Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 160 / Thursday, August 21, 2025 / Notices

Overview:
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) runs the Radiological
Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program.
This program helps state, tribal, and
local governments plan, train, and
prepare for emergencies involving
commercial nuclear power facilities. It
ensures that these governments can
respond to and recover from such
incidents. Legal Background: Section
109 of the NRC Authorization Act of
1980 (Pub. L. 96–295) requires the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
to include emergency preparedness as a
condition for licensing nuclear power
plants. This means that before a plant
can operate, there must be an emergency
response plan that meets FEMA and
NRC standards. If there is no state or
local plan, an alternative plan must
provide reasonable assurance that
public health and safety are protected.
Regulations: The NRC has set
regulations in 10 CFR part 50, which
include 16 planning standards for
emergency plans. FEMA has similar
standards in 44 CFR part 350. FEMA
reviews offsite emergency plans and
preparedness in communities around
commercial nuclear power facilities.
States must conduct joint exercises
involving local governments, the state,
and the NRC licensee to ensure these
plans are effective (see 44 CFR part
350.9). Reasonable Assurance: FEMA
defines ‘‘reasonable assurance’’ as
having adequate plans and preparedness
to protect public health and safety in the
event of an incident at a commercial
nuclear power facility. This includes
having the right procedures, trained
personnel, facilities, equipment, and
regular drills and exercises. FEMA
works with other Federal agencies,
State, Tribal, and local governments,
and industry stakeholders to make this
determination. Voluntary Participation:
While participation in offsite
radiological emergency planning is
voluntary, those who choose to
participate must follow the program
requirements in 44 CFR part 350 and the
joint NRC/FEMA document NUREG–
0654/FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 2, ‘‘Criteria for
Preparation and Evaluation of
Radiological Emergency Response Plans
and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ and the REP Program
Manual (RPM) provides detailed
guidance on these requirements.
