October 12, 1995 Mr. T. Palmisano, General Manager Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043-9530
SUBJECT:
PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - PALISADES
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
On September 6, 1995, NRC Region III management and staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant. The Region conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance.
The results are used by regional management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources.
The PPR for Palisades involved the participation of all Region III technical divisions as well as responsible NRR staff, in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period from March 1995 through August 1995.
PPRs provide regional management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews*.
This l~tter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Palisades PPR review. The information is provided to enable appropriate consideration of the resource impact on your staff, and to permit scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues to be resolved in advance of ins~ector arrival onsite.
The enclosure details our inspection plan for approximately the next 6 months.
The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the "Core inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas.
Resident inspections, as well as periodic inspections by other assigned members of our site focus group, may occur at any time in support of the Core inspection program.
We are interested in feedback on this program, including the need for any changes in the inspection plan, and we invite your questions or comments.
If changes are necessary, you wi 11 be informed.*. If you have any questions or comments, please contact W. J. Kropp at 708-829-9633.
