The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued two greater than green findings in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone to NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, for failure to implement external flooding wave run-up protection design features as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (Reference 1) and failure of a turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (Reference 2). References 1 and 3 indicate the NRC will conduct an inspection using Inspection Procedure 95002, "Supplemental Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area," upon being notified of Point Beach's readiness for inspection.

NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, has completed investigations to determine the root and contributing causes of the individual and collective performance issues associated with the degraded cornerstone. The extent of condition and extent of cause of the individual and collective performance issues have also been evaluated, and a determination has been made whether safety culture components were causes of or contributors to the issues . Corrective actions have been developed to address the root and contributing causes and to prevent recurrence of the significant performance issues. NextEra believes the corrective actions taken and planned will address the issues and provide the basis for sustained, improved performance at Point Beach.
