                     . i Pursuant to your request, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) is L
submitting the following response under oath or affirmation.
VCSNS is reporting facility readiness as outlined in Supplement 1 to Generic Letter 98-01. The Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure for VCSNS, reporting the 1          ,
status of facility Y2K readiness follows.
South CarokhaDectiic & Cos(o VirgiK summer tbdear 5tson                    This year 2000 readiness disclosure is made for VCSNS under the " Year 2000 P 0.Bsaa~
Jedinsvine, south Carolina Information and Readiness Disclosure Act"(Public Law 105-271).
29065 This disclosure addresses the Y2K readiness of the facility with regard to those 803.345A344 systems within the scope of the license, NRC regulations, and other systems 803.345 5209 required for continued operation of the facility after January 1,2000. A facility mvnenam                                       that is "Y2K Ready" has followed a prescribed program to identify and resolve
                                  '.; Y2K issues so the facility can operate reliably while meeting commitments.
VCSNS has conducted a year 2000 readiness program similar to that outlined          \D 1        in Nuclear Utility Year 2000 Readiness, NEl/NUSMG 97-07. The program applies to software, hardware and firmware whose failure due to a Y2K problem would prevent the performance of the safety function of a structure, system, or component. Additionally, the program applies to any software, hardware, or          s o
        ,                                       firmware whose failure due to a Y2K problem would prevent continued y                      ,      operation of the nuclear facility well beyond December 31,1999. The facility program also includes identifying and, where appropriate, remediating embedded systems. The program provided for risk management efforts and development of contingency plans for key rollover dates.
                                                                       ~

4 Docum:nt Control D sk LTR 980002 RC-99-0114 Page 2 of 2 The Y2K readiness program has been completed for those systems required for operation of the VCSNS. To the best of my knowledge and belief VCSNS is "Y2K Ready." Further, contingency plans have been developed to mitigate the impact of Y2K-induced events at key rollover dates.
