Operating License; and Final
Determination of No Significant
Hazards Consideration
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 234 to Renewed
Facility Operating License No. DPR–24
issued to FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC
(the licensee), which revised the
Technical Specifications and License for
operation of the Point Beach Nuclear
Plant Unit 1 (the facility) located in the
Town of Two Creeks, Manitowoc
County, Wisconsin. The amendment
was effective as of the date of its
issuance.
The amendment made a one cycle
revision to the Point Beach Nuclear
Plant (PBNP) Unit 1 technical
specifications (TS). Specifically, TS
5.5.8, ‘‘Steam Generator (SG) Program,’’
and TS 5.6.8, ‘‘Steam Generator Tube
Inspection Report,’’ was revised to
incorporate an interim alternate repair
criterion into the provisions for SG tube
repair for use during the Unit 1 2008 fall
refueling outage and the subsequent
operating cycle.
The application for the amendment
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s rules and regulations in
10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in
the license amendment.
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendment and Proposed No
Significant Hazards Consideration

request for a hearing was filed on
August 20, 2008 by Thomas Saporito.
Under its regulations, the Commission
may issue and make an amendment
immediately effective, notwithstanding
the pendency before it of a request for
a hearing from any person, in advance
of the holding and completion of any
required hearing, where it has
determined that no significant hazards
consideration is involved.
The Commission has applied the
standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has made
a final determination that the
amendment involves no significant
hazards consideration. The basis for this
determination is contained in the Safety
Evaluation related to this action.
Accordingly, as described above, the
amendment has been issued and made
immediately effective and any hearing
will be held after issuance.
The Commission has determined that
this amendment satisfies the criteria for
categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant
to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment need be prepared for this
amendment.
For further details with respect to this
action, see the application for
amendment dated May 28, 2008, as
supplemented by letter dated July 18,
2008, which is available for public
inspection at the Commission’s PDR,
