SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL HELD ON DECEMBER 16, 2010, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC. REGARDING PROGRESS ON NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) 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 enclosure provides the status of each task and shows several tasks as complete. The licensee reported that Palisades NFPA 805 project is delayed and the new completion date is May 27,2011. The licensee is bringing additional resources to support this date and will also incorporate comments from independent Probabilistic Risk Assessment reviews and any lessons learned from Oconee Safety Evaluation Report.

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.

Comments:

Task 1 - essentially complete awaiting Oconee RAI closures and the Oconee SER to acquire any possible lessons learned.

Task 2 - in final comment resolution and is also awaiting Oconee RAI closures and is being held open pending the Oconee SER to acquire any possible lessons learned.

Task 4 - Completion extended due to incorporation of comments from independent PRA review associated with cable circuit analysis, fire risk evaluations, and evaluation of variances from deterministic requirements.

Task 5 - essentiallycomplete pendinglessonslearnedfrom the OconeeSER submittal.

Task 7 - Completion extendeddue to extensionof Subtasks7.14 & 7.15 based on alignmentwith Task 4 extension.

Tasks 8 & 10 - Task 7 is pushingout Task 8 & 10 as the Fire Risk Evaluations (FRE's) & TransitionReport(TR) can not be completed until the Deterministic Fire PRA is complete.

Task 11 - The new Palisades' NFPA805 LAR submittaldate is 5/27/11 Additionalresourceshave been obtainedto support this date.
