SUBJECT:
Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) Alert and Notification System (ANS) Design Report
Dear Ms. Brock:
This memorandum confirms receipt and evaluation of the updated Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), and the Manitowoc County, Kewaunee County, and the State of Wisconsin Design Report and Alert and Notification System (ANS) Plan. Based upon FEMA THDs assessment, I approve the updated PBNP Design Report and the Manitowoc County, Kewaunee County, and the State of Wisconsin ANS Plan. In accordance with 44 CFR 350.14, I am forwarding to you the Design Report and the ANS plans for appropriate action.
As noted in the updated Design Report, the State of Wisconsin, Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Manitowoc, and Kewaunee Counties selected the Integrated Public Alerts Warning System Wireless Emergency Alert (IPAWS-WEA) and the Integrated Public Alerts and Warning System Emergency Alert System (IPAWS-EAS) as the primary alerting method for residents and transients within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Additionally, the State of Wisconsin, PBNP, Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties selected Route Alerting as the independent backup alerting method. The proposed changes are suitable for a reasonable assurance determination of public safety for the population in the PBNP plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ).
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bruce C. Foreman, Branch Chief, Policy and Doctrine Branch, at 202-646-3567.
Sincerely, Michael S. Casey, Ph.D.
