Dear Mr. - Dircks:

In accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) ryle,.

44 CFR 350, the_ State of Illinois submitted its State and associated ,

-local plans for radiological emergencies related to the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant to the Regional-Director of FEMA Region V for FEMA review and approval ~. The Regional Director forwarded his evaluation of the Illinois State and local plans to me on October 25, 1983, in accordance 2with Section 350.11 of the rule. His submission included an evaluation of the fall participation exercise conducted on May 20, 1981, and an evaluation of. the partial participation exercise conducted on August 24,

-1982, and a report of the public meeting held on June 17,1981, which i explained the site-specific aspects of the State and local plans. On November 14, 1983,'the Regional Director submitted an addendum to his report noting all of the recent revisions to offsite plans and preparedness

-as well as the results_of a partial participation exercise held on May 11,

~1983. .-These last efforts have~resulted in the resolution of the outstanding deficiencies.

Based on an overall evaluation, I find and determine that, subject to the condition stated below, the State and local plans and preparedness for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Plant are adequate to protect the health and

-safety of the public in that there is reasonable assurance that the appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a 5 -radiological emergency.' However, while there is a public alerting and notification (A&N) system in place and operational, this approval is

conditional on FEMA's verification of the adequacy of the A&N system

- in accordance with the criteria of Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.
