Dear Mr. Russell:
Recently, Maine Emergency M=na-ement Agency (MEMA) was notiSed that a,
l Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region One personnel had 1
been temporarily reassigned to California to provide disaster assistance. Based j
O on an October 2Snl memorandum received from the Director, FEMA, Region 1 (copy enclosed), you will note that an observed exercise for " score" will not be i
l.
conducted in the near term.
l t
t i-Maine Emergency Mananoment Agency has recently initiated and/or participated in many radiological preparedness tests, drills and exercises, i
I.;
Specifically, this agency has:
j L:i -
A.
Participated in a two day Ingestion Pathway Exercise with Seabrook f
('
4 Station, N.H. in June 1988, and an Ingestion Pathway table tcp exercise with Maine Yankee in August 1989.
)
PI.
B.
Conduded training and a two hour table top exercise for all sixteen (16) local communities in the Maine Yankee Primary Emergency Planning Zone j
during the summer of 1989.
L C.
Conducted a day-long Plume Pathway Exercise on 25 October 1989 with.

Distributed over 500 tone alert radios to city / town organizations and private citizens within the Primary Planning Zone with special emphasis v
in the 0 5 mile area.

Improved dosimetry in the primary EPZ, 4h D.

E.
Developed checklist (s) for all members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT).
F.
Participated in many personnel trainite activities to improve professional ii radiological expertise.
j G.
Assisted in planning for the installation of twenty (20) additional fixed j-sirens to improve our Public Emergency Alerting System, h
u,!
In view of the activities cited above (both equipment and contingency planning
'j functions), the State of Maine considers that the radiological health and safety K
of those citirons residing in the Primary Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is 9-and can be adequately protected.
@P '.
We believe the lack of federal obserm a makes it impossible to successfully if conduct and evaluate a full scale exercise as originally planned, and we in!
therefore support Maine Yankee's request for an exemption of their requirement y
for this year. This agency will continue to plan for and conduct an off site exercise with Maine Yankee on Wednesday,15 November 1989.

i 4l Because FEMA Region I has committed a large number of its personnel including the bulk of its REP Team to assist disaster victims in Ifl various parts of the country, we will be unable to conduct the November 14, 1989 evaluation of the Maine Yankee fixed site.
Y Future evaluation activity will be coordinated with all interested i
