Introduction By letter to the NRC dated May 13, 1983, Florfda Power and Light Company (the licensee) has proposed changes to the Technical'Specfffcatfons for Turkey Point Unfts 3 and 4 whfch wfl 1 tncorporate an addftfonal requirement for a monthly walkdown of all accessible safety-related flowpaths to verify the flowpaths exfzt to assure the safety-related systems can perform their function.
The proposed changes require that each valve (manual, power operated or autbmatfc) fs fn ft's correct posttfon and verify the availability of power to those components required for operab4Tfty of the desfgnated flow-paths.
These requfrements will be fncluddd fn Section 4.18 "Safety Related System Flowpaths."
Table 4. 18-"1 fdentfffest the systems, specfffes the frequency and the applicable operational mode of the reactor.
II.
Evaluation Me have reviewed the fnformatf'on submitted by the licensee requesting that Appendix A to Facility Operating License DPR-31 and DPR-41 be amended to include a requirement for A.monthly walkdown of all safety-related flowoaths to verify correct valve position and have concluded the proposed Technical Spec)ffcations are acceptable.
Our conclusion fs based on the fol lowing:
1.
Technical Specification fTS1 4. 18 including Table 4.18 This orooosed chanqe will suppot t a recent commttment made to the NRC by which all safety systems as shown on Table 4. 18-1 will be verfffed to ensure proper line-ups and avaflabflfty of flowpaths at monthly intervals.
These additional TS changes are consistent with the Standard Technical Specifi-cations for Westinghouse Pressurized Mater Reactors, NUREG-Q452, Revision 4, paragraph 4.5.2.6.2.

Environmental Consideration l
We have determined that the amendments do not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendments involve an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of envtronmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR S51.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
IY.
Concl us ion We have concluded, based on the constderattons discussed above, that:
(1) these is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation tn the proposed
- manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted Cn compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of the amendments
<11 not he tntmtcal to the comaon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
