August 31, 2006 Mr. Paul A. Harden Site Vice President Nuclear Management Company, LLC Palisades Nuclear Plant 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043-9530
SUBJECT:
MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -
PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT
Dear Mr. Harden:
On August 7, 2006, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Palisades Nuclear Plant for the first half of the calendar year 2006 assessment cycle. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results over the previous 12 months. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as Exempt from Public Disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response column of the NRCs Action Matrix. This conclusion is based on the fact that the first submittal of Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI) result for High Pressure Safety Injection was White during the second quarter of CY 2006.
We plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. Also, based on the one White performance indicator in the mitigating systems cornerstone, we plan to conduct a supplemental inspection using Inspection Procedure 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection scheduled through March 31, 2008. We plan on conducting a triennial fire protection inspection, a component design basis inspection, and inspections associated with the potential for containment sump blockage. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite.
Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.
P. Harden In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Christine Lipa at 630/829-9619 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
