LIC-109 Acceptance Review - Point Beach Unit 1 - Relief Request VR-01, Extension to Perform Inservice Testing of 1CC-00763B - MF6225By letter dated May 14, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15134A086), pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra)(the licensee), submitted a relief request, VR-01 for Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) Unit 1. The proposed relief request is asking for relief on a one-time basis, from the requirements of Section I-1350(a) of Mandatory Appendix I of the American Society of Mechanical Engineer's Operation and Maintenance (0M) CODE, 2004 Edition through the 2006 Addenda. Relief is requested from performing inservice testing (IST) of relief valve 1CC-00763B as detailed in Relief Request VR-01 (Enclosure

1) of the application.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this relief request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to a llow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant. Pursuant to Sections 50.55a(z)(1) and 50.55(a)(z)(2) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or that compliance with the specified requirements of Section 50.55a would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality or safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that

impact the NRC staff's ability to complete the detailed te chnical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff

's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.

If you have any further questions, please contact me. Thanks Mahesh Chawla Project Manager Phone: 301-415-8371
