Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs

SUBJECT:

Request for Exemption from the Annual Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise for the Robinson Nuclear Power Facility The Robinson Nuclear Power Facility is scheduled for an annual joint exercise on August 21, 1984. Attached is a letter dated March 21, 1984, from the State of South Carolina advising the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV of South Carolina's decision not to participate in a Robinson exercise in calendar year 1984. Also attached is a memorandum from FEMA Region IV dated April 4,1984, concurring with the State's request.

The last full-participation exercise at Robinson was held September 21, 1983. The results of this exercise did not necessitate any requirement for a remedial exercise, since there were no specific NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP.1, Rev.1, deficiencies identified. Therefore, in accordance with 44 CFR 350.9, the State of South Carolina, and Chesterfield, Darlington, and Lee Counties are not required to participate in the August 21, 1984, exercise scheduled for Robinson.

We have advised FEMA Region IV that since the State of South Carolina and the local governments within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone for the Robinson Nuclear Facility are eligible to go to a biennial exercise frequency in accordance with 44 CFR 350.9, they are excused from participation in the annual exercise scheduled for August 21, 1984. We would, therefore, support an NRC exemption from the 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.1., annual exercise requirement for State and local governments in this instance,in the event such an exemption is requested by the utility.

Please let us know of your action in this matter.
