Turkey Point 3 & 4 - Acceptance Review for Relief Request No. 14 (TACs MF3564 and MF3565)
Bob, Olga, Stavy, By letter dated March 14, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML14078A031), Florida Power & Light Company (the licensee) submitted Relief Request No. 14 for the fourth 10-year inservice inspection intervals of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point 3 and 4). Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Paragraph 50.55a(a)(3)(ii),
the licensee requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorization of an alternative to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4) because hardship and unusual difficulty exists without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Relief Request No. 14 pertains to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code,Section XI, 1998 Edition with Addenda through 2000, Table IWC-2500-1 and paragraph IWC-5221 requirements for pressure testing the reactor vessel flange leak-off lines. The licensees proposed alternative is to examine the Class 2 accessible portions of the leak-off detection system using the VT-2 visual examination method at ambient conditions after the filling the refueling cavity to its normal refueling water level for at least 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
The NRC performed an acceptance review of the submittal to determine if the scope and depth of technical information is sufficient for the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review also intends to identify whether the request has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.
The NRC staff reviewed the application and concluded that it provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which the NRC staff identifies issues that affect its ability to complete the detailed technical review despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If the NRC needs additional information, the staff will notify you by separate correspondence.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-0489.
