In accordance with Reference 1, Florida Power & Light Company hereby notifies the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it intends to submit a Subsequent License Renewal Application for the Operating Licenses for St. Lucie Nuclear Generating (St Lucie) Units 1 and 2 in the third quarter 2021.

Section 54.17(c) of 10 CFR 54 requires that an application for a renewed operating license not be submitted earlier than 20 years before the expiration of the license currently in effect. Because this application is being submitted earlier than 20 years before the renewed facility operating license for St. Lucie Unit 2 expires on April 6, 2043, an exemption to the above 20-year requirement has been requested (Reference 2). St Lucie Unit 1 does not require such an exemption as its renewed facility operating license expires on March 1, 2036.

This notice is being submitted voluntarily to allow the NRC to plan more accurately and to budget agency resources accordingly.

lfyou have any questions, or need additional information, please contact William Maher at (561) 691-2294.

Sincerely, rida Power & Light Company Executive Vice President & Chief Nuclear Officer l *1orida Power & Light Company 700 Universe Boulevard, Juno Beach, FL 33408
