Federal Emergency Management Agency Region V 536 South Clark Street, 6th Floor Chicago, IL 60605-1521 Mr. James E. Dyer, Regional Administrator U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region III 801 Warrenville Road Lisle, Illinois 60532-4351
Dear Mr. Dyer:
Enclosed is a copy of the final report for the April 9, 2002, Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the offsite radiological emergency response plan, site-specific to the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The State of Ohio, Lake, Ashtabula and Geauga Counties participated in this exercise.
First Energy Corporation, the utility owner/operator also participated in this exercise. Copies of this Report were transmitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region III, the FEMA National Office and the State of Ohio.
There were no Deficiencies and two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) that were identified as a result of this exercise. The ARCAs were assessed against Ashtabula and Geauga Counties under Criterion 6.a.1, Support Operations/Facilities.Monitoring personnel at both facilities demonstrations did not determine the amount of contamination in mRlhr and were unaware that this value was needed to comply with their procedures in the event a contaminated individual needed medical assistance. Ashtabula County corrected the ARCA on the spot through additional training and re-demonstration. The ARCA for Geauga County will remain until they can re-demonstrate. Two prior ARCAs that were corrected during this exercise are identified under Criterion 5.b. 1: Emergency Notification and PublicInformation and Criterion 6.d. 1: Medical Services - Transportationand Treatment of ContaminatedInjuredIndividuals.
Based on the results of the April 9, 2002, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Ohio, Lake, Ashtabula and Geauga Counties, site-specific to the Perry Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented. These plans are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.
Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Ohio, Lake, Ashtabula and Geauga Counties, granted on June 17, 1994, will remain in effect.
If you should have any questions, please call me or have a member of your staff contact Woodie Curtis at (312) 408-5528.

SUMMARY
On April 9, 2002, an exercise was conducted in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Perry Nuclear Power Plant by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures.
The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on March 21, 2000.
The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 28, 198 4.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Ohio, the risk counties of Lake, Ashtabula, and Geauga participated along with the State government.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all participants was evident during this exercise.
This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise.
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies and two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) that were identified as a result of this exercise. The ARCAs were assessed against Ashtabula and Geauga Counties under Criterion 6.a. 1, Support Operations/Facilities.Monitoring personnel at both facilities demonstrations did not determine the amount of contamination in mR/hr and were unaware that this value was needed to comply with their procedures in the event a contaminated individual needed medical assistance. Ashtabula County corrected the ARCA on the spot through additional training and re-demonstration. The ARCA for Geauga County will remain until they can re-demonstrate. Two prior ARCAs that were corrected during this exercise are identified under Criterion 5.b. 1: Emergency Notification and PublicInformation and Criterion 6.d.1: Medical Services - Transportationand Treatment of Contaminated InjuredIndividuals.

II. INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local government participation in joint exercises with licensees.
FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:
Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol.
58, No. 176, September 14, 1993);
and Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:
- U.S. Department of Commerce,
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
- U.S. Department of Energy,
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
- U.S. Department of Transportation,
- U.S. Department of Agriculture,
- U.S. Department of the Interior, and
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC) which is chaired by FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant to FEMA Region by the State of Ohio and involved local jurisdictions occurred V on May 24, 1989. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on June 17, 1994, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP exercise was conducted on April 9, 2002, by FEMA Region V to assess the capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Director.
The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:
- NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual,"
September 1991; and FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology," as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol.
67, dated No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

III. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information exercise to test the offsite emergency response relevant to the April 9, 2002, capabilities in the area surrounding the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
A. Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) reactor units one and two are located on the southeast shoreline of Lake Erie in Lake County, Ohio. The site is approximately 7 miles northeast of Painesville, Ohio and thirty-five miles east of Cleveland, Ohio.
The plant site occupies approximately 1100 acres on a lake plain fifty feet above.
the lake low-water datum. The terrain surrounding the plant is essentially flat within 5 miles of the lakeshore. Rising generally to the south, the site is broken only by a lattice work of shallow, north-south stream beds and low, almost unnoticeable east-west ridges: the latter are remnants of ancient lake-shores.
About 5 miles inland, the shoreline plane is abruptly cut by a 100-foot-deep ravine of the Grand River. The terrain south of the river is more rolling, interrupted by north-south ravines of tributaries of the Grand, Kellogg, Big, Paine, and Mill creeks and several smaller streams. A large portion of the site is forested, some two hundred and fifty acres are devoted to the plant structural complex and the remainder is open grassland.
Lake County, where the nuclear power plant is located, is the smallest of Ohio's eighty-eight counties, with two hundred and thirty-two square miles. It has the twelfth largest ranking population with 215,499 residents. The 2000 census approximates the population to be 200,800 residents currently within the I0-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ). An additional 13, 715 residents of Geneva and Harpersfield Townships in Ashtabula County are within the 10-mile EPZ. The nuclear power plant EPZ also affects portions of Geauga County to the south, with an estimated 1,997 residents living within the 10-mile EPZ.
The fifty-mile radius of the ingestion Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) has a census population of 2,782,154.
FirstEnergy Corporation owns the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

B. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in a jurisdiction based, issues only format. Presented below is a definition of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.
Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies was assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
Area Requiring Corrective Actions - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that remain unresolved.
Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise criteria which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.
Prior Issues - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises, which were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions, demonstrated.
Prior Issues - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises, which were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCA remains unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues, which are discussed in this report.
A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant."
An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified in adequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by 12
itself, to adversely impact public health and safety."
FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It also expedites tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.
The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
- Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number, corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
Exercise Year - Last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
Criterion Number - A two-digit number corresponding to the criterion in FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology," as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, dated No. 80, dated April 25, 2002 Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA)
Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
Plan issues are reported to the State(s) via letter from the Regional Director.
Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.
Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number, assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

Issue No.: 47-00-20-A-03
Description:
The Utility health physics technician (HPT) used improper procedures for monitoring ambulance personnel at the hospital. He did not wear gloves and used his index finger to maintain a fixed distance from skin and clothing surfaces, thus dragging his finger tip along the survey path while cupping the detector portion of the "frisker" between his fingers and thumb. At other times, when the frisker was held by the handle, the detector made frequent contact with clothing surfaces. The probe was not covered during the demonstration.
These practices could have contributed to the spread of contamination to the HPT and anything handled by the HPT. (Objective 20: NUTREG 0654, L.3.)
Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Perry Nuclear Power Plant Health Physics Technicians demonstrated knowledge of proper offsite procedures, which were to use gloves when monitoring and assisting offsite at the Lake West Hospital.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE OBJECTIVES AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criterion that were scheduled for demonstration in the Perry Nuclear Power Plant exercise on April 9, 2002, extent-of-play agreement approved by FEMA Region V on March 22, 2002.
The exercise criterion, contained in FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology," September 12,2001, represents a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980.
Because the exercise criterion are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the objectives.
A. Exercise Criterion Listed below are the specific radiological emergency preparedness criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO This appendix contains a summary of the simulated exercise scenario events, which was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations in the Perry Nuclear Power Plant exercise on April 9, 2002 This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Ohio and First Energy Corporation, and approved by FEMA Region V on March 27, 2002.
During the exercise, controllers from the State of Ohio "inject messages,"
containing scenario events and/or relevant data, to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking response actions by OROs.
SCENARIO
SUMMARY
0730 Exercise begins 0735 A fire breaks out on the 620' evaluation of the Intermediate Building (IB) when used oil and cleaning chemicals, temporarily stored outside the AEGTS 'B' Fan Room during turnover, ignite due to an unknown cause. A Plant Operator on rounds is not successful In extinguishing the fire. The Plant Operator reports the fire to the Control Room.
Additionally, the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) receive a smoke detector computer alarm for AUX. Building Exhaust system. SAS tones out the Fire Brigade and requests off-site fire fighting assistance through the Lake County '911' Dispatcher.
0752 ESW 'A' pump auto starts due to a hot short condition in a control cables as a result of the fire in the IB 620.
0800 Control Room Shift Manager should declare an ALERT classification per EPI-Al, Initiating Condition FA1, "Fire within a Safe Shutdown Building NOT extinguished within 15 minutes", if the impact on safe shutdown equipment has not been determined.
Note: The Control Room Shift manager may initially declare an UNUSUAL EVENT, EPI-Al, Initiating Condition FUl, "Fire within a Safe Shutdown Building NOT extinguished within 15 minutes", if the impact on safe shutdown equipment has not been determined.
85
0930 The velocity feedback signal for Flow Control Valve (FCV), 1B33D0004A, fails low.
The RECIRC Flow Control System responds by driving FCV "A" open, causing a reactor power excursion and subsequent Reactor Protection System (RPS) actuation. RPS fails.
Reactor power is reduced to between 5-10% due to manual operator actions at panel 1H13-P680 per Plant Emergency instruction (PEJ) B13, ATWS.
These actions are successful in inserting additional control rods. Reactor power stabilizes at greater than 4%. Operators should initiate boron injection using SLC "A" based on control rod pattern.
The criterion for a SITE AREA EMERGENCY (SAE) classification per EPI-Al, Initiating Condition CS1 is met to manual operator actions being unsuccessful in lowering Rx power to <4%. A site evacuation should be initiated for personnel accountability per EPI-B5, and the activation of the EOF and Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) initiated.
1030 Based on increasing Steam Tunnel temperatures and radiation levels, Operators should determine that the RCIC steam supply line has not been isolated.
An additional SITE AREA EMERGENCY is classified per EPI-Al, Initial Condition AS3 due to an unisolable primary system discharging outside Containment per PEI-NI 1, "Containment Leakage Control," based on a challenge of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and a loss of the Containment barrier.
1105 A weld failure occurs on the upstream (RPV) side of RCIC Steam Supply Outboard Isolation Valve. Position indication is lost for the valve due to an electrical short at the valve caused by the release of steam.
Steam Tunnel temperatures increase dramatically above isolation set points. Elevated radiation levels are indicated the Steam Tunnel and at the Turbine Building/Heater Bay Vent monitor.
1110 A RCIC steam line break at the E51F064 valve fails catastrophically (10" line), resulting in a gradual RPV depressurization. RPV water level is maintained using the motor feed pump (MFP).
Radiation levels increase in the Drywell/Containment, Steam Tunnel, and out the TB/HB Vent indicating a challenge or loss to the Fuel Clad barrier.
1155 GENERAL EMERGENCY is declared based on Initiating Conditions AGI "Loss of two barriers, and a loss or challenge to the third barrier," or HG1 "Site Boundary dose resulting from an actual or imminent release of radioactivity that exceeds 1000 mrem TEDE dose or 5000 mrem CDE Child Thyroid dose for actual or projected duration of the release.
86
Based on projected doses, the General Emergency default recommendation of EVACUATION Sub areas 1, 2 and Lake should be recommended.
1315 A wind shift occurs that should result in the issuance of a revised offsite protective action recommendation (PAR) by the Perry Plant to EVACUATE Sub areas 1, 2, 3 and Lake.
1340 Either the RPV is depressurized, or repairs to the RCIC Inboard Isolation Valve, E51 F063, are complete and the valve is successfully closed isolating the release pathway.
1400 Offsite release plume has dissipated. Commence onsite Recovery discussion.
