On May 20, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, or the staff) held a public meeting with FPL to discuss the expected content of the upcoming submittal of the SLRA for St. Lucie with a focus on the environmental review. The slides for the staff presentation are available at ADAMS Accession No. ML21139A307, and the slides for the applicants presentation are available at ADAMS Accession No. ML21139A300. A similar meeting was held April 21, 2021, with a focus on the safety review. A summary of that meeting is available at ADAMS Accessions No. ML21127A218.
The NRC staff began with a brief overview of the subsequent license renewal (SLR) process.
The process consists of two tracks: an environmental review and a safety review. During the meeting, the staff shared a tentative review schedule. For an application submission date of August 3, 2021, the tentative review schedule would be as follows:
Project Start Date (SLRA Acceptance)
Scoping Period (with public meeting approximately midway through)

In the development of the St. Lucie SLRA, FPL will benchmark against other successful SLR utilities and incorporate industry license renewal operating experience. In addition, FPL will incorporate lessons learned from NextEra fleet experience. FPL will review and incorporate previous SLRA request for additional information from Turkey Point, Peach Bottom and Surry.
In support of the NRC review, the applicant will populate an e-Portal.
Following the presentations, NRC and FPL representatives discussed a number of issues, including: coordination with the State Historic Preservation Officer and Tribal nations; coastal zone management act consistency determination; site-specific assessments of Category 2 issues; ground water; replacement power alternatives; and alternative cooling systems.
There were no members of the public in attendance, and thus no questions or comments during the public question and answer portion of the meeting.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Lance.Rakovan@nrc.gov.
