1.0 Purpose and Scope
Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) proposes to revise the Turkey Point (PTN)
Units 3 and 4 licensing basis by amending Appendix A of Renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 to incorporate the enclosed Technical Specification (TS) revisions. The proposed TS changes relocate selected figures and technical values from the TS to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).
2.0 Background Information FPL proposes changes to the PTN TS by implementing the guidance of NRC Generic Letter (GL) 88-16 "Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits from Technical Specifications" (Reference 1). Generic Letter 88-16, issued in October 1988, provided guidance for and "encouraged" licensees to pursue an alternative method to the practice of specifying cycle-specific parameter limits in TS. The GL 88-16 alternative method eliminates the necessity for the preparation and review of license amendments each refueling for the sole purpose of updating cycle-specific parameter limits. GL 88-16 specified that the alternative of including the values of cycle-specific parameter limits in the COLR rather than in the individual TSs consists of the following three actions:
- 1) The addition of the definition of a named formal report that includes the values of cycle-specific parameter limits that have been established using an NRC-approved methodology and consistent with all applicable limits of the safety
- analysis,
- 2) The addition of an administrative reporting requirement to submit the formal report on cycle-specific parameter limits to the Commission for information, and
- 3) The modification of individual TS to note that cycle-specific parameters shall be maintained within the limits provided in the defined formal report.
The above three actions specified in GL 88-16 are complied with by FPL in the proposed TS changes. A description of the proposed TS changes is provided below.
3.0 Description of Proposed Changes This License Amendment Request (LAR) proposes changes to the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (PTN) Unit 3 and 4 TS to relocate selected figures and technical limits from the TS to the COLR and for Reactor Core Safety Limits, a figure that is relocated to the COLR is replaced with fuel departure-from-nucleate-boiling (DNB) correlation design basis limit and peak fuel centerline temperature design basis limit. These proposed relocations affect the following TS sections:
- 1. TS 2.1.1, "Safety Limits," relocation of Figure 2.1-1, "Reactor Core Safety Limit
- Three Loops in Operation," to the COLR is enabled by the insertion of fuel departure-from-nucleate-boiling (DNB) correlation design basis limit and peak fuel centerline temperature design basis limit in the TS;
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 4 of 20
- 2. TS 2.2.1, "Limiting Safety System Settings," relocation of the overtemperature AT (OTAT) and overpower AT (OPAT) T' and T" nominal Tavg at Rated Thermal Power values, P' nominal Reactor Coolant System pressure value, K constant values, dynamic compensation tau (T) values, and the breakpoint and slope values for the f(Al) penalty function(s) in TS Table 2.2-1 to the COLR;
- 3. TS 3/4.1.1.1, "Boration Control Shutdown Margin - Tavg Greater Than 200'F,"
relocation of Figure 3.1-1, "Required Shutdown Margin vs. Reactor Coolant Boron Concentration," to the COLR;
- 4. TS 3/4.1.1.2, "Boration Control Shutdown Margin - Tavg Less Than or Equal To 2000F," relocation of shutdown margin limit to the COLR.
- 5. TS 3/4.1.1.3, "Moderator Temperature Coefficient," relocation of the Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits to the COLR;
- 6. TS 3.2.5, "DNB Parameters," relocation of Reactor Coolant System Tavg and Pressurizer Pressure limits to the COLR; and
- 7. TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report," is revised to reflect the above changes.
The proposed changes are either based on:
- 1. NRC Generic Letter 88-16, "Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits from Technical Specifications," October 3, 1988 (Reference 1);
- 2. The NRC staff s acceptance of WCAP-14483-A, "Generic Methodology for Expanded Core Operating Limits Report;" January 1999 (Reference 2) and/or
- 3. Standard Technical Specifications (STS) - Westinghouse Plants, NUREG-143 1, Revision 3.1 (Reference 3)
Relocation of cycle-specific parameters from the TS to the COLR (a licensee-controlled document subject to the requirements of TS 6.9.1.7 and the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59) would afford FPL the flexibility to revise cycle-specific parameters, in accordance with NRC approved methodologies, without the need for license amendment submittals.
Specifically, TS 6.9.1.7 requires copies of the COLR to be submitted to the NRC for each reload cycle, including any mid-cycle revisions or supplements to the NRC, unless otherwise approved by the Commission. Thus resources, both FPL and NRC, would be saved by minimizing and or/eliminating repetitive LAR submittals associated with revising cycle-specific parameters.
A specific description and justification for each change is provided in Section 3.1 below.
In addition, TS mark-ups are provided in Attachment 1 of this document.
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 5 of 20 3.1 Technical Specification, 2.1 Safety Limits, Reactor Core Current TS 2.1.1 The combination of THERMAL POWER, pressurizer pressure, and the highest operating loop coolant temperature (Tavg) shall not exceed the limits shown in Figure 2.1-1, for 3 loop operation.
Figure 2.1-1 Reactor Core Safety Limit - Three Loops in Operation (Tavg vs Fraction of Nominal Power at 2455, 2400, 2250, 2000, and 1805 psia).
Proposed TS 2.1.1 The combination of THERMAL POWER, pressurizer pressure, and the highest operating loop coolant temperature (Tavg) shall not exceed the limits specified in the COLR, for 3 loop operation; and the following Safety Limits shall not be exceeded:
- a. The departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) shall be maintained > 1.17 for the WRB-1 DNB correlation.
- b. The peak fuel centerline temperature shall be maintained < 5080 0F, decreasing by 58 0F per 10,000 MWD/MTU of burnup.
Figure 2.1-1 is being relocated from Technical Specifications to COLR.
Basis for the Change:
Relocating Figure 2.1-1, "Reactor Core Safety Limit - Three Loops in Operation," to the COLR and replacing it with the fuel departure-from-nucleate-boiling (DNB) correlation design basis limit and the peak fuel centerline temperature design basis limit is consistent with the NRC Safety Evaluation for expanding the COLR as described in WCAP-14483-A (Reference 2). This relocated cycle-specific parameter is determined by the use of WCAP-9272-P-A, "Westinghouse Reload Safety Evaluation Methodology," July 1985 (Reference 4), which is listed in the PTN TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report."
The proposed revision of this TS is also consistent with the STS (Reference 3).
Relocating the Reactor Core Safety Limit figure to the COLR and replacing it with the DNB correlation design basis limit and the peak fuel centerline temperature design basis limit will provide operating flexibility and avoid the need for frequent revision of the TS.

Note 1 values (Ks, -cs, T', P' and the breakpoint and slope values for the fl(Al) function) are being relocated to the COLR. This relocation is consistent with the NRC Safety Evaluation for WCAP-14483-A (Reference 2). These relocated cycle-specific parameters are determined by the use of WCAP-8745-P-A, "Design Basis for the Thermal Overpower AT and Thermal Overtemperature AT Trip Functions," September 1986 (Reference 5) and WCAP-9272-P-A (Reference 4). The first WCAP will be listed in PTN TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report" as part of this LAR. The second WCAP is already listed in the same PTN TS section. Relocation of this information to the COLR is also consistent with the STS (Reference 3).
Moving the Overtemperature AT parameters to the COLR will provide operating flexibility and avoid the need for frequent revision of the TS.

Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 9 of 20 Basis for the Change:
For this specification, Figure 3.1-1, "Required Shutdown Margin vs Reactor Coolant Boron Concentration" is relocated to the COLR. This change is consistent with the guidance provided in the STS (Reference 3) for relocating shutdown limits to the COLR.
This relocated cycle-specific parameter is determined by the use of WCAP-9272-P-A (Reference 4) which is listed in the PTN TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report."
The reference to this figure in LCO 3.1.1.1, associated ACTION, and SR 4.1.1.1.1 are also revised to be consistent with the relocation of this figure to the COLR.
Relocating the shutdown margin limit figure to the COLR will provide operating flexibility and avoid the need for frequent revision of the TS.

SR 4.1.1.2: The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be determined to be within the limit specified in the COLR.
Basis for the Change:
The shutdown margin limit specified in the LCO 3.1.1.2 is relocated to the COLR. This change is consistent with the guidance provided in the STS (Reference 3) for relocating the shutdown margin limit to the COLR. This relocated cycle-specific parameter is determined by the use of WCAP-9272-P-A (Reference 4) which is listed in the PTN TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report." Reference to this shutdown margin limit in the
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 10 of 20 associated LCO, ACTION and SR 4.1.1.2 are also revised to be consistent with the relocation of the shutdown margin limit to the COLR.
Relocating the shutdown margin limit figure to the COLR will provide operating flexibility and avoid the need for frequent revision of the TS.
3.6 Technical Specification 3/4.1.1.3, Moderator Temperature Coefficient Current TS LCO 3.1.1.3: The moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) shall be:
- a. Less positive than or equal to 5.0 x 10-5 Ak/k/0 F for all rods withdrawn, beginning of the cycle life (BOL), hot zero THERMAL POWER (HZP) conditions; and

SR 4.1.1.3: The MTC shall be determined to be within its limits during each fuel cycle as follows:
- a. The MTC shall be measured and compared to the BOL limit specified in the COLR prior to initial operation above 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, after each fuel loading; and
- b. The MTC shall be measured at any THERMAL POWER and compared to the 300 ppm surveillance limit specified in the COLR (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition) within 7 EFPD after reaching an equilibrium boron concentration of 300 ppm. In the event this comparison indicates the MTC is more negative than the 300 ppm surveillance limit specified in the COLR, the MTC shall be remeasured, and compared to the EOL MTC limit specified in the COLR, at least once per 14 EFPD during the remainder of the fuel cycle.
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 12 of 20
- e. Perform design calculation to verify confor-mance to Specifications 3.1.1.3b a c.
Basis for the Change:
The BOL limits of LCO 3.1.1.3.a, LCO 3.1.1.3.b. and LCO 3.1.1.3.c are retained as maximum upper limits in the TS and the corresponding cycle specific limits are provided in the COLR. The EOL negative limit of LCO 3.1.1.3.d is relocated to the COLR. Both sets of these COLR MTC Limits [i.e., BOL/upper limits and the EOL/lower limit] allow the establishment of cycle specific limits without the need for TS changes so long as the BOL/upper limits in TS are not exceeded. This permits the unit to take advantage of improved fuel management and changes in unit operating schedule.
The BOL LCO, which is combined into a single statement, retains the maximum positive value that cannot be exceeded without written approval from the NRC. This ensures that the BOL MTC is such that inherently stable power operations result during normal operation and accidents events. The changes are consistent with the guidance provided in the STS (Reference 3) for relocating MTC limits to the COLR. The determination of the MTC limit is conducted in accordance with WCAP-9272-P-A (Reference 4) which is listed in the Turkey Point (PTN) TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report."
Consistent with the above changes to the LCO, changes are made to the applicability statements; ACTIONS a,
- a. 1"and "b" and surveillance requirements 4.1.1.3.a and 4.1.1.3 b.
The 3.0 x 10-4 Ak/k/0F value in SR 4.1.1.3.b is relocated to the COLR. In conjunction with this relocation, the phrase "300 ppm surveillance limit" is inserted into both places where this value previously existed in this surveillance requirement (SR). This is done to ensure that when this SR is performed, a comparison is made to the acceptance criteria of 300 ppm associated with this SR and not the relocated EOL MTC limit from LCO 3.1.1.3.d. The relocation of this limit and the insertion of the precautionary phrase "300 ppm surveillance limit" are consistent with the NRC methodology for expanding the COLR as presented in the STS (Reference 3).
SR 4.1.1.3.c is deleted as this activity is performed as part of the reload process during the core design. Specifically, during the reload core safety evaluation, the MTC is analyzed to determine that its value remains within the bounds of the original accident analysis during operation. This change is consistent with the guidance provided in the STS (Reference 3).
Relocating the MTC limits to the COLR will provide operating flexibility and avoid the need for frequent revision of the TS.

Basis for the Change:
The proposed changes incorporate updated NRC-approved methodologies.
4.0 List of Commitments None 5.0 Conclusion FPL proposes changes to the PTN TS by implementing the guidance of NRC Generic Letter (GL) 88-16 (Reference 1).
Generic Letter 88-16 (Reference 1) provided guidance for the preparation of a license amendment request to provide an alternative to identifying cycle-specific parameter limits within the TS. This alternative included three separate actions to modify the plant's TS:
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 16 of 20
- 1. The addition of the definition of a named formal report that includes the values of cycle-specific parameter limits that have been established using an NRC-approved methodology and consistent with all applicable limits of the safety analysis;
- 2. The addition of an administrative reporting requirement to submit the formal report on cycle-specific parameter limits to the Commission for information, and
- 3. The modification of individual TS to note that cycle-specific parameters shall be maintained within the limits provided in the defined formal report.
The above three actions specified in GL 88-16 are complied with by FPL in the proposed TS changes.
Specifically, the proposed changes to the TS involve the relocation of cycle-specific parameters, which are generated by using NRC-approved methodologies. These methodologies are listed in the PTN Unit 3 and 4 TS 6.9.1.7, "Core Operating Limits Report." As discussed above, through the issuance of GL 88-16, the NRC has determined that such cycle-specific variables may be removed from the TS and placed in a licensee-controlled Core Operating Limits Report; thus obviating prior NRC review and approval for subsequent changes. The PTN COLR ensures that changes to these relocated cycle-specific parameters will continue to be performed in accordance with NRC-approved methodologies, as controlled by TS 6.9.1.7, without requiring a license amendment every time a relocated cycle-specific value is changed.
The proposed changes to the PTN TS to relocate cycle-specific TS parameter limits to the COLR will maintain adequate controls upon these parameters during normal plant operations and anticipated operational occurrences. The subject parameter limits will be administratively controlled in accordance with TS 6.9.1.7. Specifically, this TS section requires the COLR to be submitted to the NRC each reload cycle, including any mid-cycle revisions or supplements.
In conclusion, the cycle-specific parameter limits controlled by the subject Specifications do not need to be included within the scope of the TS. The subject limits are adequately controlled by the COLR. Relocation of such cycle-specific limits from the TS to the COLR are consistent with the Commission's position established by GL 88-16 (Reference 1), and the STS (Reference 3) and are determined using NRC-approved methodologies documented in TS 6.9.1.7. Accordingly, the proposed changes to the TS are acceptable as they satisfy the appropriate regulatory guidance with regard to this matter.
6.0 No Significant Hazards Determination The Commission has provided standards in 10 CFR 50.92(c) for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists. A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility involves no significant hazard if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 17 of 20 or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The proposed license amendments to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 for Turkey Point Unit 3 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Unit 4 will revise the Technical Specifications to relocate cycle-specific TS parameter limits to the COLR in accordance with the guidance of GL 88-16 (Reference 1). The affected TS include:
- 1. Safety Limits for TS 2.1.1
- 2. Overtemperature AT, Note I of Table 2.2-1 for TS 2.2.1
- 3. Overpower AT, Note 3 of Table 2.2-1 for TS 2.2.1
- 4. Boration Control Shutdown Margin - Tavg Greater Than 200'F for TS 3/4.1.1.1
- 5. Boration Control Shutdown Margin - Tavg Less Than or Equal To 200'F for TS 3/4.1.1.2
- 6. Moderator Temperature Coefficient for TS 3/4.1.1.3
- 8. COLR for TS 6.9.1.7 Relocation of such cycle-specific limits from the TS to the COLR are consistent with the Commission's position established by the Safety Evaluation of WCAP-14483-A (Reference 2), and/or the STS (Reference 3). FPL has reviewed this proposed license amendment for FPL's Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and determined that its adoption would not involve a significant hazards consideration. The bases for this determination are discussed below:
The proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration for the following reasons:
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
No. The proposed changes to relocate cycle-specific parameters from TS to the COLR are administrative in nature and do not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, and configuration of the facilities or the manner in which the units are operated. The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of structures, systems or components to perform their intended function to mitigate the consequences of an initiating event within the acceptance limits assumed in the PTN Updated Final Safety Report (UFSAR).
The subject parameter limits will continue to be administratively controlled in accordance with Technical Specification 6.9.1.7. Specifically, this TS requires the COLR to be submitted to the NRC each reload cycle, including any mid-cycle revisions or supplements.
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 18 of 20 Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No. The proposed changes do not alter the design assumptions, conditions, or configurations of the facilities or the manner in which the units are operated. The proposed changes have no adverse impact on component or system interactions. The proposed changes will not degrade the ability of systems, structures or components important to safety to perform their safety function nor change the response of any system, structure or component important to safety as described in the PTN UFSAR.
The proposed changes are administrative in nature and do not change the level of programmatic and procedural details that assure safe operation of the facilities.
Since there are no changes to the design assumptions, parameters, conditions and configuration of the facilities, or the manner in which the plants are operated and surveilled, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different accident from any previously analyzed.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?
No. There is no adverse impact on equipment design or operation and there are no changes being made to Technical Specification cycle-specific parameter limits themselves that would adversely affect plant safety. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and impose alternative procedural and programmatic controls on these parameter limits in accordance with the Commission's position established by Generic Letter 88-16 (Reference 1). Any needed changes to these limits will continue to be submitted to the NRC in accordance with TS 6.9.1.7 requirements.
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
Based on the above discussion, FPL has determined that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
7.0 Environmental Consideration 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) provides criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory actions eligible for categorical exclusion from performing an environmental assessment.
A proposed amendment of an operating license for a facility requires no environmental assessment, if the operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment does not: (1) involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) result in a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and (3) result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. FPL has reviewed this LAR and determined that the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 19 of 20 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment. The basis for this determination follows.
Basis This change meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) for the following reasons:
- 1. As demonstrated in the 10 CFR 50.92 evaluation, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
- 2. The proposed amendment does not result in a significant change in the types or increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite. Implementation of the proposed changes to the TS involves the relocation of cycle-specific parameters from the TS to the COLR. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and impose alternative procedural and programmatic controls on the relocated parameters in accordance with the Commission's position established by GL 88-16 (Reference 1). These proposed TS changes do not result in changes to the design assumptions, conditions and configuration of the facilities, or the manner in which the plants are operated. Thus, the proposed amendment will not result in a significant change in the types or increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite.
- 3. The proposed amendment does not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. There are no changes to the source term or radiological release assumptions used in evaluating the radiological consequences in the PTN UFSAR. The proposed changes have no adverse impact on component or system interactions. The proposed changes will not degrade the ability of systems, structures or components important to safety to perform their safety function nor change the response of any system, structure or component important to safety as described in the PTN UFSAR. The proposed changes do not alter the design assumptions, conditions, or configurations of the facilities or the manner in which the units are operated. Hence, the proposed amendment does not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
8.0 Summary of Results The proposed license amendments to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 for Turkey Point Unit 3 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Unit 4 will revise the Technical Specifications to relocate cycle-specific TS parameter limits to the COLR in accordance with the guidance of GL 88-16 (Reference 1). Relocation of such cycle-specific limits from the TS to the COLR is consistent with the Commission's position established by the Safety Evaluation of WCAP-14483-A (Reference 2), and/or the STS (Reference 3). The proposed changes will maintain adequate controls upon these parameters during normal plant operations and anticipated operational occurrences. The subject parameter limits will be administratively controlled in accordance with TS 6.9.1.7. This TS section requires the COLR to be submitted to the NRC each reload cycle, including any mid-cycle revisions or supplements. Hence these proposed changes would afford FPL the
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 L-2011-006 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure License Amendment Request No. 209 Page 20 of 20 flexibility to revise cycle-specific parameters, in accordance with NRC approved methodologies, without the need for license amendment submittals. Accordingly, resources, both FPL and NRC, would be saved by minimizing and or/eliminating repetitive LAR submittals associated with revising cycle-specific parameters.
