D. Simulator and Training Buildings
At some point, the NRC and FPL’s management held various
management and enforcement conferences concerning Turkey Point.40
In February 1984, FPL presented a performance enhancement program
for Turkey Point to the NRC.41 Part of the performance
enhancement program was to establish on-site training facilities
and to obtain plant reference simulators. FPL claims ITCs for
the simulator and training buildings in the 1988, 1989, and 1990
taxable years.
On July 13, 1984, the NRC sent a letter to FPL, which states
in part:
Based on recent NRC inspection activities and the
enforcement history of the Turkey Point Facility, we
conclude that * * * [FPL] has not given sufficient
management attention to ensuring adherence to
regulatory requirements. * * *
The NRC included a confirmatory order with the letter, which
states in part:
40 Thomas J. DePlonty, FPL’s project manager, testified that
during this period Turkey Point was placed on a “watch list” and
was considered one of the 10 worst nuclear plants operating at
that time.
41 The performance enhancement program stated: “This
document is specific to Turkey Point Plant however, where
appropriate, the results and lessons learned will be applied to
the St. Lucie Plant.”
