SUMMARY

On March 4,2003, a parlial participation exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV. 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 FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.

The previous exercise at this site was conducted on April 24,2001. The qualimg emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on February 28,1987.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. The State ofNorth Carolina and the Risk Counties of Chathan Harnett. Lee and Wake participated in the Shearon Harris exercise. Protecting the publics health rand sdety is the fufl-the job of some of the exercise participants and assigned responsibity of othcrs. Still others have sought this responsibility by voiunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. The work of volunteers enhanced the communities responses to the emergency and FEMA wishes to make special note of their contribution to the success of this exercise and their commitment to protect the health and safety of the public in their communities.

Many ofthe demonstrations for field activities, such as: School relocation; back-up route alerting; lake warning; reception centers; congregate care centers and emergency worker and vehicle decontamination stations were evaluated during the week of February loth, 2003.

Chathaq Hamett, Lee and Wake Counties and the State ofNorth Carolina worked dfigentIy in response to the simulated incident at the plant. Cooperation and teamwork was evident at all locations. No Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action were identified. The ARCA concerning the lack of an effective linkage between the EAS message and follow-on message identitied during the 2002 B w w i c k Nuclear Power Plant exercise was corrected during the March 4,2003 Shearon Ikris exercise.

11. INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all ofiite nuclear planning and response. FEMAs activities ZG conducted pursuant to title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFK) Parts 350, 35 1 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 FEMAs 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.

FEMAs responsibiities in radiorogical emergency planning for futed nuclear facilities include the following:

. Taking the lead in ofFsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of REWs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

. Determining whether such plans and procedures can he impfeincnted 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 QNRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and

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

- Department of Agriculture,

- Department of Commerce,

- Department of Energy,

- Department of Health and Human Services,

~ Department of the Interior,

- Department of Transportation,

- Environmental Protection Agency,

- Food and Drug Administration, and

- Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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

ISSU~NO.: 08-02-A-5.b.l-OB

Description:

The Supplemental News Release for Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages was not effectively l i e d to the hitid EAS broadcast and was not necessarily broadcast by the EAS station. The EAS broadcast message originates &om the S E W but the supplemental news release (containing required emergency instructions) is created, released and distributed from the BG. An early news release with evacuation zone descriptions was provided to the media for background information prior to the fist EAS broadcast. It was not identified as 12

supplemental information to be used by the EAS station following an EAS message.

Corrective Action Demonstrated: The State Plan and JIC procedures call for emergency instructions to be transmitted immediately following the decision to activate the EAS. This vital supplemental information followed the activation of the sirens and issuance of EAS messages at the Site Area Emergency (SAE)and General Emergency (GE) Emergency Classification Ixvels (ECL). Additional emergency information messages that are not preceded hy sirens provide follow-up information to the public (e.g., evacuation zones, closing of schools, protection of livestock, etc.).

During the exercise EAS supplemental information messages were provided to the broadcast stations within five minutes of the EAS message being broadcast. These messages met the established criteria regarding content: They contained 1 Identitication of the authority issuing the emergency message.

Description of the accident.

. Included aii new information.

Clear identification cfthe audience.

Early in the evolution of the emergency, the State provided the public with a description of the emergency zones, evacuation routes and locations of reception centers. The message containing this information was clearly identified as for information only and specifically stated no evacuations had been ordered and the information was heiig provided for public awareness. The differences between emergency instructiom and emergency infomition were emphasized during each media briefing. The practices followed in the release of emergency instruction and information messages that ensured the public was promptly idomed.

SUMMARY

OF AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION 3.1 PRIOR ARCAs RESOLVED 3.1.1 08-02-A-5.b.l-01

Description:

The Supplemental News Release for JIC Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages was not eflectively liked to the initial EAS broadcast and was not necessarily broadcast by the EAS station.

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 background infomation prior to the first EAS broadcast. It was not identified as supplemental information to be used by the EAS station following an EAS message.

Corrective Action Demonstrated: The State Plan and JIC procedures call for emergency instructions to be transmitted immediately following the decision to activate the EAS. This vital supplemental information followed the activation of the siren.. and issuance of EAS messagcs at the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency ECLs.

Additional emergency information messages that are not preceded by sirens provide follow-up information to the public (e.g., evacuation wnes, closing of schools, protection of livestock, etc.).

During the exercise EAS supplemental information messages were provided to the broadcast stations within five minutes of the EAS message being broadcast. These messages met the established criteria regarding content: They contained Identification of the authority issuing the

- emergency message.

Description of the accident.

Included all new information.

= Clear identification of the audience.

Early in the evolution of the emergency, the state provided the public with a description of the 28

emergency zones, evacuation routes and locations of reception centers. The message containing this information was clearly identified as for information only and specifically stated no evacuations had been ordered and the information was being provided for public awareness. The differences between emergency instructions and emergency information were emphasized during each media briefing. The practices followed in the release of emergency instruction and information messages ensured that the public was promptly informed.

Atlanta, Ga. 30341

Dear Dr. Perdue:

I have read your letter dated January 22, 2003, concerning the Harris 2003 Extent of Play Agreement. Following my initial review, 1 contacted the appropriate agencies for their comments, concerns, and clarifications. Following is the Task Force response.

Part 1 General Observations:

We agree that this exercise will establish a new baseline for the new evaluation criteria. All reception and congregate care centers will be demonstrated within a six-year cycle by the counties. Wake and Lee Counties will only be demonstrating one reception and congregate care center during the 2003 exercise. Wake County has four facilities and not five as indicated in your letter. Due to time constraints., Wake County will not be able to add an additional reception and congregate center to the demonstration matrix this year. Lee County only has three (3) centers and demonstrates one (1) every exercise.

Harnett County has agreed to reschedule their SAV to 12:30 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2003, in order to accommodate federal travel plans.

Back-up Alert & Notification of the Public will be demonstrated in the field, during the out-of-sequence activities by the counties. However, they will describe their procedures for siren failure during the exercise with the federal evaluator. Wake County will be demonstrating a route during their on-scenario demonstration. A route will be selected and run from Holly Springs Command Post. EOP will be edited to reflect this change.

Discussion of decontamination SOPS will be done off-scenario with lead agencies during field demonstrations and not during the regularly scheduled exercise play at the EOC.

Relocation SOPS will be discussed during out-of-sequence interviews with school administrators. Appropriate news releases will be made durjng regularly scheduled exercise phy from the Joint Information Center (JIC) or county EOC, depending on the scenario. Only Wake 8 Chatham Counties have schools in the IO-mile EPZ.

pa^ 2 Harris 2003 Matrix:

1 .b.i. and i.el.: The State listing has been removed from the Extent of Play (Of') and on the criterion matrix.

We have left the SAU information on page 5 of the EOP to inform counties and evaluators of when and where the SAYS will be conducted. We have received your letter on the SAV and forwarded it to the counties in order for them to prepare for these visits.

2.b.1. : W e respectful!y disagree. Counties make protective action recommendations and decisions prior to the State assuming direction and control. Information in the EOf is not based on state or county status. as to who has in Direction 8 Control; rather, if is based on the ability of khat organization to accomplish the criteria.

2.c. : As stated in the EQQ,this will be discussed with the federal evaluator. A bullet showing that actual telephone calls will not be made to transportation resources will be added to the EQP.

3.c.2 : A school bus driver from each school will be available for interview, Information on school relocations from County EBCs will be in accordance with SOPS.

3.d.l : All agencies demonstrating (he criterion are listed in the EOQ for each county. One officer from each agency listed will be available for interview by the federal evaluator.

4. : We will clarify in the EQP that this is for technical assistance onty and will not be evaluated.

5.a.l. Procedures for the determination of EAS messages and the subsequent release are found in the Harris Emergency Plan and the Harris Message Book.

5.b.: We will add wording in the EOP indicating that the ARCA from Brunswick will be cgrrected during the Harris exercise.

6.c.l : We will add the comment as specified to the EQP I wiil forward a revised EOP and demonstration Matrix to you by this Friday. February 7, 2003.

Thank you and we look folvvard to your letter of acceptance andlor comment With best regards, Scott Carpenter, NCEM Exercise Coordinator Cc: Harris Task Force Members I16 West Jones Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27603-1135 (910) 733-3867

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 OROs in the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant exercise on March 4,2003.

This scenario was submitted by the State of North Carolina and Progress Energy and approved by FEMA Region IV.

Exercise

'Scenario

Progress Energy Harris Nuclear Plant EP Exercise Package I

D7:30 Start of drill related activities at the Harris Site.

m:07 Loss of Control Room Annunciators (alarm indications).

3822 Unusual Event for extended (>15 min.) loss of annunciators.

29:OO Loss of a Main Feed Water Pump, Turbine Run Back (automatic power reduction transient). extended loss of annunciators with a transient in nroaress = Alert.

99: 15 Reactor Coolant activity level increase is detected. Fuel Fission Product Barrier (FPB) is classified as "Breached." -

A Control Bank Rod will become physically bound as a result of fuel rod bowing within the associated reqion of the reactor core.

Steam Generalor tube leakage occurs.

1034 The Reactor Coolant System lo Steam Generator leak rate will exceed the requirements to classify the RCS FPB as breached. Two (2) FPBs breached (Fuei

& RCS) results in a Site Area Emergency. The activity which enters the secondary system will be processed and released from the plant's Turbine Building Vent Stack.

There will be a slight Noble Gas release which will result in detectable (pWhr) off-site doses. Notification to off-site authorities should include the fact that an "Emergency Release" is in progress (filtered). The release, other than Noble Gases, will be at or near "normal release limits."

1210 The controlled shutdown of the reactor is anticipated to be complete at approximately this time.

13:08 The plant cool dowdpressure decrease is in progress when an unanticipated opening of one of the affected Steam Generator Safety Reiief Valves &curs. This will result in classification of the Containment FPB as breached and declaration of a General Emergency.

The open safety valve results in a more significant off-site radiological release.

This release contains some Iodine and Particulate activity contribution with measured doses off-site in the mR'hr range.

Notification lo off-site authorities should include PARS for '&mile radius and 5 miles downwind (Evacuate " A & "K").

Dose assessment results will confirm the adequacy 01 the plant condition based PARS (no need to evacuate any further than 2/51).

it10 Release from the SIG safety valve is stopped by local manual action.

EP Drill Package 88:OO At the start of the Drill, typical plant values are used for Reactor Coolant System (RCS) activity and radiation monitoring system readings. Primary to secondary leakage in the steam generators and RCS leakage in the Reactor Containment Building (RCB) are negligible. Steam generator and RCB atmosphere activity, and plant radiation are as measured.

09:15 Reactor Coolant System activity increases as a result of minor fuel cladding perforation. Sadiation levels in the vicinity of CVCS Letdown piping will be elevated. Radiation readings associated with the Letdown related monitors should be checked I I I prior to entering these areas. RCS sampling related activities will experience increased radiation levels, refer to the dose rate information contained in Section 7 for this information.

1023 Primary to secondary leakage occurs. Refer to the map on page 2 for steam tunnel related dose rates.

Information in this section includes maps and data for:

1 First (minor noble gas) release begins at 10:23 and lasts throughout the drill. Release values for off-site consequence calculations are assumed to be steady during the duration of this release. The nobles gas release rate for this release is 4.81 E-03 Cikec.

2. Second release begins at 1308 and is terminated at 14:lQ.

The radiological release rate drops slightly over the duration sf the release as Steam Generator pressure (driving force for release) decreases. Maximum and minimum values for the duration of the release are:

• Noble Gas: 10.9 - 9.06 Cilsec 0 Halogen: 0.216 - 0.175 Ci/sec

. Particulate: 8.018 - 0.016 Ci/sec Meteoroloaical Conditions for both releases:

Winds initially steady from 35 at 4 MPH with a "C" '

Stability class. A wind shift will cccur to exercise changing PARS.

Radioactive decay during transit is rnsdeled for the off-site radiological data.
