==Dear Mr. Arnone:==
==Dear Mr. Arnone:==
On March 5, 2018 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Triennial Fire Protection Baseline Inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05TBaseline Fire Protection IP. Changes were made to the IP 71111.05T, which now requires the Fire Protection Inspection to review your actions to mitigate postulated events that could potentially cause loss of large areas of power reactor facilities due to explosions or fires. This requirement was implemented by the issuance of the Interim Compensatory Measures Order EA-02-026, Section B.5.b, and the subsequent requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(hh)(2), which are collectively referred to as B.5.b requirements. During this inspection, the B.5.b requirements review will be performed during the first onsite week of the inspection starting on March 5, 2018. The schedule for the onsite inspection activity is as follows: Information Gathering Visit: March 56, 2018; B.5.b Requirements: March 69, 2018; and Fire Protection Inspection: March 1923, 2018, and April 26, 2018. The purpose of the information gathering visit is: (1) to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection; (2) to become familiar with the Palisades Nuclear Plant fire protection programs, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities, and plant layout; and (3) to arrange administrative details, such as office space, availability of knowledgeable office personnel and to ensure unescorted site access privileges. Experience has shown that the Baseline Fire Protection Inspections are 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 organizations, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups. The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than February 2, 2018. The second group also lists information and areas for discussion necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific fire protection focus areas for the inspection and to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit on March 5, 2018. The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the second onsite inspection week beginning March 19, 2018. The fourth group lists the information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during 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. The lead inspector for this inspection is Atif Shaikh. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Barb Dotson of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9824 or via e-mail at Atif.Shaikh@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

Dear Mr. Arnone:

On May 14, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a Triennial Fire Protection Inspection at your Palisades Nuclear Plant. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Charles Arnone and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report. Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has identified two issues that were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green) and one unresolved item. The NRC has also determined that two violations are associated with these issues. Because the licensee initiated condition reports to address the issues, these violations are being treated as a Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violations or significance of the NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC resident inspector at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment or a finding not associated with a regulatory requirement in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; and the NRC resident inspector at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This letter 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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part E
