[External_Sender] Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Flood Hazard Reevaluation Report - Response to Requested Information (CAC Nos. MF7710 and MF7711)

Date: Thursday, September 29, 2016 5:04:58 PM Ms. Gibson,

On August 18, 2016, a joint audit call was held between the NRC and Northern States

Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM), d/b/a Xcel Energy, related to the Prairie

Island Nuclear Generating Plant's (PINGP) Flood Hazard Reevaluation Report (FHRR)

(dated May 12, 2016; ADAMS Accession No. ML16133A030). This audit call was held in

accordance with the audit plan (ADAMS Accession No. ML16152A126). As a result of the

call, the NRC requested on August 30, 2016, that information be submitted on the docket

by October 28, 2016. The information request is repeated below along with a response to

the request.

Requested Information for Prairie Island

~ Local Intense Precipitation - General request related to HEC

-RAS modeling The schematic diagram (Figure 5.3.2-2 in LIP calculation package) shows a general

overview of the HEC-RAS modeling structure. However, detailed information about

where the river reaches receive their water from and what are the corresponding

drainage basins is missing. Review of the model shows that there is a total of 32

subbasins, 10 river reaches, and 18 storage areas, which should have more reach

boundary conditions (including the missing data for subbasin #205), storage area

boundary conditions, and connections between these features. However, none of these

conditions were specified or discussed in the FHRR or the LIP calculation package.

Please provide revised figure(s) to include all critical door opening locations, river

reaches, and cross section associated with each of the critical door locations using

appropriate annotations and legends.

Please send as a .jpeg or .tiff attachment to an e

-

mail. The e-mail and attachment will be docketed.

Northern States Power - Minnesota (NSPM) Response

Three (3) figures are attached, which provide the location of the critical door opening

locations, river reaches, and cross section associated with each of the critical door

locations including appropriate annotations and legends. The figures for this response

reflect corrections performed in Calculation 180461.51.1005, Revision 1, which is

discussed in a separate submittal supplementing the PINGP FHRR. The calculation

revision is provided to the NRC Staff for audit on DVD.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
