FLORIDA POWER AND UGHT CO.
(ST. LUCIE PLANT UNIT NO. 2)
Issuance of Construction Permit Notice ls hereby given that, pursuant to the Atomfc Safety and Lfcensing Board's Partial Initial Decision, Supple-ment to the Partial Initial Decision, and Inftfal Dectsfon dated February 28, 1975, April 25, 19VS, and April 19, 1977, respec-tively, the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion (the Commission) has issued Con-sttuctfon Permit No. CPPR-144 to the Florida Power and Light Company (the Applicant) for construction of a pressur-ized water nuclear reactor at the appli-cant's site on Hutchtnson Island fn St.
Lucie County, Plorida. The proposed re-actor, known as the St. Lucie Plant Unit Ifo. 2 (the facility) fs desfgned for a rated poiver of 2570 megawatts thermal with a net electrical output of 810 megawatts..
, The Initial Decision dated April 19, 1977 fs subject to reviem by an Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board prior to its becoming final. Any decision or ac-tion taken by an Atomic Safetv and Li-censing Appeal Board in connection with the Initial Decision may be reviewed by the Commission.
The Commission has made appropriate finding as required by the Atomic En-ergy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),.
and the Commission's rules and regula-tions fn 10 CFR Chapter I, which ate set forth fn the construction permit. The ap-plication for the construction permit compiles with thc standards and requfre-ments of the Act and the Commission's rules and'regulations.
Construction Permit No. CPPR-144 in-cludes the condiUon that the permtt is subject to thc outcome of the proceed-ings in Natura/ Resources Defense Coun-cil v. NRC (D.C. Circuit, July 21, 1976)
Nos. 74-1385 and 74-1586. In addftton, thc construction permit includes anti-trust conditions vvhich have been agreed (o by Florida Power and Light Company in a letter to the Commission dated March 18, 1977. This construction per-mit, however, ts issued subject to fur-ther action as may be deemed appropri-ate by the Commtssfon as a result of an antitrust procccdfng involving this factlfty now pendfng before an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board initiated by a group of Florida cities.
The construction permit is effective as of fts date of issuance. The earliest date for the completion of thc'facility h Au-gust 1. 1982, and the latest date for com-pletion is February 28, 1984. The permit shall exphe on the latest date for com-pletion of the facility.

Order for Modification of License The Florida Power and Light Com-pany (the Licensee),
fs the holder of Facility Operating License No. DP~I which authorizes the operation of the nuclear power reactor known as Turkey Point Unit No. 4 (thc facility) at steady state reactor power levels not in excess of 2200 thermal megawatts (rated power). The facility is a pressurized water reactor (PWR) located at the Li-censee's site in Dade County Florida.
On February 8, 1977, Qte Nuclear Reg-ulatory Commtssion ordered Turkey Point Unit No. 4 be brought to a cold shutdown condition tn order to perform an inspection of steam gcncrators at the end of the current fuel cycle or mith-tn 120 equivalent days of,power opera-tion from February

Among other operational limitations, the NRC order speciflcally required that the reactor operation shall be terminated ff primary to secondary leakage which is attributable to tmo (2) or more tubes per plant occurs during a twenty (20) day period. Nuclear Reg-ulatory Commission approval was re-quired before resuming reactor pomer operation after such a shutdow.

{ March 20, 19VV, the unit mas shut
..d to plug a leaking tube fn steam generator C of Unit No. 4. During this
- outage, a second leaking tube was dis-covered and was also plugged. The tube leaking incident was flrst observed in mid-February and progressed very slowly over a period in excess of one month.
The leakage behaved in a predicted fash-ion and had no safety consequences not previously evaluated.
After discussions with the NRC staff.
with respect to the lfcensee's assessment that continued facmty operation with the identified leaks plugged mould not endanger publfc health and safety and
'dfd not require'spcclflc aproval under the provisions of the Order. the Unit was returned to operation on March 25, 1977.
On April 2S.
1977. the ltcensee in-formed the NRC that they had detected another leak with an equivalent leak-age rate of about 0.04 GPM. By April 2V.
1977, the leakage rate had progressed to 0.14 GPM and the Unit was shutdown for investigation. On April 28, 1977, the NRC staff was informed that ttte leaking tubes mere fdentffled on the C steam generator (row 2column 47, row 2 column 61 and row 3-column 62). These three tubes are located near the inner tube lane in'a "hard spot" between flow slots. The elcvatlons of these leaks have been determined to be at the fourth and the fifthsupport plates.
By letter dated April 29, 1977, the li-censee submtttcdi (1) results of their inspection of the three leaking tubes and (2) their safety evaluation of the latest tube leak fncfdent. In addition, the li-censee rcquestcd NRC approval to resume power operation for the remaining fuel cycle, which was estimated to be about fifteen (15) equivalent days. The NRC staff has reviewed the submitted infor-mation and concurs that the resumption of power operation by Turkey Point Unit No. 4. willnot present a significan risk to the public health and safety.
'1'he information developed by the li-ccnsec's inspection fndfcates that the leaks are attributed to tube denting. The leaking tubes are located in "hardspot" regions where tube d:nting is predicted to be more severe than In other areas of the tube bundle. The leaks were located at about the level of the tube support plates.
Allleaks associated with dented tubes experienced to date have been small, well below the leakage limits established by license condition or Tcchnical Spcciflca-tfon. The leakage rate progresses slowly and fs detectable. Tube cracks which re-sult from severe denting are constraftYed
'within the tube support plates; and, thus.
any leaks caused by this type of crack will be limited even under accident condi-tfons.
Although there may be an additional leak that may develop during operation during the r'emaining short perfod untfl thc scheduled refueling outage, the Ifmfts on primary to secondary leakage rate wLil assure that such leaks do not become large enough to be unstable under acci-dent, loadtngs.
