In its Reference 1 letter, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it intends to submit a Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) for the Operating Licenses for St. Lucie Nuclear Generating (St. Lucie) Units 1 and 2. Pursuant to NRC regulations set forth in 10 CFR Parts 50, 51, and 54, FPL, owner and licensee for St. Lucie Nuclear Plant (PSL) Units 1 and 2 (Facility Operating Licenses DPR-67 and NPF-16, respectively), hereby applies for the subsequent renewal of the Facility Operating Licenses for PSL Units 1 and 2. By this SLRA, FPL seeks to extend the term of each operating license by 20 years beyond its current expiration date. This application also seeks renewal of the source material, special nuclear material, and by-product material licenses that are subsumed in or combined with each of the Facility Operating Licenses.

The current renewed Facility Operating License for PSL Unit 1 expires on March 1, 2036. The current renewed Facility Operating License for PSL Unit 2 expires on April 6, 2043. 10 CFR 54.17(c) requires that an application for a renewed operating license not be submitted earlier than 20 years before the expiration of the license currently in effect. Because this SLRA for both units is being submitted earlier than 20 years before the renewed facility operating license for St. Lucie Unit 2 expires, an exemption to the above 20-year requirement was requested (Reference 2) and approved (Reference 3).

The PSL SLRA is submitted in accordance with the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 54, 10 CFR Part 50, and Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 51. This application meets the timeliness requirements of 10 CFR 2.109(b)
