The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a planned license amendment requests (LAR) for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point) to transition to a 24-month fuel cycle. The licensee also plans to submit another planned LAR which modifies the spent fuel pool criticality analysis in support of transition to a 24-month fuel cycle. The meeting notice and agenda, dated November 17, 2022, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22326A034. A list of attendees is provided in the enclosure.

License Amendments 263 and 258 (ML15166A320) which approves adoption of the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-425.

License Amendments 295 and 288 (ML21119A355) which approves adoption of Containment Leak Rate Frequency Extension in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 94-01, Revision 3A.

Revised Frequencies for Steam Generator Tube Inspections in accordance with TSTF-577. This request is currently under review by the NRC staff, as part of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ITS) conversion.

Proposed Licensing Actions and Schedules:

o Spent Fuel Pool Criticality LAR:

Incorporates fuel management changes.

Updated to fully comply with latest guidance.

o Transition to 24-Month Fuel Cycle LAR:

Fuel design change technical justifications.

Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) and Balance of Plant (BOP) analyses updates.

Instrument drift (in accordance with GL 91-04).

Technical Specifications (TS), TS Bases and Core Operating Limit Report (COLR) markups.

o Exemption for use of AXIOM Cladding.

Methodology and Approach:

o ADOPT Fuel Introduction Use of WCAP-18482-P.

o AXIOM Cladding:

Use of WCAP-18546-P.

Use of AXIOM cladding requires an exemption from 10 CRF 50.46.

o FSLOCA Re-analysis:

Approved May 2022 for Turkey Point.

o Non-LOCA Re-analysis:

No changes to analysis models or methods, except Rod Ejection.

Majority of Non-LOCA event to be reanalyzed.

o Spent Fuel Pool Criticality Analysis:

Incorporate fuel management changes as result of 24-month cycle:

Burnable absorbers.

Soluble boron during depletion.

Axial profiles.

Other fuel design input, such as fuel density.

Use of NEI-12-16, Revision 4, as endorsed by RG 1.240.

There were three members of the public in attendance. They had no questions or feedback.
