SUBJECT:

SAINT LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC PHYSICAL SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000335/2009403 AND 05000389/2009403

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On November 6, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. In addition we completed an inspection of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate whether the protection of the ISFSI was in compliance with the St. Lucie Physical Security Plan for the ISFSI and the additional security measures imposed by the NRC Order dated October 16, 2002. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on November 6, 2009, with Mr. Eric Katzman and other members of your staff. A re-exit meeting was conducted by telephone on November 23, 2009 with Mr. Tuane Young and other members of your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission=s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The finding is NRC identified.

The deficiency was corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of this inspection before the inspectors left the site. However, because of the very low security significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest this violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this FP&L

2 inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the St Lucie Nuclear Plant.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 NRC's document system, ADAMS.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website 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 letter=s 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 ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response ASecurity-Related InformationBWithhold Under 10 CFR 2.390@ and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Sincerely,

/RA/

Michael E. Ernstes, Chief Plant Support Branch 2 Division of Reactor Safety
