Dear Mr. Collins:

The final exercise report for the November 17,2004, full-participationplume pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station is attached. This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness for the State of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's portions of the Emergency Planning Zone. The State of New Hampshire, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 17 New Hampshire EPZ communities and six Massachusetts communities participated in the exercise.

The final exercise report was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region I staff. Copies of this report will be forwarded to the State of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

There were no Deficiencies identified during the exercise. There were, however, nine Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified in New Hampshire and six ARCAs identified in Massachusetts. Region I staff will coordinate with the State of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to correct the ARCAs on or before the next scheduled biennial exercise.

Based on the results of the November 17,2004, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of New Hampshire, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and their affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

If you should have any questions, please contact Deborah Bell, RAC Chair, at 6 17-832-4744.

Acting Regional Director
