Reference:
- 1. NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC letter to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, License Amendment Request 273, Application for Technical Specification Change Regarding Risk-Informed Justifications for the Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled Program, dated July 3, 2014 (ML14190A267)
Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50.90, Next Era Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) requested to amend renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-24 and DPR-27 to Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, respectively. (Reference 1) The proposed amendment will modify the PBNP Technical Specifications (TS) by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specification Initiative 5b, Risk Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ML071360456).
The changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF)
Standard Technical Specifications (STS) change TSTF-425, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-Risk Informed Technical Specifications Task Force (RITSTF)
Initiative 5b," Revision 3, (ML090850642). Federal Register "Notice of Availability of Technical Specification Improvement to Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control-Risk Informed Specification Task Force (RITSTF) Initiative 5 B, Technical Specification Task Force-425, Revision 3," published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) announced the availability of this TS improvement.
Subsequent to submitting this license amendment request, a review of the proposed TS changes found two pages that are not consistent with TSTF-425. These two pages are attached to this letter with the correct marked-up changes. Page 3.3.1-10 and page 3.4.12-4 attached to this letter replace the pages submitted in Attachment 3 of Reference (1 ).
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, 6610 Nuclear Road, Two Rivers, WI 54241
Document Control Desk Page 2 There are no changes to the no significant hazards consideration or the environmental considerations.
Pursuant 10 CFR 50.91 (b )(1 ), a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the State of Wisconsin designee.
