UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Docket No. 50-255 Mr. Kenneth W. Berry Director, Nuclear Licensing Consumers Power Company 1945 West Parnall Road Jackson, Michigan 49201
Dear Mr. Berry:
July 17, 1990
SUBJECT:
PROGRAMMED ENHANCEMENTS FOR GENERIC LETTER 88-17, "LOSS OF DECAY HEAT REMOVAL".FOR PALISADES PLANT (TAC NO. 69761)
The NRC staff has completed its review of all licensee responses regarding programmed enhancements as defined in Generic Letter (GL) 88-17, "Loss of Decay Heat Removal."
The NRC staff review was based on a sampling of about one-third of all responses. Since the sample did not result in significant comments; the remainder of the responses wi.11 Mt be reviewed by NRR.
NRC review of this phase of GL 88-17 will be accomplished as an inspection ur1der Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/103 in the NRC Inspection Manual.
The inspection will take place after you have made sufficient progress for NRC to make a full assessment of your programmed enhancements. This letter constitutes the NRR report stated in paragraph 05.01 as a prerequisite to the inspection under TI 2515/103.
As for your implementation schedule, you indicate that the Loop 2 level indicator will be completed by the end of the 1990 refueling outage. Since this is the end of the first refueling outage that is initiated 18 months or later following your receipt of GL 88-17, your schedule is consistent with the GL and is acceptable. Also, with the exception of a final TS change request you ir1dicate that programmed enhancements that do not depend on hardware changes would be implemented on or before May 1990. This also is acceptable.
Additionally, you are requested to inform the NRC in writing of any significant changes in the estimated completion schedule identified above.
You are also requested to inform the NRC in writing when the action has actually been implemented and the modifications are determined to be operational.
This request is covered by Office of Management and Budget Clearance Number 3150-0011, which expires January 31, 1991. The estimated average burden-hours is 4 person-hours per owner response, including searching data sources, gathering and analyzing the data, and preparing the letter. These estimated average burden-hours pertain only to the identified response-related matters and do not include the time for actual implementation of the requested action.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to
I the Information and Records Management Branch, Division of Information Support Services, Office of Information Resources Management, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555; and to the Paperwork Reduction Project (3150-0011), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 20503.
