SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) requests a license amendment to revise the facility operating licenses and the technical specifications (TS) for Point Beach Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes to the operating licenses, which are administrative in nature, remove license conditions that have been completed and are no longer in effect.
The proposed change to the TS revises the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP) by changing the value for methyl iodide penetration for the control room emergency filtration system (CREFS).
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Change to Operating Licenses The operating licenses for Point Beach Units 1 and 2 contain a number of conditional requirements, many of which were incorporated into the license through the license amendment process under 10 CFR 50.90. Most of the conditions that were issued in conjunction with a license amendment have been left intact in the operating license although they are no longer required. As a result, NextEra is proposing an administrative change to remove those license conditions that are no longer applicable.
The objective is to update the licenses so that they contain only those license conditions that remain pertinent to current operations and do not contain unnecessary or obsolete requirements.
2.2 Change to TS 5.5.10, VFTP The proposed change increases the value of methyl iodide penetration in TS 5.5.1 O.c from 1.0% to 2.5% as shown below.
- c. Demonstrate for the Control Room Emergency Filtration System (F-16) that a laboratory test of a sample of the charcoal adsorber, when obtained in accordance with the methodology of ANSI N51 0-1980, Section 13, excluding subsection 12.3, shows the methyl iodide penetration ::::; 4.0 2.5% , when tested in accordance with ASTM 03803-1989 at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 95%, applying the tolerances of ASTM 03803-1989.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
- 3. 1 Change to Operating Licenses Each license condition proposed for deletion is discussed and justified below. In most instances, the same license condition is applicable to both units, but the license item designator may be different between the licenses. The first designator listed is for the Unit 1 license condition and the second is for the Unit 2 license condition .
4.E. Safety Injection Logic (Unit 1) I 4.E. Safety Injection Logic (Unit 2)
License condition:
The licensee is authorized to modify the safety injection actuation logic and actuation power supplies and related changes as described in licensee's application for Page 1 of 12
amendment dated April27, 1979, as supplemented May 7, 1979. In the interim period until the power supply modification has been completed, should any DC powered safety injection actuation channel be in a failed condition for greater than one hour, the unit shall thereafter be shutdown using normal procedures and placed in a block-permissive condition for safety injection actuation.
Justification for Deletion:
The license condition specified interim actions until the power supply modification was complete. The power supply modification was completed on May 18, 1979.
License condition 4.E is complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license condition.
4.1. FSAR Supplement I 4.H. FSAR Supplement License condition:
The FSAR supplement, dated February 25, 2004, as revised , submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21 (d), shall be included in the next scheduled update to the FSAR required by 10 CFR 50.71 (e)(4) following the issuance of this renewed operating license. Until that update is complete, FPLE Point Beach may make changes to the programs and activities described in the supplement without prior Commission approval, provided that FPLE Point Beach evaluates such changes pursuant to the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.59 and otherwise complies with the requirements in that section .
Justification for Deletion:
Point Beach letter NRC 2006-0067 [Reference 1], submitted on August 15, 2006, provided an update to the Final Safety Analysis Report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e). License conditions 4.1 and 4.H are complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license condition .
4.J. Completion of Activities I 4.1. Completion of Activities License condition :
The FSAR supplement, dated February 25, 2004, as revised, describes certain future activities to be completed prior to the period of extended operation. NextEra Energy Point Beach shall complete these activities no later than [October 5, 2010 for Unit 1]
[March 8, 2013 for Unit 2], and shall notify the NRC in writing when implementation of these activities is complete and can be verified by NRC inspection.
Justification for Deletion :
By letter dated September 3, 2010 [Reference 2]), NextEra notified the NRC that the activities required to be complete no later than October 5, 2010 had been completed and could be verified by NRC inspection. Similarly, in a letter dated February 28, 2013
[Reference 3], NextEra notified the NRC that the activities required to be complete no later than March 8, 2013 had been completed and could be verified by NRC inspection.
License conditions 4.J and 4.1 are complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license conditions.
Page 2 of 12
The following license conditions are contained in Appendix C, Additional Conditions, of the Point Beach operating licenses. In each instance, the same license condition is applicable to both units, but the license condition designator, which is a license amendment number, is different for the two units. The first designator is the amendment number for the Unit 1 license condition and the second is for the Unit 2 license condition.
Amendment 201 I Amendment 206, Relocate Certain Technical Specification Requirements License condition:
The licensee is authorized to relocate certain Technical Specification requirements previously included in Appendix A to licensee controlled documents, as described in Table R, Relocated Specifications and Removal of Details Matrix, attached to the NRC Staff's safety evaluation dated August 8, 2001. These requirements shall be relocated to the appropriate documents no later than December 31, 2001.
Justification for Deletion:
This license condition is associated with the amendment that approved conversion to the Improved Technical Specification (TS), which required relocating certain requirements from the TS to licensee-controlled documents where further changes to the requirements would be controlled by regulations or other requirements (e.g ., in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59). Point Beach implemented the Improved TS on November 20, 2001, and at the same time, issued revision 0 of the Technical Requirements Manual, which contained requirements relocated from the TS as part of the of Improved TS implementation.
The license condition was completed in November of 2001; therefore, NextEra proposes removing this license condition.
Amendment 201 I Amendment 206, Schedule for Performing Surveillance Requirements License condition:
The schedule for performing Surveillance Requirements (SRs) that are new or revised in Amendment 201 I Amendment 206 shall be as follows:
For SRs that are new in this amendment, the first performance is due at the end of the first surveillance interval that begins on the date of implementation of this amendment.
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment, whose intervals of performance are being reduced, the first reduced surveillance interval begins upon completion of the first surveillance performed after implementation of this amendment.
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment that have modified acceptance criteria, the first performance is due at the end of the first surveillance interval that began on the date the surveillance was last performed prior to the implementation of this amendment.
Page 3 of 12
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment, whose intervals of performance are being extended, the first extended surveillance interval begins upon completion of the last surveillance performed prior to the implementation of this amendment.
Justification for Deletion :
This license condition is associated with the amendment that approved conversion to the Improved TS. Point Beach implemented the Improved TS approximately 14 years ago (November 2001); therefore, the license condition regarding scheduling of surveillance requirements associated with the conversion to the improved TS is complete and NextEra proposes removing this license condition .

Page 4 of 12
- b. The first performance of the periodic assessment of CRE habitability, Specification 5.5.18.c.(ii), shall be within three (3) years of completion of the testing prescribed in item a. above.
- c. The first performance of the periodic measurement of CRE pressure, Specification 5.5.18.d, shall be within 18 months of implementation of this amendment.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra performed SR 3.7.9.6 in accordance with Specification 5.5.18.c.(i) on November 26, 2012. The periodic assessment of CRE habitability completed in February 2013. NextEra obtained measurements of CRE pressure in accordance with Specification 5.5.18.d in September 2012. The performance of the test requirements in this license condition have been completed; therefore, the license condition is complete and NextEra proposes removing this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Control Room Shielding License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the PBNP control room (CR) radiation shielding to ensure CR habitability requirements are maintained.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra modified the control room shielding in May 2011 ; therefore, NextEra proposes removing this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Emergency Operating Procedures License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall revise PBNP Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) to direct continued containment spray while on sump recirculation.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra revised the EOPs with instructions to maintain containment spray for two hours while on sump recirculation; therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Control Room Emergency Filtration System Modifications License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the control room emergency filtration system (CREFS) to create a new alignment for the accident mode that provides a combination of filtered outside air and filtered recirculation air. The modifications shall include redundancy for all CREFS active components that must reposition from their normal operating position, and auto-start capability on loss of offsite power in conjunction with a containment isolation or high control room radiation signal from an Page 5 of 12
emergency diesel generator supplied source for the CREFS fans required for the new system alignment.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra modified the CREFS in accordance with this license condition in June 2011 ;
therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation System Modifications License condition :
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the primary auxiliary building (PAB) ventilation system (VNPAB) to ensure redundancy of active components needed to operate the PAB exhaust system . VNPAB components required to direct radioactive releases in the PAB to the vent stack shall be upgraded to an augmented quality status.
No credit is taken by AST for the PAB charcoal filters. NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall revise PBNP EOPs to address starting the VNPAB fans .
Justification for Deletion:
As described in Point Beach UFSAR section 9.5, the VNPAB exhaust system design provides redundancy for all active mechanical components and active and passive electrical components needed to provide primary auxiliary building (PAB) exhaust flow.
Components in the exhaust system required to direct radioactive releases in the PAB to the vent stack are classified as augmented quality. In addition, the emergency operating procedures ensure that the VNPAB exhaust system is in operation within 30 minutes following the alignment of the RHR system to the containment sump recirculation mode of operation.
The requirements of this license condition have been met; therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition .
Additionally, NextEra submitted LAR 279, Elimination of Technical Specification 3.7.14, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation , on January 15,2016 to delete TS 3.7.14, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation (VNPAB) in its entirety on the basis that the VNPAB is not credited for accident mitigation and meets none of the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36 for inclusion in the TS .
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Emergency Diesel Generator Loading License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall perform Train B Emergency Diesel Generator load testing over a range of 2877 to 2950 kW at rated power factor. This license condition will remain in effect until implementation of LAR 261 for Unit 2.
Justification for Deletion:
In a letter dated May 19, 2011 [Reference 4], NextEra notified the NRC that no action needed to be taken to satisfy this license condition. Amendments 240 and 244 were being implemented concurrently with Auxiliary Feedwater Amendments 238 and 242 for Page6of12
Units 1 and 2, respectively. Amendments 238 and 242 contained a license condition to implement modifications to reduce emergency diesel generator (EDG) loading such that the maximum loading will not exceed the 2000-hour rating of the EDGs and a new surveillance requirement for testing the EDGs at the 2000-hour rating. The 2000-hour rating of the train B EDGs is 2848 kW. Therefore, load testing over a range of 2877 to 2950 kW values accounting for automatic alternate source term (AST) loads prior to extended power uprate modifications is no longer necessary. There will be no period of time where the AST loading on the Train B EDGs is a concern. Accordingly, there is no action that must be taken to satisfy this license condition . Therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Control Room Emergency Filtration System Seismic Requirements License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall install and support CREFS mitigating filtration unit(s) and associated ductwork and bubble tight dampers to Seismic Class I requirements as defined in FSAR Appendix AS. The mitigating filtration unit(s) shall be seismically qualified in accordance with the guidelines provided in the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) Generic Implementation Procedure for Seismic Verification of Nuclear Plant Equipment, Revision 2, as corrected on February 14, 1992, and in the December 2006, Electric Power Research Institute {EPRI)
Final Report 1014608, "Seismic Evaluation Guidelines for HVAC Duct and Damper Systems: Revision to 1007896," as applicable.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra completed the upgrade to the CREFS required by this license condition in June 2011 . This license condition is complete; therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Mitigating Filtration Unit Motors License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall procure mitigating filtration unit motors equivalent to W-14NB (equivalent HP, efficiency, power factor, and voltage requirements).
Justification for Deletion:
Nextera completed this license condition in April 2011 and therefore, proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 241 I Amendment 245, Eliminate Reliance on Local Manual Action License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall eliminate the reliance on local manual action to gag the Motor-Driven and Turbine Driven AFW pump mini-recirculation valves open.
Page 7 of 12
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra completed a modification to address this license condition in June 2011 and therefore , proposes to remove this license condition .
Amendment 241 I Amendment 245, Air Cooled Air Compressor License condition :
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall install a self-cooled (i.e., air-cooled) air compressor capable of supplying Instrument Air. The compressor shall be independent of Service Water cooling and normally aligned for automatic operation .
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra installed an air-cooled compressor in response to this license condition in November 2011 and therefore, proposes to remove this license condition.
3.2 Change to Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP)
Description of the CREFS The control room ventilation system (VNCR) is designed to provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning , and radiological habitability for the control and computer rooms , which are both within the control room envelope (CRE). The CREFS is a subset of the VNCR system that ensures habitability of the control room during challenges from radioactivity, hazardous chemicals, and fire byproducts. The CREFS consists of one emergency air filtration unit, two emergency fans, two recirculation fans, and required ducts, valves, instrumentation , doors, barriers, and dampers necessary to establish the required flowpaths and isolation boundaries that recirculate and filter the air within the CRE.
Automatic actuation of the CREFS in the emergency mode is initiated by a containment isolation signal, high radiation signal from the control room monitor, or a high radiation signal from the noble gas monitor located in the supply duct to the control room.
Operating in the emergency mode, CREFS provides for control room pressurization to limit in-leakage, and makeup and recirculated air is filtered through HEPA and charcoal filters to remove contaminates .
Proposed Change to Allowable Penetration TS 5.5.1 0, VTFP, item c currently requires that testing of the CREFS filter (F-16) shows the methyl iodide penetration less than or equal to 1.0%. NextEra proposes to increase this value to 2.5% as justified below.
Generic Letter (GL) 99-02, "Laboratory Testing of Nuclear-Grade Activated Charcoal"
[Reference 5], and NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications (STS) ,
Westinghouse Plants [Reference 6], provide the following formula for allowable penetration:
Allowable = [1 00% - Methyl Iodide Efficiency *for Charcoal Credited in Licensee's Penetration Accident Analysis I Safety Factor]
Page 8 of 12
The GL and STS discuss that the methyl iodide efficiency should be the value that was incorporated in the licensee's accident analysis which was reviewed and approved by the staff in a safety evaluation. The CREFS filter efficiency for organic (methyl) iodine is 95% as documented in the safety evaluation for Point Beach Amendments 240 and 244
[Reference 7] regarding alternate source term.
The NRC documents also state that the staff will accept a safety factor greater than or equal to two for systems with or without humidity control when ASTM 03803-1989 is used with 30 ° C (86 ° F) and 95% RH (or 70% RH with humidity control). Point Beach TS 5. 5.10 requires testing in accordance with ASTM 03803-1989 at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 95%; therefore, NextEra proposes applying a safety factor of two. Using the filter efficiency of 95% and a safety factor of 2 results in an allowable penetration of 2.5.
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria
- 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit - requires that when a licensee desires to amend a license or permit, an application for an amendment must be filed with the Commission fully describing the changes desired, and following as far as applicable, the fo rm prescribed for original applications.
- The NRC may incorporate requirements (license conditions) into the license as needed as a result of reviews during the license amendment process pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90.
- Point Beach GDC 11 -The facility shall be provided with a control room from which actions to maintain safe operational status of the plant can be controlled . Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit continuous occupancy of the control room under any credible post-accident condition or as an alternative, access to other areas of the facility as necessary to shut down and maintain safe control of the facility without excessive radiation exposures of personnel.
- Point Beach is not licensed to the General Design Criteria (GDC) of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) published proposed GDC for public comment in 1967, and the Atomic Industrial Forum (AIF) reviewed these proposed criteria and recommended changes. The Point Beach GDC as documented in the UFSAR are similar in content to the AIF version of the 1967 proposed GDC.
- 10 CFR 50.67, Accident source term, requires adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access to and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 0.05 Sv (5 rem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident.
Page 9 of 12
4.2 Precedent
- The NRC issued Amendment 223 [Reference 8] to Columbia Generating Station in March 2012 for deletion or modification of license conditions that have been completed or are no longer in effect.
- Amendments 279 and 261 [Reference 9] modified the operating licenses for D.C. Cook, Units 1 and 2, to delete obsolete and expired license conditions .
- Amendment 265 [Reference 10] modified the Indian Point 2 TS by changing the charcoal testing criteria in TS 5.5.9, Ventilation Filter Testing Program ,
to increase the amount of iodine which must be adsorbed by the charcoal filter.
4.3 Significant Hazards Consideration NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) requests a license amendment to revise the facility operating licenses and the technical specifications {TS) for Point Beach Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes remove license conditions that have been completed and are no longer in effect and revise a charcoal testing criterion for the control room emergency filtration system.
As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), NextEra has evaluated the proposed change to the Point Beach TS using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 and determined that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration. An analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below.
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response : No The proposed amendment includes a change to delete license conditions that are complete or otherwise obsolete. This change is strictly administrative in nature. The proposed amendment also revises the charcoal testing criteria in TS 5.5.1 0, Ventilation Filter Testing Program.
The proposed changes do not impact the physical configuration or function of plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs) or the manner in which SSCs are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. No actual facility equipment or accident analyses are affected by the proposed changes.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different type of equipment will be installed). The proposed Page 10 of 12
changes do not create any new failure modes for existing equipment or any new limiting single failures. Additionally, the proposed changes do not-involve a change in the methods governing normal plant operation, and all safety functions will continue to perform as previously assumed in the accident analyses. Thus, the proposed change does not adversely affect the design function or operation of any structures, systems, and components important to safety.
No new accident scenarios, failure mechanisms, or limiting single failures are introduced as a result of the proposed changes. The proposed changes do not challenge the performance or integrity of any safety-related system.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The margin of safety associated with the acceptance criteria of any accident is unchanged. The proposed changes will have no effect on the availability, operability, or performance of safety-related systems and components. The proposed change will not adversely affect the operation of plant equipment or the function of equipment assumed in the accident analysis.
The proposed amendment does not involve changes to any safety analyses assumptions, safety limits, or limiting safety system settings.
The changes do not adversely impact plant operating margins or the reliability of equipment credited in the safety analyses.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based upon the above analysis, NextEra concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," and accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
NextEra has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations. The review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement.
However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) requests a license amendment to revise the facility operating licenses and the technical specifications (TS) for Point Beach Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes to the operating licenses, which are administrative in nature, remove license conditions that have been completed and are no longer in effect.
The proposed change to the TS revises the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP) by changing the value for methyl iodide penetration for the control room emergency filtration system (CREFS).
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Change to Operating Licenses The operating licenses for Point Beach Units 1 and 2 contain a number of conditional requirements, many of which were incorporated into the license through the license amendment process under 10 CFR 50.90. Most of the conditions that were issued in conjunction with a license amendment have been left intact in the operating license although they are no longer required. As a result, NextEra is proposing an administrative change to remove those license conditions that are no longer applicable.
The objective is to update the licenses so that they contain only those license conditions that remain pertinent to current operations and do not contain unnecessary or obsolete requirements.
2.2 Change to TS 5.5.10, VFTP The proposed change increases the value of methyl iodide penetration in TS 5.5.1 O.c from 1.0% to 2.5% as shown below.
- c. Demonstrate for the Control Room Emergency Filtration System (F-16) that a laboratory test of a sample of the charcoal adsorber, when obtained in accordance with the methodology of ANSI N51 0-1980, Section 13, excluding subsection 12.3, shows the methyl iodide penetration ::::; 4.0 2.5% , when tested in accordance with ASTM 03803-1989 at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 95%, applying the tolerances of ASTM 03803-1989.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
- 3. 1 Change to Operating Licenses Each license condition proposed for deletion is discussed and justified below. In most instances, the same license condition is applicable to both units, but the license item designator may be different between the licenses. The first designator listed is for the Unit 1 license condition and the second is for the Unit 2 license condition .
4.E. Safety Injection Logic (Unit 1) I 4.E. Safety Injection Logic (Unit 2)
License condition:
The licensee is authorized to modify the safety injection actuation logic and actuation power supplies and related changes as described in licensee's application for Page 1 of 12
amendment dated April27, 1979, as supplemented May 7, 1979. In the interim period until the power supply modification has been completed, should any DC powered safety injection actuation channel be in a failed condition for greater than one hour, the unit shall thereafter be shutdown using normal procedures and placed in a block-permissive condition for safety injection actuation.
Justification for Deletion:
The license condition specified interim actions until the power supply modification was complete. The power supply modification was completed on May 18, 1979.
License condition 4.E is complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license condition.
4.1. FSAR Supplement I 4.H. FSAR Supplement License condition:
The FSAR supplement, dated February 25, 2004, as revised , submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21 (d), shall be included in the next scheduled update to the FSAR required by 10 CFR 50.71 (e)(4) following the issuance of this renewed operating license. Until that update is complete, FPLE Point Beach may make changes to the programs and activities described in the supplement without prior Commission approval, provided that FPLE Point Beach evaluates such changes pursuant to the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.59 and otherwise complies with the requirements in that section .
Justification for Deletion:
Point Beach letter NRC 2006-0067 [Reference 1], submitted on August 15, 2006, provided an update to the Final Safety Analysis Report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e). License conditions 4.1 and 4.H are complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license condition .
4.J. Completion of Activities I 4.1. Completion of Activities License condition :
The FSAR supplement, dated February 25, 2004, as revised, describes certain future activities to be completed prior to the period of extended operation. NextEra Energy Point Beach shall complete these activities no later than [October 5, 2010 for Unit 1]
[March 8, 2013 for Unit 2], and shall notify the NRC in writing when implementation of these activities is complete and can be verified by NRC inspection.
Justification for Deletion :
By letter dated September 3, 2010 [Reference 2]), NextEra notified the NRC that the activities required to be complete no later than October 5, 2010 had been completed and could be verified by NRC inspection. Similarly, in a letter dated February 28, 2013
[Reference 3], NextEra notified the NRC that the activities required to be complete no later than March 8, 2013 had been completed and could be verified by NRC inspection.
License conditions 4.J and 4.1 are complete; therefore, NextEra proposes removing the license conditions.
Page 2 of 12
The following license conditions are contained in Appendix C, Additional Conditions, of the Point Beach operating licenses. In each instance, the same license condition is applicable to both units, but the license condition designator, which is a license amendment number, is different for the two units. The first designator is the amendment number for the Unit 1 license condition and the second is for the Unit 2 license condition.
Amendment 201 I Amendment 206, Relocate Certain Technical Specification Requirements License condition:
The licensee is authorized to relocate certain Technical Specification requirements previously included in Appendix A to licensee controlled documents, as described in Table R, Relocated Specifications and Removal of Details Matrix, attached to the NRC Staff's safety evaluation dated August 8, 2001. These requirements shall be relocated to the appropriate documents no later than December 31, 2001.
Justification for Deletion:
This license condition is associated with the amendment that approved conversion to the Improved Technical Specification (TS), which required relocating certain requirements from the TS to licensee-controlled documents where further changes to the requirements would be controlled by regulations or other requirements (e.g ., in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59). Point Beach implemented the Improved TS on November 20, 2001, and at the same time, issued revision 0 of the Technical Requirements Manual, which contained requirements relocated from the TS as part of the of Improved TS implementation.
The license condition was completed in November of 2001; therefore, NextEra proposes removing this license condition.
Amendment 201 I Amendment 206, Schedule for Performing Surveillance Requirements License condition:
The schedule for performing Surveillance Requirements (SRs) that are new or revised in Amendment 201 I Amendment 206 shall be as follows:
For SRs that are new in this amendment, the first performance is due at the end of the first surveillance interval that begins on the date of implementation of this amendment.
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment, whose intervals of performance are being reduced, the first reduced surveillance interval begins upon completion of the first surveillance performed after implementation of this amendment.
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment that have modified acceptance criteria, the first performance is due at the end of the first surveillance interval that began on the date the surveillance was last performed prior to the implementation of this amendment.
Page 3 of 12
For SRs that existed prior to this amendment, whose intervals of performance are being extended, the first extended surveillance interval begins upon completion of the last surveillance performed prior to the implementation of this amendment.
Justification for Deletion :
This license condition is associated with the amendment that approved conversion to the Improved TS. Point Beach implemented the Improved TS approximately 14 years ago (November 2001); therefore, the license condition regarding scheduling of surveillance requirements associated with the conversion to the improved TS is complete and NextEra proposes removing this license condition .
Amendment 238 I Amendment 242, Auxiliary Feedwater Modifications License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the motor driven auxiliary feedwater and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump systems to ensure they are powered from independent DC power sources.
Justification for Deletion:

Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Control Room Emergency Filtration System Modifications License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the control room emergency filtration system (CREFS) to create a new alignment for the accident mode that provides a combination of filtered outside air and filtered recirculation air. The modifications shall include redundancy for all CREFS active components that must reposition from their normal operating position, and auto-start capability on loss of offsite power in conjunction with a containment isolation or high control room radiation signal from an Page 5 of 12
emergency diesel generator supplied source for the CREFS fans required for the new system alignment.
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra modified the CREFS in accordance with this license condition in June 2011 ;
therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation System Modifications License condition :
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall modify the primary auxiliary building (PAB) ventilation system (VNPAB) to ensure redundancy of active components needed to operate the PAB exhaust system . VNPAB components required to direct radioactive releases in the PAB to the vent stack shall be upgraded to an augmented quality status.
No credit is taken by AST for the PAB charcoal filters. NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall revise PBNP EOPs to address starting the VNPAB fans .
Justification for Deletion:
As described in Point Beach UFSAR section 9.5, the VNPAB exhaust system design provides redundancy for all active mechanical components and active and passive electrical components needed to provide primary auxiliary building (PAB) exhaust flow.
Components in the exhaust system required to direct radioactive releases in the PAB to the vent stack are classified as augmented quality. In addition, the emergency operating procedures ensure that the VNPAB exhaust system is in operation within 30 minutes following the alignment of the RHR system to the containment sump recirculation mode of operation.
The requirements of this license condition have been met; therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition .
Additionally, NextEra submitted LAR 279, Elimination of Technical Specification 3.7.14, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation , on January 15,2016 to delete TS 3.7.14, Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation (VNPAB) in its entirety on the basis that the VNPAB is not credited for accident mitigation and meets none of the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36 for inclusion in the TS .
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Emergency Diesel Generator Loading License condition:
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall perform Train B Emergency Diesel Generator load testing over a range of 2877 to 2950 kW at rated power factor. This license condition will remain in effect until implementation of LAR 261 for Unit 2.
Justification for Deletion:
In a letter dated May 19, 2011 [Reference 4], NextEra notified the NRC that no action needed to be taken to satisfy this license condition. Amendments 240 and 244 were being implemented concurrently with Auxiliary Feedwater Amendments 238 and 242 for Page6of12
Units 1 and 2, respectively. Amendments 238 and 242 contained a license condition to implement modifications to reduce emergency diesel generator (EDG) loading such that the maximum loading will not exceed the 2000-hour rating of the EDGs and a new surveillance requirement for testing the EDGs at the 2000-hour rating. The 2000-hour rating of the train B EDGs is 2848 kW. Therefore, load testing over a range of 2877 to 2950 kW values accounting for automatic alternate source term (AST) loads prior to extended power uprate modifications is no longer necessary. There will be no period of time where the AST loading on the Train B EDGs is a concern. Accordingly, there is no action that must be taken to satisfy this license condition . Therefore, NextEra proposes to remove this license condition.
Amendment 240 I Amendment 244, Control Room Emergency Filtration System Seismic Requirements License condition:

Amendment 241 I Amendment 245, Air Cooled Air Compressor License condition :
NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC shall install a self-cooled (i.e., air-cooled) air compressor capable of supplying Instrument Air. The compressor shall be independent of Service Water cooling and normally aligned for automatic operation .
Justification for Deletion:
NextEra installed an air-cooled compressor in response to this license condition in November 2011 and therefore, proposes to remove this license condition.
3.2 Change to Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP)
Description of the CREFS The control room ventilation system (VNCR) is designed to provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning , and radiological habitability for the control and computer rooms , which are both within the control room envelope (CRE). The CREFS is a subset of the VNCR system that ensures habitability of the control room during challenges from radioactivity, hazardous chemicals, and fire byproducts. The CREFS consists of one emergency air filtration unit, two emergency fans, two recirculation fans, and required ducts, valves, instrumentation , doors, barriers, and dampers necessary to establish the required flowpaths and isolation boundaries that recirculate and filter the air within the CRE.
Automatic actuation of the CREFS in the emergency mode is initiated by a containment isolation signal, high radiation signal from the control room monitor, or a high radiation signal from the noble gas monitor located in the supply duct to the control room.
Operating in the emergency mode, CREFS provides for control room pressurization to limit in-leakage, and makeup and recirculated air is filtered through HEPA and charcoal filters to remove contaminates .
Proposed Change to Allowable Penetration TS 5.5.1 0, VTFP, item c currently requires that testing of the CREFS filter (F-16) shows the methyl iodide penetration less than or equal to 1.0%. NextEra proposes to increase this value to 2.5% as justified below.
Generic Letter (GL) 99-02, "Laboratory Testing of Nuclear-Grade Activated Charcoal"
[Reference 5], and NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications (STS) ,
Westinghouse Plants [Reference 6], provide the following formula for allowable penetration:
Allowable = [1 00% - Methyl Iodide Efficiency *for Charcoal Credited in Licensee's Penetration Accident Analysis I Safety Factor]
Page 8 of 12
The GL and STS discuss that the methyl iodide efficiency should be the value that was incorporated in the licensee's accident analysis which was reviewed and approved by the staff in a safety evaluation. The CREFS filter efficiency for organic (methyl) iodine is 95% as documented in the safety evaluation for Point Beach Amendments 240 and 244
[Reference 7] regarding alternate source term.
The NRC documents also state that the staff will accept a safety factor greater than or equal to two for systems with or without humidity control when ASTM 03803-1989 is used with 30 ° C (86 ° F) and 95% RH (or 70% RH with humidity control). Point Beach TS 5. 5.10 requires testing in accordance with ASTM 03803-1989 at a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 95%; therefore, NextEra proposes applying a safety factor of two. Using the filter efficiency of 95% and a safety factor of 2 results in an allowable penetration of 2.5.
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria
- 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit - requires that when a licensee desires to amend a license or permit, an application for an amendment must be filed with the Commission fully describing the changes desired, and following as far as applicable, the fo rm prescribed for original applications.
- The NRC may incorporate requirements (license conditions) into the license as needed as a result of reviews during the license amendment process pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90.
- Point Beach GDC 11 -The facility shall be provided with a control room from which actions to maintain safe operational status of the plant can be controlled . Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit continuous occupancy of the control room under any credible post-accident condition or as an alternative, access to other areas of the facility as necessary to shut down and maintain safe control of the facility without excessive radiation exposures of personnel.
- Point Beach is not licensed to the General Design Criteria (GDC) of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) published proposed GDC for public comment in 1967, and the Atomic Industrial Forum (AIF) reviewed these proposed criteria and recommended changes. The Point Beach GDC as documented in the UFSAR are similar in content to the AIF version of the 1967 proposed GDC.
- 10 CFR 50.67, Accident source term, requires adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access to and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 0.05 Sv (5 rem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident.
Page 9 of 12
4.2 Precedent
- The NRC issued Amendment 223 [Reference 8] to Columbia Generating Station in March 2012 for deletion or modification of license conditions that have been completed or are no longer in effect.
- Amendments 279 and 261 [Reference 9] modified the operating licenses for D.C. Cook, Units 1 and 2, to delete obsolete and expired license conditions .
- Amendment 265 [Reference 10] modified the Indian Point 2 TS by changing the charcoal testing criteria in TS 5.5.9, Ventilation Filter Testing Program ,
to increase the amount of iodine which must be adsorbed by the charcoal filter.
4.3 Significant Hazards Consideration NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) requests a license amendment to revise the facility operating licenses and the technical specifications {TS) for Point Beach Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes remove license conditions that have been completed and are no longer in effect and revise a charcoal testing criterion for the control room emergency filtration system.
As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), NextEra has evaluated the proposed change to the Point Beach TS using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 and determined that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration. An analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below.
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response : No The proposed amendment includes a change to delete license conditions that are complete or otherwise obsolete. This change is strictly administrative in nature. The proposed amendment also revises the charcoal testing criteria in TS 5.5.1 0, Ventilation Filter Testing Program.
The proposed changes do not impact the physical configuration or function of plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs) or the manner in which SSCs are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. No actual facility equipment or accident analyses are affected by the proposed changes.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different type of equipment will be installed). The proposed Page 10 of 12
changes do not create any new failure modes for existing equipment or any new limiting single failures. Additionally, the proposed changes do not-involve a change in the methods governing normal plant operation, and all safety functions will continue to perform as previously assumed in the accident analyses. Thus, the proposed change does not adversely affect the design function or operation of any structures, systems, and components important to safety.
No new accident scenarios, failure mechanisms, or limiting single failures are introduced as a result of the proposed changes. The proposed changes do not challenge the performance or integrity of any safety-related system.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The margin of safety associated with the acceptance criteria of any accident is unchanged. The proposed changes will have no effect on the availability, operability, or performance of safety-related systems and components. The proposed change will not adversely affect the operation of plant equipment or the function of equipment assumed in the accident analysis.
The proposed amendment does not involve changes to any safety analyses assumptions, safety limits, or limiting safety system settings.
The changes do not adversely impact plant operating margins or the reliability of equipment credited in the safety analyses.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based upon the above analysis, NextEra concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," and accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
NextEra has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations. The review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement.
However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
