Gentlemen:

This refers to the special plant readiness team inspection conducted

by Messrs. W. Guldemond, H. A. Walker, S. A. Reynolds, A. Dunlop and

Miss C. D. Anderson of this office during the period of December 16, 1986,

through February 13, 1987, of activities at the Palisades Nuclear Generating

Plant authorized by NRC Provisional Operating License No. DPR-20 and to the

discussion of our findings with Mr. J. F. Firlit at the conclusion of the

inspection. The purpose of this inspection was to determine whether the

licensee had made sufficient progress in improving the material condition

of the Palisades facility and solving design issues to support restart and

whether adequate assurances had been provided that an acceptable level of

material condition would be maintained to support continued safe and reliable

operation.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report with its three attachments

identifies areas examined during the inspection. Within these areas,

the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and

representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.

It was the conclusion of the inspection team that upon completion of

outstanding prestart commitments, the material condition of the plant would

be adequate to support plant restart. Further adequate commitments have

been made to reasonably traintain an acceptable level of material condition

to support continued safe and reliable plant operation.
