SUMMARY
On March 4, 2003 an exercise was conducted in the 10-mile Plume Exposure Pathway, emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Robert E.Ginna Nuclear Power Station by the State and local governments and evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 11. 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 the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.
The most recent full-scale exercise at this site was conducted on June 6,2001. The qualifjmg emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 21, 1982.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in New York.State, Monroe County and Wayne County 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. Still others have willingly sought ths responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their comniunities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMAs 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 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 responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include e
the following:
Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of the REW and associated procedures developed by State and local governments; Detennining 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 Coinmission (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 Coinmissioii, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, US. 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 II Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by F E U.
3
Formal submission of the RERPs for the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station to FEMA Region II by the State of New York, Monroe County and Wayne County occurred on June 17, 1985. Formal approval of the REWs was granted by FEMA on August 19,1986, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP exercise was conducted on March 4, 2003, by FEMA Region 1T to assess the.
capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their REWs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Robert E. Giima Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite 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 F E W Region ZT RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Director.
The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:
NUREG-0654FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980 (hereafter referred to as NUREG-0654);
FEMA Interim REP Program Manual, August 2002.
Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview," presents basic information and data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
Section IV of this report, titled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed information on the demonstration of applicable exercise criteria at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. This section also contains: (1) descriptions of all Deficiencies and ARCAs assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the State and local governments' schedule of corrective actions for each identified exercise issue and (2) descriptions of unresolved ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs' efforts to resolve them.'

EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the March 4,2003 exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities, which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
A.
Plume EPZ Description The Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station site is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario, in the township of Ontario, in the northwest comer of Wayne County, New York.
The surface of the land on the southern shore of Lake Ontario at the site and East and.Test of it is either flat or gently rolling. It slopes upward to the south from an elevation of about 225 feet above mean sea level near the edge of the lake; to 440 feet at Ridge Road (New York State Highway 104) 32 miles South of the lake; and then to about 1,600 feet at the northern edge of the Appalachian Plateau, 30 to 40 miles to the South. Southward from Ridge Road, the terrain progressively roughens, with a series of small abrupt hills, commencing about 10 miles South of the site.
There are no public highways or railroads that traverse the site area.
Monroe County Monroe County is bordered by Orleans and Genesee Counties to the West, by Livingston and Ontario Counties to the South, by Wayne County to the East and by Lake Ontario to the North.
There are many manufacturing activities centered in and around the city of Rochester.
Approximately 22% of the County's 67 square miles is in urban development, about 28% is vacant, wooded or water surface and 50% is farmland. Of Monroe County's workers, 45% are employed in manufacturing, 20% in service industries, 16% in retail, 1.4% in agriculture and the remainder in other activities.
The population of Monroe County is dispersed among the City of Rochester, nineteen towns and ten villages. In temis of population size and growth, Monroe is number one in the 8-county GeneseeFinger Lakes Region.
5
Wayne County Ginna Station is located in the Town of Ontario (the northwest comer of Wayne County).
Wayne County is bordered by Monroe County to the west, by Ontario and Seneca Counties to the south, by Cayuga County to the east and Lake Ontario to the north.
Since its settlement in the 19th Century, Wayne County has been predominately rural in character. The northern portion of the county, especially the area between Ridge Road and Lake Ontario, is primarily orchards. Chemes, pears and apples are the chief crops produced.
In the Southeastern portion of the County highly productive mucklands can be found that produce, for the most part, corn, potatoes and onions. In the southwest, grains such as corn, oats and wheat are grown. Dairy farms are also located throughout the County. Roughly 70%
of the county's 600 square miles is utilized for approximately 2,500 farms. About 34% of the County's workers are employed in manufacturing operations; 18% in service industries; 16%
in retail trade; 19% in agriculture and 13% in other occupations.
The population is dispersed among fifteen towns and eleven villages. Many residents of the western portion of Wayne County (including the four EPZ towns) commute to jobs in Monroe County.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that are discussed in this report.
A Deficiency is defined as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of 1
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 16
radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant."
0 An ARCA is defined 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 acheve 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 identifjmg 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 thk 'Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
0 Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
Evaluation Criteria Number - An alphanumeric corresponding to the evaluation criterion in the F E W Interim REP Program Manual (e.g., 1.a.l).

AREAS RlEQUXRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 27-03-l.a.l-A-01 Criterion: 1.a. 1 Condition: New York State Department of Health Liaison to Wayne County was not contacted during the alert and notification process.
Possible Cause: This may have been an oversight due to the fact that New York State personnel were pre-positioned in the Ginna N P S area for the exercise.
References:
NUREG-0654, E.l, 2; H.4; State REPP,Section III, 2.3.3 and Procedure B - Communkations/Warning, Attachment 10, State Notification and Activation List.
Effect: The NYS DOH Liaison, not having been contacted by the NYS DOH, was late in getting to the Wayne County EOC.
Recommendation: Review and, if necessary, revise State-level alert and notification procedures to ensure that the State DOH Liaison to Wayne (and Monroe) County is to be contacted promptly. Ensure that notification and mobilization procedures are followed during both exercises and actual events.

Possible Cause: An over reliance on RASCAL program projections which was coiifirmed by most field monitoring data may have resulted in a lower consideration of some out of line field data.
Reference:
NUREG-0654, K.4 Effect: The determination that no correction factor was necessary may have underestimated the TEDE.
Recommendation: All field data should be considered valid and the TEDE 19
correction should not be made until after laboratory analysis confirms the isotopic content of the samples.

Issue No.: 27-03-4.a.l-A-05 AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Criterion: 4.a.l Condition: FMT-Red did not follow their operational checklist procedures.
During equipment readiness verification, a FMT-Red team member was questioned whether or not a particular survey meter was operational, noting that a battery power check had not been made. This inquiry prompted the team member to go back through the operational checklist. The team member with the inventory checklist walked the other member through the standard operating procedure and they discover that the batteries for the detector in question are dead.
This event had the positive effect of prompting the members of FMT-Red to follow their operating procedures more closely. The result was the eventual finding that many of the meters and instruments to be taken into the field were equipped with dead batteries, Le., not operational.
Possible Cause: It is possible that FMT-Red, in their hurry to make up for time lost replacing batteries, rushed through the operating procedures, not realizing that the survey meter was not operational.
Reference:
Wayne County Emergency Response Plan, Procedure 1 1.
Effect: Field instrumentation that is not operating properly can lead to erroneous measurements being taken and reported from the field. Instruments that are not equipped with batteries that work will not register a reading at all. The effect of this issue is twofold. The first effect is personnel exposure if workers cannot measure the presence of radiation. Secondly, dose assessment uses field measurements to refine PARS; erroneous data could adversely impact public 29
health.
Recommendation: Better training of offsite response personnel in the standard operating procedures of monitoring equipment will alleviate this possible problem. It is recommended that better and more frequent training sessions be conducted.
Issue No.: 27-03-4.a.3-A-06 Criterion: -4.a.3 Condition: FMT-Red did not follow their procedures. The team did not perform open and closed window readings when they identified elevated radiation levels on their instruments and did not perfomi open and closed window readings when taking the plume air sample. The sample data form requires this data input, <nd it was not requested by the FMT coordinator when the team communicated the results of the air sample with him.
Possible Cause: FMT-Red was inexperienced in using the field monitoring instrumentation and unfamiliar with their procedures. A general lack of understanding of the significance of open and closed window meter readings is evident. The FMT coordinator may have assumed that the measurements would be taken.
Reference:
NUREG-0654, I.8., 9., 11.; Wayne County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Procedure 1 1.
Effect: Dose assessment relies on the field data to refine PARS. The FMT coordinator directed the team to collect an air sample from inside the plume.
Without open and closed window survey meter readings, the teain did not confirm that they were within the plume and reported incomplete and possibly erroneous data back to the FMT coordinator. The field team, therefore, potentially spent time within the plume collecting samples that may not be useful to the dose assessment team.
Recommendation: The field monitoring team personnel could be better trained in the underlying significance of each of the instrumental readings. Also, it would benefit the field teams to work together more effectively. In this case, mixing some of the more experienced team members from FMT-Blue with new members of FMT-Red would have been an effective way of evenly spreading the experience and training out between the two teams. Lastly, simply training the field response personnel to refer to the standard operating procedures at all times would prevent these sorts of mistakes.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERION AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMlCNT This appendix lists the exercise criterion and the extent-of-play agreement, which were scheduled for demonstration in the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station exercise on March 4, 2003.
The exercise evaluation criteria, contained in the FEMA Interim REP Program Manual, August 2002, represent the application of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980 to an emergency response exercise.
Because the exercise evaluation criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variatioiis among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prep&ed by the State and approved by FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criterion. The following extent-of-play agreement was approved by FEMA Region LI on February 13,2003.

Offsite emergency facilities should be nearing operational readiness.
The low pressure turbine experiences a blade failure.
Multiple turbine blades penetrate the turbine casing. The turbine blades penetrate the turbine building room and intermediate building. The blades impact various components in the intermediate building and turbine building. Various wires in the intermediate building bable runs and the main steam line to the low pressure tirbine downstream of the main steam isolation valves. The turbine will trip on high vibrations. The reactor does not trip automatically. When the operators attempt to manually trip the reactor, it will not trip. When the operators de-energize bus 13 and 15, bus 15 does not trip. The control room operators will send an auxiliary operator to manually trip bus 15 to de-energize the motor-generator set. The auxiliary operator successfully trips bus 15 locally. The reactor core will be damaged by the power excursion.
Reactor coolant activity increases, however, letdown will be isolated on the reactor trip. PORV-430 lifts due to the pressure increase. The PORV will not re-seat properly and vents primary coolant into the pressurized relief tank (PRT).
If a site area emergency is not declared in approximately 15 minutes, a contingency message should be given out to declare it.
