Northern States Power Company ATTN Mr. L, O. Mayer, Manager Wuclear support Services 414 Nicollet Mall - 8th Floor Minneapolis, Hinnesota 55401 Centlement RE: MonTICELLO NUCLEAR CENERATING PIANT PRAIRIE ISLAND NL' CLEAR GENERATING PLANT UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 1
A recent assessment of progress towards the implementation of the Nuclear Plant Reliability Data System (NPRDS) shows varying degrees of participation by nuclest power plant licensees.
In general, however, it appears that this program is of low priority interest to utilities.
Development of this data system was initiated in 1969; it is sponsored I
by ANSI Subcommittee N18-20 and it has been in formal operation since July 1974. The AEC and more recently the NRC has actively endorsed i
and supported the development and implementation of this voluntary data reporting system. The data obtained on safety-related components and systems from the NPRDS should be of starked interest to the entire nuclear industry. Such data could provide a baseline for Lt-hnological improveme nt s, improved plant availability, better-founded surveillance test schedules, enhanced maintenance programs and could be the basis for relaxing some licensing requirements. Howeve r, if pa rt icipa tion continues at its current uneven rate, it will be many years before the h,
data bank can be ef fectively utilized.
We prefer that the system be supported voluntarily by the industry, j
but we will conside' making participation mandatory if greater progress
{
is not made. Therefore, if your company is not one of the few that is already a fully participating member of the NPRDS, we want to urge you to have it become one stoce your full participation is needed to
{
make the NPRDS an ef fective vehicle for data collection.
