Dear Mr. Congel:

Enclosed'is a copy of the report for the unannounced drill conducted for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station on May.10, 1989. .The report dated June 20, 1989, was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII staff. The State of Iowa and the Counties of Clinton and Scott participated in this drill. The scope of this drill was limited to demonstrating the ability of State and local governments to fully activate Emergency Operations Centers (EOC's) and to mobilize all staff that report to the EOC's.

There were no deficiencies identified during the drill.

However, nine Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA's) were identified. Five were cited at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). Two ARCA's were identified at the State Forward Command Post (FCP) . An ARCA was identified for both Clinten and Scott Counties due to the improper use of a primary communication system between the SEOC, FCP and County EOC's. A' final ARCA was related to the Scott County Radiological Emergency Plan. The Assistant to the Director L7ted as an alternate for the Director during the drill.

However, the plan does not account for this individual assuming this position. A summary of the ARCA's is located in Section 3 of the report; they are explained in detail in Section 2. Plan revisions are to be provided by the State and the appropriate objectives regarding the ARCA's cited at the May 10, 1989, drill will be included for demonstration at the next exercise, currently scheduled for December 5, 1990.

Based on the status of corrective actions, FEMA considers that offsite radiological emergency preparedness is adequate L

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 Iowa, in the event of a radiological emergency. Therefore, the approval of the'offsite plans for the State of Iowa, site-specific to 8907110032 890627
