On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (Reference 1) to FPL. Reference I was immediately effective and directs FPL to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.
Reference I required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-02, Revision I (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the FPL initial status report regarding mitigation strategies. Reference 5 provided the FPL Overall Integrated Plan.
Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six month intervals following submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. The first and second six month status reports were submitted in Reference 8 and 10.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the third six month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1. The enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Mr. Eric Katzman, Licensing Manager, at (772) 467-7734.
L-2014-275 Page 3 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Third Six Month Status Report In Response To March 12, 2012 Commission Order To Modify Licenses With Regard To Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation (Order Number EA- 12-05 1)
L-2014-275 Enclosure Page 1 of 4 L-2014-275 ENCLOSURE FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY'S ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2 THIRD SIX MONTH STATUS REPORT IN RESPONSE TO MARCH 12, 2012 COMMISSION ORDER TO MODIFY LICENSES WITH REGARD TO RELIABLE SPENT FUEL POOL INSTRUMENTATION (ORDER NUMBER EA-12-051)
L-2014-275 Enclosure Page 2 of 4
- 1. Introduction Florida Power & Light Company's (FPL) St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 5) documenting the modification with regard to reliable Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) instrumentation in response to Reference 1. This enclosure provides the third six-month update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief/relaxation and the basis, if any.
- 2. Milestone Accomplishments St. Lucie has selected and entered into a purchase agreement to procure SFP level instruments that, when installed, will meet all the criteria designated in the Overall Integrated Plan submitted on February 28, 2013 (Reference 5). The equipment selected is being used throughout the NextEra fleet. The modification package for the St. Lucie Unit 1 installation is in the final approval process. The Unit 2 modification package remains on track per the milestone schedule.
- 3. Milestone Schedule Status There currently are no changes to the Milestone Schedule provided in the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 5). Any changes to the following target dates will be reflected in the six month updates:
The current milestones are: Unit 1 Unit 2 Commence Engineering and Design In progress In progress Complete Design 3Q 2014 1Q 2015 Complete Procurement of SFP Instruments 4Q 2014 2Q 2015 Complete Installation of SFP Instruments 1Q 2015 3Q 2015 Instruments Operational and Training completed 2Q 2015 4Q 2015 Required implementation date: RF26 RF22 2Q 2015 4Q 2015
- 4. Changes to Compliance Method There currently are no changes to the compliance method documented in the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 5). Consistent with the requirements of Order EA-12-051 and the Order guidance documents, the six month reports will delineate any proposed changes to compliance methods.
- 5. Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the RelieflRelaxation St. Lucie is not requesting relief from the requirements of Order EA-12-051 (Reference 1) or guidance document JLD-ISG-2012-03 (Reference 2) at this time.
L-2014-275 Enclosure Page 3 of 4 Consistent with the requirements of Order EA-12-051 (Reference 1) and the guidance in NEI 12-02 (Reference 3), the six month reports will delineate progress made, any proposed changes in compliance methods, updates to the schedule, and if needed, requests for relief and their bases.
- 6. Requests for Additional Information The NRC staff determined that additional information was required to enable the continued technical review of the FPL St. Lucie Plant's Overall Integrated Plan (OIP). Table 1 provides a summary of the status of the request for additional information that was received on November 19, 2013 (Reference 9). Responses that are identified as being "Detailed Design" in the table require detailed design information from the modification design package. The responses to these requests for information will be uploaded into CERTREC (e-portal) for NRC staff review as part of the audit process. Responses to the remaining items were included in previous six month updates (References 8 and 10).
