LIC-109 Acceptance Review Supplement Request - Point Beach Units 1 and 2 LAR 287 -

Application to adopt 10 CFR 50.69, "Risk-Informed Categorization and Treatment of Structures (SSCs) for Nuclear Power Plants" - MG0196/MG0197

Dear Mr. Schultz:

By letter dated August 31, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17243A201), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC submitted a license amendment request for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendment would revise the licensing basis by adding a license condition to allow for the implementation of the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.69, "Risk-Informed Categorization and Treatment of Structures, Systems and Components for Nuclear Power Reactors."

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this LAR. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that the information delineated below is necessary to enable the NRC staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment.

In order to make the application complete, the NRC staff requests that licensee supplement the application to address the information requested below by a date to be agreed upon during a teleconference to discuss this information. This will enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. If the information responsive to the NRC staffs request is not received by the above date, the application will not be accepted for review pursuant to 10 CFR 2.101, and the NRC staff will cease its review activities associated with the application. If the application is subsequently accepted for review, you will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staffs detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

Supplemental Information Request

a. Clarify whether a high winds hazard screening evaluation or the high winds PRA will be used during the safety significance categorization process consistent with Section 5.4 of NEI 00-04, as endorsed by RG 1.201, Revision 1.

b. If the high winds PRA will be used during the safety significance categorization process, describe the peer review process applied to the high winds PRA, indicate whether it was a full-scope peer review and identify the guidance used to perform this peer review (e.g., ASME/ANS RA-Sa 2009, RG 1.200, Revision 2). Include any necessary gap- or self-assessments if current guidance/standards were not 1

used in the peer review. In addition, provide all F&Os characterized as findings from the peer review of the high winds PRA. For each F&O, include details of its disposition or why not meeting the corresponding Capability Category II requirements has no impact on the application.

c. If a high winds hazard screening evaluation will be used during the safety significance categorization process, describe this screening evaluation. Also, discuss how this evaluation is consistent with the screening criteria in Section 6-2 of ASME/ANS RA-Sa 2009, as qualified by RG 1.200, Revision 2, and reflects the current as-built, as-operated plant.

Please arrange a teleconference to discuss this information with the NRC staff. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks Mahesh Chawla Project Manager Phone: 301-415-8371 Fax: 301-415-1222 mahesh.chawla@nrc.gov 2
