SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-282/02-03(DRS); 50-306/02-03(DRS)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On April 11, 2002, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection of your Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The results of this inspection were discussed on April 10 and 11, 2002, with you and members of your staff. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

The supplemental inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and to compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. Specifically, this inspection focused on your re-assessment of the root causes and development of corrective actions for the White inspection finding associated with the cooling water pumps documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-282/00-13; 50-306/00-13.

Based upon the results of this inspection, the inspector determined that your root cause evaluation of the White inspection finding identified the primary and contributory causes for the finding. The inspector also determined that your completed and proposed corrective actions for the finding appropriately addressed the identified root and contributory causes. Consequently, the White finding will be closed. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
