These amendments incorporate into the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating, Units 3 1 4 Technical Specifications changes to the reporting requirements.

Changes to your proposal were necessary to meet our requirements. These have been discussed with your staff. The Technical Specifications are based on Regulatory Guide 1.16, "Reporting of Operating Information Appendix A Technical Specifications", Revision We request that you use the formats presented in the Appendices to Regulatory Guide 1.16, Revision 4, for reporting operating informiation and that you report events of the type described under the section "Events of Potential Public Interest". Instructions for using these reporting formats are contained in Regulatory Guide 1.16 (a copy is enclosed for your use), and AEC report 001-SS-001 titled "Instructions or Preparation of D)ata Bntry Sheets for Licensee Event Report (LER)

File" of which you were previously provided a copy. This report is iodified by umiated instructions dated August 21, 1975 which are enclosed.

2. If levels of radioactive materials in environmental media indicate the likelihood of public intakes in excess of 3% of those that could result from continuous exposure to the concentration values listed in Appendix B, Table II, Part 20, estimates of the likely resultant exposure to individuals and to population groups, and assumptions upon which estimates are based shall be provided.
3. If statistically significant variations of off-site environmental concentrations with time are observed, correlation of these results with effluent releases shall be provided.

SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUJCLEAR REtTOR REGULATION SULPPORTING AMENDIENT NO. 13 TO FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR-31, AND AMENDMENT NO. 12 TO LICENSE NO. DPR-41 .

CHANGE NO. 25 TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FLORIDA POKER AND LIGHT COMPAXY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS 3 AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-250 AND 50-251 Introduction By letter dated December 20, 1974, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) proposed changes to the Technical Specifications appended to Facility Operating Licenses No. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4. The proposed chanpes involve changes to the reporting requirements.

Discussion The proposed changes would be administrative in nature and would affect the conduct of operation. The proposed changes are intended to provide uniform license requirements. Areas covered by the proposed uniform specifications include reporting requirements and an abnormal occurrence definition change.

In Section 208 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 "abnormal occurrences" is defined as an unscheduled incident or event which the Commission determines is significant from the standpoint of public health or safety. The term "abnormal occurrence" is reserved for usage by NRC. Regulatory Guide 1.16, "Reporting of Operating Information Appendix A Technical Specifications", Revision 4, enumerates required reports consistent with Section 208. The proposed change to required reports identifies the reports required of all licensees not already identified by the regulations and those unique to this facility. The proposal would formalize present reporting and would delete any reports no longer needed for assessment of safety related activities.

2 Evaluation The new guidance for reporting operating information does not identify any event as an "abnormal occurrence". The proposed reporting require ments also delete reporting of information no longer required and duplica tion of reported information. The standardization of required reports and desired format for the information will permit more rapid recognition of potential problems.

During our review of the proposed changes, we found that certain modifi cations to the proposal were necessary to have conformance with the desired regulatory position. These changes were discussed with your staff and have been incorporated into the proposal.

We have concluded that the proposal as modified improves the licensee's program for evaluating plant performance and the reporting of the operating information needed by the Commission to assess safety related activities and is acceptable. The modified reporting program is consi~stent with the guidance provided by Regulatory Guide 1.16, "Reporting of Operating Information - Appendix A Technical Specifications",

Revision 4. The administrative controls are consistent with requirements being incorporated in Technical Specifications for new licensed facilities.

Conclusion We have'-concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:

(1) because the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in a.safety margin, the change does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
