Dear Sir:

By letter dated June 15, 2011, Florida Power Corporation (FPC), doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc., requested a license amendment to increase the rated thermal power level of Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) from 2609 megawatts (MWt) to 3014 MWt. On December 7, 2011, the NRC provided a request for additional information (RAI) required to complete its evaluation of the CR-3 Extended Power Uprate (EPU) License Amendment Request (LAR).

The attachment, "Response to Request for Additional Information to Support NRC Instrumentation and Controls Branch Technical Review of the CR-3 EPU LAR," provides the CR-3 formal response to the RAI needed to support the Instrumentation and Controls Branch (EICB) technical review of the CR-3 EPU LAR.

In support of the EICB technical review RAI response, an enclosure, "Drawings of ICCMS, FCS, and ADV Indication and Controls," provides current design diagrams that show the controls and indications in the main control room available to the operator to monitor and control the Inadequate Core Cooling Mitigation System, Fast Cooldown System, and atmospheric dump valves.

This correspondence contains no new regulatory commitments.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Dan Westcott, Superintendent, Licensing and Regulatory Programs at (352) 563-4796.
