Florida Power& Light Company, 6501 S. Ocean Drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 July 30, 2003 FPL L-2003-190 10 CFR 50.90 10 CFR 2.790 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 RE:
St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 Withdraw Proposed License Amendment - Contingency Change to the Definition of Steam Generator Tube Inspection By letter L-2003-002, dated January 23, 2003, and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Florida Power &
Light Company (FPL) requested to amend Facility Operating License NPF-16 for St. Lucie Unit
- 2. As a contingency for the spring 2003 Unit 2 refueling outage, FPL developed a proposed license amendment (PLA) for St. Lucie Unit 2 Cycle-14 operation to modify the definition of steam generator tube inspection as contained in Technical Specification (TS) 4.4.5.4.a.8 for Cycle 14 only.
On April 16, 2003, FPL representatives met with the NRC staff to discuss the steam generator inspection plan for St. Lucie Unit 2 during the spring 2003 refueling outage (SL2-14). The results of the meeting are summarized in a May 7, 2003 NRC memorandum to Allen Howe from the NRC acting project manager for St. Lucie, Eva Brown. Based on FPL participation in the pending resolution of the generic issue, an intention to modify the requested duration of the proposed amendment from one cycle to a permanent change, the change in the inspection scope consistent with FPL's March 31, 2003 letter, and feedback from the NRC staff, FPL agreed to withdraw the proposed amendment request, pending resolution of the generic issue, and to resubmit, if necessary, at a later date.
During the meeting NRC indicated the staff's interest in discussing the SL2-14 steam generator inspection results prior to the completion of the spring 2003 outage. On May 2, 2003, the NRC staff and FPL participated in a conference call regarding the SL2-14 steam generator inspection results. The NRC did not identify any issues requiring follow-up at the time of the call. The conference call is documented in NRC letter to FPL dated June 23, 2003.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the State Designee for the State of Florida. Please contact George Madden at 772-467-7155 if there are any questions about this submittal.
