.LUJG 3 1 1990
This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by a NRC Inspection
Team on July 30 through August 3, 1990, of activities at the Palisades Site
authorized by NRC Operating License DPR-20 and to the discussion of our
findings with Mr. D. Joos and others of Your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
The enclosed 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.
The purpose of this inspection was to determine the adequacy of your
evaluations performed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, Section 59 with primary
emphasis on those performed in support of the Steam Generator Replacement
Project (SGRP).
The inspection determined that the engineering supporting the SGRP was
generally quite thorough.
Some deficiencies were identified in the 10 CFR
50.59 evaluation with our primary concern being your failure to identify when
the Technical Specification changes associat~d with the SGRP were required.
This is discussed in Paragraph 3.m of the attached inspection report.
We are
continuing to review the temporary containment opening and will pfovide
further assessment of this issue in future correspondence.
While no
violations were identified during this inspection, we do request that you
respond within 30 days of the date of this letter to the open items identified
in the attached inspection report.
'
In accordanc~ with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter ~re not subject to the cl*earance
procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511 .
