Subject:

Palisades - LAR for Primary Coolant System Pressure-Temperature Limits - ME5806 - Request for Additional Information To verify that the acceptability of the proposed Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) pressure-temperature (P-T) limits in Attachment 1 to PNP 2011-016 License Amendment Request for Primary Coolant System Pressure-Temperature Limits, the NRC staff requests the following information:

RAI 1

By letter dated January 13, 2006, the applicant stated:

Palisades reactor vessel surveillance capsule W-280 is scheduled for removal following completion of the 19th operating cycle, which is estimated to occur in September 2007. Results of subsequent testing are required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix H to be reported within one year from the date of removal, so they would be available as input for revision of P-T limits and LTOP curves by September 2008. It is anticipated that the revised P-T limits and LTOP curves would be submitted to the NRC in 2010.... Therefore the test results from capsule W-280 would be used in the development of the new curves.

Explain why there is no mention of test results from capsule W-280 in the analysis of the P-T limits.

Please arrange a teleconference to discuss the above information. Thanks
