SUBJECT: NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 50-282/99003(DRS);

50-306/99003(DRS)'

Dear Mr. Wadley:

On April 7,1999, the NRC completed an inspection of your physical security program at the-

Prairie Island Nuclear Generatin; Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of that

inspection.

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

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

observations, and interviews with personnel. The objective of the inspection effort was to

determine whether activities authorized by the. license were conducted safely and in accordance

with NRC requirements.

No violations of NRC requirements were noted in the areas that were reviewed. The security

department self-assessment efforts continue to be strong. Although the general performance of

the security force has been effective and consistent recently, we identified two occasions when

the protected area ingress search and access control functions were significantly disrupted. We

also identified that a security implementing procedure included several tasks that could not be

completed during peak protected area ingress periods. Additionally, we identified that you

changed one of your corrective action commitments to security activities without changing your

commitments to the NRC. The significance of the change is still under review.
