9 NOV 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: Brian K. Grimes Director Division of Emergency Preparedness Of fice of Inspections and Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission FROM:
Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards
SUBJECT:
Status Report on the Zimmer Nuclear Power Station Offsite Emergency Preparedness Issues Attached are status reports from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Regions IV and V, on the verification of the Emergency Preparedness Completion Schedule submitted to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ( ASLB) as part of the Zimmer hearing record by the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company on March 3, 1982.
This status update is in response to your March 23, 1982, memorandum in which you requested that FEMA conduct a field verification to assure that standard operating procedures (50P's), communications equipment installation, and personnel training necessary for un ef fective offsite response have been completed.
In my April 22, 1982, memorandum to you, I stated that FEMA was preparing for the field verifications and projected a tentative completion date for the end of July 1982. Stone and Webster Engineering, the consultant preparing the offsite plans for both States, has not adhered to the schedule introduced into the hearing record and has been late submitting the 50P's, thereby creating delays in the FEMA Regional reviews.
At this time, the SOP's have been received from Stone and Webster Engineering and have been initially reviewed by both FEMA Regions. Several deficiencies have been identified in the SOP's by both Regional Of fices which will necessitate revisions oy the States, counties, and Stone and Webster Engineering.
Due to delays encountered with Ohio, Kentucky, the counties, and Stone and Webster Engineering, it is now our intention to complete the field verifications prior to and during the next scheduled exercise at Zimmer on June 7-8, 1983.
Personnel training and installation of communications equipment should be accomplished by the ctates in the next several months and will be reviewed and evaluated during the field verifications. Please note that the exercise was changed from November 1982 to June 1983 per request of the utility.
This has afforded additional time to the States to respond to our requests.

e Both Regional Offices, in conjunction with Headquarters, are developing procedures to be used for the field verifications to ensure a uniform approach.
This preparatory groundwork should be completed by the end of November 1982. FEMA has been proceeding in fulfillment of your March 3,1982, request, however, there has been some difficulty interpreting the request in light of the ASLB Initial Decision announced on June 21, 1982.
Since that decision does not say that the emergency preparedness completion schedule is relevant to granting a license (indeed, the decision does not even mention it), it is no longer clear what the objective is of conducting the field verification you requested.
Conversely, several areas where emergency planning and preparedness around the Zimmer Nuclear Power Station were questioned in the decision are not part of the completion schedule even though they apparently must be improved before a license will be granted. Clarification of your request for field verification in light of the ASLB Initial Decision would greatly help us meet your needs.
Please advise as soon as possible on this matter. Every ef fort possible by FEMA will be made in the interim to address the outstanding offsite emergency preparedness issues.
