SUBJECT: NRC PRAIRIE ISLAND SECURITY INSPECTION REPORTS 50-282/97007

(DRS); 50-306/97007(DRS)

Dear Mr. Wadley:

I

On April 8,1997, the NRC completed an onsite inspection at your Prairie Island Nuclear l

Generating Plant. Additional in-office inspection was completed and Mr. Hutchinson of

your staff notified that there were no additional findings on April 28,1997. The enclosed

report presents the results of that inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the l

inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records, j

observations, and interviews with personnel.

The objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether activities authorized by

the license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.  !

No violations of NRC requirements were noted in the areas inspected. The Vehicle Barrier

System was effectively implemented. The NRC did however identify that a portion of the

Vehicle Barrier System did not have a completed engineering analysis.
