PUBLIC REGULATORY PERFORMANCE MEETING SUMMARY - ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 1 - DOCKET NO. 50-335
Dear Mr. Nazar:
This refers to the meeting conducted on November 4, 2010, in Jensen Beach, Florida. The purpose of this Regulatory Performance Meeting was to discuss corrective actions associated with the Yellow finding that was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000335/2010007.
The finding dealt with the failure to identify and correct the source of air in-leakage into the component cooling water (CCW) system. Your staffs presentation adequately described their evaluation of the root causes of the issue and corrective actions proposed to prevent recurrence. The NRC reviewed those corrective actions and documented closure of the finding in NRC Inspection Report 05000335/2010009. The meeting was beneficial in that it furthered both NRC and public understanding of your St. Lucie facility. Details of the meeting are provided in the Enclosures to this letter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and Enclosures will be made 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
