Yankee Atomic Electric Company 20 Turnpike Road Westboro, }kssachusetts 01581 Re: Price-Andersca Act Retrospective Insurance Premiums

Dear Sirs:

You have advised us that:, pursuant to the provisions of the 1975 Amendments to the Price-Anderson Act and'to the regulations promulgated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") to implement 1

that statute, you are required, as the holder of an NRC Operating License, to demonstrate to the NRC your ability to pay on a timely basis the maximum annual assessment of $10,000,000 for potential deferred retrospective premiums.

In this connection, you have entered into separate binder agreements, dated as of August 1, 1977, under the Master Policy - Nuclear Energy Liability Policy (Secondary Financial Protection) with each of the two groups of insurance companies providing such' insurance, by which binders you have obligated yourself to pay any such deferred retrospective premium assess =ent.

We, along with your other sponsors, have endorsed upon those binders our several obligations to pay our respective percentage of those assessments if you fail to pay such sums when due.

This letter confirms our understanding with you that any such retrospective premium assessment when assessed by the NRC, or by the insurance groups' acting on its behalf, would constitute one of your

~

" operating expenses" within the meaning of the Power Contract, dated June 30, 1959, as revised April 1,1975, between you and each of us.

As such, our respective percentage of those assessments would be properly billable by you and payable by us'in accordance with our respective Power Contract.

i We understand that you will deliver a copy of this letter to the NRC in connection with their evaluation of your ability to meet your retrospective premium obligations and that the NBC will be relying upon this confir=ation in connection with that evaluation.
