I. EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On October 9,2002, an exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station 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 (RERPs) and procedures.

The previous exercise at this site was conducted on March 1,2000. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 6, 1985.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois the risk counties of Will, Grundy, and Kankakee 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 of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

State of Illinois Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees IEmergency Workers - Evacuee Registration Will County Implementation of Protective Actions - Schools - (EV - 2)

Grundy County Implementation of Protective Actions - Schools - (EV - 2)

Kankakee County Implementation of Protective Actions - Schools - (EV - 2)

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 or new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified as a result of this exercise. Two ARCAs (Objectives 5 and 14) assessed against the State ofIllinois, relating to the Medical Services MS-l Drill demonstration at the Clinton Power Station (1998) Exercise remain unresolved. An ARCA (Objective 11, Public instructions and Emergency Information) issued to Grundy County at the (2000) LaSalle Exercise was resolved.

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) Parts350, 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 governments' 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 the evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;

• Responding to requests by the US. 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, US. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, US. 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.

Fonnal submission ofthe RERPs for the Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station to FEMA Region V by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on January 9, 1987. Fonnal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on April 15, 1988, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was conducted on October 9, 2002, by FEMA Region V, to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the perfonnance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations ofthe Federal evaluator team, with final detenninations 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-l, 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 NoticeNol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview," presents basic infonnation and data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

Section IV of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed infonnation on the demonstration of applicable exercise criteria at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in ajurisdiction-based, issues only fonnat. This section also contains: (1) description of all Deficiencies and ARC As assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the State and local governments' schedule of corrective actions for each identified exercise issue; and (2) descriptions of unresolved ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs' efforts to resolve them.

III. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the October 9, 2002, exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station. This section ofthe exercise report includes a description of the 1O-mile plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which 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 Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station is located in the State of Illinois. The Station is located on a 4,162 acres site in Reed Township in Southwest Will County, two miles south of Braidwood, Illinois, and three miles west of the Kankakee River. The Braidwood station site is relatively flat with an elevation of 589 feet above sea level. The landscape has been impacted by coal strip mining operations. The latitude for the site is 41 0 14' 46" north, and the longitude is 88 0 13' 08" west. Two pressurized water reactors are located at the site; and each generates a maximum output of 1, 120MW. Unit I started commercial operations in July 1988, and Unit 2 started in October 1988.

The 1990 permanent residential population within two miles ofthe Braidwood Station is 593; the population within five miles of the Braidwood Station is 12,604; and the population within ten miles is 26,011. The population distribution in the 10-mile EPZ is relatively low: The largest of the eleven communities is Wilmington, which has 4,743 residents. The peak total resident and transient population inside the 10-mile EPZ is 53,368 with seasonal variations.

Primary land use within five miles of the Braidwood Station is primarily agricultural, with cash grain crops of com and soybeans. The closest industries are located within ten miles in the communities of Wilmington, Gardner and Coal City. There are six recreational facilities located in the 10 mile EPZ which can accommodate between 1,000 and 3,000 individuals each.

Major transportation facilities within the Braidwood Station 10-mile EPZ are limited to interstate 55, which passes one and one-half (1&112) miles west of the Station itself, and five railroads. The railroads are; the Union Pacific Railroad (one mile west of the station); the Burlington Northern and Sante Fe Railroad (four miles northwest of the station); the Consolidated Rail Corporation (9 112 miles south of the station); and the Elgin, the Joliet and the Eastern Railway Company which is ten miles northwest of the Braidwood Station.

B. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides infonnation on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in a jurisdiction based, issues only format. Presented below is a definition of the tenns used in this subsection relative to criterion demonstration status.

• Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or AReAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no AReAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.

• Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies were 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 AReAs were assessed during the current exercise or AReAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the AReAs 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 ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of AReAs assessed during previous exercises which were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

• Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of AReAs assessed during prior exercises which were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the AReA 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 perfonnance 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."

12

• An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "... an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational perfonnance in an exercise that is not considered, by 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 Region*s and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number for Deficiencies and AReAs 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 - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.

• Criterion Number - An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register NoticeNol. 67, No. 80 dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.

• 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 a 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.: 13-98-05-A-Ol

Description:

It was determined, through interviews and observation, that the John Warner Hospital ambulance crew has not been trained on the use of dosimetry. They were not knowledgeable of their administrative dose limits or of the radiation exposure reading/recording procedures (NUREG-0654: H.l 0 and K.3.a).

Recommendation: The John Warner Hospital ambulance crews should receive training in the use of dosimetry and administrative exposure levels, and recording procedures. Additionally, the John Warner/Ambulance Emergency Plan should be revised to reflect these emergency worker protection procedures.

Scheduled of Corrective Actions: Per the IEMA response to this issue, dated May 5, 1999, beginning in 1999. The State of Illinois' proposal under a Pilot Program presented to FEMA is that the State will continue to conduct medical drills to test the State's emergency medical system at the frequency required by FEMA guidance.

FEMA's Response: Medical Services Drills are being conducted under a Pilot Program presented by the State on May 5, 1999, and to date have not met the FEMA Guidance Memorandum (GM) MS-l requirements. The Pilot Program 17

remains under evaluation and we are working with IEMA and IDNS staffto further demonstrate State and offsite medical capability.

Issue No.: 13-98-14-A-02

Description:

By interview with the John Warner Hospital's an1bulance personnel, it was determined that neither Kl nor appropriate information on the use ofKl was issued to the responding ambulance personnel. Training on the use of Kl by ambulance personnel has not been conducted, and a discussion with the hospita1's ambulance director resulted in agreement that a training program was needed and should be implemented (NUREG-0654: H.l 0 and K.3.a).

Recommendation: The Clinton Ambulance crew should receive training in the use ofKl. Also, the John Warner Hospital/Ambulance Emergency Plan should be revised to be consistent with the requirements ofNUREG-0654.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: The corrective actions for this ARCA are dependent on the outcome ofFEMA's decision on the State's proposal, as cited in the Schedule of Corrective Actions response for Issue Number 13-98-05-A-Ol.

FEMA's Response: Medical Services Drills are being conducted under a Pilot Program presented by the State on May 5, 1999, and to date have not met the FEMA Guidance Memorandum (GM) MS-l requirements. The Pilot Program remains under evaluation and we are working with IEMA and IDNS staff to further demonstrate State and offsite medical capability.

Description:

The EBS radio station (WCSJ/AM) used by Grundy County for disseminating emergency information to the public does not maintain a 24-hour staff capability.

Recommendation: Provisions should be made so the 24-hour capability requirement to disseminate emergency information to the public is met.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: Grundy County EMA is working with WCSJ to provide the ability to broadcast emergency messages on a 24-hour basis. This issue should be resolved in the first quarter of calendar year 2001.

FEMA Comment: Grundy County has established a Letter of Agreement with Will County, who has a 24-hour capability to issue emergency messages to the public on behalf of Grundy County for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station only. The radio station (WCSJ) is also responsible for broadcasting emergency information for Grundy County during an incident at the LaSalle or Braidwood Power Stations, not withstanding adverse environmental conditions, such as floods and power outages. Grundy County is continuing their effort to work with WCSJ and alternate radio stations to obtain a 24-hour capability.

In addition, this issue had previously addressed WCSJ Radio Station's inability to supply backup power. There is no requirement for backup power capability at radio stations, however, it is the responsibility of the Counties to identify alternate means of providing information to the pUblic.
