ii l-ll State whether licensee has or is considering or has been directed by the NRC Staff to consider any retrofitting or backfitting to incorporate safety features, which the NRC Staff has determined as being necessary since review of the Three Mile Island accident, while the units to be repaired are shut down.
A. If not, why not'?
B. If so, provide details of any such considerations.
C. If by NRC Staff direction, provide details of any correspondence or communication transmitting such direction.
~Res onse:
Florida Power 8 Light is not considering nor has NRC directed any retrofitting or backfitting to incorporate safety features which the NRC staff has deter-mined as being necessary since review of the Three Mile Island accident to be performed specifically while the units are shut down for the steam generator repair.
A. Modifications to the plant which are being considered as a result of the Three Mile Island accident are being evaluated and implemented (as required) independent of the schedule for the steam generator repairs.
B. Not applicable.
C: Not applicable.
The Hearing Board directed Florida Power 5 Light Company to identify any of the lessons learned at Three Mile Island that relate to the steam generators .
None of the plant modifications as a result of the lessons learned at Three Mile Island which have been implemented or are planned for implementation at Turkey Point, are directly related to steam generators.
Several modifications relate to the auxiliary feed water system but appear
il to be unrelated to the steam generator repair. Other lessons learned at Three Nile Island involving analyses and plant procedures are related to the Reactor coolant system of which the steam generator is a part, and the feed water systems which supply feed water to the steam generator. These latter considerations appear to be unrelated to the steam generator repair.
1-35 Specific analyses of alternativ'es to maintaining the Turkey Point Nuclear Units operational were not done beyond that comparison presented in Section 7 of the Steam Generator Repair Report. Due to the overwhelming advantages existing in favor of the steam generator repair project, further detailed analysis was not required.
FPL continually monitors new technologies as alternatives for future generation. Evidence of FPL's commitment to this effort are the commercially viable technologies which FPL is utilizing such as the existing nuclear and combined cycle facilities, the planned coal project. and the coal oil mixture experiment at our Sanford Plant. FPL also supports further developments in new and existing technologies through funding of EPRX.
FPL actively participated with other members of the Florida Electric Power Coordinating Group in developing an overview of generation alternatives. This study, dated October, 1979, and titled "Alternatives Available to Reduce Oil Consumption by Florida's Electric Utilities," is an account II of central station and distributive system alternatives and their potentials for oil reduction.
A description of FPL' generation expansion plan and planning methodologies is presented in our Ten Year Power Plant Site Plan 1979-1988. This document is submitted in
0 compliance with Chapter 23, Section 23.0191, of the Florida Statutes. As described in that document. the effects of conservation measures are reflected in the load forecast used to plan future generating units.
Florida .Power 8 Light Company recognizes the important role that energy plays in prolonging the life expectancy of our present energy 'onservation sources. while future energy alternatives are under development. Energy conservation is the objective toward which, one way or another, virtually all of Florida Power 8 Light Company's marketing efforts are being made today. Those efforts are designed first to help customers recognize the many opportunities that exist to save energy and second to give them the ability or understanding necessary to effectively and economically achieve those savings.
~I A. The Marketing and Energy Conservation Department is responsible for conservation planning. The Advanced Systems and Technology-Research and Development Depart-ment is responsible for alternative power generation alternatives.'.

Florida Public Service Commission Docket //780236, Order f8252 Florida Public Service Commission Docket 0'780236, Order 49193 E. (1) Plan im lementin solar hotovoltaic technolo y Florida Power and Light has submitted a proposal for $ 81,000 to the U. S. Department of Energy's Lincoln Laboratory at HIT to construct a residential photovoltaic test and demonstration on the FPC system. The project requires that DOE supply the photovoltaic array and electrical equip-ment to interconnect the home with FPL's system. Federal action on this proposal has not been taken.
(2) Plan im lementin roduction of methane FPL's support of the Electric Power Research Institute includes the Institute's work on coal gasification technology which is capable of producing high BTU gas (methane).
0 0 ~
FPL also supports a feasibility study using'Allis-Chalmers Kilngas 'technology which focuses on low-BTU gas.
No projects are in progress on methane production from biomass or wastes.
(3) Plan im lementin roduction of h dro en FPL is not implementing any plans for the production of hydrogen.
(4) Plan im lementin ocean thermal ener ~
conversion Florida Power and Light has agreed to host a $2 million test of an open cycle power systems applicable to ocean thermal energy conversion. The test has been proposed for the Company's Port Everglades plant and involves work proposed to the U. S.
Department of Energy by the engineering firm of CH211-Hi.ll, Westinghouse s Steam Turbine Division and Boeing Vertol. The proposal would utilize cold water from the Florida Boulder Zone and warm water from the plant discharge. The proposal has encountered difficulties with deep sewage, injection plans by the City of Ft. Lauderdale and is under reconsideration by the companies submitting the proposal.
(5) FPL's Ten Year Power Plant Site Plan, previously described, sets for th our present plans for future genera-tion expansion ~ Additionally, FPL is investigating the feasibility of burning a coal-oil mixture in our oil-fired plants, in order to reduce oil consumption. One of our Sanford units is being modified to accommodate this experiment. The Company has also agreed to be a party with HRI Engineering Company to a proposal to the Electric Power Research Institute to run a limited combustion test of H-Coal, a coal derived snythetic oil.
