1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated September 5, 2007, as supplemented by letter dated September 8, 2008, Florida Power & Light (licensee) requested U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of changes to the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment removes the notes associated with Turkey Point Unit 4 License Amendment No. 221 regarding the inoperability of the Unit 4 Rod Position Indication (RPI) system for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B and the notes associated with Turkey Point Unit 3 Amendment No. 230 regarding the inoperability of the Unit 3 RPI system for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C. The supplemental letter provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staffs original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register.

On August 20, 2004, the NRC issued License Amendment 221 for Turkey Point Unit 4 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating," TS 3/4.1.3.5," Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B until the end of Cycle 21. The RPI system for control rod F-8 was repaired during the Unit 4 Cycle 22 refueling outage in Spring 2005; thus the associated TS License Amendment 221 revisions are no longer required.

On October 5, 2006, the NRC issued License Amendment 230 for Turkey Point Unit 3 which modified TS 3/4.1.3.1, "Movable Control Assemblies," TS 3/4.1.3.2, "Position Indication Systems-Operating," TS 3/4.1.3.6," Control Rod Insertion Limits," to allow the use of an alternate method of determining rod position for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C until the end of Cycle 22. The RPI system for control rod M-6 was repaired in June 2007; thus the associated TS License Amendment 230 revisions are no longer required.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act requires applicants for nuclear power plant operating licenses to include TSs as part of the license. The licensee provides TSs in order to maintain the operational capability of structures, systems and components that are required to protect the health and safety of the public. The Commission=s regulatory requirements related to the content of the TS are contained in 10 CFR 50.36. The TS requirements will include the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.

General Design Criterion (GDC) 13 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that instrumentation and appropriate controls be provided to monitor and maintain the variables and systems within their prescribed operating ranges during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and accident conditions as appropriate to assure adequate safety, including those variables and systems that can affect the fission process, the integrity of the reactor core, the reactor coolant pressure boundary, and the containment and its associated systems.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The analog rod position indication (ARPI) system functions to monitor control rod position and, thereby, ensures control rod alignment and insertion limits are maintained. This is necessary to achieve the purpose of the rod control system, which is to ensure that acceptable power distributions as well as minimum shutdown margins (SDM) are met, and that the potential effects of a rod misalignment on associated accidents are limited.

The TSs for the ARPI system provide LCOs and SRs to ensure system operability, as required by 10 CFR 50.36. Further, TSs 3.1.3.1, 3.1.3.2, 3.1.3.5, and 3.1.3.6, respectively, require the shutdown and control rods to be operable and within the alignment limits, the ARPI and the Demand Position Indication systems to be operable, the shutdown rods to be fully withdrawn, and the control bands to be within the power-dependent Rod Bank Insertion Limits defined in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) during Modes 1 and 2 operation and, therefore, comply with GDC 13.

With the ARPI for a control rod inoperable, LCO 3.1.3.2 Action a(1) requires the position of the rod to be determined indirectly by the movable incore detectors at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after any rod motion that exceeds 24 steps in one direction.

During Cycle 21 for Unit 4 and Cycle 22 for Unit 3, an ARPI became inoperable for an extended period and compliance with the TSs would have required excessive use of the movable incore detector system to monitor rod position. The NRC granted amendments that allowed an alternate method of determining rod position until the ARPI could be repaired, but no later than the subsequent refueling outage. The alternate method and its time limit were contained in footnotes that were added to the applicable TSs. Since the ARPIs were subsequently repaired and the applicable time periods have elapsed, the licensee proposes to delete these footnotes.

This is effectively an administrative change, since the alternate method was a temporary addition to the existing TSs, and deleting it does not affect the ability of the TSs to satisfy

regulatory requirements and ensure system operability. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed change acceptable.

The NRC staff notes that in the intervening period between the request and approval of this amendment, the staff approved Amendments 237 and 232 to the subject licenses, which provided, on a permanent basis, wording that fulfilled the intent of the text that this amendment removes. Therefore, the notes are not only unnecessary, but also redundant.

The specific changes to the Unit 3 and Unit 4 TSs are as follows:

Unit 4 Technical Specification Changes The proposed Unit 4 Technical Specification changes, regarding the removal of the notes for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B, are summarized below.

For TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.1.3.1, Movable Control Assemblies, delete the indications for the note "**" and the following note is removed:

The NRC staff finds that these proposed changes effectively delete the unnecessary footnotes and are acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

Based upon a letter dated May 2, 2003, from Michael N. Stephens of the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Control, to Brenda L. Mozafari, Senior Project Manager, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the State of Florida does not desire notification of issuance of license amendments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements. The Commission has made a final no significant hazards finding with respect to this amendment. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative

occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration published in the Federal Register on July 29, 2008, (73 FR 43956). A request for a hearing was filed on August 18, 2008, by Thomas Saporito, President of Saporito Energy Consultants.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) the amendment does not: (a) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or, (b) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated; or, (c) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety and therefore, the amendment 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, (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (4) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
