w SFP 2 3 E5 Docket No. 50-282 Docket No. 50-306 Northern States Power Company ATTN: Mr. C. E. Larson Director of Nuclear Generation 414 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN '55401 Gentlemen:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated July 15, 1985 which transmitted changes to the Northern States Power Company's Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Emergency Plan (Revision 5).

We have completed our review of the submitted changes and have determined that they are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and do not decrease the effectiveness of the plan. We noted that you have. included a description of plant environs and radiological monitoring drills as well as monthly communications checks with the NRC in Section 81.2 of the Emergency Plan. These changes were recommended by us in our review of the Revision 4 of the Emergency Plan as documented in our letter of August 27, 1984.

Please be reminded that 10 CFR 50.54(q) requires NRC approval of any changes to your plan which may decrease the effectiveness of the plan. However, if your safety review indicates no decrease in emergency preparedness effective-ness, then changes can be made without prior NRC approval. In all cases, you must furnish copies of each proposed change to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). Also, any changes to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures should be made in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section V (Implementing Procedures).

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commissions regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
