FPL Letter L-201 5-275 Attachment Florida Power & Light Company Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4 Response to NRC Request for Additional Information (RAI)
Relief Request No. 2
L-201 5-275, Attachment Page 1 of 1 NRC RAI-1:*
The staff notes that RR-2 is a request for approval of an alternative with an acceptable level of quality and safety, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Paragraph 50.55a(z)(1). However, the discussion in Section 4, "Reason for Request," of the application appears to be a description of hardship, which is pursuant to 10 CER 50.55a(z)(2).
The staff notes that the March 3, 2005, precedent (ADAMS Accession No. ML050350363) referenced in the application is a safety evaluation of the same alternative during the previous (i.e., fourth) ten-year interval for the same regenerative heat exchanger shell welds, support welds, and component supports, and that the alternative was authorized,pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(ii) (now 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2)). The staff requests the licensee to confirm that RR-2 should be considered pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2) instead of 10 CER 50.55a(z)(1).
FPL Response to RAI-1 :
FPL confirms that RR-2 should be considered pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(2) instead of 10 CFR 50.55a(z)(1).
