II. NRC Response to the Licensee's October 13, 1986 Specific Written Comments

Concerning the St. Lucie Plant SALP

A. SALP Enclosure 2,Section IV B.1 Radiological Controls

The first comment concerns the reference to an inadvertent personal

overexposure associated with steam generator sludge lancing activities.

The SALP report has referenced NRC inspection 335/86-01 as the source

of the information. The Notice of Violation contained two areas in

which the violation was identified:

Failure to establish radiation protection procedures.

Failure to perform adequate surveys (evaluations) of individual

exposures.

The violation was issued as a result of a special, announced inspection

in an area concerning the potential of whole body radiation exposure in

excess of 10 CFR 20. limits. FPL concurs there was a potential to

exceed the limits 'and the NRC issued the violation based on the

potential for an overexposure.

Response: The licensee is correct in that an actual overexposure was

not identified.

B. SALP Enclosure 2,Section IV H.1 Outages

The Outage portion of the evaluation expressed an NRC recommendation

that FPL implement a more detailed and disciplined search for fuel

failure mechanisms, during the next refueling outage. This was based on

the additional fuel failures experienced since the last Unit I

refueling outage. NRC should consider that with an 18 month refuel

cycle, fuel performance improvements may require 4.5 years to be fully

implemented. With less than 0.05% failed fuel rods at the end of

Cycle 6, FPL sought to improve and will continue to seek improvements

in fuel performance.

Response: NRC inspection and review of licensee correspondence since

the end of the SALP period indicate that the licensee has taken

important steps tc prevent future fuel failure including initial steps

to change to fuel rods that are solid in the area of the bottom space

grid.
