UNITED STATES '

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NOS.

112 AND 53 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS.

DPR-67 AND NPF-16 FLORIDA POWER

& LIGHT COMPANY ET AL.

ST.

LUGIE PLANT UNIT NOS.

1

~ AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-335 AND 50-389

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated February 26, 1991, Florida Power

& Light Company (FPL, the licensee) requested var ious changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the St. Lucie Plant, Unit Nos.

1 and 2.

The licensee proposed to make administrative changes to achieve consistency throughout the TS by removing outdated material, making minor text changes and correcting errors.

2.0 EVALUATION St. Lucie Unit 1 TS onl a)

On page 3/4 3-28, Table 3.3-7, the licensee proposed to add strong motion triaxial accelograph SHR-42-5.

This instrument was always part of the plant and is not the result of a plant change or modification.

Since this change corrects an erroneous

omission, the staff finds it acceptable.

b)

On page 3/4 3-42, Table 3.3-11, the licensee proposed to change the number of reactor coolant system (RCS) subcooling margin monitors from 1 to 2.

This change corrects an erroneous omission made when Amendment No. 79 revised Table 3.3-11.

With this correction, Table 3.3-11'will now accurately reflect the current instrumentation in the plant.

The staff finds this correction acceptable.

c)

On page 3/4 4-4, Surveillance Requirement 4.4.4, the licensee proposed to correct the reference by changing "4.8.1.1" to "4.8.1.1.2."

This is not a change but a correction to cite the proper surveillance requirement.

For that reason the staff finds this correction acceptable.

d)

The licensee proposed the following minor changes in text:

On pages 3/4 8-1 and 8-3, capitalize the word "OPERABILITY."

On page 3/4 8-2, capitalize the "s" in the word "Statement."

On page 3/4 8-6a, add the word "with" to the sentence.

On page 3/4 8-6b, correct spelling of "Specification" and "information."

The above changes correct gramIar, spelling and standardize capitalization in the TS.

Therefore, the staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

On page 3/4 10-2, the licensee proposed to delete the reference to specification 3.1.3.2 from specifications 4.10.2.1 and 4.10.2.2.

The above deletion should have been made when Amendment No. 27, issued Nay 26, 1978, deleted'pecification 3.1.3.2.

Since the proposed, deletion corrects an error of omission, the staff finds the deletion acceptable.

St. Lucie Unit 2 TS onl a)

Over the years, a number of figures and tables in the TS have been changed by amendments without making corresponding changes on the appropriate pages of the TS index.

The licensee proposed to update the various index pages as follows:

1.

On page XXI, Figures 3.1-1, 4.2-1 and 3.4-2 are corrected in accordance with Amendment Nos. 40, 17 and 46, respectively.

2.

On page XXII, Figures 3.4-3, 3.4-4, and 8 3/4.4-1 are corrected in accordance with Amendment Nos. 46, 46 and 31, respectively.

Figure 5.6-1 is added in accordance with Amendment No. 7.

3.

On page XXIV, Table 4.4-5 is corrected in accordance with Amendment No. 31.

Tables 3.4-3 and 3.4-4 are added in accordance with Amendment No. 31.

4.

On page XXV, Tables 3.7-3a and 3.7-3b are deleted in accordance with Amendment No. 22.

The staff has reviewed all of the above proposals and finds that the index pages should be updated.

Therefore, the staff finds the proposed updates acceptable.

b)

On page 3/4 6-21, the licensee proposed to delete "HC" from valve identification on valves 2516 and 2522 to read I-V-2516 and I-V-2522.

This change corrects the TS to reflect the actual valve identification as it exists in the plant, and for that reason the staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

c)

The licensee proposed to clarify and make the format of listing multiple valves consistent by the following changes:

1.

On page 3/4 8-18,

"-3645" with

"-3646" with

"-3647" with

"-3644" with replace:

N,25%35,45"

",26,36,46"

",27,37,47"

",24,34,44" 2.

On page 3/4 8-19, replace:

"TO 16" with ",10,11,12,13,14,15,16" "TO 19" with ",15,16,17,18,19"

For these

reasons, the staff finds them acceptable.

St. Lucie Units 1 and 2

a)

On pages 3/4 8-4, the licensee proposed to add "Local" to the diesel generator start option for the diesel generator surveillance requirements.

Amendments No.

103 for Unit 1, and No. 39 for Unit 2 allowed

. warmup and slow acceleration of the diesel generator for certain surveillance requirements.

In accordance with the guidance contained in CEN 152, "Emergency Procedure Guidelines,"

Revision 3, the term "manual" means to operate equipment from a location other than its physical location, normally from the control room.

The term "local" means to operate equipment at its physical location.

A warmup and slow acceleration of the diesel generator can only be accomplished by starting the diesel locally. It is, therefore, necessary to add the "Local" option to the TS to avoid confusing and inconsistent instructions for the operators.

The staff finds the proposed addition acceptable.

b)

On page 6-8 for Unit I and page 6-9 for Unit 2, in specification 6.5.1.7b, the licensee proposed to replace "a through e" with "a,b,d, and e."

In essence, this change deletes item "c" from specification 6.5.1.7b.

Item "c" reads:

"Review of all proposed changes to Appendix A Technical Specifications."

Specification 6.5.1.7 delineates the authority of the Facility Review

Group, and item b currently reads:

"Render determinations in writing with regard to whether or not each item considered under Specifications 6.5.1.6a through e.

above constitutes an unreviewed safety question."

The intent of. this specification is to determine whether the particular changes to the procedures,

tests, experiments etc., listed in specifications 6.5.1.6a through e need to be submitted to NRC for prior approval.

Since 10 CFR 50.59 already requires all changes to Appendix A

Technical Specifications be submitted to NRC for prior approval, item,"c" is not necessary.

Therefore, the staff finds this deletion acceptable.

3.0 STATE CONSULTATION

Based upon the written notice of the proposed amendments, the Florida State official had no comments.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

These amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.

The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in

individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (56 FR 15641).

Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

These amendments also relate to changes in administrative procedures or requirements.

Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:

(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed

manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
