]
(EPZ). 'Ihe report, dated September 23, 1985, was prepared by Region I, Federal Dnergency Management kjency (FFl%). Also attached is an addendum transmitted to this office on December 16, 1985, which shows progress made towards correction of a Category A deficiency observed at the June 1985 exercise.
%e June 22,1985, exercise did not adequately demonstrate an ability by offsite authorities in the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) to alert the public outside the areas covered by fixed sirens within 45 minutes by special route alerting teams. According to the Region I exercise report, teams serving 10 of the 20 localities within the EPZ failed to comlete their route alerting within the allotted time. h is is considered to be a Category "A" deficiency, under the terminolrny then in use.
FEf% Region I describes the resolution of this deficiency in the attached addendum. As described in that addendum, the routes have been recon-fiqured and personnel trained to use them for route alerting in the required time. However, the alert and notification (NE) system for Maine Yankee, including route alerting as a component of NG, is still being analyzed by PEMA. Verification of elapsed time for routes and acoustical coverage of the areas affected by the route alerting are currently being confirmed against the criteria of FEMA-REP-10.
