L-2017-115 10 CFR 54 Page 2 of 2 Reference 2, Attachment 3, Appendix A2 contains the St. Lucie Unit 2 UFSAR Supplement to the License Renewal Application required by 10 CFR 54.21(d) discussed in License Condition 3.C above. Appendix A2 contains (New) UFSAR Chapter 18 Aging Management Programs and Time-Limited Aging Analyses Activities, which includes the future activities to be completed no later than April 6, 2023. This new Chapter 18 was initially incorporated into the UFSAR via the update submittal made in Reference 3. The described activities in the current revision of St. Lucie Unit 2 UFSAR Chapter 18 have been completed, with the exception of the inspection of Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI), which in accordance with commitment item 4, in Table 2 of Appendix D of Reference 4, will be performed during the PEO. Reference 5 discussed and reaffirmed FPLs adoption of MRP-227-A which requires the implementation of periodic RVI inspections for both St. Lucie Unit 1 and 2, and supersedes the prior commitment for a one-time inspection.

As also discussed in Reference 5, the first inspection of St. Lucie Unit 2 RVI is currently scheduled from within three years after PEO.
