Subject:
Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) Changes Palisades Nuclear Plant Docket 50-255 License No. DPR-20
Dear Sir or Madam:
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section V1.3, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc (ENO) is submitting this letter to provide notification of changes to the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) emergency response data system (ERDS) link software scheduled to be implemented in the second quarter, 2011. Notification is required 30 days prior to any hardware or software changes that could affect the transmission format or computer communication protocol to the ERDS.
These changes will involve a conversion from a dial-up modem-based system to a more reliable intemet-based system using a plant information server and NRC-supplied virtual private network (VPN) appliance. The NRC ERDS Resource desk was notified of this change via email on April 20, 2011.
During implementation of this change, the existing ERDS link will remain available and will not affect the plant's ability to activate the existing ERDS link, if required.
This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
