Reference:
Nuclear Management Company, LLC, letter dated August 25, 2005, "Supplementary Information for the Palisades Application for Renewed Operating License Resulting from Aging Management Programs Audit."
Dear Sir or Madam:
In the referenced letter, Nuclear Management Company, LLC, (NMC) the former licensee of Palisades Nuclear Plant, made a commitment related to Palisades' Reactor Vessel lnternals Program as part of license renewal efforts. The commitment included a plan to submit by March 24, 2009, a revised aging management program for the reactor internals that incorporates industry initiatives and guidance.
One such industry guidance document, the Electric Power Research Institute Material Reliability Program (EPRIIMRP) document, MRP-227-Rev. 0, "Pressurized Water Reactor lnternals Inspection and Evaluation Guidelines," was issued in December 2008. These guidelines provide a standardized approach for the internals program based on the most recent industry research and modeling techniques concerning the behavior of the internals materials following exposure to the neutron fields associated with the reactor core.
In order to provide sufficient time to develop an aging management program for the reactor internals based on current industry initiatives and guidance, including the recently issued industry EPRIIMRP guidelines, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) is changing the commitment for the submittal of the revised Reactor Vessel lnternals Program to March 24, 2010.
