NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) submitted an application for subsequent renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (Point Beach), respectively, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

NextEra submitted the application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, for subsequent license renewal (SLR).

By letter dated January 15, 2021 (ML21006A417), the NRC concluded that the application was acceptable for docketing and included the staffs projected review schedule for the Point Beach subsequent license renewal application (SLRA). On January 7, 2025 (ML24347A141), the NRC issued a revised schedule for the Point Beach SLRA.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of additional changes in the review schedule to the Point Beach SLRA review. The revisions reflect several staff efficiencies that have been applied to the environmental and safety reviews since the original schedule was set.

The revised review schedule for the Point Beach SLRA is provided in the enclosure. The NRC staff will strive to meet the milestones ahead of the revised schedule whenever feasible.
