January 27, 2006 Florida Power and Light Company ATTN: Mr. J. A. Stall, Senior Vice President Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer P. O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420

SUBJECT:

TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Stall:

On March 13-17, 2006, the NRC plans to begin the baseline inservice inspection (ISI) at the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Unit 3 (NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.08). Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group identifies information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared. The second group identifies the information the inspector will need upon arrival at the site. It is important that all of these documents are up to date, and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Stavroula Mihalakea, of your organization.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector Steven J. Vias at (404) 562-4505 (sjv@nrc.gov).

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

A. Information Requested for the In-Office Preparation Week The following information should be sent to the Region II office in hard copy (or electronic format), in care of Steven J. Vias by February 22, 2006, to facilitate the selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection week. The inspector will select specific items from the information requested below and request a list of additional documents needed on-site to your staff. We request that the specific items selected from the lists be available and ready for review on the first day of inspection. All information requests relate to Unit 3 unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the inspector as soon as possible.

A.1 Information related to ISI activities [other than Steam Generator (SG) primary side tube inspections]

1) A detailed schedule of: (including schedule showing contingency repair plans if available).

a) Nondestructive examinations (NDE) planned for Class 1 & 2 systems and containment, performed as part of your ASME Code ISI Program during the scheduled inspection weeks.

b) Steam Generator (SG) secondary side inspection/activities.

2) A copy of ASME Section XI, Code Relief Requests applicable to the examinations identified in A.1.1.

3) A list of NDE reports (ultrasonic, radiography, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, visual VT-1, VT-2, and VT-3) which have identified recordable indications on Code Class 1 & 2 systems since the beginning of the last refueling outage. Also, include in the list the NDE reports with recorded indications in the vessel head penetration nozzles which have been accepted for continued service.

4) A list with a brief description of the welds in Code Class 1 and 2 systems which have been fabricated due to component repair/replacement activities since the beginning of the last refueling outage, or are planned to be fabricated this refueling outage. Please identify the system, weld number and reference applicable documentation.

5) If reactor vessel weld examinations required by the ASME Code are scheduled to occur during the upcoming outage, provide a detailed description of the welds to be examined, and the extent of the planned examination.

6) Copy of any 10 CFR Part 21 reports applicable to your structures systems or components within the scope of Section XI of the ASME Code that have been identified since the beginning of the last refueling outage.

7) A list of any temporary non-code repairs in service (e.g. pin-hole leaks).

8) Copy of the procedures which govern the scope, equipment used and implementation of the inspections required to identify boric acid leakage from systems and the procedures for boric acid leakage/corrosion evaluation.

9) Provide a status summary of the NDE inspection activities vs the required inspection period percentages for this Interval by category per ASME Section XI, IWx-2400.

10) Provide past history of the condition and issues pertaining to the secondary side of the steam generators (including items such as loose parts, fouling, top of tube sheet condition, crud removal amounts, etc.).
