SUBJECT:
PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF FINDING OF REASONABLE ASSURANCE FROM FEMA
Dear Sir or Madam:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is notifying you that we have received the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Finding for Reasonable Assurance of the offsite emergency response plans and preparedness for the Palisades Nuclear Plant in the letter dated September 25, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML25272A021). In its letter FEMA stated:
FEMA Region 5 staff reviewed the information received pertaining to the offsite radiological emergency plans for the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) and the ability for those plans to be successfully implemented. In addition, the Federal Radiological Preparedness Coordination Committee (FRPCC) was provided the opportunity to review the plans. Plans were reviewed against the sixteen (16) planning standards in NUREG-0645/FEMA REP-1 and found to be adequate.
The offsite response organizations (OROs) successfully demonstrated their ability to implement those plans in the qualifying exercise, conducted on July 29, 2025. Based on plan reviews and the successful demonstration of plan implementation in the qualifying exercise, FEMA has approved the State plans and is reasonably assured that the plans are adequate and can be implemented.
This satisfies license condition 2.F.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Justin C. Poole, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-255 cc: Listserv
