Dear Mr. Stello:

In accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rule 44 CFR 350, the State of Maine submitted the Maine Ingestion Pathway Plan for Seabrook Station for. radiological emergencies site-specific to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station. The plan was submitted to the Regional Director of FEMA Region I for FEMA review on February 12, 1987, and again submitted on October 12, 1988, with amendments along with a formal request for FEMA's review, evaluation and approval. The Regional Director completed his final evaluation of the Maine State plan and preparedness and forwarded

-it to'me on December 13, 1988, in accordance with section 350.11 of the FEMA rule. This evaluation was based on a review of the plan; the joint exercise conducted on June 28-29, 1988, in accordance with section 350.9 of the FEMA rule; the Status of Corrective Actions for the 1988 FEMA Graded Exercise for Seabrook Station; and, a report of the public meeting held on July 2,1988, to_ discuss the site-specific aspects of the State of Maine's plan, the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan, and the New Hampshire Yankee Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Communities in accordance with section 350.10 of the FEMA rule.

On December 14, 1988, FEMA provided the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with interim findings and determinations regarding the status of offsite radiological emergency planning and preparedness for Seabrook. For the.

State of Maine, FEMA found that Maine's ingestion pathway plan and prepared-ness were adequate to protect the health and safety of tha public in the Maine portion of the ingestion pathway of Seabrook by providing reasonable t

assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency and are capable of being implemented.

Based on NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, I reiterate my findings and deter-mination of December 14, 1988, that the State of Maine's Ingestion Pathway Plan and preparedness for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station are adequate l
