Dear Mr. Price:
j' We are now in the process of making plans for the addition of a generating unit of about 500 IG to_ our system for service May 1,1970.
Our preliminary findings indicate that a nuclear unit is a definite i
possibility.
We understand your office has an arrangement whereby you can i
undertake a preliminary informal review of proposed nuclear plant sites anc furnish advise on site acceptability.
The following sites cre being given consideration.
l (1) Monticello, Minnesota - On the Mississippi River about 35 i
miles upstream from Minneapolis (2) Prairie Island - On the Mississippi River about five miles upstream from Red Wing, Minnesota (3) Oak Park Heights - On the St. Croix River adjacent to Bayport, Minnesota. A 550 MW fossil fueled plant is under construction on the site for service in 1968.
We have considerable data on the various sites, especially No. 3 4
and we vould be pleased to fbrnish whatever vc have that you might need for your preliminary review prior to meeting with us.
