Dear Mr. Collins:

DOCKETS 50-282 AND 50-306 20-DAY RESPONSE TO ORDER FOR INTERIM SAFEGUARDS SECURITY COMPENSATORY MEASURES FOR PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 On February 25, 2002, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an Order that modifies the current operating license for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)

Units 1 and 2 to require compliance with the specified interim safeguards and security compensatory measures.

The Order requires the following actions to be taken by the Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) at PINGP Units 1 and 2 within 20 days of issuance of the Order:

1. Item B.1 - Notify the Commission if (1) we are unable to comply with any of the requirements described in Attachment 2 of the Order, (2) if compliance is unnecessary in PINGP specific circumstances, or (3) if implementation of any of the requirements would cause PINGP to be in violation of the provisions of any Commission regulation or the facility license.

2. Item B.2 - Notify the Commission if implementation of any of the requirements described in Attachment 2 to the Order would adversely impact safe operation of the facility, provide the basis for this determination, and provide a proposal for achieving the same objectives specified in the Attachment 2 requirement in question, or a schedule for modifying the facility to address the adverse safety condition. If neither approach is appropriate, NMC must supplement its response to Condition B1 of the Order to identify the condition as a requirement with which it cannot comply.

3. Item C.1 - Submit to the Commission a schedule for achieving compliance with each requirement described in Attachment 2.
