SUBJECT:

MEETING BETWEEN THE NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY AND THE NRC STAFF CONCERNING A LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR THE PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT (TAC NOS: MA4228/MA4229)

The NRC staff met with representatives from the Northern States Power Compariy (NSP) at NRC Headquarters on January 7,1999, concerning a recent license amendment request dated November 25,1998, for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). Enclosure 1 lists the meeting participants. A public meeting notice for the subject meeting was issued on December 21,1998, and a copy of the meeting notice had been posted on the NRC's public Internet webpage.

The NSP's license amendment request proposed changes to the PINGP technical specifications (TS) that would append specific allowed-outage time provisions pertaining to the boric acid storage tank (BAST) level channels and transfer logic channels for required testing and maintenance. NSP requested the meeting to brief the staff on the background of the subject amendment request and also to step through the relevant logic system diagrams with the staff. Enclosure 2 is a copy of the licensee's slides (simplified logic system / functional diagrams) used during the meeting. The consensus among the staff members who attended the meeting was that the meeting was very helpfulin understanding the relatively complicated logic systems involved in the subject amendment request as well as the licensee's need for the amendment, and therefore preempting the need for a staff request for additionalinformation.

As a result, the staff expects to be able to accommodate the licensee's request for an expedited review schedule.

PINGP TS requires the operability of BAST interlocks associated with the transfer of safety ,

injection suction from BAST to the refueling water storage tank (RWST). The TS also require the functional testing of the BAST transfer logic to the RWST on a monthly basis. However, the TS do not provide specific allowed-outage-time to perform the required testing. As reported in its Licensee Event Report 98-18, dated December 17,1998, since orig!nal plant operation, NSP has performed the analog testing of BAST level channels by placing the respective channels in the tripped condition. When in this condition, a single failure of another channel could have caused a premature transfer of the safety injection pump suctions from the BAST to RWST g I

which would bypass the injection of highly borated water required to mitigate a main steam line \ ;

break accident. This discrepancy was identified by NSP as a resuit of a followup to NRC Information Notice 97-81," Deficiencies in Failure Modes and Effects Analyses for Instrumentation and Control Systems."

2 Subsequent to identification of this discrepancy. NSP determined that it is possible to perform the required testing without making level or logic channels associated with the inservice BASTS isolated. However, testing the instrumentation in that manner requires the physical realignment of the standby and inservice BASTS on each unit each month. This testing configuration has several disadvantages and increases the potential for a two-unit shutdown resulting from the inability to complete the required testing when and if one of the three BASTS are found to be inoperable. Therefore, it is not considered a viable method for the long-term testing of the BAST instrumentation. Hence, the proposed TS amendment appends specific allowed-outage-time provisions for the BAST level channels and transfer log *c channels for required testing and maintenance.
