Dear Ms. Vietti-Cook:
Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), the entity licensed to operate the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4, hereby submits the following comments on the above-referenced draft Standard Review Plan on Foreign Ownership, Control, and Domination (SRP).
FPL supports the approach set forth in the SRP toward reviewing whether an applicant for an NRC license is owned, controlled, or dominated by an alien, foreign corporation, or foreign government. FPL believes that the tiered approach set forth in the SRP, including initial screening of applications, requests for additional information, and allowing the applicant to submit a negation action plan in the event that the Staff finds that the applicant is owned, controlled, or dominated by a foreign interest, will enable the Commission to satisfy its statutory obligations under Sections 103 and 104 of the Atomic Energy Act.
At the same time, this approach provides a flexible fiamework whereby ownership arrangements of nuclear assets involving foreign investment can be reviewed and licensing actions can be tailored to address the facts of a particular case. Such an approach will help encourage investment in and transfers of nuclear assets, thereby helping to preserve nuclear energy as a competitive source ofgeneration in a deregulated electricity supply environment. Additionally, FPL endorses NEI's comments on this subject.
FPL appreciates the opportunity to comment on the draft SRP on foreign ownership, control, and domination.
Sincerely yours, f
