Because of the unique shared system design at PTN and because the PTN CTS is a common shared document for Unit 3 and Unit 4, the formatting of the shared system Specifications in the PTN CTS are presented on a facility basis instead of a unit basis which resulted in unnecessary deviation from the ISTS. During the NRC acceptance review of the ITS conversion license amendment request (LAR), FPL took the opportunity to incorporate these enhancements to align the PTN plant specific ITS closer to the ISTS. The enhancements include making changes to the ITS following the application of single failure criteria to the Limiting Conditions for Operation and electrical system precedent set by previous ITS conversion submittals (References 4 and 5). These enhancements support the goal of conforming, to the extent practical, to Revision 5 of the ISTS, which is presented on a unit basis. The ITS of several multi-unit plants with shared systems were used as guidance in the reformatting and revisions to achieve this goal. These ITS examples are identified in the technical discussion, where appropriate. | Because of the unique shared system design at PTN and because the PTN CTS is a common shared document for Unit 3 and Unit 4, the formatting of the shared system Specifications in the PTN CTS are presented on a facility basis instead of a unit basis which resulted in unnecessary deviation from the ISTS.

ECCS The ECCS is designed to limit the cladding temperature to 2200°F in accordance with 10CFR50.46. In addition, the core metal-water reaction is limited to less than 1% of the available Zircaloy, and the oxidation to less than 17% of the cladding thickness. | ECCS The ECCS is designed to limit the cladding temperature to 2200°F in accordance with 10CFR50.46.

As stated in UFSAR Section 6.2.1, the primary purpose of the ECCS is to automatically deliver cooling water to the reactor core in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. This limits the fuel clad temperature and thereby ensures that the core will remain intact and in place, with its heat transfer geometry preserved. Adequate emergency core cooling is provided by the ECCS whose components operate in three modes: (1) the passive accumulators; (2) the low head safety injection (RHR) system; and (3) the HHSI system. | As stated in UFSAR Section 6.2.1, the primary purpose of the ECCS is to automatically deliver cooling water to the reactor core in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident.

The most limiting single active failure assumed for a small break LOCA is that of an emergency power train failure which results in the loss of one complete train of ECCS components. In addition, a loss-of-offsite power is assumed to occur coincident with reactor trip. This means that credit may be taken for, at most, two HHSI pumps and one RHR pump. | The most limiting single active failure assumed for a small break LOCA is that of an emergency power train failure which results in the loss of one complete train of ECCS components.

To summarize, the analysis presented in the UFSAR and the EPU license amendment requires two of three unit specific ECCS accumulators, two of four shared unit HHSI subsystems, and one of two unit specific RHR subsystems to support the worst case event. The limiting single failure and the total ECCS capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN. | To summarize, the analysis presented in the UFSAR and the EPU license amendment requires two of three unit specific ECCS accumulators, two of four shared unit HHSI subsystems, and one of two unit specific RHR subsystems to support the worst case event. The limiting single failure and the total ECCS capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN. | ||
AFW System The limiting single unit event associated with the AFW System is the loss of normal feedwater flow event. This event is described in UFSAR Section 14.1.11 and concludes that the capacity of one AFW pump is such that the water level in the steam generators does not recede below the level at which sufficient heat transfer area is available to dissipate core residual heat and reactor coolant pump heat without water relief from the RCS pressurizer relief or safety valves. The limiting dual unit transient for the AFW System is a dual unit loss of offsite power event. As stated in the NRC SE associated with Unit 3 and Unit 4 EPU, the limiting event in terms of total flow from a single AFW pump is a dual unit loss of offsite power event and assumes the active single failure of one AFW pump concurrent with one additional AFW pump out-of-service (Section 2.5.4 (pgs. 186 through 188) of the PTN EPU SE, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365). Thus, the limiting design basis event analysis assumes only two AFW pumps are available at event initiation with one failing to start at the onset of the event resulting in one AFW train available for event mitigation. Therefore, the PTN AFW System effectively consists of an installed spare turbine driven AFW pump. The NRC staff concluded in the SE associated with PTN Unit 3 and Unit 4 EPU that there is reasonable assurance the AFW System would remain capable of | AFW System The limiting single unit event associated with the AFW System is the loss of normal feedwater flow event. This event is described in UFSAR Section 14.1.11 and concludes that the capacity of one AFW pump is such that the water level in the steam generators does not recede below the level at which sufficient heat transfer area is available to dissipate core residual heat and reactor coolant pump heat without water relief from the RCS pressurizer relief or safety valves.

The purpose of the CTS 3.8.1.1 ACTIONS is to limit the time the unit can remain operating with different combinations of inoperable offsite circuits and EDGs. Once these limits to operation are exceeded, ACTION J is entered to provide a reasonable time to place the unit is a safe condition. End states are usually defined based on placing the unit into a MODE or condition in which the Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) is not applicable. MODE 5 is the current end state for LCOs that are applicable in MODES 1 through 4. This change is acceptable because the risk of the transition from MODE 1 to MODES 4 or 5 depends on the availability of alternating current (AC) sources and the ability to remove decay heat such that remaining in MODE 4 may be safer. During the realignment from MODE 4 to MODE 5, there is an increased potential for loss of shutdown cooling and loss of inventory events. | The purpose of the CTS 3.8.1.1 ACTIONS is to limit the time the unit can remain operating with different combinations of inoperable offsite circuits and EDGs.

"[OR In accordance with Risk Informed Completion Time Program]," will be removed from Required Action F.2. In PTN's submittal to adopt the RICT program the NRC staff had a concern associated with "loss of function". One of the industry-proposed options to address the staff's concern was to exclude the use of the loss of function provisions provided in TSTF-505 and, based on PTNs definition of OPERABLE/OPERABILITY, this included two inoperable offsite circuits as a loss of function condition. With the adoption of the ISTS definition of OPERABLE/OPERABILITY two inoperable offsite circuits is no longer a loss of function condition. However, because PTNs adoption of the RICT program did not include the ISTS option, it will be deleted. | |||

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 12 CONTENTS OF THE TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 3 AND 4, IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (ITS) REVISION 1 SUBMITTAL Executive Summary By letter dated September 22, 2021 (Reference 1), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested a license amendment to convert Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4 (PTN) current Technical Specifications (CTS) to a version based on U.S.
NRC NUREG 1431, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants,"
Revision 5.0 (ISTS) (Reference 2) designated as PTN's improved Technical Specifications (ITS). On December 21, 2021 (Reference 3), the NRC provided a request for supplemental information (RSI) to support the NRC staff's acceptance review. The supplemental information requested by the NRC was provided by FPL by letter dated January 19, 2022 (Reference 4).
As stated in the abstract accompanying NUREG-1431, Revision 5, licensees are encouraged to upgrade their technical specifications consistent with those criteria and conforming, to the practical extent, to Revision 5 to the improved STS. The Commission continues to place the highest priority on requests for complete conversions to the improved STS. Licensees adopting portions of the ISTS to existing technical specifications should adopt all related requirements, as applicable, to achieve a high degree of standardization and consistency.
During FPL's review of the supplemental information requested, FPL staff determined that PTN's CTS could be simplified, and additional clarity added to PTN's ITS.
Because of the unique shared system design at PTN and because the PTN CTS is a common shared document for Unit 3 and Unit 4, the formatting of the shared system Specifications in the PTN CTS are presented on a facility basis instead of a unit basis which resulted in unnecessary deviation from the ISTS. During the NRC acceptance review of the ITS conversion license amendment request (LAR), FPL took the opportunity to incorporate these enhancements to align the PTN plant specific ITS closer to the ISTS. The enhancements include making changes to the ITS following the application of single failure criteria to the Limiting Conditions for Operation and electrical system precedent set by previous ITS conversion submittals (References 4 and 5). These enhancements support the goal of conforming, to the extent practical, to Revision 5 of the ISTS, which is presented on a unit basis. The ITS of several multi-unit plants with shared systems were used as guidance in the reformatting and revisions to achieve this goal. These ITS examples are identified in the technical discussion, where appropriate.
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 12 Summary of LAR Changes Revision 1 to the PTN ITS LAR includes:
- 1. Editorial and typographical corrections self identified post ITS LAR submittal and as identified by the NRC staff during acceptance review of the ITS application (Reference 3);
- 3. Incorporation of information stated, as applicable, in the responses to the NRC RSI (Reference 4). Where RSI responses are superseded by this ITS LAR revision, revised RSI responses are provided in Attachment 2, Revisions to the Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) Responses to NRC's Request for Supplemental Information (RSI).
Revision to Enclosures 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the original ITS submittal are provided with revision bars annotating the changes.
Due to the number of revisions made, Enclosure 2 provided herein replaces of the original ITS submittal with no revision bars included denoting changes. A summary of the revisions, other than editorial and typographical corrections, is provided in Table 1 of this attachment. The revision also includes a number of self-identified editorial and typographical corrections and NRC identified editorial and typographical corrections identified during the NRC's acceptance review of the ITS Conversion License Amendment Request (LAR) (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML21342A293).
Proposed changes that may require NRC technical branch review are included in ITS Conversion LAR Enclosure 3. Regulatory commitments are provided in ITS Conversion LAR Enclosure 5.
Technical Discussion To assist the NRC staff's review of this ITS LAR revision, a technical discussion is provided herein for the following systems summarizing the difference between the plant specific system design and the system design configuration associated with the ISTS:
Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS),
Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System, Control Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) and Control Room Emergency Air Temperature Control System (CREATCS),
AC Electrical Power System, AC Electrical Power Distribution System, Component Cooling Water (CCW) System, and Intake Cooling Water (ICW) System.
Appendix A of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) provides additional discussion related to the systems shared by PTN Unit 3 and Unit 4.
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 12 Comparison of PTN System Design to the ISTS System Design Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)
The ISTS is based on a single plant design with two redundant 100% capacity ECCS trains/subsystems. Due to the shared high head safety injection (HHSI) subsystem design between the PTN units, the current ECCS Specification is presented on a facility basis instead of a unit basis. Although sharing ECCS systems between units is an uncommon design, the proposed changes are similar to the ITS presentation of multi-unit sites with other shared systems and are made to align the PTN Technical Specifications, to the practical extent, with the ISTS.
The PTN design consists of four HHSI subsystems shared between both units, and two unit specific residual heat removal (RHR) subsystems. The four shared HHSI subsystems take suction from their respective unit's RWST and discharge to a common header with redundant ECCS injection valves on each unit. The HHSI suction headers can be crosstied between units to allow the HHSI subsystem to take suction from the opposite units RWST. Additionally, two motor operated cross tie valves provide capability to isolate the HHSI pump common discharge header between the units.
These valves are normally open and, if required, closed to separate the units. The two unit specific RHR subsystems take suction from the associated units RWST via a common header and discharge to a common header with redundant RHR injection valves. The common HHSI and RHR discharge headers supply ECCS flow to all three RCS loops via redundant headers.
Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System The ISTS is based on a standard Westinghouse AFW System design with two 100%
capacity motor driven AFW trains and one 200% capacity turbine driven AFW train with two redundant steam supplies from the steam generators. Several Westinghouse plants are designed with two 100% capacity motor driven AFW trains and one 100%
capacity turbine driven AFW train. The motor driven AFW trains provide specific steam generators but have the capability to supply the other trains steam generators, as needed. The turbine driven AFW train provides flow to all the steam generators with DC powered control valves to support loss of AC power. The turbine driven AFW train is required to ensure diversity of pump motive power ensuring AFW System capability to support a station blackout (SBO). The design basis of the standard AFW System is to mitigate the consequences of any event with loss of normal feedwater (e.g.,
feedwater line break accident and loss of main feedwater) and is a consideration in the analysis of a small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA).
The PTN design consists of three 100% capacity steam driven AFW pumps shared between two units. Steam supply to the three pumps is supplied from each units steam generator via redundant steam supply headers. Each pump turbine can be manually aligned to either steam supply header. The steam supply line from each steam generator to both steam headers consist of a check valve and motor operated steam supply valve. The three pumps discharge through check valves to two redundant discharge headers for each unit. The AFW System is normally configured with one turbine drive pump aligned to Train 1 steam and feedwater headers and two
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 12 turbine drive pumps aligned to Train 2 steam and feedwater headers. The safety analysis requires only one turbine driven AFW train to support the safety function. In addition, PTN is designed with a non safety related Standby Feedwater System. This system consists of one motor driven feedwater pump and one diesel driven feedwater pump. The Standby Feedwater System provides defense-in-depth and requirements associated with this system are provided in UFSAR subsection 12.12.3.
The proposed changes in this revision are made to align the PTN Technical Specifications, to the practical extent, with the ISTS to meet the intent of the ISTS requirements of mitigating the consequences of any event with loss of normal feedwater (e.g., feedwater line break accident and loss of main feedwater) and a small break LOCA.
Control Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) and Control Room Emergency Air Temperature Control System (CREATCS)
The ISTS separates the control room filtration function and control room cooling function into two Specifications: Control Room Emergency Filtration System and CREATCS. These Specifications are based on a single plant design with two redundant 100% capacity CREVS and CREATCS trains/subsystems. Several multi-unit sites utilize a single shared control room design. PTN Units 3 and 4 also utilize a shared common control room design with a shared CREVS.
The CREVS is designed with two redundant 100% capacity CREVS supply fans and one common filter unit. Redundant dampers are provided in the control room normal and emergency intake and recirculation ducts to support a single active failure.
In addition to the CREVS filter unit, a compensatory filtration unit is provided as a manual, safety-related, Seismic Class I backup to the installed CREVS System with the same functional and operational capabilities as the installed CREVS filter train.
Cooling of the control room is provided by three 100% capacity heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units each consisting of an air handling unit (AHU) and a condensing unit. In addition to providing support for the CREATCS, the AHU fans support the CREVS by maintaining proper air flow and a positive pressure in the control room during the CREVS recirculation mode of operation. A single AHU fan cannot provide 100% capacity to support the required air flow distribution in the CREVS recirculation mode,. Therefore, a least two AHU fans are required to support the CREVS control room filtration function.
A further description of the CREVS and CREATCS is provided in UFSAR Section 9.9.
AC Electrical Power System The ISTS is based on a single plant design with two redundant Class 1E electrical power trains/subsystems with two independent circuits between the offsite transmission network and the Class 1E Electrical Power System and two independent emergency diesel generators. This design supports 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 17. Units 3 and 4 were designed prior to the implementation of
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 6 of 12 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) for Nuclear Power Plants, and utilized the criteria of 1967 AEC proposed GDC 39, "Emergency Power for Engineered Safety Features," in the design of the site electric power systems.
The normal power source to the Class 1E AC Electrical Power Distribution System is the respective unit auxiliary transformers and associated circuits to the Train A and B 4.16 kV buses. The preferred offsite power source is the unit startup transformer and associated circuit to the Train A and B 4.16 kV buses. One offsite circuit for each unit is supplied via the unit's start-up transformer. The alternate offsite circuit (i.e., delayed circuit) is supplied by the opposite unit's start-up transformer to the Train A 4.16 kV bus. Manual operator action is required to align the opposite units startup transformer to the Train A 4.16 kV bus.
To preclude inadvertent connecting of both startup transformers, the unit tie breaker to the respective Train A 4.16 kV bus does not include automatic transfer capability and is normally racked out and locked open. Upon a loss of the main generator and the preferred offsite circuit, the alternate offsite circuit is connected to the Train A bus by unlocking, racking in, and closing the unit tie breaker to restore offsite power to the unit Train A 4.16 kV bus.
The PTN emergency diesel generator design is similar to the ISTS diesel generator design and consists of two emergency diesel generators per unit.
Due to the shared systems between the units, the current PTN Specification is presented on a facility basis instead of a unit basis and requires opposite unit AC sources to support the shared systems (e.g., Control Room Emergency Ventilation System and safety related battery chargers). Therefore, changes are made (additions, deletions, and/or changes) to the ISTS presentation that reflect the plant-specific multi-unit and shared systems design on a unit basis. The changes do not represent a change to the plant design or safety analysis basis.
AC Electrical Power Distribution System The ISTS is based on a single plant design with two redundant Class 1E electrical power distribution trains/subsystems with each train consisting of 4.16 kV buses, 480 V load center (LC) and motor control center (MCC) buses, two 125 V DC buses, and four 120 V vital AC buses (two per train). The PTN Class 1E AC Electrical Power Distribution System also consists of 4.16 kV buses, 480V LC and MCC buses, 120V Instrument (Vital) AC subsystems, and 125V DC buses. For each unit there are three safety related 4.16 kV switchgear, two of which are fed separately from the double secondary windings of its unit auxiliary transformer under normal operating conditions.
At any time when power from the auxiliary transformer is not available, these buses are energized from the double (X and Y) secondary windings of the startup transformer.
Two of the 4.16 kV switchgear, labeled as "A" and "B", provide power to the A and B trains of Engineered Safety Features (ESF), respectively, in each unit. The third safety related 4.16 kV switchgear, labeled as the "D" switchgear, is utilized as a swing bus.
The 4.16 kV swing bus can be manually aligned to either the Train A or Train B 4.16 kV bus of its respective unit and powers swing equipment (e.g., swing CCW pump and swing ICW pump). Interlocks ensure that the swing switchgear can only be connected
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 12 to one 4.16 kV bus at a time. When the 4.16 kV swing switchgear is connected to either of the 4.16 kV supply buses, it is considered an extension of that power supply bus.
The 480V LC buses are arranged in the same manner for Units 3 and 4. For each unit there are five safety related 480V LC buses, four of which are energized from different 4.16 kV busses (LCs A and C are fed from Train A and LCs B and D are fed from Train B). This arrangement ensures the availability of equipment associated with a particular function in the event of loss of one 4.16 kV bus. The fifth safety related 480V LC in each unit is a swing LC, which can swing between Train A and B of its associated unit. The swing LC bus can be aligned to either train (Train A or Train B) of the respective unit AC Electrical Power Distribution System. These swing LCs are labeled as 3H for Unit 3 and 4H for Unit 4. When the 480V swing LC is connected to either 480V supply bus, it is considered to be an extension of that 480V supply bus. The swing LCs are used to supply shared system and cross-unit loads. Upon loss of normal power to the swing LC bus, the bus will automatically transfer to the redundant AC electrical power distribution train, if available, to maintain continuity of power to the loads.
The 480V system includes MCCs powered from the LCs and are arranged in a similar manner for Units 3 and 4. Eight MCCs per unit are powered by safety related LCs with four per unit considered vital and two per unit suppling the emergency diesel generator (EDG) support systems. Three of the eight safety related MCC have a vital and a non-vital section, MCCs A, B, and C. The fourth vital MCC (MCC D) is connected to the unit swing LC, and thus, is considered a swing MCC.
Component Cooling Water (CCW) System The ISTS is based on a single plant design with the CCW System arranged as two redundant, full capacity cooling loops, and has isolatable nonsafety related components. Each safety related train includes a full capacity pump, surge tank, heat exchanger, piping, valves, and instrumentation. Each safety related train is powered from a separate bus. A number of Westinghouse plants are designed with an additional CCW pump that can be aligned to either electrical train, with interlocks to ensure the swing pump can serve as a backup pump to either CCW train.
The PTN design is also arranged as two redundant full capacity cooling loops similar to the ISTS design. In addition, the PTN CCW System design includes an additional CCW pump and heat exchanger. The pumps and heat exchangers are arranged such that any combination of pumps and heat exchangers can supply either CCW train. The CCW trains are normally cross-tied at common suction and discharge headers and can be separated by closing crosstie valves between headers. The swing CCW pump can be aligned to either electrical train, with interlocks to ensure the swing pump can serve as a backup to either CCW train. One CCW pump and two of three CCW heat exchangers accommodate the accident heat removal loads. Each of the two standby pumps provides 100% backup.
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 8 of 12 Intake Cooling Water (ICW) System The ISTS is based on a single plant design with the Service Water System (SWS) arranged as two redundant, full capacity cooling headers, and has isolatable nonsafety related components. Each safety related train is powered from a separate bus.
The PTN ICW System design is also arranged as two redundant full capacity cooling headers similar to the ISTS SWS design. In addition, the PTN ICW System design includes an additional ICW pump. The pumps are arranged such that any combination of pumps can supply either ICW train. The ICW trains are normally cross-tied at the common pump discharge header and can be separated by closing crosstie valves between headers. The swing ICW pump can be aligned to either electrical train, with interlocks to ensure the swing pump can serve as a backup to either ICW train.
Current Licensing Basis and Accident Analysis A summary discussion of the current licensing basis and accident analysis of the following systems is provided herein to aid in the understanding of the minimum PTN requirements defining the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility as defined in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(i):
- ECCS, AFW System, CREVS and CREATCS, Component Cooling Water (CCW) System, and Intake Cooling Water (ICW) System.
ECCS The ECCS is designed to limit the cladding temperature to 2200°F in accordance with 10CFR50.46. In addition, the core metal-water reaction is limited to less than 1% of the available Zircaloy, and the oxidation to less than 17% of the cladding thickness.
As stated in UFSAR Section 6.2.1, the primary purpose of the ECCS is to automatically deliver cooling water to the reactor core in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. This limits the fuel clad temperature and thereby ensures that the core will remain intact and in place, with its heat transfer geometry preserved. Adequate emergency core cooling is provided by the ECCS whose components operate in three modes: (1) the passive accumulators; (2) the low head safety injection (RHR) system; and (3) the HHSI system.
A comprehensive safety analysis of postulated pipe ruptures within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) boundary has been performed as summarized in UFSAR Section 14.3. This analysis has included cases of the LOCA resulting from a broad spectrum of small and large pipe ruptures including the Maximum Hypothetical Accident (MHA) case of the double ended break of the largest RCS pipe.
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 9 of 12 Additionally, the NRC staff reviewed the LOCA analysis for extended power uprate (EPU) conditions as summarized in the PTN EPU safety evaluation (SE) and determined the analysis was acceptable for EPU operation (Section 2.8.5.6.3 (pgs. 334 through 348) of the PTN EPU SE, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365). The NRC staff evaluated the large and small break LOCA analyses and post-LOCA long term cooling analyses for the PTN Units 3 and 4. The NRC staff evaluation also included an audit of Westinghouse calculations pertaining to boric acid precipitation analyses and timing for the switch to hot leg injection. The NRC staff concluded that the LOCA analysis demonstrates acceptable performance relative to the 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria at uprated conditions.
For the large break analysis, one ECCS train, including two HHSI pumps and one RHR (low-head) pump, starts and delivers flow through the injection lines (one for each loop) with one branch injection line spilling to the containment backpressure.
Based on the analysis results, it is concluded that PTN Units 3 and 4 maintain a margin of safety to the limits prescribed by 10 CFR 50.46.
The most limiting single active failure assumed for a small break LOCA is that of an emergency power train failure which results in the loss of one complete train of ECCS components. In addition, a loss-of-offsite power is assumed to occur coincident with reactor trip. This means that credit may be taken for, at most, two HHSI pumps and one RHR pump.
To summarize, the analysis presented in the UFSAR and the EPU license amendment requires two of three unit specific ECCS accumulators, two of four shared unit HHSI subsystems, and one of two unit specific RHR subsystems to support the worst case event. The limiting single failure and the total ECCS capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN.
AFW System The limiting single unit event associated with the AFW System is the loss of normal feedwater flow event. This event is described in UFSAR Section 14.1.11 and concludes that the capacity of one AFW pump is such that the water level in the steam generators does not recede below the level at which sufficient heat transfer area is available to dissipate core residual heat and reactor coolant pump heat without water relief from the RCS pressurizer relief or safety valves. The limiting dual unit transient for the AFW System is a dual unit loss of offsite power event. As stated in the NRC SE associated with Unit 3 and Unit 4 EPU, the limiting event in terms of total flow from a single AFW pump is a dual unit loss of offsite power event and assumes the active single failure of one AFW pump concurrent with one additional AFW pump out-of-service (Section 2.5.4 (pgs. 186 through 188) of the PTN EPU SE, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365). Thus, the limiting design basis event analysis assumes only two AFW pumps are available at event initiation with one failing to start at the onset of the event resulting in one AFW train available for event mitigation. Therefore, the PTN AFW System effectively consists of an installed spare turbine driven AFW pump. The NRC staff concluded in the SE associated with PTN Unit 3 and Unit 4 EPU that there is reasonable assurance the AFW System would remain capable of
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 10 of 12 performing its licensing basis functions following EPU implementation because the design operation of the AFW pumps would remain within existing bounds and the inventory remains adequate to support natural circulation cooldown to RHR entry conditions. To summarize, the current safety analysis basis regarding the limiting single and dual unit events and the total AFW pump capacity, as shown for EPU, requires one of three shared unit turbine drive AFW pumps to support the worst case accident. The limiting single failure and the total AFW pump capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN.
CCW System The safety analysis basis of the CCW System is to provide sufficient heat removal from the engineered safety features to the ultimate heat sink (ICW System), post accident.
The system is designed with sufficient capability to accommodate the failure of any single, active component without resulting in undue risk to the health and safety of the public following a MHA. The most limiting single active failure considered is the loss of one emergency diesel, which results in only one CCW pump starting automatically to mitigate the consequences of the MHA. This assumed single failure also results in the loss of a complete train of engineered safety features, including the inability to open the CCW isolation valve associated with one RHR heat exchanger and one emergency containment cooler (ECC).
In support of the EPU project, detailed CCW System thermal analyses were performed to evaluate overall performance following worst-case design basis accidents.
Maximum expected system operating temperatures were calculated for both the double-ended primary system pipe break and secondary (steam) pipe failure. In the thermal analyses, a consistent set of conservative cooling system operating parameters were defined for several analyzed single failure conditions. These included the failure of a diesel generator, a containment spray pump and ICW pump. To restrict CCW System post-accident operating temperatures to within acceptable ranges, the maximum number of ECCs automatically starting is two.
The PTN analysis presented in the EPU license amendment (Section 2.5.4 (pgs. 180 through 183) of the PTN EPU SE, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365) modeled operation of one CCW pump and two CCW heat exchangers to accommodate the accident heat removal loads. The analysis demonstrated that containment heat removal requirements through the CCW System were satisfied with respect to post-accident containment temperature and pressure.
To summarize, the current safety analysis basis, as shown for EPU, requires one of three CCW pumps and two of three CCW heat exchangers to support the worst case accident. The limiting single failure and the required CCW pump and heat exchanger capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN.
ICW System A summary of the PTN analysis is presented in the SE of the EPU license amendment (Section 2.5.4 (pgs. 177 through 179, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365).
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 12 The ICW System provides sufficient redundancy so that at least one ICW pump will continue to operate to handle heat loads from design basis accidents following a postulated single active failure. Accident analysis has determined that the minimum required ICW System flow rate to the CCW heat exchangers is acceptable for removal of postulated accident heat loads at EPU operating conditions. Therefore, the ICW System is capable of providing adequate cooling flow with the most limiting single failure scenario of one pump supplying two CCW heat exchangers, and the system operating pressure is adequate to deliver the required flow.
To summarize, the current safety analysis basis, as shown for EPU, requires one of three ICW pumps to support the worst case accident. The limiting single failure and the required ICW pump capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of the EPU at PTN.
CREVS As described in UFSAR Section 9.9, the design basis of the CREVS with respect to radiological emergencies is to be capable of automatically starting under accident conditions to initiate emergency control room pressurization and filtration, assuming the occurrence of a single active damper or supply fan failure.
The CREVS assumptions are summarized in Section 3.1 of the NRC SE associated with the PTN license amendments regarding the adoption of alternative source term (AST) and it was concluded that, for each analyzed accident, the dose estimates complied with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67 and the guidelines of RG 1.183, and are therefore acceptable (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML110800666). The control room air flow assumed for accidents and transients crediting CREVS was 1000 cfm considering an air flow distribution of 525 cfm of filtered makeup flow from the more limiting of the two emergency outside air intakes, 100 cfm of assumed unfiltered inleakage, and 375 cfm of filtered recirculation flow.
At least one CREVS supply fan and two AHU fans are required to ensure at least 1000 cfm air flow is provided and distributed to support emergency control room pressurization and filtration.
A summary of the PTN analysis is presented in the SE of the EPU license amendment (Section 2.7.3 (pgs. 222 through 224, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365).
The limiting single failure and the required control room air flow capacity and distribution have not changed in the analyses of record since the adoption of AST and implementation of EPU at PTN.
CREATCS UFSAR Section 9.9 states that the electrical configuration of the three HVAC units precludes the loss of more than one HVAC unit for any postulated single failure.
Control room equipment is designed to operate in an environment of 120°F and 95%
relative humidity. If two of three units were inoperative, the third would maintain the control room environment within these limits (only one required to maintain CR habitability).
Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 Dockets 50-250 and 50-251 L-2022-040 Attachment 1 Page 12 of 12 A summary of the PTN analysis is presented in the SE of the EPU license amendment (Section 2.7.3 (pgs. 222 through 224, NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML11293A365). As stated in the EPU SE, the cooling and circulating portions of the system consists of air circulating ducts, three 100% capacity AHUs and associated condensing units. One unit can maintain the control room environment within the design limits of the equipment located in the control room. Therefore, only one of three HVAC units (i.e.,
AHU and condensing unit) is required to provide adequate control room cooling.
The limiting single failure and the control room cooling capacity have not changed in the analyses of record since the implementation of EPU at PTN.

Introduction During the NRC's Acceptance Review of FPL's Improved Technical Specification (ITS)
Conversion License Amendment Request (LAR) (Reference 1), the NRC staff sent an RSI to FPL (Reference 2). By letter dated January 19, 2022, (Reference 3) FPL supplied responses to the NRC's RSI.
During the development of responses to the NRC RSI's, FPL identified areas in which modifications could be made that would allow the PTN ITS to align more closely with NUREG 1431, Revision 5, "Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants." As a result of making these changes, some of FPL's RSI responses changed. The following describes these changes by FPL RSI response attachment number. The NRC RSI question, original FPL response, revised FPL response and a discussion of the revised response are provided. The Table below identifies the RSI responses that have changes.

Volume 9 - Section 3.4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A380) Question 4 On page 89/456, provide an explanation for why the proposed changes to LCO 3.4.5, Conditions C and D and associated Required Actions do not follow the STS format.
Current FPL Response:
PTN ITS ACTION C will be changed to adopt NUREG-1431 Section 3.4.5 ACTION C as written. PTN ITS ACTION D will be changed to adopt NUREG-1431 Section 3.4.5 ACTION D with the following exception. At the end of the second part of Condition D, "when the Rod Control System is not capable of rod withdrawal," will be added. If not added, when the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal and the required RCS loops are not in operation, both Actions C and D will be required to be entered.
Revised FPL Response PTN ITS ACTION C will be changed to adopt NUREG-1431 Section 3.4.5 ACTION C as written. PTN ITS ACTION D will be changed to adopt NUREG-1431 Section 3.4.5 ACTION D with the following exception. At the end of the second part of Condition D, "with Rod Control System not capable of rod withdrawal," will be added. If not added, when the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal and the required RCS loops are not in operation, both Actions C and D will be required to be entered. In addition, revisions, will be made, as necessary, to the CTS markup, ITS markup, and ITS Bases markup.
Discussion of Revised Response The addition to the end of the second part of Condition D was revised to be consistent with the wording in Condition C. In addition, in the previous response, other sections that required revision were not identified. The other sections that require revision (ITS 3.4.5 CTS Markup, ITS Markup, and ITS Bases Markup were changed in this revision.

Volume 13 - Section 3.8 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A384) Question 1 ITS 3.8.1 - page 19/419 - On ITS 3.8.1 discussion of change (DOC) page 3 of 17, DOC M01 describes Actions in Mode 1. There is also a less restrictive change which is missing a discussion of the change. In Modes 2, 3, and 4, CTS action a.5 requires restoration of the inoperable startup transformer within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This is less than the Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed in ITS. Provide a DOC for this less restrictive change.
FPL Response:
There is no missing Less Restrictive change; CTS Action a.5 is equivalent to ITS ACTION C.
As described in ITS 1.3, Completion Times, "if situations are discovered that require entry into more than one Condition at a time within a single LCO (multiple Conditions), the Required Actions for each Condition must be performed within the associated Completion Time." ITS LCO 3.8.1, ACTION C is applicable when one required associated offsite circuit is inoperable.
Condition C is modified by a Note stating that it is only applicable when the associated unit is in MODES 2, 3, or 4, similar to CTS Action a.5 which states, "If the inoperable startup transformer is the associated startup transformer and became inoperable while the unit was in MODE 2, 3, or 4..." As in CTS Action a.5, ITS ACTION C allows 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore the inoperable Startup Transformer.
FPL Revised Response:
Revised ITS 3.8.1 DOC L01 provides a discussion for this less restrictive change.
Discussion of Revised Response:
Revised ITS 3.8.1 DOC L01 discusses CTS Actions a.3 and a.5 which provide different actions based on the unit's MODE. The DOC discusses ITS 3.8.1 Required Action A.3 which requires that with one unit offsite circuit inoperable to restore the offsite circuit to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program.
This DOC proposes that the Completion Time to restore a unit offsite circuit is 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> regardless of the MODE.

Volume 13 - Section 3.8 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A384) Question 2 ITS 3.8.1 - page 23 - On discussion of changes (DOC) page 7 of 17 of ITS 3.8.1, DOC LA05 states that the removal of CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the TS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. DOC LA05 also states that an OPERABLE Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) must be capable of providing power to the associated emergency bus as indicated in the Bases. ITS 3.8.1 LCO b is the requirement for EDGs to be capable of supplying the onsite Class 1E power distribution subsystem therefore the details of CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6 are not being removed from TS. Provide a revised discussion of change for CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6.
FPL Response:
It is agreed that a DOC is required; however, an Administrative DOC will be provided because the surveillance requirement is being deleted but the definition of OPERABLE/OPERABILITY and the LCO retain the details of surveillance. CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6 is a surveillance requirement to specifically verify the diesel generator is aligned to provide standby power to the associated emergency buses. For the diesel generator to provide its safety function, as required by the definition of OPERABLE, it must be aligned to provide standby power. The change will be categorized as an Administrative Change with a revised discussion of change as follows.
A09 CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6 requires the verification that each EDG is aligned to provide standby power to the associated emergency buses. ITS 3.8.1 does not contain this surveillance requirement. This changes the CTS by deleting the surveillance requirement as the detail that each EDG is aligned to provide standby power to the associated emergency buses is included in the ITS LCO.
The removal of CTS 4.8.1.1.2.a.6, which is related to system design, from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included as a specific surveillance requirement to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. ITS LCO 3.8.1 requires the EDGs to be OPERABLE. For the emergency diesel generator to provide its safety function, as required by the definition of OPERABLE, it must be aligned to provide standby power, capable of providing power to the associated emergency bus as described in the Bases. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in a technical change to the CTS.

Volume 13 - Section 3.8 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A384) Question 3 ITS 3.8.1 - page 25 - On ITS 3.8.1 discussion of change (DOC) page 9 of 17, DOC L01 states, CTS ACTIONs a.3.b. a.4, a.5, b.3, d.1, e.2, and f, in part, require that if the associated Action and Completion time are not met to be... in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />... However, the action to be in HOT Standby within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> does not seem to apply to any of the listed CTS Actions. Provide an explanation to why this action is listed in DOC L01 or revise DOC L01.
FPL Response:
The statement, "in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />," does not apply to any of the listed CTS Actions. The statement, "in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />," is associated with CTS ACTION d.2. CTS ACTION d.2 was not included in this DOC. The DOC will be revised to delete this statement as follows.
L01 (Category 4 - Relaxation of Required Action) CTS ACTIONs a.3.b, a.4, a.5, b.3, d.1, e.2, and f, in part, require that if the associated Action and Completion Time are not met to be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />; or in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. ITS ACTION J requires that with the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H not met to be in MODE 3 in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and MODE 4 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This changes the CTS by requiring a less restrictive end state in the required actions, MODE 4 (HOT SHUTDOWN) instead of MODE 5 (COLD SHUTDOWN).
The purpose of the CTS 3.8.1.1 ACTIONS is to limit the time the unit can remain operating with different combinations of inoperable offsite circuits and EDGs. Once these limits to operation are exceeded, ACTION J is entered to provide a reasonable time to place the unit is a safe condition. End states are usually defined based on placing the unit into a MODE or condition in which the Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) is not applicable. MODE 5 is the current end state for LCOs that are applicable in MODES 1 through 4. This change is acceptable because the risk of the transition from MODE 1 to MODES 4 or 5 depends on the availability of alternating current (AC) sources and the ability to remove decay heat such that remaining in MODE 4 may be safer. During the realignment from MODE 4 to MODE 5, there is an increased potential for loss of shutdown cooling and loss of inventory events.
Decay heat removal following a loss-of-offsite power event in MODE 5 is dependent on

AC power for shutdown cooling whereas, in MODE 4, the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump will be available. Therefore, transitioning to MODE 5 is not always the appropriate end state from a risk perspective. Thus, for specific TS conditions, Westinghouse Topical Report WCAP-16294-A R1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103430249) justifies MODE 4 as an acceptable alternate end state to Mode 5. The proposed change to the Technical Specifications will allow time to perform short-duration repairs, which currently necessitate exiting the original mode of applicability. The MODE 4 TS end state is applied, and risk is assessed and managed in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants." Modified end states are limited to conditions where: (1) entry into the shutdown mode is for a short interval, (2) entry is initiated by inoperability of a single train of equipment or a restriction on a plant operational parameter, unless otherwise stated in the applicable TS, and (3) the primary purpose is to correct the initiating condition and return to power operation as soon as is practical. This proposed change is consistent with NRC approved TSTF-432-A Revision 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103360003), noticed for availability by the NRC in the Federal Register (77 FR 27814) on May 11, 2012. The NRC's approval of WCAP-16294-A included four limitations and conditions on its use as identified in Section 4.0 of the NRC Safety Evaluation associated with WCAP-16294-A. Implementation of these stipulations were addressed in the Bases of TSTF-432-A. Florida Power & Light implemented these limitations and conditions at PTN in the adoption of the associated TSTF-432-A Bases. This change is designated as less restrictive because less stringent Required Actions are being applied in the ITS than were applied in the CTS.
FPL Revised Response:
The NRC's RSI and FPL's response stated that the DOC in question is DOC L01. Revision 1 added another less restrictive change to ITS 3.8.1 DOCs designating it as DOC L01. This changed the subject DOC to ITS 3.8.1 DOC L02. In addition, the NRC's RSI and FPL's response references ACTION J. The ACTION under PTN's ITS Conversion LAR Revision 1 is changed to ACTION I.
Discussion of Revised Response:
Change is in DOC and ACTION designations only. Revision 0 ITS 3.8.1 DOC L01 is Revision 1 DOC L02, and ITS 3.8.1 Revision 0 ACTION J is Revision 1 ACTION I.

Provide an explanation to why this action is listed in DOC L01 or revise DOC L01.
FPL Response:
Insert 3 has been inadvertently inserted inconsistent with the ISTS format. The insert should be inserted after the "AND" logic connector following Required Action E.1. A revision will be provided showing INSERT 3 following the "AND" logic connector following Required Action E.1.
FPL Revised Response:
In FPL response to the NRC's RSI Volume 13 - Section 3.8, RSI number 4, FPL provided the incorrect RSI question in Attachment 30. The correct RSI question is:
ITS 3.8.1 - page 37 - On ITS 3.8.1 page 3.8.1-2, it shows Insert 3 being added between Required Action E.1 and the logical connector AND. On ITS 3.8.1 Insert Page 3.8.1-2b, Insert 3 shows Required Action E.2 followed by a logical connector AND. As proposed, this would have Required Action E.1 on top of Required Action E.2 without a logical connector between them and would have two AND logical connectors between Required Action E.2 and Required Action E.3. As proposed, this change is not consistent with ISTS format. Provide a revision that is consistent with ISTS format.
The correct response was provided however, FPL's response to this RSI has changed. FPL provides the following response to this question.
In Revision 1 of FPLs ITS Conversion LAR, the allowance to not perform Required Actions allowed by the inserted Note will no longer be allowed. The inserted Note has been deleted.

Discussion of Revised Response:
Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 current Technical Specification (CTS) provides an exception to requiring a common Fuel Storage System containing a minimum volume of 38,000 gallons of fuel and a separate fuel transfer pump. This exception states:
"A temporary Class III fuel storage system containing a minimum volume of 38,000 gallons of fuel oil may be used for up to 10 days during the performance of Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2i.1 for the Unit 3 storage tank while Unit 3 is in Modes 5, 6, or defueled. If the diesel fuel oil storage tank is not returned to service within 10 days, Technical Specification 3.8.1.1 Action b and 3.8.1.2 Action apply to Unit 4 and Unit 3 respectively."
Therefore, if the temporary Unit 3 Class III storage system is in use for longer than 10 days the Unit 4 EDG is considered inoperable but only required to perform the Actions required by CTS 3.8.1.1 Action b. These actions did not include CTS 3.8.1.1 Action d to verify that; 1. All required systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices (except safety injection pumps) that depend on the remaining required OPERABLE diesel generators as a source of emergency power are also OPERABLE; and 2. At least two Safety Injection pumps are OPERABLE and capable of being powered from their associated OPERABLE diesel generators. ITS Required Action E.2 and E.3 represented CTS 3.8.1.1 Action d with Insert 3 being ITS Required Action E.2, inserted in the incorrect location. FPL has determined that if the temporary Class III storage system is used for greater than 10 days the Unit 4 EDG will be declared inoperable and all Required Actions will be performed, making the Insert unnecessary and no longer used. With the Insert removed, a revision that is consistent with ISTS format is provided.

Volume 13 - Section 3.8 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A384) Question 5 ITS 3.8.1 - page 40 - On ITS 3.8.1 page 3.8.1-3, the completion time for Required Action F.2 states, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> [OR In accordance with Risk Informed Completion Time Program], and the proposed change deletes the brackets. However, license amendment numbers 284 and 278 did not approve a risk informed completion time (RICT) for CTS 3.8.1.1 Action e. Therefore, remove or in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program from the Completion Time for ITS 3.8.1 Required Action F.2, as it is not consistent with license amendment numbers 284 and 278.
FPL Response:
"[OR In accordance with Risk Informed Completion Time Program]," will be removed from Required Action F.2. In PTN's submittal to adopt the RICT program the NRC staff had a concern associated with "loss of function". One of the industry-proposed options to address the staff's concern was to exclude the use of the loss of function provisions provided in TSTF-505 and, based on PTNs definition of OPERABLE/OPERABILITY, this included two inoperable offsite circuits as a loss of function condition. With the adoption of the ISTS definition of OPERABLE/OPERABILITY two inoperable offsite circuits is no longer a loss of function condition. However, because PTNs adoption of the RICT program did not include the ISTS option, it will be deleted.
FPL Revised Response:
The NRC's RSI and FPL's response references Required Action F.2. The Required Action under PTN's ITS Conversion LAR Revision 1 is Required Action D.2.
Discussion of Revised Response:
Change is in Required Action number only.

CTS 3.8.1.1 does not have a specific Action for an inoperable automatic load sequencer and therefore, was not evaluated under license amendment numbers 284 and 278 for Units 3 and 4, respectively. For ITS 3.8.1 required action I.1 provide the following information: (1) the success criteria parameters used to determine PRA functional determination are the same as the design-basis success criteria parameters or, if different, plant-specific analyses used to support the PRA are justified; (2) identify how the load sequencers are implicitly or explicitly modeled in the PRA; (3) CCFs and/or surrogate identification; and (4) the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) provides the capability to select the load sequencers as out-of-service in order to calculate a RICT.
FPL Response:
FPL provides the following response for RSI No, 3.8-6.
(1) There is no success criterion for the emergency load sequencers. The emergency load sequencers sequence the loading of front-line and support system components on the diesel generators when there is a loss of offsite power. There are success criteria for these components for different scenarios; therefore, the sequencers affect whether these success criteria are met given a loss of offsite power.
(2) The load sequencers are modeled under the front-line and support system fault tree logic as necessary for their operation given a loss of offsite power.
(3) Common cause failures are not modeled for the sequencers.
(4) The load sequencers may be selected as out of service in the CRMP risk monitor and their selection will result in the option to enter a RICT.
FPL Revised Response:
The NRC's RSI and FPL's response references Condition I. The Condition under PTN's ITS Conversion LAR Revision 1 is Condition H.
Discussion of Revised Response:
Change is in Condition designation only.

Condition Note K.1 states, Condition K only applies when a dual Unit shutdown is required. Condition Note K.2 states, Only one Unit can enter Condition K. The above Condition Notes are written such that they do not allow for a single Unit that doesn't meet the Required Action Completion Times for shutdown, they drive a single unit to LCO 3.0.3.
FPL Response:
FPL will revise the Condition J Note to state, "During a dual unit shutdown, Condition J only applies to one Unit."
FPL Revised Response:
FPL has revised the Conditions and Notes associated with the shutdown Required Actions to differentiate the applicable Required Actions to take based on whether a single unit shutdown is required or a dual unit shutdown is required. When a single unit is required to shut down the Condition is modified by a Note stating:
Not applicable when a dual unit shutdown is required.
When a dual unit shutdown is required, the Condition is modified by a Note stating:
Not applicable when a dual unit shutdown is required.
Discussion of Revised Response:
PTN's licensing bases is that a unit shutdown to MODE 3 is to be accomplished within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. If a single unit shutdown is required, the Required Action is to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Generally, when an ACTION statement (CTS) or Required Action (ITS) requires a dual unit shutdown, the time to be in MODE 3 is 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This is to allow the orderly shutdown of one unit at a time and NOT jeopardize the stability of the electrical grid by imposing a dual unit shutdown. The ITS Bases provides a discussion of these added Notes.

However, the SR Note is missing from ITS SR 3.8.1.6. Add the Note to ITS SR 3.8.1.6 or change the ITS Bases to be consistent with SR 3.8.1.6.
FPL Response:
The ITS Bases will be revised to remove the statement associated with a warmup period. The Note is included with ITS SR 3.8.1.6 that this Surveillance may be preceded by an engine pre-lube period however because this test is a rapid start of the EDG a warmup period is not applicable and will be removed from the ITS Bases.

This proposed Note seems to limit which LCO 3.8.1 required actions should be entered for Unit 4. If the diesel fuel oil system is not returned to service within 10 days, provide an explanation for why LCO 3.8.1 Required Actions E.2 and E.3 are left out of this Note (i.e., why the Note does not point to entering LCO 3.8.1 Condition E for Unit 4) or to entering LCO 3.8.3 Condition F.
FPL Response:
The proposed change was crafted in this manner to convert the ITS to match the CTS requirements.
The fuel supply specified for the Unit 3 EDGs (Diesel Oil Storage Tank or temporary storage system) will ensure sufficient fuel for either EDG associated with Unit 3 for at least a week.
The fuel supply specified for the Unit 4 EDGs ensures sufficient fuel for each EDG associated with Unit 4 for at least a week. This change was approved under Amendment No 197 and 191 (ADAMS Accession No ML013390410). The NRC SE states, "If 10 days of operation are exceeded using the temporary fuel oil storage system, the appropriate action statements for an inoperable but required Unit 3 EDG will be entered." The PTN CTS Note states that, "If the diesel fuel oil storage tank is not returned to service within 10 days, Technical Specification 3.8.1.1 Action b and 3.8.1.2 Action apply to Unit 4 and Unit 3 respectively." CTS 3.8.1.1, Action b has three Actions:
- 1. Demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the above required startup transformers and their associated circuits by performing Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.1.a within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> thereafter.
- 2. If the diesel generator became inoperable due to any cause other than an inoperable support system, an independently testable component, or preplanned preventative maintenance or testing, demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the remaining required diesel generators by performing Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, unless the absence of any potential common mode failure for the remaining diesel generators is determined. If testing of remaining required diesel generators is required, this testing must be performed regardless of when the inoperable diesel generator is restored to OPERABILITY.
- 3. Restore the inoperable diesel generator to OPERABLE status within 14 days** or in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program, or be in at least HOT

These three Actions in CTS are equivalent to ITS 3.8.1 Required Actions E.1, E.4, and E.5.
FPL Revised Response:
FPL has determined to eliminate the exclusion allowed by CTS when the use of the temporary Class ii fuel storage system has exceeded 10 days. All ISTS Required Actions for an inoperable EDG will be followed for the Unit 4 EDGs.
Discussion of Revised Response:
As discussed in the revised response to NRC RSI Volume 13 - Section 3.8 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A384) Question 4 the allowance provided by the discussion in Insert 11 will not be incorporated in PTN ITS conversion. Therefore, the discussion has been removed.
