1. EXECUTIVE SUMiMARY On November 19-20,2002, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV conducted a full participation ingestion pathway exercise around the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and Local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (REKP) and procedures.

TRe previous exercise at this site was conducted on November 14,2000. The qualiving emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on August 17-19, 1981.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in the development and conduct of this exercise inchding the employees and volunteers &om the State of North Carolina, Hrunswick, New iIanover, Bladen, Columbus and Fender Counties in North Carolina and Horry County in South Carolina.

Protecting the public health and safcty is the hli-time job of some of the exercise participants. Others have williigly 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.

One limiting factor to the excellent staffand operation in New f Ianovcr County is the limited sue of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Larger EQCs in New Hanover County and at the State level would generally enhance e.mergencyresponse operations.

State and local organi7ations, except where noted, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. No Deficiencies were identified. One Area Kequiuig Corrective Action was identified at the Joint Information Center concerning the fact that the supplemental news release was not eflectively L i e d to the EAS message.

11. INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assurne the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activitks 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 Prepwedness (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 government's 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 iicensces.

FEMA's responsibilities in radiolugical emergency plarining for fxed nuclear facilities include the following:

e Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of KERPs and procedures developcd by State and loc.al governments; e 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;

• Kesponding to requests by the US.Nuclear Regnlatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, I993 (Federal Register. Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993);

and e Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

~ Department of Commerce,

- Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

- Enviironmental Protection Agency,

- Department of Energy,

- Department of Health and Human Services,

- Department of Transportation,

- Department of Agriculture, a d

~ Food and Dnng Administration.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the FEh4A Region IV Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

Formal submission of the KERI's for the Brunswick Nuclear Power PIant to FFMA 2

Region IV by the State of North Carolina occurred on March 15, 1981. Formal approval ofthc RERP was granted by FEMA under 44 CFR 350 on March 17, 1982.

The purpose of this report Is to present the exercise results and fmdhgs on the performnnce of the offsite response organbations ( O W ) during a simulated radiologic.al emergency.

The fmdings presented arc based on the evaluation of the Federal evaluator team, with fmal determinations made by the FEMA Region IV Chief Evaluator and RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Director.

Issue NO.: 08-02-A-5.b.1-01 Condition: The Supplemental News Release for Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages was not effectively liked to the initiai EAS broadcast and was not necessarily broadeast by the EAS station.

Possible Cause: The EAS broadcast message originates from the SEOC but the supplemental news release (containing required emergency instructions) is created, released and distributed &om the JIC. An early news release with evacuation Lone descriptions was provided to the media for background infomiation prior to the 14

frst EAS broadcast. It was not identified as suppleniental information to be used by the EAS station following an EAS messages.

Although specific inionnation on the evacuaiion mne description was provided tQ the media during a media briefing the State did not re-release the detailed information as a news release. Other inhmnation concerning reception centers, radiation decont~i~itiation/moni~oru~~, what to take when evacuating, pets, medications, etc., was only included in County news releases fiom the JIC. The New Hanover and Rrunswick Counties' releases did not specifically identify them for use as EAS fi,llow-up mcssaigcs with supplernenta! information.

Reference:

NUREG 0654, E.5,7; G.3.a; G.4.c Effect: EAS stations W ~ O U Inot~ necessarily know what supplemental information was expected to bc broadcast following the EAS broadcast. This could result in thc failure of critical emergency infornutkm bcing broadcast over the EAS station even though the idomxition was covered in detail at the media briefing. Members of the public only listening to the EAS broadcast station might not promptly receive important information.

Recommendation: Specifically develop and identify news releases that contain emergency instructions that are to be broadcast as follow-on histructions with a header that provides unimbiguous instructions to t k media. The EAS supplemental information news relcase should contain priority handling hstructions an$ bc &xed to the EAS station along with the initial EAS message.

Positive verificcation that the suppiemental infomyation has to be received at the station and that the station knows to make an inunediate follow-on broadcast should be obtained !?om the originator afthe JlC, Early advisory news releases that contain information related to the EAS should be re-released with broadcast instructions, as well, Schedule of Corrective Action: The JIC and SECK P I 0 checklists are being reviewed and modified to ensure that follow-on information is specifically identified so that all broadcast stations receiving the information can correctly correlate the infomation with the applicable EAS mcssage.

SUMMARY

OF AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION 3.1 2002 ARCAs 3.1.1 09-02-A-5.b.l-01 Condition: The Supplemental News State of North Carolina Release for EAS messages was not Joint Information Center effectively linked to the initial EAS broadcast and m'as not necessarily broadcast by the EAS station.

Possible Cause: 'The EAS broadcast message originates from the SEOC but the supplemental news release (containing required emergency instructions) is created.

released and distributed from the JIC. An early news release with evacuation zone descriptions was provided to the media for backgound information prior to the fust EAS broadcast. It was not identified as supplemental information to be used by the EAS station following an EAS messages.

Although specific information on the evacuation zone description was provided to the media during a media briefing the State did not re-release the detailed hhrnmtion as a news release. Other information concerning reception centers, radiation decontaminatiodmonitoring, what to take when evacuating, pets, medications, etc.,

was only included in County news releases

&om the SIC. 'The New Ilanover and Hrunswick Counties' releases did not specifically identify them for use as EAS follow-up messages with supplemental information.

Reference:

NUREG 0654, E.5,7; G3.a; G.4.c Effect: EAS station? would not necessarily know what supplemental information was expectcd to be broadcast following the EAS broadcast. 'This could result in the failure of critical emergency information being 24

broadcast over the EAS station even though the information was covered in detail at the media briefing. hlemlvdrs of the public only listening to the EA§ broadcast station might not promptly receive important information.

Recommendation: Specifically develop and identify news releases that contain emergency inslructions that are to be broadcast as follow-on instructions with a header that provides unambiguous instructions to the media. The EAS supplemental klformation news release should contain priority handling instructions and be faxed to the EAS station along with the initial EAS message. Positive verification that the supplemental information has to be received at the station and that the station knows to i-nnke an itmediate follow-on broadcast should be obtained from the originator at the JIC.

Early advisory news releases that contain information related to the EA§ should he re-released with broadcast instructions, us well.

Schedule of Corrective Action: The JIC and S1-02 P I 0 cliecklists sue being reviewed and modified to ensure that follow-on infoimation is specifically identified so that all broadcat stations receivhg the kradimnation can correctly correlate the infonnation with the applicable EAS message.

~0800 Unusual Event Classification The initial plant conditions and shift briefing will be provided to the CR crew. During this time, the crew will be informed of equipment out of service and other irregulari!ies, A Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) to U-2 will occur due to a unknown grid problem. The b a d ciisparclier will provide additional grid problem infomiation. The LQOP results in a reactor scram, Group 1 isolation, all control rods fully insert and SRVs lift to control pressure, and a turbine trip, The LOOP will continue for the duration oh the exercise, Unit 1 ports no visual damage and i s proceeding with normal operations. DG 3 star~s and synchronizes. DG 3 starts and synchronizes then trips 45 seconds later. The crew will enter AOP-036.1.

An UNUSUAL EVENT is declared due to a Loss of off-site power.

~0915 Alert Classification The operating crew will receive a &OCA initiation signal with falling RCS pressure with rising drywell pressure and temperature. This indicates > 50 GPM leak rate and an ALERT is declared due to abnormal primary leak rate. The line break does not cause initiation of LPCI, Core Spray, or ADS for adequate core cooling An Alert is declared due 10 abnormal primary leak rate > 50 GPM

~ 80:4Q Site Area Emergency LPCI initiation is required for adequate core cooling as a result of loss of coolant accident. After the LPCI initiation signal i s received, the RHR A injection valve fails to open. Also, the WCB system fails.

A Site Area Emergency is declared due abnormal primary leak rate with low-pressure coolant injection required for adequate core cooling.

82:15 General Emergency RHR pumps will fail and the operation crew will be unable to provide adequate make-up for the reactor coolant system - General Emergency will be declared - As Rx level continues to drop and level reaches the top of active fuel (TAF), fission products from the damaged fuel are released into the RCS and then into the primary containment (Drywell

&Torus). A RCIC steam line break will occur which will release significant amounts of coolant into the reactor building. When the crew, or personnel in the reactor building, notes the relcase, isolation of the system from the control board will be attempted but unsuccessfui. This provides a release path through the Standby Gas Treatment System.

The Rx Bldg atmosphere will be released through the 2R SBGT system with degraded filtering performance. This will provide the off-site release to exercise the Envirnnnicntal Drill Sec:ioii 3.0 Rev. 0 11-19 Exercise S03.0 Xarrntiie Summary.doc
