Dear Jean Fleming:
By letter dated May 1, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML24122C666), Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI), on behalf of Holtec Palisades LLC, requested U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of a proposed license amendment for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) Site Emergency Plan. HDI proposes to revise the PNP Site Emergency Plan and emergency classification scheme to reflect the potential resumption of power operations at PNP.
The NRC staff is reviewing your submittal and has identified an area where additional information is needed to complete its review. A request for additional information (RAI) is attached. A draft RAI was sent to your staff on June 20, 2024, to ensure that it was understandable, the regulatory basis for the question was clear, and to determine whether the information was previously docketed. Based on a discussion with your staff, a clarification call was not necessary. A response from HDI to the attached RAI is requested within 45 days from the date of this email (i.e., by August 12, 2024).
Please note that this RAI is being provided in advance of other potential questions on the PNP Site Emergency Plan given the need to share this information with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Therefore, additional RAIs may be provided in the future regarding this review. The NRC staff considers timely responses to RAIs help to ensure sufficient time is available for staff review and contribute to the NRCs goal of efficient and effective use of staff resources. If circumstances result in the need to revise the requested response date, please contact me at (301) 415-3175 or marlayna.doell@nrc.gov. Thank you and I hope you have a great weekend!
- Cheers, Marlayna

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR THE SITE EMERGENCY PLAN HOLTEC DECOMMISSIONING INTERNATIONAL, LLC PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-255 By letter dated May 1, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML24122C666), Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI), on behalf of Holtec Palisades LLC, requested U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) approval of a proposed license amendment for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) Site Emergency Plan. HDI proposes to revise the PNP Site Emergency Plan and emergency classification scheme to reflect the potential resumption of power operations at PNP.
The following request for additional information (RAI) is needed to facilitate the technical review being conducted by the Division of Preparedness and Response, Reactor Licensing Branch staff. Timely and accurate response to this RAI is requested. In addition, please note that this RAI is being provided in advance of other potential questions on the PNP Site Emergency Plan given the need to share this information with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Therefore, additional RAIs may be provided in the future regarding this review.
Requirement:
10 CFR 50.47(b)(1) requires that (1) the primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee, as well as by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones, have been assigned, (2) the emergency responsibilities of the various supporting organizations have been specifically established, and (3) each principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.
Issue: Section II.A.1.a of Attachment 2, Proposed Palisades Nuclear Plant Power Operations Site Emergency Plan. of the HDI application, lists State and County Agencies.
However, the proposed license amendment does not provide documentation that the offsite response organization(s) has concurred with the proposed license amendment to transition from a decommissioned emergency plan to an operating reactor emergency plan to reflect the potential resumption of power operations at PNP.
Request: Please provide documentation from the respective offsite response organizations that have responsibilities for emergency response within the Emergency Planning Zones for PNP that describes their concurrence with the proposed transition to reflect the potential resumption of power operations at PNP.
