§10 CFR 50.90

& 10 CFR 2.390 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 RE: Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Proposed License Amendment Reactor Trip System Technical Specifications Changes Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requests to amend Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR41 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The proposed amendments revise the Technical Specifications (TS) for several Reactor Protection System functional units as described below:

  • The value of the P-8 interlock setpoint is being changed from 45% rated thermal power (RTP) to 40% RTP. The value of the P-8 interlock allowable value is being changed from 48% RTP to 43% RTP.

Enclosure 1 provides a description of the proposed License Amendments together with thejustifications for the proposed changes. Enclosure 2 is the No Significant Hazards Considerations and Enclosure 3 provides the Environmental Consideration. FPL has determined that the proposed License Amendments do not involve a significant hazards consideration pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92. Enclosure 4 provides the marked-up copies of the proposed Technical Specification changes, and an information copy of the proposed changes to the TS Bases.

Enclosure 5 is a copy of the retyped TS pages, and an information copy of the retyped TS Bases pages. There are no new regulatory commitments associated with this request for these TS amendments.

The Turkey Point Plant Nuclear Safety Committee and the Florida Power & Light Company Nuclear Review Board have reviewed the proposed amendments. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (b)(1), a copy of the proposed amendments is being forwarded to the State Designee for the State of Florida.

The proposed license amendments associated with deleting the steam/feedwater flow mismatch coincident with steam generator water level - low reactor trip are similar to other NRC approved industry license amendments, in particular the Beaver Valley Unit 1 License Amendment No. 240, approved August 8,2001. The proposed license amendments associated with changing the reactor trip on turbine trip interlock from P-7 to P-8 are similar to other NRC approved industry license amendments, in particular the Indian Point Unit 3 License Amendment No. 192, approved September 8, 1999.
