Re: REQUEST FOR FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY CONSULTATION ON THE DOMINION ENERGY PROPOSAL TO CONSOLIDATE THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY FOR THE VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1

Dear Mr. Norris :

The FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) P rogram received your letter dated July6, 2023,requesting FEMA's consultation of the Dominion Energy South Carolina (DESC) J une 8, 2023,request to NRC for a license amendment approval to the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) Unit 1 Emergency Plan.DESC proposes to replace the existing VCSNS near -site Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), and the Joint Information Center (JIC)from Ballentine, South Carolina and West Columbia, SouthCarolina, respectively, to the Dominion Energy Corporate Emergency Response Center in GlenAllen, Virginia.

The FEMA Region 4REP staff and HQ reviewed the proposed consolidations of the EOF /J IC to determine the adequacy of offsite radiological emergency plans and preparedness. FEMA finds that with minor adjustments (outlined in the FEMA Region 4 enclosure) the offsite plans and procedures are not negatively impacted by the proposed changes.

Sincerely,

Thomas K. Warnock Chief Radiological Emergency Preparedness Branch
