Mr. W. G. Counsil g

Senior Vice President f

Northeast Utilities P.O. Box 270 Hartford, CT 06101

Dear Mr. Counsil:

I am writing in response to your February 9 and March 25, 1982 letters requesting the Commission to reconsider your extension request for implementation of prompt notification systems at the Haddam Neck and Millstone facilities.

When your initial request for exemption was denied, due consideration was given to the effort you had applied in complying with the rule and the problems you encountered.

However, from the schedules for implementation that were provided to the NRC, it appears that the degree of diligence applied was not adequate to complete the task.

The Commission sees no adequate basis for disturbing the decision not to grant an extension. Although not granting ycur extension request, the NRC will consider your correspondence regarding prompt notification systems and the problems you have encountered in determining how much, if any, of the civil penalty should be mitigated.

The Commission notes that the only other system in the U.S. which has not already been completed is projected for completion this month, four months oefore completion of the Northeast Utilities systems.

We urge you to accelerate your current schedule for installation and testing so that your systems will be operational before your projected schedule of August 1982.

Sincerely, f

'h ^4M dhth M f
