Gentlemen:

Haddam Neck Plant inspectian Report No. 50-213/86-05 During the period February 24-28, 1986 an inspection was conducted at Northeast Utilitics' corporate offices m Berlin, Connecticut and at the Haddam Neck Plant in Haddam, Connecticut by members of your of fice. Reference (1) transmitted the report of this inspection. One of the findings stated in this report is not entirely correct. Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company is taking this opportunity to correct an apparent misunderstanding documented in the inspection report, Specifically, section 2.4, Findings, an page 4 of Inspection Report No. 50-213/86-05 states:

" Complete modification packages rather than the safuty evaluations are reviewed by the committee prior to declarin,g the modified system or component operational."

The Committeee referred to in the above excerpt is the Haddam Neck plant Nuclear Review Board (NRB).

The NRB does indeed review complete modification packages; however, this function of the NRB is gggessarily performed prior to declaring the modified system or component operational. Performance of ;his function b in accordance with Technical Specification 6.5.2.

We note that the above excerpt is correct with respect to the Plant operations Review Committee (PORC). The PORC has the responsibility for reviewing modification packages prior to declaring tire system operational.
