SUBJECT:

ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION ANDREQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Stall:

During the period of October 22-26, 2007, and November 13-16, 2007, the NRC will conductbaseline radiation safety inspection activities at the St Lucie Nuclear Station. The inspection will focus on the Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) Numbers 71121.01, 71121.02, and 71122.02; and will include the Radiation Safety sections of IP 71151. The inspectors also will complete a review of radiation protection activities associated with groundwater monitoring activities as outlined in IP 71122.01. Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspectorsand your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to conduct a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The lead inspector has scheduled a three day pre-inspection visit with your staff for the September 04-06, 2007 period. The requested material will be reviewed and collected at that time.We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understandthat our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Don. Cecchett of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, George B. Kuzo at (404) 562-4658. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter andits enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document FP&L2Room 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).Sincerely,/RA/Brian Bonser , ChiefPlant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor SafetyDockets Nos. 50-335, 389, License Nos.
