1994 Mr. J.
H. Goldberg President - Nuclear Division Florida Power and Light Company P.O.
Box 14000 Juno
- Beach, Florida 33408-0420
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) REGARDING GENERIC LETTER 93-04, "ROD CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE AND WITHDRAWAL OF ROD CLUSTER CONTROL ASSEMBLIES, 10 CFR 50.54(F)" - TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 (TAC NOS.
M86873 AND M86874)
Dear Mr. Goldberg:
By letters dated August 4 and December 28,
- 1993, you responded to Generic Letter (GL) 93-04.
In your response, you stated that you would continue to work with the Westinghouse Owner's Group (WOG) in an effort to resolve this issue.
The WOG resolution involves a
new current order surveillance test and a current order timing modification.
We have, by letter dated November 10, 1994, to the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG), approved the following documents:
(1) WCAP-13864, Rev.
1, "Rod Control System Evaluation Program,"
(2) Westinghouse Technical Bulletin NSD-TB-94 RO, "Rod Control CROM Timing Change,"
and (3)
"WOG Recommended Rod Control System Surveillance Test."
The current order timing modification does not affect normal rod motion, but prevents asymmetric rod withdrawal should a
Salem-type failure occur.
This modification was successfully tested at the Ginna Station on April 15, 1994.
The new current order surveillance test (to be done each refueling outage) verifies that no failures exist in the Rod Control System current order circuits.
We find that the WOG's response, as discussed in the above Westinghouse documents, is an acceptable long-term resolution to GL 93-04.
We request that you either commit to implement the current order timing modification and the new current order surveillance test (to be done each refueling outage),
as described in the above Westinghouse documents, prior to startup from the next refueling outage that begins later than three months from receipt of this letter, or provide an alternative long-term plan and schedule.
We also encourage you to consider implementation at your first opportunity.
Your response is requested within 30 days from receipt of this letter.
In addition, after you have implemented the current order timing modification and the new current order surveillance test, you are requested to inform us in writing.
The information collection contained in this request is covered by the Office of Management and Budget clearance number 3150-0011, which expires July 31, 1997.
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is covered by the original estimate, which was estimated to average 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
