FINAL RESPONSE TO STAFF CONCERNS RELATED TO PORV/BLOCK VALVE MODIFICATION (TAC 72889)

NRC letter dated January 4, 1990 contains nine specific items of Staff concern relating to the new PORVs and Block Valves at the Palisades Plant.

NRC letter dated February 9, 1990 requested CPC to respond to those nine specific concerns no later than February 23, 1990 and states that a draft response is acceptable. Subsequently, on March 8, 1990 at a meeting attended by CPC Staff and NRC Staff and their respective consultants, after review of CPC's February 23, 1990 draft response, it was concluded that in addition to submitting a final response, CPC should respond to four additional NRC Staff questions.

Enclosure I itemizes those four additional questions and provides CPC's response. Enclosure II provides our final response to the nine concerns identified in the NRC letter dated January 4, 1990.
