Dear Ms. Pederson:

Enclosed is one copy of the Final Report for the December 9, 2014, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial-Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. Under separate cover, four copies of this report are being sent to the Wisconsin Emergency Management, REP Supervisor for distribution to the Counties of Kewaunee and Manitowoc, along with an additional copy for the State. The State of Wisconsin, the counties of Kewaunee and Manitowoc, and the utility owner/operator, Next Era Energy, participated in this exercise. The following is a summary of the exercise results, which are noted as issues.

There were no Deficiencies identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise. There were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Wisconsin and Manitowoc County during this exercise.

There was one new ARCA identified for Kewaunee County during this exercise. This was issued under Criterion 5.a. l, under activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner. This occurred when the Emergency Alert System message was incorrectly broadcasted following the sounding of sirens at the General Emergency declaration.

There were two ARCAs from a previous exercise identified for the State of Wisconsin and Manitowoc County which were successfully resolved during this exercise.

There were five Plan Issues identified for Kewaunee County and one for Manitowoc County identified during this exercise.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of the Final Report.
