SUBJECT:

NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE SEQUOYAH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE OCTOBER 2008

Dear Mr. Campbell:

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission routinely participates in licensees= emergency preparedness exercises to ensure that the NRC=s 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 your Sequoyah Emergency Preparedness Exercise that is scheduled to occur on October 15, 2008. This matter was previously discussed with Barry Marks of the TVA staff. The extent of participation will only involve regional response staff.

The regional response will involve activating our Region II 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. The NRC outreach and training is offered to your staff 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).ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
