SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-335/96-19 AND 50-389/96-19
Dear Mr. Plunkett:
This refers to the inspection conducted on October 21 - 25, 1996, at the St. Lucie facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
Based on the results of this inspection, two apparent violations were identified and are being
considered for escalated
enforcement action in accordance
with the "General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy), NUREG-1600.
The apparent violations pertain to your failure to limit unescorted
access to protected and
vital areas during non-emergency
conditions and your failure to report that event under the
criteria specified in 10 CFR 73.71.
Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is presently being
issued for these inspection findings.
In addition, please be advised that the number and
characterization of apparent violations described
in the enclosed inspection report may
change as a result of further NRC review.
A predecisional enforcement conference to discuss these apparent violations has been
scheduled for December 10, 1996.
The decision to hold a predecisional enforcement
conference does not mean that the NRC has determined that a violation has occurred or that
enforcement action will be taken.
This conference
is being held to obtain information to
enable the NRC to make an enforcement decision, such as a common understanding of the
facts, root causes,
missed opportunities to identify the apparent violations sooner, corrective
actions, significance of the issues and the need for lasting and effective corrective action.
In
particular, we expect you to address the breakdown of your access control program within the
Florida Power and Light Company organization.
In addition, this is an opportunity for you to
point out any errors in our inspection report and for you to provide any information
concerning your perspectives
on 1) the severity of the violations, 2) the application of the
factors that the NRC considers when it determines the amount of a civil penalty that may be
assessed
in accordance
with Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy, and 3) any other
application of the Enforcement Policy to this case, including the exercise of discretion in
accordance
with Section Vll.

This conference will be closed to public observation in accordance
with the Commission's
continuing trial program as discussed
in Section V of the NRC Enforcement Policy,
NUREG 1600 (Enclosure 2).
You will be advised by separate
correspondence
of the results of our deliberations on this
matter.
No response
regarding these apparent violations is required at this time.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
