CARLONE DEPUTY DIRECTOR YESOURCES, COMMUNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY CONSERVATION AND POWER HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND COMMERCE ON EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AROUND NUCLEAR POWERPLANTS, Our statement highlights General Accounting Office's work on Federal, State, and local emergency planning and preparedness for responding to a nuclear powerplant accident. In brief the statement covers --Our 1979 report in which we recommended that NRC allow nuclear powerplants to begin operation only where State and local emergency response plans contain all of NRC's essential planning elements. We concluded that if State or local authorities were unable to demonstrate their continued ability to protect public health and safety a potential site should be eliminated. --We are finalizing our most recent work which was focused on FEMA's operations. Our preliminary indications are that many States and communities with nuclear powerplants, are still not adequately prepared to respond to an emergency. --Development of acceptable offsite response plans is a difficult process requiring full participation of a myriad of Federal, State, and local agencies. 122039 / C )0 3j7
