SUBJECT:

NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE BYRON JUNE 2007 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE

Dear Mr. Crane:

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission routinely participates in licensees emergency preparedness exercises to ensure that the NRCs Incident Response capabilities are effectively maintained and to provide licensees an opportunity to exercise the interface with the NRC that may occur during the response to an incident at their sites. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our intent to participate in the Byron Emergency Preparedness Exercise that is scheduled to occur on June 20, 2007. Currently, the extent of participation will include Region III response staff only.

The Regional response will involve activating our Region III Incident Response Center and sending an NRC Site Team, including our resident inspectors, to your facilities. If our scope of participation changes, we will contact your emergency preparedness staff to discuss the changes. We will also be coordinating with your staff to schedule pre-exercise outreach presentations and training opportunities given by our emergency response coordinators. NRC outreach and training is provided in order to further reinforce concepts related to NRC incident response activities.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS),

accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

C. Crane If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact one of our emergency response coordinators, Ryan Alexander at 630-829-9853, or Michelle Garza at 630-829-9719, or myself at (630) 829-9757.

Sincerely,

/RA/
