SUBJECT:
Joint Emergency Exercise Procedures
Dear Mr. Seyfrit:
We have reviewed your letter of July 14, 1981, jointly with the State, and in general we do not have any problems with procedure. We do, however, have the following comments.
1.
Conduct of an exercise of this magnitude is often influenced by many factors such as plant status, conditions in the State, as well as other factors.
It must be recognized that it may not be possible to predict the date of an exercise some three (3) months in advance. On this basis we can plan and schedule an exercise, but these plans and schedules must necessarily remain flexible.
sfl w f any requirement within the present Af N0 ' G1 t ons to obtain FEMA and NRC approval for e
scenarios, which is inferred by the instructions.
Ol: lk MFiggrtygply we do not have any major problem with submitting the scenario for review and comment, and we would consider those comments in finalizing the Q')/pE}@i}8 We do have problems, however, if those reviews and comments take the nature of mandatory requirements. Obviously excercises will be planned to test the emergency plan or those aspects of the emergency plan that the State and the Licensee feel are important within budgetary constraints and/or i
other constraints that may exist. The exercise will 0110200613 811015 PER ADOCK 05(hpO267 i

September 25, 1981 P-81239 be planned based on previous exercise critiques to maximize the benefit of the exercise, and in this light comments received from the NRC ano FEMA would be carefully considered in finalizing exercise plans.
The inference of final approval by FEMA and NRC, however, represents some concern to us in that such final approval appears to be beyond the scope of existing regulations.
We would appreciate receiving any clarification you can provide con-cerning our comments.
Very Truly Yours, A$ W 77Emw/
