U.S. Department of Homeland Security Region VII 9221 Ward Parkway, Suite 300 Kansas City, MO 64114-3372 August 7, 2009
Mr. Elmo E. Collins Regional Administrator U.S. NRC Region IV 612 East Lamar Blvd., Suite 400 Arlington, Texas 76011-4125
Dear Mr. Collins:
Enclosed is a copy of the final report for the Full Scale Exercise Evaluation on June 3, 2009, and two out-of-sequence (OOS) drills conducted on May 20, 2009 and June 2, 2009 for the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The state of Kansas, Coffey County, and Lyon County participated in the full scale exercise and OOS drills. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII staff prepared the report. A copy of the final report will be provided to the state of Kansas by the FEMA Region VII staff.
There were no Deficiencies and no Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCAs) identified during the exercise or drills. We will be submitting planning issues and areas recommended for improvement in a separate letter to the state.
Based on the results of the Full Scale Exercise, OOS Drills, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the state of Kansas, and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Wolf Creek Generating Station are determined to be adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. Therefore, based on the above, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350 approval, granted on April 4, 1989, will remain in effect.
Mr. Elmo E. Collins August 7, 2009 Page 2
