U. S. Department of Homeland Security Region 4 3005 Chamblee Tucker Road Atlanta, GA 30341 August 23, 2023 MEMORANDUM FOR: Thomas K. Warnock, Branch Chief Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program FROM: Kevin B. Wells KEVIN B Digitally signed by KEVIN B WELLS Chief, Technological Hazards Branch Regional Assistance Committee Chairperson WELLS Date: 2023.08.23 14:00:38 -04'00'
SUBJECT:
Relocation of Dominion Energy Emergency Operations Facility This is in response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions request for FEMAs concurrence that the replacement of the existing Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station near-site Emergency Operations Facility with a consolidated Emergency Operations Facility does not have an unintended impact on offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans.
FEMA Region 4 conducted a review of the proposal and concurs with the State of South Carolina and the offsite response organizations surrounding the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station that this move will not negatively impact offsite preparedness.
South Carolina currently sends state liaisons and radiological health personnel to Duke Energys Charlotte, North Carolina corporate Emergency Operations Facility for the H.B. Robinson, Catawba and Oconee Nuclear sites, and Southern Companys Emergency Operations Facility for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Birmingham, Alabama.
Minor plan changes to incorporate the new Emergency Operations Facility address and other such minor adjustments will be developed prior to the next joint biennial exercise in 2025 by the State to address the consolidation by Dominion Energy of the Virgil C. Summer Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information Center from Ballentine, South Carolina and West Columbia, South Carolina, respectively, to the Dominion Energy Corporate Emergency Response Center in Glen Allen, Virginia.
