DPR-42 50-306 DPR-60 Thermal Shock to Reactor pressure Vessels The Westinghouse Owners Group, of which Northern States Power Company is a member, has cocnitted to a program to address potential reactor vessel integrity concerns as identified in NRC Generic Letter 81-19.

That cocnittment, and the description of the program, are contained in Letter 0G-58 dated M1y 14,1981 from Robert W Jurgensen, Chairman, Westinghouse Owners Group, to D G Eisenhut, Director, Division of Licensing, USNRC.

Additionally, as described in the b y 14th letter, all Westinghouse plants including Prairie Island Units One and Two have been shown to safely sustain severe thermal shock transients, including repressurization, to beyond January, 1983 at a minimum.

Specifically, the Westinghouse Owners Group Program to be completed in December, 1981 will identify, for all operating plants as identified in the b y 14th report, if future additional plant specific analysis and/or remedial actions may be required and will provide the time in plant life when these additional actions may be needed.

Based on the results of the program, as will be provided to the NRC at the end c.f 1981, Northern States Power Company will provide additional detail including a schedule for reanalysis and/or remedial action if required and the basis for this reanalysis and remedial action.
