News Release LCUCI AN A P;WER A LIGHT

• PUBUC RE1.ATIONS DEPARTMENT,142 DELARONDE ST., NEW ORLEANS. LA. 70174

• TELEPHONE (504) 366-2345 Nims May 24, 1983 Contact Jim Fort at (504) 363-8827 Louisiana Power & Light Company's Waterford 3 exercise-for-score, echeduled for May 25, has been postponed at the. request of the State of Louisiana because of severe flooding conditions in the state.

This announcement was made today jointly by LP&L, the Nuclear R gulatory Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Louisiana Departments of Public Safety and Natural Resources.

Reason for the postponement is the existence of actual emergen-cies, due to heavy rains and flooding in the state. LP&L and the agencies stressed that, if a real emergency had existed at Waterford 3, the state would have responded as required. Had the exercise been held as scheduled, state emergency forces would have been required to participate in a mock drill at the expense of diverting their efforts from the real emergencies now occurring in Louisiana.

,- The exercise is one of the final requirements for LP&L to receive an operating license for Waterford 3, its nearly completed nuclear generating unit at Taft in St. Charles Parish.
