[Docket Nos. 50–266 and 50–301; NRC– 

2010–0173] 

FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC; Point 

Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2; 

Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of an amendment for Renewed 

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–24 

and DPR–27, issued to FPL Energy Point 

Beach, LLC (the licensee), for operation 

of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 

1 and 2, located in Town of Two Creeks, 

Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. 

Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, 

the NRC is issuing this environmental 

assessment and finding of no significant 

impact. 

Environmental Assessment 

Identification of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would change 

the legal name of the Licensee and 

Owner from ‘‘FPL Energy Point Beach, 

LLC’’ to ‘‘NextEra Energy Point Beach, 

LLC.’’ The proposed action would also 

make an administrative change to 

correct an error in the license by 

changing ‘‘FPLE Group Capital’’ to ‘‘FPL 

Group Capital.’’ 

The proposed action is in accordance 

with the licensee’s application dated 

April 17, 2009, as supplemented by 

letter dated January 19, 2010. 

The Need for the Proposed Action 

The proposed action is necessary to 

reflect the legal change of name of the 

Licensee and Owner on April 16, 2009. 

Also, the proposed action is necessary 

to correct a typographical error in 

Appendix C which incorrectly labels the 

parent company. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC has concluded in its safety 

evaluation of the proposed action that 

since this action is for a name change 

and error correction only that (1) there 

is a 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 amendments will not 

be inimical to the common defense and 

security or to the health and safety of 

the public. 

The details of the NRC staff’s review 

of the proposed amendment will be 

provided in the Safety Evaluation 

document supporting the license 

amendment. 

The proposed action will not 

significantly increase the probability or 

consequences of accidents. No changes 

are being made in the types of effluents 

that may be released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in the amount of 

any effluent released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in individual or 

cumulative occupational radiation 

exposure. Therefore, there are no 

significant radiological environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not have a potential to affect 

any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no 

other environmental impact. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the application 

would result in no change in current 

environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the alternative action are 

similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Environmental Statement for Point 

Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, 

dated May 1972 and in NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 23, ‘‘Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement for License Renewal 

of Nuclear Plants [regarding Point Beach 

Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2],’’ dated 

August 2005. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on October 22, 2009, and April 14, 2010, 

the staff consulted with the Wisconsin 

State official, Jeff Kitsembel, regarding 

the environmental impact of the 

proposed action. The State official had 

no comment. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated April 17, 2009, as supplemented 

by letter dated January 19, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, NRC (or the 

Commission) is providing notice, in the 

matter of Turkey Point Nuclear Plant 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation (ISFSI) Order Modifying 

License (Effective Immediately). 

II. Further Information 

I 

NRC has issued a general license to 

Florida Power and Light Company 

(FPL), authorizing the operation of an 

ISFSI, in accordance with the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Part 72. This 

Order is being issued to FPL because it 

has identified near-term plans to store 

spent fuel in an ISFSI under the general 

license provisions of 10 CFR Part 72. 

The Commission’s regulations at 10 CFR 

72.212(b)(5), 10 CFR 50.54(p)(1), and 10 

CFR 73.55(c)(5) require licensees to 

maintain safeguards contingency plan 

procedures to respond to threats of 

radiological sabotage and to protect the 

spent fuel against the threat of 

radiological sabotage, in accordance 

with 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix C. 

Specific physical security requirements 

are contained in 10 CFR 73.51 or 73.55, 

as applicable. 

Inasmuch as an insider has an 

opportunity equal to, or greater than, 

any other person, to commit radiological 

sabotage, the Commission has 

determined these measures to be 

prudent. Comparable Orders have been 

issued to all licensees that currently 

store spent fuel or have identified nearterm plans to store spent fuel in an 

ISFSI. 

II 

On September 11, 2001, terrorists 

simultaneously attacked targets in New 

York, NY, and Washington, DC, using 

large commercial aircraft as weapons. In 

response to the attacks and intelligence 

information subsequently obtained, the 

Commission issued a number of 

Safeguards and Threat Advisories to its 

licensees, to strengthen licensees’ 

capabilities and readiness to respond to 

a potential attack on a nuclear facility. 

On October 16, 2002, the Commission 

issued Orders to the licensees of 

operating ISFSIs, to place the actions 

taken in response to the Advisories into 

the established regulatory framework 

and to implement additional security 

enhancements that emerged from NRC’s 

ongoing comprehensive review. The 

Commission has also communicated 

with other Federal, State, and local 

government agencies and industry 

representatives to discuss and evaluate 

the current threat environment in order 

to assess the adequacy of security 

measures at licensed facilities. In 

addition, the Commission has 

conducted a comprehensive review of 

its safeguards and security programs 

and requirements. 

As a result of its consideration of 

current safeguards and security 

requirements, as well as a review of 

information provided by the intelligence 

community, the Commission has 

determined that certain additional 

security measures (ASMs) are required 

to address the current threat 

environment, in a consistent manner 

throughout the nuclear ISFSI 

community. Therefore, the Commission 

is imposing requirements, as set forth in 

Attachments 1 and 2 of this Order, on 

all licensees of these facilities. These 

requirements, which supplement 

existing regulatory requirements, will 

provide the Commission with 

reasonable assurance that the public 

health and safety, the environment, and 

common defense and security continue 

to be adequately protected in the current 

threat environment. These requirements 

will remain in effect until the 

Commission determines otherwise. 

The Commission recognizes that 

licensees may have already initiated 

many of the measures set forth in 

Attachments 1 and 2 to this Order, in 

response to previously issued 

advisories, or on their own. It also 

recognizes that some measures may not 

be possible or necessary at some sites, 

or may need to be tailored to 

accommodate the specific 

circumstances existing at FPL’s facility, 

to achieve the intended objectives and 

avoid any unforeseen effect on the safe 

storage of spent fuel. 

Although the ASMs implemented by 

licensees in response to the Safeguards 

and Threat Advisories have been 

sufficient to provide reasonable 

assurance of adequate protection of 

public health and safety, in light of the 

continuing threat environment, the 

Commission concludes that these 

actions must be embodied in an Order, 

consistent with the established 

regulatory framework. 

To provide assurance that licensees 

are implementing prudent measures to 

achieve a consistent level of protection 

to address the current threat 

environment, licenses issued pursuant 

to 10 CFR 72.210 shall be modified to 

include the requirements identified in 

Attachments 1 and 2 to this Order. In 

addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, I 

find that, in light of the common 

defense and security circumstances 

described above, the public health, 

safety, and interest require that this 

Order be effective immediately. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 53, 

103, 104, 147, 149, 161b, 161i, 161o, 

182, and 186 of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended, and the 

Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 

2.202 and 10 CFR Parts 50, 72, and 73, 

it is hereby ordered, Effective 

Immediately, that your general license 

is modified as follows: 

A. FPL shall comply with the 

requirements described in Attachments 

1 and 2 to this Order, except to the 

extent that a more stringent requirement 

is set forth in the Turkey Point Nuclear 

Plant’s physical security plan. FPL shall 

complete implementation of the 

requirements in Attachments 1 and 2 to 

the Order no later than 365 days from 

the date of this Order or 90 days before 

the first day that spent fuel is initially
