Northern States Power Company 414 Niccitet Mau Minneapohs. Minnesota 55401 Telephone (612) 330 5500 February 20, 1984 Mr Richard C DeYoung, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washingua, DC 20555 MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Docket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 Revised Schedule for Implementation of Uniform Modification Process In our letter dated Iby 11, 1983 we provided a description of the correc-tive steps already taken or planned in response to the Region III Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty issued on April 11, 1983. The purpose of this letter is to provide a status report on the corrective steps we described and also provide an updated schedule for completion of one of these items.
The status of the corrective steps described in our letter of May 11, 1983 is summarized on the attached Table. As noted in this table, all items have been completed with the exception of two items related to the new uniform design change process and the modification turnover checklist.
The uniform modification process has proven to be far more time consuming to develop than originally planned. Draft changes to our directives system related to this new program have been prepared and distributed within NSP for review and comment. These comments are now being consoli-dated prior to preparation and release of new directives.
Implementation of this new program at our Prairie Island Plant is scheduled for this summer. We do not plan to implement this new system at Monticello until after the current refueling and maintenance outage. *his outage will last approximately seven months.
Imposition of a new modification control process at this time, with many projects already in progress, would not be prudent. Allowing sufficient time for training in the new process, we believe an implementation date of January 1,1985 can be achieved.

NORTHERN CTATE'J POWER COMPANY R C DeYoung, USNRC February 20, 1984 Page 2 The modification turnover checklist referred to in our May 11, 1983 letter was intended to be part of the new modification process. As noted above, this process is not yet in place. However, the plant has taken interim measures which address this concern. An " Individual Modification Checklist" has been prepared which addresses many items planned for the checklist which will be part of the new modification process.
This checklist will be completed for each modification prior to startup of the affected system. A " Master Modification Checklist" has also been prepared which assures that all " Individual Modification Checklists" are identified and completed prior to plant startup. Additional requirements have also been added to plant directives to assure interfaces are addressed and holds established in the current design change process.
We believe these measures prov!de adequate interim controls until the revised modification process, including the turnover checklist, is implemented.
Please contact us if you have any questions related to the status of these actions.
