SUBJECT:
NRC RESPONSE TO FPLS LETTER OF INTENT TO ADOPT 10 CFR 50.48(c)
(NFPA 805 RULE) FOR TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 3 AND 4
Dear Mr. Jones:
This letter responds to your letter dated November 15, 2005 (ML053290175), in which you informed us that Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) intends to adopt National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001 Edition, (NFPA 805 Rule) in accordance with the requirement in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50.48(c)
(CFR 50.48(c)) for Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4.
Your letter requests enforcement discretion for existing identified noncompliances in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Interim Enforcement Policy (69 FR33684 and 70 FR2662). Since you met the deadline to receive the discretion for existing identified noncompliances, NRC approves your request.
In your letter, you informed us that your transition to the performance-based standard for fire protection commences with the submittal of your letter. You indicated that your transition leading to development of the license amendment requests (LARs) for both units is expected to take 36 months. You provided numerous reasons to request an enforcement discretion window of three years, as opposed to the two year window approved by the Commission. Some of the key reasons that you provided for requesting this extension are:
! Need to follow lessons learned from NFPA 805 pilots;
! Need to complete a number of activities to re-baseline your fire protection program;
! Need to develop a fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) in support of the transition to NFPA 805; and
! Limited availability of experts.
The issues that you have raised as the basis to request a 36 month window have been raised by a number of other licensees that have sent us letters of intent to adopt NFPA 805. The staff is considering your request. We will contact you when we have reached a decision.
T. Jones 2 Your letter indicates that it is your understanding that the letter of intent initiates a window of enforcement discretion for Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4, no enforcement action will be taken by the NRC for non-safety significant noncompliances, subject to the guidance provided in the Interim Enforcement Policy. Your understanding is accurate. Please note that in order to receive the discretion, you must enter all noncompliances into your corrective action program, and implement and maintain appropriate compensatory measures, until the staff approves your LAR to transition to NFPA 805 and issues the safety evaluation report. Please refer to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-07 Compensatory Measures to Satisfy the Fire Protection Program Requirements, to determine appropriate compensatory measures.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Dr. Sunil Weerakkody, Chief, Fire Protection Branch at (301) 415-2870 (sdw1@nrc.gov).
