By letter dated August 28, 2003, FPL provided a response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) request for additional information (RAI) dated July 22, 2003.
The NRC staff has reviewed your response and finds that additional clarification is needed. A response to the enclosed RAI is needed before we can complete the review. This request was discussed with your staff on October 30, 2003, and Mr. George Madden agreed that a response would be provided by December 12, 2003.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (301) 415-3974.
Sincerely,

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)
ADDITION OF SPENT FUEL POOL CASK AREA RACK AMENDMENT FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT SAINT LUCIE PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-335 AND 50-389 Section 3.5 "Handling of Heavy Loads" of the October 23, 2002, submittal stated:
Section 3.5 in Enclosure 2 details the defense-in-depth approach taken to ensure that the handling of the racks and platforms by the cask handling cranes will comply with the NUREG-0612 guidance.
However, the discussion in Section 3.5 of Enclosure 2 seems to be limited to the guidance addressed in Section 5.1.1 of NUREG-0612.
Compliance with NUREG-0612, is also addressed in the licensees August 28, 2003, response to the staff RAI; however, the responses to RAI questions 6 and 7 concerning compliance with NUREG-0612 address only Section 5.1.1 of NUREG-0612.
Guidance given in Section 5.1.2 of NUREG-0612 recommends that one of the four criteria listed in Section 5.1.2 of the NUREG also be satisfied. Describe how the Spent Fuel Cask Handling Crane meets the guidelines of Section 5.1.2 of NUREG-0612.
