SUBJECT:
Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos.1 & 2; Docket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Rerponse to Generic Letter 98-01," Year 2000 Readiness of Computer Systems at Nuclear Power Plants" The purpose of this letter is to respond to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's request for information regarding year 2000 (Y2K) readiness at nuclear power plants. Generic Letter 98-01 requires two responses. The first response was required by August 10,1998, and the second response by July 1,1999.
This letter prov; des the first response. Because of an oversight, our response is late. This delay was discussed with the NRC Project Manager, Mr. G. S. Vissing, on August 11,1998, after the oversight was discovered.
Requirement One:
"Within 90 days of the date of this generic letter, submit a written response indicating whether or not you have pursued and are continuing to pursue a Y2K program such as, or similar to, that ontlined in NEl/NUSMG 97-07, [ Nuclear Utility Year 2000 Readiness], augmented appropriately in the areas of risk management, contingency planning, and remediation of embedded systems.
If your program significantly differs from the NEI/NUSMG guidance, present a brief description of the programs that have already been completed, are being conducted, or are planned to ensure Year 2000 readiness of the computer systems at your facility (ies). This response must address the program's scope, assessment pmcess, plans for corrective actions (ir.cluding testing and schedules), QA [ quality assurance] measures, contingency plans, and regulatory compliance."
Response One:
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company has pursued and is continuing to pursue a Y2K readiness program similar to that outlined in NEI/NUSMG 97-07.

The facility program includes identifying and where appropriate, remediating embedded systems. The program provides for risk management efTorts and :he development of contingency plans i
prior to critical dates.
