SUBJECT:

05000250,251/2006403 AND OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS REPORT NO.

2-2005-001 SYNOPSIS

Dear Mr. Stall:

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) inspection completed on February 24, 2006, at Florida Power and Light Companys (FPL) Turkey Point Nuclear Plant.

An Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) was established to examine activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The results of the AIT inspection, which included security concerns at Turkey Point, were forwarded to you by our letter dated April 12, 2006. This report documents findings as a result of that inspection, and were discussed at an exit meeting on February 8, 2007, with Mr. T. Jones, Site Vice President and other members of your staff.

The NRC Region II Office Of Investigations (OI) conducted a review of these events and a synopsis of their findings documented in OI Report 2-2005-001 is included as Enclosure 2.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection and the OI investigation, one apparent violation was identified and is being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy. The current Enforcement Policy is located on the NRCs Web site at www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html; select What We Do, Enforcement, then Enforcement Policy. Since the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, no Notice of Violation is being issued for this inspection finding at this time. In addition, please be advised that the number and characterization of the apparent violations described in this inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review. Before the NRC makes its enforcement decision, we are providing you an opportunity to either: (1) respond to the AVs addressed in this letter within FPL 2 30 days of the date of this letter or request a pre-decisional enforcement conference. If a conference is held, it will not be open for public observation. Please contact Mr. Joel Munday, within 10 business days of the date of your receipt of this letter to notify us of your intentions. If we have not heard from you within 10 days, we will continue with our significance determination and enforcement decision and you will be advised by separate correspondence of the results of our deliberations on this matter.

If you choose to provide a written response, it should clearly be marked as a Response to (Apparent Violation) in Inspection Report No. 05000250/2006403, and 05000251/2006403 EA-06-176" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the apparent violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the apparent violation; (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations; and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previously docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate response is not received within the time specified or an extension of time has not been granted by the NRC, the NRC will proceed with its enforcement decision or schedule a pre-decisional enforcement conference.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system, ADAMS.
