Washington, DC 20555 MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Docket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 Submittal of Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR)
Pursuant to 10CFR 50.71(e) we hereby submit 13 copies of the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The USAR is a new document which updates the information in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for the period from the time the last amendment was submitted on July 23, 1970 through October 31, 1981.
The USAR will be revised on an annual basis per 10CFR Part 50.71(e).
Sections of the FSAR which were necessary for the Operating License application but do not relate to operational phase activities such as start-up testing, construction contractor/licensee interfaces, personnel resumes, proposed Technical Specifications, etc. have not been included in the USAR. Sections and appendices of the FSAR which were separate licensing basis documents and that are essentially unchanged such as meteorological, hydrological, seismological studies; vessel design report; etc. have not been included in the USAR. All of the above mentioned material is still readily available in the FSAR, which continues to be the "licensing basis document".
This material has been referenced in the USAR as appropriate. Other self-standing documents that are revised on a frequent basis and are readily available at the licensee facilities such as the Emergency Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, Security Plan, etc. have not been included in the USAR, except for references which indicate the current revision and date of NRC approval or acceptance of those documents.
The program to update the FSAR was contracted to a consulting firm who expended about 85 man-months work over an 18-month period. It was necessary to review and catalog about 12 years of licensee files. This information was used to provide drafts of updated chapters for the USAR which underwent several stages of review by the licensee and consultant.
We believe that the level of attention given to the preparation of the USAR has resulted in a document that accurately presents the changes made to the plant and the analyses performed since the final amendment to the FSAR. With a project of this magnitude, however, it is possible that some inconsistencies or errors may not have been identified and corrected in the review process. If any deviations of this nature are identified, they will be noted for correction in the next annual USAR revision. In addition, if the deviation is judged to be highly significant, we would 8205 17 0 l(L 0

NORT*N STATES POWER COM NY Director NRR April 30, 1982 Page 2 verbally inform the NRR Project Manager and determine whether any further action is required prior to the next annual revision.
It is NSP's intent to base all future 10CFR50.59 determinations for "changes in the facility as described in the Safety Analysis Report" and "changes in the procedures as described in the Safety Analysis Report" upon the current USAR. Changes to the Monticello plant made in 1981 or tests conducted in 1981 that were reportable under 10CFR 50.59 were separately reported in the Annual Operating Report submitted to the NRC Regional Administrator-III on February 26, 1982. Those changes to the facility completed prior to November.1, 1981 are reflected in the USAR.
It is our intent to include an attachment to letters transmitting future USAR revisions which will describe changes, test and experiments made under the provisions of 10CFR50.59, including a brief summary of the safety evaluation for each change, thereby eliminating the need for a separate annual 50.59 submittal.
