Florida Power & Light Company (the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 (Turkey Point 3 and 4), which are contained in Appendix A of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41. The licensee proposed to revise the TSs to relocate to licensee-controlled documents, select acceptance criteria specified in TS surveillance requirements (SRs) credited for satisfying lnservice Testing (1ST) Program and lnservice Inspection (ISi) Program requirements, delete the SRs for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components, replace references to the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP) with reference to the Turkey Point 1ST Program where appropriate, establish a Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Flywheel Inspection Program, and make related editorial changes. Additionally, the licensee proposed to delete a redundant SR for accumulator check valve testing and add a footnote to the SR for Pressure Isolation Valve (PIV) testing to state that PIVs actuated during the performance of the surveillance are not required to be tested more than once if a repetitive testing loop cannot be avoided. On August 29, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff published a proposed no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) determination in the Federal Register (82 FR 41069) for the proposed amendment.

By electronic mail (e-mail) dated January 25, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 18029A043), the staff sent the licensee a request for additional information (RAI). The licensee responded to the RAI by letter dated February 28, 2018. In its letter dated February 28, 2018, the licensee provided additional information that expanded the scope of the amendment request as originally noticed in the Federal Register.

Accordingly, the NRC staff published a second proposed NSHC determination in the Federal Register on April 10, 2018 (83 FR 15417), which superseded the original notice in its entirety.

Enclosure 3

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1. Description

of ISi Requirements, 1ST Requirements, and the SFCP ISi Requirements ISi activities are intended to detect precursors to pressure boundary failures in reactor coolant systems, emergency core cooling systems, risk-significant piping and components, and containment systems. The regulations at paragraph 50.55a(g) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), "Preservice and lnservice Inspection Requirements," require, in part, that Classes 1, 2, 3, metal containment, and concrete containment components and their supports meet the requirements of Section XI, "Rules for lnservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, or equivalent quality standards.

ISi activities are accomplished over successive 120-month intervals during the operating life of the plant. 1ST Requirements An inservice test is a test to assess the operational readiness of a system, structure, or component after first electrical generation by nuclear heat. The ASME Operations and Maintenance (OM) Code provides requirements for inservice testing of certain components in light-water nuclear power plants. The ASME OM Code identifies the components subject to the testing (i.e., pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints), responsibilities, methods, intervals, parameters to be measured and evaluated, criteria for evaluating results, corrective actions, personnel qualification, and recordkeeping.

Paragraph 50.55a(f) of 10 CFR, "Preservice and lnservice testing requirements," requires, in part, that inservice testing of certain ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components must meet the requirements of the ASME OM Code and applicable addenda. The TSs also prescribe inservice testing requirements and frequencies for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components.

The SFCP is a licensee-controlled program in which most time-based frequencies were relocated from the TSs, in accordance with NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b -Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." By letter dated July 16, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 15166A320), the NRC approved the licensee's request to adopt a Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specifications (STSs) change, TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control -RITSTF [Risk Informed TSTF] Initiative 5b," which established the SFCP at Turkey Point 3 and 4. The SFCP, which is defined in TS 6.8.4.1, permits the licensee to revise surveillance frequencies based on risk insights from probabilistic risk assessments, plant operational experience, and other factors, without prior NRC authorization. 2.2 Licensee's Proposed Changes Deletion of SR 4.0.5 and Relocation of RCP Flywheel Inspection Requirements The licensee proposes to delete SR 4.0.5.a through SR 4.0.5.f, transferring the requirements of SR 4.0.5.f to a new program entitled "Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program." This new program would be described in a new entry in TS 6.8.4, as indicated below: n. Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program Each Reactor Coolant Pump flywheel shall be inspected at least once every 20 years by either conducting an in-place ultrasonic examination over the volume from the inner bore of the flywheel to the circle of one-half the outer radius, or by conducting a surface examination (magnetic particle and/or liquid penetrant) of exposed surfaces of the disassembled flywheel.

Relocation of Acceptance Criteria in Select SRs Credited by the 1ST Program The licensee proposes to relocate the acceptance criteria for the Safety Injection (SI), Residual Heat Removal (RHR), and Containment Spray (CS) pumps from SR 4.5.2.c, Figure 3.5-1, and SR 4.6.2.1.b from the TSs to the 1ST Program procedures.

In addition, the acceptance criteria contained in SR 4.5.2.c would be placed in the TS Bases. The proposed changes would result in the deletion of Figure 3.5-1, as well as the following changes to SR 4.5.2.c and SR 4.6.2.1.b (deletions shown in stricken text and additions underlined):

  • SR 4.5.2 c. By verifying the each SI and RHR pump's developed head at the test flow point is greater than or equal to the required developed head develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM.
  • SR 4.6.2.1 1) 51 pump > 1083 psid at a metered flowrate > 300 gpm (normal alignment or Unit 4 51 pumps aligned to Unit 3 RVV5T), or > 1113 psid at a metered flowrate :<=t 280 gpm (Unit 3 51 pumps aligned to Unit 4 RW5T) 2) Rl=f R pump Develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions in accordance with Figure 3.5 1. b. By verifying that each Containment Spray pump's developed head at the test flow point is greater than or equal to the required developed head 8fl- recirculation flow, each pump develops the indicated differential pressure, when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. Containment Spray Pump >241.6 psid while aligned in recirculation Replacement of References to the SFCP in SRs Credited by the 1ST Program The licensee proposes to replace references to the SFCP in SRs 4.4.4, 4.4.6.2.2, and 4.4.11 with references to the 1ST Program. In addition, the licensee proposes to add a footnote to SR 4.4.6.2.2.d to designate that PIV testing is not required more than once if a repetitive testing loop cannot be avoided. The proposed changes would result in the following changes to SRs 4.4.4, 4.4.6.2.2, and 4.4.11 (deletions shown in stricken text and additions underlined):
  • SR 4.4.4 4.4.4 In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM each block valve shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by operating the valve through one complete cycle of full travel unless the block valve is closed with power removed in order to meet the requirements of Specification 3.4.4 or is close to provide isolation function.
a. ~When tested in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. b. Prior to entering MODE 2 whenever the plant has been in COLD SHUTDOWN for 7 days or more and if leakage testing has not been performed in the previous 9 months.:.,-aoo
c. Prior to returning the valve to service following maintenance, repair or replacement work on the valve. DELETED d. Following valve actuation due to automatic or manual action or flow through the valve~: 1. Within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> by verifying valve closure, and 2. Prior to entering Mode 2 by verifying leakage rate.
  • RCS Pressure Isolation Valves actuated during the performance of this surveillance are not required to be tested more than once if a repetitive testing loop cannot be avoided.
  • In aooordanoe with the Surveillanoe Frequenoy Control Program*, eaoh aooumulator oheok val1.ie shall be oheoked for operability.

Deleted During Unit 3 Cyole 26 only, in lieu of the Teohnioal Speoifioation speoified 18 month refueling frequenoy and 4.5 month graoe period allowanoe, the maximum allowed surveillanoe test interval will be extended to no more than 24.5 months. Regulatory Review The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's application to determine whether (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) activities proposed 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 the health and safety of the public. The NRC staff considered the following regulatory requirements, guidance, and licensing and design-basis information during its review of the proposed changes. Paragraph 50.36(c)(3) of 10 CFR states, in part, that the TS shall contain SRs relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Paragraph 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states that administrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Paragraph 50.55a(f) of 10 CFR states, in part, that systems and components of pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the 1ST requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code and ASME OM Code, as specified later in the paragraph.

Further, 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(ii) states, in part, that if a revised 1ST program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility, the licensee must apply to the NRC for amendment of the TSs to conform them to the revised program. Paragraph 50.55a(g) of 1 O CFR states, in part, that systems and components of pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors must meet the ISi requirements of the ASME BPV Code, as specified later in the paragraph.

Further, 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(ii) states, in part, that if a revised ISi program for a facility conflicts with the TSs for the facility, the licensee must apply to the NRC for amendment of the TSs to conform them to the revised program. NUREG-1431, Revision 4, Volume 1, "Standard Technical Specifications

-Westinghouse Plants" (ADAMS Accession No. ML 12100A222).

Although the Turkey Point 3 and 4 TSs are not based on the guidance in NUREG-1431, the STSs present an acceptable method for licensees of Westinghouse plants to meet the NRC's requirements in 10 CFR 50.36. TSTF-545, Revision 3, "TS lnservice Testing Program Removal & Clarify SR Usage Rule Application to Section 5.5 Testing" was published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2016 (81 FR 17208). TSTF-545, Revision 3 provides guidance to licensees on how to request license amendments that would eliminate conflicting requirements between 10 CFR 50.55a and the TSs. The NRC staff approved the licensee's request to adopt TSTF-545, Revision 3 at Turkey Point by Amendments 274 and 269, dated April 7, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17027A078)

3.0 TECHNICAL

EVALUATION The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's application to determine if the proposed changes are consistent with the guidance, regulations, and plant-specific design and licensing basis information discussed in Section 2.3 of this safety evaluation.

3.1 Deletion

of SR 4.0.5 and Relocation of RCP Flywheel Inspection Requirements In its application dated June 28, 2017, as modified by letter dated February 28, 2018, the licensee proposed to delete SR 4.0.5.a, SR 4.0.5.b, SR 4.0.5.c, SR 4.0.5.d, and SR 4.0.5.f, relocating the requirements of SR 4.0.5.f to ISi Program procedures.

In addition, the licensee proposed to add a new paragraph n in TS 6.8.4 entitled, "Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program," to describe the new program. 3.1.1 Deletion of SR 4.0.5.a and SR 4.0.5.b The licensee proposed to delete SR 4.0.5.a and SR 4.0.5.b, which require that ISi of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME BPV Code and Applicable Addenda, as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. The regulations at 10 CFR 50.55a(g) require, in part, that a plant-specific ISi program be developed and implemented by the nuclear facility owner in accordance with the applicable edition and addenda of the Section XI of the ASME Code. Pursuant to the regulations at 1 O CFR 50.55a(g), the licensee has developed and implemented a plant-specific ISi program, including inspection frequencies.

Therefore, the NRC staff finds that TS 4.0.5.a and TS 4.0.5.b are duplicative of the requirements at 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and not necessary.

Furthermore, the proposed change is consistent with the STSs contained in NUREG-1431.

The STSs do not include ISi requirements on the basis that requirements to perform ISls are contained in the plant-specific ISi Program. As such, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change does not eliminate any ISi activities, which will continue to be covered by the existing ISi Program at Turkey Point 3 and 4, and that SR 4.0.5.a and SR 4.0.5.b are not necessary to meet the requirements of 1 O CFR 50.36(c)(3).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed deletion of SR 4.0.5.a and SR 4.0.5.b acceptable.

3.1.2 Deletion

of SR 4.0.5.c The licensee proposed to delete SR 4.0.5.c, which states that the requirements of SR 4.0.2 apply to the ISi activities identified in SR 4.0.5.b. SR 4.0.2 allows up to a 25-percent extension of the surveillance interval identified in an SR The regulations of 10 CFR 50.55a(g) require, in part, that a plant-specific ISi program be developed and implemented by the nuclear facility owner in accordance with the applicable edition and addenda of the Section XI of the ASME Code. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g), the licensee has developed and implemented a specific ISi program, including specific inspection frequencies without a 25-percent frequency allowance.

The requirements at 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(ii) require that if a revised ISi program for a facility conflicts with the TSs, the licensee shall apply to the NRC for amendment of the TSs to conform the TSs to the revised ISi program. SR 4.0.5.c conflicts with the regulations and Section XI requirements because it allows for a 25-percent frequency extension for ISi activities.

Further, because the frequencies are governed by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and Section XI of the ASME Code, SR 4.0.5.c is not necessary to meet the requirements at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the deletion of SR 4.0.5.c acceptable.

3.1.3 Deletion

of SR 4.0.5.d The licensee proposed to delete SR 4.0.5.d, which requires ISi activities to be performed in addition to other TS-specified SRs. SR 4.0.5.d is redundant because ISi activities are required to be performed in accordance with the regulations at 10 CFR 50.55a(g).

As such, SR 4.0.5.d is not necessary to meet the requirements at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the deletion of SR 4.0.5.d acceptable.

3.1.4 Deletion

of SR 4.0.5.f and Relocation of Requirement to RCP Flywheel Inspection Program The licensee proposed to delete SR 4.0.5.f, which specifies the periodicity, scope and methodology for non-destructive examination of the RCP flywheels.

The proposed change deletes SR 4.0.5.f and relocates the RCP flywheel inspection requirements to a new program in TS 6.8.4.n, "Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program." Relocation of the RCP flywheel inspection requirements to ISi Program procedures and the establishment of TS 6.8.4.n is consistent with Section 5.5 of STSs contained in NUREG-1431.

Further, the proposed inspection of the RCP flywheel at least once every 20 years is consistent with the inspection requirement in current SR 4.0.5.f and with the STS (STS 5.5. 7). The NRC staff finds the proposed deletion of TS 4.0.5.f does not impact the licensee's implementation or performance of the TS-required inspection and is consistent with the requirements at 1 O CFR 50.36(c)(5).

Therefore, the deletion of SR 4.0.5.f, the relocation of the RCP flywheel inspection requirements to ISi Program procedures and the establishment of TS 6.8.4.n are acceptable.

3.2 Relocation

of Acceptance Criteria in Select SRs Credited by the 1ST Program 3.2.1 Relocation of Acceptance Criteria in SR 4.5.2.c.1 and SR 4.5.2.c.2 to 1ST Program Procedures The licensee proposed to relocate the acceptance criteria in SR 4.5.2.c and Figure 3.5-1 to 1ST Program procedures.

This change would delete Figure 3.5-1 and revise SR 4.5.2.c to state the following:

By verifying that each SI and RHR pump's developed head at the test flow point is greater than or equal to the required developed head in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. 3.2.1.1 Relocation of Acceptance Criteria in SR 4.5.2.c.1 to 1ST Program Procedures The proposed change replaces the acceptance criteria specified in SR 4.5.2.c.1 with a statement that each SI pump's developed head at the test flow point shall be equal to or greater than the required developed head when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TEST PROGRAM. These acceptance criteria are incorporated in the INSERVICE TEST PROGRAM procedures.

The licensee stated that to ensure that pump performance does not degrade below that assumed in the plant safety analyses, 1ST Program procedures specify the minimum allowable pump differential pressure as the most restrictive of the required (i.e., the design basis minimum and the minimum allowed by ASME OM Code). Hence, testing of the SI pump in accordance with 1ST program procedures would neither change the methodology, nor the manner in which the test results are evaluated, as required by SR 4.5.2.c.1.

In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee confirmed that the 1ST program test procedures are designed to demonstrate compliance with both the SR 4.5.2.c.1 and the ASME OM Code operability requirements.

Furthermore, these changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3, and, as such, consistent with the regulations at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) and 10 CFR 50.55a(f).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

3.2.1.2 Relocation of Acceptance Criteria in SR 4.5.2.c.2 to 1ST Program Procedures The proposed changes also delete the RHR pump curve in Figure 3.5-1 and replace the acceptance criteria specified in SR 4.5.2.c.2 with a statement that each RHR pump's developed head at the test flow point shall be equal to or greater than the required developed head when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TEST PROGRAM. These acceptance criteria are incorporated in the INSERVICE TEST PROGRAM procedures.

The licensee stated that to ensure that pump performance does not degrade below that assumed in the plant safety analyses, 1ST Program procedures specify the minimum allowable pump differential pressure deletion of Figure 3.5.1 and testing the RHR pumps in accordance with 1ST program procedures would neither change the methodology nor the manner in which the test results are evaluated as required by TS 4.5.2.c.2.

In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee confirmed that the 1ST program test procedures are designed to demonstrate compliance with both the SR 4.5.2.c.2 and the ASME OM Code operability requirements.

Furthermore, these changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3, and, as such, consistent with the regulations at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) and 10 CFR 50.55a(f).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

3.2.2 Relocation

of Acceptance Criteria in 4.6.2.1.b to 1ST Program Procedures SR 4.6.2.1.b.

specifies the CS pumps' minimum allowable flp when tested under the specified conditions for pump recirculation flow. The licensee's proposed change would replace the minimum allowable flp specified in SR 4.6.2.1.b with a statement that each pump's developed head at the test flow point shall be greater than or equal to the required developed head when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. The licensee stated that that acceptance criteria for the CS pumps, which are incorporated in the 1ST Program procedures, account for available margin for the test and ensure that the design basis minimums are met. The licensee further stated that the CS pump flow must be established through the pump mini-recirculation piping or otherwise by substantially throttling flow through full-flow recirculation piping in order to satisfy the current test conditions specified in SR 4.6.2.1.b.

However, since the licensee's installation of full-flow recirculation piping in 2012, quarterly CS pump testing is still required under mini-recirculation conditions in order to satisfy SR 4.6.2.1.b, and full-flow recirculation conditions is also performed to fulfill 1ST Program requirements.

Because the testing under full flow test is more desirable than the quarterly CS pump testing through the mini-recirculation line, the NRC staff finds that replacing the SR 4.6.2.1.b with an 1ST full-flow test is acceptable.

To ensure that CS pump performance does not degrade below that assumed in plant safety analyses, 1ST Program procedures specify the minimum allowable flp as the more restrictive of the required flp and the minimum flp allowed by ASME OM Code. Hence, replacing the CS pump mini-recirculation test requirement and minimum allowable flp in SR 4.6.2.1.b with a statement that each CS pump's developed head at the test flow point shall be greater than or equal to the required developed head when tested in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is acceptable.

The purpose of the 1ST program is to monitor the degradation and rate of degradation, and to determine the operational readiness of a component for the period until the next 1ST. The purpose of a SR is used to determine the operability of a component (during the period since the last SR was performed and going into a new period). In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee confirmed that the 1ST program test procedures are designed to demonstrate compliance with both the SR 4.6.2.1.b and the ASME OM Code operability requirements.

Furthermore, the relocation of acceptance criteria to 1ST is consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3, and, as such, consistent with the regulations at 10 CFR 50.36( c)(3) and 10 CFR 50.55a(f).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the proposed changes are acceptable.

3.3 Replacement

of References to the SFCP in SRs Credited by the 1ST Program In its application dated June 28, 2017, the licensee proposed to replace references to the SFCP in SR 4.4.4, and SR 4.4.6.2.2.a, SR 4.4.6.2.2.d with references to testing in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. The licensee also proposed to relocate the reference to the SFCP from SR 4.4.11 to SR 4.4.11.a and SR 4.4.11.c, and modify SR 4.4.11. b to reference testing in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM. Further, the licensee proposed to end SR 4.4.6.2.2.b with a period and delete SR 4.4.6.2.2.c, which requires each Reactor Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valve to be demonstrated OPERABLE prior to returning them to service following maintenance, repair, or replacement.

Finally, the licensee proposed to delete the footnote denoted by an asterisk for SR 4.5.1.1, which specifies the maximum allowed surveillance test interval for Unit 3 Cycle 26, as this requirement is no longer applicable.

In its RAI response letter dated February 28, 2018, the licensee proposed to delete SR 4.5.1.1.d and to add a footnote with an asterisk in SR 4.4.6.2.2.d.

3.3.1 Replacement

of References to the SFCP with References to the 1ST Program in SR 4.4.4, SR 4.4.6.2.2.a, and SR 4.4.11.b The licensee stated in its application that SR 4.4.4, SR 4.4.6.2.2.a, and SR 4.4.11.b are credited for satisfying 1ST Program requirements and that replacing references to the SFCP with references to testing in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM is reasonable because the SFCP cannot modify the 1ST frequency established in 10 CFR 50.55a. In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee clarified its requested change to SR 4.4.11 by stating that "the change merely relocates the generic reference to SFCP in SR 4.4.11 to apply explicitly to SR 4.4.11.a and SR 4.4.11.c, and changes SR 4.4.11.b to specify testing in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM." The NRC staff agrees that the proposed changes to the SRs would not change any frequencies and would ensure that the SFCP cannot be used to reduce the frequency of SRs credited for satisfying 1ST program requirements.

Furthermore, these changes are consistent with TSTF-545, Revision 3, as such, consistent with the regulations at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) and 10 CFR 50.55a(f).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

3.3.2 Deletion

of SR 4.4.6.2.2.c SR 4.4.6.2.2.c requires that each Reactor Coolant System PIV specified in Table 3.4.1 shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by verifying leakage to be within its limit prior to returning the valve to service following maintenance, repair or replacement work on the valve. The licensee proposed to delete SR 4.4.6.2.2.c because it is redundant with the requirements of Appendix B to 1 O CFR Part 50,Section XIV, "Inspection, Test, and Operating Status,"Section XV, "Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components," and Section XVI, "Corrective Action." In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee stated that the requirements of SR 4.4.6.2.2.c are embedded in its work management processes, which subject structures, systems, and components undergoing maintenance, repair or replacement to post-maintenance testing prior to returning to service. The licensee's Nuclear Fleet Administrative procedure MA-M-203-1000, "Maintenance Testing," specifies post-maintenance testing in order to provide positive verification that the preventive or corrective maintenance activity corrected the original component deficiency, did not introduce a new deficiency, and provides a high degree of confidence that the component(s) worked-upon will perform intended design function(s) reliably when placed in service. The licensee's Nuclear Fleet procedure WM-M-200, "Work Management Process Overview," requires return-to-service testing following maintenance, which is defined in WM-M-200 as operability testing performed to demonstrate the satisfactory operation of plant structures, systems, and components after maintenance.

These fleet requirements are transcribed into site-specific procedures to assure uniform adherence to the post-maintenance performance expectations within. All structures, systems, and components undergoing maintenance, repair or replacement are thereby subject to post-maintenance testing that demonstrates operability, including PIV leak testing where applicable.

Additionally, the licensee stated that SR 4.4.6.2.2.c is not sufficiently comprehensive to establish PIV operability following maintenance, repair or replacement.

The Turkey Point 3 and 4 PIVs also perform a safety function in the open direction and, as such, are subject to exercise-open testing in accordance with the 1ST Program. Failure to satisfy the exercise-open testing following maintenance, repair or replacement can preclude a declaration of operability.

The NRC staff notes that SR 4.4.6.2.2.c is comparable to the repair and replacement requirements of ASME OM Code paragraphs ISTC-3630(e) and ISTC-5115(e).

Since 10 CFR 50.55a(f) requires compliance with the ASME OM Code, paragraphs ISTC-3630(e) and ISTC-5115(e) supersede and thereby render SR 4.4.6.2.2.c unnecessary.

Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the deletion of SR 4.4.6.2.2.c is acceptable.

3.3.3 Addition

of a Footnote to SR 4.4.6.2.2.d In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee proposed to modify SR 4.4.6.2.2.d regarding PIV testing. Specifically, the proposed change adds a footnote to SR 4.4.6.2.2.d to state that PIVs actuated during the performance of the SR are not required to be tested more than once if a repetitive testing loop cannot be avoided. The proposed change is necessary to avoid repetitive testing of normal RHR inlet from reactor coolant system motor-operated valves, MOV-750 and MOV-751. These valves are in series, leakage testing one in accordance with SR 4.4.6.2.2.d requires cycling open the other, and thereby subjects the opened valve to another leakage test. As such, an infinite testing loop cannot be avoided. The proposed change is consistent with the STSs contained in NUREG-1431, which contains a similar provision for PIV leakage testing. As such, the proposed change is consistent with the requirements at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed change is acceptable.

3.3.4 Deletion

of SR 4.5.1.1.d In its RAI response dated February 28, 2018, the licensee proposed the deletion of SR 4.5.1.1.d and its associated footnote.

The licensee stated that SR 4.5.1.1.d currently requires operability testing of the accumulator discharge check valves, but neither specifies test criteria, nor conditions.

Instead, SR 4.5.1.1.d is satisfied by testing in accordance with the 1ST Program whereby the accumulator discharge check valves are subject to exercise open and closure testing consistent with ASME OM Code requirements.

The current SFCP-specified frequency for testing the accumulator discharge check valves aligns with test frequency in the 1ST Program such that the proposed deletion of SR 4.5.1.1.d will not impact the test periodicity.

1ST Program requirements derive from 10 CFR 50.55a(f) and as such, the ASME OM Code requirements for testing the accumulator discharge check valves supersede and thereby render SR 4.5.1.1.d unnecessary.

Moreover, deletion of SR 4.5.1.1.d is consistent with the STSs contained in NUREG-1431, which does not specify a SR for the accumulator discharge check requirements for testing the accumulator discharge check valves supersede and thereby render SR 4.5.1.1.d unnecessary.

Moreover, deletion of SR 4.5.1.1.d is consistent with the STSs contained in NUREG-1431, which does not specify a SR for the accumulator discharge check valves. As such, the proposed change is consistent with the requirements at 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3).

Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the NRC staff notified the State of Florida official (Ms. Cynthia Becker, M.P.H., Chief of the Bureau of Radiation Control, Florida Department of Health) on May 10, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 18131A184), of the proposed issuance of the amendments.

The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSIDERATION The amendments change requirements with respect to the use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements.

The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve 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, which was published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2018 (83 FR 15417), that the amendments involve NSHC, and there has been no public comment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 1 O CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the aforementioned considerations, 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.
