Introduction or the nuclear power indus-try in the United States, 1986 was a year of signifi-cant achievement.

Although overshadowed world-wide by the events at Chemobyl, the nation's growing number of nuclear facilities powered past the 1,000th reactor-year of safe operating experience. More than 16 per-cent of the country's electricity approximately 405 billion kilowatt hours was generated by nuclear energy in 1986.

It was the largest amount of nuclear generat-ed electricity produced by any nation in the world.

Second only to coal as a source of electricity in the U.S., nuclear energy is a vital and growing component of power supply. During 1986, five additional nuclear plants achieved full commer-cial operation, bringing the number of U.S. plants currently licensed for operation to 106.

Nuclear power in the United States has saved the equivalent of more than 5.6 billion barrels of oil. Savings in fuel costs to utilitycustomers dur-ing the past decade alone are estimated to be as much as $63 billion.

Along with providing such savings, the U.S nuclear industry has maintained a total and on.

The FPL Commitment When Florida Power & Light Company's first nuclear power plant began operation in 1972, the company's commitment to the use of nuclear energy was made clear and put in precise order: to provide safe... reliable...

and economical power to its customers.

Fifteen years and171 billionkilowatt-hours later with a record of excellent safety, high reliabilityand indisputa-ble economic savings that commitment continues to be the focal point of FPL's nuclear operation.

During 1986, safety remained the overall goal of FPL's nuclear energy department. Driven by a program empha-sizing quality in every aspect of its operations, the de-partment's quest for improvement reached into other strategic areas as well. Achievements in training, mainte-nance, reliability, organizational development andregula-tory interaction came as a direct result of the company's Quality Improvement Program.

Performance is the final indicator of a successful pro-gram. Our increased use of data to monitor and measure virtuallyevery detail of operations allows us to present an objective and documented

.view of our total performance.

It is performance, rather than programs, by which we seek to be measured. And when judged by performance, our success is clearly evident.

If';ic<<g I'>si> t~i" uclear power generation has become a key element in FPL's successful strategy of developing a dependa-ble and diversified fuel mix to produce the most eco-nomical power for its 2.8 million customers.

Among all the fuel options available to FPL

nuclear, oil, natural gas and purchased coal power nuclear power is by far the most eco-nomical. Electricity generated by nuclear energy costs only about one-third as much as that gen-erated by burning oil, despite recent lower oil prices.

FPL's nuclear facilities consist of two units at its Turkey Point plant in south Dade County, Flori-da and two units at the St. Lucie plant located on Hutchinson Island near Ft. Pierce, Florida. Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, which began operation in 1972 and 1973 respectively, are rated at 666 megawatts each. St Lucie Units1 and 2, which became operational in 1976 and 1983 respective-ly, have a rated capacity of839 megawatts each.

In 1986, the four nuclear units produced 32 percent of customers'lectrical demand, saving an estimated $274 million in fuel costs. Each Tur-key Point unit is capable of displacing about 28,000 barrels of oil per day, while the St. Lucie units can displace about 32,000 barrels each.

Since 1972, the nuclear units have displaced the equivalent of more than 273 millionbarrels ofoil, a savings of $4.6 billion in fuel costs. It is expect-ed that nudear power will continue to provide about one-third of customers'lectrical needs during the next few years. Considering that the original cost of the four units was $2.5 billion, nuclear energy has proven to be a wise and pru-dent investment for FPQ customers.

The FPL Nuclear Energy Department The nuclear energy department consists of 1,536 employ-ees working under the guidance of a management team with outstanding credentials. (see back fold-out)

There are 662 plant employees at the St. Lucie plant, 695 at Turkey Point and 179 staff personnel at offices in Juno Beach, Florida.

During 1986, FPL's four nuclear units achieved a com-bined average equivalent availability of 70.9 percent com-pared to a U.S. industry average of 60.3 percent.

Three of the units, Turkey Point 3 and both St. Lucie units, operated at an average equivalent availability of 84 percent. Turkey Point 4 was not in operation for a total of 240 days in 1986. During this period, many designmodTii-cations were installed. By implementing many of the les-sons learned by the industry since original construction, these modifications willbring the plant nearer to today' standards.

The four nuclear units produced 18.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity during 1986.

he health and safety of employees and the pub-lic is the top priority of the nuclear energy de-partment. Since 1979, FPL has added more than

$600 million in capital improvements to its nu-clear plants.

The majority of these additions were for new safety features required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in such areas as fire protection and modifications related to lessons learned from the Three Mile Island accident.

1 Training Professional training is es-pecially significant to as-sure the highest margins of safety. In 1986, the depart-ment's operating andmain-tenance budget for techni-cal training was

$ 13.5 million, with a capital im-OO provement commitment of $175 million for training centers and plant-specific simulators.

More than 1,400 employees participated in these training programs in 1986, including 61 who passed NRC-administered examinations.

By the end of 1986, ten performance-based technical training programs at each plant had been developed to meet the criteria of the Na-tional Academy for Nuclear Training. Four of the programs at each plant were accredited by the National Nuclear Accrediting Board during the year and the remaining six programs at each plant are expected to be accredited by mid-1987.

Both plants became branches of the National Nuclear Operatcv Tommie Todd inspects a valve on a high pressure safety injection pump.

The additional facilities allowforthe expanded technical and skills training required by the ten performance-based technical training programs.

The first phase of the training information management system was implemented during 1986. The initial phase dealt with materials con-figuration control, designed to monitor and as-sist in the maintenance of over 15,000 training documents.

A four-level instructor certification program was also implemented in 1986. Level 1, on-the-job instructor/evaluator training, was completed by 135 plant supervisors and training staff mem-bers. This training focused on "how to" tech-niques for providing consistent, systematic and quality training in the plant environment. Levels

'2 and 3, technical instructor and program coordi-nator, are scheduled forcompletion in 1987. Level 4, program supervisor, willfollow in 1988.

Organizational development The nuclear energy management development

program, begun in 1984, continued during 1986 with 20 senior employees placed in rota-Q'ionai positions. The purpose of the program is to maintain a succession

.', Q Q,.v,'v plan and improve the overall effec-tiveness of the nuclear energy team.

As an extension of the fitness for duty program, a two-phase drug testing policy was established in 1986.

Phase 1 included an initial mandatory drug screening test for all nuclear energy vice presidents, directors, man-agers and department heads.

Phase 2 included random drug screening tests for all salaried employees with authorized unescorted access to vital and radiological controlled areas at St. Lucie or Turkey Point The testing also included all positions in the first phase of the program.

Cecil Wethy, Turkey Point plant site vice president:

'7he age of the Turkey Point nuclear units presents us with a major challenge. Many of our projects involve upgrading the design of a number ofsystems to present requirements.

In addition, equipment replacement to address plant aging and to employ new technologyis necessary to ensure high reliabilityin the future. Our top priorityjob at Turkey Point aside from safety, is to maintain effective interaction with our regulators.

This is essential forsuccess inimplementing the many changes required."

~C+p feggy During 1986, the Turkey Point plant produced its 100bil.-

lionth kilowatt-hour of electricity. Located on Biscayne Bay in south Dade County near Homestead, the plant has saved customers an estimated

$2.7 billion in fuel costs since beginning operation in 1972.

The Turkey Point units have performed remarkably well during their 14 years of operation. They have a combined lifetime capacity factor of 66 percent compared to the in-dustry average of 60.3 percent In the key performance indicator of forced outage rate over the life of the plant, both units have been outstanding. The forced outage rate for Unit 3 is 8 percent, with Unit4at 6.7 percent Thecur-rent annuai national average is 177 percent.

In 1984, the performance enhancement program (PEP) was established at Turkey Point to upgrade overall site op-

.erations and manage the changes and modifications nec-essary to bring the plant to current standards. Included in this continuing program are enhancements to:

~ site facilities

~ operations

~ procedures

~ configuration controls

~ training

~ management actions

~ licensing programs

~ quality programs

~ maintenance

~ technical specifications.

~ operability of safety systems

Turkey Point Plant All PEP tasks continued to be completed on schedule during 1986. One project, procedure upgrade, has had a significant impact on improving operations and mainte-nance. Since 1984, 639 new procedures have been devel-oped, bringing the total number to 1,164. Another project was an integrated schedule designed to address all planned plant modifications. With priorities assigned based on future safety impact and cost/benefit analysis, schedules are produced according to priority and the available resources.

The system, when approved by the NRC, willprovide an agreed-upon method to makesched-uled commitments for safety-related modifications and efficiency improvements.

The preliminary five-year inte-grated schedule now consists of about $200 million of work on almost 500 selected projects.

pxI tg' During 1986, a systematic review of selected safety systems and a changeover to modified standard technical specifications were initiated. These projects were devel-oped to ensure conformance to current design require-ments and regulatory criteria. In the overall facilityevalua-tion in the systematic assessment of licensee performance (SALP) report, the NRC concluded that "...

these initiatives are of far greater magnitude and scope than any similar initiatives at other utilities... They not only benefit Turkey Point but are expected to serve as a model for other utilities."

Equipment modifications and design configuration is-sues were the dominant factors in extending the outage of Unit4. In all, 230 plant changes and modifications were completed at Turkey Point during 1986. Significant changes and upgrades were made in emergency diesel generator loading, the component cooling water system and the auxiliary feedwater system.

Designed to coexist with its environment, Turkey Point's 12,700-acre plant site continues to be the home for such rare and endangered species as the American croco-dile and bald eagle. Most of the land is dominated by mangrove swamps maintained in their natural state to serve as a wildlifepreserve. Additionally, 2,500 acres of the original site were deeded to the state of Florida in 1972 and that land today is part of the Biscayne National Park.

Radiological safety and emergency planning FPL's overall radiological exposure has dropped 65 percent since 1983.

Another measure of the depart-ment's radiological improvement is the continued reduction in low level radioactive waste

shipped, which has been reduced 62 per-cent since 1983.

O'0 H,

In 1986, the department's radiation dosimetry process-ing program was accredited by the U.S, Department of Commerce National Bureau of Standards, under the na-tional voluntary laboratory accreditation program (NVLAP).Dosimetry is the process by which personnel ex-posure to radiation is carefully monitored. FPL is one of only 13 utilities accredited under NVLAP in all eight cate-gories of consideration.

The emergency preparedness program continued to be effective as demonstrated by successful tests of emer-gency plans and favorable evaluations by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the NRC and the Insti-tute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).

Ken Harris, St. Lucie plant site vice president:

"St. Lucies exceptional operating record has been recognized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which has subsequently reducedon-site inspections. Both St. Lucie units have drawn international at ten-tion as being among the best performing nuclear plantsin the world.

The team focus now willturn toward operating and maintenance cost control."

Atthe end of1986, the St Lucie plant marked 10 years of record-setting commercial operation.

Since the startup of St. Lucie 1 in 1976 (Unit 2 began service in 1983 followingan industry record construction schedule of six years), the plant has generated more than 68 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. In displacing the equivalent ofmore than 109 millionbarrels ofoil, the units have saved FPL customers an estimated $1.9 billion in fuel costs.

St. Lucie 1 achieved a capacity factor for 1986 of 97 percent and was listed by the publication Nucleonics Week as the best performing unit in the country. Accord-ing to Utility Data Institute, both St. Lucie units were among the ten lowest in cost of generating units in the nation. A report by the NRC office of analysis and evalua-tion of operational data rated St Lucie 2 as the best of 19 new units to come on line during the 1983-85 period.

Even though this unit had a refueling outage during 1986, itstillfinished the year with an 84 percent capacity factor.

In recognition of the planQ exceptional operating re-cord, the NRC in 1986 named St Lucie as one ofonly two nuclear facilities in an 11-state southeast region and one ofonlyfive in the country eligible for reduced on site in-spections.

In the NRC systematic assessment of licensee perform-ance (SALP),the level of performance at St Lucie was graded as "high" with major strengths identified in areas of plant operations, maintenance, surveillance, licensing activities and training and qualifications effectiveness-. No major weaknesses were identified.

10

St. Lucie Plant During 1986, 286 plant changes and modifications were completed. These were necessary to meet chang-ing regulatory requirements and to ensure continued high equipment reliability in the future.

Key performance indicators included a 46 percent re-duction in automatic trips since 1984, a reduction in per-sonnel exposure of 63 percent from the previous year and a reduction of 17 percent in radioactive waste shipped. There was just one equipment related trip during 1986.

In addition to its performance records, St Lucie has also become noted for its environmental contributions.

About one-fourth of the 1,132-acre property is used for plant facilities, transmission lines and canals. The remain-ing mangrove

swamps, marshlands and'beaches are maintained in their natural state. Some 160 species of birds and 25 different kinds ofanimals live at St Lucie and are regularly monitored by the utility.Two parks are main-tained for use by the public and the site's landscaping complements its natural surroundings.

Conservation ac-tivities include "turtle walks" that offer the public a chance to view the nighttime nesting rituals of giant log-gerhead, leatherback and green sea turtles.

10.1

Maintenance he role of maintenance is vital in nuclear plant relia-bility and among 1986 achievements in that area was the development ofan analytically-based preven-tive maintenance program 0

at the Turkey Point plant The goal of the program is to improve plant safety and availability through high-tech analysis to allow for preventive rather than corrective maintenance. New techniques include thermog-raphy, vibration analysis, computer data bases, statistical quality control and analysis related to component aging.

Implementation of a nuclear job planning sys-tem was also completed during 1986. The com-puterized network provides a centralized loca-

. tion for all information regarding plant work orders. The system is interfaced with a total equipment data base that contains information on components at each plant site.

A maintenance self assessment, using the In.

stitute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) maintenance guideline document as a reference, was completed at both plants in 1986. In addi-tion, a tracking system to monitor action items was installed as part ofthe program. FPL was the first utilityin the country to complete the self as-sessment Unit scrams, or automatic shutdowns of the reactor, decreased substantially in 1986. This was accomplished through the formation of quality improvement teams which analyzed all unit re-actor scrams since 1980 and then developed countermeasures for prevention. As a result, the average number of scrams per unit decreased from 51 to 3.5.

~ Industry Average FORCED OUTAGE RATE - Forced outage figures reflect the percentage of time units are offline due to forced events when they could otherwise be producing power. Forced events are unplanned equipment failwes or other conditions that result in units being taken offline on short notice.

Senior Plant Technician Ralph Akerman conducts thermographic analysis on the St. Lucie Unit 1 isolated phase bus duct. Such high technology analysis is a part of the increased emphasis on analytically.based preventive maintenance.

he performance of the nu-clear energy department contributed significantly to FPL's overall financial per-formance during 1986.

The total nuclear non-fuel operation and mainte-nance expenses in 1986 were approximately $183 million. FPL's 1986 av-erage total nuclear production costs including fuel was 20.9 percent less than the 1985 industry average. tndustry data for 1986 was unavailable at the time of this printing.

The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) also allowed recovery of $216 million in jurisdic-tional costs associated with the replacement of the Turkey Point steam generators during 1981 to 1983. During two days of hearings held by the PSC, testimony showed that the events requiring the replacement of the steam generators were beyond FPL's control ~ The commission deter-mined that the costs were prudently incurred for the benefit of the company's customers.

~ industry Average THERMAL PERFORMANCE - Thermal performance is usually measured by heat rate, or Btu per kilowatt hour. Alowheat rate reflects emphasis on thermal efficiency and attention to detail in maintenance.

An efficient or "well tuned" plant enables operators to detect abnormal trends and correct them early. The minimum heat rates attainable are also a function of plant design.

n 1981, FPL launched a

company-wide Quality Im-provement Program (QIP)

O designed to provide the tools necessary to help produce innovative solu-tions to complex roblems.

p The program's quality concepts have been es-pecially valuable to the nuclear energy depart-ment, where higher standards have been on-going goals. The application of statistical quality control techniques, as emphasized in the quality improvement process, has become essential to the everyday operations of the nuclear program.

QIP consists of three distinct and separate areas:

Teams During 1986, the nuclear energy department had 141 teams dealing with a wide variety of problem and opportunity areas.

Utilizing prob-lem solving techniques taught in extensive train-ing programs, more than 850 department em-ployees participated on teams.

By determining the root causes of problems and formulating cor-rective actions, team members continually im-prove performance.

An example of one such team success during 1986 was the development of a new, simplified control rod split pin replacement operation at Turkey Point 4. Through vendor and FPL team ef-forts, the reactor's 102 guide tube split pins were replaced in 18 days nearly five days ahead of schedule, under budget and with no rework, a first in the industry.

Other quality team achievements during 1986 included new emergency operations proce-dures, significant radwaste reductions, improved electrical power availability for refueling activi-ties and enhanced refueling outage planning.

j~ kkks AQIP team, the "QKT's"increased the efficiencyofthe method ofcommu.

nicating with plant operations and support personnel during offwork hours. The Turkey Point team included (left to right) Dru Tenneli, Pat Boyd, Margie Ottilige, Gyneth Rhodes and Dawn Costa. Connie Herd was also a member ofthe team.

The Quality Program

/

gy, tr /

The nuclear energy staffQIP team satisfied the national voluntary laborato.

ryprogram requirement fordosimetry acueditation.

The team developed quality control training programs, dose algonthms and required proce.

dures.

The benefit was immediate assessment of worker radiation expo.

sure measured at the highest standards ofaccuracy.

Team members were Nuclear Energy Analyst MikeFedotowsky (left), Technician Pat ti Tims (cen.

ter) and Senior Specialist Sandy Perle. Alsoon the team was Regina Belcher.

Qualityin daily work (Q/OW)

Emphasizing continually improving work performance, this component of the quality program begins with a thorough identification ofjob responsibilities for each in-dividual. Standards to measure performance and to set goals are then developed for each position. Once the work process has been shown to meet its objectives, the process may be standardized for the entire work unit.

The QIDW process promotes systematic control and improvement in any task to which it is applied. Aprocess is established for day-to.day work performance whichre-quires that day-to-day work be planned, done, checked, and ifthe objectives have not been met, acted upon.

FPL's quality improvement efforts are based on a re-spect for people in the work place, customer satisfaction, the use of data for management direction and quality performance on a daily basis. The quality program has emerged as the single most important element in the way FPL operates as a company.

The use of quality improvement principals to achieve significant savings in operations costs, increase customer satisfaction and improve communication and coopera-tion among employees has attracted international atten-tion. To date, more than 500 organizations in the U.S. and Europe including 24 electric utilities have attended special seminars held at FPL to leam more about the program.

I ji Policy deployment As FPL's corporate "roadmap," policy deployment requires that each department concentrate on a few select areas of performance improvement. Success in these priority

'reas is achieved by a corporate-wide focus geared to providing solutions and developing opportunities. With an emphasis on data gathering, the policy deployment process demands that improvement actions be constant-ly monitored and measured with follow-up corrective ac-tion taken when necessary.

The policy deployment goals of the nuclear energy de-partment are to: (1) improve regulatory performance (2) improve unit reliability(3) plan andmanage operating and maintenance expenses within approved budgets. Specific plant and staff annual plans then are supported by proj-ects aimed at accomplishing the mid-term plans. (see pol-icy deployment diagram) 5 The St. Lucie QIP "INPO"team promoted a concentrated plant wide effort to raise the overall St. Lucie INPO rating ofplant processes and procedures.

The 886 INPO evaluation found ten "good practices," a significant im.

provement overprevious evaluations.

Team members included (front row, leftto right) Chns Burton, Russ Cox, BillAlfera,Rick Wagoner(backrow, left to right), Lamar McLaughlin, Doc Mercer, Hany Bishop, Dennis Wyatt;Bob May ew and Ed Burgess. Other team members were Alan Hilland Andy Pauley.

Simply stated, our job is to provide safe, reliable and least cost energy to our customers.

These three goals are not mutually exclusive. They must be. achieved in concert and while they present for-midable challenges, we are demonstrating that superior performances are possible in each area.

A part of our Quality Improvement Program concen-trates on always bringing performance into proper focus.

Part of such a focus is the need to track performance and communicate openly and effectively with fellow employ-ees. The demands of a flawless performance call for anin-creased awareness on the part of each employee in every area of operation anything short of this is not meeting our personal commitment to quality.

During 1986, Florida became the nation's fifth most populous state as 113,000 new customers joined the FPL system.

The state is projected to become the fourth largest in 1987.

To meet such growing demands, the nuclear energy department must continue to build on its quality-conscious philosophy and efficiency-oriented operation.

As a vital component of the FPL power system, we must continue to find ways to improve as we are called upon to generate the needs of a new generation of customers.

We must use the considerable accomplishments of 1986 to springboard to new and unprecedented heights in nuclear performance, forwhile we are proud... we are not yet satisfied.
