NMC Committed to Nuclear Excellence Nuclear Management Company, LLC Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant 1717 Wakonade Dr. East Welch MN 55089 February 15, 2002 10 CFR Part 50 Section 50.90 U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Docket Nos. 50-282 License Nos. DPR-42 50-306 DPR-60 Supplement to License Amendment Request dated December 11, 2000 Conversion to Improved Technical Specifications (ITS)

By letter dated, December 11, 2000, Prairie Island submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) to convert the current Technical Specifications (CTS) using the guidance of NUREG-1431, Revision 1 as amended by NRC and industry Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) documents. This letter supplements the subject LAR.

By letter dated December 19, 2001, the NRC Staff sent NMC requests for additional information (RAIs) regarding our LAR dated December 11, 2000 to convert to Improved Technical Specifications. Attachment 1 to this letter contains the NRC RAIs for ITS Section 3.4, "Reactor Coolant System", and the Nuclear Management Company (NMC) answers to these RAIs.

NMC also proposes to make the review changes and corrections, identified as E22, E24, E27, E32 and E33. Changes designated E22 clarify the dual role of containment vacuum breakers as requested by the NRC staff. Changes designated as E24 restore the clause, "to perform preplanned work activities" to Specification 3.4.5 LCO Note. Changes designated E27 delete TSTF-153 from Section 3.4 since this TSTF was withdrawn by the NRC. Changes designated as E32 provide the resolution of all remaining issues on Section 3.6, including RAIs 3.6.8-02, 3.6.8-03, 3.6.8-05 and 3.6.8-06. Changes designated as E33 provide resolution of Specification 3.4.12 and 3.4.13 issues raised in meetings with the NRC staff on January 16, 2002.
