SUBJECT:
LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY LEVEL 1 FINDING FROM 2019 EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:
On November 19, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) completed an evaluation of an emergency preparedness exercise at Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. During this exercise, FEMA identified a Level 1 issue related to the performance of activities in the Skippack Township Emergency Management Agency. This letter is publicly available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML19336A156.
Enclosed is correspondence from FEMA Region III to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, dated November 22, 2019, which provides detailed information about each of the issues involved in the Level 1 finding. As discussed in our November 26, 2019, telephone call, the NRC is performing our responsibilities described in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between FEMA and NRC (Appendix A to 44 CFR 353). This MOU is also available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML15344A371. Specifically, this letter and its enclosure serve as formal notification of the Level I finding and our responsibility to monitor Exelons efforts to work with State and local authorities to correct the identified inadequacy.
Approximately 60 days after official notification of the Level I finding, the NRC, in consultation with FEMA, will assess the progress being made towards resolution. This is to ensure that

reasonable assurance remains, and the offsite organizations retain their ability to take appropriate protective measures to ensure the health and safety of the public.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (610) 337-5200.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Fred L. Bower, III, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 05000352 and 05000353 License Nos. NPF-39 and NPF-85
