NIBD NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT RR #2 Welch,. TIN 35089 January 10, 1980 Mr. James G. Keppler, Director Region II! 0f fice of Inspection and Enforcement US Nuclear Regulatory Conraission 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Attention:

R. F. Warnick Reportable Occurrence No. 80-3 Eddy current inspection of No. 21 Steam Generator at Unit 2 refueling revealed a defect in one tube.

The tube vill be plugged. Visual inspecuan revealed that the defect was caused by movement of one of the tube lane blocking devices against the outside surface of the tube about 17 inches above the tubesheet. Additional tubes in this region are being examined.

The nature of the defect is such that it appears that failure, had it occurred, would have produced minor leakage as opposed to tube rupture.

Sincerely, Y.
