ATTACHMENT 1 DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT REQUEST AND BASIS FOR NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION

TURKEY POINT UNIT 4 PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT TITLE: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT RE UEST:

The United States of America is committed by treaty to permit the IAEA to apply safeguards in the U.S. in the same manner as in non-nuclear weapons countries. On July 19, 1985, Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) Turkey Point Plant, Unit 4, was selected by the IAEA under Article 39(b) of the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement for application of IAEA safeguards. The IAEA safeguards inspection program permits the IAEA to verify that source or special nuclear material at the facility is not withdrawn (except as provided in the US/IAEA agreement) from the facility while such material is being safeguarded under the agreement. By letter dated September 5, 1985 the NRC informed FPL of the Turkey Point Plant selection.

Amendment No. 117 to Facility Operating License DPR-41, issued April 10, 1987, implemented the IAEA safeguards inspection program at Turkey Point Unit 4 by adding License Condition 3.J, "IAEA Safeguards".

In early 1988, the IAEA informed the U.S. Department of State that Turkey Point Unit 4 had been deleted from the subsidiary arrangement listing as provided for in Article 39(A)(1).

Consequently, the unit would no longer be subject to IAEA safeguards inspections. By letter dated December 2, 1988, the NRC informed FPL, in accordance with 10 CFR 75.41, and the termination provisions of License Condition 3.J, that the license condition was terminated and that the license condition could now be deleted.

This proposed amendment would delete License Condition 3.J.

BASIS FOR NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION The Commission has provided standards in 10 CFR 50.92(c) for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists.

A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant. reduction in a margin of safety.

C

\

, ~ v l1 In addition, the Commission has provided guidance for the application of the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c) specified above by providing examples of changes that are not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration (50 FR 7751). Example (i): a purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature.

The proposed deletion of the License Condition 3.J is a purely administrative change. The IAEA Safeguards inspection program implemented by the license condition has been completed, and the NRC has informed FPL that the license condition is terminated and can be deleted. The IAEA Safeguards inspection program did not affect the existing design nor did limitations to the facility.

it result in any operational Based on the above, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would pose no threat to the public health and safety, and would not involve a significant hazards consideration.
