4 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-251 NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c>{4) to Florida Power and Light Company (the licensee), for the Turkey Point Plant, Unit No. 4, located at Dade County, Florida.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Pro osed Action:
The exemption would grant schedular extensions for the completion of the following fire protection items for Unit 4 and common areas.
1.
Cable reroute 2.
Penetration seals 3.
Raceway (conduit) protection by fire rate barriers 4.
Alternate Shutdown
- System, common procedures and areas (control room, cable spreading rooms and the Auxiliary Building north-south breezeway) 1 The scope of additional work needed in these areas was identified as the result of reverification effort by the licensee.
The Need for the Pro osed Action:
When the reverification program indicated the need for additional modifications, necessary engineering and procurement were reauired by the licensee.
The magnitude of the work associated with the modifications is such that it does rot allow the 10 CFR 50.48(c) schedule to be met.
The exemptions are strictly S606110169 S60603 PDR ADOCK 05000251 F
schedular in that they allow the modification schedule to be extended, with interim compensatory measures in place, which will provide the necessary fire protection until the corresponding modifications are completed.
Environmental Im act of the Pro osed Action:
The proposed action only affects the length of time for the required modifications to be completed.
The licensee has proposed interim compensatory measures to provide the necessary level of fire protection until the modifications are completed.
Thus, fire-related radiological releases will not differ from those determined previously and the proposed exemption does not otherwise affect facility radiological effluent or occupational exposures.
With regard to potential nonradiological
- impacts, the proposed exemption does not affect plant nonradiological effluents and has no other environmental impact.
Therefore, the Commission concludes there are no measurable radiological or nonradiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed exemption.
Alternatives to the Pro osed Action:
Since the Commission has concluded there is no measurable environmental impact associated with the proposed exemption, any alternatives with equal or greater environmental impact need not be evaluated.
The principal alternative to the exemption would be to require rigid compliance with the 50.48(c}(4) requirements.
Such action would not enhance the protection of the environment and would result in uniustified costs for the licensee.
Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of resources not considered previouslv in the Final Environmental Statement for Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4. '
encies and Persons Consulted:
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's request and did not consult other agencies or persons.

~ FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed exemption.

'ffect on the quality of the human environment.
