Background

By letters dated January 30, 2018, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18037A812), February 9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18044A653), February 16, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18053A123), March 1, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18072A224), and April 10, 2018 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML18102A521 and ML18113A132), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted an application for subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). Turkey Point requested renewal of the operating license for an additional 20 years beyond the current renewed 60-year current license term, which expires on July 19, 2032 for Unit 3 and April 10, 2033 for Unit 4. The staff is reviewing the information contained in the environmental report (ER) of the subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54).

As part of the staffs review, a severe accident mitigation alternatives (SAMA) audit will be conducted for the Turkey Points SLRA. This audit is conducted with the intent to gain understanding, to verify information, and to identify information that will require docketing to support the basis of the licensing or regulatory decision. Specifically, the NRC staff will identify pertinent SAMA information and data, and obtain clarifications regarding information provided in the ER.

Per NRC guidance, the NRC staff prepares a regulatory audit plan that provides a clear overview of audit activities and scope, team assignments, and schedule.

2.

Regulatory Audit Bases License renewal requirements are specified in 10 CFR Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. Licensees are required by 10 CFR 54.23 to submit an ER that complies with the requirements in 10 CFR Part 51, Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions, as part of the SLRA.

Review guidance for the staff is provided in NUREG-1555, Standard Review Plans for Environmental Reviews for Nuclear Power Plants: Supplement 1 - Operating License Renewal.

Section 51.53(c)(3)(ii)(L) of 10 CFR states that If the staff has not previously considered severe accident mitigation alternatives for the applicant's plant in an environmental impact statement or related supplement or in an environmental assessment, a consideration of alternatives to mitigate severe accidents must be provided. Turkey Point provided a SAMA analysis in the 2003 ER for the initial license renewal application. Thus, the applicants SLRA ER must contain any new and significant information of which the applicant is aware (10 CFR 51.53(c)(iv)) which could affect the previous SAMA determinations.

3.

Regulatory Audit Scope The purpose of the SAMA audit is to review the new and significant evaluation as it relates to the SAMA analysis and results as documented in the Turkey Point SLRA ER and supporting documents.

4.

Information and Other Material Necessary for the Regulatory Audit For the in-office audit July 5-13, 2018, the project team will review the SLRA, as supplemented and revised, the ER and other FPL supporting documents as appropriate and requested:

Please make available the documents provided on the portal, including:

o The most recent PRA Peer Review and/or self-assessment reports for all hazards.

o SAMA New and Significant Basis Document o Available documentation of the review of the results of the Turkey Point Level 2 PRA used in the analysis to confirm that the model is representative of the plant and the results are reasonable The project team would like continued FPL document review capability via the document portal. Document requests for upload to the portal shall be made as needed via the NRC safety project manager to the appropriate FPL licensing manager.

The NRC staff would like to hold break-out sessions, via telephone conference calls and/or official internet-based desktop sharing means, with FPL or contractor subject matter experts personnel knowledgeable of Turkey Point Level 1, 2 and 3 PRA development and results, as well as SAMA identification and evaluation.
