Dear Mr. Wadley:
SUBJECT:
NRC PRAIRIE ISLAND RADIATION SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT
50-282/99011(DRS); 50-306/99011(DRS)
On August 20,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear
Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The results of this inspection were discussed on August 20,
1999, with Mr. T. Amundson and other members of your staff. The enclosed report presents -
the results of that inspection.
'
The inspection was an examination of activities under your license as they relate to radiation
protection and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the
conditions of your license. Within those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
,
examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observation of activities in progress. Specifically, this inspection focused on the implementation
of your radioactive waste processing and shipping programs and the radiological environmental
monitoring program.
During this inspection, the NRC identified one issue of low safety significance that has been
entered into your corrective action program and is discussed in the summary of findings and in
the body of the attached inspection report. This issue was determined to involve a violation of
NRC requirements, but because of its low safety significance the violation is not cited, if you
contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this
inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional
Administrator, Region Ill; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident inspector at the Prairie
Island Nuclear Generating Plant.
I
In addition to the above, the inspection included a review and evaluation of current occupational
f
and public radiation safety Performance Indicators for the first and second quarters of 1999. All
l
,
Performance indicators were green in these comerstones. The records that we reviewed
'[
.
supported the data which had been reported by your staff.
-
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.7M cf the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure, and your response to this letter, if you should choose to respond, will be placed in
the NRC Public Document Room.
