UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 25, 1999 Mr. Thomas F. Plunkett President - Nuclear Division Florida Power and Light Company P. O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, Florida 33408-0420
SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT PLANT, UNITS 3 AND 4, CLOSURE OF U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORYCOMMISSION STAFF REVIEW REGARDING GENERIC IMPLICATIONOF THE PART-LENGTH CONTROL ROD DRIVE MECHANISM HOUSING LEAKAT PRAIRIE ISLAND UNIT 2 (TAC NOS. MA1487 AND MA1488)
Dear Mr. Plunkett:
By the enclosed letters dated August 11 and December 23, 1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has responded to Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) positions regarding corrective actions to address generic aspects of the part-length control rod drive mechanism housing issue that originated as a result of the leak at Prairie Island, Unit 2, on January 23, 1998. The WOG program is a voluntary industry initiative to address this issue.
r By letter dated April 8, 1998, Florida Power and Light Company discussed its participation in the WOG initiative and the activities at Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4, resulting from that initiative. The NRC staff's review of this letter and results was performed under the above TACs.
r As discussed in the December 23, 1998 letter, the NRC staff has concluded that, given the marginal increase in risk and the small number of welds with potentially reduced safety margins, the actions taken under the industry initiative are acceptable foi protecting public health and safety.
Accordingly, our review under TAC Nos. MA1487 and MA1488 is considered complete.
