Dear Ms. Pederson:

Enclosed is a copy of the Final After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the August 20, 2015, medical services and out-sequence drills for the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the Duane Arnold Energy Center. The State of Iowa, University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, Cedar Rapids Area Ambulance Service and Benton County Emergency Worker and Monitoring Decontamination Station all participated in the medical and out-of-sequence drills. The report was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII staff. Copies of the final report will be provided to the State oflowa.

There were no Level - 1 or Level - 2 findings, or Planning Issues, identified during the drills.

Nor were there previous findings to be corrected during these drills.

Based on the results ofthis medical and out-of-sequence drill, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Iowa and the affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Duane Arnold Energy Center, can be implemented and are 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, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350 approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Iowa, site-specific to the Duane Arnold Energy Center, granted on November 1, 1990, will remain in effect.

RECEIVED DEC 15 2015
