ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000335/2008001 AND 05000389/2008001)

Dear Mr. Stall:

On February 7, 2008, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the St. Lucie Nuclear

Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and

inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2007. The purpose of

this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and

our plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A

separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include

the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Overall, St. Lucie operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all

cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first

three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC=s

Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety

significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC

oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline

inspections at your facility. We also plan on conducting several non-ROP inspections which

include TI 2515/171, Verification of Site Specific (B.5.b) Phase 2 and 3 Mitigation Strategies and

TI 2515/172, Reactor Coolant System Dissimilar Metal.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection

scheduled through September 30, 2009. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the

resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of

inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and

continuous nature. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative

and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.

system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (404) 562-4629 with any
