- 1. NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NEPB) Letter NRC 2020-0032 dated November 16, 2020, Application for Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML20329A292)
NEPB, owner and licensee for Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBN) Units 1 and 2, has submitted a subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) for the Facility Operating Licenses for PBN Units 1 and 2 (Reference 1).
The License Renewal Rule, 10 CFR 54.21(b), requires that each year following submittal of an LRA, and at least 3 months before scheduled completion of the NRC review, an update to the LRA must be submitted that identifies any change to the current licensing basis (CLB) of the facility that materially affects the content of the LRA including the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Supplement.
In accordance with the License Renewal Rule, NEPB has performed the annual review of PBN Units 1 and 2 CLB changes since SLRA submittal to determine whether any sections of the SLRA were materially affected by these changes. As a result of this annual review, NEPB identified three changes to the PBN Units 1 and 2 CLB materially affecting SLRA content. A description of these changes and the corresponding affected SLRA content revisions are attached.
For ease of reference, the index of attached information is provided on page 3 of this letter. Attachment 2 includes associated revisions to the SLRA (Enclosure 3 Attachment 1 of Reference 1) denoted by strikethrough (deletion) and/or bold red underline (insertion) text. Previous SLRA revisions are denoted by bold black text. SLRA table revisions are included as excerpts from each affected table.
Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact me at (561) 304-6256 or William.Maher@fpl.com.

2.3.3.12 Circulating Water Description The circulating water system provides a reliable supply of water from Lake Michigan to condense the steam exhausted from the low-pressure turbines. It is a non-seismic piping system whose primary function is to remove heat from the steam cycle via the main condensers. The principal components of the circulating water system (CW) are the circulating water pumps, traveling screens and screen wash pumps and the associated piping and valves.
The CW system does not perform any safety related functions. The A portion of the circulating water system that is in-scope includes the screen wash piping and associated components within the service water pump room. These are in-scope of SLR in accordance with 10 CFR 54.4(a)(2) due to the potential for leakage which could prevent the performance of a service water system safety function. The forebay inlet MOVs 1/2CW-2 are in-scope because these valves perform a fire protection function.
The portions of the CW system containing components subject to an AMR include the flood dampers and screen wash piping, valves, and associated components.
Boundary The SLR boundaries are reflected on the SLR boundary drawings listed below. There are significant differences between these boundaries and the boundaries identified as part of the original PBN license renewal effort due to the addition of flood dampers to the circulating water pump house (CWPH) structure floor. These dampers eliminate the possibility for flooding from the circulating water system to affect safety related service water components. These damper housings are addressed as part of plant structures in Section 2.5.1.2.
The subsequent license renewal boundaries include interfaces with the service water system as can be seen on drawings SLR-M-212, Sheet 1 at G-7 and SLR-M-2212 at A-8. The forebay inlet MOVs 1/2CW-2 are shown on SLR-M-212, Sheet 2 at G-4 &
- 7. The circulating water system also interfaces with the fire water system as can be seen on drawing SLR-M-212, Sheet 2 at C-7.

None.
Nonsafety-related components that could affect safety-related functions (10 CFR 54.4(a)(2)):
(1) Maintain integrity of nonsafety-related components such that no interaction with safety-related components could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of a safety function.
Fire protection, EQ, PTS, ATWS, and SBO functions (10 CFR 54.4(a)(3)):
(1) Perform a function that demonstrates compliance with the Commissions regulations for fire protection program.
None.

Pressure boundary 2.3.3.15 Plant Air Description The plant air system for PBN Units 1 and 2 are essentially identical. On this basis, the following discussion applies to both units. This system includes instrument air (IA),
service air (SA), and emergency breathing air (EBA) sub-systems. The IA and SA sub-systems supply compressed air throughout the plant. The IA sub-system supplies
Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Dockets 50-266 and 50-301 Affected SLRA Content Revisions L-2021-224 Attachment 2 Page 6 of 13 dry, oil-free air to various components for the normal operation of both units. The SA sub-system supplies non-dried, oil-free air to those plant services not requiring dry air.
The EBA sub-system is no longer credited after implementation of NFPA 805 and therefore not in the scope of SLR.
The IA sub-system consists of two air compressors, air receivers, air dryer units, filters, and air header piping and valves. The air compressors and aftercoolers are cooled by the service water system (SW). Normally one IA compressor is sufficient to supply plant requirements. The instrument air sub-system is normally in continuous operation during normal plant operation and shutdown.
In order to maintain operability on loss of IA, some components use nitrogen bottles, regulators, check valves, and/or air accumulators to maintain pressure at a component for varying periods of time to support or as a backup for the subsequent license renewal component intended function (including air to the pressurizer PORVs, purge supply and exhaust boot seals, main steam isolation valves, main feedwater isolation valves, and auxiliary feedwater discharge and mini-recirc valves).
The in-scope portion of the IA sub-system includes those IA components that support the pressurizer PORVs, the IA containment isolation valves, and the main feed isolation valve operators, and fire protection. The compressors, air receivers, and air dryers for IA are not required as the system has sufficient accumulators and tanks to support the system intended functions following loss of the compressors.
The SA sub-system consists of two air compressors, receivers, and the SA header piping and valves. The air compressors and aftercoolers are cooled by the SW system. In addition to supplying normal SA loads, SA is also a backup supply to IA, and a backup supply to the EBA sub-system. Normally one SA compressor is sufficient to supply system demands. The SA sub-system is normally in either continuous or intermittent operation during normal plant operation and shutdown. The portions of the SA system containing components subject to an AMR include the containment isolation valves.
- Containment ventilation Boundary The SLR boundaries are reflected on the SLR boundary drawings listed below.
SLR-M-209, Sheets 5 and 7 contain containment isolation valves that are included in the containment isolation system (Section 3.2.2.1.4). Boundary changes since the initial license renewal include the addition of the air supplies to the new main feedwater isolation valves to support EPU, the removal of the connection to the charging pump controller and variable drives (this change removed all required components on SLR-M-209, Sheet 8), and the installation of the backup pneumatic supply to the PORVs. Additionally, removal of the EBA system via due to plant conversion to NFPA 805 [Ref. 8.18], removal of the EBA system from the SLR
Point Beach Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Dockets 50-266 and 50-301 Affected SLRA Content Revisions L-2021-224 Attachment 2 Page 7 of 13 scope removed deleted all required components from SLR-M-209 Sheet 13 and added isolation valves credited in the Nuclear Safety Capability Assessment on SLR-M-209, Sheets 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Other than these changes there are no other significant differences between these boundaries and the boundaries identified as part of the original PBN license renewal effort. Boundaries with other systems include the feedwater system at the feedwater isolation valve actuators on SLR-M-209 Sheet 5 and Sheet 7, the reactor coolant and connected piping system at the PORVs on SLR-M-209 Sheet 11, the auxiliary feedwater system valves on SLR-M-217 Sheet 2, the safety injection system at valve 1/2SI-905 on SLR-110E017 Sheet 1 and SLR-110E035 Sheet 1, and the containment ventilation system at the purge exhaust and supply fan suction boot seals on SLR-PBM-332 and SLR-PBM-2332.

There are no significant differences between the current boundaries and those identified as part of the original PBN license renewal effort.
