SUBJECT:
Completion of Activities to Support Entry Into the Period of Extended Operation Palisades Nuclear Plant Docket 50-255 License No. DPR-20
Reference:
NUREG-1871, "Safety Evaluation Report Related to the License Renewal of Palisades Nuclear Plant"
Dear Sir or Madam:
The referenced document identifies the commitments that are required to be completed prior to Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) entering into the period of extended operation (PEO) on March 24,2011. License Condition 2.1 of the Renewed Facility Operating License states that Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) shall notify the NRC in writing when implementation of these activities is complete and can be verified by NRC inspection.
The purpose of this letter is to provide notification that ENO has completed implementation of these activities and they can be verified by NRC inspection.
This letter contains no new commitments. License renewal commitment #2, NUREG-1871, Appendix A, remains open. The open commitment is to submit an equivalent margins analysis, completed in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix G,
Document Control Desk Page 2 Section IV.A.1, for NRC approval, at least three years before any reactor vessel beltline material upper shelf energy decreases to less than 50 ft-Ib. Current analysis shows that the limiting reactor vessel beltline material upper shelf energy is predicted to drop below 50 ft-Ib in 2016.
Sincerely,
~~
