Dear Mr. Dean:

Enclosed is a copy of the Final Report for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Plume Biennial Exercise that was conducted on March 21, 2013.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local emergency response organizations successfully demonstrated their capabilities to implement offsite radiological emergency response plans and procedures based on the evaluation by a team of Federal evaluators with final determinations made by the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC) Chairperson. There were no deficiencies and two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA 's) identified during the exercise: ARCA 48 l cl -A-01 (open) and ARCA 48- l3-3bl -A-02 (closed due to successful re-demonstration during the exercise). Also ARCA 48 1cl -A-02 from the previous exercise is now resolved.

State and local preparedness remains adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station and provides reasonable assurance that appropriate ._

measures can be taken off-site in the event of a radiological emergency.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (617)-832-4731 or Taneeka Hollins, Pilgrim Site Specialist at (617)-956-7523.

Sincerely,

/:.A-1.?W<A--.
