Dear Mr. Parmenter:

Re: Corrective Actions Criterion to be Demonstrated The following are provided as the exercise requirements for the Remedial exercise at the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant on January 26, 2010 and will be evaluated by FEMA staff.

The requirements set forth herein are those IN ADDITION to the 5.b.1 generic extent of play criteria to be demonstrated. The following requirements clarify, modify or extend those 5.b.1 generic criteria to be demonstrated.

EVALUATION AREA 5: EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION & PUBLIC INFORMATION Sub-element 5.b - Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media Criterion 5.b.1: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654, E. 5.,7., G.3.a.,G.4,a.,b.,c.)

At least one evaluator will be assigned at each of the following locations:

The State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Callaway County Emergency Management Agency, and the EAS station (KTXY), to evaluate the demonstration of procedures and capability for notification in a timely manner to the Public.

The following basic elements should be included for demonstration:

1. The ability of the State and County to coordinate the decision for Protective Actions and the activation of the sirens, after the receipt of the sentry message.

2. Actual contact with the EAS station and dissemination of the messages to the radio station must be demonstrated in a timely manner.

3. The procedures for siren activation must be demonstrated up to the point of actual activation.

4. Actual siren activation will be simulated. In addition, tone alert radio activation will be simulated by the EAS station, Radio station KTXY, and documented.

Actual receipt of the messages from the appropriate County EOC or the State EOC must be demonstrated and documented.

Following receipt of the message at the station, procedures to record and broadcast the message simultaneously must be fully demonstrated up to the point of transmission.

Actual broadcast of the messages or EAS test messages is not required.

The FEMA evaluator will remain at each location until the termination of the exercise to observe receipt and broadcast procedures for the EAS message.

Copies of the EAS message will be provided to each of the evaluators at the conclusion of the exercise.

Successful demonstration of the above should result in the Deficiency being closed.

If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact Judy Dodgen, Callaway Site Specialist, at (816) 283-7091.
