Dear Sir or Madam:
On April 15, 2008, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Amendment No. 232 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-20 for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML080730011).
The amendment incorporates TS changes based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved TS Task Force (TSTF)-497-A, Changes to Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a, Revision 0, as modified by NRC-approved TSTF-497, Limit Inservice Testing Program
[Surveillance Requirements] SR 3.0.2 Application to Frequencies of Two years or Less.
Specifically, the amendment revises Palisades Nuclear Plant TS Section 5.5.7, Inservice Testing Program, to update references to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers code and applicability of the provisions of SR 3.0.2.
Subsequently, the Amendment No. was inadvertently left off of License Page 3. Our revised License Page is enclosed with the Amendment No. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further concerns, please contact me at 301-415-8371.
Sincerely,
