Astrid Pfeiffer Secretary H. P. Williams, Jr. Comptroller T. R. Crook, Jr. Assistant Comptroller R. A. Anderson Assistant Treasurer S. P. Kemp Assistant Secretary J. E. Moore Assistant Secretary The address of the above Officers is 9250 West Flagler Street, Post Office Box 529100, Miami, Florida 33152.

Applicant is not owned, controlled, or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or a foreign government, and is not acting as agent or representative of any other persons in making this Application. The Applicant's stock transfer agent has certified that as of the close of business December 31, 1979, records indicate that 173 foreign stockholders held 68,391.81 shares of common stock. Foreign stockholders constituted 0.48% of total common shareholders and foreign-held stock constituted 0.16% of total common shares outstanding.

4) Class and Period of License A lied for Applicant requests a class 103 operating license for a period of 40 years from date of issuance. Applicant requests such additional source, special nuclear and by-product material licenses as may be necessary 4

and appropriate to the operation of this facility.

5) Descri tion of Facilit and Use to Which Facilit Will Be Put Applicant proposes to operate a nuclear reactor which will supply a turbine generator with a capability of 890 Mwe gross with associated transformer, switchyard, supporting buildings and additional auxiliary systems and facilities as required for a Unit No. 2 output of 802 Mwe net. The nuclear steam supply system is a pressurized water reactor whose maximum output is 2700 Mwt. The design of the balance of plant and related facilities will be such as to accommodate the maximum

thermal output of the nuclear steam supply system, consequently the major systems and components which bear significantly on the acceptability of the site, including the engineered safeguards systems and the containment, have been evaluated for operation at a power level of 2700 Mwt. This project will be located on Hutchinson Island on the east coast of Florida. The project, (Units 1 4 2) and possible future additions wiH occupy approximately 100 acres of the site: the remainder will be set aside for a conservation development program.

Attached hereto and made a part hereof is a Final Safety Analysis Report and an Environmental Report - Operating License which contain a description of the site and the facility; an analysis and evaluation of structures, systems, and components; and other material in accordance with the r'equirements of Sections 50.34 and 51.21 of the regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The proposed power plant is a necessary part of Applicant's continuing expansion of its facilities to provide for a steadily increasing demand for electric power by its customers.

6) Financial Qualifications Applicant's 1979 Annual Report and Financial R Statistical Report are set forth in attached Exhibit I.

The entire cost of the Applicant's share of the project will be paid for by Applicant from funds available from normal and regular sources for construction of additions to all types of its utility properties. Such funds are (1) treasury funds on hand; (2) funds available from internal sources, principally retained earnings, deferred taxes, investment tax credits - net and provisions for depreciation; (3) short term bank loans

and commercial paper; and (4) the sale of permanent securities when and as required.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 11 is a tabulation of the estimated cost of operating the facility.

At the end of the plant's useful lifetime, FPL will prepare a proposed decommissioning plan based on the available information and requirements. FPL has given serious consideration to the matter to date and estimates a decommissioning cost of approximately

$ 100,000,000. However, in order to maintain some degree of flexibility among the various decommissioning options, no specific plan has been chosen.

Applicant is able to borrow on a short term basis at the prime rate of interest or less. Bond issues sold since 1974 have been rated A by Moody's Investors Service and A+ by Standard R Poor's Corporation (A since 1971, A+ since 1978).

Applicant will obtain appropriate property and liability insurance for this project and its fuel.

The above demonstrates Florida Power R Light Company's ability to obtain the funds necessary to cover the estimated costs of operation plus the estimated costs to safely decommission the facility.

7) Technical Qualifications Applicant has in operation two nuclear power units of 666 Mwe capacity each, known as Turkey Point Units No. 3 and No. 4, one nuclear power unit of 777 Mwe capacity known as St. Lucie Unit No. 1.

The extensive training program for engineering and operating personnel for the Turkey Point Project and St. Lucie Unit 01 has been expanded and continued as required to train personnel for St. Lucie Plant Unit 82.

Applicant has contracted with Combustion Engineering Corporation to design and fabricate the nuclear steam supply system. The turbine generator will be supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

Ebasco Services Incorporated will provide engineering and procurement services for the majority of items not furnished by Combustion Engineering and Westinghouse. Florida Power R Light will be responsible for construction services and the administration of the Ebasco, Combustion Engineering and Westinghouse Contracts.

Combustion Engineering will supply the initial core (Batches A, B, and C) as well as Batches D, E, and F.

The technical qualifications of Combustion Engineering and Ebasco are summarized in Exhibit IH attached.

The fuel load date of this unit is estimated to be October 30, 1982; the expected commercial operation date is estimated to be May 30, 1983.
