Michael Kiley (FPL) to US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document ControlDesk (L-2013-024),
"Turkey Point Unit 3 -License Amendment Request No. 225Regarding One-Time Extension for Unit 3 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.5.1. .d," ADAMS Accession No. ML13071A469, March 8, 2013.On March 8, 2013, Florida Power & Light submitted the above referenced license amendment request to add a license condition for a one-time (temporary) extension for TS Surveillance Requirement 4.5.1.1.d involving an operability demonstration of the Emergency Core CoolingSystem (ECCS) accumulator check valves in order to account for the effects of rescheduling theUnit 3 refueling outage. The proposed extension to the Unit 3 refueling outage date was fromJanuary 2014 to March 2014.In a discussion with the NRC staff on July 1, 2013, the NRC requested that the proposed changebe made to the text of the individual Technical Specification, as opposed to the license condition.
In response to this request, the enclosed submittal is provided.
The wording in the proposedtechnical specification is identical to the wording in the originally proposed license condition.
A description of the proposed change is provided in the enclosure.
The proposed change doesnot change or alter the outcome of the original no significant hazard evaluation or theenvironmental consideration evaluation.
The Turkey Point Plant Nuclear Safety Committee has reviewed the proposed licenseamendment change.This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1),
a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the StateDesignee of Florida.Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Robert J. Tomonto,Licensing

The requested surveillance extension will allow two months more than the currently specified refueling outage intervalof eighteen months plus four and one half months grace period and facilitate the plant'sability to optimize fuel burnup during the current Unit 3 Cycle 26 operating cycle. Theextension is needed as a result of a longer than expected Extended Power Uprate (EPU)refueling outage and associated power ascension test program activities as well as twosubsequent forced unit outages.2.0 Description of Proposed ChangeThe proposed change involves a one-time only change to the TS 4.5. .1 .d, Surveillance Requirement for ECCS. In order to provide a more specific description of the proposedchange, a markup of the TS page is attached and a description of the change with appropriate justification is summarized in this document.
A more detailed discussion is provided inReference 1.Proposed Technical Specification ChangeFootnote added to TS Page 3/4 5-2TS Surveillance 4.5. 1.1 states "Each accumulator shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
: d. At least once per 18* months, each accumulator check valve shall be checked foroperability.
Added Footnote:
* During Unit 3 Cycle 26 only, in lieu of the Technical Specification specified 18month refueling frequency and 4.5 month grace period allowance, the maximumallowed surveillance test interval will be extended to no more than 24.5 months.Basis for the Change:The basis of the change remains the same as documented in Reference
: 1. The only difference between this document and the original License Amendment Request (LAR) is the original LARaddressed the creation of a new license condition, as opposed to this LAR supplement that addsthe proposed change to the applicable TS pages. This one-time extension addresses a single TSsurveillance requirement associated with demonstrating the operability of the ECCS accumulator check valves. The approval of this LAR avoids an early shutdown based on the previous operating cycle which did not fully account for the longer then anticipated refueling outage due to EPU.The no significant hazard evaluation, environmental assessment evaluation and conclusions remain the same as those stated in the original referenced document.

MODES 1, 2, and 3*.ACTION:a. With one accumulator inoperable, except as a result of boron concentration not being withinlimits, restore the inoperable accumulator to OPERABLE status within 1 hour or be in atleast HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours and reduce pressurizer pressure to less than1000 psig within the following 6 hours.b.
