(b Leesport,' Pennsylvania 19533 Dear Mr The Berks County Municipal Radiological Emergency Response Plans for the Limerick Generating Station have been reviewed.
Since the plans follow a patterned. format, comments applicable to all of the plans are contained in the two enclosures. One enclosure contains review comments applicable to municipalItles wholly within the plume exposure pathway EPZ, and the other pertains to municipalities partially within it.
In our view, the plans wi.Il not be satisfactory until the recommended changes and additions are made.
if, however, there are specific circumstances or considerations in a municipality that substantially preclude adoption of the recommended changes or additions, please tot us know so that any C
problem areas can be discussed and resolved.
You may wish to request the Philadelphia Electric Company to' provide consultant support f rom Energy Consultants, Inc. to assist the municipalities in bringing their plans up to-acceptable standards.
Please make the necessary changes and resubmit the plans to PEMA not later than November 1,1983 along with a transmittal 1ctter containing your evaluation of whether the plans are in consonance with your county ~
plan and are deemed by you to be adequate and acceptable. Your professional
~
opinion concerning their adequacy is not only an important fact, but also vital since you are the approving authority for municipal plans.
Sincerely,
)
