SUBJECT:
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SAFETY SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
This is to inform you that the NRC will perform a safety system functional inspection (SSFI) at the Palisades Nuclear Power Station.
We have chosen emergency core cooling systems as the focus for this SSFI, and will perform it using NRC Inspection Procedure 93801 "Safety System Functiorial Inspection (SSFI)."
The inspection's onsite activities are scheduled for the weeks of October 7 and October 21, 1996.
The details of this inspection, including the system chosen for the SSFI, were communicated to Mr. W. Roberts of your staff on August 14, 1996.
The inspection will assess design, operation, maintenance, surveillance, quality assurance, and corrective actions associated with the emergency core cooling systems, with a concentration on the design aspects.
To accomplish its objectives, the SSFI team will review a broad range of information and system activities.
In order to most effectively perform this task, the SSFI team will make a inspection preparation visit to the site the week of September 23, 1996, to allow badging of team members.
During this site visit, the team would also like to gather some information, as shown on the enclosed list. During this visit, the team would appreciate a short system overview presentation followed by a general plant tour, including the high pressure safety injection, low pressure safety injectfon, *and containment spray *systems.
