November 7, 1997 Florida Power and Light Company ATTN:

Mr. T. F. Plunkett President

- Nuclear Division P. 0.

Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420

SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - ST.

LUCIE 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Plunkett:

On October 16, 1997, the regional staff'ompleted the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of St. Lucie Unit 1 and Unit 2.

The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance.

The results are used by regional management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources.

The PPR for't. Lucie 1 and 2 involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period from March to September 1997.

PPRs provide regional management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews.

This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the St. Lucie 1 and 2

PPR review and the general time frame of planned inspections plus the exact dates of team inspections.

It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and ersonnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite.

he enclosure details our inspection plan for the next six (6) months.

Individual inspections are identified by the month(s) in which we intend to conduct the inspection.

Exact dates are not provided for non-team inspections because experience has proven that we must often change dates as the result of higher priority requirements and conflicts at your site or other sites.

You wi 11 be contacted 3-6 weeks prior to individual inspections to confirm dates.

The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reasons for emphasis in these program areas.

Resident inspection dates are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

The NRC's general policy for reactor inspections is that each inspection shall be announced, except when announcing the inspection could reasonably compromise the objectives of the inspectors.

Therefore, some specific inspections, such as in the security and radiological protection areas, may not be announced.

As part of the regional initiative inspection

program, we plan to conduct followup inspections of fire barrier penetration seal issues during the next 6 months.

The issues are discussed in Information Notice (IN) 88-04, "Inadequate Qualification and Documentation of Fire Barrier Penetration 9711190126 971107 PDR ADOCK 05000335 6

PDR IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItIIIIIII

Seals,"

and IN 88-56, -Potential Problems with Silicone Foam Fire Barrier Penetration Seals."

The specific plants that will be inspected have not yet been determined.

We will notify you separately if the inspections are scheduled at your facility in the next 6 months.

We will inform you of any changes to the inspection plan.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 404-562-4530.
