Dear Mr. McGinty:
Enclosed is the Final Report for the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plume Pathway Exercise conducted on August 17, 2004, for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. No Deficiencies were identified during for this exercise. Two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) were identified during this exercise. The first ARCA was identified at the Michigan State Police Evacuation and Access Control Point under Criterion 3.a.1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control, wherein a Michigan State Trooper was not aware of the radiation administrative dose limits. The second ARCA was identified for the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Field Monitoring Teams under Criterion 4.a.1, Plume Phase Field Measurements, whereinTield Monitoring Teams did not perform radiological survey instrument preoperational checks. One prior ARCA remains unresolved for the State of Michigan at the Joint Public Information Center under Criterion 5.b.1, Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and Media. One prior ARCA for the State of Michigan under Criterion 2.b.2, Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions, was resolved during this exercise. A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of this Report. Based on the results of the August 17, 2004, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Michigan, and the Counties of Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren, site-specific to the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, can be implemented. These plans are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public. Therefore, Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Michigan and the Counties of Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren, granted on July 2, 1982, remains in effect. mvwv.fema.gov

SUMMARY
On August 17, 2004, an exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) - Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region V. The purpose of this exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies L and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures. L The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on June 4, 2002. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on December 9, 1980. L DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Michigan the risk counties of Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren l participated along with the State government. Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants L 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 on the part of all the participants was evident during this exercise. This report contains the evaluation of the August 17, 2004, biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities: Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers, and Registration of Evacuees; Monitoring and Decontamination of Emergency Workers' Equipment and Vehicles; and Temporary Care of Evacuees (Congregate Care). The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures, and adequately implemented them. No Deficiencies were identified during this exercise. Two new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified during this exercise. The first ARCA was identified at the Michigan L State Police Evacuation and Access Control Point under Criterion 3.a.1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control, wherein a Michigan State Trooper was not aware of the radiation administrative dose limits. The second ARCA was identified for the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Field Monitoring Teams under Criterion 4.a.1, Plume Phase Field Measurements, wherein Field Monitoring Teams did not perform radiological survey instrument preoperational checks. One prior ARCA remains unresolved for the State of L Michigan at the Joint Public Information Center under Criterion 5.b. 1, Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and Media. A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of this Report. 1
I II. INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed DHS/FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. DHS/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. The DHS/FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/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 governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees. DHS/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 DHSJFEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, L: 1993); and Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process: U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of Energy; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; U.S. Department of the Interior; U.S. Department of Transportation; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. i Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA. Formal submission of the RERPs for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Michigan and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 22, 1982. Formal 2
7 approval of these RERPs was granted by DHS/FEMA on July 2, 1982, under 44 CFR 350. A REP exercise was conducted on August 17, 2004, and evaluated by DHS/FEMA Region V, 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 Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. 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 evaluation team, L with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Director. The criteria utilized in the DHS/FEMA evaluation process are contained in: NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; L
- FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991; and FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology" as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

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. i-Section IV of this report, entitled "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, if applicable, for each identified exercise issue; and (2) descriptions of unresolved ARCAs L; assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs' efforts to resolve them. 3
7 m. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the August 17, 2004, exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-mile plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities. A. Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is a single unit pressurized water reactor with a net capacity of 805 megawatts. The facility owned by Consumers Energy and operated by Nuclear Management Company (NMC), commenced commercial operation in 1971. Lake Michigan is the cooling water source for the plant. The plant is located in northwestern Van Buren County, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Michigan, approximately five miles south-southwest of South Haven. The 10-mile EPZ of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant encompasses parts of Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren Counties, with the major portion of the zone falling within Van Buren County. The total plume pathway EPZ population in the year 2000 was 35,220 (NMC data) persons. Approximately 50 percent of the 10-mile EPZ lies within Lake Michigan. The lake attracts a large number of vacationers during the summer. The area includes various summer resorts, which offer camping facilities, light housekeeping cottages, tourist's attractions, and the Van Buren State Park. The City of South Haven, with a tourism-based economy, is located five miles north of the plant. The population varies from summer to winter months. Agricultural use of the land includes seasonal fresh fruit and vegetable farming and processing. Peak agricultural use takes place during the spring, summer, and fall months. B.

B. 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 are definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria 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 were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions. Area Requiring Corrective Action - 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 that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) they were not demonstrated. e Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated. Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that 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. 13
The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that maybe discussed in this report. A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of 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." 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." The 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 also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis. The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).

PRIOR ISSUE - RESOLVED: 2.b.2 Issue No: 23-04-2.b.2-A-01
== Description:== The Agriculture Advisories for Food Establishments, Feed Operators, and Facilities were issued at the same time (1200 and 1252 hours) the general public was being instructed to evacuate. Corrective Action Demonstrated: The initial set of Agriculture Advisories for Food Establishments, Feed Operators, Fruit and Vegetable Growers and Distributors, and Farmers, Gardeners and Produce Stand Operators were issued simultaneously at 1004 hours during the Site Area Emergency, Emergency Classification Level (ECL). A subsequent Agriculture Advisory expanded the affected area to include Area 5 and was issued at 1111 hours during the General Emergency ECL. Both actions were taken well-ahead of dose projections of future off-site contamination that would exceed Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides. The initial set of advisories was issued at 1004 hours, and the first Protection Action Order (PAO) by the Governor's Authorized Representative was issued at 1105 hours. The advisory (at 1111 hours) 15
expanding the affected area likewise was issued well-ahead of the second PAO L decision (at 1203 hours). These timely actions would have given the various producers and vendors adequate time to implement the actions identified in the advisories; therefore, prior ARCA 23-04-2.b.2-A-01 is resolved L

PRIOR ISSUES - UNRESOLVED: 5.b.1 Issue No: 23-04-5.b.1-A-02
== Description:== Two of the three press releases issued by the Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) contained incomplete or inconsistent information. Reason Previous ARCA Unresolved: Two news releases contained insufficient information detail about protective actions to be taken by the public. Specifically, News Release 6 and 7 did not specify the routes for evacuees to take and the locations of reception and congregate care centers; News Release 6 also did not provide detailed boundary descriptions. In addition, no news release was issued indicating that, at 1111 hours, the livestock advisory had been extended to include Area 5. Hard copies 6f Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages, which contained evacuation route information, were not provided to the media. While much of the detailed evacuation information was presented orally at briefings, too much information was provided verbally to be absorbed in that form. Recommendation: The JPIC staff should ensure that accurate and complete information is provided to the media. All EAS Messages and Special News Broadcasts should be provide (hardcopy) to the media. Detailed boundary descriptions of evacuated areas, evacuation routes, and the locations of reception and congregate care centers should be provided in written form to help assure that it is, in turn, provided to the public in a complete, accurate, and timely manner. Schedule of Corrective Actions: JPIC procedures are being revised to require that written press releases include reception and congregate care center locations, changes to agricultural advisories, evacuation routes, and protective action area boundaries. Current procedures require that this information be provided, but do not specify that this occur in written form. Procedure modifications will be complete by December 31, 2004 and will be provided to state JPIC staff when revisions occur. This issue will be incorporated into 2005 JPIC personnel training. 1.6 Public Inquiry Hotline

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 3.a.1 Issue No: 44-04-3.a.1-A-01 Condition: The Michigan State Police Trooper assigned to a State Traffic and Access Control Point was not aware of his radiation administrative dose limits. Possible Cause: The Trooper did not receive a briefing concerning emergency exposure control when issued his dosimetry equipment. In addition, he was not provided with written guidance on administrative dose limits with the dosimetry equipment.
Reference:
NUREG-0654, K.3.a., b. The Michigan Emergency Management Plan, Nuclear Power Plant Accidents Section, Nuclear Medical Support Subsection (page 208, February 2004). The emergency worker dose limits are contained in Attachment V of the MDEQ Nuclear Facilities Emergency Response Plan (Rev. 6, February 2003). Effect: During an actual nuclear power plant accident, emergency workers could exceed the dose limits specified in the plan. Recommendation: Emergency workers should be briefed concerning dosimetry and emergency worker exposure control prior to being dispatched to the field. Both dosimetry distribution personnel and emergency workers should understand the need to be aware of administrative dose limits. Emergency workers should receive written instructions on the dose limits before being dispatched to their field assignments. Schedule of Corrective Actions: Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) procedures require that dosimetry distribution personnel brief individuals being assigned to the field prior to dispatch. Dosimetry distribution personnel will be trained with an emphasis on the need to inform all field personnel of administrative dose limits prior to dispatch and on the need to provide written instructions on dose limits. 18
Department of State Police personnel will be provided training on dose limits and provided written guidance prior to December 31, 2004. Personnel involved in dosimetry briefings have been informed of the need to conduct the briefing and on the need to provide written guidance via email. These requirements will also be stressed during training in 2005

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 4.a.1. Issue No: 44-04-4.a.1-A-02 Condition: Two of the three Field Monitoring Teams (Teams 2 & 3) did not properly perform radiological survey instrument preoperational checks. Possible Cause: Survey instrument detectors were not held in contact with the radioactive Cesium source, and responses were not verified to ensure they were within the acceptable range(s) posted on the side of each 19
instrument. In addition, one detector had an out-of-date calibration sticker, indicating that it had last been checked more than 12 months ago. The detector was used to count air samples. The calibration date on the sticker was February 13, 2003; however, the actual detector calibration date was February 23, 2004, as verified after the exercise by Department of Environmental Quality personnel.
Reference:
NUREG 0654, H.10; Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Field Team Center Procedure Effect: Survey instruments must be in current calibration and must be verified against a repeatable standard in order to ensure that the instrument/detector is operating accurately. If an instrument does not accurately respond to a known radiation field, the data generated from that instrument could result in the formulation of inappropriate Protective Action Recommendations. Recommendation: Ensure that field team members properly perform instrument preoperational checks prior to use and replace or seek resolution for instruments that do not have current calibration dates. Provide additional detail on the Eberline E-600 instruction sheet (Operations Section 3.d). Do not use an instrument if the check source response is outside the range listed on the side of the instrument. Schedule of Corrective Actions: MDEQ will ensure that field team members are properly trained on the need to perform instrument preoperational checks prior to use and replace or seek resolution for instruments that do not have current calibration dates or when the check source response is outside the range listed on the side of the instrument. MDEQ procedures were revised to include additional detail on the Eberline E-600 instrument sheet on September 2, 2004. Field team personnel have been informed of the need to perform instrument preoperational checks prior to use and to replace or seek resolution for instruments that do not have current calibration dates or when the check source response is outside the range listed on the side of the instrument. This information was conveyed via email and will be stressed during training in 2005.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERIA AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criteria that were scheduled for demonstration in the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant exercise on August 17, 2004, and the off-site extent-of-play agreement I approved by DHS/FEMA Region V on August 4, 2004. The exercise criteria, contained in DHSJFEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise 1: Evaluation Methodology" as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, No 80, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation 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. Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among off-site plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by DHS/FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria. A. Exercise Criteria and Extent-of-Play Listed below are the specific REP criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise. 36
PALISADES NUCLEAR POWER PLANT EXERCISE OBJECTIVES August 17, 2004 Extent of Play Agreements for Allegan County, Berrien County, Van Buren County, and the State of Michigan Evaluation Area 1 - Emergency Operations Management Criterion 1.a.1: OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify and mobilize emergency personnel and activate facilities in a timely manner. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) will be fully activated. State personnel will be mobilized in accordance with procedures with the exception of those reporting to county EOCs, the Field Team Center, and the JPIC. State personnel reporting to the county EOCs will be pre-positioned at the State Police 5th or 6th District Headquarters and will report when mobilized by the SEOC. State personnel reporting to the JPIC will begin participation 30 minutes after the arrival of county JPIC personnel.

Potassium iodide and dosimetry are stored at each county's emergency management office and at the MSP/EMD office in Lansing. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality also maintains supplies of potassium iodide and dosimetry for use by its personnel. Documentation related to KI shelf life extension is maintained by MSP/EMD and was provided during the Fermi 2 REP Exercise on March 23,2004. Evaluation Area 2 - Protective Action Decision Makinu Criterion 2.a.1: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. The ability to make the decision to recommend the use of Kl to emergency workers will be demonstrated by the SEOC. Authorization to exceed state exposure limits will be demonstrated. If the scenario does not provide an opportunity to demonstrate these items, a controller inject will be issued to demonstrate the ability to perform these actions. This criterion does not apply to counties. This criterion may be re-demonstrated as approved on a case-by-case basis by the Chair of the Regional Assistance Committee. 38
-1 Criterion 2.b.1: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions. The Technical Support Group in the SEOC will evaluate licensee and Field Team Center provided information and complete an independent analysis of scenario data. Dose assessment program competence will be demonstrated at the Field Team Center. L This criterion may be re-demonstrated as approved on a case-by-case basis by the Chair of the Regional Assistance Committee. This criterion does not apply to counties. Criterion 2.b.2: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and L necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PADs) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy). This criterion will be demonstrated by the Executive Group in the SEOC in conjunction with applicable support staff. This criterion may be re-demonstrated as approved on a case-by-case basis by the Chair of the Regional Assistance Committee. I This criterion does not apply to counties. Criterion 2.c.1: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups. This criterion will be demonstrated by the Executive Group in the SEOC in conjunction with applicable support staff through the decision to recommend the use of KI to institutionalized persons. Lists of transportation dependent and special needs populations are kept by each L county. No personnel will be moved. Equipment lists and rosters will be available in the county EOCs. No phone calls to transportation dependent persons will be made. The School Services Representatives in the Allegan and Van Buren County EOCs will make phone contact with affected school districts if sch6ols are in session. No scenario information will be discussed during these calls. Berrien County will not demonstrate this criterion. Criterion 2.d.1: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective action decisions are made based on the ORO's planning criteria. L This criterion will not be demonstrated during this exercise. 39

This criterion will be demonstrated by the State of Michigan at the Field Team Center and by Allegan and Berrien Counties during out of sequence reception center, decontamination center, and Allegan, and Van Buren County access control point demonstrations when dosimetry is issued for use by emergency workers. This objective maybe re-demonstrated immediately for credit, at the discretion of the evaluator. Criterion 3.b.1: 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 L workers and institutionalized individuals (not the general public) is maintained. This criterion will be demonstrated during the traffic and access control demonstrations for Allegan and Van Buren Counties and the State of Michigan. Response personnel will demonstrate knowledge of when it is appropriate to take KI, but not actually ingest it. KI will be distributed to emergency workers in Allegan and Van Buren Counties along with their dosimetry. The State will demonstrate this objective at the Field Team Center and through decision-making and directives to implement appropriate Protective Action L Orders. Criterion 3.c.1: Protective action decisions are implemented for special population groups within areas subject to protective actions. This criterion will be demonstrated in the county EOCs via EOC staff discussions which may include evacuation of hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent. These discussions will be documented in situation logs. Actual contacts to special population groups will not be made. Allegan and Van Buren Counties will contact a minimum of four providers of transportation services, which may include public transit authorities, school systems for buses, ambulance services, or fire/rescue services. An attempt will be made to contact a third of the total number of transportation providers. There will be no discussion of scenario information during these calls. 40
Criterion 3.c.2: OROs/School officials decide upon and implement protective actions for schools. This criterion will be demonstrated in Berrien and Van Buren County EOCs as driven by the scenario. If schools are not in session, the FEMA evaluator will conduct an interview with the schools representative in the county EOCs. An EV-2 interview will be conducted in Berrien and Van Buren Counties.

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO This appendix contains a summary of the simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by OROs in the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant exercise on August 17, 2004. The plume exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Michigan and Detroit Edison Company, L and approved by FEMA Region V on January 30, 2004. During the exercise, controllers from the State of Michigan either gave or telephoned "inject messages", containing scenario events and/or relevant data, to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking response actions by OROs. SCENARIO
SUMMARY
The Operating Crew will assume the watch with the plant at full power. Wind is from 210°, SSW at - -15 mph. Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump P-67A is tagged out for maintenance. 6/2 days remain of the 7-day Tech Spec Action statement and motor alignment/coupling activities are in-progress. Due to exceeding the allowed cool down rate in a recent maintenance outage the LCO Annex is carrying an item to limit the PCS cool down rate to 40'F/hr per the Reactor Vessel analysis completed in accordance with Tech Spec 3.4.3. A small seismic event will trip the Roosevelt and Cook #1 lines in the switchyard. Three Cooling Tower fans will also trip. The event will be evident on the PPC via small oscillations in the Safety Injection and Safety Injection Refueling Water tank L levels. The Control Room will receive concurrent phone calls from the Outside Auxiliary Operator and the Duty On-Call Superintendent confirming a seismic event has been felt on-site. The Shift Manager will declare an Unusual Event (UE) under the Natural Phenomenon Category. The crew will enter ONP-12, "Acts of Nature". Following the declaration and notification of the UE to off-site agencies a 70 gpm Steam Generator Tube Rupture will occur in the 'B' Steam Generator (S/G) over the course of one minute. The crew will enter ONP-23.2, "Steam Generator Tube Leak" and quickly transition to EOP-1.0, "Standard Post Trip Actions" as the tube rupture exceeds the ONP trip criteria. The Shift Manager will declare an Alert under the Primary Coolant System (PCS) Integrity Category. Upon completion of the EOP-1.0 verbal verifications the crew will transition to EOP-5.0, "Steam Generator Tube Rupture". The Shift Manager will turn over Site Emergency Director (SED) responsibilities to the Technical Support Center (TSC) SED. The crew will initiate a 40'F/hr cool down rate for the PCS and isolate the 'B' S/G. As the PCS cool down continues the TSC will assume Command and Control. Concurrently the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) will staff and activate. When the EOF is fully staffed the EOF Director will take turnover from the SED and assume Command and Control. The Steam Generator Tube Rupture will rapidly grow to 600 gpm over the course of one minute. Either the Site Emergency Director or the EOF Director, depending on where they are in the turnover process, will declare a Site Area Emergency under the PCS Integrity Category. A seismic aftershock will fail fuel and fail open a 'B' S/G Code Safety Relief Valve. The EOF Director will declare a General Emergency under the Fission Product Barriers/Fuel Damage 51
Category. The Initial Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) will affect Areas 1, 2 and 3 of the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Approximately one hour later Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor RIA-2323 will rise substantially. The EOF Director will deliver a Follow-up PAR that will include Areas 4 and 5 of the EPZ. With the State of Michigan Emergency Operations Center Drill Controllers' concurrence the drill will terminate. Timeline 0800 Operating crew turnover - crew assumes the watch. 0805 Small seismic event trips Roosevelt Line and Cook Line #1 - Safety Injection Tank and Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank levels oscillate slightly - three CIT Fans trip. Message #1 - Crew L_ notified of seismic event felt on-site via concurrent phone calls from Outside AO and D&C Superintendent. Crew enters ONP-12, "Acts of Nature". L 0806 Message #2 - Simulator Controller supplies crew with alternate phone number for National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado. Message #3 - Center confirms small seismic event but has no magnitude information at this time. 0820 Unusual Event declared due to seismic event under Natural Phenomenon. Contingency Message
- 4 may be delivered to the Auxiliary Operators as appropriate for the crews' actions.
0830 Steam Generator Tube Rupture occurs in the 'B' Steam Generator - ramps to 70 gpm in 1 minute. Crew enters ONP-23.2, "Steam Generator Tube Leak" and transitions to EOP-1.0. "Standard Post L Trip Actions". l 0835 Reactor Trip - Alert declared due to excessive PCS leakage under PCS Integrity. Cool down limited due to exceeding PCS C/D rate during previous maintenance outage. Plant Area Radiation Monitor will alarm. Contingency Messages #5 for the HP Technicians, #6 for the Operating Crew and #7 for the SED and/or the Shift Manager may be delivered at this time. Crew transitions to EOP-5.0, "Steam Generator Tube Rupture". 0850 Message #8 - When Safety Injection occurs the TSC will lose (pre-identified) equipment. 0900 Message #9 - When the Operating Crew restores 'E' Bus and LC77, restore the TSC equipment. 0930 Steam Generator Tube Rupture rises to 600 gpm. (Rise to 1000 gpm if crew still has HPSI in-service) 0935 Site Area Emergency declared due to PCS leakage in excess of Charging Pump capacity under PCS Integrity. 1035 Seismic aftershock damages fuel and fails open a 'B' S/G Code Safety Valve. Safety Injection Tank and Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank levels oscillate again - a little larger oscillation this time. Message #10 delivered to all ERFs that the building has just shaken. Crew transitions to EOP-9.0, "Functional Recovery Procedure". 52
1040 General Emergency declared due to three failed fission product barriers under Fission Product Barriers/Fuel Damage. - First PAR delivered - Evacuate Areas 1, 2 & 3 - Contingency Message
- 11 delivered to EOF Director if first PAR does not meet these criteria. Contingency Message
- 12 delivered to Control Room SM, TSC SED and EOF Director allowing l00F/hr cool down rate if this issue is now re-visited. Contingency Message #13 may now be delivered to an Auxiliary Operator sent to investigate S/G Safety Valve status.
1130 Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor RIA-2323 will rise substantially. Contingency Message #14 may be delivered to the EOF Dose Assessors at this time. The EOF Director will deliver a Follow-up PAR that will include Areas 4 and 5 of the EPZ. (1230) Plant cool down will continue until the drill terminates. 53}}
