Hirons Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Mail Stop T-3 F23 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 In the Matter of Northern States Power Company (Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2)
Docket Nos. 50-282-LR & 50-306-LR; ASLBP No. 08-871-01-LR Gentlemen:
The Prairie Island Indian Communitys Reply to NRC Staffs Answer and Northern States Power Companys Answer in Opposition to the Communitys New Contention on the Safety Evaluation Report (Dec. 10, 2009), cites Georgia Institute of Technology, CLI-95-12, 42 N.R.C. 111 (1995) for the proposition that management issues are relevant to and within the scope of a license renewal proceeding. Northern States Power Company (NSPM) has discussed this citation with counsel for the Indian Community and believes that the Indian Community did not appreciate that this case involves a research reactor not subject to 10 C.F.R. Part 54 and its limitations on scope. See 10 C.F.R. § 54.3 (defining nuclear power plant as a nuclear power facility of a type described in 10 C.F.R. 50.21(b) or 50.22, thus excluding research reactors described in 10 C.F.R.
§ 50.21(c)). NSPM has also discussed with the Indian Communitys counsel NSPMs sending of this letter to alert the Board.
Sincerely,
/Signed electronically by David R. Lewis/
