RE: Docket Nos. 50-335 & 50-389 Attachment St. Lucie Plant SALP Clarifying Comments Radiolo ical Controls Section a e 12 This section includes a reference to the licensee's program to reduce carbon steel pipe wastage and mentions large amounts of sludge being removed during outages.

pointed out that, while they are relatively large, the It should be amounts of sludge in Unit 1 have been steadily decreasing.

Further, Unit 2 has had very small amounts over its 3 cycle history.

For example: PSL gl approx. 3000 lbs. Cycle 5 approx. 1500 lbs. Cycle 6 approx. 700 lbs. Cycle 7 PSL g2 approx. 250 lbs. Cycles 1,2,3 (combined)

Licensin Activities Section A phrase was included on page 34 which notes FPL could have been more responsive to Generic Letter 87-02 "Verification of Seismic Adequacy of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors." FPL feels that the action taken has been consistent with the currently 'available seismic information. Communication with the NRC is continuing on this issue.

On page 36, FPL feels that implementation of the Integrated Living Schedule would not be beneficial for St. Lucie Plant.

There are several systems currently in use that not only follow licensing commitments, but track all project modifications and provide synchronization with the FPL budget process.

Capital work has been declining at St. Lucie. With a record of timely completion of licensing commitments and an aggressive management program to reduce and control plant changes, St. Lucie Plant's capital budget project backlog has declined from $ 38M in 1987 to $ 19M in l988.

opinion that the existing systems and programs in place are It is our adequate and effective in managing plant modifications.

FPL believes implementation of the Integrated Living Schedule at St. Lucie would not provide additional benefit to FPL or the NRC at this time.
