     NRC POSTPONES TWO MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY,
OCTOBER 9, AT FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION'S CRYSTAL RIVER PLANT

     The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has postponed two meetings scheduled for
Wednesday, October 9, at Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River nuclear power plant in
Crystal River due to severe weather predicted for the west coast of Florida where the plant
is located.

     The first meeting, which was scheduled for 9:00 a.m., is a special NRC inspection
exit meeting to discuss NRC inspection findings concerning a potential tampering event at
Crystal River. 

     The second meeting, which was scheduled for 10:00 a.m., is a special meeting
requested by the NRC to dicuss FPC's corrective actions to address weaknesses in
engineering performance at the Crystal River plant.

     The meetings will be rescheduled for a later date and the NRC will issue a news
release announcing the new date and time for each meeting.
