                                       - 20 -                                         
          (Nov. 19, 1980), contains general and specific requirements for             
          protecting electric cables from fire hazards.  The specific                 
          requirements section of appendix R provides detailed requirements           
          for “separation of cables and equipment” and “enclosure of cable            
          and equipment”.  In a letter dated October 11, 1985, FPL                    
          explained to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation that:                 
               [FPL] notified the NRC in late August 1985 concerning                  
               an additional scope of work identified relating to * *                 
               * Appendix R requirements at our Turkey Point Nuclear                  
               facility.                                                              
                    The additional scope of Appendix R work was                       
               identified as a result of an evaluation of the original                
               Appendix R Safe Shutdown analysis, and was completed in                
               September 1985.  In August 1985, based on preliminary                  
               results of the evaluation, FPL committed to provide a                  
               report detailing the additional scope of work and a                    
               proposed schedule for completion of the modifications.                 
               With respect to the St. Lucie plant, a 1984 BI No. 147 Rev.            
          2 budgeted $19 million to meet the requirements of appendix R and           
          was approved on February 21, 1984.  FPL revised this BI several             
          times to increase the budgeted amount to $26 million for the St.            
          Lucie plant.                                                                
               A 1984 BI No. 933 Rev. 3, approved on March 23, 1984,                  
          budgeted $45 million to “Upgrade the present fire protection                
          capabilities at Turkey Point Units #3 and #4 to meet * * *                  
          appendix ‘R’” requirements.  FPL revised this BI several times,             
          and the ultimate authorization was approved in August 1986 for              
          $87 million.
