Dear Mr. Taylor:

This is to transmit the enclosed two reports updating materials included in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) December 1988 consolidated finding on the Seabrook Huclear Power Station. The first report is the February 1990 Review and Evaluation of the State of New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response Plan (NHRERP) for Seabrook Station. Tnis report updates ,

the December 1988 Review and Evaluation of the NHRERP. The second report  ;

is the January 1990 Report on the Status of Corrective Actions, First Exercise and Drill Cycle,1988 to 1994, of the States of Maine and New Hampshire and New Hampshire Yankee's Of fsite Response Organization for the Seabrook Station. The second report updates and retitles the December 1 1988 Status of Corrective Actions for the 1988 FEMA Graded Exercise.

The February 1990 Review and Evaluation of the NHRERP is based on revisions of that plan recently distributed by the State of New Hampshire. The evaluation  !

continues to support FEMA's finding that New Hampshire's plans and preparedness are adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the t New Hampshire portion of the Seabrook Emergency Planning Zone, by providing l reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite f in the event of a radiological emergency and are capaDie of being implemented, If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 646-3692. We  :

will be forwarding additional copies of these reports under separate cover.

Sincerely, fcf/ A Grant C. Peterson Associate Director State and Local Programs and Support Enclosures As Stated

SUBJECT:

Dcercise Report for the June 28-29, 1988, Exercise of the Offsite Radiological Dnergency Preparedness Plans  ;

for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station Attached is a copy of the D(ercise Peport of the June 28-29,1988, joint i exercise of the offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans for the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station. he report dated September 1,1988, was prepared by Region I of the Federal Dnergency Management Agency (FD4A).

As indicated in your menorandum of June 23, 1988, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) agreed that the progosed Seabrook exercise objectives as transmitted to you with my memorandum of June 22,.1988, were suffi-  !

cient to: 1) demonstrate the capabilities of the States of New Hampshire and Maine and the New Hampshire Yankee Offsite }esponse' organization i in a full-participation exercise; and, 2) constitute a " qualifying" exercise under NRC's Rule 10 CPR Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.1.  ;

he State of Maine participated in the exercise. We State of New Hampshire and eleven local canmunities within the plume exposure emergency ,

planning zone (EPZ) also participated in the exercise. New Hampshire, in i accon$ance with its plan, implemented State compensatory actions for the six ccmmunities within the' plume EPZ which chose not to participate in i the exercise. In addition, the Comonwealth of Massachusetts and six - '

tussachusetts ccmnunities within the plume EPZ did not participate in  !

the exercise. We Seabrook Plan for Massachusetts Ccnmunities (SPMC) i developed by New Hampshire Yankee (NHY), was exercised by the NHY, Offsite Response Organization. We SPMC was developed by NHY because  ;

the Camonwealth and local Fbssachusetts coumunities are not partici-  :

pating in offsite radiological emengency 9reparedness for Seabrcok.

4 f

f 7he review and evaluation of the utility's offsite plans and preparedness were performed using the criteria of NUREG-0654/FD4A-REP-1, Rev.1, Supp.1 and the NRC assumptions upon which it is based. Those assumptions are that in an actual radiological emergency, State and local officials that have -

declined to participate in e:ergency planning wills

a. IXercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety -

of the public;

b. Cooperate with the utility and follow the utility offsite plant and,

c. Have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the utility offsite plan where State and-local response is necessary.

There were no deficiencies identified during the exercise; however, '

areas requiring corrective action were identified. The states of New ,

Hampshire ard Maine, and New Hampshire Yankee have provided a schedule of corrective actions, which are reflected in the report. i If you have any questions, please contact me at 646-2871. -
