Based on our review of the final exercise report and schedule of corrective actions, FEMA considers that offsite radiological emergency preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate of f site measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Byron Nuclear Power Station, in the event of a radiological emergency occurring at that site. Therefore, the approval of the offsite plans for Byron Nuclear Power Station granted under 44 CFR 350 in September 1984, continues to be in effect.

If you have any questions, please feel f ree to contact me en 646-2571.
