Director, NRR Palisades Plant RESPONSE TO ENVIRON REVIEW fOR LICENSE CONVERSION September 14, 1984
Response
2 Dilution pumping has not been eliminated at Palisades and has in fact been maximized, therefore intake volume from the lake has not decreased.
Question 291.4 In the 1978 final addendum to the Palisades FES Section 10.1.5.4 the staff recommended that the applicant inspect for leakage in the water distribution channels and all other sources of additional drift and larger drops (of water) and report to the staff all repairs undertaken to correct leaks in the water distribution system and all other sources of additional drift. Please provide the results of these inspections and repairs.
Response
The recommended inspection of the Palisades cooling towers was performed and has been repeated during each refueling outage since 1978.
As a result of these inspections, repairs have been completed on approximately eight cells.
The need for additional repairs has been identified, and the repairs will be completed during the next (Cycle 7) refueling outage.
