SUBJECT:

EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM (ERDS)

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has amended its regulations to require licensees of all operating nuclear power facilities, except Big Rock Point, to participate in the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) program. The amended regulation 6:, in part, require ea::h licensee to develop and submit an ERDS implementation program plan to the NRC by October 28, 1991. Attachments "A" and "B" to this letter provide the program plans for Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. Please note that attachments "A" and "B" represent a proposed program plan (and schedule) and the dates provided should not be construed as NRC commitments. Niagara Mohawk does intend to complete implementation of the ERDS by February 13, 1993.

^9 Meteorological Computer, a Vax 4000. Presently, these systems are not connected. The implementation at NMP1 will involve the installetion of a network linking the two computers. it will then be possible to collect, format and transmit the dats from op- ource. The Personal Computer (PC) based ERDS interface developed by the NRC ERDS implementation contractor .,

will be used for this purpose, ,'
