North Anna Power Station Alert and Notification System Evaluation Report
Dear Ms. Brock:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received the updated North Anna Power Station Alert and Notification System (ANS) Evaluation Report (Report), Revision 3, dated June 7, 2022. In accordance with 44 C.F.R. § 350.14, FEMA reviews and approves significant plan changes.
The changes in the stations report constitute a significant change. I have reviewed and approve the report and am forwarding it to you for appropriate action.
As noted in the updated ANS Report, the station selected the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Wireless Emergency Alerts and the Emergency Alert System as the primary alerting and notification methods for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. Additionally, the VDEM Public Notification System was selected to be the independent backup alerting and notification method.
Based upon FEMAs review and recommendations, I find the proposed changes adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the station. These proposed changes provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency and are capable of being implemented.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bruce C. Foreman, Chief, Policy and Doctrine Branch, Technological Hazards Division at (202) 646-3567.
Sincerely, Damon C. Penn Deputy Assistant Administrator National Preparedness Directorate Federal Emergency Management Agency
