Dear Mr. Engelken:
gp In your letter dated July 1,1981 you requested that we provide the status of implmenting the prcmpt notifiatien systs required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3.
Tne prcnpt notification systs has i
not been installed for the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit No. 3.
Since the Htaboldt Bay Nuclear Unit has been shut drwn for five years (since July 1976), the decay heat in the reactor core is insufficient to cause fuel damage even if all cooling water is lost out of the reactor vessel.

If it is determined at that time that resumption of power operations is appropriate, we will provide a description of the pratpt notification systs to be installed.
Very ly yours, Y
