Safeguards Contingency Plan Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Commission Washington, D.C.
20555
Dear Mr. Denton:
This letter responds to Mr. A. Schwencer's letter of January 8,
- 1980, which we received on February 4, 1980.
Mr. Schwencer's letter contained your Staff's comments and requests for additional infor-mation on the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant Safeguards Contingency Plan.
As you know,.our plan was submitted to the NRC by the due date of March 23, 1979, almost one year ago.
At that time we believed that the Plan would be found acceptable because
- comments, recommen-
- dations, and guidance were received from the NRC Staff and incor-porated into the final submittal.
We now find, however, that the attachment to Mr. Schwencer's letter contains substantial comments and that it requests many changes be made to the plan; It should be noted that as requested by your Staff, the plan was written using guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 5.54 and developed to meet the 'requirements specified under 10 CFR Part 50.34 (d) and 50.54 (p),
10 CFR Parts 73.40 (a) (b) (c) (d), and 10 CFR Parts 73.50 (g) (1) and (2).as stated in 'the introduction to the plan.
Yet, it appears that the NRC Staff now believes that the plan does not adhere to the requirements of Sections 73.40 (c) and (d) and requests that specific commitments thereto be added to the plan.",
We fail to under-stand the reasons behind the Staff's conclusion since the comments re-ceived are not sufficiently specific.

Mr. Harold.
R., Denton, Di.'rector AEP:NRC:OOQ60A Also. under "General Comments,"
Mr. Schwencer's letter states the following:
"It should be borne in mi'nd that the plan as finally approved serves as a means of developing guidance for actions to be taken by members of your organi-zation during periods of emergency and possible con-fusion.
The plan and resulting procedures should therefore be expressed in clear-cut, direct, and logical terms."
We strongly agree with this comment and our plan, as submitted, does provide clear-cut guidance which would enable an efficient response to a security contingency.
Our plan was written by the people who would use it, namely our Plant security and operations personnel.
In li'ght of the above, we must request an extension of 45 days from the March 5, 1980 submittal date required by the NRC letter in order to resolve the issues, and make physical revisions if necessary.
Very truly yours, JED:em ohn E.
