JAN 2 41985 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman Palladino FROM:

William J. Dirck.s Executive Director for Operations

SUBJECT:

SCHEDULING OF EMERGENCY PLAN EXERCISE FOR SHOREHAM This is in response to your inquiry of January 16, 1985 regarding the scheduling of an exercise for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station referred to in a recent newspaper article.

In a letter dated November 14, 1984, from J. D. Leonard, VP-Nuclear Operations, to H. R. Denton, NRR, LILCO requested the NRC to review and forward to the Federal Emergency Management Agency a statement of objectives to be demonstrated at an exercise of both the onsite and offsite emergency plans for Shoreham.

LILCO stated that the exercise was planned for the week of February 11, 1985 and, in addition to forwarding the letter to FEMA, requested the staff to coordinate the arrangements for a preliminary meeting to begin the detailed planning process for the exercise.

The staff, in accordance with the LILC0 request and normal staff practice, transmitted the LILCO exercise package to FEMA by a memorandum dated December 19, 1984. A copy of this transmittal is enclosed.

In this memorandum the staff summarized the previous FEf4A/NRC correspondence concerning the review of offsite emergency planning for Shoreham and, recognizing that there are still outstanding plan inadequacies and legal authority issues, requested FEMA to take the lead in any

• preliminary consideration of the matter of an exercise of the offsite plans for Shoreham.

No schedule was discussed in the letter but the staff recognized in internal discussions that the February 11, 1985~date was premature.

The NRC also forwarded to FEMA the letters to the NRC from Governor Cuomo and John C. Gallagher, Chief Deputy County Executive for Suffolk County, opposing the conduct of an exercise at Shoreham due to the legal authority issue.

The staff has responded to these two letters and the responses have been forwarded to FEi!A.

Copies of the staff responses are also enclosed.
