Dear Hr. Plunkett:

October 17~996

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION OF PROPOSED EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL REVISION FOR ST.

LUCIE PLANT, UNITS,'1 AND 2 (TAC NOS.

H96274 AND H96275)

By letter dated July 25, 1996, Florida Power and Light proposed a revision to Table 3-1 of the St. Lucie Plant Emergency Plan.

NRC approval was requested, prior to implementation, of a change to an Emergency Action Level (EAL) regarding reactor coolant system (RCS) leakage.

The proposed change revises the declaration threshold for the EAL of an Unusual Event involving RCS leakage.

The NRC staff has completed its review of the proposed change and found that the proposed EAL meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and Appendix E

to 10 CFR 50 for emergency classification and action level schemes.

Our Safety Evaluation is enclosed.

Section IV.B of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 requires agreement by State and local government authorities to changes to the plant's EALs.

In a telephone call with George Madden of your staff on October ll, 1996, Hr. Madden stated that agreement with State and local officials would be obtained prior to EAL change implementation, or the change would not be implemented.

Based upon this commitment, you are hereby authorized to implement this change to the St.

Lucie Plant Radiological Emergency Plan conditioned upon your obtaining the agreement of appropriate State and local officials prior to implementation thereof.

This completes our action on TAC Nos.

H96274 and H96275.

Sincerely, Docket No. 50-335 and 50-389
