Mr. John Ahearne, Chairman l
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission 1717 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.
20555 EFi
Dear Mr. Ahearne:
~ y=y The Maine Bureau of Civil Emergency Preparedness has been actively 7
engaged in preparing a Radiological Incident Plan regarding the Maine h
Yankee nuclear generating facility for the past nine menths.
The criginal " draft submission", developed and submitted to your office en 31 Cecember 1979, reflected and contained data whicn v.as in accordance with previous Nuclear Regulatory Commission guidelines.
~
Approximately five weeks subsequent to submission, NUREG 0654/ FEMA-REP-1
'i+
" Criteria for Precaration and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency
~"
Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants",
was received by the Maine Bureau of Civil Emergency Preparedness.
This document contained additional requirements and guidelines heretofore not required.
This " proposed interim guidance" will recuire that additional modifications be incorocrated with the " plan" if the State of Maine is to receive " concurrence" frem the federal government.
I..
Concurrently, NUREG 0654/ FEMA-REP-1 requires that numer0us elements of Maine State Government purchase radiological detection and protection equipment in an effort to subscribe to federal requirements.
It should
+!-
be noted that none of these requirements were programmed within the existing State of Maine budget, and I understand that the likelihood of receiving financial assistance frcm the federal government is considered minimal.
l In an effort to provide uniform guidance to the State of Maine and all other states engaged in similar projects, I woul_d urce that all.
f federal guidance in connection with drafting peacetime nuclear contingency plans for fixed nucl. ear. facilitids'5e Wpleted and F
l promulgated in. an exceditious manner. Additionally, the final design objectives /recuirements should' provide sufficient latitude to ensure w
_~~~
that all states have reasonable expectations of accomplishing the cperational cbjectives within a realistic time frame.
Sincerely, i
