Dear Sir:

On December 16, 2008, Florida Power Corporation (FPC), doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF), requested renewal of the operating license for Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) to extend the term of its operating license an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration date (Reference 1). Subsequently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), by letter dated December 14, 2010, issued a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) with open items related to the license renewal of CR-3 (Reference 2). On January 27, 2011, a telephone conference was held between the NRC staff and PEF license renewal personnel to discuss Open Item 3.5-1, Reactor Building Delamination. The discussion focused on the CR-3 schedule of monitoring and testing that will be performed to ensure that the Reactor Building concrete delamination has been adequately repaired. CR-3 agreed to provide the current schedule for the Reactor Building testing activities. The Enclosure to this submittal contains the requested summary schedule.

No new regulatory commitments are contained in this submittal. The current summary schedule for Reactor Building testing, monitoring and examination contained in the Enclosure to this submittal is being provided for information only and is subject to change.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Mike Heath, Supervisor, License Renewal, at (910) 457-3487, e-mail at mike.heath@pgnmail.com.
