MISSISSIPPI RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN 2020 MREPP Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, Office of Response and Radiological Emergency Preparedness October 2020 2020 MREPP This page left blank intentionally. ii 01 October 2020 2020 MREPP Promulgation Statement Transmitted herewith is the revised Mississippi Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (MREPP). This plan supersedes all previous plans and may not be reproduced without prior authorization. It provides a framework for structuring and planning State and Local Civil Defense/Emergency Management offsite emergency response to radiological emergencies. Inherent in the issuance of this plan, as an integral part of the Mississippi Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, is recognition of the interrelationship between radiological emergency preparedness planning and other emergency planning. The State's overall emergency planning effort is based on the premise that similarities among the various emergencies, which threaten the public, require maximum standardization of procedures and practices to the extent possible. The State also recognizes the dynamics associated with planning and, consequently, plan upgrading will be accomplished at least annually, and in the ultimate will be a continuing process with the objective of protection of the people from personal injury or loss of life and mitigation of damage or loss of property resulting from radiological emergencies. By virtue of the authority vested in me, by the Constitution of Mississippi and Title 33, Chapter 15, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, I hereby promulgate and issue the MREPP as the official guidance of all concerned. It is in the opinion of the State, the plans/procedures are adequate to protect the health and safety of its citizens by providing reasonable assurance that state, local, and tribal governments can and intend to effect appropriate protective measures offsite in the event of a radiological emergency (44 CFR 350.7(d)). _____________________________ __________ Tate Reeves Date Governor State of Mississippi _____________________________ __________ Gregory S.

It has been developed in accordance with NUREG-0654, FEMA REP-1, Revision 2, December 2019, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," FEMA P-1028, December 2019, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual," EPA-400/R-17/001, January 2017, “Protective Action Guides and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents,” and applicable FEMA Guidance Memoranda. This plan, a part of the overall Mississippi Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, is designed to protect the health, safety, and property of the citizens of Mississippi from all hazards, both natural, man-made, and technological. This volume addresses the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) in Mississippi and the River Bend Station (RBS) in Louisiana and establishes the planning concepts to be followed in responding to emergency situations in and around these plants. The plan is divided into a Basic Plan and Annexes. The Basic Plan provides a general overview of the response operation, which includes the identification of organizations with a response role, their general responsibilities, and the coordination among those agencies. The Annexes, which are specific in nature, define actions that must be accomplished and assign responsibilities to those agencies that must carry out those actions. Included are related plans that, when taken in their totality, provide a coordinated and predictable response; thus, ensuring the best chance of protecting the citizens of Mississippi. v 01 October 2020 2020 MREPP This page left blank intentionally. vi 01 October 2020 2020 MREPP Mississippi Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan Record of Revisions Local and state officials review this plan periodically to ensure its adequacy and timeliness.
