PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-255

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated June 25, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13176A405), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. submitted a License Amendment Request to revise the Site Emergency Plan (SEP) at the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP). The proposed amendment would revise the PNP SEP to increase the staff augmentation response times for certain emergency response organization positions.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the June 25, 2013, submittal and determined that the following Request for Additional Information (RAI) is needed to complete its technical review. If any part of this information is not available within the 30-day response period for this RAI, please provide the date that this information will be submitted.

2.0 ISSUE

The proposed amendment would revise the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) Site Emergency Plan to increase the staff augmentation response times for certain emergency response organization positions. These changes are based upon the results of an On-Shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) performed by PNP staff.

RAI-1 The NRC staff needs to review the Palisades Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) Report, Revision 0, dated December 18, 2012. The OSA results justify the changes to emergency staff augmentation response times in the proposed license amendment. The NRC needs to review the OSA to support the independent evaluation of the proposed changes to the PNP SEP.
