Gentlemen:
MAY 12 1987,
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by_Mr. J. Patterson
and others of this office 9n April 20-24, 1987 of activities at the Palisades
Nuclear Power Plant authoriz~d by License No. DPR-20 and to the discussion of
our findings with Mr. J. Lewis, Mr. W. Beckman, and others of your staff at
the conclusion of the inspection.
The encloseq copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection.
However, we are_concerned with your inability to demonstrate
through telephone call-in drills that enough personnel can respond to meet
the goals of shift augmentation as listed in Figure 5-6 of your Site Emergency
Plan.
Successful demonstration of shift augmentation cannot be delayed until
your planned telecomputer dialing system and other aids are operational.
As
listed in Section 5 of this report, we expect you to meet the commitment of
conducting Qne_call-in drill before July 1, 1987, with a secon9 drill
conducted ~ithin 90 days of the first.
Documentation and critique results
should be included for each drill for our review at a later date.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's_regulations, a copy
of this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the
NRC Public Document Room.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
