Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. R. Hasse and
Mr. R. Langstaff of this office on September 17 through October f, 1990 of
activities at Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 authorized
by NRC Operating Licenses Number DPR-42 and DPR-60 and to the discussion of
our findings with Mr. E . Watz1 and others of your staff at the conclusion of
the inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to determine if design changes and
modifications were being conducted in accordance with programmatic and
regulatory requirements. The inspection consisted of a selective examination
of procedures and representative records, observations, and interviews with
personnel.
While no violations of NRC requirements were identified ouring this inspection,
a number of concerns were raised.
Deficiencies relating to the small break
LOCA analysis, which has a bearing on one of the modifications reviewed, have
required a new analysis to be performed. We request that you provide us
results of that re-analysis (Paragraph 3.a.(1)).
In reviewing your actions to upgrade Frairie Island's commercial grade
dedication program, a number of issues were raised including non-specific test
criteria and lack of acceptance criteria for required checks. We also
determined that a QA audit in this area had identified the same weeknesses.
Please provide us within 30 days of receipt of this letter, your plans to
address the issues identified in paragraphs 2 (Commercial Grade Dedication
Followup) and 4 (QA audits) of the attached report,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room,
