MAY 0 9 G88 Docket No. 50-155 Consumers Power Company ATTN: Gordon L. Heins Senior Vice President Energy Supply 212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, MI 49201 Gentlemen:

Based on the May 3, 1988, telephone conversation between Ms. Marge Hobe and Mr. Gary Shear of my staff, it is my understanding that May 18, 1988 was agreed upon as the date for our site visit to tour the emergency response facilities of the Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant.

Recent experience in the Federal Field Exercise identified the need for Region III to evaluate each licensee's emergency response facilities to determine if the NRC's Expanded Activation Site Team can be adequately accommodated. IE Information Notice No. 86-18 described the planned composition and location of the NRC Site Team that would respond to a major  ;

nuclear power plant accident.

Region III does not expect licensees to backfit to provide increased facility space. Facilities that have been constructed and approved under current regulations and guidance may not have the capability to accommodate the NRC Expanded Site Team as outlined in Information Notice 86-18.

Our goal is to consider with each licensee, ways of making more efficient use of available space, of providing adequate communications, and of identifying alternate space where relevant data could be made available in a timely, reliable manner.

Attached to this letter is an outline of the areas we will be reviewing. If there are questions regarding any of the above, please contact Gary Shear at <

(312) 790-5620. '
