Plant General Manager
Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant
27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway
Covert, MI 49043
Gentlemen:
This refers to the engineering team inspection conducted by Messrs. J. M.
Jacobson, J. A. Gavula and others of this office on September 19, 1990,
through April 18, 1991, of activities at the Palisades Nuclear Generating
Plant authorized by NRC Operating License No. DPR-20 and to the discussion of
our findings with Mr. D. P. Hoffman and others at the conclusion of the
inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection.
The focus of this inspection was directed toward activities
related to the Steam Generator Replacement Project. Areas inspected include
design engineering, field implementation, and testing. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and
representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements.
Multiple examples of apparent violations were identified
in the areas of design control, corrective actions and following procedures.
This inspection has again raised significant concerns in the area of design
control for the Palisades plant.
As I discussed with Mr. D. Hoffman, the NRC
has decided to conduct an additional inspection at Palisades in order to
better characterize these concerns.
As a result, no Notice of Violation is
being issued for the inspection findings in this report.You will be notified
at a l~ter data r~garding our decision on the findings of this inspection.
No
written response is required until you are so notified of our decision.
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 .
