Attachment Page 1 of 3 L-98-010 By letter L-97-133, dated May 23, 1997, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL)reported a Peak Clad Temperature (PCT)of 1666 F for the worst case SBLOCA transient analysis.There are no changes to, or errors discovered in the ECCS SBLOCA evaluation models, or in the application of such models that affect the PCT since the last report documented by FPL letter L-97-133.By letter L-97-133, dated May 23, 1997, FPL reported a PCT of 2159'F for the worst case LBLOCA transient analysis.On December 20, 1997, the NRC issued Amendment 195 to Facility Operating License No.DPR-31 for Turkey Point Unit 3, and Amendment 189 to Facility Operating License No.DPR-41 for the Turkey Point Unit 4, approving application of the Westinghouse generic Best Estimate (BE)LBLOCA analysis evaluation model for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.Based on the PCT reported in L-97-133 of 2159'F, the net change in PCT for the worst case LBLOCA is a 92'F decrease in PCT, for a total PCT of 2067'F.The peak clad temperature of 1666'F for the worst case SBLOCA and the revised PCT of 2067'F for the worst case LBLOCA, as summarized in Tables 1 and 2, are below the 10 CFR 50.46 Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)acceptance criteria limit of 2200'F.Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 remain in compliance with the ECCS performance criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.46 (b).
