-1257 March 4, 2015 Mr. Mano Nazar President and Chief Nuclear Officer Nuclear Division NextEra Energy P.O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408

-0420 SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ST. LUCIE PLANT UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 (REPORT 05000 335/20 14 00 1 AND 05000 389/20 14 00 1)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On February 11, 201 5, the NRC completed its end-of-cycle performance review of St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 and Unit 2. The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions from January 1 , 20 1 4 , through December 31

, 20 1 4. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.

The NRC determined the performance at St. Lucie Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC

's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. St. Lucie Unit 1 moved to the Regulatory Response column of the Action Matrix beginning in the third quarter of 2014 as the result of a finding with low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone. The finding was associated with the failure to maintain the watertight integrity of the Unit 1 Reactor Auxiliary Building. On December 19, 2014, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection using Inspection Procedure (IP) 95001, "Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area

," for Unit 1. Based on the results of this inspection, as documented in inspection report 05000335/2014011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15027A197), the NRC determined that your actions were sufficient to address the performance issues that led to the White (low to moderate safety significance) violation

. This finding will remain an Action Matrix input until the end of the second quarter 2015. The NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at St. Lucie Unit 1 during the upcoming inspection cycle

.

The NRC determined that overall, St. Lucie Unit 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. The NRC determined the performance at St. Lucie Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRC's ROP Action Matrix because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, and all PIs indicated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at St. Lucie Unit 2. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30 , 20 1 6. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

This inspection plan does not include security

-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non

-publicly available correspondence.

The NRC also plans on conducting thre e non-routine inspections.

Temporary Instruction 2515/190, "Inspection of Licensee's Proposed Interim Actions as a Result of the Near

-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 Flooding Reevaluation ," IP 71003, "Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal,"

Phases 1 and 2, and IP 92702, "Followup on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviation s." In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC

's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading

-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
