Subsequent mass spectroscopy analysis conducted at 1228, on September 8, 2007, indicated small levels of lithium, boron, strontium, and bromine indicating that the source of the water intrusion into the thermowell was likely reactor coolant system (RCS) fluid.</br>Turkey Point Unit 3 Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.6.2.a permits no reactor coolant system pressure boundary leakage. As a result of the chemical analysis and indication of fluid in the thermowell, this condition is being reported to the NRC pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) as a degraded condition. An investigation of the source of the water intrusion into the thermowell is ongoing. Leakage into the TE-3-420 was previously noted during the last refueling outage for Unit 3 in March 2006 and a Short Notice Outage (SNO) conducted in June 2007. Previous inspections and sampling did not indicate the presence of boron or activity levels that were consistent with RCS water.</br>At the time of discovery, Turkey Point Unit 3 was in Operational Mode 6 (Refueling). Turkey Point Unit 3 is presently defueled.</br>This is a late prompt notification. The NRC Resident inspector will be notified.e NRC Resident inspector will be notified. +
