Gentlemen:
This refers to the special plant readiness team inspection conducted
by Messrs. W. Guldemond, H. A. Walker, S. A. Reynolds, A. Dunlop and
Miss C. D. Anderson of this office during the period of December 16, 1986,
through February 13, 1987, of activities 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 at the conclusion of the
inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to determine whether the
licensee had made sufficient progress in improving the material condition
of the Palisades facility and solving design issues to support restart and
whether adequate assurances had been provided that an acceptable level of
material condition would be maintained to support continued safe and reliable
operation.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report with its three attachments
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.
It was the conclusion of the inspection team that upon completion of
outstanding prestart commitments, the material condition of the plant would
be adequate to support plant restart.
Further adequate commitments have
been made to reasonably traintain an acceptable level of material condition
to support continued safe and reliable plant operation.
