SUMMARY

The U. S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),

Region II evaluated an exercise on June 8, 2004 and related out of sequence activities ending on July 27, 2004, in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Indian Point 3 Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of the exercise and out of sequence activities was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency.

The exercise and out of sequence activities were held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in New York State; Westchester, Rockland, Orange, and Putnam Counties; and Bergen County, New Jersey 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 this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. The cooperation and teamwork of all participants were evident during this exercise.

This report contains the draft evaluation of the biennial exercise and of the following out-of-sequence activities in Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties: Reception Centers; Congregate Care Centers; Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Centers; General and Special Population Bus Companies; School Bus Companies; Traffic Control Points; School Interviews and Medical Drills.

The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, satisfactorily demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.

There were no Deficiencies and seven Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCAs) identified during the exercise. Four additional ARCAs were identified during out of sequence activities.

Ten of the ARCAs identified in this exercise and the out of sequence activities, as well as seventeen ARCAs from prior exercises, have been resolved. There is one open ARCA to be addressed.

II. 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 REP Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of 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 offsite 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 the following Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

- U.S. Department of Commerce,

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

- U.S. Department of Energy,

- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,

- U.S. Department of Transportation,

- U.S. Department of Agriculture,

- U.S. Department of the Interior

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and

- U.S. Department of Defense.

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

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Indian Point Energy Center to FEMA Region II by the State of New York and involved local jurisdictions occurred on October 10, 1991. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on May 3, 1996, under 44 CFR 350.

A full-scale REP exercise was evaluated on June 8, 2004 by FEMA 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 at the Indian Point 3 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 FEMA Region II RAC 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 Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, November 1980; and Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology, published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2001, and revised April 25, 2002.

Section III of this report, titled "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 that 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 objectives 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.

III. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the June 8, 2004 exercise held to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Indian Point 3 site. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

A. Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The Indian Point Energy Centers (IPEC) 10-mile plume pathway EPZ contains portions of four New York State counties: Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester.

The IPEC is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York. The station is about 0.8 miles southwest of the city of Peekskill, 8.3 miles south of West Point, 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett Generating Station site, 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point Generating Station site, and 2.3 miles north of Montrose Point.

The Indian Point Site is accessible by several roads in the Village of Buchanan. Broadway, a two-lane paved road, borders the site to the east and is the primary access road to the site. The Village roads of Bleakley Avenue and First Street enter Broadway across from the eastern site boundary. Additionally, a paved road links the eastern boundary of the site to the plants.

There are no residences within the site boundary. In addition, there are no public highways or railroads that traverse the site area.

The Indian Point Site is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground ranging from 600 to 1,000 feet above sea level. The site is on the east bank of the Hudson River which runs northeast to southwest at this point but turns sharply northwest approximately two miles northeast of the site.

The west bank of the Hudson is flanked by the steep, heavily wooded slopes of the Dunderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevations 1,086 feet and 1,257 feet respectively) and Buckberg Mountain to the west-southwest (elevation 793 feet). These peaks extend to the west by other names and gradually rise to slightly higher peaks.

The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest. One mile northwest of the site, Dunderberg Mountain bulges to the east; north of Dunderberg and the site, high ground reaching 800 feet forms the east bank of the Hudson as the river makes a sharp turn to the northwest. To the east of the site, peaks are generally lower than those to the north and west. The Spitzenberg and Blue Mountains average about 600 feet in height and there is a weak, poorly defined series of ridges that again run mainly in a north-northeast direction. The river south of the site makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows past Croton and Haverstraw.

The IPEC is approximately 239 acres in size and contains three pressurized water reactors: Unit 1 (615 MWt, 265 MWe, de-fueled), Unit 2 (2,758 MWt, 873 MWe), and Unit 3 (3,025 MWt, 965 MWe). Indian Point Unit 3 is adjacent to and south of Unit 1 and Unit 2 is to the north of Unit 1. The two operating units , #s 2 and 3, were designed by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Indian Point Unit 1 was decommissioned and defueled in 1974.

The Indian Point pressurized water nuclear power plants each contain a nuclear reactor and closed loops of pressurized water that remove the heat energy from the reactor core and transfer the energy to a secondary water system that generates steam. The steam, in turn, drives a turbine generator set which produces electric power.

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 objective demonstration status.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives 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 objectives 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 Actions - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives 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 objectives which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.

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

Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Description 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 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."

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.

Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP 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.

1. NEW YORK STATE 1.1 Emergency Operations Center

a. MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.1, 2.b.2, 2.c.1, 3.c.1, 5.a.1, 5.b.1

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: NONE

d. NOT DEMONSTRATED: NONE

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: ONE Issue No.: 32-02-1.c.1-A-01 CONDITION: At 1112 hours0.0129 days 0.309 hours 0.00184 weeks 4.23116e-4 months , it was announced in the State Command Center, that the Governor had declared a State of Disaster Emergency for the counties of Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester and contiguous areas. The State Plan indicates that, once the State of Disaster Emergency has been declared, the State assumes the lead in decision-making and a State Coordinating Officer will be designated; however, this was not done. There was no announcement or mention to the counties that a change in the decision making process had occurred; decisions still occurred within the counties in coordination with the State Command Center even though the State EOC issued a news release (News Release No. 4, at 1:09 PM) indicating response actions were being coordinated by the Disaster Preparedness Commission.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: This particular process in the State Plan has not been practiced in recent drills or exercises. Specific players may not have been aware that the decision-making authority changes after a declaration of emergency has been made by the Governor for a nuclear power plant emergency.

REFERENCE:

State Plan,Section III, paragraph 2.8 EFFECT: Risk counties were not informed that the State was now the lead decision-maker for protective actions during the emergency response and may have been unaware that additional resources may have been available for the response.

RECOMMENDATION: When a decision is made by the Governor to declare a State of Disaster Emergency, an announcement should be made over the Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS line) indicating that the State is assuming overall command of response operations and is making available additional State resources. In addition, the State Plan should be reviewed to determine if this provision agrees with State law and the county plans. Annual training is required to ensure that all response personnel are aware of this procedure.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: This ARCA was cleared through an interview with the EMD and FEMA evaluator. The EMD had a good understanding of his role and the role of the State in an emergency. Once a Declaration of Disaster Emergency by the Governor occurs, the County agency duties and responsibilities are the same, however the Declaration allows the State to mobilize additional resources should it be necessary.

f. PRIOR ARCAS - UNRESOLVED: NONE 1.2 Emergency Operations Facility

a. MET: 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1, 3.b.1

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: NONE

d. NOT DEMONSTRATED: NONE

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: ONE Issue No.: 32-02-3.a.1-A-02 CONDITION: The Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, and State Department of Health (DOH) personnel assigned to the EOF traveled through the Emergency Planning Zone, enroute to the EOF, without personnel monitoring dosimetry or potassium iodide (KI). They also were not aware of dose limits or administrative and decontamination reporting requirements.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: These individuals were not issued dosimetry or KI, as is required for all emergency workers.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, Criteria K.3.a and J.10.e EFFECT: The exposures received by these emergency workers coming to or leaving the facility would not be recorded. In addition, the EOF is not a shielded facility and these emergency workers could receive additional exposure while inside the EOF.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide all personnel assigned to the EOF a dosimetry/KI kit and training in the dose limits and reporting requirements.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: All emergency responders from Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, and the State Department of Health reported to the EOF with a dosimetry kit consisting of a TLD, a 0-5 R dosimeter, a 0-200 R dosimeter, and a 14-day supply of potassium iodide. Through interview during the exercise, all responders demonstrated knowledge of dose limits, administrative reporting requirements, and decontamination reporting requirements. This ARCA is resolved.

f. PRIOR ARCAS - UNRESOLVED: NONE 1.3 Joint News Center

a. MET: 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 5.a.1

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-5.b.1-A-01 CONDITION: Neither EAS messages nor the Follow-On-Bulletin were provided to the public in Spanish. It is noted that the Bureau of the Census has listed the county of Westchester, as a county where there is greater than 5% of the adult voting age population that are non-English speaking population. Because of this all public information materials, EAS messages, and Follow-On-Bulletins must be in Spanish. It is noted that there is a write in card in the back of the booklets to submit in order to get a non-English booklet.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: This portion of public information has not been done.

REFERENCE:

Based on the 2000 Census, a Federal Register notice in 2002 indicated that Westchester County must provide information in Spanish. This is based on the Voting Rights Act and the requirement to provide information if there is 5% of the adult voting population who does not use English. See also Guidance Memorandum 20.

EFFECT: Part of the population would not understand the instructions to evacuate or take KI.

RECOMMENDATION: Prepare EAS and Follow-On-Bulletins in Spanish.

d. NOT DEMONSTRATED: NONE

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: TEN Issue No.: 75-00-11-A-03 (5.b.1)

CONDITION: The rumor control telephone number was not included in any printed information such as Special News Broadcasts, public information brochures or news releases. (NUREG-0654, G.2.c.; 2000 Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Workplan; Planning For Emergencies, pg.5, Rumor Control.)

REASON ARCA UNRESOLVED: Although the number was announced at the media briefings, the rumor control telephone number is not printed in the Westchester, Rockland, Orange or the Putnam Counties Important Information on Indian Point and Planning for Emergencies Brochure. Orange County did not publicize the public inquiry telephone number in its press releases at the Alert, SAE or the GE classification levels.

RECOMMENDATION: A listing in the public information brochure of a toll-free (800) emergency telephone number for public inquiries is necessary. It is confusing and misleading to print a toll-free (800) number for non-emergency questions and general information when it does not provide the public an immediate service during emergency situations. The plan and public information brochure should be revised to specify the dedicated public inquiry number that will be operational during an emergency. Once the predominant and significant rumors are identified, government officials must address them with the public through press releases and media briefings.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The rumor control telephone number was included on all EAS, Follow-On-News messages and media releases. In addition, the number was provided in all media briefings.

Issue No.: 75-00-11-A-04 (5.a.1)

CONDITION: Per joint news center procedures, if the EAS [Emergency Alert System]

message contains a PAR [Protective Action Recommendation] for evacuation or sheltering, EAS personnel from counties and state will assist in preparing a special news bulletin which expands the information contained in the EAS broadcast message.

Immediately after sign-off, the Special News Bulletin is faxed to the EAS station. The EAS coordinator confirms receipt of faxed bulletin with the station. This did not occur during the exercise. There was no follow-up message or bulletin sent to the EAS station.

(NUREG-0654, E.5; 2000 Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Workplan, pg. 4, EAS Message Preparation Procedures.)

REASON ARCA UNRESOLVED: The initial EAS message did not include a Follow-On-News Bulletin, and so none was faxed to the EAS station. Subsequent EAS messages did have Follow-On-News Bulletins, but these, in accordance with the Extent-of-Play, were also not faxed to the EAS station. Therefore, the ARCA has not been resolved.

RECOMMENDATION: Demonstrate that Follow-On-News Bulletins will be faxed to the EAS station in the event of an emergency.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Both EAS messages and the one follow-on news bulletin were transmitted via facsimile and telephone to the EAS station.

Issue No.: 75-00-12-A-05 (5.a.1)

CONDITION: At the Joint News Center (JNC) media briefing, conducted at 1035 hours0.012 days 0.288 hours 0.00171 weeks 3.938175e-4 months , the Westchester County Public Information Officer (PIO) announced that at 1039 hours0.012 days 0.289 hours 0.00172 weeks 3.953395e-4 months sirens had been sounded at 1041 hours0.012 days 0.289 hours 0.00172 weeks 3.961005e-4 months and an EAS message had been broadcast at 1044 hours0.0121 days 0.29 hours 0.00173 weeks 3.97242e-4 months . This was prior to these events. At the next media briefing at 1145 hours0.0133 days 0.318 hours 0.00189 weeks 4.356725e-4 months , the briefing was conducted during the time the second alert and notification sequence was occurring (with sirens sounded at 1150 hours0.0133 days 0.319 hours 0.0019 weeks 4.37575e-4 months and the EAS being broadcast at 1153 hours0.0133 days 0.32 hours 0.00191 weeks 4.387165e-4 months ). Both of these media briefings should have been delayed until after the alert and notification activity had concluded. If these briefings had been broadcast live they could have created a great deal of confusion. (NUREG-0654, E.7; 2000 Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Workplan, pg. 2, Media Briefings.)

REASON ARCA UNRESOLVED: As noted in the new issue #32-02-5.b.1-A-06 described above, there were, again, significant disconnects between the time that events occurred and the times that information was given to members of the media during briefings at the Joint News Center.

RECOMMENDATION: The plan and procedures for conduct of press briefings must be revised to permit the introduction of new information and late-breaking news, if it arises shortly before or during briefings. Press briefings should be delayed or interrupted in order to disseminate the most current information and protective actions. Additionally, when an alert and notification sequence is scheduled, the media briefings should be delayed until after the EAS broadcast. In addition, all public information staff, particularly those who would report to the JNC, should be trained on how to manage the situation when there is new information arriving just before or during a press briefing.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Information was immediately conveyed to the media when received in the JNC. The first full media briefing occurred at 0941. This occurred after the EAS message was broadcast.

Issue No.: 32-02-1.d.1-A-03 CONDITION: The videoconference link in the Media Briefing room, (both audio and visual), between Orange County and the Joint News Center (JNC) was non-operational through the first three briefings.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: According to State personnel working on the failed link, it is an AT&T problem, not ours.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 EFFECT: As the videoconference equipment was located in the media briefing room in lieu of a Public Information Officer (PIO) from Orange County, the ability of the County and the media to discuss and disseminate accurate information was adversely affected.

The media would have had to contact the Orange County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) directly for information, and would have received information that had not been coordinated through the JNC.

RECOMMENDATION: The videoconference equipment requires two dedicated telephone lines to allow two-way data flow for a video connection. This equipment should have been tested and the link established early for the exercise. When the link does fail to operate, a representative PIO from Orange County should be repositioned to the JNC, or a telephone conference line should be added to the media briefing room.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The videoconferencing system link worked fine during the exercise, enabling the Orange County PIO to participate fully in all the briefings.

Issue No.: 32-02-1.e.1-A-04 CONDITION: The Main Briefing room audio multi-box was non-functional throughout the exercise.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The audio multi-box in the main briefing room had a problem somewhere in the wiring.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, E.5, E.7 EFFECT: The media was unable to gather and transmit good quality audio coming from the microphone located at the front podium. Media personnel were forced to place microphones against speakers for sound. Eventually, additional microphones were added to the podium.

RECOMMENDATION: The multi-box should be tested, repaired, or replaced. A back-up wire from the podium to the rear platform could also be installed, or provide one long enough to run the length of the room, to the rear platform.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: All speakers on the Media Briefing Room dais had individual microphones connected to the rooms and the entire JNCs public address system. All worked flawlessly during the exercise.

Issue No.: 32-02-5.a.1-A-05 CONDITION: The EAS messages and the Follow-On-News Bulletins did not provide timely, accurate information to the public. For example, the initial EAS message concluded with the phrase Stay tuned to this Emergency Alert System station for further information and instructions. Since there was no Follow-On-News Bulletin for airing on the EAS station, and the EAS message did not contain a public inquiry number, the public would have had to wait two hours and 12 minutes until the second EAS airing at 1226 to receive the public inquiry number and further information and instructions.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The staff developing the EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins most likely did not develop a Follow-On-News Bulletin for the first EAS message since there were no detailed emergency instructions or protective action recommendations in the EAS message, and they did not realize that the EAS message did not include the public inquiry number.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, E.5, 7 EFFECT: The public would have had to wait over two hours before hearing the public inquiry number. This is too long; many members of the public would have had important questions to ask of public safety officials.

RECOMMENDATION: Revise the EAS messages to include the public inquiry telephone number. Provide a Follow-On-News Bulletin for every EAS message. Provide additional training to the personnel who will compose the public information messages so that they will check to make sure that the public inquiry telephone number is broadcast in a timely fashion.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Both EAS messages and the one follow-on news bulletin did include the public inquiry number.

Issue No.: 32-02-5.b.1-A-06 CONDITION: There were major delays between the actual times events occurred and the times that information was given to members of the media during briefings at the Joint News Center. Specific instances are documented in press briefings # 3, 4 & 5.

The utility spokesperson, who introduced each press briefing, in press briefing

3 announced at 1256 that a General Emergency (GE) had been declared, but failed to explain the significance of the event. He was followed by the Westchester County spokesperson who began reading EAS message #2 at 1257, describing a Site Area Emergency at the plant. Upon completion, the Westchester County spokesperson did refer to the previously announced GE condition at the plant, but also did not offer an explanation or additional information. Near the conclusion of this briefing, the State of New York spokesperson finally expressed grave concern about the GE, but offered no guidance.

Press briefing # 4 began at 1356 and continued until 1423. At 1358, the Westchester County spokesperson read EAS message # 3 that had aired at 1318 hours0.0153 days 0.366 hours 0.00218 weeks 5.01499e-4 months . The message stated that there was no radiation release at the plant. Actually, a radiation release had been detected at the plant at 1354.

Press briefing # 5 began at 1456 hours0.0169 days 0.404 hours 0.00241 weeks 5.54008e-4 months . The Westchester County spokesperson announced that EAS Follow-On-News Bulletin # 3, distributed at 1338 hours0.0155 days 0.372 hours 0.00221 weeks 5.09109e-4 months - an hour and 18 minutes earlier - had inadvertently stated that there had been a radiation release at the plant. The spokesperson asked that persons holding copies of Follow-On-News Bulletin # 3 destroy them, replacing them with revised Follow-On-News Bulletin #3. It was later learned that the JNC personnel had been aware of the incorrect bulletin by about 1353, several minutes before press briefing #4 began. However, a decision was made to hold on to the corrected announcement for more than an hour.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There were instances during the exercise when press briefings were scheduled in order to deliver specific information, but even before the information was delivered to the media, it was being superseded by new and more serious information. Decisions were made to withhold the new information until a later press briefing instead of delaying or interrupting a press briefing in order to disseminate the most current information about conditions and protective actions to the media, and, therefore, the public.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E.5, 7.

EFFECT: The delays between the actual times that events occurred and the times that information was given to members of the media during briefings at the Joint News Center resulted in the most urgent and needed information being delayed for up to ninety minutes until the next scheduled press briefing.

RECOMMENDATION: The plan and procedures for conduct of press briefings must be revised to permit the introduction of new information and late-breaking news if it arises shortly before or during briefings. Press briefings should be delayed or interrupted in order to disseminate the most current information and protective actions. In addition, all public information staff, particularly those who would report to the JNC, should be trained on how to manage the situation when there is new information arriving just before or during a press briefing.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: There were two fully staffed briefings and three partial briefings. When the General Emergency ECL arrived, the PIOs discussed and delayed a complete media briefing. Instead, the State PIO announced to the media there was a General Emergency and that the state and counties were working to determine any PADs. The state PIO left the podium and the utility and NRC continued the briefing. Discussions were thorough and in depth.

Issue No.: 32-02-5.b.1-A-07 CONDITION: The Joint News Center personnel used emergency response protective area (ERPA) numbers only in announcing protective action decisions, rather than explaining the ERPAs by geographic descriptions as well.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Since emergency response protective area zone numbers are published and made available to residents living within close proximity to the Indian Point Energy Center, it is assumed that all residents know their ERPA number, evacuation route and designated reception center. This is an unrealistic expectation. It also does not take into account how transients are given geographic information.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E.5, 7 EFFECT: Using ERPA zone numbers in public information, without giving the appropriate geographical information, could result in confusion on the part of residents and transients and cause them to respond incorrectly to emergency information and emergency instructions.

RECOMMENDATION: Review and revise the plan and procedures for providing protective action decision information to the public in order to clearly identify for residents and transients the area in which they are at the time of the announcement, and the correct protective actions to take at that time from that location. Provide additional training to all public information staff on the revised plan and procedures.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: When ERPAs were used, there were generic references to landmark descriptions given and also references to the brochure where a more complete description is located. In addition, during the media briefings, a large map was visible showing the ERPAs.

Issue No.: 32-02-5.b.1-A-08 CONDITION: There were discrepancies between information in the EAS messages and the Follow-On-News Bulletins as well as missing or incorrect information in the Follow-On-News Bulletins. Specifically:

EAS message #2 did not list ERPA 9 as evacuating, yet the Follow-On-News Bulletin references the evacuation route for ERPA 9 on page 2.

EAS message #3 stated that there had not been a release of radioactive materials, while the first issuance of Follow-On-News Bulletin #3 stated that there was a release (see below).

Follow-On-News Bulletins #s 3 & 4 did not contain evacuation route instructions for previously evacuated ERPAs that were still under an evacuation directive.

Follow-On-News Bulletin # 5 stated that all ERPAs in Putnam County were sheltered when all ERPAs in Putnam County were evacuated.

There was no explanation in any of the Follow-On-News Bulletins that the numbers preceding each paragraph are referring to the ERPA numbers.

The Follow-On-News Bulletin for EAS message # 3 had to be retracted and revised because the Bulletin stated that there had been a radioactive release when there had not been a release. EAS message # 3 was aired (simulated) at 1318; the original Bulletin was faxed (simulated) to the EAS station at 1336. At 1428, the State Public Information Officer (PIO) informed the County PIOs that the first version of the Bulletin contained erroneous information and had been retracted and replaced by a revised Bulletin. At 1501, during briefing # 5, the Westchester County PIO told the media representatives that they were to destroy the originals of the Bulletin and pick up the revised Bulletin. This was too late to prevent confusion on the matter.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The pre-scripted EAS messages do not include the public inquiry telephone number. Also, the persons composing and approving the EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins did not catch the errors and discrepancies noted above.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E.5, 7 EFFECT: Potential confusion on the part of the media and the public on (1) what the status of the emergency situation was, (2) how to get additional information via a public inquiry number, and (3) what to do in response to the emergency situation.

RECOMMENDATION: Review and revise the Joint News Center plan and procedures to include revised pre-scripted EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins. The revisions should include necessary information (such as the public inquiry number) and a method to reduce the possibility of discrepancies between the EAS messages and the Follow-On-News Bulletins. One way to do this is to provide a series of pre-scripted EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins that are consistent with each other that would cover a variety of emergency situations and protective responses, as is found in many other radiological plans and procedures for other sites in the country. The current One Size Fits All pre-scripted EAS message and Follow-On-News Bulletin included in the JNC plan and procedures is not sufficient. Also, provide additional training to the personnel who will compose and approve the EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins during an exercise or incident.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The two EAS messages and one follow-on message were carefully reviewed and contained accurate information. The public inquiry number was included in all messages.

Issue No.: 32-02-5.b.1-A-09 CONDITION: Personnel at the Joint News Center did not explain the protective action decisions that had been made for residents and transients under the various emergency classification levels (ECLs) that were included in the EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There may be a misconception among emergency management officials that residents understand emergency classification levels and know exactly what to do when given instructions in an EAS message and/or a Follow-On-News Bulletin, without further explanation provided at the press briefings.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E.5, E.7 EFFECT: A failure to completely inform residents and transients of what the emergency classification levels (ECLs) mean, and what protective action decisions are based on the ECLs, could result in the public not following appropriate and timely emergency instructions.

RECOMMENDATION: Review and revise the plan and procedures, and the text of the pre-scripted EAS messages and Follow-On-News Bulletins, to include explanations of the emergency classification levels and what they mean to the public. Provide all public information staff with additional training on the revised plan and procedures.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The protective action decisions and Emergency Classification Levels were clearly discussed in both the media briefings and the press releases.

f. PRIOR ARCAS - UNRESOLVED: NONE 1.4 Emergency Alert Station - Station WHUD-FM

a. MET: 5.a.1

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-1.d.1-A-02 CONDITION: WHUD-FM (EAS Radio Station) is on the air 24/7; however, between 7 PM and 12 PM, Monday to Friday, the station utilizes a satellite feed for broadcasting.

Accordingly, between those hours, alternate arrangements need to be made to receive and act upon requests to activate the Emergency Alert System.

Calls from the Joint News Center regarding activation of the Emergency Alert System come into the radio station directly to the on-air announcers. Since there are no on-air announcers when there is a satellite feed for programming, the station arranged for the telephone call to roll-over to the on-air announcers at sister station WSPK-FM, which has live programming 24/7. Additionally, a light on a status board indicates that there is a call into the EAS system hot-line. The broadcast booth for WSPK is located adjacent to WHUD.

During an exercise test of the rollover feature, an incoming call failed to rollover to the alternate number at WSPK-FM. If this had occurred during the period when there were no on-air announcers at WHUD-FM, the call requesting activation of the Emergency Alert System may have gone unanswered. The Stations Chief Engineer stated that the telephone system was supposed to have the rollover feature. A call to Verizon verified that the telephone system had the rollover feature inadvertently removed during recent system modifications. The Chief Engineer requested Verizon re-install the rollover feature, which was supposed to be initiated on June 9.

The back-up fax machine used for notification is located in the stations News Room.

This facility is not manned outside of normal business hours and any faxes would not be noticed or responded to, and thus cannot be considered a back-up during off-hours.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The rollover feature of the telephone system was inadvertently canceled during recent system changes.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, F.1.2 EFFECT: A telephone call from the Joint News Center to activate the Emergency Alert System may go unanswered during periods when there is no live on-air programming.

RECOMMENDATION: Reinstall the rollover feature to the telephone system.

Revise Emergency plans at the Joint News Center to include a contingency if a call for EAS activation is not answered. The plans should include the back-up phone number at WSPK-FM and notification calls to the WHUD News Director for fax receipt confirmation.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The issue has been resolved - the Chief Engineer of WHUD contacted Verizon on June 8, 2004 (as soon as the problem was discovered - during the exercise) and requested Verizon reinstall the rollover feature to the telephone system of the station. The State Exercise Director reported on June 10, 2004 that the work had been completed.

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-1.c.1-A-03 CONDITION: The Orange County Attorney released Executive Order (EO) No. 4, which contained erroneous information. The EO stated due to the reported release of radioactivity into the environment I have determined that the public health, safety, and welfare requires that all persons within the ten-mile Emergency Planning Zone be sheltered in place to minimize the exposure to radiological contaminated air. EO 4 was faxed to the Joint News Center and posted for the media for about an hour before the New York State Emergency Management Office contacted the Orange County PIO about the error. SEMO recommended that the PIO inform the public by producing a news release that acknowledged the error and that the County Attorney amend the EO.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The County Attorney either was not informed that there was no release or did not realize that a typographical error occurred. This was further complicated by the fact that the EO, though reviewed by the County Executive, was still signed and released.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, G.2 EFFECT: The news media, and possibly the general public, received this EO and would have assumed that a radioactive release had occurred.

RECOMMENDATION: Develop procedures for verification of documents prior to signature and release to the public. Provide additional training on reviewing documents.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The County Attorney issued EO 5, which amended EO 4. EO 5 further stated that portion of Executive Order No. 4 which referred to a release of radioactivity at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant; said reference in Executive Order No. 4 was solely the result of an inadvertent clerical error.

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: ONE Issue No.: 32-02-5.b.1-A-10 CONDITION: Orange County press releases did not provide telephone numbers for the Public Inquiry Line, JNC-Media Response Desk, and the Orange County PIO.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The public information function at the county emergency operations center was disrupted by failure of the video conference link with the Joint News Center.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, E.5, 7; G.3.a, G.4.c EFFECT: The news media and general public did not have complete information on who to contact for information on actions in Orange County.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide all public information staff with additional training to ensure that they understand which emergency information numbers should be provided to the media and the public. Develop or revise Standard Operating Procedures for preparing news releases.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The PIO developed/coordinated 13 news releases. Each one of the news releases included a media inquiry telephone number (914 683-8499) and a public inquiry telephone number (914 683-6499). During the media (video conference) briefing, the PIO reiterated these numbers, plus the Orange County telephone number. This corrected this ARCA.

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-2.b.1-A-04 CONDITION: Dose Assessment Staff did not know how to calculate the Total Organ Dose Equivalent (TODE-thyroid) from field measurements. The staff used the wrong data (i.e., particulate reading) to calculate the Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE-thyroid), made mistakes with units, and did not add the Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE) for external exposure to the CDE- thyroid to obtain the TODE-Thyroid. A PAR was not provided.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Staff did not have a basic understanding of the methodology for calculating doses from field measurements.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 I.8, 10 EFFECT: Inability to make accurate dose calculations may result in development of a protective action recommendation that is not accurate, and is not protective of the general public.

RECOMMENDATION: More extensive training is needed on performing dose calculations using field measurement data.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Deputy Commissioner of Emergency Services and Dose Assessment Staff participated in a FEMA Staff Assistance Visit on July 27, 2004 with representatives of SEMO. The Dose Assessment Staff demonstrated the ability to calculate Total Organ Dose Equivalent (TODE-Thyroid) from field data.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The initial notification to these personnel came from the Warning Point (WP) located in the County Supervisor Dispatch Office. The information provided to them incorrectly called the situation an SAE. This is not consistent with the initial call from the plants Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) over the Radiological Emergency Communications System line (RECS).

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E.1, E.2 EFFECT: Emergency workers were given incorrect information and could have made inappropriate decisions.

RECOMMENDATION: County Dispatcher / Communications personnel should participate in additional training with emphasis on accuracy.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Using both an automated computerized notification system and commercial telephones, the communications staff, at 0814, began notification of key county government officials in accordance with established standard operating procedures. Copies of these procedures are kept on file at the CCC and were referred to during the notification. The group notification utilized pagers, cell phones, office and home telephone numbers that were accurate and up to date. Key personnel notified included the Sheriffs duty Sergeant, and the County Executive, Commissioner of the Bureau of Emergency Services, and Deputy Director of Emergency Services.

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: TWO Issue No.: 75-00-03-A-11 (1.c.1)

CONDITION: Rockland County did not keep Bergen County abreast of important information and developments. For example, Rockland County did not notify Bergen County that an SAE had been declared until after notifying Bergen that a GE had been declared. Bergen County learned of the SAE only after calling back to Rockland to confirm the GE. In addition, Bergen County was only notified of the first siren activation and EAS message. No notice was given of the final three activations and messages, nor was Bergen County notified of the termination of the radioactive release. (NUREG-0654, A.1.d., 2.a.,b.; Rockland County REPP, Procedure RC/BC-1, Rockland County/Bergen County Liaisons, Section 5.3.1, EOC Operations.)

REASON ARCA UNRESOLVED: Rockland County did not provide information to Bergen County in a timely manner. Information to Bergen County from Rockland County was obtained only in response to direct requests to Rockland County from the Bergen County EOC. The Liaison from the Rockland County Sheriffs Office arrived and immediately stated that he had only been directed to perform this duty 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months previously. He further stated that he had received no training for the task he was about to undertake and that he had been told to report to the Bergen County EOC Director who would tell him what to do. Ultimately, the Bergen County EOC Director asked the Rockland County Liaison to call the Rockland County EOC for updates every 15 minutes.

In addition, the Bergen County liaisons within the Rockland County EOC also indicated that they were new to this assignment and unfamiliar with their responsibilities and the plan. For example, the Rockland County Operations Chief had to speak directly to the liaison in Bergen County to pass information to Bergen County, because the liaisons within the Rockland EOC did not know what information to pass on: the decision to activate school reception centers, and congregate care centers (which are in Bergen County) was not communicated to Bergen County.

RECOMMENDATION: Review and revise the Rockland County Plan and Procedures for communication with Bergen County. Review and revise the plan and procedures for Bergen County. Train all personnel who will have duties providing communications between Rockland and Bergen Counties.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The plan/procedures for liaison personnel located in the Bergen County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) have been revised through close coordination with Rockland County Emergency Management. The Radiological Emergency Response Agency Procedure, Rockland County/Bergen County Liaisons, (RC/BC-1) was revised and issued in April 2004. It contains a detailed description of the duties for liaison personnel. The Rockland County liaison person, located in the Bergen County EOC, was very well trained in the listed duties. Through observation and interview throughout the exercise, it was determined that he had extensive knowledge of the duties for this position, as described in RC/BC-1. All information (siren soundings, Emergency Alerting System messages, press releases, etc.)

was conveyed to Bergen County in a timely manner. These actions resolve ARCA 75 03-A-11.

Issue No.: 32-02-4.a.2-A-12 CONDITION: Field Monitoring Team #1 was not informed of key information in accordance with Radiological Emergency Response Agency Procedure, DOH-7, Field Monitoring Team Coordinator, Section 5.4.9.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Periodic contacts with Field Monitoring Team #1 did not request acknowledgement from the team that appropriate information designated in the procedure was received.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, I.8., 11 EFFECT: Information related to protective actions taken is essential for field teams supporting plume tracking, contamination control, and management of radiological exposures.

RECOMMENDATION: EOC staff involved in transmission of information to field teams should carefully follow the designated procedure and request acknowledgements from field teams that they are aware of prescribed information affecting field activities.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Both FMTs were kept informed of changing conditions at IPEC and the current meteorology. At 1020, the FTC updated both FMTs by radio on current meteorological conditions and the status of IPEC. At intervals of approximately 15 minute, the FMC reminded the FMTs to check their DRDs.

At 1410, the FMC read Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS)

Message #23 to the FMTs. The time denoted on Message #23 was 1358 and provided an update of current meteorological conditions, status of IPEC, information that there were no off-site protective action recommendations, and reiterated that an emergency classification level of Site Area Emergency had been declared by IPEC at 0924. At 1414, RECS Message #24 was received by the dose assessment team. At 1424, the FTC read this message to the FMTs. The message stated that an emergency classification level of General Emergency had been declared by IPEC at 1414 and provided an updated status of IPEC, meteorological conditions, and identified the off-site protective action recommendations. This resolves Issue Number 32-02-4.a.2-A-12.

e. PRIOR ARCAS - RESOLVED: ONE Issue No.: 32-02-4.a.3-A-13 CONDITION: After completing the air sample with the Air Sampler H-809C, a field team member placed the uncovered filter and cartridge on the radiator grill area adjacent to the battery, causing cross contamination from the vehicle surface to the filter and cartridge.

Through interview, the team simulated moving to a low background area to survey the filter and cartridge. A team member placed the Ludlum 14C survey instrument (pancake probe) directly on the contaminated filter and cartridge while surveying the samples.

The Air Sampler H-809C and the Eberline RO-2A were placed in the same plastic bag as was used for personal protective clothing and equipment.

Though the filter and cartridge samples were properly bagged and labeled, they were placed in the field team kit without being monitored.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Rockland County Emergency Preparedness Radiological Response Plan and support procedures did not adequately address contamination control of samples during collection and transfer. The instrumentation operation procedures within the plan did not adequately detail contamination control procedures with regards to instrument usage and storage during field operations.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, I.9 EFFECT: The lack of contamination control in the control and transfer of field samples could result in the Field Monitoring Team relaying incorrect exposure information to Dose Assessment at the EOC, thus altering the Rockland County Protective Action Decisions.

RECOMMENDATION: Additional training of the Field Monitoring Team and further clarification of the sampling and contamination reduction procedures should be considered. The Field Team Procedures and other portions of the field kit should not be placed on the ground or under the hood during sampling. To reduce general cross contamination during field operations, the team should place the air sampler and the Eberline RO-2A in separate individual plastic bags.

The Air Sampler H-809C, Ludlum 14C, and Eberline RO-2A survey techniques contained in the Rockland County Emergency Preparedness Radiological Response Plan Standard Operating Procedures (DOH 11, Attachment 4, pp. 11-13) should be updated to include detailed information on general field team and instrument specific cross-contamination techniques.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The members of Rockland County Field Monitoring Team 2 exhibited good contamination control procedures. The probe of the counting instrument (Ludlum 14C) was encased in thin plastic and changed after each use. Team members constantly changed their gloved after handling potentially contaminated equipment. The air sampler was placed on a clean plastic bag on the tailgate of the vehicle in a low background area while the sample was being counted.

The plastic bags containing the samples were monitored prior to placing them in the vehicle. The instrument was placed in a dirty bag for transport.

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Issue No.: 32-04-3.a.1-A-05 CONDITION: Some of the newer members of the Spring Valley Volunteer Fire Department assigned to vehicle monitoring were not knowledgeable on the proper use of dosimetry.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Unfamiliarity with procedures.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.3 EFFECT: Possible inability to keep track of their exposure to radioactive materials.

RECOMMENDATION: Additional training on the correct dosimetry procedures needs to be provided to members of the Spring Valley Volunteer Fire Department.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The proper use of dosimetry was demonstrated at Chestnut Ridge Junior High School on October 7, 2003.

Issue No.: 32-04-6.a.1-A-06 CONDITION: The registrars for the Chestnut Ridge Junior High School were not as knowledgeable about what happens to an evacuee after being registered. They were unclear on (1) which congregate care centers were available and therefore could not tell the evacuee where he would be taken, (2) what to do about a dog that was left behind, and (3) how missing medications would be obtained for evacuees. Since this is the type of information that evacuees will be seeking, it is important for the registrars to be have this information provided to them.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Department of Social Services has not received recent training in the registration process for reception centers.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, J.10.h EFFECT: The evacuees would have been unable to get the information that they needed.

RECOMMENDATION: Additional training of the Rockland County Department of Social Services is given to those personnel who would be assisting at Reception Centers.

After showering, the emergency worker was re-monitored using the same improper technique.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Inadequate training.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.5.b EFFECT: By failing to monitor the torso (front and back) and soles of the feet the contaminated individual could have remained contaminated after the removal of the detected contamination. He could have spread this undetected contamination to clean areas and individuals with resultant adverse health effects to them and himself.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide retraining on proper monitoring techniques.

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-1.a.1-A-08 CONDITION: At 1006 the EOC was declared operational. Unfortunately most of the dose assessment staff did not receive the automated calls and were not present. They had been left off the list. At the time the EOC was declared fully operational no one checked with dose assessment to see if there were sufficient staff for that function.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The automated telephone alerting system was incomplete and most of the dose assessment staff was not notified. In addition, the dose assessment room in the EOC was not checked to ensure that all functions were staffed.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 E.1, E.2, H.4 EFFECT: Dose assessment reports and recommendations expected to help determine emergency response would be unavailable and alternates from other locations would not have been prepared promptly, delaying emergency decisions.

RECOMMENDATION: Check automated phone list to ensure that all necessary staff have been included. Test the response to a call out periodically. In addition, someone should be responsible for checking with personnel in each room of the EOC to ensure that they are sufficiently staffed to be operational.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN: This issue has been resolved - the Health Department has updated its automated telephone notification system and has instituted a new, internal notification system for the personnel who will be used to augment the telephone notification system. Procedures have also been revised to provide guidelines on declaring the EOC operational. These actions were confirmed in writing on September 30, 2004 by the County Department of Emergency Services and in a meeting on October 20, 2004 with the State and County. The revised notification system will be demonstrated in the next evaluated drill or exercise.

b. DEFICIENCY: NONE

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Issue No.: 32-04-4.a.3-A-09 CONDITION: Contamination control measures were inadequate to preclude the potential for cross-contamination of sample media. Although two pairs of gloves (polyvinyl chloride and latex) were worn, they were not changed during the entire time that the team member handled the sample pump, the sampling head, the two components of the sample (i. e. the particulate filter and the radioiodine collection cartridge) as they were inserted into the sample holder, and the sample media as they were being bagged.

Second, the sample media were counted in the vehicles area of greatest contamination potential (on the floor, just inside the sliding side doors of the van). Third, the contaminated waste materials bag was positioned so that potentially contaminated materials (shoe covers, gloves, wipes, etc) would pass directly over the area where the sample media were counted. Fourth, no checks of the vehicle, equipment, or persons for contamination were made during the entire sampling operations. At one point, potentially contaminated gloves were laid on the seat above the sample counting area without first being checked for contamination and, at another, the particulate filter was dropped onto the contaminated floor and then picked up and placed in the sample envelope without monitoring of the floor or consideration of whether that filter should be discarded and another sample taken.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Over-emphasis on the need for speedy field team-generated information and under-emphasis on need for contamination control during sample collection and counting sequences in Westchester County plans and field monitoring procedures together with resulting lack of sufficient training in the area of sample contamination control.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, I.9 EFFECT: Cross-contamination or artificial contamination of air sample filter media can result in significant error in the estimation of plume radioactivity. Counting results are used to formulate protective action recommendations; therefore, overestimation or underestimation of plume radioactivity can have significant consequences on estimated dose and actions prescribed for public safety.

RECOMMENDATION: Emphasize in existing procedures and training the need for high quality contamination control practices with regard to maintaining plume air sample integrity.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN: This issue has been resolved - the Health Department has revised its procedures to emphasize contamination control practices and to specifically include the changing of gloves after the air sample is brought back to the vehicle and before the air sample reading is taken. The field teams will be trained in these revised procedures. These actions were confirmed in writing on September 30, 2004 by the County Department of Emergency Services and in a meeting on October 20, 2004 with the State and County. The revised procedures will be demonstrated in the next evaluated drill or exercise.

Issue No.: 32-04-4.a.3-A-10 CONDITION: Monitoring of the radiation field during (or at the beginning and end of) air sample collection was not accomplished.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The field monitoring instructions call for field measurements to be made only prior to taking an air sample.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, I.9 EFFECT: The Dose Assessment Center may make protective action recommendations based on imperfect data coming from the field. Effective collection of an air sample must include the assurance that the equipment actually sampled the plume from beginning to end of the sampling period. If the plume passes or diminishes (or increases) in strength during the sampling period, plume strength can be significantly under- or over-estimated.

Because protective action recommendations are formulated on the basis of field air sampling results, impact on the public may be potentially significant.

RECOMMENDATION: Change field procedures to include a procedure requirement to monitor ambient radiation conditions during, or immediately before and after, collection of air samples and train team members in the purpose and application of the requirement. This would indicate whether or not the plume had passed during the time of air sampling activities.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN: This issue has been resolved - the Health Department has revised its procedures to include instructions to leave the RO-20 meter turned on throughout the air sampling process. The field teams will be trained in these revised procedures. These actions were confirmed in writing on September 30, 2004 by the County Department of Emergency Services and in a meeting on October 20, 2004 with the State and County. The revised procedures will be demonstrated in the next evaluated drill or exercise.

c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE Issue No.: 32-04-3.a.1-A-11 CONDITION: Bus Drivers and Dispatchers from Super Trans and TFD had very little knowledge on dosimetry instructions, procedures and equipment for emergency workers.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Lack of training.

REFERENCE:

E.7, J.9, 10.c.d.e.g EFFECT: Inability of emergency workers to properly protect themselves from exposure to radiation.

RECOMMENDATION: More training is required on the Countys dosimetry procedures and use of equipment for emergency worker protection.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The proper use and care of dosimetry was explained to the drivers and dispatchers after the interviews were completed. The drivers and dispatchers then demonstrated their understanding of the proper use and care of dosimetry. In addition, this issue did not arise in the interviews with the other bus companies.

APPENDIX 3. EXERCISE OBJECTIVES & EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise evaluation area criteria that were scheduled for demonstration in the Indian Point Energy Center exercise on June 8, 2004 and the extent of play agreement approved by FEMA Region II.

The exercise evaluation area criteria, contained in the FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology, 66 FR 47525, September 12, 2001, 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 evaluation area criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent of play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the evaluation area criteria.

FINAL OFFSITE EXTENT-OF-PLAY FOR THE JUNE 8, 2004 INDIAN POINT ENERGY CENTER - UNIT 3 FULL-PARTICIPATION EXERCISE EXTENT-OF-PLAY GROUND RULES REAL LIFE EMERGENCIES TAKE PRIORITY OVER EXERCISE PLAY.

The Scenario Development Team will develop the free play messages. The State Controller will inject the message to the County Emergency Management Director or his designee for action. A control cell will inject free play messages via telephone to the lead law enforcement agency in each Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to test the procedures for removal of traffic impediments.

The Scenario Development Team will develop free play messages for Public Inquiry at the JNC. Public Inquiry messages will be injected at the JNC by a control cell.

The State Controller will inject radiological data for any radiological field activities (e.g., Field Teams, Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Centers, Reception Centers, etc.).

According to REP Program Strategic Review Initiative 1.5, During tabletop exercises, drills and other demonstrations conducted out-of-sequence from an integrated exercise, if FEMA and the offsite response organizations (ORO) agree, the FEMA Evaluator may have the participants re-demonstrate an activity that is determined to be not satisfactorily demonstrated. Immediate correction of issues in an integrated exercise is authorized only if it would not be disruptive and interrupt the flow of the exercise and affect other Evaluation Areas. This initiative is not applicable to EOC/JNC/EOF demonstrations during the June 8, 2004 exercise.

The following criteria, which deal with ingestion pathway, relocation, re-entry and return, post-plume phase and lab operations, will not be demonstrated:

2.d.1 2.e.1 3.e.1 3.e.2 3.f.1 4.b.1 4.c.1 Additionally, criterion 5.a.2 for the activation of the prompt alert and notification system will not be demonstrated.

Shift changes will not be demonstrated during this exercise.

EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.a - Mobilization Criterion 1.a.1: OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify, and mobilize emergency personnel and activate facilities in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654, A.4; D.3, 4; E.1, 2; H.4)

WARNING POINTS Extent-of-Play Agreement:

The latest quarterly revised call lists will be provided at the Federal/State evaluators briefing session the day before the exercise, if requested by FEMA. The lists will contain the business telephone numbers only.

Informational inject messages may be introduced at the Warning Points but will not be evaluated.

State liaisons will be pre-positioned in the area and will arrive at County EOCs 30 minutes after receiving notification to activate via pager or other means.

Licensee Technical Liaisons will be pre-positioned and will arrive at the State and county EOCs 30 minutes after receiving notification to activate via pager or other means.

EOF Extent-of-Play Agreement:

State liaisons will be pre-positioned in the area and will arrive at the EOF 30 minutes after receiving notification to activate via pager or other means.

JNC Extent-of-Play Agreement:

Orange County will utilize a videoconferencing link from the County EOC to the JNC. A member of the State JNC staff will act as liaison between the Orange County PIO at the County EOC and other agencies at the JNC.

State and Westchester, Rockland and Putnam County JNC staffs will be pre-positioned in the area. County JNC staffs will arrive at the JNC no sooner than 20 minutes after receiving notification to activate via pager or other means. State JNC Staff will be pre-positioned in the area and will arrive at the JNC no sooner than 30 minutes after receiving notification to activate via pager or other means.

EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.b - Facilities Criterion 1.b.1: Facilities are sufficient to support the emergency response. (NUREG-0654, H.3)

Extent-of-Play Agreement:

This criterion will not be evaluated since no new facility will be utilized and there have been no significant changes to existing facilities since the last evaluation in 2002.

EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.c - Direction and Control Criterion 1.c.1: Key personnel with leadership roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible. (NUREG-0654, A.1.d; A.2.a., b.)

Extent-of-Play Agreement:

The State Controller will inject free play messages to the County Emergency Management Director or designee for action.

A control cell will inject free play messages via telephone to the lead law enforcement agency in each county EOC to test the procedures for removal of traffic impediments.

EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.d - Communications Equipment Criterion 1.d.1: At least two communication systems are available, at least one operates properly, and communication links are established and maintained with appropriate locations.

Communications capabilities are managed in support of emergency operations. (NUREG-0654, F.1, 2).

Extent-of-Play Agreement:

The use of RACES as a back up to commercial telephones or radios will be demonstrated between the State and four Risk County EOCs only.

EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.e - Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations Criterion 1.e.1: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. (NUREG-0654, H.7, 10; J.10.a, b, e, J.11; K.3.a)

Extent-of-Play Agreement:

Maps and displays will vary with each facility and may include printouts and listings.

The instruments that are used for field monitoring are the RO-20 or RO-2A (Gamma and Beta-mR/hr or R/hr) or equivalent and RM-14 (Gamma and Beta - CPM) or equivalent.

Field team equipment is calibrated by IPECs RP Department. An internal IPEC requirement provides for calibration of this equipment every six months. Therefore, the calibration sticker for this equipment shows a calibration due date which reflects the six month calibration schedule.

The instruments are considered calibrated as long as the current date is within one year of the calibration date.

No equipment (e.g., barriers, traffic cones, signs, etc.) will be deployed to the field, except as specified in this Extent-of-Play Agreement (See criterion 3.d.2)

EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING Sub-element 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control Criterion 2.a.1: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to insure 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. (NUREG-0654, J.10.e, f; K.4)

Extent-of-Play Agreement:

All activities will be based on the OROs' plans and procedures as they would in an actual emergency.

EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING Sub-element 2.b. Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency 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. (NUREG-0654, I.8, 10 and Supplement 3).

APPENDIX 4. 2004 INDIAN POINT ENERGY CENTER EXERCISE SCENARIO This appendix contains a summary of the simulated sequence of events used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by OROs during the Indian Point Energy Center Exercise on June 8, 2004.

Note: All times are approximate.

Message Time Event Number An advisory (Message FED #0, Advisory #1) was issued by NRC Incident Assessment Team (IAT) and concerns a DHS, FBI, and May 30 FED#0 Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC) advisory of possible terrorist threats. (Delivered with initial conditions package on June 7, 04).

An advisory (Message FED #0, Advisory #2) was issued by NRC IAT and concerns a DHS, FBI, and Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC) advisory of possible terrorist threats and a raised June 7 FED#0 security awareness. NRC notes that no specific credible threats against nuclear plants have been observed. (Delivered with initial conditions package on June 7, 04).

Four individuals leave Canadian Airport bound for Connecticut International Airport. Upon arrival at the airport at 12:10 am, they rent two cars on the same credit card. Two begin driving south toward NY and the other two begin driving north toward the Boston area. The Massachusetts bound car crashes into another car on I - 91 near exit 48 (Thompsonville, north of Hartford) at 11pm, day Storyline 1:30am. When State Police investigate the wreck, they find two before exercise only injured men, the rental contract (showing rental of two cars), and plant information for Indian Point and Pilgrim. The information includes plant drawings, maps of the areas around the plants, and a lot of generally accessible information from the Internet. The men provide no information. State police begin calls through their investigation bureau and eventually call the FBI at about 4:00am.

Message Time Event Number Initial Condition for IPEC Exercise Players The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Unit No. 3 has been operating at 100%power for 150 Effective Full Power Days. Plant Operations personnel are completing shift turnover and the following occurrences have been noted:

y 32 Diesel Generator is disassembled and OOS for PM.

ETA = 1800 hrs y Gas Turbine - GT-1 is out of service. Turbine blades out at vendor being re-machined. Not due back until 9/26/04.

IPEC y 33 AFW pump is out of service due to a surveillance 0700

001 failure. ETA =1200 hrs y Primary Met Tower is OOS due to the lightning strike during the 6/2/04 rainstorm. The back-up met tower is providing met data to required locations.

Pressure Relief in progress Wind Speed - 3.2m/s Wind Direction - 30 degrees Pasquill - C In addition, provide the NRC advisories.

FBI and DHS review the recovered information, and after subsequent investigation, determine that a credible threat exists.

The FBI contacts the NRC. The NRC Headquarters Operations FED#1 0745 Office (HOO) receives the call, and notifies the IAT. Following FED#2 conference calls between NRCHQ and Region 1, and based on the information provided by FBI, it is decided to contact the two plants to alert them that a credible threat exists for their plants.

FED#3A IPEC and Pilgrim are alerted to the credible threat based on the 0800 recovered information and other intelligence, which indicates that some potential attack on a nuclear plant may occur.

IPEC

002 IPEC IPEC U3 Simulated Control Room (SCR) calls Security to notify 0805

004 them of the credible threat notification.

IPEC

005 Message Time Event Number IPEC U3 SCR declares an NUE based on EAL 8.1.1, Bomb device or other indication of attempted sabotage discovered within plant PA OR Notification of any credible site specific security threat by the Security Shift Supervisor or outside agency (NRC, military or law enforcement). Shift Manager decides to activate IPEC Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) and notifies the Emergency Response Organization. Non-essentials will be instructed to leave the site. Security notifies the National Guard of the threat and makes any other necessary IPEC 0815 notifications.

003 Pilgrim also declares an NUE. Both plants notify the NRC that an NUE has been declared. Both units initiate additional preparatory actions in accordance with each sites Security Safeguards Plans and Emergency Plans. Neither plant initiates a plant shutdown at this time.

Security will initiate response in accordance with the Integrated Response Plan, ONOP-SEC-1 and their contingency procedures.

Offsite agencies are notified by the plants of the NUE declaration.

Two individuals, originally traveling south to NY, arrive at Upstate Airport and secure Air Power flight uniforms, with identification cards, which facilitates their access to the cargo aircraft flight line, and subsequently to the fully loaded 767-Storyline 300 cargo aircraft as the primary flight crew for Seattle bound 0830 only Flight 13.

NOTE: The elements in this portion of the scenario were crafted to help facilitate exercise play. They purposely exclude Transportation Security Administration measures designed to counter efforts by criminals to gain access to, and or hijack an aircraft.

Storyline As scheduled, the aircraft taxis to the runway and is given 0848 only permission to take off.

Message Time Event Number FAA Tower at Upstate Airport records wheels up for Flight 13, and an acknowledgment by the pilot as to flight plan and assigned Storyline altitude; but observes the plane begin to deviate from flight plan, 0850 only by turning South and observes aircraft is slow to gain altitude, as confirmed by FAA readout. Multiple transmissions from both Upstate Airport and Regional FAA controllers go unanswered.

FAA contacts NORAD to report situation and request assistance.

NOTE: A significant portion of the NORAD methods and means relating to their mission involve sensitive and/or classified Storyline 0852 information, which is not appropriate to share in this forum. To only best facilitate exercise play using an aircraft as the initiating event, NORAD aircraft do not intercept the suspect aircraft.

There should be no conclusions drawn relating to NORAD capabilities, using this unclassified exercise as a basis.

NORAD commences the scrambling and vectoring of aircraft, Storyline 0853 while simultaneously initiating multiple internal and external only communication efforts.

0855 Offsite State and County EOCs may establish skeleton crews.

NORAD communicates with NRC and licensee, providing eah 0900 FED#4 with current flight path and status of efforts to intercept aircraft.

Following receipt of NORAD/NRC call, the Unit 2 and Unit 3 IPEC 0902 shift personnel will notify security. Security will subsequently

006A declare an onsite Security Code Red.

The shift manager makes a PA announcement to plant personnel IPEC 0905 to seek shelter immediately. The Operation crews at U2 & U3

007A should trip both units.

Message Time Event Number IPEC Onsite Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) should be manned.

A security officer posted at the SW protected area boundary fence observes a large, low flying jet approaching from the north.

He/she follows established protocol and promptly alerts CAS of IPEC 0910 the observation. CAS promptly notifies the IPEC U3 SCR. The

006 U3 SCR notifies the EOF regarding the call from Security.

Security notifies the National Guard and the other law enforcement agencies The officer watches the plane proceed down river just past the site, then slowly turns, heading toward the site.

The officer continues to report observations. Some reports of sighting the plane over the river will also be received offsite.
