SUBJECT:

Exercise Report for the June 18, 1985, Exercise of the Offsito Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)

Plans for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Station Attached is one copy of the Exercise Report for the June 18, 1985, full participation joint exercise of the offsite REP plans for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Station located approximately 37 miles north of Denver in Weld County, Colorado. 'Ihe State of Colorado and Weld County, located in the 5-mile plume emergency planning zone, fully participated in the exercise.

'Ihe exercise report was prepared by Region VIII of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

During the exercise there were no deficiencies observed in the actions that were taken under the plans. Several areas needing improvement were identified during the exercise, however, these did not detract fran the overall capability demonstrated by the State of Colorado and Weld County to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency.

Based on the results of the June 18, 1985, exercise, FEMA considers that offsite radiological emergency preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emergency. 'Iherefore, the original 44 CFR 350 approval dated January 29, 1982, for the Fort St.

Vrain Nuclear Station will remain in effect including the caveat on the adequacy of the alert and notification system.

FEMA Region VIII staff will furnish a copy of this exercise report to the State of Colorado and request that appropriate actions be taken in regard to the areas recomended for inprovement.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-2860.
