March 22, 1996 Mr. T. Palmisano, General Manager Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, Ml 49043-9530
SUBJECT:
PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - PALISADES
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
On March 4, 1996, NRC Region Ill management and staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Palisades.
The Region conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance.
The results are used by regional management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources.
The PPR for Palisades involved the participation of all Region III technical divisions as well as responsible NRR staff, in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period from September 1995 through February 1996.
PPRs provide regional management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance.(SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews.
This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Palisades PPR review. The information is provided to enable appropriate consideration of the resource impact on your staff, and to permit scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. The enclosure details our inspection plan for approximately the next 6 months.
The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the "Core" inspecti~n program is provided so that you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas. Resident inspections, as well as periodic inspections by other assigned members of our site focus group, may occur at any time in support of the Core inspection program.
