Docket 50-344 1
License NPF-1 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document. Control Desk Washington DC 20555 i
Dear Sirst Response to Request for Information Regarding.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Observations of the November 15. 1989 Trojan EmerRency Preparedness Exercise By letter dated August 1,1990, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested a response confirming actions planned or taken to correct-the-five i
deficiencies identified by FEMA during the Trojan Emergency preparedness j
Exercise on November 15, 1989.
Four of the deficiencies were in Cowlitz county, Washington, and one was assigned to the State of Oregon. This letter describes actions taken to address these deficiencies.
In Cowlitz County, FEMA identified deficiencies in the way protective actions were determined, road blocks were established, and emergency broadcast messages were announced.
In response to these deficiencies Portland Ceneral Electric Company (PCE) hired, in February 1990, a contractor to work directly with Cowlitz County to rewrite the Sheriff / Director Cowlitz County procedures in a checklist format and to script and prerecord EBS messages for each emergency clasnification.
In addition, procedures for the Sheriff, Operations Croup Chief, Washington State Patrol, Kelso Police Department, County Public i
Works, and Sheriff's Office =have been revised to prioritize roadblocks and to clearly define roadblocks for the 5-mile and 10-mile locations.
Responsibility for each roadblock was clearly assigned.
Training in the evised procedures was completed in June and July 1990.
A FEMA-ovaluated remedial drill was conducted on July 24,'1990 which demonstrated that the changes made addressed the deficiencies.

August 28, 1990 Pane 2 The Oregon deficiency required improving field team communication from the Trojan Emergency Operations Facility.
Six cellular phones have been.nade i
available for field team use. In addition, the existing field team radios for Oregon Health have been upgraded'to 100 walls, and three remote receivers will be installed to improve the field team radio reception in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone.
In addition to addressing these FEMA deficiencies, PGE has established a closer working relationship with the states and counties by forming a 1
Trojan Steering Committee within Washington modeled after the existing steering committee in Oregon. The steering committees'in Oregon and
-l Washington provide a forum to monitor progress in offsite planning areas and to identify areas requiring PGE assistance. 'PGE has recently assisted Clark County, Washington in improving their assistance center.' The.
assistance center was relocated, procedures revised, personnel trained, and
.l the improvements were tested on June 23, 1990.in a FEMA evaluated drill, i
The'results showed the improvements were effective.
PGE will continue to work through the steering committees to ensure an effective offsite
~
emergency plan is in place.
Sincerely, j
