E:XECIJTIVE SUMlClARY On February 18, 2004. the Depxtnient of Ilomcland Security-Fcdcrcil Emergcnsy Manageinent Agency (FEMA) Reg.ion IV conducted a fill1 participation pliinie exposure pathway exercise in the emcrgency-planniiig zone (EII) around the St, Lucie Nuclear Iowcr Plant. The purpose ofthe exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was conducted in accordance with Ft:MAs policies and g~iidaiice for offsite preparedness exercises in order to reach a determination of reasonable assurance that tlie State and County governnients are able to protect the health and safety of the public. The previous federally evaluated exercise at this site \\vas conducted on Fehruary 20. 7002. lhc qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 10-1 2. 1982.
The State of Florida. Risk Counties of Maitin and St. Lucie. and Support Counties 01 Hrevard, Indian River. and Pa1111 Reach participated in this exercise. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEW) in Tallahassee played in this exercise until direction and control uas lranded off to the Forward State Emergency Response Teain (FSEKT). FEMA Region I\\ wishes to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of the many individuals who planned. prepared for and participated in this exercise. The enthusiasm.
cooperation and teamwork displayed by all participants highlighted the obvious training and preparation invested in this successful dcmonstrrttion. Protecting the puhlic health and safety is the full-time Job of some exercise participants and an assigned responsibility for others. Others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.
Although this was a plume exposure pathmay exercise. all three Support Counties participated as well in order to demonstrate the distribution of potassium iodide (Kl) to tlrc piiblic for the first time in the State of Florida.
This report contains the evaluation of the exercise. as well a5 oiit-of-sequence activities demonstrated during the week of Sanuai-j 19-7.;. 2004. uhich includcd: Distributinn of K1 to the public. traffic control points (TCP). emergency worker decontamiiiation (EWD).
protective actions for schools. reception centers. registration cinci congregate care.
The State and local organizations demonstrated tlie knowledge and ability to implenirnt their emergency response plans and procedures. No Deficiencies were noted during. the exercise, however, two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) were identified during out of sequence activities in Palm Eieach C.ounty. One ARCA was due to cross-contamination during the initial monitoring phase and was immediately coirected by on the spot training and re-demonstration; the other was a result of equipment calibration and has been corrected by documentation provided by the manufacturer. through Palin Beach County, specifying calibration requirements, 1

INTRODIJCTlON On December 7. 1970. the I'resident directed FEMA to asstinie the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities are conducted ptirstiaiit to Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (,CFR) Parts 350, -35 1 and 352. 'These regulations arc a key element in the Radiologicai Emergency I'reparedness (REP) I'rogram that vas estahlishcd following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
Title 44. CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for E'EbZA'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 governinent participation in joint exercises with licensees.
I.'E?r'lA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities (Fh'i:) include the following:
Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures developed by State and local governments:

Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry should allow individuaI(s) to read the adininistralive reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the OKOs plans and procedures.
4
Dosimetry should be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replac,edl if nec.essary. U)WI38s. due to their documented history of electrical leakage problems, should be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly and replacxd if necessary.
This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, tlirougli docurnentation submitted in tlie Annual Letter of Certification, aiidior through a staff assistance visit.
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 aiid!or procedures. menihers 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 h n u d Letter of Certification submission, and/or verified duriiig a Staff Assistance Visit. Available supplies of KI should be within tlie expiration dale indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the OK0 may produce a letter from a certified private or State iaboratory indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with U.S. Pliamiacopoeia standards.
At locations wliere tralfic arid access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g.. vehicles, barriers, traffic cones and signs, etc.) should be available or their availability described.

2.b-Radiological Assessnaenit and Protective Action Reconamendatiores and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency:
Criterion 2.b.l: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on auailable information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and (3110 dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite enviroiimental conditions. (NllJREG-O454,1.8, 10 and Supplement 3)
Extent of Play During the initial stage ofthe emerzency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the O R 0 should demonstrate the capability to L I S ~
appropriate means. described iii the plan and:or proccdurcs, to devclop protec.tivc action recommeiidations (PAR) for decision-makers based on available information and recommenJaticns~iis from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.
When release and meteorological data are provided by the licensee, the OK0 also considers thcsc data. The OR0 should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available arid the need for assessments to support the PARS appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should he demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units of the PA(; to which they \\vi11 be compared. P.4P.s should be promptly transmitted to decisioii-makcrs in a prearranged format.
Differences greater than a factor of 10 between prijcctcd doscs by the licensee and the O R 0 should be discussed with the licensee with respect to the input data and assumptions used, the use of different models, or other possible reasons. Resolution of these differences should he incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The O R 0 should demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates arid revise the associated PARS.
All activities must be based on thr: ORO's plans and procedures and conipleted as they ivould be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent-of-play a~reement.

Extent of Plav Offsite Response Organi7ations (OKOsj should have the capability to make both initial and subsequent PADS. They should demolistrate the capability to make initial PADS in a tiinely manner appropriate to the situation, based on notification fiom the licensee, assessment of plant status and releases, and PARS froiii the utility and OR0 staff.
The dose asscssincnt personnel may pi-ovide additional PARS based on [lie subsequcnt dose projcclions, field nionitoring data, or infomiation on plant conditions. The decision makers should denionstrate the capability to change protective actions as appropriate based on these projections.
If the OK0 has detemiined that K1 will be used as a protective nieasure for the general public under offsite plans, then the O K 0 sliould demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administratioii of KI as a protective measure lor the general public to supplement sheltering and evacuation. This decision should be based on the OROs plan n d h r procedures or projected thyroid dose coiiiparcd with thc established PA(; for KI administration. The KI decision making process should invol\\,e close coordination wid1 appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.
If more than one OR0 is involved in decision-making, OROs should communicate and coordinate PADS with affected OROs. OKOs should demonstrate the capability to cominunicate the contents of decisions to the affected jurisdictions.

P~iliil Becicli: Ni.4 2.e -Protective Action Decisions for Protection of Spcciil Populations:
Criterion 2.c.l: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups. (NI!KEG-064, J.9, J.10.d, e)
Extent of Plav IJsuallp, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to cxcccd the lower end of the range ofPAGs, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where higli-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or intiiin) are involved. In these cases, exainplcs of' factors that should be considered are: Rcathcr conditions, sheltci-availability, availahility of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations whcrc an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, thc administration of KI should be considered by the OROs.
Applicable OKOs should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systcnis/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contacts with public school systeniddistricts must be actual.
I n accordance with plans and/or procedures. OROs and/or officials of public school systenis/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for studenrs. Officials should demoiistrate that the decision making process for protcctive actions considers (that is, either accepts automatically or yives hcavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by OR0 personnel, the ECI,
at which thesc recommendations are received, prcplannrd stratesies for protective actions for that E(:[,, and the location of students at the time (for example, whether tlie students are still at home, en route to the school, or at the school).
All decision-making activitics associated with protective actions, including considel-ation of available resources, for special poputatioii groups must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and c.ompletcd as they would be in an actual einergency, uirless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent-of-play agceiiient.

BrevNrrl: NL4 IIFAf: VL4 2.d. -Radiological Assessment aaad Decisioa-Rfakiaig for Lfre Ingestion Expc~sure Pathway Criterion 2.d.l: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective :iction decisions are made based on the (PRO plaiinirng criteria.
(NUREG-0654, I.%, J.I I)
Extent of Play It is expected that the OK0 will take precautionary actions to protect food and watcr supplies, or to niininiize exposure to potentially contaminated water and foodl in accordance with their respective plans and procedures. Often such precautionary actions are initiated by tlie OROs based on criteria related to the facilitys emergency classification levels (XI<). Such actions nray include reconmiendations to place milk animals on stored feed and to use protected wJter supplies.
The OR0 should use its procedures (for example. development of a sampling pian) to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water supplies. The OR0 assessment should include the evaluation of the radiological analyses of representatke samples of water, food, and other ingestible substances of local interest from potentially impacted areas, the characterization of the releases from the facility, and the extent of areas potentially impacted by the release. During this assessment, OKOs should consider the use of a-gicultural and watershed data within tlie SO-
mile EPZ. The radiological inipacts on the food and water sllould then be cornpawl to the appropriate ingestion P.4Gs contained in the OROs plan and!or procedures. (The plan a d o r procedures may contain PAGs based on specific dose conimitnient criteiia or based on cfiteria as recommended by current Food and Drug Administration guidance.) Timely and appropriate recoinmendations should he pi-ovided to the O R 0 decision-malters group for impleiiientation decisions. As time peiiiiits, the O R 0 may also include a comparison of taking or not taking a given action on the resultaiit ingestion pathway dose commitinents.
Tlie OR0 should demonstrate timely decisions to mininiize radiological impacts from Ihe ingestion pathway, based on the given assessments and other infomiation available. Any such decisions should be comniunicated and to the extent practical, coordinated with neiglrhorin_g and local OROs.
OROs should m e Federal resources, as identified in tlie I k k r a l Radiological Emergency Kcspoiise Plan (FRERP), and otlter resources (e.g., compacts, nuclear insurers. etc), if available. Ewlcation of this criterion will rake into consideration the level of liedera1 and other resources paiticipating.
All activities must be based on tlre OROs plans and procedures and c.omplcted as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent o f play agreement.

(NUREG-0654, A.l.h., 1.10; M I )
Extent of Plav Relocation: OROs should demonstrate tlie capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and to compare these estimates with PAGs. apply decision criteria for rerocation o f those 11
individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated but where projected doses are in excess of relocation I'AGs and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. Decisions are made for relocating members of the evacuated public \\vho lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs. Lktemiination of arms to he restricted should be based on factors such as the mix of rJdionticlides in deposited matei-ials, calculated exposui-e rates vs. the PAGs and field samples of vegetation and soil analyses.
Re-entry: Decisions should be made regarding the location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and inembcrs of the general public. who need to temporarily enter tlie evacuated area to perfomi spec.ific tasks or missions.
Examples of control procedures are: the assignment 01; or checking for direct-reading and noli-direct-reading dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding tlie individual's ohjmtives and locations expected to be visited and associated time frames; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; advice on areas to avoid; and procedures for exit including: monitoring of individuals, vehicles, arid cquipinent; decision criteria regarding dccontarnination and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.
Kespoiisible OROs should deliionstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized re-entry of individuals into the resti-ictcd zone, based on established decision criteria. OROs should dcrnonstrstc thc capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.&? police patrols), for maintenance of essential serviccs (e.g., fire protection and utilities). and for other critical functions. They should demonstrate the capability to use decision making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons. such as to maintain property (e.g., to care for fami aninials or secure machinery for storage), or to retrieve important possessions.
Coordinated policies for access and exposure control should be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone. OROs should demonstrate the capability to estahlish policies for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowd re-entry to the restricted zone. The extent that OKCis need to develop policies on re-entry will be determined by scenario events.
Return: Lkcisions are to be based on environmental data and political bouiidxics or physical'geological features, which allow identification of the bountlaries of areas to nrhich members ofthe general public may return. Return is pennitted to the boundary of the restricted area that is based on the relocation PAC; Otlicr factors that the OR0 should consider are, for example: conditions that pemiit the cancellation of the Emergency Classification Level and the relaxation of associated restrictive measures; basing return reconimendations (is,, permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis) 011 ineasurenicnts of radiation from ground deposition; and the apability to identify services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration.
Examples of these services and facilities are: medical and social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate tenn housing for relocated persons.

- 3. PROTECTIVE ACTION INIPLEMENTAIION 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control:
Criterion 3.a.I : The OMOs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and ut the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record OK chart. (NUKEC-0653, 1(.3.a, b)
Extent of Play OROs shoiild dcmonstrate rhe capahiliiy 10 prwide appropriate direct-rcadinz and pernianent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, arid instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. Pot evaluation purposes, appropriate directmading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allow individual(s) to read the administrative reporting liniils (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent cakulation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and inaxirnuin 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 OKOs plan andior procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.
During a plume phase exercise, eniergeney workers should denionstrate the procedures io be followed dien administrative exposure limits and tumhack values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. OROs should denionstrate the actions described in the plan 13
a d o r procedures by detemrining whether to replacc tbe worker. to authorize the workcr to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergcnc,y workers to seck authorizations for additianal exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in thc event authorization is nccded and at what cxposure levels. Emergelicy \\rorkcrs may use any available rcsotirces (e.g., written procedures and/or coworkers) in providing responses.
Although it is desirable for all emergency Lvorkers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, tliere may be situations where team nieinbcrs will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effect4 for all members oftlie team by one dosimeter woni by the team Icader. Emergency workcrs who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, cg., at reception ccnters, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may ha\\^
individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should he noted Illat, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own peniianent record dosimetry.
lndividuals 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 radioloS.ica1 exposure coinmrnsurate with completing their missions.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and cornpleted as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent-of-play agreement.

The medical facility should delimistrate tlie capability to make decisions on the need for dt.contamination of the individual, to follow appropriate deco~ltan~inalion procedures, and io maintain records of all survey iiieasureiiients and samples taken. All procedures for the collection and analysis of samples and the decontamination of tlie iridividual should be deliionstrated or desc.ribed to the evaluator.
All xtivities associated wit11 this criterion must bc based on the OKO's plans and procedures and completed as iliry would be in an actual c~nerger~cy, unless noted above or othenvise indicated in the extent-of-play agreement.

FLoFuiPA POWER AND L m r r CO~IPANY ST. LUCIE PLANT 2004 EhlERGESCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATED EXERCISE FEBRUARY 18,2004 4.1 NARRATIVE SUMh24RY During the turnover briefing, the Operations crew is informed that (I) the 2.4 Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pump is out-of-service (00s) for an oil change and (2) the Operations Supemisor has requested that the monthly surveillance run of the 2B Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) begin prior to 0800. The 2B EDG faiIs to start. This condition places the Unit in a Technical Specification Action Statement.
The Unit 2 Turbine Generator Building (TGB) Gantry Crane is undergoing maintenance. As the crane operator attempts to engage the auxiliary hoist crane, the hook free falls and strikes the 3 phase of the 2B Startup Transfomer. The transformer is lost and cornbkied with the earlier loss of the 2B EDG, renders B Train of electric power out-of-service. This condition places the Unit in another Technical §pecification Action Statement.
The Reactor Coolant System (RCS) experiences a small break leak which is d e t k e d to be bn excess of 50 gallons per minute (GPM). The Shift ManagerEmergency Coordinator (EC) declares an ALERT based on the RCS leakage. The Operators initiate a downpower, but experience feedwater control problems and are forced to trip the turbine and reactor. At the ~
p the 2B EDC is unavailable and electrical loads are being maintained by the 2A S-p Transformer.
The break on the 2B Hot Leg increases such that the loss of RCS exceeds makeup capacity and the EC declares a SITE ARE.A EMERGENCY. On the Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SLAS), the 2A Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) Pump shows fluctuating amperagein the Control Room Simulator. The 2A High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI) Pump is operating normally and provides safety injection to the c.ore.
A hearins prohiem develops and shuts do\\vn the 2.4 HPSI Pump. Re-entry Teams are requested to investigate the loss of the 2A HPSI and 2A LPSI Pumps. The 2A HPSI Pump is not recoverable. The ?A LPSI Pump is found to be air bound. The Re-entry T e a m Kill eventiially recover both the 2.4 LISI Iunp and the 2B EDC;, but not before the core is he3:c.d to XKFF 3nd p s zap activity is released into the RCS. The potential for release of large 3rn:)unts of radioactive mattrial prompts the EC to declare a CiF.NF.KA1. EMERGENCY and the Recovery Manager (RM) to recommend protective actions for the general public.
Radioactive material escapes the Reactor Containment Building (RCH), but is filtered and monitored by the Plant Vent prior to release to the atmosphere. Field Moni:orin$ Teams (FhITs) will monitor and track the resulting plume.
With the restoration of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) and as conditions irnpwve at the plant, the Kbi will initiate discussions of recovcry and re-.entry with the off-site ofticials at the Emergency 0pera:ions Facility (EOF).
