Emergency response-James Gerweck, Richardson County Good afternoon, many thanks to the NRC for hosting this public forum. I'm James Gerweck. I am the Director of the Richardson County, Nebraska, Emergency Management Agency. In my position, hardly a month has gone by where some form of interchange has not transpired between the Cooper Nuclear Station's Emergency Management Department and other nuclear operations staff and my office in Richardson County.

The referenced activities included quarterly emergency communications drills, unannounced communications checks, written correspondence involving improvements in emergency plans and training in many forms to include FEMA evaluated radiological emergency preparedness exercises. Other joint training activities include NPPD staff involvement and annual training of our radiological emergency response organization and our joint quarterly off-site training meetings.

Cooper Nuclear Station has fully demonstrated its ability to provide safe and reliable electricity for the citizens of the State of Nebraska. Richardson County has supported CNS in its offsite responsibilities to protect the public and property for many years and is glad to be a part of the team that supports nuclear power.

The bottom line in our realm of experience, the staff at the NPPD and Cooper Nuclear Station is thoroughly professional and meticulous in attention to detail concerning their approach to public safety. In short, they are fully integrated and a key member of our

/e7~

public safety team and in view of their professional performance and contributions to our community, and we support the NPPD's application to continue operating at Cooper Nuclear Station for another 20 years.

In closing, Richardson County is proud to have CNS in the Richardson County area.

Thank you.
