SUBJECT:
NRC RADIATION P.tOTECTION INSPECTION REPORTS 50-282/98022(DRS);
50-306/98022(DRS)
Dear Mr. Wadley:
On November 20,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear
Generating Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The inspection
examined activities conducted under your license related to radiation safety and to compliance
with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
Areas examined during the inspection included surveys for the free release of turbine
components, walkdowns within the containment, auxiliary and radwaste buildings, observation
of various work activities in progress, shutdown chemistry, and planning to ensure that jobs
were conducted to maintain the radiation dose As-Low-As-is-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA).
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and
representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel. No violations of NRC
requirements or open items were identified.
Overall, the radiological controls were effective in maintaining a reasonable collective dose for
the work being conducted during the Unit 2 refueling outage. The surveys and controls for the
free release of turbine components were thorough, and ALARA planning and shutdown
chemistry were wellimplemented. The radiation protection staff and radworker performance
was effective, and the minor discrepancies that were identified were addressed promptly by
your staff.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules and Practice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
