Dear Mr. Spell:

.O I understand thar the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, which is considering the issuance of an operating license to Gulf States Utilities for.

the River- Bend Station, requested certain information concerning the contingency and security plans for the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. As you know, the prison is located approximately 18 miles from the River Bend Station.

We have completed our contingency planning for the. prison including plans for a total evacuation, if necessary.. For obvious reasons, these plans must be kept totally confidential. Our plans cover all eventualities including attempted escape and the necessity for reinforcement of personnel at the prison.

The Department of Corrections is confident that it can handle all situations at the prison successfully, including the prevention of any mass escape by inmates.

The State is confident that it can maintain __and . implement any necessary contingency plans at the ' prison during an emergency situation at ~ the- River- Bend- Station. We are requesting that you assure your - plans are written so that the Department of Corrections is notified of the declaration of_ an emergency at the River Bend Station which might require action on our part.

-Pago 2 When the State's River Bend emergency plans are at the appropriate state of development, please notify us so that we can work out any required details.

If I can be of further assistance to you in this matter, please let me know',
