C. 20555 RE: Turkey Point Unit 4 Docket No. 50-251 Proposed License Amendment Inoperable Rod Position Indication Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted the Proposed License Amendment for an Inoperable Rod Position Indication via letter L-2002-152, dated July 29, 2002. Per telephone conference on August 15, 2002, the Staff requested FPL to revise the proposed Technical Specification changes by specifying the proposed alternate monitoring method to determine rod position to be used in place of the analog Rod Position Indication System for rod C-9 in Shutdown Bank A. Attachments 1 and 2 provide the revised mark-up and a clean copy of the proposed revisions to the Technical Specifications (TS).

This letter and its attachments supplement our letter L-2002-152, providing clarification by making minor revisions to the proposed TS changes. This letter does not propose any change in scope, or intent from those submitted in L-2002-152. FPL has determined that the proposed revisions to the TS provided herein do not change the conclusions reached in the original no significant hazards consideration determination, or the original environmental impact consideration determination, provided in L-2002-152.

Please contact Walter Parker, Licensing Manager, at (305) 246-6632, if there are any questions.
