SUBJECT:
PALISADES PLANT - SAFETY EVALUATION ON THE SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF HIGH THERMAL PERFORMANCE FUEL DESIGN (TAC NO. M75590)
A commitment from the NRC's Systematic Evaluation Program was to evaluate the Palisades fuel design for seismic adequacy.
This evaluation was performed in conjunction with the development of an advanced high thermal performance fuel design for the Palisades Plant. Consumers Power Company (CPC) letter dated November 7, 1989, provides the methods, models, assumptions, and results-of,,
the associated analyses.
NRC staff and contractor review resulted in the * --.............
