NRC Response to the Licensee's October 13, 1986 Specific Written Comments
Concerning the St. Lucie Plant SALP
A.
SALP Enclosure 2,Section IV B.1 Radiological Controls
The first comment concerns the reference to an inadvertent personal
overexposure associated with steam generator sludge lancing activities.
The SALP report has referenced NRC inspection 335/86-01 as the source
of the information.
The Notice of Violation contained two areas in
which the violation was identified:
Failure to establish radiation protection procedures.
Failure to perform adequate surveys (evaluations) of individual
exposures.
The violation was issued as a result of a special, announced inspection
in an area concerning the potential of whole body radiation exposure in
excess of 10 CFR 20. limits.
FPL concurs there was a potential to
exceed the limits 'and the NRC issued the violation based on the
potential for an overexposure.
Response:
The licensee is correct in that an actual overexposure was
not identified.
B.
SALP Enclosure 2,Section IV H.1 Outages
The Outage portion of the evaluation expressed an NRC recommendation
that FPL implement a more detailed and disciplined search for fuel
failure mechanisms, during the next refueling outage. This was based on
the additional fuel failures experienced since the last Unit I
refueling outage.
NRC should consider that with an 18 month refuel
cycle, fuel performance improvements may require 4.5 years to be fully
implemented.
With less than 0.05% failed fuel rods at the end of
Cycle 6, FPL sought to improve and will continue to seek improvements
in fuel performance.
Response:
NRC inspection and review of licensee correspondence since
the end of the SALP period indicate that the licensee has taken
important steps tc prevent future fuel failure including initial steps
to change to fuel rods that are solid in the area of the bottom space
grid.
