SUBJECT:

Interim Finding on Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans for the Clinton Nuclear Power Station Attached is an Interim Finding on offsite radiological energency prepared-ness (REP) plans for the Clinton Nuclear Power Station (NPS) dated November 6,1985. We finding was prepared by Region V of the Federal Emergency Managanent Agency (FEMA). At the time that the finding was prepared, neither an exerciso nor public meeting had been held in accordance with 44 CFR 350.

(he initial Clinton exercise was held on Decenber 4,1985.) Therefore, the report is based on the FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Comittee's (RAC) review of the preliminary site-specific REP plan for Clinton (Volume VIII of the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents [IPRA]), dated August 1985.

We RAC evaluated the preliminary Clinton plan in accordance with the criteria provided in NUREG-0654. Based on that evaluation, the preliminary plan was found to be inadequate. During the review, the RAC identified planning deficiencies which could adversely affect public health and safety. Specifically, deficiencies were identified in connection with the following NUREG-0654 planning standards: Assignnent of Responsibility; Emergency Response Support and Resources; Public Education and Infonnation; Protective Response; Medical and Public Health Support; Exercises and

' Drills; and, Radiological Einergency Response Training.

On October 21, 1985, PEMA Region V provided the Illinois Energency Services and Disaster Agency with the RAC's consensus review of the preliminary Clinton plan.

Prior to the initial Clinton exercise on Deconber 4,1985, Illinois provided a schedule of corrective actions to FENA Region V.

his information has been provided to the RAC for review and evaluation.

Following the RAC's evaluation, an assessment concerning the adequacy of the corrective actions will be made. he results will be provided to the State. We estimate that the final version of the plan will be submitted to FEMA Region V by February 1986.

If this schedule is maintained, we would most likely be able to provide a supplanental finding on the plans 8512180310 851213 1

., by late April 1986 It is our judgment that a serious plannirg effort has been put forth to date, and we anticipate the final version of the Clinton plan (IPRA, Voltane VIII) will be an adequate plan from which to conduct energency radiological response.

During the next few months, FEMA will provide NRC with an evaluation of preparedness based on the Decenber 4,1985, joint full-participation exercise. ' Although the exercise assessment report has not, of course, been prepared, preliminary analysis of the exercise results indicate there were'no deficiencies affecting public health and safety. -
