SUBJECT:
NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE WATTS BAR OCTOBER 2011 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE
Dear Mr. Krich:
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 Watts Bar Emergency Preparedness Exercise that is scheduled to occur on October 19, 2011, which was previously discussed with Walter Lee of the Tennessee Valley Authority Emergency Preparedness 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. Additionally, if requested by the state of Tennessee, we will have an NRC participant at the state Emergency Operations Center. 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 discussions and meetings to address any questions or concerns related to our participation.
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).
If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact Steve Rudisail at (404) 997-4512.
Sincerely,
/RA/
