SUBJECT:
TROJAN 1993 EXERCISE OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS-This letter refers to your August 26, 1993, letter which forwarded the objectives and limitations for the 1993 annual exercise scheduled for November.
17, 1993. Since this is a biennial year, objectives and limitations for. the offsite agencies were also included in your submittal.
We have completed our review of the exercise objectives and limitations. The results were discussed during a September 2,1993, = telephone conversation between Ms. G. Good, of my staff,'and Mr. J. Co9per, of your staff.
I understand that all of our questions were satisfactorily explained.
WecontactedtheFederalEmergencyManagementAgency.(FEMA),RegionX,during our review. Mr. R. Donovan had no comments for us.to relay to you.
As indicated in your letter, approval of Portland General Electric's
~
Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) is anticipated-in the near future.-
Once the appropriate approvals are received, it will be necessary for you modify the objectives to be consistcnt with the PDEP. Since any modifications -
will also affect FEMA, we request that you keep Mr. Donovan. apprised of changing conditions.
Based on the results of our review, and pending any further~ changes, the exercise objectives and limitations for the 1993' exercise appear to be consistent with current emergency plan requirements and plant conditions.

S-SEP131993 Docket Number 50-344 2
Portland General Electric Company 121 S. W. Salmon Street Portland, Oregon 97204 Attention:
Mr. James E. Cross Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer
SUBJECT:
TROJAN 1993 EXERCISE OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS This letter refers to your August 26, 1993, letter which forwarded the objectives and limitations for the 1993 annual exercise scheduled for November 17, 1993. Since this is a biennial year, objectives and limitations for the offsite agencies were also included in your submittal.
We have completed our review of the exercise objectives and limitations. The results were discussed during a September 2,1993, telephone conversation between Ms. G. Good, of my staff, and Mr. J. Cooper, of your staff.
I understand that all of our questions were satisfactorily explained.
We contacted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region X, during our review. Mr. R. Donovan had no comments for us to relay to you.
As indicated in your letter, approval of Portland General Electric's Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) is anticipated in the near future.
Once the appropriate approvals are received, it will be necessary for you modify the objectives to be consistent with the PDEP. Since any modifications will also affect FEMA, we request that you keep Mr. Donovan apprised of changing conditions.
Based on the results of our review, and pending any further changes, the exercise objectives and limitations for the 1993 exercise appear to be consistent with current emergency plan requirements and plant conditions.
Sincerely, uhnal sgacc t,y Robert J. Pate, Chief Safeguards, Emergency Preparedness, and Non-Power Reactor Branch cc:
T. D. Walt, General Manager, Technical Functions R. Donovan, FEMA, Region X j y, g
