SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL HELD ON OCTOBER 14, 2009, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC. REGARDING PROGRESS ON NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (I\\lFPA) STANDARD 805 TRANSITION ACTIVITIES A teleconference was held between representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to discuss progress on the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 transition activities. ENO submitted "Palisades NFPA 805 Project Milestones" table (see Enclosure 1) which provides the list of NFPA 805 transition activities and their status. The licensee reported that there has been significant increase in the work scope. As a result, the milestone date for completion of some of the tasks is shown to be later than the final license amendment request date of March 31, 2010. The licensee obtained additional resources for the project but has not completed development of a schedule. Enclosure 2 provides the list of all attendees.

Background

On December 9, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML083260577), NRC staff granted additional enforcement discretion to Palisades. ENO in its letter dated November 25, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML083370155) made a commitment to conduct a monthly teleconference with the NRC staff to discuss progress on the PNP NFPA 805 transition activities.
