(Nov. 19, 1980), contains general and specific requirements for
protecting electric cables from fire hazards. The specific
requirements section of appendix R provides detailed requirements
for “separation of cables and equipment” and “enclosure of cable
and equipment”. In a letter dated October 11, 1985, FPL
explained to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation that:
[FPL] notified the NRC in late August 1985 concerning
an additional scope of work identified relating to * *
* Appendix R requirements at our Turkey Point Nuclear
facility.
The additional scope of Appendix R work was
identified as a result of an evaluation of the original
Appendix R Safe Shutdown analysis, and was completed in
September 1985. In August 1985, based on preliminary
results of the evaluation, FPL committed to provide a
report detailing the additional scope of work and a
proposed schedule for completion of the modifications.
With respect to the St. Lucie plant, a 1984 BI No. 147 Rev.
2 budgeted $19 million to meet the requirements of appendix R and
was approved on February 21, 1984. FPL revised this BI several
times to increase the budgeted amount to $26 million for the St.
Lucie plant.
A 1984 BI No. 933 Rev. 3, approved on March 23, 1984,
budgeted $45 million to “Upgrade the present fire protection
capabilities at Turkey Point Units #3 and #4 to meet * * *
appendix ‘R’” requirements. FPL revised this BI several times,
and the ultimate authorization was approved in August 1986 for
$87 million.
