Subject:

Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Exemption Request - Fire Rating of Raceway Fire Barriers in the 0 en Turbine Buildin By letter L-97-181 dated July 31, 1997, Florida Power 6 Light Company (FPL) submitted a request for exemption from the requirements for

'raceway fire barriers in the open turbine building at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. In Section II.B.3, FPL requested an exemption to allow taking credit for separation of redundant circuits by a horizontal distance of more than 20 feet.

As requested by the NRC during the December 1, 1998, telephone conversation, this letter documents FPL's intention to protect safe shutdown circuits in the open turbine building, therefore, the request for exemption specified in Section II.B.3 will not be needed.

Furthermore, should Turkey Point elect to take credit for physical separation of redundant circuits in the open turbine building, FPL would submit a separate exemption request for NRC review and approval.

Should there be any questions, please contact us.

Very truly yours, 8iJ.
