NRC SCHEDULES SPECIAL INSPECTION EXIT MEETING AT ST. LUCIE
PLANT; NRC ALSO SCHEDULES ST. LUCIE CORRECTIVE ACTION MEETING
IN ATLANTA


     Members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with
representatives of Florida Power & Light Co. (FPL) Friday (November 1) to discuss
preliminary results of a special inspection of the St. Lucie plant's emergency
preparedness program.  

     The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. in Room 123 of the plant's Nuclear Training
Center on Hutchinson Island and will be open to the public for observation.

     NRC conducted the three-week inspection after the agency received concerns
related to the plant's emergency preparedness program.  Findings discussed at Friday's
meeting - including any apparent violations and whatever enforcement action, if any, is
warranted - are subject to further review by NRC management.  Final findings will be
documented in an inspection report expected to be issued in about 30 days.

     Another NRC meeting involving the St. Lucie plant is scheduled to be held in
the NRC's Region II office at 101 Marietta Street in Atlanta Tuesday, November 12
from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  The purpose of that meeting is to discuss the status of
FPL's Corrective Action Program at the St. Lucie plant.  That meeting is also open to
the public for observation.
