l Gentlemen:

This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. Anil S. Gautam

and other NRC representatives of this office on November 17 through December 2,

l 1986, of activities at Prairie Island Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2,

authorized by NRC License No. DPR-42 and DPR-60 and to the discussion of our

'

findings with Mr. Gary Sundberg at the conclusion of the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

Although the inspection determined that you have implemented a ' program to meet

the requirements of 10 CFR 50.49, two sigr.ificant deficiencies in the program

implementation were observed. These findings are classified as Potential  :

Enforcement / Unresolved Items and an ongoing NRC review is being performed

to evaluate the findings in regard to possible future enforcement action.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC

Public Document Room.

I

We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this ins?ection.

. Sincerely,
