1. Washington, D.C. 20472 Denton Keppler GCunningham MAR 2 6 886 N Mr. Victor Stello, Jr.

Acting Executive Director for Operations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Canmission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Stello:

In accordance with the Federal anergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule 44 CFR 350, the State of Iowa submitted its State and associated local plans for ra3iological energencies related to the Quad Cities Nuclear Ibwer Station to the Regional Director of FEMA Region VII for FENA review and approval. The Regional Director conpleted and forwarded his final evalua-tion of the Iowa State and local plans to me on August 31, 1983, in accord-ance with section 350.11 of the rule. However, areas requiring action by the Iowa Office of Disaster Services in order to complete processing of the State's submission, were not resolved until January 3, 1986. Included in the August 31, 1983, evaluation is a review of exercises conducted on May 20, 1981, August 24,1982, May 11,1983; and, a report on the public meeting held on June 17, 1981, which explained the site-specific aspects of the State and local plans. In addition, there has been a review of exercises conducted on August 28/29, 1984, and August 27, 1985.

Based on an overall evaluation, I find and determine that the State and local plans and preparedness for the Quad Cities Nuclear Ibwer Station are adequate to protect the health and safety of the public in that there is l reasonable assurance that the appropriate protective neasures can be taken l offsite in the event of a radiological emergency. However, while there is a public alert and notification (A&N) system in place and operational, this approval is conditional on FEMA's verification of the A&N systen in accord-ance with the criteria of Apperdix 3 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1; and, FENA-REP-10, "Olide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants."

Sincerely, k
