SUBJECT:
PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT - REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Vitale:
In a telephone conversation on January 22, 2014, Mr. D. Karne, Licensed Operator Requalification Lead, and Mr. M. Morris, Lead Inspector, made arrangements for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the Licensed Operator Requalification Program at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of April 7, 2014, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle.
The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved Requalification Program.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations, and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by March 31, 2014. Mr. D. Karne has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
