Subject:
Quad Cities Generating Station Alert and Notification System Evaluation Report
Dear Ms. Brock:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received an updated Quad Cities Generating Station Alert and Notification System (ANS) Evaluation Report (Report), dated August 2022, from the State of Iowa. 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 Alert Iowa - Electronic Telephone Notification System/Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Wireless Emergency Alerts as the backup alerting and notification method for the State of Iowas portion of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. No changes were made to the primary alerting and notification system methods. 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, Alex Amparo Assistant Administrator National Preparedness Directorate Federal Emergency Management Agency
