ENCLOSURE 3 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 220 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-31 AND AMENDMENT NO. 214 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-41 FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY TURKEY POINT UNIT NOS. 3 AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-250 AND 50-251
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 18, 2001, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL or the licensee) proposed a revision to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4. The proposed amendments would change the title of the corporate executive responsible for overall nuclear plant safety from President-Nuclear Division to Chief Nuclear Officer, in Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 TS, Section 6.0, Administrative Controls.
2.0 BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2001, FPL appointed a Senior Vice President in charge of all nuclear operations.
The Senior Vice President is an officer of FPL, reports to the President and Chief Executive Officer of FPL Group, and has corporate responsibility for overall nuclear plant safety.
Consistent with the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
Section 50.54(a)(3), the licensee changed its Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQAR) to replace President-Nuclear Division with the generic organizational position title of Chief Nuclear Officer.
Previously, the corporate executive responsible for overall plant nuclear safety was designated as President-Nuclear Division, which is the title currently used in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 TS, Section 6.0. The proposed change eliminates the specific reference to the organizational title, President-Nuclear Division, and replaces it with the generic organizational position title of Chief Nuclear Officer. The Senior Vice President in charge of all nuclear operations will meet all the requirements of the title of Chief Nuclear Officer as delineated in the Turkey Point Unit 3 and 4 TS, Section 6.0, and the TQAR.
Use of the generic organizational position title of Chief Nuclear Officer will preclude the need for future amendments to the TS, if the title of the corporate executive responsible for overall plant nuclear safety were to be changed again.
3.0 EVALUATION The licensees request involves only a change in the title of the corporate executive responsible for overall plant nuclear safety of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The proposed changes to the TS are administrative in nature and result in no changes in responsibilities or accountabilities delineated in TS Section 6 and the TQAR. The proposed amendment will not require a design change or modification, additions, deletions to the physical plant or the modes of plant operations defined in the facilities operating licenses. Therefore, the TS revision is acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
Based upon a letter dated March 8, 1991, from Mary E. Clark of the State of Florida, Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, to Deborah A. Miller, Licensing Assistant, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the State of Florida does not desire notification of issuance of license amendments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
These amendments relate to changes in record keeping, administrative procedures or requirements. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (66 FR 41622, dated August 8, 2001). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
5.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, 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 inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
