Dear Sir:

Florida Power Corporation, doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF), proposed a License Condition for License Amendment Request (LAR) #280, Revision 0, in Reference 1. The purpose of this letter is to amend the proposed License Condition with additional compensatory measures to be implemented during the one-time extended allowed outage time for work on Nuclear Services Seawater System Emergency Pump RWP-2B. RWP-2B provides cooling water from the ultimate heat sink to the Nuclear Services Closed Cycle Cooling system heat exchangers.

This function can also be performed by the Nuclear Services Seawater Normal Duty Pump, RWP-1 or RWP-2A The genesis of the proposed License Condition is a sensitivity evaluation performed by the NRC staff using the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) risk model which indicates that during the extended allowed outage period, when RWP-2B is out of service, the risk due to fire is increased. The evaluation assumed that for zones where all three pumps capable of providing cooling to the Nuclear Services Closed Cycle Cooling system could be affected (RWP-1, RWP-2A, and RWP-2B) there was no increased risk. However, in zones where only RWP-1 and/or RWP-2A would be affected, fires would pose an increase in risk while RWP-2B is out of service. Therefore, compensatory actions are proposed for all fire zones containing circuits for RWP-1 or RWP-2A.

More extensive compensatory actions are being proposed for the risk significant zones that contain circuits for RWP-1 and RWP-2A.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 3 3F0404-1 1 The Crystal River LPEEE was submitted to the NRC in 1997 and is based on the 1993 IPE and plant configuration from the mid 1990s. Although the IPEEE has not been updated, several plant changes have been made since that time which are expected to significantly decrease the risk associated with some scenarios. These include the installation of a non-safety related motor driven auxiliary feedwater pump (FWP-7) and its dedicated diesel generator, and a third safety related diesel driven emergency feedwater pump (EFP-3). There have also been numerous improvements based on Appendix R considerations which are not reflected in the IPE results.

Attachment A contains the modified proposed License Condition. License Condition Item 7 lists more fire zones than identified previously. The reason for their inclusion is that the extensive work performed to assure Appendix R compliance assumes potential fire induced circuit damage to support equipment that was not assumed when the IPEEE model was created. Attachment B provides tables with information regarding the risk significant fire zones containing circuits for both RWP-1 and RWP-2A, additional specific compensatory measures and the specific risk factor for each zone.

Attachment C provides a list of ignition sources and their ignition frequency contribution for each of these fire zones from the CR-3 IPEEE model.

The compensatory measures proposed will enhance the already strong Fire Protection Program in place at CR-3. As a measure of the effectiveness of the CR-3 Fire Protection Program, PEF has reviewed CR-3 inspection findings since January 2000 associated with Fire Protection/Appendix R requirements.

No findings regarding detection, auto suppression, ignition sources or transient combustibles were identified.

During the refurbishment of RWP-2B, CR-3 will also establish enhanced work controls such as:

management work observations and the reinforcement of human performance tool usage at pre-job briefings in order to ensure work activities in the area are conducted safely and effectively.

The proposed License Condition supports issuance of the referenced LAR #280 and does not impact the conclusions of the no significant hazards consideration or environmental evaluation (Reference 2).

No new regulatory commitments are made in this letter.

The CR-3 Plant Nuclear Safety Committee has reviewed this request and recommended it for approval.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Sid Powell, Supervisor, Licensing and Regulatory Programs at (352) 5634883.

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50 - 302 / LICENSE NUMBER DPR - 72 ATTACHMENT A Modified Proposed License Condition

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment A 3F0404-11 Page 1 of 3 Modified Pronosed License Condition Florida Power Corporation, doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF), requests the addition of the following License Condition for Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3).

Proposed License Condition 2.C.(13):

2.C.(13) During the one-time extended allowed outage time for work on Nuclear Services Seawater System Emergency Pump RWP-2B, authorized in Improved Technical Specification (ITS) 3.7.9, CR-3 will implement the following compensatory measures:

1. No elective maintenance will be scheduled on other related risk sensitive equipment beyond that required for the refurbishment activity of RWP-2B that could degrade the risk profile of the plant. For these purposes, the systems are: Nuclear Services and Decay Heat Seawater System, Decay Heat System, Decay Heat Closed Cycle Cooling Water System, Nuclear Services Closed Cycle Cooling Water (SW),

Emergency Diesel Generators, Chilled Water, Emergency Feedwater System, Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Controls System (EFIC) Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and Makeup System.

2. Makeup Pump configurations will be selected to minimize risk.
3. Increased operator attention will be focused on loss/restoration of RW/SWI redundant train and the Appendix R Chiller. This will be accomplished by on shift operating crew review of Abnormal Procedure (AP)-330, Loss of Nuclear Service Cooling.
4. Operator attention will be focused on potential use of non-safety grade Feedwater Pump FWP-7 and its dedicated Diesel Generator (MTDG-1).

This will be accomplished by on shift operating crew review of Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP)-14, Enclosure 7, Emergency Feedwater Pump (EFWP) Management.

5. Daily operator walkdowns of the redundant train of RW/SW/Pumps and associated power supply switchgear will be conducted.
6. No elective maintenance to be scheduled in the switchyard that would challenge the availability of offsite power to the ES Buses or to the Bus for RWP-1.
