UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II SAM NUNN ATLANTA FEDERAL CENTER 61 FORSYTH STREET, SW, SUITE 23T85 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-8931 November 13, 2008 Mr. J. Art Stall Executive Vice President, Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer Florida Power and Light Company P.O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420

SUBJECT:

NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE FEBRUARY 18, 2009

Dear Mr Stall:

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission routinely participates in licensees emergency preparedness exercises to ensure that the NRCs Incident Response capabilities are effectively maintained and to provide licensees an opportunity to exercise the interface with the NRC that may occur during the response to an incident at their sites. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our intent to participate in the Turkey Point Emergency Preparedness Exercise that is scheduled to occur on February 18, 2009, which was previously discussed with Don Mothena of the Florida Power and Light staff on January 10, 2008.

Currently, the extent of participation will involve NRC Headquarters response staff, including participation by one of the NRC Commissioners, as well as regional response staff. NRC Headquarters participation will be from the NRC Headquarters Operations Center. The Regional response will involve activating our Region II Incident Response Center and sending an NRC Site Team, including our resident inspectors, to your facilities. If our scope of participation changes, we will contact your emergency preparedness staff to discuss the changes. We will also be coordinating with your staff to schedule pre-exercise outreach presentations and training opportunities given by our emergency response coordinators. The NRC outreach and training is offered to your staff to further reinforce concepts related to NRC incident response activities.

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).

If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact our emergency response coordinator Mr. Steven B. Rudisail at (404) 562-4512 or me at (404) 562-4560.

Sincerely,

/RA/
