SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission continued monitoring licensees performance by conducting an Emergency Preparedness Inspection at Palisades Nuclear Plant in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations No findings or violations were identified.
Additional Tracking Items None.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program -
Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
REACTOR SAFETY
71114.01Exercise Evaluation
Main article: IP 71114.01
The inspectors evaluated the April 24, 2018, Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise.
The exercise scenario simulated an event at Palisades Nuclear Plant that initiated with the declaration and notification of an Alert in response to equipment failure. The scenario conditions simulated the escalation of the significance of the event, requiring the declaration and notification of a Site Area Emergency and then a General Emergency, as well as the development of Protective Action Recommendations that were communicated to the required state and local government agencies.
71114.08Exercise EvaluationScenario Review
Main article: IP 71114.08
The inspectors reviewed and evaluated the proposed scenario for the Biennial Emergency Plan Exercise on March 14,
