Subject:
Exercise Report of the September 9, 1986, Exercise of the Wisconsin Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans for the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant.
B is is to transmit a copy of the Exercise Report of the September 9, 1986, joint exercise of the Wisconsin offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans for the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, in the Town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Participants included the State of Wisconsin (partial partici-pation), Kewaunee County (full), Manitowoc County (full) and the Wisconsin l
Electric Power Company (full). R ese two counties are impacted by the Point Beach plum exposure 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The date of the final report prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V was March 4,1987.
In the September 9,1986 exercise conducted by FEMA Region V, there were no Deficiencies observed; however, there were s'e/en areas observed as requiring corrective action (ARCA's). On January 8, 1987, the Region transmitted to the State of Wisconsin a copy of the exercise report and the State responded February 27, 1987 to the ARCA's cited by FEMA. he FEMA Region V memrandum of March 17, 1987, reviewing the Wisconsin re-e sponse is attached. H e proposed corrective actions contained in the I
memrandum are acceptable to FEMA and will be evaluated at the next biennial exercise.
Based on the results of the exercise and the schedule for corrective action for the ARCA's, FEMA considers that offsite radiological emergency prepared-ness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emergency.
Therefore the FE2% approval for offsite planning and preparedness under 44 CFR 350 remains in effect.
