NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-389; NRC-2015-0235]


Florida Power and Light Company St. Lucie Plant, Unit 2

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: 10 CFR 2.206 request; receipt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is giving notice 
that by petition dated March 10, 2014, as supplemented, the Southern 
Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE, the petitioner) has requested that the 
NRC take enforcement action with regard to Florida Power and Light 
Company (FPL or the licensee). The petitioner's requests are included 
in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated March 10, 2014 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML14071A431), as supplemented,\1\ SACE requested a 
hearing and that the NRC revoke the de facto license amendment for the 
replacement of the steam generators (SGs) under section 50.59 of Title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). As the basis for this 
request, the petitioner stated that the Sec.  50.59 process was 
incorrectly applied and that replacement of the SGs should have 
required a license amendment under 10 CFR 50.90. The petitioner stated 
concerns with how the licensee implemented the Sec.  50.59 process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Supplements (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML14071A431, ML14115A457, 
ML14115A458, ML14125A514, ML14128A557, ML14143A412, ML14147A523, 
ML14310A811, and ML14337A792).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, the Commission, by a Memorandum and Order (CLI-14-11) \2\ 
dated December 19, 2014, referred the SACE's hearing request to the 
Executive Director for Operations for disposition under 10 CFR 2.206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Commission Memorandum and Order dated December 19, 2014 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML14353A114).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the NRC's 
regulations. The NRC staff has reviewed the petition and its 
supplements and referred the request to the Director of the Office of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The Director determined that the 
petitioner's request partially meets the criteria for review under 10 
CFR 2.206 and partially meets the criteria for rejection.
    The parts of the petition that met the criteria for rejection are 
the SACE's concerns related to the inspection of the replacement SGs, 
as well as the concerns regarding the effects of the extended power 
uprate on SG tube inservice inspection and flow-induced effects on the 
SG internals. These items meet one criterion for rejection in 
accordance with Management Directive (MD) 8.11, on the basis that these 
issues have already been reviewed, evaluated, and resolved by the NRC 
staff. However, the NRC staff determined that part of the petition that 
addresses SACE's concerns regarding the licensee's application of the 
Sec.  50.59 process, with respect to the change in a methodology as 
described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, meets the 
criteria for review of a petition under 10 CFR 2.206. The NRC staff 
will take appropriate action on this petition within a reasonable time 
as provided by 10 CFR 2.206.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of September 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William M. Dean,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
