....n u.,

May 7, 1979 Mr. Stephen N. Salomon State Programs Officer Office of State Progra=s U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Salomon:

I have reviewed your "Beyond Defense-in-Depth" report resulting from your trip to several states and will coc=ent briefly on those you reported on in the Eastern part of Wisconsin, namely the Kewaunee County Plant and Point Beach 1 5 2 in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.

On page II-88 I assu=e that you knew that at Kewaunee the " director plus two staff" are paid part-ti=e.

The "all volunteers" are support in their annual exercise numbering a total of about 60, =ostly volunteer, to conduct their annual exercise. The no funding statement is correct in that the director and staff are paid,but the exercise for evacuation as the result of a simulated nuclear plant accident is part of their total planning, i.e. floods, tornado, etc., rSere-fore they do act consider it as separate or additional expense.

Kewaunee County is now engaged in expanding the area of evacuation.

In reference to Point Beach 1 & 2 plants, a director has been hired and is making plans to deal with a possible incident or accident.

In addition, our two Division of E=ergency 2vernment NCR Planners (Civil Defense - Wisconsin) have had a request submitted by our administrator to amend their federal contract to assist in the planning effort; evacuation, congregate care centers, etc.

I just wanted to up-date those two ite=s.

The rest seems to be in line, Sincerely,

-[
