Dear Mr.Eisenhut:

Re: TURKEY.POINT UNITS 3 6 4 DOCKET NOS.50-250 6 50-251 RCS PRESSURE ISOLATION The attached information is submitted in response to your letter of February 23, l980 on the subject of LWR primary coolant system pressure isolation valves.Very truly yours, Robert E.Uhrig Vice President Advanced Systems S Technology REU/MAS/GG/

VTC/pa Attachment cc: J.P.O'Reilly, Region II Harold Reis, Esctuire 8001g00 PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE ATTACHMENT Re: TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 6 4 DOCKET NOS.50-250 6 50-251 RCS PRESSURE ISOLATION NRC REQUEST 1 Describe the valve configuration at your plant and indicate if an Event V isolation valve configuration exists within the Class I boundary of the high pressure piping connecting PCS (Primary Coolant System)piping to low pressure system piping;e.g., (1)two check valves in series, or (2)two check valves in series with a MOV.FPL RESPONSE 1.Attached are two simplified flow diagrams showing the isolation valve configurations identified as Event V arrangements.

for Turkey Point Units 3&4, respectively.

NRC REQUEST 2 If either of the above Event V configurations exist at your facility, indicate<<hethercontinuous surveillance or periodic tests are being accomplished on such valves to ensure integrity.

Also indicate whether valves have been known, or found, to lack integrity.

FPL RESPONSE 2.Specific surveillance tests to assess check valve status are not being performed on check valves in Event.V arrangements at Turkey Point Units 3&4.Review of operating records covering the past 5 years have not indicated problems with the check valves identified in an Fvent 5 arrangement.

NRC REQUEST 3 If either of the above Event V configurations exist at your facility, indicate wheth<<plant procedures should be revised or if plant modifications should be made to increase reliability,.

FPL RESPONSE Operating procedures for Turkey Point Units 3 s 4 will be revised to provide instructions for performi'ng and documenting periodic surveillance tests onheck valve nos.: 3-875A a~d 4-875A 3-875B and 4-875B 3-875C and 4-875C The tests will be performed to assess check valve integrity following cold shutdown or refueling shutdown.Each unit will be modified to provide for pressure measure-ments on the low pressure side of the check valve con-figurations identified as Event V arrangements.

The mod-ifications will be accomplished dur'ing the next scheduled outages of sufficient duration'when'the units are in the cold shutdown or refueling shutdown condition.

When these modifications are completed, procedures will be implemented to provide instructions for performing and documenting surveillance tests on'he subject.,check valves..
