SUBJECT:
Schedule of Corrective Actions for the Peach Bottom Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Attached is a copy of the schedule of corrective actions for Category B deficiencies cited at the Peach Bottom full-participation Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise conducted on October 17, 1984.
The corrective actions have been submitted by the State of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The two Category A deficiencies in Pennsylvania, one affecting Drumore and Little Britain Township, Lancaster County; and one affecting the Fawn Grove Borough / Fawn Township Joint Emergency Operations Center, York County, have been addressed at a remedial exercise on April 10, 1985.
As soon as the remedial exercise and the results have been reviewed and analyzed, this information will be forwarded to you along with a supplemental statement on the adequacy of offsite preparedness.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-2860.

hGut 5 yggg Mr. John L. Patten Director Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Transportation and Safety Building, B-151 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120
Dear Mr. Patten:
This letter is in response to your February 20, 1985 letter transmitting PEMA's response to the October 17, 1984 Peach Botton exercise report.
Following are our comments on the corrective acticas proposed.
Category "A" Deficiencies The assertion that Lancaster County was never informed that lack of federal observation would result in Category "A" deficiencies is irrelevant.
Federal observation is an inherent element of REP exercises conducted under CFR 350.9.
(Note: The preceding is stated in awareness of that element of PEMA's position paper transmitted under your January 29, 1985 letter requesting FEMA concurrence on PEMA evaluation of municipalities. Without reference to FEMA's eventual response to that position paper, FEMA is now, and was on October 17, 1984, responsible for evaluation of municipalities participating in exercises.) Therefore, FEMA is unable to accept PEMA's assurance that citizens of the municipalities will be protected in the event of a radiological emergency at Peach Bottom. We await information from PEMA on the date and scenario of a remedial exercise.
We also await a date and scenario for a Fawn Grove Borough / Fawn Grove Township Joint EOC remedial exercise. The term " tabletop" is used in reference to this exercise. Rather than taking a position on the appropriateness of this term for the York or Lancaster municipalities, we will evaluate scenarios, when submitted, to ascertain whether the Category "B" deficiencies assigned to Fawn Grove Borough / Fawn Grove Township will be addressed and whether the main elements of the Drumore and Little Britain Township plans will be exercised.
Category "B" Deficiencies PEMA's response to deficiency #1 states that no reports of not receiving information within the EOC were received. We direct attention to the third paragraph of page 6 of the exercise report (a typographical error made two sentences out of what should have been one). The PIO office's missing of the declaration of General Emergency appeared to be due, at least in part, to problems with the public address system.
3.
We find the responses to deficiencies #4 and #5 disappointing. Chester County participated in this exercise in order to allow West Nottingham Township to participate. Accordingly, FEMA would not be in a position to insist on corrective actions for any County deficiencies that might have been observed.
In the interest of preparedness, however, we would assume that the State end the County would be most interested in correcting the problems noted. The information given under " Corrective Action" for these deficiencies gives the impression that the goal is to satisfy exercise requirements rather than to assure emergency preparedness.
We assume that the addition of staff members referred to in the response to deficiencies #10, #14, #26, #35 and #36 will be reflected in the respective municipal plans submitted for 350 approval. Similarly, responses to deficiencies #19, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #28, #29, #30, #32 and #33 should be reflected in revised plans.
5 A copy of this letter will be forwarded to FEMA Headquarters along with the corrective actions of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
In the meantime we will await scheduling and scenarios for the necessary remedial, exercises.
- Sfcerely, yPaulP.Giordauvw /. +

PIKEsVILLE M A R Y L A N D 212 08 Amp caves ogFansa assmtv ARE A CODE 301486 A422 February 15, 1985 Mr. Paul P. Giordano Regional Director Federal Emergency Management Agency Region III 105 South 7th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 ATTENTION:
Mr. James Asher
Dear Mr. Giordano:
This correspondence represents the State of Maryland's re-sponse to the Federal Emergency Management Agency / Regional Assis-tance Committee evaluation report for the radiological emergency response exercise held in conjunction with the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station on October 17, 1984.
Included in this response is a schedule of proposed corrective actions for the deficiencies / rec-ommendations cited.
Please note that the response has been sum-marized to address several deficiencies and recommendations simul-taneously due to the similarity of corrective measures.
Our re-sponse is summed in four (4) categories and is keyed to summary of Category "B" deficiencies and recoramendations in original report, j
EQUIPMENT (recommendations 14 and 15) i The State of Maryland is requesting that Philadelphia Elec-tric Company (PECo) install a dedicated radio system to serve as a backup to the direct phone lines between Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and the Maryland State EOC.
We have also requested of l
PECo and the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGEE), several telecopiers to establish a reliable system for hard copy transmis-t sion of news releases.
(
l The projected date for receipt of the telecopiers is June 1, 1985.
In that installation of a backup radio connunications sys-tem requires extensive evaluation and design, completion can be projected no sooner than October, 1986 provided the utility finds this a feasible request.
TTY FOR DEAF - 484 4083 l
l-
, PLANS / PROCEDURES (deficiency 48 and recommandations 13 and 16)
A new map is being developed which will assist Harford County in identifying geographical areas affected during implementation of protective actions.
Also, the State of Maryland is actively pursuing a standard format for notifications between neighboring states and the utilities.
Consideration will be given to plan and procedure revision to prompt notification of Pennsylvania prior to siren activation in Maryland.
Projected dates for plan and procedures revisions are no later than October, 1985.
The map should be completed by May 1, 1985.
TRAINING (deficiencies 42,44,45,47, and 48 and recommendation 20)
Tasks cited in the referenced deficiencies and recommenda-tions will be given emphasis during annual training.
Cecil County and the State of Maryland do not believe the confusion or incon-sistencies cited in deficiencies 44 and 47 exists in the County plan.
Rather, we believe the tasked authorities need some adjust-ment to the new plan.
l Training is projected to occur throughout 1985 to address all noted deficiencies.
EXERCISE PARTICIPATION / CONDUCT (deficiencies 38,40,41,42, and 46 and recommendations 17,18, and 19)
The referenced deficiencies and recommendations under this heading are the result of player deviation from participation guidance outlined in the State of Maryland exercise directive.
This directive is distributed prior to each REP exercise.
In the future, the directive will emphasize full participation, to the extent possible, during full scale exercises.
Deficiency #42 has been addressed in this category, as it was determined to be a controller induced problem.
Exercise control instructions, within the exercise directive, will emphasize coor-i dination of control messages.
1 The next full scale Exercise with Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station is scheduled for October 16, 1986, thus the projected date for correction of these deficiencies / recommendations coincides with the exercise date.
Finally, we must challenge the accuracy and validity of de-ficiencies 39,41,43, and 49).
Deficiency #39 indicates a misun-derstanding of the Maryland plan for public information.
Accord-ing to Section 3 1.6.2 of the Maryland REP, the county public in-formation officers (PIO) will report on the radiological emergency 2
l cituntion and county oparctions (i.e. avacuntion instructions).
,.The State PIO will report on coordination of recourcos and state efforts in support of county operations.
Deficiency #41 is a surprise to Cecil County, as the area's primary EBS station, WAMD, reported that every EBS station partici-pated.
None-the-less, this deficiency has been addressed under Ex-g ercise Participation / Conduct.
Deficiency #43 contradicts what is stated in deficiency #45, as access control is the responsibility of the State Police and the State Police simulated taking KI prior to authorization.
Proper use of KI is addressed in annual training.
[
Deficiency #49 might be acceptable as a recommendation, but considering the total number of mobility-impaired people that Harford County has identified, it is excessive to plan to that degree (i.e. particular needs).
This information would be neces-but sary when dealing with hundreds of mobility-impaired people, Harford County has approximately 35 mobility-impaired people to evacuate and more than enough ambulances and handicapped equipped buses to move them.
Although we contest this deficiency, infor-mation on particular needs is being solicited through the new pub-lic information brochures for Harford County.
Should there be any questions or comments regarding our re-sponse or the contested deficiencies, please contact my Assistant Director for Operations, Mr. Edwin O. Tremper, at (301) 486-4422.
Sincerely, a
f$' C br 3W
