,o Mr. Jack J. Kenrns Radiologien1 Defense Officer Office of Emergency Services Stato of California P. O. Box 9577 Sacramento, California 95823 Dent Jack:
We are in the process of reviewing the California Radiological Emergency Response Plans but are not certain that we have all of the current or necessary docir,cnts.
In December of last year, we wrote to the Governor lintfne the documents we have on file and asking if they vare current or obsolete, and alco requesting any additional radiological emergency planning doeurnents. We also requested that the State furnish us with the name of the responsible agency for radiological etaergency planning and the agency with a principal supporting role. We further asked for M
the names of the individuals who were responsible for these agencies.
We received no reply from the Covernor's office, and would appreciate your nanisting in obtnining the requested information.
Enned upor our review of the documents that we have, it is obvious that you have put a lot of tine and effort into developing a general emergency response plan for California. Hovover, as stated in your letter to Charles Warren on May 1, 1974, the draft Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Pesponso Plan (May 1974) is not complete. Basically, it is only a list of responnibilities that must be " fleshed out" into a plan. You indicated i
in that letter that a schedule would be made for completing the response plan for nuclear power plant emergencies, and that other agencies had been contacted regarding their role. If possible, vs would appreciate receivine a copy of this schedule and any further drafts and local plans that are nynilable.
As you are aware, our office published a " Guide and Chncklist for Derelop-ment and Evaluntion of State and Local Governrnent Radiological Emergency Response Plans in Support of Fixed Huclear Facilities" in December 1974.
In reviewing the California energency planning documents against this Guido and Checklist, we believe that areas auch as accident assessment, protective responno, radiological exposure control, and medical and public henith, described in the Guide and Checklist, have not been sufficiently addreened. We believe you should consider addressing these areas in your
~
plan.

la We are also concerned by reports in various newspapers last year which stated that "no one nr.ency(within California) would be in charge."
We are aware that you have been trying to alleviate this situation, but
=
are not nuarc if, in fe,et, the issue has been resolved. One reason for our concern is the Inck of response from the. Governor on this very quentfon.
l'e believe, ns you do, that it in of the utmost importance to have one ar.cncy with the prime responsibility to develop and maintain an emerr.cncy plan, a
We understnnd that tente.tive arrangements have been mada for a visit to Californin by the Federal Interagency Field Training Cadre either late y
this eumer or early f all.
In the meantime, we would like to be of further e
nenistance in thene natters and urge you to call upon us.
Sincerely, on-in it s, n...I t,y Jim.M l. f..!!j ns Ilarold E. Collins f
