SUBJECT:

NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE KEWAUNEE JUNE 2009 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE (PLUME PHASE ONLY)

Dear Mr. Christian:

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 Kewaunee Emergency Preparedness Exercise that is scheduled to occur on June 23, 2009. Currently, the extent of participation will only involve regional response staff.

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. The NRC outreach and training are 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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

D. Christian If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact Desiree Smith, Region III Emergency Response Coordinator at (630) 829-9853, Andrew Bramnik, Region III Emergency Response Specialist at (630) 829-9543, or myself at (630) 829-9827.

Sincerely,

/RA/
