l SUBJt:Or: Offsite Emrgency Planning at Pilgrim In my memorandum to you on July 13, 1987, I stated the Federal Paergency Management Agency (FEMA) would deliver to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) a finding on the adequacy of the offsite emergency preparedness plans for the' Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station on or about August 15, 1987. This is an update of our previous interim finding which was transmitted to the NRC on November 2,1983, along with a copy of the exercise report evaluating the initial joint State and local offsite radiological emergency preparedness exercise. These reports were provided to the NRC pursuant to the NRC/ FEMA Memrandum of Understanding of November 1980, and in response to the NRC's request for assistance concerning emrgency preparedness issues at Pilgrim dated Septonber 6, 1983. In addition, in a memorandum to NRC on March 31, 1987, FEMA indicated that the response to the related 2.206 petition would be consolidated with the results of FEMA's self-initiated review of the overall state of c,ffsite emergency preparedness and other relevant information.

FEMA's report, entitled "Self-Initiated Review and Interim Finding for the '

Pilgrim Nuclear Bower Station" dated August 4,1987, is attached. Included as attachments to the report are " FEMA Ccrnments on the Report to the Governor on Emergency Prepamdness for an Accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station" dated July 29,1987 (located at Tab 1 in the attached binder), and FEMA's

" Analysis of Emrgency Preparedness Issues at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Raised in a Petition to the NRC dated July 15, 1986". FEMA's analysis of the issues raised in the 2.206 petition is dated July 29, 1987, and is located at Tab 2 of the attached binder.

Based on the Self-Initiated Review and Interim Finding, FE% has concluded that Massachusetts offsite radiological emergency planning and preparedness are inadcquate to protect the public health and safety in the event of an accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Because of the changed cir-cumstances discussed in the report, the finding of adequacy contained in FEMA's previous interim finding no longer applies and that interim finding is hereby superseded.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 646-2871.
