-Docket No: 50-271 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation ATIN: Mr. Warren P. Murphy Vice President and Manager of Operations RD 5, Box 169 Ferry Road Brattleboro, Vermont 05301 Gentlemen:

In order for the Region to fully support the Vermont Yankee emergency exercise scheduled for December 3, 1986, an adequate review of the exercise objectives and scenario is essential. The guidelines identified below will be used for the submittal and review of the objectives and scenario packages prior to the exercise. You will note that the schedule is similar to the least restrictive submittal schedule noted in FEMA Guidance Memorandum No.17, Revision 1, for comparable milestones. Region I has found that licensees generally comply with these guidelines, however, we recognize the need to stress the importance of both completeness and timeliness.

The following schedule should be used for all exercises:

Days in Advance Information to be Submitted 75 Days Description and scope of exercise, and the objectives to be fulfilled should be received in the Region I office. The objectives should include specific objectives to demonstrate, where appropriate, the effectiveness of corrective actions taken in regard to problem areas which have been previously identified during NRC inspections, emergency exercises and drills and your internal evaluation process.

60 Days NRC will provide comments in writing, based on our review of your submittal.

45 Days Complete exercise scenario package with modified objectives, schedules, exercise rules, all controller, contingency and simulation informa-tion, all data, including plant data, radiation level and release rate data, and samples of the data to be presented should be received in the Region I office.
