Subject:
Request for Additional Information RE Part 26 Exemption Request By letter dated October 13, 2009, Florida Power & Light Company, requested an exemption from the 10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d) work hour control requirements when defined conditions (tropical storm force winds and other conditions) are present prior to and after the declaration of a plant emergency for Turkey Point Station Units 3 and 4. The request would have the effect of extending the applicability of the existing exemption from declared plant emergencies, 10 CFR 26.207(d).
The purpose of the request is to allow Turkey Point to sequester an appropriate number of plant personnel designated as the "storm crew" prior to the onset of hurricane force winds.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission performed a preliminary review of the exemption request and generated the below requests for additional for information (RAIs). The licensees responses to the following RAIs will allow the staff to complete its review in a timely manner.
- 1. What general criteria will the Emergency Coordinator look at to make the determination that there are enough people onsite to resume work hour controls?
- 2. Describe the Turkey Pont methodology that will be used when transitioning back to work hour controls that will ensure that individuals are not fatigued on the first day back to work.
- 3. The exemption request discusses the Turkey Point storm crew. Clarify whether the exemption is strictly for the storm crew and not for discretionary maintenance or the direction of discretionary maintenance that a risk informed evaluation has shown to be a significant to public health and safety.
- 4. Section 3 of the exemption request mentions the Turkey Point hurricane plan, hurricane staffing procedure and the severe weather procedure. Provide these procedures and any other procedures related to severe wind site preparation or recovery.
