Re: St. Lucie Unit 1 Docket No. 50-335 S ent Fuel Pool Rerack By letter L-87-245, dated June 12, 1987, Florida Power S Light Company (FPL) submitted a proposed license amendment to permit replacement of the St. Lucie Unit 1 spent fuel pool racks to ensure that sufficient future capacity exists for storage of spent fuel at that unit. The new, high-density racks were intended to increase the available storage to 1706 spent fuel assemblies and to provide adequate spent fuel storage space until the year 2009.

By Amendment No. 91, dated March ll, license amendment permitting the spent 1988, the NRC issued the fuel pool rerack.

Shortly thereafter, FPL began construction activities related to this spent fuel pool rerack.

This letter is intended to inform the NRC that the reracking of the St. Lucie Unit 1 spent fuel pool authorized by Amendment No. 91 is now complete. Construction activities inside the spent fuel building are concluded and the temporary construction crane has been removed.

As an adjunct to the above, by letter L-86-250, dated July 2, 1986, FPL submitted a proposed license amendment to permit the transfer of spent fuel assemblies (SFAs) from the St.

Lucie Unit 1 spent fuel pool to the St. Lucie Unit 2 spent fuel pool. This amendment was intended to provide a temporary storage location for St. Lucie Unit 1 SFAs full core offload of St. Lucie Unit 1 was required prior to if a the spent fuel pool reracking described above.

l U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission L-88-253 Page two The proposed amendment was issued as Amendment No. 30 to the St. Lucie Unit 2 Operating License, dated May 10, 1988. The amendment included License Condition 2.C(19), repeated below.

(19) Unit No. 1 spent fuel may be transferred from the Unit No. 1 spent fuel pool to the Unit, No. 2 spent fuel pool, as necessary, until completion of all activities related to the increase in capacity of the Unit No. 1 spent fuel pool to 1706 spent fuel assemblies. Spent fuel assemblies transferred from the Unit 1 spent fuel pool to the Unit 2 spent fuel pool may remain in the Unit 2 spent fuel pool or be transferred back to the Unit 1 spent fuel pool.

By virtue of this condition and, as a result of the completion of the St. Lucie Unit 1 spent fuel pool reracking, FPL is of the view that Amendment No. 30 to the St. Lucie Unit 2 operating license is no longer operative and that legal authority to transfer SFAs from St. Lucie Unit 1 to St.

Lucie Unit 2 no longer exists. No SFAs were transferred to Unit 2 from Unit 1 during the operable period of this license condition.
