MEETING

SUMMARY

This was the tenth in a series of management meetings between the NRC and FPL following issuance of Confirm'atory Order 87-85 in October 1987.

The previous meeting was

'.>eld on January 12,"

1989.

Since this was Mr. Ebneter's first meeting with FPL, Mr. Odom outlined the FPL organization and introduced key managers in his opening remarks.

Mr. Cross discussed overall plant status.

Unit 3 was online for 29 da'ys since startup from an unplanned outage.

During the

outage, major work completed included:

generator rotor changeout, RHR pump seal replacement, ICW cracked flange replacement, safeguards

test, pressurizer insulation repair, pressurizer heater connection repairs,.

velan check valve

repairs, PORV air system modifications, accumulator level transmitter replacement, and numerous Local Leak Rate Tests

( LLRT).

The Unit 4 refueling outage was in progress with an online date of April 9, 1989.

Major refueling activities included:

100%%d. eddy current testing of all three steam generators, replacement of both low pressure turbine

rotors, repair of high pressure turbine

rotor, MSIV air system modifications, replacement of CCW heat exchangers, PORV air system modifica-

tions, RHR pump seal modifications, repacking of approximately 1400 valves and the replacement of J-nozzles in all three steam generators.

Mr. Cross emphasized that with all the outage activities in 1988, Turkey Point achieved the lowest man-rem exposure since 1974.

Mr. Cross. also indicated that the Technical Specification revision project was progressing satisfactorily which would benefit the plant greatly.

Mr. Pearce discussed the January 19,

1989, Unit 4

RHR draindown event.

He emphasized that although the core was completely off loaded, the event was treated seriously and corrective actions have been implemented.

Mr. Southworth discusse'd the thimble tube crack on Unit 3 found January 16, 1989.

He described the repair process used and the root cause evaluation.

The failure mechanism was identified as Transgranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (TGSCC).

The area of the crack was susceptible to TGSCC due to inherent residual

stresses, RCS system pressure and chloride intrusion from an unknown source.

Preventive actions include thorough cleaning after maintenance, identification of tape and heat shrink to be used in maintenance instructions'nd penetrant testing of the thimble tubes during the next outage.

Mr. Cross and Mr. Sager discussed the procurement and spare parts initiatives for maintenance, both at the site and corporate levels.

The major points covered in the presentation are included in enclosure 4.

Mr. Gianfrancesco discussed maintenance improvement efforts at Turkey Point.

He indicated that corporate support is evident and that contractor help has been onsite to facilitate evaluating maintenance department performance.

He

Enclosure 3

also reviewed recent performance indicators which included a

corrective maintenance backlog of approximately 1000 Plant Work Orders and a control room deficiency tag backlog of 96.

Mr.

Odom described the Turkey 'Point Security Enhancement Plan.

The major points covered in this presentation are described in enclosure 5.

A working lur.ch was held in which the RCS leak through a

letdown line drain valve was discussed.

The licensee indicated that the investigation is ongoing into how the valve was opened.

Also discussed was the interface with the'state and county emergency response

agencies, with regard to late reporting of this event.

Mr. Cross indicated that all shifts were trained following this event.

Mr. Odom agreed that the relationship with the state and county officials must be improved.
