UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 February 6, 2014 Mr. Ernest Harkness Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Perry Nuclear Power Plant P. O. Box 97, 10 Center Road, A-PY-A290 Perry, OH 44081-0097
SUBJECT:
NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1, SEPTEMBER 2014 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE (HOSTILE ACTION-BASED)
Dear Mr. Harkness:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 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 Perry Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Preparedness Exercise scheduled to occur on September 23, 2014. Currently, the extent of participation will only involve regional response staff.
During the exercise, the NRCs response will involve activating the Region III Incident Response Center and sending an NRC Site Team, including the resident inspectors, to your facilities. If our scope of participation changes, we will contact your emergency preparedness staff to discuss the changes. We will coordinate with your staff to schedule a pre-exercise outreach presentation. The emergency response coordinators will conduct the presentation and provide training materials to assist your staff in exercising with the NRC. The NRC outreach efforts, conducted by my staff, are tools 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).
E. Harkness If you have any questions concerning our participation, please contact Ms. Desiree Smith, Region III Emergency Response Coordinator at (630) 829-9853, or I can be reached at (630) 829-9827.
Sincerely,
/RA/
