SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION ON THE RESOLUTION OF UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE A-46 AT POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. M69472 AND M69473)

Dear Mr. Sellman:

Enclosed is the safety evcluation of Wisconsin Electric (WE) Power Company's USl A-46 implementation program at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2.

WE's Unresolved Safety issue (USI) A-46 program at the Point Beach Plant was established in response to Generic Letter (GL) 87-02 through a 10 CFR 50.54(f) letter. The NRC staff concludes that WE's USl A-46 implementation program has, in general, met the purpose and intent of the criteria in the Generic implementation Procedure, Revision 2 (GIP-2) and the NRC's Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report No. 2 (SSER No. 2) for the resolution of USl A-46. The staff has determined that WE's corrective actions and completed physical modifications for resolution of outliers will result in safety enhancements, in certain aspects, that are beyond the originallicensing basis, and as a result, provide sufficient basis to close the USl A-46 review at Pcint Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The staff concludes that WE's implementation program to resolve USl A-46 at the facility has adequately addressed the purpose of the 10 CFR 50.54(f) request. WE's activities related to the USl A-46 implementation are subject to NRC inspection.

Sincerely,

, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY Linda L. Gundrum, Project Manager Project Directorate lil-1 Divisicn of Reactor Projects - lil/IV Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-266 and 50-301
