On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued Reference 1 to request seismic profile information associated with Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1 from all NRC power reactor licensees.

In Reference 2, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM),

d/b/a Xcel Energy, the licensee for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP),

Document Control Desk Page 2 responded to the NRC and provided an Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) report. The results indicated that additional action (e.g. evaluation, modification, or other action) was required to assure that sufficient seismic margin is available for a small set of plant equipment.

On April 8, 2015, the NRC sent an email (Reference 3) that contained requests for additional information (RAis) related to the ESEP report provided in Reference 2.

On May 22, 2015 (Reference 4), NSPM responded to the NRC requested information in Reference 3. As part of the response to the NRC, NSPM provided corrections to the ESEP report and provided the following regulatory commitment:

A letter will be provided to the NRC indicating the proposed resolution applicable to each component and the expected timeframe for completion of the resolution when this information has been developed.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the information necessary to satisfy the above commitment. The enclosure contains the necessary information.

If there are any questions or if additional information is needed, please contact John Fields, Fukushima Response Licensing, at 763-271-6707.

Summary of Commitments This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.

This letter completes and closes a commitment made to the NRC.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on July ft 2016.

L-MT-16-025 ENCLOSURE MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT COMPONENTS REQUIRING ACTION TO MEET ESEP REVISED SEISMIC CRITERIA

- PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND EXPECTED COMPLETION DATES I. Introduction In Reference 1, Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM),

d/b/a Xcel Energy, the licensee for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP),

responded to the NRC and provided an Expedited Seismic Evaluation Process (ESEP) report. The results indicated that additional action (e.g. evaluation, modification, or other action) was required to assure sufficient seismic margin is available for a small set of plant equipment.

On April 8, 2015, the NRC sent an email (Reference 2) that contained requests for additional information (RAIs) related to the ESEP report provided in Reference 2.

On May 22, 2015 (Reference 3), NSPM responded to the NRC requested information in Reference 2. As part of the response to the NRC, NSPM provided corrections to the ESEP report and provided the following regulatory commitment:

A letter will be provided to the NRC indicating the proposed resolution applicable to each component and the expected timeframe for completion of the resolution when this information has been developed.

This enclosure provides the information necessary to satisfy the above commitment.

II. Requested Information In Reference 3, NSPM provided Table 7-1, which identified 24 components requiring further evaluation and/or modification to meet the revised seismic capacity (i.e. to withstand the Review Level Ground Motion (RLGM)) applicable MNGP. Table 1 below, provides the proposed resolution for each of the 24 components previously identified and the expected timeframe for completion of the proposed resolutions.

L-MT-16-025 Notes:

1) Component bolting was reevaluated and found to meet ESEP requirements (i.e.

High Confidence of a Low Probability of Failure (HCLPF) exceeds RLGM).

Therefore, no further action is required.

2) Device was evaluated in greater detail to determine seismic capacity for the contact and coil states that are expected during the seismic event. The device was found to have sufficient seismic capacity to withstand the seismic demand.

Therefore, no further action is required.

3) Circuit analysis has determined that this device does not create a seal-in condition as previously thought. Therefore, this device was removed from the scope of the ESEP and no further action is required.
4) Chatter of contacts in relays 13A-K28 or K102B would be blocked by relay K102A, which has been determined not to chatter. Therefore, these relays are not applicable to ESEP and no further action is required.
5) Contact chatter was determined to create a desired response (initiation of the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) system). Therefore, no further action is required.
6) Contact chatter was determined to have no effect on the controlled components (RCIC valves). Therefore, no further action is required.
7) Contact chatter of LS-23-74 and LS-23-75 would transfer RCIC pump suction from the Condensate Storage Tank to the Torus. This is a desired response for FLEX implementation. Therefore, no further action is required.
