The staff did so and documented the results in SECY-01-0114, 'Results of the Initial Implementation of the New Reactor Oversight Process', issued June 25, 2001. In a follow-up SRM issued on May 17, 2000, the Commission directed the staff to report on the ROP results after the first year of implementation. The initial implementation of the ROP began on April 2, 2000. The resulting staff requirements memorandum (SRM), issued on March 28, 2000, approved initial implementation of the ROP as recommended by the staff. On February 24, 2000, the staff issued SECY-00-0049, 'Results of the Revised Reactor Oversight Process Pilot Program'. See Plugins, Viewers, and Other Tools for more information. FPL produces more than 20 percent of its total electricity output from its two nuclear plants.This page includes links to files in non-HTML format. Lucie nuclear power plants, with completion expected next year. Lucie plant last year, as well as the NRC's role in ensuring safe plant operations.ДЇPL is adding approximately 490 megawatts of increased generating capacity from 'uprates' at its Turkey Point and St. Lucie Site Visitors' Center, 6501 South Ocean Drive, Jensen BeachДЄfter a brief presentation, NRC staff will be available to answer questions on the safety of the St. The meeting is at the Energy Encounter at St. Wednesday, the NRC staff is scheduled to have a public meeting at the plant to discuss safety performance. Unit 2 also had an unplanned shutdown Friday, due to a valve failure on the non-nuclear side of the plant, but is now operating normally, according to NRC records.ДЄt 1 p.m. In 2011 Unit 2 had one unplanned shutdown. Lucie Unit 2, which is classified as green, is operating at 100 percent, according to the NRC. Unit 1 is operating at 29 percent of its capacity today. In 2010, Unit 1 was classified as yellow after air leaked into a cooling water system.

The rating will be reviewed at the end of each quarter, Ledford said. 'If this many events happened, there is the suggestion that there could be problems,' Ledford said. Only one shutdown with complications is allowed during the 7,000 critical hours.

The unit is permitted to have three shutdowns within 7,000 critical hours, meaning those during which the plant is producing electricity, but it averaged more than that. Ledford said the August and March shutdowns were complicated. Sometimes our proactive response involves a conservative decision to shut down the plant,' said FPL spokesman Mike Waldron. 'FPL has very stringent operating procedures and a very low threshold for identifying and proactively responding to low-level indicators before they become problems. The NRC will conduct further inspections to assure that the causes of the shutdowns are understood, that the extent of the condition is identified and that FPL's corrections are sufficient, McCree said. The March shutdown is still under review, said NRC spokesman Joey Ledford. 22, 2011, and March 13 were caused by problems with valves.

22, 2011, was due to a massive influx of jellyfish into the intake structure. A shutdown or 'manual reactor trip' on Aug. The Unit 1 reactor at the plant on Hutchinson Island in Jensen Beach had two unplanned shutdowns in 2011 and one this year. 'However, these shutdowns point to performance issues and a trend that needs to be addressed.' Lucie plant continues to operate safely,' NRC Region II Administrator Victor McCree said in a statement. A green rating is the highest, with the white performance category one step below that, followed by yellow, then red. Lucie Unit 1 crossed the green-to-white threshold for unplanned shutdowns. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday.ДЄn NRC review of the plant's performance in April found that the St. Lucie plant has been placed under increased oversight because of the number and type of unplanned reactor shutdowns at the plant, the U.S. Florida Power & Light Co.'s Unit 1 nuclear reactor at its St.
