Dear Mr. Congel:

Enclosed;is a copy'.of the exercise report on the September.27,

'1988, offsite radiological emergency preparedness exercise for

'the Peach, Bottom ~ Atomic Power Station..

This was the sixth full-participation exercise : conducted at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.

Offsite participants included..the Commonwealth' of Pennsylvania' and.Chester, Lancaster and York Counties, as well as-their respective local jurisdictions;-and t

the State of. Maryland and y Cecil and Harford Counties.

This exercise report was prepared by the Region III office staff of T

the' Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The one deficiency identified.during this exercise occurred when officials of Harford

County, Maryland, ' failed to demonstrate the ' ability toL initially alert the public within the 10-mile Emergency. Planning Zone' l and failed to begin dissemination of'an' instructional message within 15-minutes of j

a decision.by appropriate county officials.

Correction of this deficiency was accomplished in a remedial exercise conducted on January.

24,

1989, at which time the' County officials F,

successfully ' demonstrated this capability..

'In addition, a

number of areas requiring corrective action were identified and j

'a schedule for those corrections is also included in this report.

Based on the results of the September 27,-1988, exercise and the January 24,

1989, remedial
exercise, the offsite radiological emergency preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to j

protect the-health and safety of the public in the event of an accident at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.
