SUBJECT: PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT, REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC

TRIENNIAL BASELINE DESIGN BASES ASSURANCE INSPECTION (TEAM):

INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2017007.

Dear Mr. Arnone:

On October 30, 2017, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Triennial

Baseline Design Basis Assurance Inspection at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection

will be performed in accordance with NRC Baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.21M and

adjusted for the stations current plan to transition to decommissioning as allowed by Inspection

Manual Chapter 2515. The inspection samples to be reviewed during this inspection are

skewed toward decommissioning activities.

The Design Bases Assurance Inspection focuses on the design, maintenance, and operation of

risk significant components with low margin, or associated with an accident scenario, or a

specific system. The inspection also monitors the implementation of modifications to structures,

systems, and components as modifications to one system may also affect the design bases and

functioning of interfacing systems as well as introduce the potential for common cause failures.

The specific components and modifications to be reviewed during this baseline inspection will

be identified as part of the preparation for the inspection and finalized during the in-office

preparation week that occurs prior to the first onsite inspection week. In addition, operating

experience issues, associated with the component samples, will also be selected for review.

The inspection team may request scenarios to be performed on the simulator. This request

would require support from your simulator staff to validate scenarios, simulator time, and a crew

to perform the actions which would most likely occur during the second onsite week. The team

will work closely with your staff early on during the inspection process to ensure this activity can

be accomplished with minimal impact.

The inspection will include two weeks onsite. The inspection team will consist of four NRC

inspectors and two contractors. The current inspection schedule is as follows:

Offsite preparation:

Experience with previous baseline design/modification inspections of similar depth and length

has shown that this type of inspection is extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC

inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to

ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for information

needed for the inspection.

It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the

number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of

the inspection. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead

inspector.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Jamie Benjamin. If there are any questions about the

inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead inspector at

630-829-9747 or via e-mail at Jamie.Benjamin@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information

collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Control

Number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the

requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget Control

Number.

This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in

accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,
