SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-255/96016(DRS)
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. D. Jones of this office on
November 19-21, and December 16, 1996.
The inspection included a review of
authorized activities for your Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant.
The focus
of this inspection was on your inservice inspection efforts.*
The inspector considered the IS1 plan particularly well organized and
documented.
The use of "state of the art" equipment to perform eddy current
examinations for the Inservice Inspection Program demonstrated an important
element of a quality program.
The steam generator eddy current inspection
program was conservative with a positive management oversight.
In addition,
the Engineering Department's planning and implementation of the Alloy 600
project was observed to be positive.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures,
representative records and interviews with personnel.
For the areas
inspected, NRC and ASME Code requirements were met and no violations or
deviations were identified.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
In accordance with
10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room .
