Dear Kr. Eisenhut:

Recently, a letter addressed to you, from Dr. Robert E.

Uhrig of'lorida Power and Light Co., dated January 23, 1980

was filed in the local PDR.

Dr. Uhrig justifies his request f'r an extension of time

between steam generator inspections basically on economic

grounds with rather tenuous safety arguments presented.. As the intervenor in the matter of'urkey Point Steam.

generator Repairs, the documents I have reviewed, the Steam

Generator ~Re air ~Re ort, the ~Safet Evaluation, and the~ 'l~Iu~l'u t th t 1 tto be in an advanced stage of degradation. The EIA estimates

that Unit No. 4 will be derated in the Fall of 1980 due tothe lack of adequate heat transfer area. Xt f'urther statesthat Unit No. 3 may be derated in the Fall of 1981 for the

same reasons.

Table 4.2 in the EIA indicates that in 1976, radioactivenoble gases released f'rom Turkey Point were 213 5 higherthan PES estimates and the 1977 noble gas release was 328 gf

hidher than the estimate. As the tube degradation increases, IICOI

I feel that the steam generators should come under greaterscrutiny rather than lesser.

Additionally, the recently completed inspection and

maintenence program on Unit No. 3 has produced the startlingdiscovery of shattered metal fragments found in steam

generators 3B'nd 3C.

The preventative tube plugging program instituted by the

NRC may be the only means by which a severe incident isforestalled.

I am interested to know what criteria are used in grantingor denying such requests as made by Dr. Uhrig. I would

appreciate: the opportunity to address these issues at an

NRC Staff hearing in Miami or if an amendment to the Operating

License is at issue, I would like this letter to serve as a

"PETITION FOR IZ<AVZ TO INTERVENE"

On December 17, 1979, Licensee filed a document entitled"Licensee's Responses and Objections to Interrogatories to, and

Request for the Production of Documents from Licensee, Florida

Power and Light Company". In a response filed the same day, the

Intervenor requested that the

Licensee had objected.

On December 21, 1979, Licensee filed a motion advising

that it wished to respond to Intervenor's December 17 filing and

requesting an extension of time in which to respond, to January 14,

1979. Licensee said that it planned to withdraw some of itsobjections, but its determination of which objections to withdraw

would require recommendations from technical personnel who would

not be available during the upcoming holiday season. Licensee

represented that counsel for Intervenor stated that he had no

objection to the extension of time, and counsel for the NRC Staff

likewise has stated that he does not object.

«ti

For good cause shown, and there having been no objections,

Licensee's motion is granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED
