FPL to submit uprate requests for St. Lucie in early 2009

摘要

Florida Power Light plans to submit license amendment requests in third-quarter 2009 for permission to uprate St. Lucie-1 and -2, the company told NRC last month. In a December 7 letter released publicly December 26, FPL said it planned to implement the uprates at unit 1 in fall 2011 and at unit 2 in spring 2012. FPL said it was seeking extended power uprates, which NRC defines as an increase of at least 7 above a reactor's current thermal capacity.
