Re:

St.

Luci e Unit 1

Docket No. 50-335 Loss of AC Power Our letter (L-81-52) dated December 18, 1981 provided a response to your concerns on a postulated loss of AC power at St.

Luci e Unit 1.

We concluded that St. Luci e Unit 1 could be safely controlled through a total loss of AC power.

This conclusion was based on our review of the analysis for St. Lucie Unit 2 which was conducted at a power level of 2560 Mwt.

We also stated in our letter, that we would re'evaluate the results of the St.

Luci e Unit 1 study for a power level of 2700 Mwt.

We have completed our reevaluation and the results indicate that there is very little difference, as far as the loss of AC transient is concerned, between 2560 Mwt and 2700 Mwt.

Specifically

. our evaluation for St. Lucie Unit 1 at 2700 Mwt has shown that:

1.

Natural circulation and core cooling can be maintained for at least 3

hours.

2.

The reactor core remains in a subcritical condition.

3.

There is no fuel damage.

4.

The RCS coolant pressure remains within limits.

r's shown in our previous letter (L-81-327) there is a high probability of restoring off site AC power in a short time period and there would be a very high probability of restoring off site AC power prior to the 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> mentioned above.

We conclude, therefore that at stretch power rating, St. Lucie Unit 1

can be safely controlled through a total loss of AC power.
