February 19, 2004 Mr. Bruce S. Mallett Regional Administrator U.S. NRC, Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400 Arlington, TX 76011-4005

Dear Mr. Mallett:

Enclosed is copy of the radiological emergency preparedness final report for the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) plume pathway exercise conducted on November 19, 2003.

One Deficiency, two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs), and one planning issue were identified during the exercise. The Deficiency was corrected during a remedial drill on January 26, 2004, and the write-up is included in this final report. The ARCAs will be corrected at the next biennial exercise. The planning issue is included in the report as Appendix 6.

Based on the results of this exercise and the remedial drill, the off-site radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Texas and the affected local jurisdictions are deemed adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Therefore, 44 CFR Part 350 approval of the off-site radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Texas site-specific to CPSES will remain in effect.

A copy of this report was provided electronically to Mr. Eric Weiss at NRC Headquarters.

Should you have questions, please contact Lisa R. Hammond, Region VI Regional Assistance Committee Chair, at 940-898-5199 or Marilyn Boots at 940-898-5122.

Sincerely, Ron Castleman Regional Director Enclosure cc:
