UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O. C. 20555 FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NO.
50-251 TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING, UNIT NO.
4 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 44 License No.
DPR-41 1.
The Nuclear Regulatory CornIIission (the Commission) has found that:
A.
The application for amendment by Florida Power and Light Company (the licensee) dated January 22, 1980 supplemented February 1
and February 14, 1980 complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Comission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B.
The facility will operate.in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the ComIission; C.
There is reasonable assurance (i) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, arid (ii) that such activities will be co~ducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations; D.
The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.
The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the ComIission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.
2-Accordingly, paragraph 3.0 is modified to amend sub-paragraphs 3.D. (1) and 3.D. (2).
Sub-paragraphs 3.D. (1) and 3.D. (2) read as follows:
D.
Steam Generator 0 eration (1)
After operation in Cycle 6 of eight equivalent full power months and four equivalent full power weeks from June 1,
1979, but not later than April I, '1980, Turkey Point Unit 4 shall be brought to the cold shutdown condition and the steam generators shall be inspected unless:
(1) an inspection of the steam generators is performed within this period as a result of the requirements in 2, 3 and 4 below, or (2) an acceptable analysis of the susceptibility for stress corrosion cracking of tubing is submitted to explicitly justify continued operation of Unit No.
4 beyond the authorized period of operation.
Any analysis justifying continued operation est be submitted at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of the authorized period of operation.
For the purpose of this requirement, equivalent operation is defined as operation with the reactor coolant at a temp-erature greater than 350'F.
Nuclear Regulatory Comnission (NRC) approval shall be obtained before resuming power operation following this inspection.
(2)
Reactor coolant to secondary leakage through the steam generator tubes shall be limited to 0.3 gpm per steam generator~
With a steam generator tube leakage greater than this limit, the reactor shall be brought to the cold shutdown condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
A full steam generator inspection shall be performed and NRC approval shall be obtained before resuming power operation following this inspection.
In addition if, during the period to April 1, 1980, Unit 4 is shutdown to repair a steam generator tube leak, a full steam generator inspection shall be performed.
3.
This license amendment is effective as of the date of its issuance.

Technical S ecifications The Technical Specifications contained in Appendices A and B as revised through Amendment No. 43 are hereby incorporated in the license.
The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.
C.
This license is subject to the following conditions for the protection of the environment:
(1) The applicant shall pursue evaluations of alternatives to the proposed cooling channel system during construction, interim operation, and evaluation of the channel system.
These evaluations shall include at least the following:
(a) Study of availability of groundwater or other alternative sources of surface water to use in the cooling system.
(b) Study of applicability of mechanical cooling devices, including powered spray modules and cooling towers.
(c) Study of marine environmental impacts of once-through cooling alternatives (described'in Section X of the AEC Final Environmental Statement on Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, July 1972).
(2) The applicant shall take appropriate corrective action on any adverse effects determined as a result of monitoring and study programs..
To the fullest extent practicable, the applicant shall utilize results of study programs in improving and modifying the operation of the facility and its cooling system so as to achieve a minimal adverse environmental impact.
D.
Steam Generator 0 eration (1)
After operation in Cycle 6 of eight equivalent full power months and four equivalent full power weeks from June 1,
1979, but not later than April 1, 1980, Turkey Point Unit 4 shall be brought to the cold shutdown condition and the steam generators shall be inspected unless:
(1) an inspection Amendment No. 44, Unit 4
(2)
(3)
(4) of the steam generators is performed within this period as a result of the requirements in 2, 3 and 4 below, or (2) an acceptable analysis of the susceptibility for stress corrosion cracking of tubing is submitted to explicitly justify continued operation of Unit No. 4 beyond the authorized period of'peration.
Any analysis justifying continued operation est be submitted at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of the authorized period of operation.
For the purpose of this requirement, equivalent operation is defined as operation with the reactor coolant at a temp-erature greater than 350'F.
Nuclear Regulatory Comnission (NRC) approval shall be obtained before resuming power operation following this inspection.
Reactor coolant to secondary leakage through the steam generator tubes shall be limited to 0.3 gpm per steam generator.
With a steam generator tube
'feakage greater than this limit, the reactor shall be brought to the cold shutdown condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
A full steam generator inspection shall be performed and NRC approval shall be obtained before resuming power. operation following this inspection.
In addition if, during the period to April 1, 1980, Unit 4 is shutdown to repair a steam generator tube leak, a full steam generator inspection shall be performed.
The concentration of radioiodine in the reactor coolant shall be limited to 1.0 microcurie/gram during normal operation and to 30 microcuries/gram during power transients.
Reactor operation shall be terminated and NRC approval shall be obtained prior to resuming operation if primary to secondary leakage attributable to the denting phenomena is detected in 2 or more tubes during any 20 day period.
(5)
(6)
The Metal Impact Monitoring System (NIMS) shall be contained in operation with the capability of detecting losse objects.
'f the MIMS is out of service in other than cold shutdown or refueling mode of operation, this fact shall be reported to the NRC.
Any abnormal indications from the MIMS shall also be reported to the NRC by telephone by the next working day and by a written evaluation within two weeks.
Following each startup from below 350'F, core barrel movement shall be evaluated using neutron noise techniques.
