September 28, 2006 Mr. Paul A. Harden Site Vice President Nuclear Management Company, LLC 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043-9530

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT (SER) RELATED TO THE LICENSE RENEWAL OF PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Harden:

By letter dated March 22, 2005, Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) submitted, for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) review, an application pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating license for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) for an additional 20 years. The NRC determined that the License Renewal Application (LRA) was complete and acceptable for docketing on June 8, 2005. Since that time, the NRC staff has reviewed the PNP LRA, issued requests for additional information (RAIs), reviewed the applicants responses to the staffs RAIs, developed an initial safety evaluation report (SER) dated June 1, 2006, and reviewed the applicants comments on the initial SER. On the basis of this review, the staff has developed the enclosed SER to document its finding associated with the safety review of the LRA and supporting documentation for the Palisades Nuclear Plant.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Project Manager, Juan Ayala at (301) 415-4063 or by e-mail at JXA3@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Frank P. Gillespie, Division Director Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-255
