Gentlenen:

Haddam Neck Plant Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit Hon. 1 and 2 Saferuards Contingency Plan In References (1) and (2), the NRC Staff requested Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) and Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) to further revise their respective revised Safeguards Contingency Plans.

In each case, it was requested that Section 4.0, Responsibility Matrix, be modified to include specific detail as to who is responsible for what decisions or actions in responding to safeguards events. Also, in each case, attention was directed to Regulatory Guide 5.54 format.

Both CYAPC0 and UNECO are of the opinion that more detail in the Safeguards Contingency Plan for the respective sites is inappropriate.

The Plans are purposely generic in nature, with the specific details for implementation, i.e., how decisions are reached, what actions are carried out, and who is responsible for those decisions and actions, delineated in site-specific security procedures. These procedures are audited on a regular basis by NRC's Office of Inspection and Enforcement. Too much detail in the Plans could, in fact, be counter-productive by inhibiting changes made to facilitate smcather and more efficient execution of the generic Plans.

CYAPCO and NNECO acknowledge the Staff's desire to be certain that sufficient planning has been performed for each event in the Plans.

However, both licensees are convinced that this concern is adequately addressed by site-specific security procedures and that further revision of the site-specific Plans to include more detail is ill-advised.

4 CYAPCO and NNECO remain available to answer other questions on this topic should the Staff see the need.

Very truly yours, CONNECTICUT YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY NORTHEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY
