DPR-24 and DPR-27 for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (Point Beach), Units 1 and 2, respectively (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 14058B029). The amendments modified the Point Beach technical specifications (TSs) to allow the use of Optimized ZIRLO TM as an approved fuel rod cladding material. The amendments added two additional topical reports to TS Section 5.6.4, "CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR)," and these documents were added to the top of TS page 5.6-5. The addition of these two documents also moved the paragraph forTS Section 5.6.6, "PAM Report," from the bottom of page 5.6-5 to page 5.6-6. On June 30, 2014, the NRC issued Amendment Nos. 250 and 254 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 14126A378) for Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments modified the Point Beach TSs to revise TS 5.6.5, "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)," to allow the use of two new methodologies for determining RCS pressure and temperature limits. The entirety of TS 5.6.5 is located on TS page 5.6-5. The NRC staff subsequently identified that the TS page 5.6-5, issued with Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, did not include the two topical reports added during issuance of Amendment Nos. 249 and 253, and also continued to include TS Section 5.6.6 at the bottom of the page.

The NRC staff concludes that the errors were introduced during final preparation and issuance of Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, and are entirely editorial in nature. The proposed corrections do not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments and do not affect the associated notice to the public. Please find enclosed the replacement TS page 5.6-5 to be incorporated during implementation of Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, for Point Beach Units 1 and 2, respectively.

SUBJECT:

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - CORRECTION TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PAGE 5.6-5 ASSOCIATED WITH AMENDMENT NOS. 250 (UNIT 1) AND 254 (UNIT 2)

Dear Mr. McCartney:

On May 9, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment Nos. 249 and 253 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (Point Beach), Units 1 and 2, respectively (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14058B029). The amendments modified the Point Beach technical specifications (TSs) to allow the use of Optimized ZIRLO TM as an approved fuel rod cladding material. The amendments added two additional topical reports to TS Section 5.6.4, "CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR)," and these documents were added to the top of TS page 5.6-5. The addition of these two documents also moved the paragraph forTS Section 5.6.6, "PAM Report," from the bottom of page 5.6-5 to page 5.6-6.

On June 30, 2014, the NRC issued Amendment Nos. 250 and 254 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14126A378) for Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments modified the Point Beach TSs to revise TS 5.6.5, "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)," to allow the use of two new methodologies for determining RCS pressure and temperature limits. The entirety of TS 5.6.5 is located on TS page 5.6-5.

The NRC staff subsequently identified that the TS page 5.6-5, issued with Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, did not include the two topical reports added during issuance of Amendment Nos. 249 and 253, and also continued to include TS Section 5.6.6 at the bottom of the page. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to correct the two errors on TS page 5.6-5 issued with Amendment Nos. 250 and 254. This letter also will add the appropriate continuation heading forTS Section 5.6.4 to the top of TS page 5.6-5, which was inadvertently omitted during issuance of Amendment Nos. 249 and 253.

The NRC staff concludes that the errors were introduced during final preparation and issuance of Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, and are entirely editorial in nature. The proposed corrections do not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments and do not affect the associated notice to the public. Please find enclosed the replacement TS page 5.6-5 to be incorporated during implementation of Amendment Nos. 250 and 254, for Point Beach Units 1 and 2, respectively.

E. McCartney We regret any inconvenience this error may have caused.
