Dear Mr. Dyer:

Enclosed is one copy of the Final Report for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Plume Pathway Exercise, conducted on June 18, 2002.

This report was also transmitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Washington, D.

C., the FEMA National Office, the State of Ohio and Columbiana County.

There were no Deficiencies identified during this exercise. There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified in Columbiana County as a result of this exercise. The ARCA was assessed against Columbiana County under Criterion5.a. 1, Alert andNotification.

The initial instructional message to the public did not include as a minimum all of the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance. (10 CFR part 50, Appendix E.IV.D and NUREG 0654, E.5, 6, 7) This ARCA was corrected on June 19, 2002, through provision of updated messages that included the minimum required elements.

Based on the results of the June 18, 2002, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Ohio, Columbiana County, site-specific to the Beaver Valley Power Station 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 and Columbiana County, granted on June 15, 1987, will remain in effect.

SUMMARY

On June 18, 2002, an exercise was conducted in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Beaver Valley Power 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 (RERP) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on June 27, 2000. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 28, 1984.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Ohio, the risk county of Columbiana 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.

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 during this exercise. There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified in Columbiana County as a result of this exercise. The ARCA was assessed against Columbiana County under Criterion 5.a.1, Alert andNotification. The initial instructional message to the public did not include as a minimum all of the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance.. (10 CFR part 50, Appendix E.IV.D and NUREG-0654, E.5, 6, 7). This ARCA was re demonstrated on June 19, 2002, through provision of updated messages that included the required elements.

Two prior ARCAs were assessed against Columbiana County under Criterion1.c.1:

Direction and Control,where key personnel with leadership roles did not furnished all the EOC staff members vital and pertinent information, and Criterion5.b.1, Emergency Information and Instructionsfor the Public,where required information for the public was not furnished through special bulletins following the issuance of an EAS message, were corrected during this exercise. A third prior ARCA identified under Criterion6.a. 1, Support Operations/Facilities, where the monitors performing at East Palestine School Reception Center were not thoroughly briefed on survey reading that.indicates contamination, will remain until this location can re-demonstrate. Detailed information on each of these issues is included in Section IV of this report.

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.

2

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Beaver Valley Power Station to FEMA Region V by the State of Ohio and involved local jurisdictions occurred on January 23, 1986.

Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on June 15, 1987, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was conducted on June 18, 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 Beaver Valley Power Station. 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.

Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview," presents basic information 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 that 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 information on the demonstration of applicable exercise criteria at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. This section also contains: (1) descriptions of all ARCAs 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 resolved ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs' efforts to resolve them.

B. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in ajurisdiction 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 objectives 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 objectives 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 objectives 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 objectives 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."

9

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 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 - 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 Notice/Vol. 67, No. 80, 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 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.

Description:

The two monitors performing initial monitoring of evacuees at the East Palestine School Complex Reception Center were confused over the survey meter reading that indicated contamination, although the contamination level was posted on a sheet of paper on the wall behind the monitors.

Recommendation: The monitors at the East Palestine School Reception Center should be thoroughly briefed, before monitoring begins, on the survey meter reading that indicates contamination. They should also be told that information on contamination level is posted on the wall behind them. It may also be helpful if the information on the contamination trigger point was posted more prominently, such as posting the level in large type and block letters rather than on a small typewritten page.

Schedule of Corrective Action: The radiological monitors performing surveys will be briefed on the survey meter reading that indicates contamination. They will be reminded that contamination level information is also posted in the monitoring areas. The poster containing the contamination trigger point will be revised so the level is in large type and block letters.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE OBJECTIVES AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criterion that were scheduled for demonstration in the Beaver Valley Power Station exercise on June 18, 2002, extent-of-play agreement approved by FEMA Region V on May 27, 2002.

The exercise criterion, contained in FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology," April 25, 2002, 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 Criteria Listed below are the specific radiological emergency preparedness criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.

7. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.

8. Re-demonstrations During the out of sequence demonstrations on June 17, 18 and 19, 2002, or the plume phase demonstrations on June 18, 2002. Criteria that can be re demonstrated immediately for credit, at the decision of the evaluator, include the following: 3.a.1, 3.d.1, 3.d.2, 6.a.1, 6.b.1, 6.c.1 and 6.d.1. Criteria that may be re-demonstrated, as approved on a case-by-case basis by the Chairperson of the Regional Assistance Committee, include the following:

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO This appendix contains a summary of the simulated sequence of events -- Exercise Scenario --

which was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations in the Beaver Valley Power Plant exercise on June 18, 2002.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Ohio and First Energy Company, and approved by FEMA Region V on May 26, 2002.

During the exercise, controllers from the State of Ohio gave" 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

1600 Beaver Valley Power Station Evaluated Exercise begins.

1615 During the performance of OST-1.36.2, #2 D/G catches fire, the Operators evacuate the DG Room and activate the C02 system, which extinguishes the fire.

1630 An Alert should be declared base on EPP/I-la, EAL 4.1 "Fire, fire affecting Safety Related equipment (Diesel Generator)".

Beepers are activated, and notifications are begun to plant personnel, the NRC and offsite agencies per EPP/I-3 (Alert). The onsite Emergency Response Organization begins activating the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support (OSC). Personnel in the Emergency Operations (EOF) and Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) are placed on standby.

1657 The Motor Driven Aux Feedwater pump (FW-P-3A) trips due to spurious activation of the Ground Overcurrent Relay.

1800 A SITE AREA EMERGENCY should be declared based on EPP/I-la, EAL's 2.3, "Failure of Reactor Protection. Reactor trip failure after VALID Trip signal with reactor power>

5% and attempts to cause a manual trip from the control room are unsuccessful."

1810 Containment Instrument Air Compressor 1A due to lack of chilled water. There are currently no Station Air Compressors and no Chilled Water.

A Site Area Emergency should be declared by now. The controller should use the contingency card provided if this action has not been completed, however, if discussions are underway which the Controller feels will lead to the declaration, this CIS may be held for an additional time period.

66

1820 The Diesel Air Compressor is started. The Pressurized Relief Tank (PRT) Rupture disk fails allowing RCS to enter the containment Building. Containment radiation levels begin to slowly rise.

1857 The Steam Generator Atmospheric Dump Valve (which has been cycling) on the S/G which is now being provided Feedwater, sticks in the OPEN position. (a Faulted S/G). Non-radioactive steam is being released to the environment.

1900 A Steam Generator Tube Rupture (800 gpm) occurs in the Faulted S/G. The RCS Letdown and Main Steam Radiation Monitors alarm. A radioactive release to the environment has begun.

1915 A General Emergency IS DECLARED BASED ON epp/I-IA, eal 7.1, Gaseous Effluent".

Also, a protective action recommendation of evacuate 10 miles, 360 degrees" is recommended due to dose projections, or declaration on EAL's 1.3.4 Containment Bypass, 1.2.4 Primary to Secondary Leak and 1.1.1 Critical Safety Function Status. Also, a protective action recommendation of "Evacuate 0-5 miles 360 degrees and Shelter the remainder of the 10-mile EPZ". (upon dose projection results being available, the PAR should be upgraded to evacuate 10 miles 360 degrees.)

1925 A General Emergency should be declared by now. The Controller should use the contingency card provided if this action has not been completed, however, if discussions are underway which the Controller feels will lead to the declaration of the emergency classification, this CIS may be held for any additional time period.

20:00 The stuck open Atmospheric Dump Valve closes. The release to the environment ends.

2035 Due to a weather front, meteorological conditions improve, the plume has dispersed and offsite readings have returned to background.

The front of the plume reached the Ohio/West Virginia border. With the weather front passing through the area, the plume transit speed slows.

2100 Termination and Recovery discussions may begin.

2130 The Exercise is terminated.
