February 20, 2009 Mr. Christopher J. Schwarz Vice President, Operations Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
Palisades Nuclear Plant 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043-9530 CAL. No.RIII-08-003
SUBJECT:
CLOSURE OF CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER CAL RIII-08-003
Dear Mr. Schwarz:
On September 18, 2008, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) RIII-08-003 to Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) to confirm your commitments regarding spent fuel pool Region I storage racks containing less neutron absorber than assumed in the spent fuel pool (SFP) criticality analysis of record. The actions confirmed in the CAL were designed to ensure that the SFP had sufficient criticality margin maintained until compliance with Palisades Nuclear Plant Technical Specification (TS) 4.3.1.1.b and 10 CFR 50.68 Criticality Accident Requirements was restored.
Subsequent to the issuance of the CAL, the NRC performed a number of inspections to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of your actions to address the four commitments associated with the CAL. The NRCs review of these commitments is documented in Inspection Report 05000255/2008005 (ML090400437).
A license amendment revising the TSs associated with the SFP was approved on February 6, 2009. By letter dated February 11, 2009, you informed the NRC that ENO had completed the actions and commitments associated with the CAL and that the amended TSs had been implemented. Subsequent NRC inspection of your implementation of the amendment identified several issues regarding procedures and training. Specifically, the inspectors identified that procedures needed to support implementation of the amended TSs had not been revised nor had training to licensed personnel on the revised requirements been provided. Based on our concerns, your staff implemented actions that addressed these items. By a letter dated February 20, 2009, you provided detailed information on your actions to ensure that the revised TS was adequately implemented.
Based upon the additional information provided, NRC inspections, and our assessment of the results of your actions, we have concluded that you have reestablished compliance with your license requirements for the spent fuel pool. Effective February 20, 2009, as discussed in a telephone call between you and Anne Boland, NRC RIII Division of Reactor Projects Acting Deputy Director, all commitments and actions documented in CAL RIII-08-003, dated September 18, 2008, are closed.
C. Schwarz Notwithstanding the closure of the CAL, the NRC will evaluate the issues of the SFP Region 1 fuel rack degradation and implementation of the amended TSs in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process and provide our conclusions via separate correspondence.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS),
accessible from the NRC Web Site at http://ww.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
