T. E. Murley, Region I October 3D, 1984 Mr. Joseph Carpenter 198 Newcastle Court Ridge, New York 11961

Dear Mr. Carpenter:

This is in response to your letter of October 4,1984, which included a copy of your previous correspondence of April 12, 1984, on emergency planning for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.

In these letters you expressed concerns regarding the adequacy of evacuation plans for the area in which you live and the capability of the Long Island Lighting Company offsite organization to implement these plans.

I wish to assure you that both the Nuclear Regulatory Commision (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) consider the development of adequate protective measures, including plans for evacuation which can be implemented in a timely manner, to be one of the essential objectives of emergency planning.

As you may know, the NRC is primarily responsible for assessing the adequacy of onsite emergency plans developed by nuclear power plant operators and has the final licensing authority.

FEMA, by Presidential directive, has been assigned the responsiblity for assessing the adequacy of offsite emergency planning around nuclear power plants. Accordingly, I am fonvarding a ccpy of your correspondence including your letters of August 22 and April 12, 1984, to FEMA Headquarters for their consideration in FEMA's continuing evaluation of offsite planning for the Shoreham facility.

In response to your request that your remarks be entered into the minutes of the NRC Hearing Board considering emergency preparedness matters for Shoreham, I am also forwarding copies of your October 4th, August 22nd and April 12th letters to the appropriate Hearing Board for their consideration.

I trust this information is responsive to your concerns.

Sincerely,

  • 0riginn,g1gn,gg,'
