SUMMARY
On September 27,2003, a Host Community Reception Center Drill was conducted at Windham, Connecticut. The purpose of this drill was to assess the capability of the Windham, Connecticut Emergency Management Personnel to respond to a radiological incident involving the Millstone Power Station. This drill was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (JXERP) and procedures.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this drill.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the drill 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 drill.
This report contains the final evaluation of the Host Community Reception Center Drill and Congregate Care Facilities.
The Host Community emergency management personnel, fire department personnel and volunteers demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no deficiencies and two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of this drill.

II. INTRODUCTION -
On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site 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 Tribal, 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 j oint exercises with licensees.
FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:
Taking the lead in off-site 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 I Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by F E W .
Formal submission of the RERPs for the Millstone Power Station (PS) to FEMA Region I by the State of Connectkut and involved local jurisdictions occurred on September 4,1981.
Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on October 9,1984, under 44 CFR 350.

III. DRILL EVALUATION AND RESULTS Participating Agencies:
First Selectman Willimantic Health District Department of Public Works Windham Police Department Windham Fire Department Windham Volunteer Fire Department Windham School Department RACES Amateur Radio American Red Cross Contained in this section are the results and findings of the evaluation of the Windham, CT Host Community Reception Center Drill conducted on September 27,2003. The purpose of this evaluated drill was to test the readiness capabilities of the Windham Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Windham Host Reception Center to be able to respond to an incident involving Millstone Power Station (PS).
Each functional entity was evaluated on the basis of its demonstration of criteria delineated in the exercise criterion contained in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology, published in the Federal Register on September 12,2001, and amended April 25, 2002.
The following is the status of functional entities evaluated.
A. Windham EOC The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the Windham Public Safety Complex is not a dedicated facility. Despite that fact the EOC was set up in a short period of time. The Emergency Management Director (EMD) immediately took control of the EOC. When staff was present he briefed the staflFof the situation at Millstone Power Station and stated that they were to begin preparations to open and establish the Reception Center at the Windham High School. The EMD tasked the staff to review their plan and procedures for the activation of the Reception Center.
The EMD periodically briefed the staff as the event progressed; in turn he required the staff to back brief him at to the particular current status when asked. The EMD and staff clearly demonstrated their use of the plan and procedures and displayed a positive can do attitude throughout the drill.

(e) PRIOR ARCAs RESOLVED: NONE (f) PRIOR ARCAs UNRESOLVED: NONE B. Host Community - Reception Center The staff of the Windham Reception Center was made up of full time firefighters, volunteer firefighters and civilian volunteers. This reception team demonstrated their cohesiveness immediately after the Incident Commander gave the safety briefing and task assignments. They immediately departed to retrieve their necessary supplies and equipment. In a timely manner the reception center was set up and operational. All reception center personnel referred to their plan and procedures, asked questions of their supervisors if they were unsure of the next step. They communicated with one another as well as worked together as a team.

@) DEFICIENCES: NONE (c) AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS (ARCAs): 6.a.l ISSUE No.: 3843-6.a.l-11
Description:
A greeter in the vehicle monitoring area was observed placing a hand on two of the first three vehicles coming into the vehicle monitoring area. Although he realized what he had done he took no action to determine if he was contaminated or not.
A vehicle monitoring team member logging contaminated vehicles placed a clipboard on the hood of a contaminated vehicle in the contaminated vehicle parking lot.
RECOMMENDATION: Additional training to insure that procedures are followed and an awareness established of potential cross contamination causes while working with potentially contaminated vehicles and equipment.
Schedule of Corrective Action: Demonstrate at a fbture drill.
ISSUE No.: 3WM.a.1-12
Description:
Due to the need for personnel to direct vehicles along an elongated route into the vehicle monitoring area, personnel from the clean vehicle parking area, were reassigned. This left only one person in the "Clean Parking Lot" to register vehicles. A line began to form and was beginning to affect the ability of additional vehicles to exit the portal monitor. There was no actual obstruction during the drill but sufficient personnel need to be assigned to the "Clean Parking Lot" so that vehicle information can be recorded at the parking space. This will free up the area leading into the lot and not cause a backup during a true event.

Recommendation: Review the reception center plan, vehicle traffic and monitoring sections to ensure that sufficient personnel are allocated to those operations.
Schedule of Corrective Actions: Demonstrate at a future drill.

zone (EPZ), Federal emergency response organizations, the licensee and its facilities, emergency operations centers (EOC), and field teams.
1 EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL OROs will demonstrate that a primary, and at least one backup system, are fully functional at the beginning of an exercise. If a communications system or systems are not functional, but exercise -
performance is not affected, no exercise issue will be assessed. Communications equipment and procedures for facilities and field Units should be used as needed for the transmission and receipt of exercise messages. All facilities and field teams should have the capability to access at least one communication system that is independent of the commercial telephone system. Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to manage the communication systems and ensure that all message traffic is handled without delays that might disrupt the conduct of emergency operations. OROs should ensure that a coordinated communication link for fixed and mobile medical support facilities exist.
The specific communications capabilities of OROs should be commensurate with that specified in the response plan andor procedures. Exercise scenarios could require the failure of a communications system and the use of an alternate system.

1 Sub-element 1.e.1. Equipment And Supplies To Support Operations.(Continued)
Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by emergency workers, as indicated on rosters; institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and, where stipulated by the plan and/or procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ.
Quantities of dosimetry and KI available and storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the Annual Letter of Certification submission, and/or verified during a Staff Assistance Visit. Available supplies of KI should be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the OR0 may produce a letter from FEMA indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance. FEMA issues these letters based upon the frndings of the certified independent laboratory that performed the analysis at the OROs request and expense.
At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g.,
vehicles, barriers, traffic cones and signs, etc.) should be available or their availability described.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Sub-element 3.a. 1 . Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control.
Criterion 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures. I Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. (NUREG-0654, K.3.)
Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimeters and permanent record dosimeters; provide for direct-reading dosimeters to be read at appropriate frequencies by emergency workers; maintain a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; and provide for establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate.
1 EXTEN OF PLAY - GENERAL OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimetry chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the OROs plans and procedures.
Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the OROs plan andor procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.
During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. OROs should demonstrate the actions described in the plan andor procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (e.g. written procedures andor co-workers) in providing responses.
17
Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, e.g., at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimeter.
Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as fanners for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage, should be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
IEXTENT OF PLAY - SPECIFIC
- 1. The host community has been provided with 50 emergency worker dosimetry packets. These packets include: a Permanent Record dosimeter (PRD), and two self-reading dosimeters (SRD) in the OR (Roentgen) to 5R and the OR to 200R ranges.
- 2. Dosimetry packets will be issued to all Reception Center radiological emergency workers.
Evaluators will observe dosimetry turn-inand necessary paperwork.
- 3. Radiological emergency worker exposure control training, including a basic knowledge of exposure control procedures (turn-back values, call-in values and periodic monitoring), will be demonstrated through evaluator interviews.
- 4. Host Community emergency workers do not need to use or wear the OR to 200R self-reading dosimeters.
5 . Dosimetry will only be issued to radiological emergency workers at the Reception Center and not to other emergency workers such as Registration, Red Cross and etc. that are not exposed to potential contamination.
- 6. Immediate Correction will be allowed for issues relating to the issuing of dosimetry, briefing and, subsequently, the demonstration by emergency worker knowledge of radiation control.

Evaluation Area 3 - Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.b - Implementation of KI Decision -
Criterion 3.b.l: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of KI -
for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals is maintained. (NUREG-0654, E.
7., J. 10. e., f.)
INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide radio-protective drugs for emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, if in the plan andor procedures, to the general public for whom immediate evacuation may not be feasible, very difficult, or significantly delayed. While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to emergency workers and institutionalized individuals, the provision of KI to the general public is an OR0 option, reflected in OROs plans and procedures. Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and meam of the distribution of radioprotective drugs.
I EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL OROs should demonstrate the capability to make KI available to emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the OR0 plan andor procedures, to members of the general public. OROs should demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made. Organizations should have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers and institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. The ingestion of KI recommended by the designated OR0 health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI is not necessary. OROs should demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate appropriate instructions on the use of KI for those advised to take it. If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information should be provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the OROs plan andor procedures.
Emergency workers should demonstrate the basic knowledge of procedures for the use of KI whether or not the scenario drives the use of KI. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Intent This sub-element is derived fiom NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers, while minimizing contamination of the facility, and registration of evacuees at reception centers.
I EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL Radiological monitoring, decontamination, and registration facilities for evacuees/ emergency workers should be set up and demonstrated as they would be in an actual emergency or as indicated in the extent of play agreement. This would include adequate space for evacuees vehicles.
Expected demonstration should include 1/3 of the monitoring teams/portal monitors required to monitor 20% of the population allocated to the facility within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Prior to using a monitoring instnunent(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation.
S M responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees should demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone (EPZ) population planning base within about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored per hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure. A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures specified in the plan andor procedures, to allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be meet. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.
Decontamination of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview.
The availability of provisions for separately showering should be demonstrated or explained.
The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination. Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (e.g. partitions, roped-off areas) to separate clean from (Continued) 23
Sub-element 6.a. 1. Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers and Registration of Evacuees.(Continued) potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide changes of clothing for individuals whose clothing is contaminated, and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further contamination of evacuees or facilities. In addition, for any individual found to be contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling of potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.
Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action levels for determining the need for decontamination. They should also explain the procedures for referring evacuees who cannot be adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow up in accordance with the OROs plans and procedures. Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.
The capability to register individuals upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities should be demonstrated. The registration activities demonstrated should include the establishment of a registration record for each individual, consisting of the individuals name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontamination, if any, or as otherwise designated in the plan. Audio recorders, camcorders, or written records are all acceptable means for registration.

Criterion 6.b.l: The facility/ORO has adequate procedures and resources for the accomplishment of monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment including vehicles. (NUREG-0654, K.5.b)
Intent This sub-element is derived fiom NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment, including vehicles.
IEXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL, The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to monitor equipment, including vehicles, for contamination in accordance with the OROs plans and procedures. Specific attention should be given to equipment, including vehicles, that was in contact with individuals found to be contaminated. The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of equipment including vehicles based on guidance levels and procedures stated in the plan and/or procedures.
The area to be used for monitoring and decontamination should be set up as it would be in an actual emergency, with all route markings instrumentation, record keeping and contamination control measures in place. Monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of one vehicle. It is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface of vehicles. However, the capability to monitor areas such as air intake systems, radiator grills, bumpers, wheel wells, tires, and door handles should be demonstrated. Interior surfaces of vehicles that were in contact with individuals found to be contaminated should also be checked.
Decontamination capabilities, and provisions for vehicles and equipment that cannot be decontaminated, may be simulated and conducted by interview.

Evaluation Area 6 - Support Operations/Facilities Sub-element 6.c. 1 . Temporary Care of evacuees. -
Criterion 6.c.l: Managers of congregate care facilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross I
planning guidelines (found in MASS CARE-Preparedness Operations, ARC 3031).
Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for -
contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654, J.lO.h., 12.)
Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs demonstrate the capabiIity to establish relocation centers in host areas. Congregate care is normally provided in support of OROs by the American Red Cross under existing letters of agreement.
I EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL, Under this criterion, demonstration of congregate care centers may be conducted out of sequence with the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 303 1 In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations, as they would be in an actual emergency. Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this criteria, exercise demonstration expectations should be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.
Congregate care staff should also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate, and have been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.
If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (e.g., cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility(ies). However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.
All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
