SUBJECT:
NRC PALISADES EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE INSPECTION
. REPORT 50-255/98021 (DRS)
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
On December 4, 1998, the NRC completed an inspection of your emergency preparedness
biennial exercise at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. The purpose of this inspection was to
evaluate the performance of your emergency response organization during the exercise. The
enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.**
A.reas examined within your emergency preparedness exercise performance are identified in
the report. Within those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of
procedures and representative records, observation of performance, and interviews with staff.
The objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether the Palisades Emergency Plan
was adequate and station personnel'were capable of implementing the Palisades Emergency
Plan in accordance with NRC requirements. Based on the results of this inspection, no *
- violations of NRC requirements were identified.
Overall performance during the 1998 Emergency Preparedness exercise was very good and
demonstrated that your emergency plan implementation activities met regulatory requirements.
The performance of the staffs in the Control Room Simulator, Technical Support Center,
Operations Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility contributed to safety by taking
appropriate actions to mitigate the simulated accident and protect the public. They met the
exercise objectives while complying with emergency plan and regulatory requirements. Staff
and management effectively conducted post-exercise critiques.
