| | Re: St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Denial of Amendment Requests Relating to the Moderator Temperature Coefficient and Full Length Control Element Assembly Surveillance Requirements Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) requests that the NRC reconsider its denials of the Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) and Full Length Control Element Assembly (FLCEA) proposed amendments transmitted to FPL by letters dated August 30, 1991, and January 31, 1991, respectively. The purpose of these amendments was discussed on November 6, 1991 in a meeting between NRC management and St. Lucie management personnel. |
| | Since the mid-1980s, FPL has had in place a reactor trip and plant transient reduction program which has greatly reduced the number of reactor trips at St. Lucie. The MTC and FLCEA proposed amendments are .a continuation'f this program. While the associated surveillances to date have not caused reactor trips, they each have led to dropped control element assemblies, events that we consider potential reactor trip precursors. Therefore, FPL feels that important to continue efforts on these types of improvements to it is reduce challenges to safety systems. |
| | FPL originally submitted the MTC proposed amendment on December 22, |
| | .1987. This proposed amendment would remove the requirement for a 300 ppm boron MTC surveillance if satisfactory results were obtained earlier in the fuel cycle. This surveillance, which is an infrequent evolution, places the reactor in an abnormal configuration and exposes it to the potential for dropped CEAs. Zn fact, a CEA was dropped while moving CEAs during the most recent St. Lucie Unit 1 surveillance. The NRC has reviewed this amendment extensively, and it is our understanding that acceptable from a technical standpoint. |

| | Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Denial of Amendment Requests Relating to the Moderator Temperature Coefficient and Full Length Control Element Assembly Surveillance Requirements FPL submitted the FLCEA proposed amendment on February 12, 1990. |
| | This proposed change would allow'or the extension of the surveillance interval for these requirements from once per 31 days to once per 92 days. In the past, performance of this surveillance has led to dropped CEAs on both St., Lucie units. Additionally, has demonstrated only limited value in detecting stuck CEAs since it most stuck CEAs are discovered prior to or during reactor startup and not during the performance of this surveillance. This change in frequency is supported in draft NUREG-1366 "Improvements to Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements". |
| | FPL is continuing our improvement process for trip and transient reduction and is planning to submit other amendments that would also reduce the risk for reactor trips and transients. One amendment would provide'for bypassing of a High Startup Rate trip channel for periods longer than 48 hours on St. Lucie Unit 1. We are also pursuing an amendment to increase the Loss of Load enable setpoint from 15% to 254. |
| | In summary, FPL is concerned that the safety improvement associated 1 |
| | with these Technical Specification changes will. not occur if these amendments are not reviewed on their own technical merit and the overall context in which they are being submitted. FPL requests that, the NRC reconsider their denials and review the MTC and FLCEA proposed amendments. |

Re: St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Denial of Amendment Requests Relating to the Moderator Temperature Coefficient and Full Length Control Element Assembly Surveillance Requirements Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) requests that the NRC reconsider its denials of the Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) and Full Length Control Element Assembly (FLCEA) proposed amendments transmitted to FPL by letters dated August 30, 1991, and January 31, 1991, respectively. The purpose of these amendments was discussed on November 6, 1991 in a meeting between NRC management and St. Lucie management personnel.
Since the mid-1980s, FPL has had in place a reactor trip and plant transient reduction program which has greatly reduced the number of reactor trips at St. Lucie. The MTC and FLCEA proposed amendments are .a continuation'f this program. While the associated surveillances to date have not caused reactor trips, they each have led to dropped control element assemblies, events that we consider potential reactor trip precursors. Therefore, FPL feels that important to continue efforts on these types of improvements to it is reduce challenges to safety systems.
FPL originally submitted the MTC proposed amendment on December 22,
.1987. This proposed amendment would remove the requirement for a 300 ppm boron MTC surveillance if satisfactory results were obtained earlier in the fuel cycle. This surveillance, which is an infrequent evolution, places the reactor in an abnormal configuration and exposes it to the potential for dropped CEAs. Zn fact, a CEA was dropped while moving CEAs during the most recent St. Lucie Unit 1 surveillance. The NRC has reviewed this amendment extensively, and it is our understanding that acceptable from a technical standpoint.

Re: St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Page,2.
Docket Nos. 50-335 and 50-389 Denial of Amendment Requests Relating to the Moderator Temperature Coefficient and Full Length Control Element Assembly Surveillance Requirements FPL submitted the FLCEA proposed amendment on February 12, 1990.
This proposed change would allow'or the extension of the surveillance interval for these requirements from once per 31 days to once per 92 days. In the past, performance of this surveillance has led to dropped CEAs on both St., Lucie units. Additionally, has demonstrated only limited value in detecting stuck CEAs since it most stuck CEAs are discovered prior to or during reactor startup and not during the performance of this surveillance. This change in frequency is supported in draft NUREG-1366 "Improvements to Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements".
FPL is continuing our improvement process for trip and transient reduction and is planning to submit other amendments that would also reduce the risk for reactor trips and transients. One amendment would provide'for bypassing of a High Startup Rate trip channel for periods longer than 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> on St. Lucie Unit 1. We are also pursuing an amendment to increase the Loss of Load enable setpoint from 15% to 254.
In summary, FPL is concerned that the safety improvement associated 1
with these Technical Specification changes will. not occur if these amendments are not reviewed on their own technical merit and the overall context in which they are being submitted. FPL requests that, the NRC reconsider their denials and review the MTC and FLCEA proposed amendments.
