November 22, 2010, Accession No. ML103560419.
By letter L-2010-259 dated November 22, 2010 [Reference 1], Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requested to amend Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-67 and revise the St. Lucie Unit 1 Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment will increase the unit's licensed core thermal power level from 2700 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3020 MWt and revise the Renewed Facility Operating License and TS to support operation at this increased core thermal power level. This represents an approximate increase of 11.85% and is therefore considered an Extended Power Uprate (EPU).
During a conference call on March 26, 2012, the NRC Project Manager identified a request for additional information (RAI) from the NRC staff in the Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) related to St. Lucie Unit I vessel flux reduction assemblies (VFRAs) to support their review of the EPU License Amendment Request (LAR). The response to this RAI is provided in the Attachment to this letter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (b)(1), a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the designated State of Florida official.
This submittal does not alter the significant hazards consideration or environmental assessment previously submitted by FPL letter L-2010-259 [Reference 1].

L-2012-146 Attachment Page 1 of 1 Response to NRC Reactor Systems Branch Request for Additional Information The following information is provided by Florida Power & Light (FPL) in response to the U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Request for Additional Information (RAI). This information was requested to support the Extended Power Uprate (EPU) License Amendment Request (LAR) for St. Lucie Unit 1 submitted to the NRC by FPL via letter L-2010-259 dated November 22, 2010, Accession Number ML103560419.
During a conference call on March 26, 2012, the NRC Project Manager identified a request for additional information (RAI) from the NRC staff in the Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) related to St. Lucie Unit 1 vessel flux reduction assemblies (VFRAs). FPL designated the question as SRXB-64; the response is provided below.
RAI SRXB-64 Provide justification why vessel flux reduction assemblies can be placed in any location in the spent fuel pool designated for a fuel assembly.
Response
Vessel flux reduction assemblies (VFRAs) were used in St. Lucie Unit 1 between operating cycles 11 and 14 (years 1991 through 1997). The VFRAs accumulated burnups less than 3600 MWD/MTU of exposure. Since calculations showed that their reactivity slightly increased with burnup, they were conservatively evaluated at approximately 4000 MWD/MTU to bound actual exposures. After depleting up to the noted exposure with hafnium rods inserted, the hafnium rods were removed to establish a bounding reactivity value. No credit is taken for their cooling times in the spent fuel pool (>10 years).
Additionally, a fuel assembly with 1.9 wt % U235 (20,000 MWD/MTU burnup) was evaluated and compared to the VFRAs with and without hafnium rods. The exposure for the 1.9 wt % U235 fuel assembly was selected based on the exposure required for case 6 (fuel type 5) fuel assemblies at that enrichment. Case 6 represents the lowest reactivity class fuel in the criticality analysis presented in the EPU LAR.
The VFRAs (with and without hafnium) were found to have reactivities (k-=) that remained below the assembly with 1.9 wt % U235 , as shown in the table below:
