SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT WITH OPEN ITEMS RELATED TO THE SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL OF TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNIT NOS. 3 AND 4 (EPID L-2018-RNW-0002)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

By letters dated January 30, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18037A812), February 9, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18044A653), February 16, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18053A123), March 1, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18072A224), and April 10, 2018 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML18102A521 and ML18113A132), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted an application for subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. The NRC staff determined that the application was complete and acceptable for docketing on April 26, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18003A050).

The NRC staff has reviewed the Turkey Point Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) and has developed the enclosed Safety Evaluation Report with Open Items Related to the Subsequent License Renewal of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4, hereinafter referred to as the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) with Open Items. This SER with Open Items reflects the status of the NRC staffs safety review of the SLRA, as supplemented, through April 15, 2019, unless otherwise noted. Issuance of the enclosed SER with Open Items is an important milestone for both the applicant and the NRC staff.

The open item that the NRC staff identified in its safety review must be resolved before the staff can make a final determination on the SLRA. Section 1.5 of the SER with Open Items includes a listing of the open item with an explanation of the information required for its satisfactory resolution.

M. Nazar The next milestone for this project is the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS)

Subcommittee meeting scheduled for June 21, 2019. The final SER, with all open items resolved, is scheduled to be issued on or about July 5, 2019.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the license renewal project manager, Ms. Lois James, at 301-415-3306 or by e-mail at Lois.James@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
