REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NO. ME0274)

Dear Mr. Franke:

By letter dated December 16, 2008, Florida Power Corporation submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54, to renew the operating license for Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant, for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff). The staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application and has identified, in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review. Further requests for additional information may be issued in the future.

Items in the enclosure were discussed with Mr. Michael Heath, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at 301-415-3733 or by e-mail at Robert.Kuntz@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

In light of Progress Energys past use of a seven-percent parameter, please justify the conservatism and acceptability of the two-percent multiplier.
