DPR-60 NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY - MINNESOTA PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-282 AND 50-306

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated February 4,2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML110390081), Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation (NSPM, the licensee), requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes would make administrative changes to TS 5.2.1 and 5.3 that: (1) allow certain requirements of onsite and offsite organizations to be documented in the Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR); and (2) remove reference to specific education and experience requirements for operator license applicants.

Specifically, the proposed changes would revise PINGP, Units 1 and 2, TS Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls," by (1) revising TS 5.2.1(a) by adding the QATR as an allowable location for documentation of requirements for lines of authority, responsibility, and communications; and (2) revising TS 5.3.1 by the removal of the exception to operator license applicants' education and experience requirements, and the reference to a letter which references a specific industry guidance document. The proposed revision to TS 5.3.1 will update staff qualifications and make them consistent with the licensee's other operating nuclear power plant (Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP>>.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act requires applicants for nuclear power plant operating licenses to include TSs as part of the license. In Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.36, the Commission established regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs. This regulation requires that the TSs include items in eight specific categories.

These categories include 1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control Enclosure

- 2 settings, 2) limiting conditions for operation (LCO), 3) surveillance requirements (SRs), 4) design features, 5) administrative controls, 6) decommissioning, 7) initial notification, and 8) written reports. The regulation does not specify the particular requirements to be included in a plant's TSs. However, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved Standard Technical Specifications (STS) for each reactor type and encourages licensees to upgrade their TS consistent with the regulations and conforming, to the extent practicable, to Revision 3 with incorporated Travelers to the improved STS.

The NRC developed criteria, as described in the "Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors" (58 FR 39132), to determine which design conditions and associated surveillances should be located in the TSs as LCOs. Four criteria were subsequently incorporated into the regulations by an amendment to 10 CFR 50.36 (60 FR 36953).

The Commission's Final Policy Statement and documentation related to the revision of 10 CFR 50.36 acknowledged that implementation of the four criteria may permit some requirements presently in the TSs to be relocated to other licensee-controlled documents and programs.

Licensees may propose revisions to the TS to adopt STS format and content provided that plant specific review supports a finding of continued adequate safety because: (1) the change is editorial, administrative or provides clarification (Le., no requirements are materially altered),

(2) the change is more restrictive than the licensee's current requirement, or (3) the change is less restrictive than the licensee's current requirement, but nonetheless still affords adequate assurance of safety when judged against current regulatory standards. The NRC staff reviews such proposals and decides whether or not to change the licensee's TS.

On December 12,1995, the NRC issued Administrative Letter (AL) 95-06, "Relocation of Technical Specification Administrative Controls Related to Quality Assurance," to inform licensees of experiences involving the relocation of TS administrative controls related to quality assurance. In AL 95-06, the NRC staff identified typical TS administrative controls that may be relocated to licensee quality assurance control documents subject to the controls of 10 CFR 50.54{a). TS administrative control requirements identified in AL 95-06 include the independent safety engineering group, reviews and audits, the procedure review process, and records and record retention.

The NRC staff reviewed the TSs proposed to be relocated for compliance with 10 CFR 50.36 and agreement with staff guidance as established in NUREG-1431, Rev. 3, "Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants," for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs).

On March 20, 1985, the NRC issued the Commission Policy Statement on Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel, which endorsed the National Academy for Nuclear Training (NANT) and the training accreditation process. In Generic Letter 87-07, "Information Transmittal of Final Rulemaking for Revisions to Operator Licensing - 10 CFR 55 and Conforming Amendments," dated March 19,1987, and in NUREG-1262, "Answers to Questions at Public Meetings Regarding Implementation of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 55 on Operators' Licenses," published November 1987. the NRC indicated it would accept a facility's licensed operator training program if the facility certified in writing that

- 3 the program was accredited and based on a systems approach to training (SAT). This certification would supersede the requirements of ANSI N18.1-1971, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," and ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978, "Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants." Facility licensees were advised to submit a request to the NRC for an administrative change to their licensing documents to revise or delete, as appropriate, the requirements that had been superseded.

In 1992, the NRC published its proposed rule 10 CFR 50.120, "Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant PersonneL" The proposed rule stated that, if adopted, the rule would supersede the Policy Statement on Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel and would not result in any change to accredited programs. The Commission concluded that accredited programs, implemented consistent with industry objectives and criteria, would be in compliance with this regulation. In April 1993, the NRC published its final rule on training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel. The rule requires nuclear power plant licensees to establish, implement, and maintain SAT-based training programs for nine categories of nuclear power plant personnel. Accreditation of these nine training programs is an acceptable means of meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.120.

On January 18, 2001, the NRC published NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2001-01, "Eligibility of Operator License Applicants," to familiarize licensees with the NRC's current guidelines for the qualification and training of operator and senior operator license applicants.

RIS 2001-01 acknowledged that 10 CFR 55.31 (a)(4) allows the NRC to accept an application for an operator's license if the facility licensee certifies that the applicant has successfully completed a Commission approved training program that is based on SAT. In addition, RIS 2001-01 stated that: (1) a training program would be considered approved by the NRC when it receives or renews accreditation from the National Nuclear Accrediting Board (NNAB);

(2) accreditation of operator training programs suggests that facilities are implementing the education and experience guidelines endorsed by the NNAB; (3) NANT guidelines for education and experience (those in effect in 1987 or those issued in January 2000) outline acceptable methods for implementing the Commission's regUlations; and (4) the staff encourages all facility licensees to review their requirements and commitments related to operator and senior operator education and experience and to update their documentation (e.g., Final Safety Analysis Report, Technical SpeCifications, and training program descriptions) to "enhance consistency and minimize confusion."

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Proposed Changes to TS 5.2.1! Onsite and Offsite Organizations Section 5.0 of the PINGP TSs contain administrative controls reqUirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5). In its application, the licensee proposed to revise TS 5.2.1 (a) by including the QATR as an allowable location for documenting the requirements for lines of authority, responsibility, and communications. The licensee stated that the addition of the QATR would allow a document common to PINGP and MNGP to contain the organizational relationships per TS 5.2.1 (a).

Section 50.36(c)(5) of 10 CFR states, "administrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting

-4 necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner." TS 5.2.1 contains the requirement for establishing onsite and offsite organizations and positions for activities affecting safety of the nuclear plant. Specifically, 5.2.1 (a) establishes the documented location of lines of authority, responsibility, communications, and specific titles of the personnel.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's proposed changes to TS 5.2.1 (a) against the criteria for administrative controls set forth in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5). The NRC staff has determined that the content of the proposed changes involve administrative controls related to quality assurance requirements. In addition, the NRC staff determined that the addition of the wording "or Quality Assurance Topical Report" is editorial in nature and does not change the meaning of the intended requirements. The relocation requirements will be directly controlled by regulations in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a) or 10 CFR 50.59. Further, the NRC staff determined that the proposed changes are consistent with the requirements identified for relocation of the quality assurance plan by AL 95-06 and are also consistent with the guidance in NUREG-1431.

Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change to TS 5.2.1 (a) is acceptable.

3.2 Proposed Changes to TS 5.3, Plant Staff Qualifications In its application, the licensee proposed to revise PINGP Units 1 and 2 TS 5.3.1, by removing the exception to operator license applicants' education and experience requirements, and the reference to a letter which references a specific industry guidance document. The proposed revision to TS 5.3.1 will update staff qualifications and make them consistent with the licensee's other operating nuclear power plant (MNGP).

The revision proposed by NSPM will revise PINGP Units 1 and 2 TS Section 5.3, "Plant Staff Qualifications," to remove outdated licensed operator educational and experience requirements, based on NNAB's accreditation of PINGP's licensed operator training programs. This proposed change is consistent with 10 CFR 55(a)(4). In addition, this change will not affect the 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) requirement to ensure the licensee maintains administrative controls that assure the operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change to TS 5.3.1 is acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Minnesota State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(1 0). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

- 5

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
