Dear Mr. Reyes:

Enclosed is a copy of the final exercise report for the September 24, 2003, full participation plume exposure pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency plans site specific to the Brown Ferry Nuclear Power Plant. The Browns Ferry exercise was originally scheduled on June 4, 2003, however, severe weather in the vicinity of the plant just before the exercise date led to its postponement. This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness for the State of Alabama and Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone and Morgan Counties within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and Madison County, a host county. In addition to State and County personnel, many volunteers, and numerous elected officials also participated in this exercise. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV staff prepared the final xercise report. Copies of this report will be forwarded to the State of Alabama, FEMA and NRC Headqu rters by my staff.

FEMA identified a Deficiency during this exercise concerning the length of time between the issuance of Health Orders by the Alabama Radiation Control Agency (RCA) concerning the evacuation and sheltering-in-place of part of the EPZ and the notification of the public through siren activation and EAS message broadcast. FEMA evaluated the remedial drill conducted on October 20, 2003. The State and the counties successfully demonstrated their ability to promptly alert and notify the public after receiving the Health Orders from the RCA.

FEMA identified an Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during the Priceville Volunteer Fire Department's demonstration of monitoring and decontamination of vehicles. This demonstration was conducted on April 11, 2003. During a July 8, 2003 drill, the Priceville Volunteer Fire Department successfully demonstrated the correction of the ARCA.

Based on the results of the out-of-sequence demonstrations, the September 24, 2003 exercise, the October 20, 2003, remedial drill and FEMA's review of Alabama's Annual letters of Certification for 2002 and 2003, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Alabama and the affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented and are www.fema.gov adequate to provide a 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 State of Alabama's offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness site-specific to the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant granted on July 6, 1990, will remain in effect.

Should you have questions, please contact Robert E. Perdue at 770/220-5464.

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On September 24, 2003, a full participation exercise was conducted for the plume exposure emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant (BFNPP) 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 FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures. The Browns Ferry exercise was originally scheduled on June 4, 2003. Severe weather events in the vicinity of the plant just before the exercise led to its postponement until September 24, 2003.

The previous evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on June 6, 2001. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercises were conducted on September 10, 1981 and November 4, 1987.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals from the State of Alabama, and Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison and Morgan Counties, who participated in this exercise. Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others.

Others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. FEMA wishes to recognize the special contribution volunteers made to the success of this exercise and their commitment to protect the health and safety of the public in their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during this exercise.

This report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise as well as of out-of-sequence activities during the week of April 11-14, 2003. The out of-sequence activities included:

traffic control points (TCP), emergency worker decontamination, protective action for schools, river warning, reception and congregate care and a medical services drill.

The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and implemented them. A Deficiency was identified during this exercise regarding the length of time between the issuance of Health Orders concerning evacuation and shelter-in-place of part of the EPZ and the notification of the public through siren activation and Emergency Alert System (EAS) broadcast. A remedial drill was conducted on October 20, 2003. During the remedial drill the State and the counties demonstrated their ability to promptly alert and notify the public after receiving the Health Orders from the Radiation Control Agency (RCA). An Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was identified during the demonstration of monitoring and decontamination of vehicles by the Priceville Volunteer Fire Department. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department demonstrated the correction of the ARCA during a July 8, 2003 drill.

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 Title 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.

Title 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 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:

Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Department of Commerce (DOC)

Department of Energy (DOE)

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

Department of the Interior (DOI)

Department of Transportation (DOT)

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

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

2

Formal submission of the RERPs for the BFNPP to FEMA Region IV by the State of Alabama and involved local jurisdictions occurred on August 30, 1982. A revised plan was submitted to FEMA on February 10, 1989. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on July 6, 1990, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was conducted on September 24, 2003, by FEMA Region IV 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 BFNPP. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site 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 Chief Evaluator and the Region IV RAC Co-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 RERPs and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology,"

April 25, 2002.

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

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria 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 criteria 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 criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises 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 criteria which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises which were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - 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 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 inadequacy 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 is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number for 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-numerical-alpha designation corresponding to the criterion number in the Exercise Evaluation Methodology.

Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A =ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.

Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

STATE OF ALABAMA 1.1 State Emergency Operations Center The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is co-located with the State Emergency Management Agency (EMA) in Clanton, Alabama. The SEOC effectively responded to requests for assistance from the counties. Additionally, the SEOC issued a State Declaration of Emergency from the Governor. The Operations Branch controlled emergency reponse operations. The Health Orders issued for the evacuation and shelter-in-place protective action decision (PAD) were not promptly communicated to the counties.

MET: Criteria 1.a. 1, I.b. l, I.c. 1, L.d., L.e., 2.b. 1, 2.b.2, 5.a.3 and 5.b. I

b.

DEFICIENCY:

Issue No.: 07-03-1.c.1,5.a.1-D-01 Condition: The public was not notified of the evacuation and shelter-in-place orders until an hour after the decision was made. The RCA issued Health Orders 3 and 4 at 1120. The two Health Orders encompassed the Health Department's decision to order the evacuation of Sectors, A-2, B-2, F-2, G-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of Sectors A-10, B-10 and the City of Athens. At 1155, the counties were notified on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Hotline that the Health Orders were on the EM 2000 computer system. Following coordination, the counties activated their sirens at 1219 and broadcast the EAS messages between 1221 and 1222.

Possible Cause: The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) and the RCA did not consistently coordinate with the counties to ensure that they had received Health Orders 3 and 4. The Standard Operating Guide (SOG), August 2003, did not contain specific instructions on actions, to take at the General Emergency (GE) or what to do with the health orders issued by RCA. This lack of specificity was compounded by inexperienced personnel in the SEOC.

Reference:

Alabama RERP forNuclearPower Plants, pages A-1, A-2, A-3, A-19 and BFNPP Standard Operating Guide (SOG) pages 5, 8-9, 11, 33 and 37. The references indicate that once AEMA receives Health Orders, it has the responsibility to promptly convey this information to the affected counties with a sense of urgency and importance, and further delineates the variety of means that the State has at its disposal for communicating with the counties. Evaluation area criteria 1.c.1 and 5.a.1 (NUREG-0654, A.1.d; A.2.a, b and E.6.).

Effect: The public was not notified of the PADs in a timely manner and therefore, increased its risk of unnecessary exposure to the radioactive plume.

11

Recommendations: Review and revise procedures as necessary to ensure prompt transmission of PADs to the counties and subsequent alert and notification of the public. One possible solution would'be to conduct a conference call over the TVA hotline with AEMA, RCA and the counties to discuss the Health Orders and to determine the time for siren activation and EAS broadcast. Train appropriate staff in the procedures.

Remedial Action Demonstrated: The SOG was revised in October 2003, and included specific actions to accomplish after a GE declaration. On October 20, 2003, the State conducted a remedial drill. At 1530, the Counties were notified by tle SEOC that Health Orders 3 and 4 had been issued by RCA and that a GE had been declared at the BFNPP. Health Orders 3 and 4 called for the evacuation of zones A-2, B-2, G-2, F-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of zones A-10, B-10 and the City of Athens., Immediately, after this call, Limestone County notified all the counties and arranged for them to get back on the "Hoot and Holler" at 1544 for the coordination of siren activation and EAS message broadcast. At 1544, the Counties decided to activate the sirens at 1550 and broadcast their EAS messages at the same time. The sirens were activated and the EAS messages were broadcast at the agreed upon times.

AREAS REQUIRINd CORRECTIVE ACTION: YES Issue No.: 07-03-6.a.1-A-01 Condition: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department used inappropriate monitoring methods, exposed themselves io contaminated water and did not practice good contamination control. During the monitoring of the vehicle, the firemen continuously touched the tires and body of the vehicle, seemingly unaware that the probe cover needed to be changed. While surveying the vehicle tires, two of the firemen crawled on the ground in the contaminated water unaware that they were contaminating themselves, their protective clothing, and probably received false radiation readings.

Possible Cause: The staff who were trained to do the monitoring and decontamination were not present for the demonstration. Hence, the untrained second shift personnel had to conduct the monitoring, but did not have the depth of knowledge to use appropriate survey and contamination avoidance methods.

Reference:

Criteria 6.a.1; Morgan County EMA Browns Ferry SOP, Vehicle Decontamination, March, 2003.

Effect: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel spread contamination by using inappropriate monitoring methods. The probe cover was never changed even though the monitor continuously touched the tires and the bottom of the automobile. Contamination spread and gave the monitor a false reading. The monitor who continuously crawled around in the contaminated water on the ground contaminated himself and his protective clothing. The probe was dragged in the contaminated solution on the ground continuously. This further spread contamination.

Recommendation: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department should be provided training in monitoring, contamination control and decontamination.

Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department received additional training in the monitoring and decontamination of vehicles.

During a July 8, 2003 demonstration at the Priceville Fire Station, the firemen used appropriate monitoring, contamination control and-decontamination methods in cleaning a contaminated vehicle. The probes were covered with plastic and the 26

firemen moved the probe at the right speed and held it at the correct distance while surveying the vehicle. The firemen avoided splashing water and did not allow themselves to be exposed to contaminated solutions. They wore full protective clothing, regularly read and recorded their d9simetry, knew their exposure limits, and washed and monitored the vehicle continuously until it had the lowest possible level of contamination. The firemen had a working knowledge of KI, and knew about the spaces where clean and contaminated vehicles were separately parked. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel properly demonstrated the monitoring and decontamination of public vehicles arriving at the reception center and corrected the ARCA identified during the April II, 2003 demonstration.

Organizations involved in the medical drill included Decatur EMS and the Parkway Medical Center, both located in Decatur, Alabama. The drill was initiated when the Decatur EMS was dispatched to care for at patient who was involved in a roadside accident. The EMS crewmembers were told of possible radiation contamination in the area because the BFNPP had declared a GE and radioactive materials were released into the environment.

The EMS personnel did a quick assessment of the patient who had a contaminated laceration over his left eye. The EMS personnel placed a sheet beside the patient.

Medical supplies were appropriately placed on this sheet. The EMS staff cut off the patients' contaminated outer clothing and removed his shoes. They placed him on a backboard, wrapped him in a sheet, and rolled him to the ambulance to be transported to Parkway Medical Center. Appropriate contamination control was demonstrated before, and during transport and transfer of the patient from the EMS crew to the Parkway Medical Center staff.

The Parkway Medical Center staff was well prepared for the arrival of the patient. A protective covering had been placed on the walkway and extended up to the entrance of the Emergency Room (ER). The hallway and the ER floors were covered with a protective plastic. The medical facility monitor surveyed the patient on his arrival. The patient was appropriately transferred to the Parkway Medical Center staff after being placed on a clean gurney. Inside of the ER, the staff followed appropriate monitoring, contamination control and decontamination methods. Drapes were placed around the eye laceration and the nurse controlled the splashing of water while using a syringe to remove contamination. Swabs were used to clean and dry the area. The drapes were removed 27

and residual water was dried before the laceration was surveyed. This process was repeated until the contamination level had gone from 1400 counts per minute (cpm) down to 100 cpm. Eye, nasal and ear swabs were taken to determine if the patient had internal contamination. Clean paper was placed on the ER floor for the gurney to roll on as the patient was carried out of the ER. The ER staff followed appropriate ER exit procedures as they left the ER and the Decatur EMS staff and their ambulance were appropriately surveyed and released.

The ER staff wore protective clothing. They also carried appropriate direct and permanent record dosimetry. The Parkway Medical Center,taffworked well as a team and successfully demonstrated all criteria.

Evacuees come from Limestone and Morgan Counties to this reception center. Evacuees were interviewed by DHR personnel to ensure that they had been processed through the monitoring center. Evacuees were appropriately surveyed with portable survey instruments by the Madison County Department of Public Health. Contaminated individuals were sent to shower and were re-monitored until contamination was at its lowest level.

Congregate care was successfully demonstrated at the First Baptist Church Christian Life Center by the ARC. The shelter manager conducted a walk-through of the facility.

SUMMARY

OF DEFICIENCIES AND AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION 4.1 2003 DEFICIENCY 4.1.1 07-03-1.c.1, 5.a.1-D-01 Condition: The Public was not notified of State of Alabama the evacuation and shelter-in-place orders SEOC-until an hour after the decision was made.

The RCA issued Health Orders 3 and 4 at 1120. The two Health Orders encompassed the Health Department's decision to order the evacuation of Sectors, A-2, B-2, F-2, G-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of Sectors A-10, B-10 and the City of Athens.

At 1155, the counties were notified on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Hotline that the Health Orders were on the EM 2000 computer system. Following coordination, the counties activated their sirens at 1219 and broadcast the EAS messages between 1221 and 1222.

Possible Cause: The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) and the RCA did not consistently coordinate with the counties to ensure that they had received Health Orders 3 and 4. The Standard Operating Guide (SOG), August 2003, did not contain specific instructions on actions, to take at the General Emergency (GE) or what to do with the Health Orders issued by RCA. This lack of specificity was compounded by inexperienced personnel in the SEOC.

Reference:

Alabama RERP for Nuclear Power Plants, pages A-1, A-2, A-3, A-19 and BFNPP Standard Operating Guide (SOG) pages 5, 8-9, 11, 33 and 37. The references indicate that once AEMA receives Health Orders, it has the responsibility to promptly convey this information to the affected counties with a sense of urgency and importance, and further 31

delineates the variety of means that the State has at its disposal for communicating with the counties. Evaluation area criteria I.c. l and 5.a.1 (NUREG-0654, A..d; A.2.a, b and E.6.).

Effect: The public was not notified of the PADs in a timely manner and therefore, increased their risk of unnecessary exposure to the radioactive plume.

Recommendations: Review and revise procedures as necessary to ensure prompt transmission of PADs to the counties and subsequent alert and notification of the public. One possible solution would be to conduct a conference call over the TVA hotline with AEMA, RCA and the counties to discuss the Health Orders and to determine the time for siren activation and EAS broadcast. Train appropriate staff in the procedures.

Remedial Action Demonstrated: The SOG was revised in October 2003, and included specific actions to accomplish after a GE declaration. On October 20, 2003, the State conducted a remedial drill. At 1530, the Counties were notified by the SEOC that Health Orders 3 and 4 had been issued by RCA and that a GE had been declared at the BFNPP. Health Orders 3 and 4 called for the evacuation of zones A-2, B-2, G-2, F-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of zones A-10, B-I0 and the City of Athens.

Immediately, after this call, Limestone County notified all the counties and arranged for them to get back on the "Hoot and Holler" at 1544 for the coordination of EAS and the Public Notification System (PNS).

At 1544, the Counties decided to activate the sirens at 1550 and broadcast their EAS messages at the same time. The sirens were activated and the EAS messages were broadcast at the agreed upon times. The 32

SEOC was notified of the Counties' decision at 1545. The remedial drill terminated at 1559. The State and Counties successfully demonstrated their ability to promptly notify the public of PADs.

4.2 2003 ARCA 4.2.1 07-03-6.a.1-A-01 Condition: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Morgan County Department used inappropriate monitoring Reception and methods, exposed themselves to Congregate Care contaminated water and did not practice good contamination control. During the monitoring of the vehicle, the firemen continuously touched the tires and body of the vehicle, seemingly unaware that the probe cover needed to be changed. While surveying the vehicle tires, two of the firemen crawled on the ground in the contaminated water unaware that they were contaminating themselves, their protective clothing, and probably received false radiation readings.

Possible Cause: The staff who were trained to do the monitoring and decontamination were not present for the demonstration.

Hence, the untrained second shift personnel had to conduct the monitoring, but did not have the depth of knowledge to use appropriate survey and contamination avoidance methods.

Reference:

Criteria 6.a. 1; Morgan County EMA Browns Ferry SOP, Vehicle Decontamination, March, 2003.

Effect: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel spread contamination by using inappropriate monitoring methods.

The probe cover was never changed even though the monitor continuously touched the tires and the bottom of the automobile.

Contamination spread and gave the monitor a false reading. The monitor who 33

continuously crawled around in the contaminated water on the ground contaminated himself and his protective clothing. The probe was dragged in the contaminated solution on the ground continuously. This further spread contamination.

Recommendation: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department should be provided training in monitoring, contamination control and decontamination.

Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department received additional training in the monitoring and decontamination of vehicles.

During a July 8, 2003 demonstration at the Priceville Fire Station, the firemen used appropriate monitoring, contamination control and decontamination methods in cleaning a contaminated vehicle. The probes were covered with plastic and the firemen moved the probe at the right speed and held it at the correct distance while surveying the vehicle. The firemen avoided splashing water and did not allow themselves to be exposed to contaminated solutions. They wore full protective clothing, regularly read and recorded their dosimetry, knew their exposure limits, and washed and monitored the vehicle continuously until it had the lowest possible level of contamination. The firemen had a working knowledge of KI, and knew about the spaces where clean and contaminated vehicles were separately parked. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel properly demonstrated the monitoring and decontamination of public vehicles arriving at the reception center and corrected the ARCA identified during the April 11, 2003 demonstration.

STATE OF ALABAMA DEPARTMIENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH Donald E. Williamson, MID State Health Officer April 15, 2003 Dr. Robert Perdue Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV 3003 Chamblee-Tucker Road Atlanta, GA 30341

Dear Dr. Perdue:

Enclosed you will find the Radiation Control revisions for the Extent-of-Play for the 2003 Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant Exercise that you had requested. We have included the text that you had recommended. In addition, we have given our responses in bold italicized type so that it will make for easier viewing.

If you have any question or concerns about this report, I trust you will contact me and let me know of any changes that you feel are needed.

Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant June 4, 2003 FEMA Extent-of-Play recommendations Mobilization (Sub-Element 1.a.1)

Please be specific as to what State positions will be pre-positioned for the exercise.

We anticipate that other workers will actually be alerted and mobilized to report to the EOCs. This is applicable for AEMA, the 10-mile EPZ counties and Madison County.

The Office of Radiation Control will simulate alerting, notifying and mobilizing emergency personnel (Radiation Control personnel). Personnel will b~e pre-positioned at the Montgomery Emergency Room in the RSA Tower, the Decatur SRMAC room in the Morgan County EMA Office (Basement of Morgan County Courthouse), and the Joint Infornation Center (JIC) at Calhoun Community College. Radiation Control will demonstrate the ability to receive notification from the licensee and verffy the notification. The facilities will demonstrate activation in a timely manner, scenario dependent.

Emergency Worker Exposure Control (Sub-Element 2.a.1)

A decision-making process must be in place so that if or when an emergency worker reaches his or her exposure limit, it can be determined whether or not to authorize exposure and for the situations that will allow for additional exposure in excess of the administrative limits. If this not done by County management, who do they need to contact for information? Please clarify in revised EOP or provide this information during the Federal evaluators meeting.

Authorization to exceed emergency worker exposure guidelines defined in Alabama Radiation Emergency Response Plan for Nuclear Power Plants must be obtained from the State Health Officer prior to any exposure limit being exceeded.

Implementation of KI Decision (Sub-Element 3.b)

Under the EOP, it is indicated that ORC will not demonstrate KI decision-making.

However, two field monitoring teams will be evaluated and either through demonstration or discussion their knowledge of the use of KI will be ascertained.

Please clarify this in the EOP. Also on this same page 13, under Limestone County, the SAV cannot be used to demonstrate the Kl decision-making process. This should be done during the exercise.

K! (Potassium Iodide) is apart of the fiend monitoring teams equipment. KI is kept in the field monitoring kits at all times. The field monitoring teams are fully knowledgeable of the purpose of KI. And if the time arises for the need to take K!, field monitoring teams will fill out the content form which is in their field monitoring instruction manual and turn back into SRMAC/Health Department when they return from the field. Field monitoring teams will not demonstrate taking the K!, they will simulate only if the scenario calls for the need to take KI.

Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses (Sub-Element 4.a)

Please provide us with the time that field teams will be assembled.

Radiation Control will demonstrate plume phase field measurements and analyses, scenario dependent. Two field teams will be evaluated. Field teams will simulate using booties and gloves for contamination controL Field teams will be pre-positioned at the Morgan County Health Department Parking Lot (510 Cherry Street. M.E., Decatur, AL 35602). Time of field team assembly will be provided at the evaluators in-briefing meeting on Tuesday, June 3rd.

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 initle BFNPP exercise on September' 24, 2003.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Alabama, Alabama RCA and TVA and approved by FEMA Region IV.

BFN 200)3 NRCIFENIA GRADED EXERCISE NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

CONFIDENTIAL Rev. Dalc: 311 1I13 INITIAL CONDITIONS:

Unit I as is.

Unit 2 is at 100% power.

Diesel Generator "B"' is running for its annual Si (?).

Unit 3 as is.

EVENTS: Note: Times are in sccnario elapscd time (hr:iin). While thc Sccnario has certain EALs listed which the SED is cxpected to make declaration of the emcrgcncv classifications (ALERT, SAE), it is possible that the SED may declare an emergency based on judgment or sonic other sct of EALs which the Sccnario did not cxpect. If any of thcse situations arise thc Controllers must be ready to cvaluatc the accuracy and timclincss of any unexpected emergency declarations.

At five miinutes (T=00 1)5) inmo the exercise a firc begins onthc "B' Diescl Gcnerator in the U-2 Diesel Generator Building.

At about twenty minutes (T=00:20) into the exercise an ALERT should be declared based on EAL 6.4-A (Fire in any arca in Table 6.4-A [Diesel Generator Buildingi affecting safety system performance LWB" Diesel Generator I).

At one hour (T=0 1:00) into the cxercise control Rod 02-27 drifts in. A leak of RCS begins to fill the East Scram discharge header and volume. The drain line for the East Scram discharge volume has bccome blocked and consequently does not drain vern well. The control room is unaware of the rising discharge volumc due to a failure or the Icvel instruments for the East Scram discharge volume.

At one hour thirty minutes (T=01:30) into the exercise the B steam line develops a leak in the Reactor building stcam tunnel.

The Reactor building ventilation monitors alarm. The MISIVs close due to high steam lunncl temperature. The reactor Sets a Scram signal but an ATWS occurs on the cast scram header. HPCI fails to start due to a 120 \\'olt AC power failure.

At one hour forty minutes (T=01 :40) into the exercise. sonic fuel clad fails due to stresses during the ATWVS. Enough fuel clad fails to result in RCS DEI 131 > 300 pC/gm. The accident monitors in the U-2 Drywell alarm. EAL 2.3-A(Drnwecll radiation levels at or above the values listed in Table 2.3-A12.3-S2. with the RCS barrier intact) conditions are met. Operations may begin SLC injection.

At one hour forty five minutes (T=O 1:45) into the exercise A SAE should be declared based on EAL 1.2-S (Failure of automatic scram. manual scram. and ARI to bring the Reactor subcritical).

Al three hours (T=03:00) into the exercise the RCIC steam line has a 25%n1 break in the 519' NW Quad upstream of 2-FCV-7 1-8 and can not be isolated. This priarr sysiem is discharging into the Reactor Building. As the radioactivitx begins to increase in the reactor building an area radiation monilor near the leak point increases above it's maximum safe limit.

Al three hours fifteen minutes (T=03: 15) into the exercise a GE should be declared based on EAL 3.2-G (An unisolablc Prirnan' System is discharging into Secondary Containment AND Any area radiation lcvel at or above the Miximum Sarc Operating area Radiation Limit in Table 3.2 1 1000 niMirl AND Any indication or potential or sigmnificant fuel failure cx1sts 12-RE-90-272A = 345 RMhr: 2-RE-91)-273A = 164 MirJ ).

The exercise terminates at about six hours (T=06:00) into the exercise.
