NOTICE AND ORDER (Scheduling Oral Argument)
On October 14, 2014, petitioner Citizens Allied for Safe Energy, Inc. (CASE) filed a petition requesting a hearing on license amendments issued to the Florida Power & Light Companys (FPL) Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4 that increased the ultimate heat sink water temperature limit for the plants cooling canal system (CCS).1 CASEs petition includes four proposed contentions, which read as follows:
Contention 1 - The uprate of Turkey Point reactors 3 & 4 has been concurrent with alarming increases in salinity, temperature, tritium and chloride in the CCS area.
Contention 2 - The exigent CCS problems started years before July, 2014 and were being addressed in 2013 and earlier.
Contention 3 - The measures being used to control the CCS conditions are extraordinarily invasive, environmentally usurious and some untested.
Contention 4 - The CCS is aging, old technology and FPL has no redundancy for Units 3 & 4 limiting corrective actions.2 1
