摘要

The safety evaluation report relates to the issuance of a full-term operatinglicense (FTOL) for the Palisades Nuclear Generating Plant in response to an application filed by the Consumers Power Company. The report provides an update of the status of the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) issues that were not fully resolved in the SEP Integrated Plant Safety Assessment Report (NUREG-0820 and NUREG-0820 Supplement 1). The report also addresses the status of requirements stemming from the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2, unresolved safety issues, and other important plant-specific issues that have not yet been resolved. The staff has evaluated the issues related to the conversion of the provisional operating license to a full-term operating license and concluded that the facility can continue to be operated without endangering the health and safety of the public.
