P.O.Box 029100, Miami, FL, 33102-9100 OIS 18'(992 L-92-338 10 CFR 50.46 U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C.20555 Re: Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos.50-250 and 50-251 10 CFR 50.46,"Acceptance Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems In Light Water Nuclear Power Reactors"-Annual Re ort Gentlemen:

10 CFR 50.46 (a)(3)(ii) requires that licensees report to the Commission at least annually the nature of changes to, or errors discovered in, the emergency core cooling system (ECCS)evaluation models, or in the application of such models that affect the peak clad temperature calculation and their effect on the limiting ECCS analysis.This letter provides Florida Power and Light Company's report for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 for calendar year 1992.Should there be any questions, please contact us.Very truly yours, Wr.7/~EH 8 T.F.Plunkett Vice President.

Recent corrections to LBLOCA modelling have resulted in a decrease in the peak clad temperature for the worst case LBLOCA of 3'F for a total of 2129'F.This 3 F benefit is a result of a revision in the grid loss coefficients for the Optimized Fuel Assemblies (OFA).The LBLOCA analysis as de'scribed in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)was performed by Westinghouse in 1991 using the BART computer model with fuel assembly spacer grids.Small Break LOCA SBLOCA By letter L-91-165, Florida Power and Light Company reported a peak clad temperature of 1749'F in the event of a worst case small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA)transient.

This value was based upon a new Turkey Point SBLOCA analysis performed by Westinghouse in 1991 using the NOTRUMP digital computer code.Recent plant changes and corrections in SBLOCA coding have resulted in a decrease in the peak clad temperature for the worst case SBLOCA of 33'F for a total of 1716'F.This value includes a 2'F increase due to the presence of stainless steel rods in fuel assemblies, and a 35'F benefit due to a NOTRUMP Bessel function correction.

C L-92-338 Attachment Page 2~Summa+The revised peak clad temperatures of 2129'F for the worst case LBLOCA and 1716'F for the worst case SBLOCA, correcting for the effects discussed herein and summarized in the enclosed Tables 1 and 2, are below the 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance limit of 2200'F.
