SUBJECT:

Third Interim Finding on Offsite Radiological Emergency

^

Response Plans for the River Bend Nuclear Generating Station Attached is a copy of the third interim finding on the adequacy of the Louisiana Peacetime Radiological Response Plan (Revision V) site-specific to the River Bend Nuclear Generating Station. This report was prepared by the Region VI staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

This third interim finding indicates a great improvement in the radiological emergency preparedness plans since the supplemental finding submitted to you on February 12, 1985.

The NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1, Rev.1, elements remaining inadequate for the

State of Louisiana are G.3.a., J.10.e., L.3., and P.10., and for the Parishes, J.10.e. The Region will maintain close liaison with the State of Louisiana to ensure that the remaining inadequacies are completed to FEMA's satisfac-tion. ,

Based on the final report of the initial qualifying exercise on offsite radiological emergency preparedness conducted on January 16,1985, which was transmitted to you by memorandum dated May 7, 1985, and the review of the plans, the offsite radiological emergency plans and preparedness are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of an accident at the River Bend Nuclear Generating Station.

Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-2861.
