Via Reference (I), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) made a Regulatory Commitment to submit a plan to achieve final resolution of Generic Safety lssue (GSI)-191, consistent with the industry guidance contained in Reference (2), by December 31,2012. The Nuclear Energy lnstitute (NEI) subsequently recommended licensees delay submittal of GSI-191 resolution plans to allow time to appropriately address the NRC direction contained in the Staff Requirements Memorandum, SECY-12-0093, and the NRC Safety Evaluation on WCAP-16793, Revision 2 (Reference 3).
