1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated May 25, 2011, Florida Power and Light Co. (FPL, the licensee) proposed an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4. The requested changes would relocate the TSs in Section 5.2 -Containment, Section 5.4 -Reactor Coolant System, and Section 5.6 -Component Cyclic or Transient Limit, to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). TS 5.5.3 regarding spent fuel storage pool capacity would be revised to a total pool capacity limit only.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act requires applicants for nuclear power plant operating licenses to include TSs as part of the license. The Commission's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36. The TS requirements in 10 CFR 50.36 include the following categories:
(1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings and control settings, (2) limiting conditions for operation, (3) surveillance requirements, (4) design features, and (5) administrative controls.
The requirements for system operability during movement of irradiated fuel are included in the TSs in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2), "Limiting Conditions for Operation." 10 CFR 50.36(c)(4) requires that: Design features to be included are those features of the facility such as materials of construction and geometric arrangements, which, if altered or modified, would have a significant effect on safety and are not covered in categories described in paragraphs (c)(1), (2), and (3) of this sections.
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, Criterion 62 requires that: Criticality in the fuel storage and handling system shall be prevented by physical systems or processes, preferably by use of geometrically safe configurations.
TSs are intended to ensure that the most safety significant operational capabilities of the plant, as determined by the safety analysis, are maintained operable.
Details of system design and system description, including design limits are required to be described in the UFSAR by 10 CFR 50.34. In addition, the quality assurance (QA) requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 require that plant design be documented in controlled procedures and drawings and maintained in accordance with an approved QA plan (USAR Chapter 17). 10 CFR 50.59 specifies controls for changing the facility as described in the UFSAR. 10 CFR 50.54(a) specifies criteria for changing the QA plan. 3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION 3.1 Proposed Change to Section 5.2 -Containment TS 5.2, identifies the geometric values pertaining to containment height, diameter, thickness of components and free volume. TS 5.2 also identifies design temperature and pressures.
These containment design values are considered not of controlling importance to operational safety. Containment operational limits are contained in TS Section 3/4.6, Containment Systems and operational limits on containment pressure and temperature are contained in TS Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) and Surveillance Requirements (SR) Sections 3/4.6.1.4 and 3/4.6.1.5.
The containment material condition is monitored and maintained in accordance with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Inservice Inspection requirements as required by SR 4.0.5. The containment design bases and limits on its operations are required to be described in the UFSAR by 10 CFR 50.34, specifically Sections 5.1.1, "Containment Structure
-Design Basis" and 5.1.2 "Containment Structure
-General Description
& Design Loads" for Turkey Point. Therefore, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff finds that the proposed change to relocate TS 5.2 -Containment to the UFSAR is acceptable and will be consistent with the current staff precedent contained in Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (STSs). In addition, removing details of system design from TS 5.2 is acceptable because this information will be adequately controlled in the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. 3.2 Proposed Change to Section 5.4 -Reactor Coolant System TS 5.4, identifies the reactor coolant system (RCS) design pressure, temperatures, and nominal volume. To be consistent with the STSs, the licensee requested that this TS be removed and relocated to the UFSAR. The RCS operational limits are located in TS LCOs and SRs in Section 3/4.4, Reactor Coolant System. RCS operational limits for pressure and temperature are contained in TS LCOs and SRs in Section 3/4.4.9. RCS material condition is maintained via SR 4.0.5.
-3 The reactor coolant system design bases and limits are required to be described in the UFSAR by 10 CFR 50.34, specifically section 4.1, "Reactor Coolant System" for Turkey Point. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the proposed change to relocate TS 5.4 -Reactor Coolant System to the UFSAR, is acceptable and will be consistent with the current staff precedent contained in Westinghouse STSs. In addition, removing details of system design from TS 5.4 is acceptable because this information will be adequately controlled in the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. 3.3 Proposed Change to Section 5.6 -Component Cyclic or Transient Limit TS 5.6, specifies allowable cyclic or transient limits for the RCS and secondary coolant system. To be consistent with the STSs, the licensee requested that this TS be removed and relocated to the UFSAR. These limits are tracked via plant procedure O-ADM-553, Maintaining Records for Design Cycles. As stated by the licensee, while these limits are contained in 0-ADM-533, not all of the cycle or transient limits are contained in UFSAR Section 4.1. As part of implementation of this license amendment, the licensee will include the limits not already incorporated in the UFSAR. The reactor coolant system and limits are required to be described in the UFSAR by 10 CFR 50.34, specifically section 4.1, "Reactor Coolant System" for Turkey Point. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the proposed change to relocate TS 5.6 -Component Cyclic or Transient Limit to the UFSAR, is acceptable and will be consistent with the current staff precedent contained in Westinghouse STSs. In addition, removing details of system design from TS 5.6 is acceptable because this information will be adequately controlled in the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. 3.4 Proposed Change to Section 5.5.3 -Capacity Currently, TS 5.5.3 limits the fuel assembly storage capacity of regions I and II combined in each spent fuel pool (SFP), the fuel assembly storage capacity of a cask area storage rack, and the total capacity of each unit's SFP. The licensee proposed to revise TS 5.5.3 to a total SFP fuel storage capacity limit only. The capacity of individual storage racks or combination of storage racks in specific regions of the SFP is considered not of controlling importance to operational safety. STS 4.3.3 specifies a limit for overall SFP capacity.
The NRC staff finds the proposed change to revise TS 5.5.3 to only specify a total SFP fuel storage capacity limit is acceptable and consistent with the current staff precedent in STSs.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
Based upon a letter dated May 2,2003, from Michael N. Stephens of the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Control, to Brenda L. Mozafari, Senior Project Manager, NRC, the State of Florida does not desire notification of issuance of license amendments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (76 FR 64392). The amendment also relates to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c}(9}
and 10 CFR 51.22(c}(1 0). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
