Docket No. 50-255
EA 85-133
Consumers Power Company
ATTN: Mr. R. B. DeWitt
Vice President
Nuclear Operations
.212 West Michigan Avenue
Jackson, MI 49201
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Messrs. E. R. Swanson,
B. L. Jorgensen, J. K. Heller, D. L. Williams, Ms. M. L. McCormick-Barger
and Miss C. D. Anderson of this office during the period of October 16 through
November 18, 1985, at the Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant authorized by
NRC Provisional Operating License No. DPR-20 and to the discussion of our
findings with Mr. J. F. Firlit and others of your staff at the conclusion of
the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and-
interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Appendix.
A written response
is required.
Other activities for which no violation has been issued are also
of concern as outlined in Paragraph 3.g of the enclosed report.
It is requested
that your response address these concerns, and as appropriate include an outline
and a schedule for the corrective actions which will prevent recurrence.
This
event and the situation of both Senior Reactor Operators being absent from the
control room at the same time have similarly raised concern over operator
performance.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosures (s)
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter (and accompanying Notice) are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
