RE: Southern Alliance for Energy (SACE) Request Regarding St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 Steam Generator Importance: High Dean Ms. Curran, Thank you very much for your email and your follow up call today. Per your email, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy decided not to request a public meeting with the petition review board (PRB). Per our conversation today, my understanding is that, you do not want your email, below, being processed under the NRCs allegation process. Also, you do not want me to refer your email to the NRC Office of Inspector General.

As we discussed, the next step is for the PRB to hold an internal (closed meeting) to discuss the SACEs petition and develop its recommendations with respect to the petition. Please see MD 8.11 that I provided you with my email dated January 16, 2015. After PRB meets, and before issuing the acknowledgment letter, I will inform you by telephone as to whether or not the SACEs petition meets the criteria for review under 10 CFR 2.206, of the how the review will proceed, and that an acknowledgment letter is forthcoming.

Please let me know if you do not agree with my understanding of our telephone conversation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I you have any questions.

Regards, Farideh Farideh E. Saba, P.E.

Dear Farideh:

This is to let you know that Southern Alliance for Clean Energy has decided not to request a meeting with the NRCs Petition Review Board with regard to the 2.206 proceeding on St. Lucie Unit 2 that the NRC Commissioners ordered in their recent decision, CLI-14-11. We think the written information we have provided is clear and complete, showing that both FPL and the NRC Staff have violated NRCs requirements 1

for the amendment of operating licenses. But if you have any questions about our submittals, please do not hesitate to call me.

Sincerely, Diane Diane Curran Harmon Curran Spielberg & Eisenberg LLP 1726 M Street NW, Suite 600 Washington, DC 20036 (202)328-3500 From: Saba, Farideh [2]

Thanks Farideh. As we discussed over the telephone today, it will not be possible to respond to you by tomorrow because I have been sick with the flu, and next week I will be out of town all week.

I will forward this message to my clients, and will try to get back to you the first or second week of February.

Best wishes, Diane On Jan 16, 2015, at 2:51 PM, Saba, Farideh <Farideh.Saba@nrc.gov> wrote:

1726 M Street N.W., Suite 600 Washington, D.C. 20036 02-328-3500

Dear Ms. Curran,

This is a follow up to the voice mail that I left for you this afternoon. I have been assigned as the Petition Manager for Section 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) process of the hearing request that you submitted on behalf of Southern Alliance for Energy (SACE) regarding St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 Steam Generator to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission, NRC) on March 10, 2014, and its supplemented requests thereafter. The Commission on December 19, 2014 denied the SACEs request and referred it to the NRC Executive Director for Operations for dispositioning under 2.206 (Memorandum and Order CLI-14-11).

Section 2.206 of 10 CFR describes the petition process - the primary mechanism for the public to request enforcement action by the NRC in a public process. This process permits anyone to petition NRC to take enforcement-type action related to NRC licensees or licensed activities. Depending on the results of its evaluation, NRC could modify, suspend or revoke an NRC-issued license or take any other appropriate enforcement action to resolve a problem. The NRC staffs guidance for the disposition of 2.206 petition requests is in Management Directive 8.11, which is publicly available.

The 2.206 process is separate from the allegations process which affords individuals who raise safety concerns a degree of protection of their identity. In the 2.206 process, all of the information in your request will be made public, including your identity. In addition, in accordance with NRC Management Directive 8.11 (which I have attached for your reference), you have the opportunity to address the NRC Petition Review Board (PRB) to further discuss your petition, either in person at the NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD, or by telephone conference.

I would appreciate if you could advise me by January 23, 2015, if you agree to the NRCs processing the SACE request under the 2.206 process. In addition, please advise me if you would like to address the PRB. If you would like to meet in person, I will need to schedule a formal public meeting at the NRC Headquarters. If you would prefer to address the PRB via phone, I will also work with you to coordinate a date/time during the upcoming weeks.

Regards, Farideh E. Saba, P.E.
