INTRUGUCTION On Marcn 13, 1930, ne USNRC Of fice of Inspection and Enforcetaant (13E), issued ISE Bulletin 80-06, entitled "Engiaeered Safety Feature (dSF)

Reset Con rols," to all PWR and BWR f acilities witn operating licenses.

I&E Sulletin 80-06 requested tnat the following ac:f ons se taken my tne licensees:

(1)

Review :ne drawings for all systems serving safety-related functions at :ne scnematic/ elementary diagram level to de.ennine wnetner or no: upon :ne reset of an ESF actuation signal all associated cafety-related equipment re:nains in its emergency mode.

(2)

Verify tnat the actual' installed instrumentation and controls at tne facility are consistent witn tne schematics reviewed in Item 1 aoove by conducting a,

test to de:nonstrate that all equipment remains in its emergency made upon removal of :ne actuating signal and/or manual rese: ting of tne various isolating or actuation signals.

Provide a scnedule for :ne per-formance of :ne testing in your response to tnis bulletin.

(3)

If any safety-related equipment does not remain in its emergency mode upon reset of an ESF signal at your facility, descrice proposed system modification, design change, or other corrective action planned to resolve the problem.

(4)

Report in w-iting,;itnin 90 days ne results of your review, include a list of all devices wnicn respond as discussed in Item 3 above, actions taken or planned to assure adequate equipinent control, and a scnedule for implementation of corrective action.

This tecnnical evaluation addresses tne licensee'siresponse to ISE Bulletin 80-06 and the licensee's proposed system modifica: ion, design In change, and/or other corrective action planned to resolve tne problem.

evaluating tne licensee's response to the four Action Item requirements of tne bulletin, tne following NRC staff guidance is also used:

Upon the rese; of ESF signals, all safety-related equipment snall remain in its emer~gency mode.

Multiple reset sequencing snall not cause :ne affected equipment to deviate from its emergency mode.

EVALUATION At:0 CUNCLUSIONS In a letter dated June 2,1980 [Ref.1], Nor:nern States Power Ccept.ny (NSP), tne licensee for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plants, Units 1 and 2, replied to ISE Bulletin 80-06.

ortnern States Power reported tna; they ned completed a review of the safety system scnematics for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.

Tne licensee stated tnat their safety-related equipment remains in its emergency mode upon reset of the safety signals.

We conclude :na: :ne licensee nas complied witn Action Items 1, 3, and 4 of I3E Bulletin 60-06.

ine licensee coanitted to test eacn unit at its nex: refueling outage to demonstrate tnat :ne safety-related equipment remains in its emerger.cy made after reset.

The next seneduled refueling outages were stated to be in Augus:/ September, 1980 for Unit 1 and in February /Marcn, 1981 for Unit 2.

We conclude tnat tne licensee has complied witn Action I:em 2 of I&E Bulletin 80-06 by providing :nis schedule.

3.

F INDINGS Based on our review of the information and documents proviced by tne licensee, we find tnat tne ESF rese: cont.ols for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 satisfy the requirements of I&E Bulletin 80-06.
