0t Florida Power & Light Company, 6501 S.Ocean Drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 FPL June 9,2003 L-2003-145 10 CFR 50.90 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555 RE: St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 Proposed License Amendment ECCS Subsystem Flow Balance Technical Specification Surveillance Reguirement Withdrawal By Letter L-2003-136 dated May 22, 2003 and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.91(a)(5), Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) requested to amend Facility Operating License NPF-16 for St. Lucie Unit 2 by incorporating a change to Technical Specification (TS) 4.5.2.i.3. While perForming high pressure safety injection (HPSI) subsystem flow surveillances during the Spring 2003 refueling outage (SL2-14), HPSI pump 2A failed to meet the flow balance requirements specified in Technical Specification (TS) 4.5.2.i.3. In parallel to that request, FPL continued to troubleshoot the cause of the test failure.

On Saturday May 24, 2003, FPL completed a modification and post modification testing of the HPSI subsystem. The measured developed head and flow rates were adequate to meet TS 4.5.2.i.3 in addition to all applicable safety analysis requirements.

Therefore, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) is withdrawing the request to modify St. Lucie Unit 2 TS Surveillance Requirement 4.5.2.i.3 to change the HPSI flow and head requirements with the system operating in the simultaneous hot and cold leg injection mode.

FPL appreciates the NRC efforts to support the proposed change on an expedited basis.

Please contact George Madden at 772-467-7155 if there are any questions about this submittal.
