MEMORANDUM FOR: Frank J. Congel Director, Division of Radiation Protection and Emergency Preparedness Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Nuclear Regula or C.,ission bb..

FROM:

R cnarc W. Krimm Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs

SUBJECT:

Objectives For The Shoreham Exercise On February 8,1938, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conduct a f ull-participation exercise of Long Island Lighting Company's (LILCO) offsite preparedness plan for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station.

Attached are the proposed objectives for the Shorehr2 exercise now scheduled for June 7-9, 1988.

4 Assistance Committee, and FEMA Headquarters.They have been reviewed by F Of the objectives identified in FEMA Guioance Memorandum EX-3 and its March 7,1988 Amendment, all objectives, except as noted t,elow are proposed for demonstration, as shown in the attachment to this memorandum.

The exceptions are:

Objective 17 - This is consistent with New York State Public Health Law, New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness practices and the Shoreham Radiological Emergency Response Plan, in that the distribution and administration of potassium iodide to the general public is not a protective action option in the State of hew York.

Objective 36 - This is consistent with the Amendment to Guidance Memorandum EX-3 which states that an of f-hours unannounced exercise is not a requirement for a qualifying exercise.

Objective 22 - The approach to cenonstrations associated with this objective is now under discussion between FEMA and NRC staff, due to the non-participation of the American Red Cross in the upcoming Shoreham exercise.

We request your written advice as soon as possible on how the utility should handle these demonstrations so that we can make appropriate arrangements for their evaluation.

It is our position that the proposed objectives are suf ficient to demonstrate the capabilities of the Long Island Lighting Company Local Emergency Response Organization in a full-participation exercise.

We hereby request NRC to inform us as soon as possible whether these objectives are sufficient to constitute a qualifying exercise under NRC's regulations and give us specific advice on Objective 22.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call ne at 646-2871.

objectives for Shoreham Exercise The proposed exercise objectives for the June 7-9, 1988 Shoreham exercise have been reviewed by FEMA Region II. and the RAC members.

of the 36 objectives identified within EX-3, and the required objective Of.54/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.for quolifying exerciseo described in NUREG

1. Supplement 1, the Long Island Lighting Company has submitted its intent to test 34 objectives during the June exercise.

demonstrated are:The only three objectives which will not be Objective 17 - This is consistent with New York State Public Health Law. New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness practices and the Shoreham Radiological Emergency Response Plan, that the distribution and administration of potassium iodido to the general public is not an acceptable protective action.

Objective 22 - This objeative will not be demonstrated due to the refusal of the Amerl',an Red Cross refusal to participate in the upcoming Shoreham exercise.

Objective 36 - This is consistent with Guidance Memorandum EX-3 which states that an off-hours unannounced exercise is not a requirement for a qualifying exercise.

Our review indicates that the 34 objectives submitted are sufficient to amply demonstrate the capabilities of LILCo.

It is our request that these off-site objectives be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for determination for "qualifying exercise" under NRC rules, Attachment i
