UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO, 117 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO, DPR 31 AND AMENDMENT NO. 111TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.
DPR-41 FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY TURKEY POINT UNIT NOS.
3 AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-250 AND 50-251 I.
Introduction By letter dated April 15, 1986, from C. 0.
Woody (FPL) to H. L. Thompson, Jr.,
(NRC), the licensee, Florida Power and Light Company, submitted a proposed Technical Specification change that will allow the use of Integral Fuel Burnable Absorbers (IFBAs) in fuel assemblies for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
II.
Evaluation The IFBA design was originally introduced in the approved VANTAGE 5 fuel design in a Westinghouse Topical Report (WCAP-10444-P-A).
Westinghouse applied this IFBA design feature to other fuel designs such as 14x14 and 15x15 fuel assemblies in Addendum 1 to WCAP-10444-P-A.
We approved this Addendum 1 in a safety evaluation dated March 13, 1986.
There are no design feature changes at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 which would make the generic review invalid.
Our Safety Evaluation of'CAP-10444-P-A, Addendum I, is attached to this Safety Evaluation to support our finding and conclusion.
In addition, the IFBA design has been demonstrated to perform as predicted by using test assemblies in Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
III. ~Ffndin Based on the above evaluation, supporting Safety Evaluation of WCAP-10444-P-A, Addendum I and the results of the test assemblies, we conclude that the IFBA design can be applied to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, and the proposed change to Technical Specification Section 5.2 is acceptable.
IV.
Environmental Consideration These amendments involve changes in the installation or use of the facilities components located within the restricted areas as defined in 10 CFR 20.
The staff has determined that these 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 these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been nn public comment on such finding.
Accordingly, these amendments meet 8607220731 000250 860714 PDR

the eligibilitycriteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Sec 51.22(c)(9).
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.
V.
Conclusion We have 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, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
