consumers Power company General Offices: 212 West Michigan Avenue, Jackson, Michigan 49201 * (517) 788-0550 May 15, 1981 Director, Nuclear Reactor Regulation Att Mr D~~nis M Crutchfield, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No 5 US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 DOCKET 50-255 - LICENSE DPR PALISADES PLANT - CONTROL OF HEAVY LOADS NRCletters dated December 22, 1980 and February 3, 1981 requested Consumers Power Company to revi,ew our controls of the h_andling of heavy loads to deter-mine the extent to which the guidelines of NUREG 0612, Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants, are presently satisfied and to identify the changes and modifications that would be required in order to fUlly satisfy these guide-lines. Enclosure 2 oft.he December 22, 1980 letter gave five interim action items that required implementation by May 15, 1981 per NRC letter dated Febru-ary 3, 1981.

At the present time CPCo is continuing with review and modification proce$s to implement the five interim action items. The results of this review to date indicate the Palisades Plant meets the intent of the interim actions, (Palisades Technical Specification 3;21 provides some control for the movement of heavy loads)," however, total implementation 6f these required actions will be achieved between the date of this letter and the start of our .1981 ref~eling,

  • presently scheduled for August 8,
  • 1981. In the interim, until these five actions are iciplem~nted*, Palisades .;;iil admf~istrati~ely .co~troi the u.se of all overhead -

handling systems to preclude movement of "Heavy Loads", as defined in Section 1. 2 of NUREG 0612, unless the interim actions for the particular case~ _in question are met.
