F.

Radiolo ical Release Limitations The recommendation in the Power Plant Site Certification Analysis that certification be issued is based in part upon the fact that in order to obtain a construction permit and operating license from NRC, the applicant must comply with all applicable regulations, requirements, and standards of the U.S.

NRC which limit the release of radioactive materials in solid waste, liquid or gaseous effluents to the environs.

The above regulations, requirements, and standards include the following:

1.

Standards for Protection Against Radiation, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Rules and Regulations, Title 10, Chapter 1, Part 20, Code of Federal Regulations, as presently in effect or hereafter amended.

2.

Limitations and conditions for the controlled release of radioactive materials in solid, liquid and gaseous effluents contained in the Environmental Technical Specifications attached to and made a part of the future Operating License for St. Lucie Unit No.

2 issued to the applicant by the U.S.

NRC.

The Department has the statutory duty to insure that the location and operation of St. Lucie 2 will produce minimal adverse effects on human health, the environment, the ecology and the land and its wildlife, and the ecology of State waters and their aquatic life.

(Fla. Stat.

Section 403.502.)

The Department has determined that the construction and operation of St. Lucie 2 must comply with the above radiological release limitations in order to minimize adverse effects on human health and the environment.

This certification is conditioned upon full compliance by the applicant with the applicable above regulations, requirements, and standards.

The NRC has the primary duty and responsibility imposed by

statute, to enforce compliance by the applicant with NRC standards and technical specifications, to assure that the construction and operating of St. Lucie 2 will be in accord with the co+non defense and security and will provide adequate protection to the health and safety of the public.

See Section 103(d) of the Atomic Energy Act, 42 U.S.C. section 2133(d)

(1970); accord.

42 U.S.C. section 2332(a)

(1970).

10

'J jilt

However, should the Department determine that the NRC has failed to discharge its duty and responsibility, it may bring any such deficiencies to the attention of the applicant and the NRC, and will initiate a request, consistent with NRC procedural requirements, that appropriate enforcement action be taken to correct the deficiencies.

Should such appropriate enforcement action not be forthcoming, and the Department determines that such enforcement action health and the environment by continued operation of St. Lucie 2 are minimized, the Department reserves the right to take appropriate State enforcement action pursuant to Chapter 403, Florida Statutes against the applicant for violation of any of the above radiological release limitations on the grounds that the violation of such limitations constitutes a violation of this express condition of certification.'.

Fuel Limitations The Fuel for St. Lucie Unit No.

2 shall be enriched uranium dioxide fuel.

H.

~Nit H The Environmental Radiological Surveillance Program required by the Environmental Technical Specifications to be made a

part of the future Operating License for St. Lucie 2 by NRC shall be implemented by applicant.

Should the Department determine that additional monitoring is required, it may take appropriate action to require such monitoring by amendment of this condition of certification.

I.

Intera enc A reement The applicant shall comply with the State of Florida Radiological Emergency Plan dated May 1975 or as subsequently

revised, and the Radiological

Response

Agreement between the Florida Division of Health, Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services and the Florida Power and Light Company dated January 16,
