UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 November 4, 2013 Mr. Larry Meyer Site Vice President NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC 6610 Nuclear Road Two Rivers, WI 54241
SUBJECT:
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Meyer:
In a telephone conversation on October 29, 2013, Mr. D. McNeil, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. R. Amundson, NRC Exam Coordinator, arranged for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the Licensed Operator Requalification Program at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. Arrangements were also made for the NRC to conduct an inspection using Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/186, Inspection of Procedures and Processes for Responding to Potential Aircraft Threats, at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. These concurrent inspections are scheduled for the week of November 18, 2013, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-Approved Requalification Program.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRCs inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations administered during weeks 1 and 2 of your biennial examinations, and the written examination and operating test scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by November 11, 2013. The inspector also needs to review a list of corrective action reports regarding licensed operator issues the week before the inspection. Mr. Amundson has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
The TI 2515/186 NRC inspector will require a qualified control room crew for one unit including a shift manager and a qualified security shift supervisor for either a simulator or a table-top scenario to allow inspection of TI 2515/186 attributes. It would be beneficial to have the emergency plan coordinator present for the table-top scenario. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources, and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, please send the procedures that would be followed to respond to an aircraft threat and any related lesson plans pertinent to the inspection to the Region III office by the week of November 11, 2013.
