DPR-42 50-306 DPR-60 Reactor Coolant Pump Trip Criteria In a letter dated May 7, 1986 we were provided with a report prepared by the NRC Staff related to the reactor coolant pump trip criteria i n p'i n ce at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in satisfaction of NUREG-0737, Item II.K.3.5.

Northern States Power Company was requested to confirm the information provided in this report and supply additional information related to fluid Jets / pipe whip and reactor coolant system pressure uncerte4nties.

The purpose of this letter is to supply the requested information.

Review of Staff Report The information provided in the May 7, 1986 NRC Staff evaluation has been reviewed.

The information presen-ted as " Prairie Island Responses" was found to be accurate.

Break Dynamic Effects on Pressure Instrumentation Each pressure sensor / transmitter train is located on a separate coolant loop.

Considerable physical separa-tion is provided by concrete shield and vault walls.

Additionally, the transmitters are located outside of their respective vaults.

The transmitters and cabling are " trained" in accordance with IEEE Class IE separa-tion criteria.

Calculation Uncertainty Values The Westinghouse analyses used bounding plant parame-ters.

Justification for the parameters that were used was provided in the owners group reports and was re-viewed and found acceptable to the NRC Staff.

These reports justified the choice of the bounding plant parameters, discussed the difference between plant specific parameters, and justified the choice of the bounding plant.

A specific " uncertainty" value was not (7

computed for each Westinghouse plant.
