Dear Mr. Collins:

In reference 1), Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC) submitted a proposed schedule of items related to the 1984 Fort St. Vrain radiological emergency exercise. This schedule assumed that the conduct of the drill would take place on June 27, 1984.

Since submission of that schedule, a number of items have developed which necessitate postponing of the drill. Specifically, an internal scheduling conflict has developed; the State of Colorado has formally requested exemption from participation in the drill and PSC has followed this up with an exemption request (Reference 2, 4, 5); and the NRC has raised some questions on the scope and objectives of the exercise (Reference 3, 6). In addition, our conversations with your staff indicate that additional review time of our exemption request could be beneficial.

When all these items are taken into consideration, we .think it would be prudent to postpone the exercise until July 25, 1984. Based on this exercise date, the following target dates are established:

1. Detailed Scenario On or before June 11, 1984

2. -Controller / Prompter Packages On or before June 11, 1984

3. Conduct F0SAVEX 84 July 25, 1984

'On a related matter, the NRC's request for additional information on -

the scope and objectives for the exercise (Reference 6), requested a written response by May 14, 1984. Since this letter was not received and distributed at the plant until May 11, 1984, the written response date of May 14, 1984, was unrealistic. Therefore, telephone responses were provided to Mr. J. B. Baird of your staff on May 11,>1984; a written response will be provided by May 18, 1984.

If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.

Very truly yours,

$d h Don W. Warembourg Manager, Nuclear Production Fort St.-Vrain Nuclear Generating Station DWW/djc
