SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT

MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Palmisano:

On March 6, 2006, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. This inspection will be performed in

accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures IP 71111.02 and IP 71111.17. The

on-site portion of the inspection will take place on March 6 through March 10, 2006, and

March 20 through March 24, 2006.

Experience has shown that these baseline inspec tions are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the

site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for

documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups.

The first group is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the

inspection. This information should be available to the Regional Office by no later than

February 13, 2006. The inspection team will review this information and, by February 17, 2006, will request specific items that should be available for review by February 24, 2006. The second

group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or

need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents in Group II.(1) will be requested for

review in the Regional Office the week prior to the inspection. The remaining documents should

be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, March 6, 2006. The third group lists

information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the

inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the

information is generated during the inspection. It is important that all of these documents are

up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested

during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. James Neurauter. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Jeff Kivi (651) 388-1121 extension 4120 of your

organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9828 or via e-mail at JEN@nrc.gov.T. Palmisano In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public

Document Room or from the Publicly Ava ilable Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at
