• Power company September 21, 1976 Mr James G Keppler Office of Inspection & Enforcement Region III US Nuclear Regulatory Commission 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 DOCKET 50-255, LICENSE DPR PALISADEq PLANT, CONTROL ROD DRIVES -

ER-76-29, -30 AND -31 Attached are three Licensee Event Reports which relate to our Palisades Plant.

Normal plant reporting requirements require these to be reported in thirty days; however, the Palisades special Technical Specifications intended that these events be reported under an old specification requirement which is equiva-lent to the present Prompt Notification requirements. In the future, it is our intention to report these events as required under the present Prompt Notifica-tion requirements.
