Northern States Power Company 414 Nicollet Mall Minneapohs, Minnesota 55401 Telephone (612) 330-5500 July 26, 1983 C.J. Paperiello, Chief Emergency Preparedness and Radiological Safety Branch U.S. tbclear Regulatory Commission Region III 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137

Dear Mr. Paperiello:

M0?EICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLATE Docket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 Response to NRC Notice of Violation Letter Dated June 30, 1983 This letter is sent to you pursuant to Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice", Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations and in response to Inspection Report No. 50-263/83-13 which cited an apparent non-compliance with NRC requirements.

Description of Violation The requirement cited,10CFR71.12, states in part, that a licensee may deliver material for transport in a package for which an NRC certification of compli-ance has been issued provided the licensee complies with the terms and condi-tions of the certificate. The notice of violation further states that contrary to the above, temporary shielding which was not authorized in the terms and conditions of the NRC certificate of compliance was added to cask number FSV-1 for two shipments of radioactive material.

Admission or Denial Statement Uhile we did not consider our actions to be in non-compliance at the time, we now accept the interpretations of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguar/.s on the subj ect of temporary shielding.

Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved Corrective action specific to use of the FSV-1 cask has not been necessary because we have not used that packaging since this violation was brought to our attention. To prevent further non-compliance, the proper interpretation of the requirements has been discussed with plant management and the personnel respon-sible for conduct of radioactive material chipments.

~ July 26, 1983 i Corrective Steps to be Taken As an additional step, however, all existing shipping procedures will be reviewed and revised,~where appropriate, to provide precautionary notes on this subj ect. Also, measures will be taken to ensure that any new procedures are prepared following the same guidance.

With these actions, we believe full compliance has been achieved.

Respectfully,
