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 10 CFR 50.46(a) (3) (ii) requires that licensees report to the Commission within 30 days 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 significantly affect the peak clad temperature calculation and their effect on the limiting ECCS analysis. On December 20, 1997, the NRC issued Amendment No. 195 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-31 for Turkey Point Unit 3, and Amendment No. 189 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-41 for Turkey Point Unit 4, approving application of the Westinghouse generic Best Estimate (BE) Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) analysis evaluation model for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. This letter provides Florida Power and Light Company's update as a result of implementation of Amendments 195/189 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and also fulfills the annual reporting requirement per 10 CFR 50.46(a) (3) (ii) . The last annual

'eport was submitted by FPL letter L-97-133 dated May 23, 1997.

Attachment L-98-010 Page 1 of 3 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 and 2, are below the 10 CFR 50.46 Emergency Core 1

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) .
