UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 May 4,2012 Mr. Mano Nazar Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Florida Power and Light Company P.O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420

SUBJECT:

TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 - CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NOS. 248 AND 244 REGARDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TASK FORCE (TSTF)-448 (TAC NOS. ME4277 AND ME4278)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On March 30, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 248 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-31 and Amendment No. 244 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Plant, Units Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. The amendment revised the technical specification requirements related to control room envelope habitability in accordance with Technical Specification Task Force TF-448, Revision 3, "Control Room Habitability."

By letter dated April 26, 2012, the licensee notified the NRC staff that several minor administrative errors were identified, and are summarized below:

• The implementation schedule for these amendments should be consistent with License Amendments 244 and 240, so that implementation will be by the completion of the Cycle 26 refueling outage for Turkey Point Unit 3, and by the completion of the Cycle 27 refueling outage for Turkey Point Unit 4.

• The Amendment Number for the Turkey Point Unit 3 license page 6 requires correction.

• The Turkey Point Unit 4 license pages 6 and 7 required correction to include the Control Room Habitability license condition on the correct pages.

M. Nazar - 2 The NRC staff found that the minor administrative errors were not included in the July 16, 2010, application for amendment. The NRC staff determined that these errors were inadvertently introduced and that the erroneous change was not addressed in the notice to the public nor reviewed by the staff. Thus, according to the NRC's policy established by SECY-96-238 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System Accession No. 9611250030), these errors can be corrected by a letter. Enclosed please find the replacement pages. These corrections do not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendment.

Sincerely, so' C. Paige, Proj ct Manager la Licensing Branch 11-2

3. The CREVS compensatory filtration unit, which is being installed by FPL as part of the AST methodology implementation at Turkey Point, will be designed in accordance with the Class I Structures, Systems, and Equipment Design Requirements defined in Appendix 5A of the Turkey Point UFSAR. As such, the compensatory filtration unit will be designed so that the stress limits found in Table 5A-1 of the Turkey Point UFSAR will not be exceeded due to the loadings imposed by a maximum hypothetical earthquake. FPL shall ensure that the design of the compensatory filtration unit satisfies these stress limits prior to the implementation of the proposed AST methodology at Turkey Point.

I. Control Room Habitability Upon implementation of Amendment No. 248 adopting TSTF-448 Revision 3, the determination of control room envelope (CRE) unfiltered air inleakage as required by Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.7.5.g, in accordance with Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.4.k.c.(i), the assessment of eRE habitability as required by Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(ii), and the measurement of eRE pressure as required by Specification 6.8.4.k.d, shall be considered met. Following implementation:

(a) The first performance of SR 4.7.5.g, in accordance with Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(i), shall be within the specified Frequency of 3 years, plus the 9 month allowance of SR 4.0.2, as measured from July 31,2009, the date of the most recent tracer gas test. *

(b) The first performance of the periodic assessment of eRE habitability, Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(ii), shall be within 3 years, plus the 9-month allowance of SR 4.0.2, as measured from July 31, 2009, the date of the most recent tracer gas test.

(c) The first performance of the periodic measurement of eRE pressure,

• The most recent tracer gas test (July 31, 2009) was unsuccessful in that there was a measured 9 cfm control room inleakage: the acceptance criteria is 0 cfm. In accordance with Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.197 Rev. 0, a recalculation ofthe consequences to the control room operators was performed, and the results were acceptable for continued CREVS operability. Consistent with RG 1.197, a full test is to be conducted three years later to ascertain whether the CRE's integrity has continued to degrade.

Renewed License No. DPR-31 Amendment No. 248

6 (d) FPL will not move any fuel assemblies into the Unit 4 SFP subsequent to the successful completion of startup physics tests for Unit 4 Cycle 25.

I. Alternative Source Term Modifications

1. FPL will relocate the CR Ventilation System emergency air intakes prior to implementation of AST. The relocated intakes and associated ductwork will be designed to seismic criteria, protected from environmental effects, and will meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, GDC 19. The new intakes will be located near the ground level extending out from the southeast and northeast corners of the auxiliary building and will fall within diverse wind sectors for post-accident contaminants. FPL will perform post-modification testing in accordance with the plant design modification procedures to ensure the TS pressurization flow remains adequate to demonstrate the integrity of the relocated intakes. In addition, FPL will provide to the NRC a confirmatory assessment which demonstrates that the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, GDC 19 will be met. The confirmatory assessment will follow the methodology in Amendment 240 [the alternative source term amendment]

including the methods used for the establishment of the atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q values).

2. FPL will install ten (two large and eight small) stainless steel wire mesh baskets containing NaTB located in the containment basement to maintain pH during the sump recirculation phase following a Design Basis LOCA.

3. The CREVS compensatory filtration unit, which is being installed by FPL as part of the AST methodology implementation at Turkey Point, will be designed in accordance with the Class I Structures, Systems, and Equipment Design Requirements defined in Appendix 5A of the Turkey Point UFSAR. As such, the compensatory filtration unit will be designed so that the stress limits found in

J. Control Room Habitability Upon implementation of Amendment No. 244 adopting TSTF-448 Revision 3, the determination of control room envelope (CRE) unfiltered air in leakage as required by Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.7.5.g, in accordance with Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.4.k.c.(i), the assessment of CRE habitability as required by Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(ii), and the measurement of CRE pressure as required by Specification 6.8.4.k.d, shall be considered met. Following implementation:

(a) The first performance of SR 4.7.5.g, in accordance with Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(i), shall be within the specified Frequency of 3 years, plus the 9-month Renewed License No. DPR-41 Amendment No. 244

7 allowance of SR 4.0.2, as measured from July 31, 2009, the date of the most recent tracer gas test. *

(b) The first performance of the periodic assessment of CRE habitability, Specification 6.8.4.k.c.(ii}, shall be within 3 years, plus the 9-month allowance of SR 4.0.2, as measured from July 31,2009, the date of the most recent tracer gas test.

(c) The first performance of the periodic measurement of CRE pressure, Specification 6.8.4.k.d, shall be within 36 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS, plus the 138 days allowed by SR 4.0.2, as measured from the date of the most recent successful pressure measurement test, or within 138 days of license amendment implementation if not performed previously.

• The most recent tracer gas test (July 31,2009) was unsuccessful in that there was a measured 9 cfin control room inleakage: the acceptance criteria is 0 cfin. In accordance with Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.197 Rev. 0, a recalculation ofthe consequences to the control room operators was performed, and the results were acceptable for continued CREVS operability. Consistent with RG 1.197, a foil test is to be conducted three years later to ascertain whether the CRE's integrity has continued to degrade.

4. This renewed license is effective as of the date of issuance, and shall expire at midnight April 10,2033.
