SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 219 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-31 AND AMENDMENT NO. 213 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 May 14, 2001, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) proposed license amendments that would delete Technical Specifications (TS) Figures 5.1-1, Site Area Map; and 5.1-2, Plant Area Map; and to replace TS 5.1, Site, with a site location description.

Conforming changes would delete TS 5.1.1, Exclusion Area; TS 5.1.2, Low Population Zone; and TS 5.1.3, Map Defining Unrestricted Areas and Site Boundary for Radioactive Gaseous and Liquid Effluents; from TS 5.1 and the Index of the TS.

2.0 Evaluation The proposed changes to Turkey Point TS Section 5.0, Design Features, are administrative in nature; and they conform to Section 4.0, Design Features, of NUREG-1431, Revision 1, Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) for Westinghouse Plants and the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.36,"Technical Specifications. The ISTS does not include plant or site maps. Additionally, the ISTS differs from the Turkey Point TS in that it only provides a site location description in ISTS, Section 4.1 of Section 4.0, Design Features. The proposed changes will provide a site location description, and eliminate the Site and Plant Area maps and their conforming sections from the Turkey Point TS. In addition, the inclusion of site and plant area maps are not requirements of 10 CFR Section 50.36(c)(4), Design Features of TS.

The Site Area and the Plant Area maps are located elsewhere in other controlled documents at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The Site Area Map is located in Section 2.2 of the Turkey Point Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). The Plant Area Map is located in Section 1.0 of the Turkey Point Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Changes to the UFSAR are governed by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments; and changes to the ODCM are governed by the requirements of TS 6.8.4.f, Radioactive Effluent Controls Program.

Enclosure 3

The proposed changes consist of adding a site location description and deleting sections and maps from the TS, which are already located in other Turkey Point documents. No physical modifications to the facility are required to implement these proposed amendments, thus this change would have no effect on the materials of construction or geometric arrangements of features of the facility. The information being removed is not required to be in the TS, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36. All safety limits, limiting safety system settings, limiting control settings, limiting conditions of operation, and surveillance requirements as described in paragraphs (c) (1), (2), and (3) of 10 CFR 50.36 are not affected by the proposed changes, and will continue to be addressed by the Turkey Point TS.

The proposed changes have no affect on the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because they do not affect assumptions contained in plant safety analyses, the physical design, or operation of the facility. They also do not affect TS that preserve safety analysis assumptions. No new failure mode is introduced due to the administrative changes since the changes do not involve the addition or modification of equipment and do not alter the design or operation of affected plant systems, structures, or components. The elimination of site and plant area maps from TS has no affect on the margin of safety as they are located in other controlled plant documents.

Based on the above discussion, the staff finds that the proposed changes do not present an undue risk to public health and safety, and, therefore, are 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 34284, dated June 27, 2001). Accordingly, these 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.

6.0 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.
