AND 50-306/97004(DRS)

Dear Mr. Wadley:

On February 7,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear

!

Generating Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

l

[

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the

l

inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,

!

. observations, and interviews with personnel.

{

i

Overall, the implementation of radiological controls was effective in maintaining a

reasonable collective dose for the work accomplished during the Unit 2 outage. The

j

inspector observed outage work in progress in the auxiliary and containment buildings and

reviewed radiation protection planning activities associated with the outage. Reviews of

l

shutdown chemistry, the recent abnormal liquid effluent release, and implementation of

!

the respiratory program were also conducted. No violations of NRC requirements or open

j

items were identified.

l

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules and Practice," a copy of this letter

,

and its enclosures will be place in the NRC Public Document Room.
