SUBJECT:

Exercise Report of the October 16, 1985, Exercise of the Offsite Radiological Ehergency Preparedness Plans for the Cooper Nuclear Station Attached is a copy of the Exercise Report of the October 16, 1985, joint exercise of the offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans for the Cooper Nuclear Station at Brownville, Nebraska. The joint exercise was full participation for the State of Nebraska and the Counties of Nemaha and Otoe; arri, the State of Missouri and the Counties of Atchison and Nodaway.

'Ihe report dated December 20, 1985, was prepared by Federal Dnergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII. l l

FEMA Region VII identified four deficiencies in Nebraska. 'IWo concerned field l monitoring and decontamination by the State. Two concerned Nemaha County's l alert & notification ( A&N) of Indian Cave State Park and access control throughout the jurisdiction. In addition, two deficiencies were identified in Missouri. 'Ihese concerned the inability to successfully denonstrate the 15-minute A&N function by the Atchison County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the lack of provisions in both the Missouri and Atchison County plans for A&N in the Brickyard Hill State Wildlife Area.

On November 26, 1985, the deficiency in 15 minute A&N of the public by the Atchison County EOC was corrected in a remedial exercise. All but one of the other &ficiencies have been corrected by training, plan revisions, and letters of agreement. 'Ihe remaining deficiency is concerned with Brickyard Hill and is scheduled for correction by June 15, 1986. 'Ihis correction will include not -

only plan revisions and letters of agreement but a remedial exercise.

On Septanber 24, 1986, another full-participation joint exercise of offsite plans and preparedness is scheduled to be held in support of the Cooper Nuclear Station. Mere appropriate, all of the trainirn, plan revisions and letters of agreement will be tested at this exercise.

i In the October 16, 1985, exercise _there were other inadequacies identified as

requiring corrective actions. The States of Nebraska and Missouri have re-

! oeived a copy of the exercise report and are preparing schedules of corrective j actions. When they are received and analyzed, we will send you copies.

i Although there were deficiencies observed at the exercise, the States of

] Nebraska and Missouri have made substantial progress in correcting them; i

the only remaining deficiency is scheduled for cmpletion by June 15, 1986.

Based on this progress in the correction of deficiencies, there is reasonable i assurance that the public health and safety can be protected in the event of

an accident at the Cooper Nuclear Station. Therefore, the November 30, 1983,

approval under FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 will remain in effect.

t If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division at 646-2861.
