FPL L-2022-038 Page 1 of 1 May 17, 2022 L-2022-038 10 CFR 50 Appendix E U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Re:
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Emergency Response Data System (EROS) Changes Pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, VI, 3.a, "Maintaining the Emergency Response Data System," this letter notifies the NRC of addition of data points to the Emergency Response Data System (EROS) Data Point Library Reference File for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 share a common plant vent exhaust stack. A modification to replace RAD-6304, High Range Plant Vent Radiation Monitor, and R-14, Low Range Plant Vent Radiation Monitor, with redundant, dual-range monitors RAD-6304A and 6304B has been completed. The modification also replaced flow transmitter FT-6584 with redundant flow transmitters FT-6584A and FT-6584B. The modification was implemented in two phases, one for each equipment train. of this letter summarizes the EROS point changes. Table 3 lists the new EROS points. Pages 3-14 of Attachment 1 depict the full list of new Unit 3 and Unit 4 EROS Data Point Library Points.
10 CFR 50, Appendix E, VI, 3.a, requires NRC notification within 30 days after the changes are completed. The first implementation phase for RAD-6304A and FT-6584A was completed, and NRC notified, in May 2021. This letter serves to notify the NRC of completion of Phase 2 for RAD-6304B and FT-6584B.
Please contact Ms. Cynthia Cashwell, Turkey Point Regulatory Affairs Manager, at 305-246-1631 or Cynthia.Cashwell@fpl.com with any questions.

A Mirion NGM216S unit provides the plant vent low range gas activity. The NGM216 detector is a beta scintillation detector with a 12µm thick titanium foil facing a 1000cc volume vessel in a protective lead shielding. The sensitivity of the detector is 1E-7
µCi/cc to 1E-1 µCi/cc. The Alert and High setpoints can be adjusted based on the release permit for the Gas Decay Tank. The gas tank discharge valve is automatically closed upon actuation of the High setpoint of the selected NGM216 (P6304LR_A or B6304LR_A). Upon reaching the High-High Alarm setpoint monitoring of the plant stack is transferred to the NGM203S (P6304HR_A).

Plant vent flow is provided by transmitters FT-6584A (P6304FLO_A) and FT-6584B (B6304FLO_A) which independently measure the differential pressure across a single flow orifice installed in the plant vent stack. The signals are transmitted to the plant DCS where based on operator selection, the signal from FT-6584A or FT-6584B is then routed back to the NGM216S and NMG203S radiation monitors. The selected signal is then used by the NGM216S and NMG203S monitors to establish the monitors target sample flow rates.
