Decenbcr 23, 1996 Mr. E. Watz1, Vice President Nuclear Generation Northern States Power Company 414 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, Mt: 55401
SUBJECT:
PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - PRAIRIE ISLAND
Dear Mr. Watz1:
On November 7, 1996, the NRC Region III management and staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Prairie Island. The Region conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an a
integrated understanding of safety performance. The results are used by NRC management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Prairie Island involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period of March 1996 through September 1996.
PPRs provide NRC management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews.
This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Prairie Island PPR review.
It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. The enclosure details our inspection plan for the next 6 months. The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the " Core" inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas. Resident inspections, as well as periodic inspections by other staff, are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
