SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT WITH OPEN ITEMS RELATED TO THE LICENSE RENEWAL OF PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Wadley:
By letter dated April 11, 2008, Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC), now known as Northern States Power Company, Minnesota (NSPM), submitted, for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) review, an application to renew the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, operating licenses for up to an additional 20 years.
The license renewal application (LRA) was submitted pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54, Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. The staff determined that the LRA was complete and acceptable for docketing on June 17, 2008.
The staff reviewed the PINGP LRA and developed the enclosed Safety Evaluation Report With Open Items Related to the License Renewal of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, hereinafter referred to as the Safety Evaluation Report (SER). This SER reflects the status of the staffs review of the LRA, requests for additional information (RAIs), the applicants responses to the staffs RAIs, and other questions related to the LRA through May 8, 2009, unless otherwise noted. Issuance of the enclosed SER is an important milestone for both the applicant and the staff.
In accordance with the schedule for completing the review of the PINGP LRA, the applicant is requested to review the enclosed SER, verify its accuracy, and provide comments to the staff by August 7, 2009. The staff plans to review the current content and format of the SER for further improvement, while incorporating the applicants comments. Upcoming milestones for this project include an Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards Sub-Committee meeting on July 7, 2009, and a final SER which is currently scheduled to be issued on or about October 22, 2009.
M. Wadley If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the license renewal project manager, Richard Plasse, at 301-415-1427 or e-mail Richard.Plasse@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
