Dear Mr. Antony:
l
>
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted'by: Messrs. M Dapas,_
l
R. Bywater, and C.. Orsini,. of this office from July 20 to September ?l3,1993,
of activities at: the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, . Units 1 and 2, '
!
authorized by NRC_0perating Licenses No. DPR-42 and No. DPR-60, and to the-
!
discussion of our findings with Mr. M. D. Wadley and other members of your-
i
staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
-
!
The enclosed copy of our inspection ~ repor'c identifies areas" examined during
,
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
!
~
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
,
l
During this inspection, certain of-your activities appeared to be in violation
i
of NRC requirements. Specifically, you conducted testing of an emergency.-
diesel generator while an opposite train engineered safety features component
was out-of-service for preventive maintenance. However, as' described in the
,
enclosed inspection report, the violation is not being cited because: the
!
criteria specified in Section Vll.B.2 of the " General . Statement of Policy and'
'
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (Enforcement Policy', 10 CFR.Part 2,
Appendix C), were satisfied.
During this inspection period, a long-standing, unresolved item regarding
generic resolution of an NRC concern withifalsification of- records at numerous
'
nuclear power plants was closed relative to Prairie Island. We concluded that-
your corrective actions were adequate to address the various records
.
,
falsification issues that had been identified in previous NRC inspections.
Your identification of and efforts to resolve a potentially safety significant'
!
issue regarding breaches in various steam' exclusion. boundaries-is viewed
positively. . We are continuing to evaluate both the safety significance of the
as-found condition and other related aspects of this issue as discussed in -the
inspection report.
