ERRATA TO PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2005012

Dear Mr. Harden:

On January 25, 2005, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued integrated Inspection Report 05000255/2005012 (ML060300256). Several paragraphs were inadvertently omitted from the original report. The enclosed errata contains the missing information and should be inserted where appropriate into Integrated Inspection Report 05000255/2005012.

We apologize for any inconvenience to you and your staff.

Sincerely,

/RA/

4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification (71151)

Cornerstones: Occupational and Public Radiation Safety

.1 Radiation Safety Strategic Area a. Inspection Scope The inspectors sampled the licensees Performance Indicator (PI) submittals for the periods listed below. The inspectors used PI definitions and guidance contained in Revision 3 of Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, to verify the accuracy of the PI data. The following PIs were reviewed:

• Occupational Exposure Control Effectiveness:

The inspectors reviewed the licensees assessment of the PI for occupational radiation safety, to determine if indicator related data was adequately assessed and reported during the previous four quarters. The inspectors compared the licensees PI data with the condition report database, reviewed radiological restricted area exit electronic dosimetry transaction records, and conducted walkdowns of accessible locked high radiation area entrances to verify the adequacy of controls in place for these areas. Data collection and analysis methods for PIs were discussed with licensee representatives to determine if there were any unaccounted for occurrences in the Occupational Radiation Safety PI as defined in Revision 3 of Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline. This sample was credited in Integrated Report 50-255/2005-006.

• Radiological Environmental Technical Specification/Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (RETS/ODCM) Radiological Effluent Occurrences:

The inspectors reviewed data associated with the RETS/ODCM PI to determine if the indicator was accurately assessed and reported. This review included the licensees condition report database for the previous four quarters, to identify any potential occurrences such as unmonitored, uncontrolled or improperly calculated effluent releases that may have impacted offsite dose. The inspectors also selectively reviewed gaseous and liquid effluent release data and the results of associated offsite dose calculations and quarterly PI verification records generated over the previous four quarters. Data collection and analyses methods for PIs were discussed with licensee representatives to determine if the process was implemented consistent with industry guidance in Revision 3 of Nuclear Energy Institute Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline. This review represented one sample.

b. Findings No findings of significance were identified.
