In Reference 1, as supplemented by Reference 2, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested amendments to Subsequent Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (SRFOL) Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point), respectively. The requested amendments sought Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) approval to replace the Turkey Point Reactor Protection System (RPS), Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS), and Nuclear Instrumentation System (NIS) with digital systems based on the Framatome Tricon Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Version 10 digital platform, and conforming changes to the Technical Specifications (TS).

In Reference 3, FPL requested temporary suspension of the amendment request.

FPL continues to evaluate the replacement project but has decided not to proceed with it at this time.

Accordingly, FPL hereby requests withdrawal of the Reference 1 application. Should FPL decide to resume this effort, FPL will notify the NRG and submit a new amendment request.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Kenneth Mack, Senior Manager, Licensing and Regulatory Compliance at 561-904-3635.
