Minneapolis, MN 55401

Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Ms. P. L. Eng and

Mr. W. G. Guldemond of this office on June 10 through June 20, 1985, of

activities at Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 & 2, authorized

by NRC Operating License Nos. DPR-42 and DPR-60 and to the discussion of our

findings with Mr. D. J. Mendele and others of your staff at the conclusion of

the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report 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.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in

noncompliance with NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Appendix.

With respect to item 1.a the inspection showed that action had been taken to

correct the identified noncompliance and to prevent recurrence. Consequently,

no reply to this item of noncompliance is required and we have no further

questions regarding this matter at this time.

Regarding the remaining items, a written response is required.

It was noted that members of your staff were extremely cooperative and

responsive to the concerns and deficiencies identified. Our staff was

impressed with the immediate interim corrective measures implemented by your

staff prior to the exit interview.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
