Palisades Nuclear Plant Committed to Nuclear Operated by Nuclear Management Company, LLC October 22, 2004 10 CFR 50, Appendix E U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Palisades Nuclear Plant Docket 50-255 License No. DPR-20 Revision to Emergency Action Levels Nuclear Management Company, LLC, (NMC) is transmitting for NRC review and approval, revisions to the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) emergency action levels (EALs). This revision implements new EALs based on NEI 99-01, Revision 4, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," using the guidance of Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18, Supplement 1, "Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, 'Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,"'
dated July 13, 2004.
The enclosed security EALs are in compliance with NEI 99-01, Revision 4, but are not aligned with the "Order For Interim Safeguards and Security Compensatory Measures for - Palisades Plant," dated February 25, 2002. The PNP response to that Order is dated September 5, 2002. The NRC has indicated that additional security EALs are being developed for threat advisories. If revised security EALs are issued before the enclosed EALs are approved, NMC will provide a supplement to reflect the updated security EALs. NMC intends to remain in compliance with the security EALs in the September 2002 security Order response, as modified by the threat advisories, until the NRC approves new security EALs for PNP.
On July 23, 2004, PNP submitted "Request for Approval of Emergency Action Level Changes." The request was related to a modification that abandoned the failed fuel monitor in place, which affected the fission product barrier EAL. NMC requests that the letter dated July 23, 2004, be withdrawn. The enclosed EAL scheme includes EALs with site-specific methods for detection of failed fuel.
