Dear Mr. Congel:

Enclosed is a copy of the final exercise report for the February 19-20, 1988, full participation joint exercise of the offsite radiological emer-gency preparedness plans site-specific to the Catawba Nuclear Station.

The Catawba Nuclear Station is located approximately six miles north of Rock Hill in northern York County, South Carolina.

The State of South Carolina, and York County, and the State of North Carolina, and Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties, which are located in the 10-mile plume emer-gency planning zone (EPZ), participated in the exercise.

The exercise report was prepared by Region IV staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and includes the comments resulting from the Regional Assistance Committee review. There was one deficiency identified during this exercise involving the medical services activity.

A remedial drill was satisfactorily conducted on June 17, 1988, which corrected the deficiency. The report identifies eleven additional areas requiring corrective action.

Based on the results of this exercise and the remedial drill, the offsite radiological emergency plans and preparedness for the State of South Carolina, and York County, and the State of North Carolina, and Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties, remain adequate to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the Catawba Nuclear Station. Therefore, the 44 CFR 350 approvals granted on October 8,1985, for both North Carolina and South Carolina will remain in effect.

FEMA Region IV will furnish a copy of this final exercise report to the States of South Carolina and North Carolina.

The Region will assure completion by the States of the necessary corrective actions.

If you should have any questions, please contact Mr. Craig S. Wingo, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-3026.
