UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 February 6, 2014 Mr. Kevin Davison Site Vice President Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company, Minnesota 1717 Wakonade Drive East Welch, MN 55089
SUBJECT:
NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, JULY 29, 2014 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE
Dear Mr. Davison:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) routinely participates in licensees emergency preparedness exercises to ensure that the NRCs Incident Response capabilities are effectively maintained and to provide licensees an opportunity to exercise the interface with the NRC during response to an incident at their sites. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our intent to participate in the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Emergency Preparedness Exercise, Units 1 and 2, scheduled to occur on July 29, 2014. Currently, the extent of participation will only involve regional response staff.
During the exercise, the NRCs response will involve activating the Region III Incident Response Center and sending an NRC Site Team, including the resident inspectors, to your emergency response facilities. If the NRCs scope of participation changes, we will contact your emergency preparedness staff to discuss the changes. We will also coordinate with your staff to schedule a pre-exercise outreach presentation. The emergency response coordinators will conduct the presentation and provide training materials to assist your staff in exercising with the NRC. The NRC outreach efforts, conducted by my staff, are tools to further reinforce concepts related to NRC incident response activities.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
K. Davison If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact Ms. Michelle Garza, Region III Emergency Response Specialist, at (630) 829-9719, or I can be reached at (630) 829-9827.
Sincerely,
/RA/
