ST. LUCIE PLANT OVERVIEW St. Lucie Plant Res onsibili

- Continue to emphasize safe, reliable and efficient operation of St. Lucie Plant and to supply generation to our customer, Power Supply.

Sc~oe - St Lucie Power Plant consists of two nuclear powered generating units located on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County Florida.

~

Base load operation - units are run at 100% power prior to all other fuel types.

~

St Lucie Unit 2 has one of the highest lifetime capacity factors in the United States; number 1 in the world for 1988 and 1991.

Unit UN!T

SUMMARY

Reactor Power 2700 MWt 839 MWe 2700 MWt 839 MWe'ate of Operation Dec 1976 Aug 1983

'125 MWe of Unit 2 capacity la owned by Orhndo UtilityCommlaslon and Rorlda Munlclpal Power Agency.

St. Lucie's importance to FPL's generation:

In 1992, net nuclear generation was 21.9 million MWH or 39% of the energy generated by FPL plants.

The Nuclear Division represents 21%

of FPL's internal generating capacity.

St. Lucie's position in the regulatory environment:

St. Lucie has consistently received favorable SALP ratings from the NRC.

St. Lucie has consistently received favorable INPO evaluation ratings.
