FACILITIES: Palisades Nuclear Plant

SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL HELD ON JUNE 30, 2009, BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INC. REGARDING PROGRESS ON NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 805 TRANSITION ACTIVITIES A teleconference was held between representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to discuss progress on the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 805 transition activities. ENO submitted "Palisades NFPA 805 Project Milestones" table (see enclosure 1) which provides the list of NFPA 805 transition activities and their status. The licensee stated that all the tasks are on track and at present there are no significant barriers and no scope additions. Based on the progress of the transition so far, the NRC staff has decided to temporarily scale back on these teleconferences from monthly to every two months. However, if the need arises to go back to monthly teleconferences, the licensee will be duly informed. The licensee was in agreement with this approach to monitor the progress. Enclosure 2 provides the list of all attendees.

Background

On December 9, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession Number ML083260577), NRC staff granted additional enforcement discretion to Palisades. ENO in its letter dated November 25, 2008 (ADAMS Accession Number ML083370155) made a commitment to conduct monthly teleconference with the NRC staff to discuss progress on the Palisades Nuclear Plant NFPA 805 transition activities.

Sincerely, Mahesh Chawla, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch 111-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-255
