UNITED ST ATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Docket No. 50-354 Mr. R. L. Mittl, General Manager Nuclear Assurance & Regulation MAY O l 1985 Public Service Electric & Gas Company P.O. Box 570, T22A Newark, New Jersey 07101
Dear Mr. Mittl:
SUBJECT:
1985 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISES AT HOPE CREEK This responds to your letter of March 8, 1985, in which you described your plans for conducting emergency preparedness exercises at the Hope Creek Generating Station during 1985 and requested confirmation that the 1985 activities fully meet the emergency preparedness exercise requirements of both NRC and FEMA.
This response has been coordinated with FEMA and NRC Region I.
We have reviewed your 1985 plans for conducting exercises at Salem and Hope Creek and find that the conduct of the exercises as described in your letter of March 8, 1985 meets NRC and FEMA exercise frequency requirements for 1985.
Further,*we agree with your proposal to treat the two facilities as one site for emergency preparedness purposes. Please be advised that if you intend to conduct one annual exercise for both the Salem/Hope Creek sites in the future, it will be necessary to develop a comnion Salem and Hope Creek emergency plan for the site complex.
This plan will then meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Part IV.F.2.
It is our understanding that you propose to establish one site emergency plan following the issuance of the operating license for Hope Creek, currently scheduled for January 1986.
The Salem/Hope Creek 11Site Complex Plan 11 shall address all commitments currently made for both sites and describe overall corporate emergency planning~
... With regard to Hope Creek lice_n$_ing requirements, deficiencies that w_ouJd lead to a negative finding identified by FEMA in previous offsite emergency preparedness
. exercises at Salem must be corrected and satisfactorily demonstrated prior to operation of the Hope Creek facility above 5% of rated power.
In addition, the offsite radiological emergency p_lans scheduled for submission in April 1985 must be reviewed by FEMA Region 2 and the Regional Assistance Corrvnittee; a favorable FEMA finding on plans and preparedness is a prerequisite for operation of Hope Creek above 5% of rated power.
Your letter indicated that FEMA would not be observing the 1985 exercise involving participation by the State of New Jersey. For your information, FEMA has advised us that FEMA Region 2 would conduct full observation of New Jersey participation in the Salem/Hope Creek exercise scheduled for the Fall of 1985 if FEMA's ongoing evaluations result in a negative finding that is based on their observation of the April 1985 remedial exercise or is prompted by planning deficiencies which require an exercise to demonstrate correction.
