UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 August 18, 2010 Mr. Mano Nazar Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Florida Power and Light Company P.O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420

SUBJECT:

TURKEY POINT UNIT 3 AND Unit 4 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Nazar:

During the period of September 27, 2010, through October 1, 2010, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at your Turkey Point Nuclear Plant site. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71124.01 and Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/179. The inspection also will review Performance Indicator (PI) verification and reporting activities associated with both the Occupational and Public Radiation Safety Inspection Cornerstones using IP 71151.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to conduct a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The lead inspector has requested that the subject informational material be made available to the NRC staff by September 17, 2010, to allow preparation for the upcoming inspection We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Stavroula Mihalakea of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, George B. Kuzo at (404) 997-4658.

FP&L 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
