Dear Mr. Lynch:

On October 24, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2

. On October 24, 2013, the NRC inspector discussed the results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The inspector documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.

No NRC-identified or self

-revealing findings were identified during this inspection.

However, the inspector documented a licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low security significance (Green). The NRC is treating this violation as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3

.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the significance of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555

-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555
