Dear Mr. Arnone:

This letter acknowledges your letter sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),

dated January 29, 2018, that provided a response to our Inspection Report issued on

December 29, 2017, concerning activities conducted at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. The

letter we received contested a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) documented in Palisades Inspection

We are currently reviewing your basis for contesting the above NCV. The NRC seeks to be

thorough and timely in the review of licensee responses. Accordingly, we will inform you as

soon as we complete our evaluation.

This letter will be made available for public inspection and copying at
