Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6), Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) requests approval of changes to the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41, respectively, by incorporating the attached Technical Specification (TS) revisions. The proposed Technical Specification License Amendment Request (LAR) removes the Turkey Point Unit 4 License Amendment No. 221 associated notes regarding the inoperability of the Unit 4 Rod Position Indication (RPI) system for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B. In addition, the proposed LAR removes the Turkey Point Unit 3 Amendment No. 230 associated notes regarding the inoperability of the Unit 3 RPI system for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C.

On August 20, 2004, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued License Amendment 221 for Turkey Point Unit 4 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating ," TS 3/4.1.3.5," Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B until the end of Cycle 21. The RPI system for control rod F-8 was repaired during the Unit 4 Cycle 22 refueling outage in Spring 2005; thus the associated TS License Amendment 221 revisions are no longer required.

On October 5, 2006, the NRC issued License Amendment 230 for Turkey Point Unit 3 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating,"

TS 3/4.1.3.6," Control Rod Insertion Limits," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C until the end of Cycle 22. The RPI system for control rod M-6 was repaired in June 2007; thus the associated TS License Amendment 230 revisions are no longer required. is the evaluation of the proposed changes.

The revision was requested due to an inoperable control Rod Position Indication (RPI) associated with control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B.

On August 20, 2004, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued License Amendment No. 221 for Turkey Point Unit 4 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating ," TS 3/4.1.3.5," Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod F-8 until the end of Cycle 21. The RPI system for control rod F-8 was repaired during the Unit 4 Cycle 22 refueling outage in Spring 2005; thus the associated TS revisions are no longer required.

By letter dated September 8, 2006, FPL requested exigent approval of changes to the TSs for Turkey Point Unit 3. The revision was requested due to an inoperable control RPI associated with control rod M-6 in Control Bank C.

On October 5, 2006, the NRC issued License Amendment 230 for Turkey Point Unit 3 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating ,"

TS 3/4.1.3.6," Control Rod Insertion Limits," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C until the end of Cycle 22. The RPI system for control rod M-6 was repaired in June 2007; thus the associated TS License Amendment 230 revisions are no longer required.

JUSTIFICATION FOR PROPOSED TS CHANGES Turkey Point Unit 4 License Amendment 221, issued August 20, 2004, approved the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B. TS LCO and Surveillance Requirement sections 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating ," 3/4.1.3.5 "Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit," were revised and remained in effect until the end of Cycle 21. Rod position indication repairs for control rod F-8 were performed during the Turkey Point Unit 4 Cycle 22 refueling outage in Spring 2005, thus the associated TS License Amendment No. 221 revisions are no longer necessary.

Turkey Point Unit 3 License Amendment 230, issued October 5, 2006, approved the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C. TS LCO and Surveillance Requirement sections 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating ," 3/4.1.3.6," Control Rod Insertion Limits," were revised and were to remain in effect until the end of Cycle 22. Rod position indication repairs for control rod M-6 were performed in June 2007; thus the associated TS License Amendment 230 revisions are no longer necessary.

ATTACHMENT 2 TO L-2007-131 DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION

L-2007-131 Attachment 2 Page 1 of 2 DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION The Commission has provided standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists as stated in 10 CFR 50.92. A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with a proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Florida Power and Light Ccmpany (FPL) has concluded that the proposed amendments to the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 operating licenses do not involve a significant hazards consideration. In support of this determination, an evaluation of each of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92 is provided below.

1. Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

No. The proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because the proposed amendments are purely administrative in nature. The proposed amendments do not make substantive changes to the Technical Specifications and do not affect any assumptions contained in plant safety analyses, the physical design and/or operation of the plant; and they do not affect the Technical Specifications that preserve safety analysis assumptions.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not affect the probability or consequences of accidents previously analyzed.

2. Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

No. The proposed administrative changes to the Technical Specifications do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated, since the proposed amendments will not change the physical plant or the modes of plant operation defined in the facility operating licenses. No new failure mode is introduced due to the proposed administrative changes, since the proposed changes do not involve the addition or modification of equipment, nor do they alter the design or operation of affected plant systems, structures, or components.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

L-2007-131 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 2 No. The operating limits and functional capabilities of the affected systems, structures, and components are unchanged by the proposed amendment. The changed Technical Specifications remove notes which are no longer in effect and do not reduce any of the margins of safety.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Based on the reasoning presented above, FPL has determined that the requested changes involve no significant hazards consideration.

Environmental Consideration The proposed license amendments are administrative in nature and do not affect the physical aspect or operation of components or structures within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The proposed amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts and no significant increase in the types of any effluents that may be released off site, and no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. FPL has concluded that the proposed amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and therefore, meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Hence, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need not be prepared in connection with issuance of the amendments.

Conclusion FPL concludes, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) there is 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 detrimental to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
