1 While achieving these fine operating records, St. Lucie has been o>erated in a safe and conservative manner.
It has consistently received'favora)le NRC systematic assessment of licensee performance (SALP) ratings, a low number of 1
NRC violations and positive INPO evaluation reports. At the end of the last SALP period, St. Lucie received a rating of 1 in all categories.
In the most recent INPO evaluation, St. Lucie was rated as a category 1 plant. the highest 4
ranking awarded, for the second consecutive period.
The plant generally enjoys a favorable perception on the part of the local community and media. Over the years, the plant staff has supported many community efforts such as United Way, blood drives, food drives, and the l
building of-off-shore artificial reefs. There are also two county beach parks l
built on site property leased to St. Lucie County.
Last year, the St. Lucie. Plant opened its new visitors center called Energy Encounter.
The Energy Encounter is open to the public and is specifically targeted at informing schoolchildren about energy in general, nuclear power, and Florida Power and Light Company's contribution to society and the environment.

Maior Issues currently, there are no major enforcement, licensing, or regulatory issues at t'
St. Lucie. The only major technical item facing St. Lucie in the future is replacement of Unit 1 Steam Generators (SGs).
Two new SGs were ordered from B&W for delivery in late 1996.
Installation is expected during the 1997 refueling outage. Unit 2 SGs will not need to be replaced. One significant i

VISIT BY FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY (FPL) PRESIDEN1' 0F-NUCLEAR DIVISION, MR. JEROME H. GOLDBERG WITH THE CHAIRMAN AND COMNISSIONERS ON JUNE 24, 1993 i
PLANTS:
St. Lucie Units I and 2, Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 ENCLOSURES:
- 1. Mr. Goldberg's Biography
- 2. Corporate Organization Chart also showing plant management Backaround Information for St. Lucie l
The St. Lucie Nuclear plant is located on an 1100 acre site on Hutchinson Island, which is a natural barrier island.
The plant is comprised of two nearly identical units designed by Combustion Engineering. The non-nuclear, 3-or steam plants, were designed by Ebasco Services. The turbine-generators were designed by Westirghouse Corporation and are comprised of or high pressure and two low prusure turbines.
Each reactor has two steam generators and is licensed to 2700 megawatts thermal power. Each unit is capable of generating approximately 900 megawatts of electric power. Cooling is provided by secwater, drawn and returned to the Atlantic Ocean.
l i
Unit'I was placed in commercial operation in December 1976. The reactors are t
1 refueled at approximately eighteen month intervals; Unit 1 is currently in its twelfth-fuel cycle.
i Unit 2 received its construction permit in 1977 and began commercial operation in August 1983. This is three and a half years shorter than the U.S. industry average for nuclear power plants. Both St. Lucie units have proven to be l
reliable, safe, and well-designed as evidenced by their excellent records.
St. Lucie Unit I currently has a lifetime cc;;p:.ity factor of 75%. Over the years, the. unit has achieved many world and u.s. records associated with plant availability and capacity factor.
In addition to its excellent startup record, St. Lucie Unit 2 also has an outstanding performance record.
In 1987-l 1988, Unit 2 set a new FPL record for continuous operation of 427 days and had the number one capacity factor of any nuclear plant in the world. Unit 2 currently has a lifetime capacity factor of 82%, well above the U.S. industry average. At the end of 1991, Unit 2 was again recognized as the plant with the highest capacity factor in the world. When Unit 2 shut down to refuel on April 20, 1992, the unit had set a new world record for pressurized light i.
water reactors for consecutive days on line. The unit had operated 502 days non-stop before being removed from service for refueling.
