Subject:
License Amendment Request No. 231, Application to Revise Ultimate Heat Sink Temperature Limit - Request for Emergency Approval
Reference:
Florida Power & Light Company Letter L-2014-216, "License Amendment Request No. 231, Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Revise Ultimate Heat Sink Temperature Limit," dated July 10, 2014 In the referenced letter, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (Turkey Point), Units 3 and 4 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.91(a)(5). This letter clarifies that the referenced application was not requested to be processed in accordance with the emergency provisions of 10 CFR 50.91(a)(5) at the time of submission. The cited reference to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(5) was an administrative oversight. At this time, however, FPL requests the referenced application be approved on an emergency basis.
The proposed amendment would revise the ultimate heat sink (UHS) water temperature limit from 100°F to 104'F (less instrument uncertainty). The cooling canal system (CCS) temperature has been recently trending higher than historical averages in part due to unseasonably dry weather and has approached the current 100°F limit on a few occasions. While this request is not related to the safe operation of the plant, FPL requests a timely review of this application to avoid exceeding the current limit which would necessitate a dual unit shutdown which would impact grid reliability.
The enclosure to this letter contains information for considering the referenced application pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(5). The enclosed information does not alter the determination of no significant hazards and the environmental considerations contained in the application.

Florida Power & Light Company L-2014-226 Enclosure Page 1 of 2 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Basis for Emergency Concerning License Amendment Request No. 231 Application to Revise Ultimate Heat Sink Temperature Limit
1.0 Background
An algae bloom in the Turkey Point cooling canal system (CCS) has reached a level of cell concentration that is reducing cooling efficiency. Along with reduced water levels due to lower than normal rainfall, the CCS is experiencing cell concentrations of algae higher than previously observed, as well as, occurring earlier in the year than previous blooms.
Turkey Point Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.7.4 Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) limits CCS (Ultimate Heat Sink) temperature to less than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). CCS temperature has recently approached the limit (e.g. 99.612 'F on 6/25/14 and 99.713 'F on 6/29/14, as recorded in Plant Data System). Algae presence has the potential to increase solar radiation and thermal stratification of the CCS, which likely contributes to an increase in CCS temperature.
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has undertaken a comprehensive study to determine the cause of the algae bloom and CCS water changes, and to determine actions to avoid this condition.
Among the recommended actions taken, FPL has initiated a biocide treatment plan in order to reduce the algae and restore the heat transfer characteristics of the CCS water (Reference 2). This treatment plan has received approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and is following a well-established protocol.
In addition, analyses were conducted to determine if the TS 3/4.7.4 temperature limit could be increased without adversely impacting safety or adjacent habitat, and as a result of the findings, a license amendment application was submitted to increase the limit to 104'F (Reference 1).
2.0 Impact of Exceeding the 100F TS Limit If the limit of l00F in TS LCO 3/4.7.4 is exceeded, the current TS requires both units to be placed in at least HOT STANDBY within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and COLD SHUTDOWN within the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
Loss of load and voltage control from the Turkey Point nuclear units during periods of high summer demand would result in impacts to grid reliability.
3.0 Reason the Emergency Cannot be Avoided The current condition of the Turkey Point CCS is a new condition that has not been experienced before. FPL has taken prompt, preventative action to address the CCS water condition as discussed above in Section 1.0, including the analyses to support increasing the ultimate heat sink temperature limit.. Furthermore, strong electric demand due to high summer temperatures and humidity are forecasted to continue. For these reasons, FPL requests the NRC staff to consider the reference application on an emergency basis.
