During the meeting, Palisades SFP layout and historical background of the current issue with SFP racks and SFP criticality was discussed between the licensee and the NRC staff. The licensee presented their proposed plan for resolving Palisades SFP criticality issue, consisting of two phases. In the first phase, licensee plans to submit a license amendment request (LAR) to re-establish compliance with their Technical Specifications and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.68. This submittal will be particularly straight forward and conservative to facilitate an expeditious review and approval by the NRC. During the meeting the NRC staff stressed the importance of a high quality clearly articulated submittal in order to provide the best opportunity to meet the licensee's scheduled refueling outage. In the second phase, a more rigorous analysis incorporating appropriate surveillance requirements will be incorporated into a LAR to be submitted by the licensee in 2009. The second phase LAR will include a more complex analysis that removes excess conservatism intended to facilitate the review of the first, and restores as much SFP storage capacity as is practical.

SUMMARY

OF THE SEPTEMBER 16, 2008, PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH Et"HERGY NUCLEAR OPERATIONS, INC REGLARDING SPENT FUEL CRITICALITY AMENDMENT (TAC NO. MD9561)

On September 16,2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a Category 1 public meeting with representatives of Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, MD. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss future license amendment request which Entergy plans to submit for resolution of Spent Fuel Pool (SFP)

Criticality issue for Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP). A list of attendees is provided as . The licensee's handout material has been docketed and is publicly available at Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML082610237.

During the meeting, Palisades SFP layout and historical background of the current issue with SFP racks and SFP criticality was discussed between the licensee and the NRC staff. The licensee presented their proposed plan for resolving Palisades SFP criticality issue, consisting of two phases.

In the first phase, licensee plans to submit a license amendment request (LAR) to re-establish compliance with their Technical Specifications and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.68. This submittal will be particularly straight forward and conservative to facilitate an expeditious review and approval by the NRC. During the meeting the NRC staff stressed the importance of a high quality clearly articulated submittal in order to provide the best opportunity to meet the licensee's scheduled refueling outage.

In the second phase, a more rigorous analysis incorporating appropriate surveillance requirements will be incorporated into a LAR to be submitted by the licensee in 2009. The second phase LAR will include a more complex analysis that removes excess conservatism intended to facilitate the review of the first, and restores as much SFP storage capacity as is practical.

-2 There were not any members of the public present at the meeting. No comments or feedback was received at this time. Please direct any inquiries to Mr. Mahesh Chawla, NRC Project Manager for PNP, at 301-415-8371, or @ Mahesh.chawla@nrc.gov.
