Cole Administrative Judge U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 In the Matter of Philadelphia Electric Company (Limerick Generating Station, Units I and 2)
Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353
Dear Administrative Judges:
On December 6, 1983 we wrote to the Board, with copies to the service list, regarding our review of the draft off-site Radiological Emergency Response Plans for Limerick Generating Station and their subse-quent distribution by Philadelphia Electric Company to the Board, the intervenors and the City of Philadelphia.
In a continuing effort to keep the Board apprised regarding the status of these plans, PEMA wishes to inform you of a recently discovered error on the Evacuation Plan Map which we published in June 1983.
The map is a composite of the Berks, Chester and Montgomery County maps but the cartographers apparently neglected to compensate for this in developing the scale shown on the Evacuation Plan Map. The correct scale is one (1) mile equals.588 inches.
Consequently, the circle depicting the ten-mile EPZ is approximately a quarter mile smaller than it should be.
The EP7, as determined by the municipalities, counties and PEMA, is shown as the white area on the map and follows political subdivision boundaries or recogni::able landmarks.
A review of the rap indicates that our defined EPZ exceeds the ten-mile circle by considerably more than a quarter mile in Chester County and the error thus has no impact. This is not, however, true for Berks and Montgomery Counties since the additional quarter mile affects the EPZ boundaries now shown for several municipalities.
It is our intention te republish the maps and ensure that any necessary changes are made in the plans of the affected counties and munici-palities. We will not know the extent of these changes until the EPZ can be redefined for Berks and Montgomery Counties. Philadelphia Electric Company's consulting firm, Energy Consultants Inc., is currently working with these counties and their involved municipalities to determine how the 0

extension of-the ten-mile circle that appears on the June 1983 maps.
Although it is indeed regret table that the error occurred, it is, however, fortunate that it was discavured before the July 25, 1984 exercise and while the plans are still in draft form. We cannot at this time provide a date as to when the necessary changes will be completed, but please be assured that we will endeavor to republish the map and have necessary changes made in the plans as quickly as possible. Region III of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has also been informed of the error and the action being taken.
