c NOV 04 ins 6 Docket No. 50-282 Docket No. 50-306 Northern States Power Company ATTN: Mr. C. E. Larson Vice President, Nuclear 414 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN 55401 Gentlemen:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated August 28, 1986 which transmitted changes to the Northern States Power Company's Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Emergency Plan (Revision 6).

We have completed our review of the submitted changes and have determined that they are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and do not decrease the effectiveness of the plan. However, as discussed by -

Mr. N. Williamsen of my staff with Mr. T. Asmus of Prairie Island on October 14, 1986, there are two areas where improvements should be made in the next revision to the Emergency Plan:

1. There are nine or more places in the Emergency Action Levels (Section 4) where better consistency with indenting, etc. would improve readability, especially under the duress of an emergency. One such readability problem begins on Page 4-17, where it is difficult to ascertain which subheading "A" is completed by which "B" on Page 4-18.

2. On Page 4-39, the EAL for NUE for contaminated-injured persennel has the added requirement of an injury that is " serious", whjch is defined as 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> in the hospital. This 48-hour requirement, as well as the appellation " serious", should be eliminated since they are contrary to the guidance of NUREG-0654, Revision 1.

Please be reminded that 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires NRC approval of any changes to your plan which may decrease the effectiveness of the plan. However, if your safety review indicates no decrease in emergency preparedness effectiveness, then changes can be made without prior NRC approval. In all cases, you must furnish copies of each proposed change to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). Also, any changes to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures should be made in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section V (Implementing Procedures).
