1. Washington, D.C. 20472 JAN 2 41985 MEMORANDUM FOR: Edward L. Jordan Director, Division of Emergency Preparedness and Engineering Response Office of Inspection and Enforcement U.S Nuclear Re ulatory Commission FROM:

Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs

SUBJECT:

Supplemental Interim Finding on Kansas State and Local Emergency Plans and Preparedness for the Wolf Creek Generating Station This is in response to the October 25, 1984, request by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a Supplemental Interim Finding for the Wolf Creek Generating Station. Based on conversations between NRC and FEMA staffs, the deadline for response was extended to January 25, 1985. The attached Interim Finding was transmitted to FEMA Headquarters on January 14, 1985, by FEMA Region VII. It is supported by the attached January 10, 1985 exercise evaluation concerning the November 7,1984, exercise and a December 19, 1984, remedial exercise of the offsite plans and preparedness for the State of Kansas and Coffee County. The Interim Finding and exercise evaluation prepared by FEMA Region VII provides an updating of the Region's September 15, 1984, Interim Finding which was transmitted to NRC on September 28, 1984.

On the basis of the updated Interim Finding and the exercise evaluation, FEMA believes that 1) the State and local emergency plans are adequate and capable of being implemented, and 2) the exercises demonstrated that offsite preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emergency.

In addition to the above-mentioned information, we are including data on the one licensing condition and one confirmatory item remaining open before the Wolf Creek Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB). These concern incomplete letters of agreement and the installation of a second telephone line in the County Engineer's Office. Attached is a January 14, 1985, FEMA Region VII memorandum that addresses these issues. This response, in addition to the November 21, 1984, FEMA memorandum to NRC, completes the FEMA action on the September 20, 1984, NRC request for assistance on Wolf Creek ASLB conditions and confirmatory items related to offsite preparedness.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Richar ri sistant Associate Director

___.0ffice-of Natur ical Hazards FRO Y ' iktr'ick J gl @a [ Director, FEMA-Region VII

SUBJECT:

Wolf Crfek tomic Safety and Licensing Board Conditions and Configh$toryItemsRelatedtoOff-SitePreparedness Per the September 20, 1984, memorandum to you from Edwin L. Jordan, Director, Division of Emergency Preparedness and Engineering Response Office of Inspection and Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, my staff has been able to confirm all of the open issues concerning the Wolf Creek Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) conditions and confirmatory items related to off-site preparedness. Most of the open issues have previously been completed per a memorandum from my office to you dated November 14, 1984. However, the remaining ASLB condition and confirmatory item are presented below.

The second condition which must be met prior to issuance of the operating license is as follows:

" Letters of Agreement shall be signed by Coffey County with ambulance services and with funeral directors in surrounding counties providing for the transportation of non-ambulatory patients from the Coffey County Hospital and from the Golden Age Lodge Nursing Home in the event of an emergency evacuation occasioned by an accident at the Wolf Creek Plant. These executed Letters of Agreement shall be submitted to the NRC staff and shall be included in the Coffey County Plan."

In our memorandum dated November 14, 1984, we stated that most all the Letters of Agreement and/or Mutual Aid Agreements from the funeral directors and ambulance services were inadequate because of faults with documenting the available litter capacity of the vehicles. We have received all the corrected Letters of Agreement with the exception of the Lyon County Ambulance Service.

A representative of the Kansas Gas and Electric Company stated that an agree-ment has been made verbally and a signed agreement will be forwarded to my office shortly. However, even without the Lyon County resources, the remain-ing Letters of Agreement provide sufficient litter carrying capacity. Therefore, the status of the second condition is submitted as described above, for con-sideration by the ASLB and determination of adequacy for satisfaction of the second condition. Copies of the Letters of Agreement are enclosed.

The remaining item that the board requested confirmed was as follows:

Confirm the installation of a second telephone line in the County Engineer's Office.

This was confirmed by FEMA personnel during the remedial drill held on December 19, 1984.
