NMC-Committed to Nuclear Excellence Palisades Nuclear Plant Operated by Nuclear Management Company, LLC July 24, 2002 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 DOCKET 50-255 - LICENSE DPR PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT RESOLUTION OF GENERIC LETTER 96-06 WATERHAMMER ISSUES (TAC NO. M96844)
By letter dated April 24, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) forwarded to the Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) their acceptance of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report TR-1 13594, "Resolution of Generic Letter [GL] 96-06 Waterhammer Issues," Volumes 1 and 2. The letter contained a request for NMC to complete actions to address GL 96-06 for the Palisades Plant and submit the information referred to in Section 3.3 of the attached NRC safety evaluation by July 30, 2002.
NMC requests an extension to February 28, 2003, to provide the requested information.
NMC has reviewed the EPRI report and determined that the scope of the analysis effort to complete all outstanding issues related to GL 96-06 will require the requested extension.
By letter dated January 16, 2001, NMC (then Consumers Energy Company) provided commitments to address the schedule for completion of all GL 96-06 actions.
Accordingly, these commitments are restated, and revised where appropriate, to reflect the requested extension.
