Palisades FSAR Revision 28 List of Changes08-019 FSAR Section 12.1.1 This corrects the referenced figure in Section 12.1.1, which should be "Figure 12-2" rather than "Figure 2-2".

This FSAR change corrects the classification of the containment hydrogen monitors, which should be Category 3 rather than Category 1.

This updates diesel generator sequence start information in the FSAR tables to reflect revision of diesel generator 08-022 FSAR Tables 8-6 and 8-7 loading calculation EA-ELEC-LDTAB-05, "Emergency Diesel Generators 1-1 and 1-2 Steady State Loadings."

The nameplate horsepower for miscellaneous loads and references to the calculation are updated in the tables.08-023 FSAR Table 8-3 FSAR Table 8-3 is revised to list the correct 2400V system breaker MVA ratings. The breakers were previously installed under Functionally Equivalent Substitution 99-012.08-024 FSAR Section 5.5.1.1.6 This adds a discussion27of a tornado missile barrier installed to protect the condensate storage tank under EgneigCag Engineering Change 7237.

FSAR Sections 9.11 and 14.19.1 and The FSAR is revised to include a discussion of the spent fuel pool dilution analysis of record (EA-WJB-00-01,08-025 Section 9 and 14.19 references "Spent Fuel Pool Dilution Analysis") that was used in support of Technical Specification Amendment 207 (ref:

Condition Report CR-PLP-2008-03263).

FSAR Table 11-15, "Process Radiation Service and Equipment," is updated to reflect replacement of an analog radiation monitor with a digital radiation monitor under Engineering Change 5000122451.

Revise FSAR Sections 4.7.1 and This FSAR change reflects the permanent disabling of a containment sump level indicating alarm under 6.1.2.2 Engineering Change 6553.

This change revises FSAR to reflect that the fuel manufacturer provided recommendations on bounding allowable power escalation rates and that these recommendations have been incorporated into plant operating procedures, with some additional built-in conservatism. The FSAR previously said that the power escalation rates are determined for each individual fuel cycle.09-003 FSAR Table 5.2-1 FSAR Adna Table 5.2-1 is revised to correct the ASME Section Xl code year from 1989 to 2001 Edition with 2003 Addenda.09-005 FSAR Tables 9-1 and 10-3 The FSAR is revised to reflect replacement of the turbine generator seal oil skid under Engineering Change 8490.

FSAR Sections 9.4.1 and 9.11.3 are revised to reflect the portion of spent fuel pool cooling that extends above the spent fuel pool deck (649' elevation). Engineering analysis EA-PSA-TORNADO-08-02 determined that failure of 09-008 FSAR Sections 9.4. and 9.11.3 the piping due to a missile generated by high winds or a tornado would result in only a limited loss of spent fuel pool inventory and would not adversely impact cooling and shielding provided by the spent fuel pool cooling system.

These changes incorporate additional references to Palisades' NUREG-0612 submittals and add a brief 09-021 FSAR Sections 1.8.11 and 9.11.4.3.11 discussion of Palisades' reactor vessel head drop analysis. These FSAR sections are revised per NEI 08-05, "Industry Initiative of Control of Heavy Loads."

This change revises FSAR Section 9.11.3.5.1 to state that the new fuel elevator override key shall not be issued when the movement of irradiated fuel is in progress. This FSAR section previously said that the keys are only 09-023 FSAR Section 9.11.3.5.1 issued when moving non-irradiated fuel, but there are other times when the keys need to be issued, such as during fuel elevator maintenance, that do not involve the movement of non-irradiated fuel. This FSAR revision reflects these other instances in which the override key needs to be issued.

This revises the number of steam generator tubes plugged in FSAR Table 4-4 to reflect the tubes that were plugged during the 2009 refueling outage.09-027 FSAR Table 8-5 FSAR Table 8-5 is revised to correct discrepancies concerning DC bus short circuit ratings and to add equipment identification numbers (Engineering Change 15265).
