Dear Dr. Uhrig:
In a document fi.led in the Turkey Point Steam Generator repair proceedings, entitled "Licensee's Stat'ement Concerning Intervenor's, August 30, 1979 Contentions," you disclosed plans to upgrade the feedwater and condensate system on all of the Florida Power and Light Company Units, including the Turkey Point Plant, Unit Nos.
3 and 4.
This upgrading includes'condensate polishing demineralizers" (demineralizers).
Your position is that "the demineralizers and related improvements are independent of and in addition to the repair program here involved and. do not involve a change in Technical Specifications or the need for a license amendment."
We included a statement regarding "condensate polishers" (demineralizers)'n page 3-1 of our Safety Evaluation Report (SER), dated Hay 14, 1979.
That SER was issued in connection with our review of your proposed steam generator repair program.
Since it appears that the purpose and effect of the demineralizers will be to improve the quality of the water that passes through the steam generators and since it appears that the vtorst malfunctioning of the demineralizers would only result in a transient which has already been
- analyzed, (the loss of main: fee4vater transient) it would be reasonable to assume that you have properly nade a determination, as allowed by 10 CFR 50.59(a)(2) of'ur regulations that this modification does not con-stitute an unreviewed safety question.
Please confirm that uch a deter-mination has been made, is fully documented, and-provide the documentation.

Dr. Robert E. Uhrfg Florida Power and Light Company We find that we cannot come to a simflar conclusion regarding our Fnvfronmental Impact Appraisal dated June 29, 1979, which reviewed the environmental aspects of the steam generator repair proposal because we do not know -enough about the effluents involved fn the operation of the demfneralfzers you expect to fnstall.
We, therefore, ask that you provide information on this subject as requested in the enclosure to this letter.
The enclosure also requests information relative to another issue in the steam generator repair proceeding.
