249 for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point). The proposed amendments would revise the Technical Specifications (TSs) to eliminate certain TS reporting requirements, revise an ACTION for the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), and make changes to certain administrative TSs.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) staff reviewed the application and identified areas where it needs additional information to support its review. The NRC staffs request for additional information (RAI) is provided below. As discussed with Ms. Olga Hanek of your staff on August 16, 2017, the NRC staff requests the licensee to respond to the RAI by September 22, 2017.

Paragraph 50.36(c)(3) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires, in part, establishing SRs to assure that the Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) will be met. Provide a justification for the acceptability of not including valves 744A/B and 843 A/B in TS SR 4.5.2.a.

SRXB RAI 2 - TS 3.5.2 Regarding RCS Hot-Leg leg Recirculation Flow Path Chapter 6.2.2 of the UFSAR indicates that the RCS hot-leg injection piping configuration contains two parallel injection flow paths with a motor-operated isolation valve in each flow path.
