SUBJECT:
NRC EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION REPORT
50-255/98016(DRS)
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
On August 14, 1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Generating
Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The inspection examined
activities conducted under your emergency preparedness program.
Areas examined within your emergency preparedness program are identified in the report.
Within those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress. The
objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether activities authorized by the .license
were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified.
During this inspection our evaluation of your activities showed the emergency preparedness
program to be effectively implemented. In particular, emergency response facilities, equipment,
and supplies had been well-maintained, management attention to the program was indicated,
and interviewed emergency response personnel demonstrated competent knowledge of
responsibilities and emergency procedures. The inspection also identified that your approved
staffing commitments were not consistent with regulatory guidance, and we understand that
your staff is evaluating this issue.
In accordance with .10 CFR 2. 790 of the NRC's "Rules and Practice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
