In your 1etter dated June 23, 1978, concerning the Turkey Point Plant Unit Nos.
1 and 2, you responded to our letter of June 5, 1978 which transmitted a document entitled, Manpower Requirements for Operating Reactors";
In this response.
you reiterated your position that a 3-man fire brigade is adequate to cope with any fire at your Turkey Point facility.
However, in recognition of our position on fire brigade size, you stated that you would agree to designate two individuals who could provide additional assistance in a fire situation.
You indicated that these two individuals, however, would not receive the extent of training required of the fire brigade members.
In order that we may evaluate this proposal to supplement the fire brigade with two additional individuals, we request that you provide a response to the attached request for additional information as soon as possible but no later than November 9, 1978.
This information is required to complete our safety evaluation of the fire protection program.
A copy;of the enclosed request was telecopied to you on October 16, 1978.
Sincerely, Original Signed

The application per-tained to deletion of requirements for Part-Length Rod.Cluster Control Assemblies from the Technical Specifications and their removal from the facilities.
On September 21, 1978, the NRC staff issued Amendment Hos.
37 and 30 to the above indicated -licenses based on your August 9 appli-cation.
Since your application involved a single safety issu6 and was for two
- units, we have determined that a Class III fee for Unit No.
3 and a Class I fee for Unit flo. 4 are required pursuant to Section 170.22.of 10 CFR Part 170. It is requested, therefore, that you promptly forward to this office a check in the amount of $400 for the Class I fee.

He had discussions with members of your staff last week regarding the matter of demonstrating that the reactor core, following the upcoming Unit 4 reload for Cycle 5 operation, will behave as predicted wi-thin the expected accuracy of +10 percent.
During that discussion, we learned that the sum of the worths of the rod banks measured following rel,oad for Unit 4 Cycle 4 operation exceeded this expected
+10 percent accuracy.
{The sum of these worths was 13K less than predicted..)
Mithin 90 days of the date of this letter, we request that you provide the basis on which you determined that it was safe to operate Unit, 4 for Cycle 4 with this 13% deviation from predicted values.
Include a summary of any reanalyses performed by or for you that demonstrated that these lower rod worths were accept; able.
It is our position that on future reloads, including the present Unit 4 Cycle 5 reload, that you should obtain start up test data as indicated in Branch Position DOR-1 "Guidance for Reload Submittals".
A copy of DOR-1 was provided to you earlier.
In particular., with regard to rod bank worth if any one bank differs from the predicted value by more than 15%; or if the sum of the measured-worths of. the regulating banks differs from the predicted value by more than 10%, the first, shutdown bank shou'td also be measur ed. If the sum of measured worths of the regulating banks and the first shutdown bank differs from the predicted value by more than 10%, the worth of additional shutdown bank should be measured to verify the existence of the shutdown margin specified in the Technical Specifications;-

Florida Power and Light Company all measured rod banks still differs by more than 10% from the predicted value, you are requested to notify the Division of Operating Reactors of this fact before taking the plant to power.
Such notification should include the basis on which you conclude that operation with more than'a 10% difference ft om predicted performance is safe.
Me request that you provide a commitment to this position before you startup for Unit 4 Cycle 5.

During our review we have become aware of some apparent deviationsfrom the information provided.
For example, in Figure 4.3 (Schematic of "As Built" Liquid Treatment System Components) M the June 4, 1976 submittal, the floor drains treatment system consists of filtration, evaporation, and demineralization.
It is our understanding that this process train is no longer in service and that a portable demineralizer is being used for the treatment of liquids'=doHected from 4loor drains.

On April 4, 1977, in regard to Turkey Point Unfts 3 and 4, Florida Power and Light submitted a report on the thermal margin avaf lab'le to compensate for the reduction in DNBR identified by Mestfnghouse in Reference 1 (references are identified in the enclosure to this letter) as due to the effects of fuel rod bowing.
Your report assumed the reduction in NBR was equal to the value specified in Reference 2.
Me have reviewed this procedure and find the treatment of rod bowing effects on DNBR to be acceptable with the exception of the proposed IIBR safety limit.
You have proposed'using the value of 1.24 which is the value of DNBR which bounds 95$ of the data base with a 955 confidence.
The data base consists of NBR values in which the measured values of critical heat. fl'ux were obtained from a series of tests performed by Hestinghouse and the predicted values of critical heat flux were calculated using the THING IV computer code with the W-3 critical heat flux correlation and the L-grid correction.
Our concern is that you use the COBRA III C computer code to calculate its thermal limit line curves for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Technical Specifications.
These lines are loci of DNBR safety limit values (1.24 fn the case of the rod bowing submittal, Reference 4).
Thus, the COBRA III C code is used to calculate a
DNBR value to be compared with a DNBR limit which was determined with values predicted by a different (THINK IV) computer code.
Therefore, the number calculated by COBRA III C does not necessarily have the same upper tolerance limit (95% probability of exceeding the data at a 95$ confidence level) as represented by the limit value of 1.24 calculated with the THINK IV code.
The 95x95 upper tolerance limit calculated with COBRA III C has not been presented to us.

)g78 In order to complete our review of your April 4, 1977 report we request that you perform the appropriate calculations to derive a
safety limit consistent with the COBRA III C computer code.
This will involve using the data base of measured critical heat flux values, Hi, and the accompanying coolant conditions to calculate new predicted values of critical heat flux, Pi, by means of the COBRA III C code.
The derived safety limit would then be NBR limit 95g95 p.
K 17 Mi is the mean of the balues, Pi f:" "
is the appropriate multiplier to give a 95x95 upper tolerance limit for the number of measured critical heat flux values in the data base, and is 'the Standard deviation of the M< values.
Pi Such a value aould be consistent with the calculation of MBR values with the COBRA III C computer code.
The data base appropriate to these calcu-lations is given in Reference 3.
You should provide the results of the above calculation as a basis for your requested change in the OHBR safety limit.
In the interim, the staff will assume a suitably conservative limit of 1.30.

3 and 4. We find that we will need additional information, as described below, to complete our Appendix I evaluation of these units. We have determined that meteorological data from South'ade would be most appropriate for the Appendix I evaluation for Turkey Point. Several years of onsite meteorological data from the South Dade site should be available. Provide joint frequency distributions (in the format described in Regula-tory Guide.1.23) by atmospheric stability (defined by the vertical t'emperature gradient between the 11.6 m and 57.9 m levels) for the South Dade site for at least a two-year, period of record. Data recovery for the entire period should be greater than 90%. Hourly averaged data may also be provided on magnetic tape using the, enclosed format.

SUBJECT:
STANDARD FORMAT FOR METEOROLOGICAL DATA ON MAGNETIC TAPE Regulatory Guide 1.70, Revision 2, "Standard Format and Content of
- .Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants" (September 1975),
recommends that, if possible, hour-by-hour meteorological data should be provided on magnetic tape. The draft Environmental. Standard Review Plan for meteorology (included in NUREG-0158, Part 1, January 1977) provides some guidance on the types of magnetic tapes that are acceptable and identifies limitations on block size, and density. We have also developed a standardized=format (Enclosure
- 1) for providing hour-by-hour meteorological data on magnetic tapes that would facili-tate our review of atmospheric diffusion characteristics and cooling system impacts.
Enclosure 2 provides a sample tape dump using this format. We woul'd prefer receiving meteorological data magnetic tapes in the standard format; however, we will accept data on magnetic tape in any reasonable format, if the format is completely described (per guidance in NUREG-0158, Part 1) and a sample tape dump is"provided. questions on this standard format should be referred to William'nell, Hydrology-Meteorology Branch, Division of Site Safety and Environmental
- Analysis, phone number 301-492-7384.'his request for generic information was approved by GAO under -blanket clearance number B-180225 (R0072).
This clearance expires July 31, 1977. Sincerely,

Enclosure 1 t PBOPOSED FOE;IAT FOR HOURLY LOGICAL DATA TO BE PLACED ON bRWPZIC TAPE Use: 9 track tape (7 will be acceptable) Standard LJx.l which would include Record Length = 160 Block Size (3200 fixed block. size) 4 Density (1600 BPI 800 will be accepted) Magnetic tapes with unformatted or spanned records. At the beginning of each tape, use the first five (5) records (which is the equivalent of ten cards) to give a tape description. Include 'I~ 'lant
- name, and location (latitude, longitude) dates of data, in-formation explaining data contained in the "other" fields if they are used, height of measurements, and any additional information pertinent to identification of the tape.
Make sure all five rec'ords are included, even if some are blank. Format for the first five records will be 160A1. Meteorological data format is (I6, I2, I3, I4, 25F5.1, F5.2, 3F5.1). Decimal coints should not be included when copying data onto the tape. All data should. be given to a tenth of a unit except solar radiation which should 'be given to a hundreth of a unit. This does not necessarily indicate the accuracy of the data. (e.g. wind direction. is usually given to the nearest degree but record it with a zero in the tenth's place. That is 275 degrees would be 275.0 degrees and placed on the tape as 2750 ' All nines in any field indicates a lost record (99999) . All sevens in a wind direction field indicates calm (77777). If only two levels of data, use the upper 6 lower levels. If only one level of data, use the upper level.
