SUBJECT:

Regional Director's Evaluation Site specific, Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans, Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station I FEMA Region V submitte'd the original Regional Director's Evaluation of the Site-Specific, Offsite Radiological Emergency ,

Preparedness (REP) Plans for the Davis Besse Nuclear Power

Station on February 25, 1981. After submittal to HQ, FEMA Region V identified an emergency planning zone (EPZ) issue and withdrew ~

it's recommended approval by HQ until the ten (10) mile EPZ issue i

raised by Region V was resolvt..

On August 15, 1986, Governor Richard F. Celeste informed the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of his decision to withdraw support for the emergency response plans for the Perry Nuclear Power Station and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, pending a State review of the plans. The Governor ordered the review in light of the explosion and fire at the Chernobyl power plant, the Davis Besse incident of June 9, 1985 and the earthquake'near the Perry Nuclear Power Station on January 31, 1986. The Governor appointed a three-rember panel which conducted extensive meetings with the public and with experts from both the pro-and anti-nuclear community. Their findings were released in early 1987.

Region V,on August 5, 1987, submitted a revised Regional Director's Evaluation recommending approval of the site-specific, offsite REP plans for the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station.

Governor Celeste, on May 24, 1989, submitted a written request to Region-V requesting FEMA approval of the site-specific, offsite REP plans for the Davis Besse and the Perry Nuclear Power Stations. This letter is attached for your files. Region V-supports the State of Ohio request that FEMA approve site

The required public meetings have taken place. The Region V Assistance Committee (RAC) determined that specific elements identified as inadequate in the August 5, 1987, submission are now adequate. The EPZ issue has.been resolved. The March 1987 exercise was successful and the preliminary findings of the August 1989 exercise indicate there are no deficiencies.

It l's my opinion that offsite REP planning for the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.
