SUBJECT:
PALISADES PLANT - REVIEW OF PALISADES CONTAINMENT TWENTIETH YEAR TENDON SURVEILLANCE REPORT (TAC NO. M84017)
Dear Mr. Fenech:
By letter dated June 16, 1992, as supplemented by information contained in letters dated February 7 and September 8, 1994, you submitted for staff review a report on the results for the twentieth year physical surveillance of the Palisades Plant containment building post-tensioning system.
In accordance with the plant technical specifications (TS), you are required.to perform periodic tendon surveillances. The surveillance was performed in accordance with the procedure contained in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.35, Revision 3.
On the basis of the results of the twentieth year surveillance and inspection of the various elements of the system as compared to the criteria established in the TS and in RG 1.35, Revision 3, you concluded that no abnormal degradation has occurred in the post-tensioning system used in the Palisades containment.
The staff concurs with this conclusion that the Palisades
.. containment building has experienced no abnormal degradation of the post-tensioning system.
However, you should use all the available data and perform an adequate regression analysis, as discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation, both before and after the 1997 scheduled surveillance.
This completes our review, if you have ahy questions regarding this subject, please contact Marsha Gamberoni at {301) 504-3024.
