Residual heat removal (RHR) system suction is . isolated by two electrically-operated valves in series, and the RHR discharge is isolated by one electrically-operated valve and one check valve.
The RHR system is located outside containment.
1.6.2 REACTOR SHUTDOWN Reactor Protection System The new EAGLE-21 system was installed on both units during the 1991 000 for the temperature portions of the reactor protection system.
ATWS protection The AMSAC (ATWS mitigation system actuation circuitry) design.was incorporated into both units during the 1991 DUO. AMSAC (2 channels) is armed at >36 % power and is initiated on 2 of 3 low-low SG levels and actuates to start AFW and trip open'the CRDM MG set's breakers output. !
i Remote Shutdown Facilities The remote iternate) shutdown facilities are located in the 3B/4B emergency switchgear rooms and locally throughout the plant.
1.6.3 CORE C0 CLING Feedwater System The main feedwater system utilizes two 60%-capacity, motor-driven, constant-speed, steam generator feedwater pumps per unit.
Turbine'Bvoass/ Steam Dumo Caoacity l
The steam dump system consists of a power-operated atmospheric relief valve on each main steam line and four turbine bypass-valves which exhaust to the condenser. The total capacity of the atmospheric relief valves and the turbine bypass valves is 10% and 40%, respectively, of full power steam flow.
Auxiliary Feedwater System Three quick-starting, turbine-driven, auxiliary feedwater p' umps are configured such that each pump is capable of s'upplying
- auxiliary feedwater to Unit 3 or 4. Any single pump is capable of supplying the total auxiliary feedwater requirements for either unit. These safety-related, turbine-driven pumps are supplied
. with steam from the unit which has lost its normal feedwater supply, and aligned into two redundant trains.
Two non-safety-related, one motor-driven and one diesel-driven, 9

- standby ~ steam generator feedwater pumps are also provided. These
.l pumps can be used during plant startup'and shutdown or during a loss of off-site power event. In 1995 the licensee completed the replacement of one motor-driven pump with a diesel-driven pump, !
. thus eliminating the need for the five blackstart diesel j generators. !
Emeraency Core Coolina System j Three accumulators per unit (one for each loop) discha' rge borated ;
water into the co.1d legs of the reactor coolant system (RCS) when RCS pressure' decreases to approximately 660 psig.- Four shared
.high head safety injection (HHSI)' pumps and two low head RHR pumps ,
per unit are also available. , q Decay Heat Removal !
Each unit has two 100%-capacity RHR pumps and heat exchangers. j which are also used as the low head emergency core cooling system. .
Turkey Point is designed for Hot Shutdown. ,
i 1.6.4 CONTAINMENT Pressure Co'ntrol/ Heat Removal The containment design pressure and temperature are 55 psig and ,
283*F. There are two 100%-capacity containment, spray pumps per unit which remove heat from containment. In addit. ion, there are ;
three emergency containment coolers for post-accident heat removal and three emergency filter units for iodine removal. (Only two of the three coolers and filters are required for a design basis .
accident.)
Hydrocen Control l
. There are two trains of post-accident hydrogen monito'rs. A l 1 portable hydrogen recombiner is available on contract from Duke ;
Power Company. It was installed and tested,during the 1991 DUO.

q need'for the five non-safety-related blackstart diesel generators l was eliminated recently following replacement of one of the motor-
- driven standby-steam generator pump with a diesel driven standby steam generator pump. The five blackstart diesel generators: are I no longer maintained by.the plant and are not available to power unit buses ,
DC Power ,
Four vital, 125-volt, DC busses (two per unit) each contain a i station battery and two battery chargers. These batteries are rated-for two hours. One spare station bettery can replace any of :
the existing four shared station batteries. ]
lilj. ion Blackout Resolution Status This issue has been reso.lved. A regional inspection was conducted ;
in February 1994. Currently, there are no outstanding issues. ,
Turkey Point is capable of maintaining both units in Hot Standby for an 8-hour station blackout duration, During this time, one of
~
l the four EDGs is capable of carrying the station blackout. loads for both the units. A station blackout tie between the units ;
connects the 3D and 4D 4160 VAC buses.
.1.6.6 SAFETY-RELATED COOLING WATER SYSTEMS
. Service Water (Intake 'Coolina Water)
Intake cooling water is supplied by three, 100%-capacity, safety- ;
related intake cooling water pumps per unit. Two redundant ;
headers are each sized for 100% flow. This system supplies cooling to three component cooling water heat exchangers. The water supply for the intake cooling water pumps-is from the closed cooling canal system. .
Closed Coolina Water System Component cooling water system consists of three 100%-capacity pumps per unit and three 50% capacity heat exchangers per unit.'
l.6.7 SPENT FUEL STORAGE
~
, -The site has two separate spent fuel. pool storage areas; one per unit. The licensee-installed high density racks to' increase the capacity from.four and 2/3 cores to nine cores (1404-fuel
- assemblies) per unit. This will provide for spent fuel storage through end of . life. The racks utilize boroflex in addition to i boron concentration of greater than 1950 ppm. ,

?,.6.8 INSTRUMENT AIR SYSTEM i
There.is one electric and one diesel powered air compressor per l unit which are capable of being cross-connected. The licensee recently implemented a design change to remove portable air compressors.
l 1.6.9 PROBABLISTIC RISK / SAFETY ASSESSMENT IPE and IPEEE were submitted in June 1991 and June 1994, respectively. Licensee updated IPE in 1995 and current CDF is 6.30E-05 with Small LOCA (30%) and LOOP /SB0 (17%) largest i contributors. Risk important systems include CCW, CVCS, AFW, RHR, J ICW, RPS, the EDGs, and the startup transformers.
1 1.7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES / PREPAREDNESS Emergency Operations Facility: General Office in Miami Technical Support Center: On Site ]
Operational Support Center: On Site The last annual emergency preparedness exercise, held on March 22, 1995, was considered,to be fully successful. The exercise was a full participation exercise with state and local governments. Within the scope of the observed exercise, the licensee fully demonstrated the '
capability of implementing its Emergency Plan and procedures to provide for the health and safety of on-site personnel' and off-site public. The !
residents and a regional team observed the exercise.
The next annual exercise is being planned for May 15, 1996. The next l NRC graded exercise is currently scheduled for February 1997. Full state and local participation is planned. FEMA will also observe and grade the exercise.

P L-A N T' PERSPECTIVE .j l
2.1 GENERAL PLANT PERSPECTIVE .
.The SALP presentation was conducted on October 6, 1994,.and the NRC U
- concluded that over the SALP period, Turkey Point's performance has.
significantly improved. This assessment indicated that superior
,. performance was attained in all functional areas. '
!' During the last SALP cycle, Unit 3 broke the previous Tu'rkey Point !
, record for continuous days on line. Unit 3 operated-for 252 days, and *
! Unit'4 operated for 204 days during the last cycle. During the current .
- . cycle, the. trend continues as the units set a dual unit record of 147 days prior to the Unit-3 refueling-shutdown. Unit 4 has operated for i
- 313 days. 1995 availability was the highest eve,r for both units. No j automatic trips occurred in 1995. '
l The last four refueling outages were conducted in,46, 45, 42 and 34 i days, respectively.. These time frames were shorter than the schedules, and' al1~ scheduled major work items were accomplished during these
- j. outages without any incidents inimical to public health and safety. ,

2.3.1 OPERATIONS.
- Plant operators typically performed in a professional and conservative manner with good communications when handling plant transients-and' routine plant' evolutions. This performance was exhibited during reactor. trips on both units, during unit' transients, during. reactor and. unit startups'and shutdowns, and

' .during refueling outages. .
.- ' Three automatic reactor trips occurred early (September '- December ,
1994).during this cycle...Causes included poor breaker cubicle ;
- . design causing . loss of 4C bus resulting in loss of power to rod < ,
, control cabinets,' a maintenance error.resulted in a loose link on
.the isophase bus causing a main generator ground, and a component i
failure causing the 3C Main Feedwater Control Valve to Fail ,
closed.- ,
b -
Two manual.' reactor trips occurred on unit 3 during 1995. Both ;
i were related to rod control problems: one was a power supply -!
- failure and the other was wetted circuit cards caused from a roof leak.
Management oversight and conservatism were generally good and t -
! assured safe unit operation. Conservative operating decisions l were made including power reductions to repair steam generator level control problems and condenser. tube leaks and restart ,
decisions. Additionally, management's decision to re-perform the l c Unit 4 integrated safeguards tests during the fall 1994 outage was -
!' noteworthy. Two examples of non-conservatism included a decision.
, to test an EDG immediately after another EDG was taken out of service for a short duration, minor repair and a lack of knowledge ;
i- of probabilistic safety' assessment and core damage frequency ,

[ Pump. ;
} -
Independent reviews by quality assurance, the safety review
, committees, and by third parties were effective and demonstrated a 1
- i. 1 strong safety attitude and perspective.
F
[ -
Root cause.and corrective action ~ programs were effective. Event
- ' review teams assembled to perform collective, multi-disciplined, real-time problem reviews were successful in identifying causes and proposing corrective actions.
Fuel handling processes and other outage activities were conducted conservatively and efficiently and without any incidnnts. The l licensee does not enter RCS midloop/ reduced inventory.during y scheduled refueling outages.

} -
An operating error during November 1994 integrated safeguards j . testing and poor control room oversight resulted.in two HHSI pumps being inadvertently placed in pull-to-lock. These issues were .
aggressively' addressed by plant management. , ;
i
.A new plant general manager, operations manager, and. operations !
- supervisor were selected in November 1994 also, a new~ site VP was selected'in November 1995. These changes have not affected any-1 performance-trends in the short term. .Recent changes in 1996 j
include a new licensing and training manager. '

- An abnormal number of valve mispositioning events and personnel errors. occurred in late 1995. This was recognized by management !
and aggressive corrective actions were taken. !
2.3.2 MAINTENANCE l Overall maintenance program management is a strength. The !
' effective processes in ~ place complimented by a well-qualified :
staff is evident during outage and non-outage maintenance ;
activities. !
~
Effective maintenance and backlog management resulted in continued ,
reductions in both the size and age of the backlog.
Coordination and cooperation between maintenance organization and i other groups remains a significant strength.
Examples of good maintenance performance included efforts related I to the reactor v0sel work during outages, EDG troubleshooting, reactor protection system relay and' breaker maintenance, and other i observed activities in the field. l
- 1 A problem in the snubber surveillance documentation area was I identified by the NRC. A lack of program oversight and sloppy record keeping contributed to the problem.
A Unit 4 reactor trip on November 30,"1994, was caused by both a poor procedure and a maintenance personnel error related to the main generator to iso-phase bus flexible links. However, this was not a negative reflection of the organization.' No other maintenance-related trips occurred in the recent past. -
Recent. issues with' the steam generator level control system have
,resulted in one trip due to an I/P component failure and in several power reductions to repair failed components . An instrumentatioit and control error resulted in one Unit 3 power reduction. The licensee is pursuing long-term actions for equipment aging and spare parts availability.
Rework in the maintenance area is receiving more attention by the :
establishment of a formal tie with.the technical department to i review items identified as repetitive maintenance and determine whether further root cause analysis is warranted. -
w .
Plant work order backlog, number of control room deficiency tags, and the number of control room instruments out-of-service are low.
- - Control of contractors is generally good. However, one instance of poor control'resulted in a heater drain pump trip and minor
- unit transient. .
t
.- a
g- i 11 The licensee has 'mbarked e on a preventative maintenance (PM) ,
optimization project. This entails reviewing all- PMs on a system ;
basis and determining through prior experience (both in- '
house / external) and vendor data if the PM frequency needs to be optimized (i.e., changed).. There have been many cases where the ,
PM frequency has been reduced. The inspectors plan to be following this issue to note any negative impact on plant safety as a result of the frequency reductions.
The maintenance organization has absorbed the site construction (projects) group, and personnel changes have included a new maintenance manager and mechanical supervisor.
Recent I&C issues and personnel errors resulted in a management initiated stop work (November 1995). Licensee corrective actions were aggressive, and in the short term appear effective.
2.3.3 ENGINEERING Good team work was apparent between engineering and other site l crganizations.- Engineers from design, technical support, and maintenance organizations worked together effectively to assure proper design, installation, and testing of each modification.
Management of engineering backlog was effective. The backlogs of l requests for engineering assistance, plant change / modifications, and nonconformance reports were reduced in size, appropriately prioritized, and closely monitored by station management.
Strong design and system engineering programs provided good '
support to operations and maintenance. System engineers were well .
qualified and exercised full responsibility for the condition of their assigned systems.
l -
Continued reductions in temporary system alterations, lighted annunciators in the control room, and other operator " work l
- arounds" reduced the potential for operator errors.
A unit 3 high CCW flow issue was self-identified; however,
!- corrective actions were not timely.
An emergency load sequencer des'ign deficiency (would not function at times) was attributed to poor design review and testing.
!' Modifications were done on unit 3 (1995) and are planned for )
! unit 4 (1996).
J
. A design deficiency in a non-vital bus breaker cubicle door i- concurrent with a rod control power failure caused a reactor trip.
~
Effects of the recent departures of the~ Technical and Engineering ,
Manager-(12/95 and 2/96) are to be assessed.

12 2.3.4 PLANT SUPPORT Radiolooical Controls
- Performance in the radiological controls area continued at a high level, and.the ALARA program was effective in reducing doses both during outages and routine operations.
1994 and 1995 personnel exposures were low. 1995 was 215 Rem, including 174 Rem, for the unit 3 refueling. outage.
- Contamination control programs facilitated maintaining internal exposures well below regul-atory limit's by effectively maintaining
.a relatively low contaminated floor area.
An aggressive waste management program exists which is minimizing the generation and storage of any radioactive wastes. ,
Radiological effluents were well managed, and releases were only a j small fraction of the regulatory limits. In March 1995, the l licensee received a NCV for lack of monitoring of canal I grass. algae for radioactivity. "
- Instances of high rad door left open and unmarked (posted) high radiation trash occurred. Licensee actions were appropriate.
Chemistry A chemistry technician (vendor) error caused a minor spill in the radwaste building.
A chemistry technician's failure to follow procedure resulted in leaving open a non-automatic containment valve.
Primary and secondary chemistry parameters continue to meet site I goals. This ensures a low fission product inventory and minimal steam generator tube problems.
Security e
An OSRE (January 1994) found some concerns with the protected area, vital area, and officer response. The licensee has addressed these issues, and the OSRE returned in June 1995 and confirmed these corrective actions.
Overall performance continue to be strong. However, in January 1995, the licensee identified a loss of control of safeguards '
material at corporate storage facilities; and in September 1995 a clerk . inputted false data relative to drug testing. .

l.
13' Fire Protection The number of fire protection impairments has been reduced significantly.
~
In response to the Bulletin No. 92-01 on thermo-lag, the licensee installed video coverage of thermo-lag areas and provided roving fire watches.
- Emeraency Preoaredness Emergency preparedness performed well during the 1992 hurricane and during the last three annual exercises.
The EP program continues to function well despite recent personnel losses and changes.

- 1995. There are 20 entry level career path operators who completed an ANPO class. Another class of ~20 licensed operator candidates began in
- the spring of 1995. - The next exam is scheduled for June- 17, 1996.
While'there has been some post-Hurricane Andrew departure of operators, Ethe licensee is still projected to continue with a six-shift rotation.
The licensee transferred-10 operators (1 R0 and 9 NL0s) to St. Lucie as NL0s. The licensee filled these Turkey Point openings. ,
'4.2 WORK' FORCE The turnover rate increased following the onset of Hurricane Andrew on
. ~ August ~24, 1992, and it remained at a constant level for about one' year.
The site turnover involved 175 licensee employees, including 19 from operations. A licensee wide staff reduction on October 1,1993, reduced the Turkey Point work force by 27, and another reduction in November 1995 reduced the work force by 41.

Decembw 1995 and the results wwe genwsu rfeverable. An SER should be issued in February 1996 cissing out this issue.
FPL submitted a thermal uprate request in late 1995 and requested approval by October 1996. The uprate request is from 2200 MWlunit to 2300 MWlunit themet. The uprate request is currently under review.
.. The licenses requested a fire protection exemption to adow the use of thermo lag se a 30 minute barrier (thermal shisid) b certain outdoor applications. An extensive request for additionslinformation was sent to the licensee in late 1994 and FPL responded in late 1995. The request is under review and a site visit by the technical staff will be conducted this spring to assist in evolusting the request.

e The most.significant concern is the number of management changes '
which have occurred since late 1994 through 1996, including Site
- VP, Plant Manager, Operations Manager, Engineering Manager, i Training Manager, and Licensing Manager. No negative effects have been observed to date. -
e Unit 3 operated at power last six months except for the refueling outage (9/4-10/7/95) and a manual reactor trip when water shorted rod control cards causing a drop of 4 rods (10/17/95). The unit operated very well following the startup from the outage.'
-e Unit 4 operated at power since 3/12/95. A planned 32 day
' refueling outage starts 3/4/96.
e Overall performance continues to be strong. 1995 was best year i ever (eg, highest availability, no auto trips, best outage 4 performance, lowest exposure, etc.)
e A few instances of personnel errors / lack of attention to detail i have occurred. Management has been aggressive in dealing ~with these.

conservative decisions, very good corrective action.
1 o Licensee has appropriately addressed a few non-lic.ensed personnel errors caused by a lack of attention to detail and poor self-checking. These errors resulted in minor configuration control problems to mostly non-safety systems.
. 1 o Continued reduced inspections is recommended over the next 6 months with emphasis on corrective actions relative to personnel errors and effects of management changes.
i III. B. Maintenance o Overall very good performance consistent with last SALP.
e Performance during outages, low backlogs, strong coordination, and very good performance indicators continues.
e I&.C personnel errors and other related' performance concerns ,
resulted in a plant management "stop work" for two days in !
November 1995. I 1
e Corrective actions addressing valve manipulations, oversight, self-checking (STAR) were aggressive.
e Continued reduced inspection is recommended with DRS assistance in core inspection procedures and emphasis on I&C maintenance / surveillance, including corrective action effectiveness.
C. Engineering e Overall performance continues to be strong, consistent with last SALP. )
e Teamwork, engineering backlogs, operations and maintenance support, system, system engineers and design engineering continue to be strengths.
e Technical and Engineering Managers retigned (12/95 and 2/96).
e Software related modifications were required to correct i problems not fcund during V&V (emergency load sequencer and containment rad monitors).
- Continue reduced inspection is recommended with'DRP/DRS ,
emphasis on effects of management changes and sot? ware modifications and corrective actions.

SALP. REPORT - TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT l
50-250/94-99 AND 50-251/94-99 i I. BACKGROUND h The SALP' Board convened on Septemoer 8,.1994, to assess the nuclear
. safety performance of Turkey-Point Units-3 and 4 for the period 2 January 31, 1993, through August 27, 1994. The' Board was conducted per
- Management Directive 8.6, " Systematic Assessment of' Licensee Performance." Board members were Bruce A'. Boger (Board Chairperson),
~
1 Acting Director, Division of Reactor Projects; Albert F. Gibson,.
Director, Division of Reactor Safety; J. Philip Stohr, Director, Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards and Herbert N. Berkow,
' Director, Project Directorate II-3, NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor l Regulation. This assessment was reviewed and approved by Stewart D.
l Ebneter, Regional Administrator. NRC Region II.
l .
II. PLANT OPERATIONS ,
! This functional area addresses the control and execution of activities directly related to operating the plant. .It includes activities such as
~
- plant startup, power operation, plant shutdown, and response to i transients. It also includes initial and requalification training j= - programs for licensed cperators.
! Overall performance in the Plant Operations area remained superior during this-assessment period. Operator performance was excellent.
Operator training programs were strong, as evidenced by exam results and j performance during unit startups, shutdowns,. and events. Operations was L well supported by management, maintenance, engineering, and plant-support organizations. Teamwork among these groups was effective, as
,; indicated by strong outage performance, testing and maintenance activities, and special and infrequent tests or evolutions where multi-j disciplined groups were effectively integrated. Operators responded in
- a timely and effective manner during abnormal conditions and' unit
. transients such as main condenser tube leaks, turbine generator
. problems, and moisture separator drain line steam leaks. Operators were
- also alert and proactive in addressing abnormal equipment indications
- and associated problems including reactor coolant pump seal problems, a i pressurizer manway leak, and main generator voltage fluctuations. In addition, operators performed very well during planned and short-notice outages.
Management oversight.and. conservatism were exemplary and assured safe i unit operation. Conservative operating decisions were made to remove a
- unit from service to. repair degraded equipment well before potential j - failures or approaching applicable technical specification limits.
Examples' included cold shutdowns to repair a leaking pressurizer manway and a leaking pressurizer spray valve. Effective management oversight-
.and conservatism were evidenced by the thorough unit restart readiness verification process' used in returning each unit to service following ~
refueling' outages.
e

'Indepenoent reviews by. quality assurance and the : safety review comittees were effective and demonstrated- a strong safety attitude. and -
perspective. For example. auality assurance performed a review of :
operational problems and effectively identified root causes and- ;
corrective actions. The onsite'and offsite safety review committees ;
conducted comprehensive self-assessments, especially during reviews of equipment degradation and prior to unit startups from refueling.
Root'cause and corrective action programs were effective. Event review teams were assembled to. perform collective, multi-disciplined, real-time ,
_ problent reviews. These teams were successful in identifying causes and proposing corrective actions. Examples included moisture separator drain line steam leaks, reactor trips, emergency core cooling system ;
minimum flow problems, and emergency containment cooler valve failures. ;
-The licensee's commitment to risk management was evident.
Troublesnooting activities which could place the units at risk were controlled by the "reo sheet" process. This assured that a well thought-out, detailed. precise plan was in place prior to commencing ,
work and that management had reviewed and concurred'in the process. -
Infrequently performed tests and' evolutions were also controlled by a speciai administrative procedure with requirements for a pre-evolution i briefing and oversight by an appointed test director and manager.
Management conservatism and-commitment to reduce shutdown risk were noted by the practice of completely offloading the reactor core prior to beginning mid-loop operations. During a refueling outage, a risk'
. assessment team was initiated to review critical path evolutions, safety system availability, and risk. This team made recommendations to change
~
the outage sequence in order to minimize overall risk.
Operators generally displayed strong attention to detail with good l supervisory oversight. ' However, late 'in 1993', several instances of poor 1 control room oversight resulted in a reactor trip, an overdilution event, and other noted errors. These issues were partially caused by poor communications and a lack of self-checking. Management .
aggressively addressed these instances by emphasizing expectations that all-personnel meet a high standard of performance and accountability, relocating the Assistant Nuclear Plant Supervisors into the controls area, and improving oversight of non-licensed operators. These actions
- were effective, as evidenced by strong personnel and' unit performance
during the .1ast six months of the assessment period.
The Plant Operations area is rated Category.1.
l i III; MAINTENANCE .
This functional, area assesses. activities assoc'iated with diagnostic, .
predictive, preventive, and corrective maintenance of plant' structures,
, systems, and components. It also includes all. surveillance testing and .
other tests associated with equipment and system operability. Overall performance in this a'rea was superior during this period.
-w4 .
3 Overall maintenance program management was a strength during this period, as exemolified by effective processes' ano well-qualified staff.
Management actions were effective in eliminating past SALP-identified weaknesses involving the quality of work and surveillances. Management involvement and conservative management decisions were evident.
The licensee has addressed identified weaknesses in mainter,ance work quality through individual counselling, procedural ennancem nts, and process improvements. Peer verification and self-checking pr.ograms were also initiated to reduce the personnel error rate. These management actions have been effective in improving performance in this area.
Performance in the surveillance area improved during this period in that personnel and procedural weaknesses were effectively addressed.
Notwithstancing the improved performance. there were still some surveillance-related proolems: the most significant of which was caused by a lack of aceouate crogram oversight and attention to detail. This resulted in a number of misseo valve surveillance tests. However, the licensee identified the problem near the end of the SALP period and took effective followup actions.
Effective maintenance work backlog management resulted in continued reductions in both the size and age of the backlog during this period.
Specifically, the non-outage corrective maintenance plant work order (PWO) backlog, PW0s greater than 12 months .old, control room deficiency tags, and out-of-service control room instruments continued to decrease as they have during the previous two SALP periods. In1 addition, performance has been better than the licensee's established goals.
' These are strong indications of effective backlog management.
Excellent coordination a'nd cooperation both within the maintenance organization and with other groups was a significant strength. This was a major contributor both to the maintenance and operations performance.
This was illustrated by the repair of a leak on the Unit 4 spare control rod drive mechanism canopy seal, repair of a failed component cooling water system outlet isolation valve associated with the 3C emergency containment cooler, and troubleshooting of a July 1993 relay f ailure while performing containment isolation periodic tests. These efforts were characterized by excellent planning, interdisciplinary teamwork, management oversight, high quality work, and timely completions. Two exceptions to this good performance were a reactor coolant system pressurization prior to completion of seal table leak repairs as'a result of poor work control and communications weaknesses and a safety-related cable pull performed without calculating the pull stress during 3B charging pump work. These lapses were isolated occurrences; and, 'in bcth cases, aggressive and effective followup and corrective actions were taken.
Maintenance made sign'ificant contributions to excellent equipment reliability and plant availability. No instrumentation and control (I&C)-relatea trips occurred during the period. Maintenance has been
4 n -
i'
-4 1- completed in a-timely manner with good quality, contributing to safe and'
. efficient refueling outages.and minimizing plant. transients. -
4 Some examples of superior maintenance performance include the efforts
!- related to auxiliary feeowater, intake' cooling water, startup 4 transformer, and main feedwater pump. check valve maintenance during F . September'- October 1993: preventative and corrective maintenance as I well as troubleshooting on the reactor' protection system (RPS), l
< 1 ate.1993; corrective maintenance on valve packing, RPS relays, SI . .
motor, and spent fuel pool components in early 1994; motor-operated l
. valve EDG, reactor vessel, erosion / corrosion, and fuel up-ender work in l 4
c April 1994; and I&c troubleshooting of rod position indication problems l t in October of 1993.
Exceptions to this excellent performance included a Unit 4 shutdown to .
1 repair a corrosion-inducea thimble tube leak on the incore instrument l 2 system that was most likely caused by improper cleaning of the seal-
! table area during a previous outage. Also, a lack of attention to..'
- detail and inadequate procedures led to high reactor cavity seal leakage
- due to missing studs on nuclear instrumentation covers during the 1993 j Unit 4 refueling outage. I Many power reductions and some unit shutdowns have been necessary during t this period as a result of balance-of-plant (BOP) problems. The root causes of the individual events were assessed; however, collective
'; causes of and corrective actions for possible challenges to operators l and safety systems resulting from BOP equipment failures or degradation !
- are of concern.. Potential. inadequacies relative to equipmant aging, i maintenance, and design should continue to be addressed. l I
'- The Maintenances area is rated Category 1. )
l IV.- ENGINEERING ,
i This functional area includes activities associated with the design of ,
+
plant modifications and engineering support for operations, maintenance, s and outage activities. Performance in this area continued to improve and was an important contribution to good performance in other
. functional areas. Management oversight'and control were- effective'in improving perfomance.
Good teamwork was apparent between engineering and other site
. organizations. For example, engineering design priorities were set by a Plant Review Board which included the. Site Vice President and the Ma'iagers of Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering. This process
- assured'that the resultant plant modifications met the needs of user organizations. . Engineers ~ from design, technical support, and construction organizations worked together effectively to assure proper
? design, installation, and testing of each modification. Design
' modification packages were critiqued before 'and after implementation.

- Strong. design and system engineering' programs provided good support to l i operations and maintenance. System engineers were well qualified and i L exercised full responsibility for the condition of their assigned i
- systems. Plant performance was improved b'y implementing the >
.. recommendations'of reliability improvement teams. Continued' reductions in temporary system altirations, lighted annunciators in the control :
- room, .and other operator " work arounds" reduced the potential for ;
operator errors. <
. Weaknesses in contractor oversight that.were evident during i the previous SALP period were corrected during this assessment period. A task force was established and corrective actions implemented to strengthen vendor !
4 interfaces. The licensee continued to reduce dependence bn contractors
~
l l for engineering services.
j Engineering performance was improved by strong s' elf-assessment efforts c which identified areas for improvement. Effective corrective actions i were taken to address the self-assessment findings. Weaknesses in engineering performance identified in the previous SALP period were corrected, and performance measures were established and monitored to assure that challenging goals were met.
, The Engineering area is rated Category 1.
V. PLANT SUPPORT i
The Plant Support functional area addresses all activities related to radiological controls, emergency preparedness, security, plant r
chemistry, fire protection, and plant housekeeping.
Performance' in th's radiological controls area continued at a high level.
The as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) program was effective in reducing doses, both during outages and . routine operations. Effective ALARA activities during this period included the use of mockup training,
! source' term reduction efforts associated with. plant chemistry, and the L installation of non-Stellite parts and equipment. Also,' person-rem managers were assigned by individual departments to enhance ALARA efforts.-- As a result, the 1993 personnel exposures were tha lowest
.since the beginning of p.lant operation. The 1994 Unit 3 retualing outage collectie dose was controlled to well within the case goal for the outage work. Contamination control programs facilitated maintaining
- s. . internal exposures, well below regulatory limits by effectively
. maintaining a rep.cively low contaminated floor area. A well run respiratory' protection program also contributed. Respirator usage was
l l
4 4.
{: 6
. reduced as part of the effort-to reduce total effective exposure,
^
without an appreciable increase in internal' exposures. During the
- 1 period, there were some isolated cases of failure to follow radiation
-work. procedures associated with personnel dosimetry and radioactive
. material control. requirements for which corrective actions were promptly implemented. An aggressive waste management program was implemented which resulted in minimizing the generation and storage of dry radioactive wastes. Radiological effluents were well managed; and ;
' releases were only a small fraction of the regulatory limits, as i verified by the environmental monitoring program. A weakness was j identified in the program for measuring certain beta emitting i radionuclides in liquids. The weakness included unexplained biases in ;
some measur ements and inadequate procedures and training for staff, but i F this was not significant regarding environmental doses. Improvements ,
i were made to the meteorological monitoring equipment with the addition :
of supplemental power supplies and the upgrading of the electrical !
switching ecuipment. Radiological controi program audits were well i planned, thorough, and well documented and followuo actions were timely 1 l with items tracked to completion. j l Performance in the emergency preparedness area continued to be strong.
i With good management support, the emergency preparedness training program maintained excellent response proficiency. This was reflected j in excellent performance during the full participation exercise during i this period in which the emergency facilities were activated and staffed ;
- properly, events were properly classified. and notifications were timely and proper with appropriate protective action recommendations. Also, the response to an actual event during this period was appropriate and j
, in accordance with the Emergency . Plan. Emergency facilities and i equipment were maintained in an excellent manner. Communications e
enhancements . included the installation of a high frequency radio system :
.and an upgrading of the containme'nt public address system. The !
emergency preparedness audit program, including the exercise critique process, was considered a strength. Corrective actions wera m nd and j
, timely. . Interactions with offsite agencies were effective, a good
- working relations were maintained with State and local agencies. l i
, Performance in the physical security area continued at.a superior level. !
Security training was effective, trainers were knowledgeable, and an ;
j extensive array of training materials and equipment was available. l Management support for this area was evidenced by the new firing range j and training building. The Security, Contingency, Training, and . ,
- Qualification Plans and implementing procedures were maintained current.
< Access controls were well maintained, and the new hand geometry access control program was effectively implemented. The number of loggable
, security incidents trended downward during the period and was 4
reflective, in part, of good testing and maintenance support for the security equipment. Alarm assessment aids were enhanced with the
- ' installation of an. improved model of' video capture. equipment, reducing the number of false and nuisance alarms. Security audits were thorough
- and detailed. The fitness-for-duty -(FFD) program was a strength. The
. FFD staff was well trained and qualified, collection facility operations 9
4 7
were well run, procedures were good, conservat1ve screening' levels were set, and_ program audits were effective.
The fire protection program performance was generally good. During the i period. the fire brigace responced to four actual fires with the response being timely ano effective in extinguishing the fires. One.of .
I the fires was outside of the protected area at the McGregor substation, and this led to interaction with offsite support. During the earlier portion of the period there were some instances of lack of attention to detail associated with failure to establish fire watches, an inadequate fire plan, and a failure to control combustible material. However, :
- these weaknesses were not observed later in the period.
Overall, housekeehing was good. with a noted improvement in the latter portion of the period.
The Plant Support area is rated Category 1.

Dear Employee:
It has been my pracuce not to respond to comments appearingin the media.
However, the false and rmlaarifrig arucles in the Palm Beach Post in the last several l
- months and. ruost recently, in Sunday's edition, demmd a reply. l 1
! I am deeply concemed that the Sunday arucle misrepresents my atotude and
! the attitude of semor management toward employees. Even worse, many of the
! arucles demean your signhnt accomplishments.
l The Post would have pu beliew that I view employees as lazy and
, unmouvated. Further, that upon resoing a book entitled ' Danger in the Comfort l Zone." 1 *sent copics to managers' and encouraged them to ' increase job a Ay" in j the workforce.
i .
l Nothing could be further from the truth. I have always prassed our employees to the Board of Directors, our ofBeers. our shareholders, and the com-a4*y. I i consider you to be capable and dedicated, as demonstrated by your many
- achievements. -
The author of the book rde. d to in the Sunday ardele is.one of many
. pauvvcative business wnters and thinkers w have invited to address our senior 4
managsment in the past few years. Invittra them to speak to us, however, does not mean that I. or anyone else, endorse their ideas. Moreover, I did not distribute to managers the book id ..d to in the ardele or suggest that anyone else do so. And I
! most certainly never suggested that anyone atternpt to increase your = --Nr. which already is high because of the new bnain*== environment czested by recent federal
. laws and reyda'iaan. In fact, I would ma=ddar such a suggestion callous and reprehenstble.

! -In order to be successfulin the new business, environment. we have had to

- these changes, many jobs have been elim2nated.-The acnons we have **a- though i
pasnful, are necessary for the financial wil be2ng and very survrval of the company.
! None of us wants to end up like Eastem Airlines or Southeast Bank. The Pahn I Beach Post seems unws111n5 or unable to recogn2ze either the problems we have overcome or the *llmges we are facing.
i A newspaper should be a construcuve force in the community. In contrast, the j Pakn Beach Post has long mamfested a negatne and confrontational attitude.
j especsally toward business.. For example:
~
m The Post did not applaud your outstanding work on Hurncane Andrew as did other Florida and national media.
i
- a It never prassed us for being the only utdity in the country where all nuclear piants received tb' e highest performance ratings, yet it gave front 1 page prominence to the recent problenn at St. Lucie.
i i a Instead o'f thanking you for your eHorts dunng Tropical Storm Gordon, it
- ran an article saying we would probably rasse rates because our i employees were paid for overtime.
i e it has not grven you sneident credit for holding the line a==ia=r race

i \
l 1:nfortunately, I thmk we can +T more of the same from the Post in the l funsre.
t i Nothing can recufy the harm causec by an irressmsible front-page nenpaper l arucle. but I do hope this leuer sets the record straagst.
l I am grateful to you for accepung the need for change and working toe

Turkey Point 23 THEHERALD. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7.1994 o
rated lughly in U.S. report By AMINDA MARQUES GONZALEZ Herand Staff Wnier The Turkey Point nucient power olant. which spent more than three years on a federal
" watch list
- of problem plants.
has earned a supenor ratmg from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The agency's report covers operations at Flone.a Pow-er & Light's South Dt de plant 4
between Jan. 31.1993, and Aug.
27.1994 The agency examined plant .
operations, maintenance', engs-r ' neenng and plant support. giving the Turkey Poiht supenor marks in all four.
There are i10 nuclear reactors' nationwioc. l "It's a signincant turnaround.'
said Bruce A. Boger. cnatrman or I the evaluating boaro and acting director of the NRC's division or reai: tor projects. "Their manag- .
ers have set high expectations l and demanded accountability to i those standards. The plant work. I ers have responded." i From June 1987 to February 1990. the plant was on the NRC's
" watch list"- meaning it was in danger of being shut down unless it improved. Since then. the com- ,
l pany has improved its rating 1 every year.
Not everyone was optimistic about the results.
Jim Riccio. staff attornev with the Ralph Nader Pubhc Citizen's entical mass energy project. said i the NRC's evaluation system was i downsized this year. going from seven categories to tour. That, along with the ratings - in which the lowest score is " accept-able" - doesn't make for an i
" accurate picture of what as really happening at nucicar reactors, he said.
"When you're taking a test that no one can fail, how can vou really judge?" he said.
From 1990 to 1992. Public Cit-izen' did its own studv. wnich looked at both the NRC reports as well as evaluations performeo by the enoustry 33upponed insti- .
tute of Nuclear Power Opera-tions which tended to be more
' entical. The institute's repons -
are not public. but Riccio said it found "maior discrecancies."
"We think the NRC is lookinc througn rose coloreo glasses at these reactors and trymg to por-trav a rosv image to Wall Street."

Summers ahways are busy for Wasilewsni and fellow Diologist Brett Cavaliero. But cunng this summers hatoning season, theyve j stnved to tag more than 300 young crocs, actiosing the recore cf 3
181 in igg 3. In tne process. they've discovered 15 new nest sites, i up from s:x in 1989.
Captunng young, newcom crocaciles means spenoing tong nours 1 l late at night in the mucxy water where they have hatoned. shming flashlights under mangroves looking for the pin sized runy 4: reflecnons of croccolle eyes.
J "Some nights we don't see them, but we can smell them - it's a .
musk." said Wasdowski, one of South Rorida's cast known l .
herpetologists or rept!!e experts.
Wattlewski can steer an airtoat within a few feet of a baby j
. croc, run down the lengtn of the boat anc grac the regule with one 4
hane from tne balmy water whidt ranges from 85 degrees to 100 l degress, capanomg en wnere it is in the nue: car plant's canal j necxisce. .
j With the nummer 300 spinning in their hesos. Cavaliero and i
airDost medianic Stuart Lloyd have spent hours being bitten ey .
i me-a'aos and caer dies searching for new crocodile Dables. They j finally reached their tagging gosi July 24.
"We go out there and try to snatch them up as quick as we can, j the day they hatch " Cavaliero said. "Hopeiutly, we can get them ;
right away before they are satan up (by precators), mark 'em, weigh !
l 'em, measure and release 'em."
On one recent humid July night, Wasilewski checked on his
- cohorts as they tooled around in a little boat on a pond that
! produced pianty of offspnng last season.
l Wasilewski dirsoted them from the snore to the tiny crocociles j
ludcing in the water around them. After severat failed attempts by
- Cavaliero to get to an etusive baby croc. Westlewski weenng a ,
l Blackhawks hockey jersey from his native Chicago - plunged waist l l
deep into the pond and grabbed the infant. l j "That was dangerous because a mother crocodile could be close l l ,
by," said Ray Golden, an FPL spokesman along for the excursion. l j The modest comeback of the crocacile in Flonda has some Keys l i
- residents warned about their safety.
l Wasilewski says there's no need to fear. Unilke their alligator I
cousins or man 4 sting namesakes in Austratta. Afdca and Asia, i Amencan crocodiles are doods.
! "I'm gong to use the word gentle. They are potentially j dangerous cut they are shy," Wo.silewski s. aid.

- agitated. Wasilewsni has founo that the babies' cnirps are crucist for a motner crococile in locanng her young when it is time to
! haten.
After the mother crocodile lays nor eggs in Apni, sne retums In the summer to the overgrown nesting spot. Nightly, sne wdl come .
- and pound her front feet on the sod until she hears her Dabies 4 chirpmg.
- "We've seen her do it, it's pretty amazing," Cavaliero said.
- "Sha'll hear her Daoles and she'll open up the nest. She'll then i
take the eggs and swish them around in her mouth unni they'll i hatch right there and she'll take them cown to tne water."
j Wasilewaxi saio that in many July ne saw a mother leaving her j nest. Hoping to get all the young at once for tagging, ne scrameled i up the barm.
"I tapped the grounc and it was like an explosion." Wamiewski said. "I opened them up and every single one of them hatched."
But most of Wesdowskra loving care goes for not. Only 10 l percent of the baby crocodiles he tags win survive the first year.
l Most fait prey to raccons, crabs. fish and birds of prey.
i To give tnam a fighting chance, he retums the bacies to
==Wei% ponds with lots of cover.
- "We won't know the full extent of their survival rate for all i the ones rve been doing for about i 3 years," said.Wesdowski.
- "I'm kind of like Johnny Appleseed."

} By The Assomated Press i To the casual observer, tne Amancan crocacile and alligator may i seem very much alike, cut their cifferences nave allowed the ,
proliferanon of one, while another still struggles as an )
encangerea specres. !
l j AMERICAN CROCODILE:
$ COLOR: Grey or olive crac with yeyow undersics. Doesnt change -
color from hatchs!!ng to aduit.
- DEMEANOR
- Compared to'cousms in Australia, Africa and Asia, j American crocaciles are almost gentie. They are secretive, shying i away frem numana and popmated areas ano are faster than i alligators. There is no known case of a human ceing attackoo by an l l Amancan crococile. .
! ENVIRONMENT: Settwater c:astal regions. In North Amanca, wners
, j i it is on the endangered spectas, crocs are found only in South - 1
- Florida, but they also can be found in Hispaniola, Cuba, Memco and i along the coasts of central and northem Soutn Amence.
i FACE: Flat snout that comes to a point with fourth tooth in lower jaw visible wnen mouth is closed. :
j NESTING: O!gs nest in loose soil. Retums to dig up oggs and i make sure they haten, but then quickly leaves young to feno for themselves.
HEIGHT and WEIGHT: Seldom weighs more than 400 pounds and can
- grow up to 13 feet.
i AMERICAN ALLIGATOR:
COLOR: Black with white arouno laws and underside. Hatchelings are clack with yellow stripes, but loses stripes as adults.
l DEMEANOR: More aggressive than crocodiles, gators will venture
- . Into populated areas dudng mating season. Known to attack humans
! and small domestic pets.
- ENVIRONMENT: Freshwater. Once threatenea with extinction because of their preooua hidea, alligators now are 1.5 million strong anc
! can be found from the Carolinas to Rorida to Louisiana and Texas.
!- FACE: Snout rounes off.
i NESTING: Build nest out of vegetation to cresta a berm. Mother
- stays with young after hatching and often carries them on her snout.
HEIGHT ana WEIGHT: Thougn shorter than crocodiles at 12 feet, j' . adgetors are heftier at about 660 pounes.

- FPL will appeal secretary oflabor ruling
! on diehaeged employee i.
l JUNO BEACH, Pla. - Morida Power & Light Company said today it wdl appeal a ruling by the 1*.S. Secretary oflabor that reinstates a nuclear division employee d8.chavyd by FPL in 1991.
l Nuclear Divisson President Jerry Goldberg savs FPL believes the Secretary of
- Labor had no Jepi basis to reverse a thorough, first hand investiption conducted by 4 a labor depaztment investiptor followed by a deilad judicial heanng. Both the i
! investiptor and the labor judge decided in favor of FPL. The judge conducted a
! four<ity heanns in the case and took into account the testimony of 20 wimesses.
1 FPL discharged the employee in August,1991 for refusing to undergo A
$ psychological screening, part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's " Fitness For Duty" requhernents. These requzrements ensure that personnel are mentally and l
physically cornpetent to perform work at a nuclear power plant in order to pww public health and safety.
The appeal will be filed with the federal district appellate court in Adanta.
