Dear Director:

.l l()

The Emergency Preparedness Board'of DouglasCou'nty, Kansas, has asked me to respond to your invitation for public comments on the Draft Environmental: State-ment related to the operation of Wolf Creek Generation Station 'at.Burlington._

The prevailing wind pattern in this part of the state places Douglas Co'unty and its watershed directly in the prevailing wind pattern during much of the year.

We fear that our location will expose our county to radioactive particles which '

could be carried by the wind.

The Douglas County Emergency Preparedness Board has asked me to request that the county be included in the Emergency Preparedness Plan Provision for " appropriate ranges of protective actions, provisions for rapid notification of the public in serious reactor emergency, and methods, assistance, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential off-site consequences in the emergency planning zones of a radiological emergency condition."

As portions of the county are within 50 miles of the plant, we believe it is important and prudent for the County Emergency Preparedness office to be a part of the overall Emergency Preparedness Plan and have the benefit of immediate notification of any emergency so that our citizens can be warned. We ask that the fluclear Reculatory Commission make certain that the Emergency Preparedness Plan is completed well in advance of the fuel loading dates so that Douglas County and the public can have time to comment on their perceptions of its workability.
