POLICY ISSUE

NOTATION VOTE

May 17, 2002 SECY-02-0088

FOR: The Commissioners

FROM: William D. Travers

Executive Director for Operations

SUBJECT: TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 3 AND 4, RENEWAL OF

FULL-POWER OPERATING LICENSES

PURPOSE:

To inform the Commission of the results of the NRC staff’s review of the license renewal

application for the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point Units 3 and 4),

submitted by Florida Power and Light Company (hereafter referred to as FPL or the applicant),

and request that the Commission authorize the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation (NRR) to make the appropriate findings and renew the operating licenses for Turkey

Point Units 3 and 4 for an additional 20 years.

BACKGROUND:

By letter dated September 8, 2000 (Reference 1), FPL submitted its application to renew the

operating licenses for Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, in accordance with Parts 51 and 54 of Title

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In its submittal, the applicant requested renewal

of operating licenses DPR-31 for Unit 3 and DPR-41 for Unit 4, which were initially issued under

Section 104b of the Atomic Energy Act, for a period of 20 years beyond the current license

expiration dates of midnight July 19, 2012, for Unit 3, and midnight April 10, 2013, for Unit 4.
The Commissioners -2-

DISCUSSION:

The staff performed its safety review of the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 license renewal

application in accordance with 10 CFR Part 54, using guidance in NRR Office Letter 805,

“License Renewal Application Review Process,” and the draft “Standard Review Plan for the

Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants,” dated June 2000. 

NUREG-1759, “Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of the Turkey Point

Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4” (Reference 2), and Supplement 1 (Reference 3) describe the

results of the staff’s review of the applicant’s scoping and screening, aging management

programs, and time-limited aging analyses, in accordance with the requirements of 

10 CFR Part 54.

The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 license renewal application included a supplement to the final 

safety analysis report (FSAR), as required by 10 CFR 54.21(d). The applicant subsequently

transmitted a revised FSAR supplement by a letter dated November 1, 2001. The revision

superseded the version in the application. The revised FSAR supplement contains a summary

description of the applicant’s programs and activities for managing the effects of aging and the

applicant’s evaluation of the time-limited aging analyses for the period of extended operation. 

The staff reviewed the revised FSAR supplement and found that it meets the requirements of

10 CFR 54.21(d). The attached proposed renewed licenses require that the applicant include

the FSAR supplement in the updated FSAR (UFSAR), which is scheduled for release in

October 2002. Until the UFSAR update is completed, a condition in the proposed renewed

licenses requires that any changes to the FSAR supplement be made in accordance with 10

CFR 50.59. This assures the NRC that these programs, maintenance activities, and

inspection procedures will be adequately controlled. 

The FSAR supplement also identifies future actions. Throughout NUREG-1759 and 

Supplement 1, the staff describes various schedules for future actions. These schedules reflect

the staff’s determination that the future actions are not required for operation during the existing

license term; however, they are required to be completed before entering the period of extended

operation to effectively manage aging. The proposed renewed licenses include license

conditions for the completion of these future actions. The applicant can change the schedules

for these actions without prior NRC approval as long as the actions are completed in accordance

with the license condition.

On the basis of its safety evaluation, as described in NUREG-1759 and Supplement 1, the staff

reached the following conclusions, in accordance with 10 CFR 54.29:

(1) Actions have been identified and have been or will be taken with respect to

managing the effects of aging during the period of extended operation on the

functionality of structures and components that have been identified to require an

aging management review under 10 CFR 54.21(a)(1).

(2) Actions have been identified and have been or will be taken with respect to timelimited aging analyses that have been identified to require review under

10 CFR 54.21(c).
The Commissioners -3-

Accordingly, the staff finds that there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by

the renewed licenses will continue to be conducted in accordance with the current licensing

bases for Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4.

To support the review of the applicant’s license renewal application, Region II conducted two

inspections. The inspections were conducted in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter

2516, “Policy and Guidance for the License Renewal Inspection Programs,” and Inspection

Procedure 71002, “License Renewal Inspection.” As described in the memorandum from

Bruce S. Mallett, Acting Regional Administrator, NRC Region II, dated February 1, 2002

(Reference 4), the results of these two inspections verified that the applicant implemented the

scoping and screening methodology and established aging management programs in

conformance with the descriptions in the application for license renewal, and that there is

reasonable assurance that the applicant’s aging management programs provide an adequate

basis for renewing the licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 for an additional 20 years. 

 The staff issued the safety evaluation report (SER) with open items on August 17, 2001

(Reference 5). On September 25, 2001, the staff and the applicant briefed the Advisory

Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) Subcommittee on Plant License Renewal on the

SER and the ACRS full committee on October 5, 2001. After the open items were resolved, the

ACRS subcommittee and the full committee were briefed again on March 13, and April 11,

2002, respectively. On April 19, 2002, the ACRS issued its “Report on the Safety Aspects of

the License Renewal Application for the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4.” In its report

(included in Section 5 of NUREG-1759, Reference 2), the ACRS recommended that the

Commission approve the application for license renewal and concluded that the programs

instituted to manage aging-related degradation were appropriate and provided reasonable

assurance that Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 can be operated safely in accordance with their

licensing bases for the period of extended operation without undue risk to the health and safety

of the public.

The staff performed its environmental review of the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 license renewal

application in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51, using the guidelines described in the “Standard

Review Plan for Environmental Reviews for Nuclear Power Plants, Supplement 1: Operating

License Renewal,” NUREG-1555, Supplement 1, dated March 2000. On October 24, 2000, the

staff published a Notice of Intent (65 FR 63636) to prepare an environmental impact statement

(EIS) and conduct scoping, initiating a 60-day scoping period. The EIS, prepared by the staff

for the plant-specific review, is a supplement to the Generic Environmental Impact Statement

(GEIS), NUREG-1437, which was codified in 10 CFR Part 51 for license renewal. The EIS for

Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is Supplement 5 to the GEIS (SEIS). Two public meetings were

held in Homestead, Florida, on July 17, 2001. During these meetings, the staff described the

approach and results of the NRC’s environmental review and answered questions from

members of the public to help them formulate their comments. The comment period for the

draft SEIS ended on September 6, 2001. 

The staff evaluated the comments received on the draft SEIS and considered the

environmental impacts of the proposed action, the environmental impacts of alternatives to the

proposed action, and the alternatives available for reducing or avoiding adverse impacts. The
The Commissioners -4-

 final version of the SEIS for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 license renewal application was

issued on January 11, 2002 (Reference 6). The dispositions of the comments from members of

the public are discussed in the SEIS. As discussed in Section 9.3 of the SEIS, the staff

determined that, on the basis of (1) the analysis and findings in the “Generic Environmental

Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants,” NUREG-1437; (2) the

Environmental Report submitted by the applicant; (3) consultation with other Federal, State, and

local agencies; (4) the staff’s own independent review; and (5) the staff’s consideration of public

comments, the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal for Turkey Point Units 3 and

4 are not so great that preserving the option of license renewal for energy planning

decisionmakers would be unreasonable.

In accordance with 10 CFR 54.19(b), license renewal applications must include “conforming

changes to the standard indemnity agreement, 10 CFR 140.92, Appendix B, to account for the

expiration term of the proposed renewed license.” The staff intends to keep the same license

numbers for the renewed licenses. Therefore, there is no need to make conforming changes to

the indemnity agreement, and the requirements of 10 CFR 54.19(b) have been met.

As a result of the staff’s review of the applicant’s license renewal application, the staff

recommends that the Commission authorize the Director of NRR to make the appropriate

findings and then issue the attached renewed operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4

for an additional 20 years of operation. 

COORDINATION:

The Office of the General Counsel has reviewed this paper and has no legal objections to its

content. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer also has reviewed this paper and because

there are no resource implications, OCFO concurrence is not required.

RECOMMENDATION:

On the basis of the above discussion, the NRC staff recommends that the Commission:

(1) Authorize the Director of NRR to renew the operating licenses for Turkey Point Units 3

and 4 after making the appropriate findings on safety and environmental matters.

(2) Note that the staff will make any necessary conforming changes to the renewed licenses

as a result of any pending licensing actions while the Commission is considering the

staff’s recommendations.
