State of Delaware have been made to FEMA Regions in accordance with flHA proposed Rule 44 CFR 350.7. Both States have, however, submitted draft REP Plans for review and comment by their respective Regional Assistanc17 Committees.(RAC);

New Jersey submitted a draft on January 16, 1981. RAC review comments were furnished to the State on February 25, 1981. Certain tevisions to these plans were made and furnished to the RAC ~n March 27, 1981. The RAC is not finished reviewing the revisions because of an inqedequate cross reference list. Delaware submitted a draft on Dece*mber 29, 1980.

RAC review comments were furnished to the State on February 23, .1981.

Delaware has furnished a revised plan received in the fEMA Region on March 31, 1981, which addressed "short termtt items. A later edition of the plans, dated April 1981 was received by the Region on April 6,1981.

It appears to address more of the RAC concerns first identified in febr.uary, however the RAC members have not completely evaluated the adequacy of the April revision. **

Neither State has completely satisfied the requirement for a public meeting in accordance with 44 CFR 350.10. New Jersey held a public meeting on March 20, 1981; however notification to the public was not timely. Another public meeting is scheduled for April 29, 1981. Delaware has scheduled a public meeting on June 15, 1981.

A joint exercise s.ite speci fie to the Salem nuclear plant* was conducted on April 8, 1981, with participation by both States and the local governments.

within the 10 mile EPZ. ____The stated objectives of the exercise were generally achieved, *even though the scenario had some limitations. __ Wl':lile a number of deficiencies were noted, they cary be readily corrected with additional SOPs, drills and training *

.

In summary the overall state of R~diological Emergency Preparedness in the States of New Jersey and Delaware have been significantly improved during the past year. Wnile there is still a need for considerable "impro,*e::irnt, the deficiencies which exist should. not preclude the two States from coping with a., s=cident at the Selem nuclear plant.
