SUMMARY
On July 19, 2005 an exercise was conducted in the 10-mile Plume Exposure Pathway, emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Robert E.Ginna Nuclear Power Station by the State and local governments and evaluated by the State and local government with Federal participation and was evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region II. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.
On July 20-21, 2005, an exercise was conducted in the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ) around the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region II. The purpose of the Ingestion Pathway Exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency within the IPZ. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMA`s policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.
The most recent full-scale exercise at this site was conducted on March 4, 2003. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 21, 1982.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in New York State, Monroe County, Wayne County and the ingestion counties of Cayuga, Genesee, Livingston, Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Seneca, Wyoming, and Yates that 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. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

The State and local organizations except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies and nine Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified as a result of this exercise.
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 Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for 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 the RERP and associated procedures developed by State and local governments;
- Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;
- Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993);
and
- Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

- 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, and
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the FEMA Region II Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.
Formal submission of the RERPs for the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station to FEMA Region II by the State of New York, Monroe County and Wayne County occurred on June 17, 1985. Formal approval of the RERPs was granted by FEMA on August 19, 1986, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP exercise was conducted on July 19-21, 2005 by FEMA Region II 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 Robert E. Ginna 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 (hereafter referred to as NUREG-0654);

III. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the July 19-21, 2005 exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume and ingestion pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities, which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
A. Plume EPZ Description The Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station site is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario, in the township of Ontario, in the northwest corner of Wayne County, New York.
The surface of the land on the southern shore of Lake Ontario at the site and East and West of it is either flat or gently rolling. It slopes upward to the south from an elevation of about 225 feet above mean sea level near the edge of the lake; to 440 feet at Ridge Road (New York State Highway 104) 32 miles South of the lake; and then to about 1,600 feet at the northern edge of the Appalachian Plateau, 30 to 40 miles to the South.
Southward from Ridge Road, the terrain progressively roughens, with a series of small abrupt hills, commencing about 10 miles south of the site.
There are no public highways or railroads that traverse the site area.
Monroe County Monroe County is bordered by Orleans and Genesee Counties to the West, by Livingston and Ontario Counties to the South, by Wayne County to the East and by Lake Ontario to the North. There are many manufacturing activities centered in and around the city of Rochester. Approximately 22% of the County's 67 square miles is in urban development, about 28% is vacant, wooded or water surface and 50% is farmland. Of Monroe County's workers, 45% are employed in manufacturing, 20% in service industries, 16% in retail, 1.4% in agriculture and the remainder in other activities.
10
The population of Monroe County is dispersed among the City of Rochester, nineteen towns and ten villages. In terms of population size and growth, Monroe is number one in the 8-county Genesee/Finger Lakes Region.
Wayne County Ginna Station is located in the Town of Ontario (the northwest corner of Wayne County).
Wayne County is bordered by Monroe County to the west, by Ontario and Seneca Counties to the south, by Cayuga County to the east and Lake Ontario to the north.
Since its settlement in the 19th Century, Wayne County has been predominately rural in character. The northern portion of the county, especially the area between Ridge Road and Lake Ontario, is primarily orchards. Cherries, pears and apples are the chief crops produced. In the southeastern portion of the County highly productive muck lands can be found that produce, for the most part, corn, potatoes and onions. In the southwest, grains such as corn, oats and wheat are grown. Dairy farms are also located throughout the County. Roughly 70% of the county's 600 square miles is utilized for approximately 2,500 farms. About 34% of the County's workers are employed in manufacturing operations; 18% in service industries; 16% in retail trade; 19% in agriculture and 13% in other occupations.
The population is dispersed among fifteen towns and eleven villages. Many residents of the western portion of Wayne County (including the four EPZ towns) commute to jobs in Monroe County.

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 is a definition of the terms used in this subsection relative to objective demonstration status.
- Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
- Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies was assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
- Area Requiring Corrective Actions - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
- Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise criteria which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.
- Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises 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.
26
The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that are discussed in this report.
- A Deficiency is defined as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of 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 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 Criteria Number - An alphanumeric corresponding to the evaluation criterion in the FEMA Interim REP Program Manual (e.g., 1.a.1).
- Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.

- b. DEFICIENCY: NONE
- c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Issue No.: 27-05-3.e.1-A-01 CONDITION: The Wayne County USDA representative sent a message [by e-mail at 1604, Day 2, to the State Agriculture and Marketing representative in the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC)], that the State Dairy Farm database was not up-to-date.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The State Agencies computer database in the ECC is new and further coordination is needed to ensure that all information is current.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, J.9., 11.
EFFECT: The message listed one farm in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone that was not in business and an additional two farms that were in (milk) production.
The State Department of Agriculture and Markets and local US Department of Agriculture officials will each be coordinating with the Farmers, consequently the agencies must ensure that their databases are maintained current.
RECOMMENDATION: Each agency must establish a coordination method to ensure that the ECC database is current and up-to-date.
28
Issue No.: 27-05-5.b.1-A-02 CONDITION: News Release #8 made reference to a map that was not in accordance with the wording in the release. The release stated that Area A includes the town of Ontario and the town of Webster. However, the map shows that only a part of the town of Webster is in Area A.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The release and map were not compared for exactness prior to release.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E, 5, 7; G,3.a; G,4.a.b.c.
EFFECT: The difference in the release and map could cause confusion on the part of county personnel and the public. The public in 3/4 of the town would take actions that they should not be required to take.
RECOMMENDATION: When maps are issued as a part of news releases, assure that the two documents exactly match in all aspects.

- b. DEFICIENCY: NONE
- c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: THREE Issue No.: 27-05-5.b.1-A-03 CONDITION: The status boards in the Public Inquiry area and the utility/state/local media work area and the map where affected areas were posted in the media work area had inaccurate information regarding the protective action decision. The status board in the media work area did not list ERPA M-3 as evacuating. The status board in the PI room indicated that ERPA M3 was to shelter; whereas it was to be evacuated. The map in the media area used colored plastic overlays to identify evacuated and sheltered areas. However, ERPA M-3 was never correctly identified.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The individual(s) posting the status boards and map did not understand that the information to shelter ERPA M-3 was only a recommendation and that the final protective action decision was different. The posting to the status boards was the licensee PAR and not the final PAD.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E. 5.,7., G.3.a., G.4,a.,b.,c.
EFFECT: Individuals who called in for information would have been given inaccurate information. Likewise, this would be inconsistent with the EAS message and press releases that indicated that ERPA M-3 was to evacuate and would add confusion to anyone who called in after hearing the opposite on television or radio.
RECOMMENDATION: Review information carefully to ensure that accurate information is posted.
31
Issue No.: 27-05-5.b.1.-A-04 CONDITION: The Public Inquiry/media monitoring forms were not completed as required. Every form has a brief statement as to the inquiry but with the exception of two forms, there is no indication of what information, if any, was provided to the caller. In addition, the form used was not the form in the Ginna Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Work Plan, 2005, page IV-6.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Public Inquiry/media monitors did not complete the forms as required. Likewise, the supervisor did not check to see if the forms were completed as required. The staff was not overwhelmed by many calls as there were 12 public inquiry staff that were receiving phone calls made by three people for a total of 54 calls.
REFERENCE:
(NUREG-0654, E. 5.,7., G.3.a., G.4,a.,b.,c.) Ginna Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Work Plan, 2005, pages IV-2; IV-3, IV-4, IV-6.
EFFECT: If there was a question or challenge to what was provided to the public and/or media there is no record. The use of different forms could have added to the confusion in not completing the forms. Likewise, the supervisor has responsibility to review the forms and this was not done.
RECOMMENDATION: Review information carefully to ensure that the accurate information is posted. Follow established procedure for review and tracking.
Issue No.: 27-05-5.b.1-A.05 CONDITION: Media monitoring reports containing inaccurate and/or false information were not reported to the State or County Spokespersons or respective PIOs. There were six reports from Media Monitoring (controller injects) that contained false or inaccurate information.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Public Inquiry Supervisor did not follow procedures as set out in the Ginna Joint News Center Procedure 2005.
32
When, media monitoring identifies false or misleading information being released that should immediately be taken by the PI Supervisor to the PIOs for verification and to the bullpen sessions for inclusion in the next media briefing. In addition, state and local spokespersons should be made aware of media glitches and ensure they are addressed in the next media briefing.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E. 5, 7; G.3.a., G.4.c. Ginna Joint News Center Procedures and Public Education Work Plan, 2005, pages IV-2; IV-3, IV-4, IV-6.
EFFECT: Refutation of misinformation and other false information not included in the State, local, and utility statements in media briefings can create panic, confusion, and distrust of those who are attempting to provide accurate and consistent information.
RECOMMENDATION: Review procedures for media monitoring issues. Provide additional training to all personnel at the JNC on the need to provide the PI function with any and all inaccurate information being disseminated.

- c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Issue No.: 27-05-4.a.1-A-06 CONDITION: The Radeco H809C air sampler was set up with two particulate filters in front of the silver zeolite cartridge. This is not in accordance with the Monroe County Radiological Emergency Plan, Procedure K, Attachment 4A.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Procedure K, Attachment 4A, figure 4 indicates the air sampler should have one particulate filter. The field team was asked why two filters were used. The team leader indicated that they had determined the rotometer (flow meter) on the air sampler would go above the highest rotometer indication (30 liters per minute) if only one filter was used.
38
The air sampler was then tested with one filter; the flow rate indicated approximately 34 liters/minute (the estimation is based on scale indicated on the rotometer). When two filters were placed in line, the flow rate measured approximately 15 liters/minute. The field teams had determined that placing two filters in line would enable them to accurately measure the flow rate without compromising the effectiveness of the sample. Their training did not include instruction to use two filters and their procedure (Attachment 4A, figure 4) did not specify two filters.
The Radeco H809C is capable of drawing 28.3 - 56.6 liters/minute (1-2 cubic feet per minute- cfm) with one filter/silver zeolite cartridge. With two particulate filters, the flow rate was reduced to approximately 14.16 liters/minute (.5 cfm). The additional load on the air sampler results in extending the time required to obtain a 283.17 liter/minute sample (the minimum sample volume). During the exercise, a 20-minute sample time was required.
REFERENCE:
Monroe County Radiological Emergency Response Plan Procedure K, Attachment 4A.
EFFECT: If the field monitoring team were working in an area with a high radiation exposure rate, they would receive additional avoidable exposure by utilizing the two filter method of sampling.
RECOMMENDATION: The Radeco H809-C air sampler rotometer should be rescaled so it can be used to measure flow with one particulate filter. With one filter in place the sample time can be reduced to less than ten minutes, and may result in a significant reduction in radiation exposure for the field team.
39
Issue No.: 27-05-4.a.1-A-07 CONDITION: The Eberline E-140 Geiger-Muller detector was not source checked in accordance with the Monroe County Radiological Emergency Plan, Procedure K, Attachment 4A.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Eberline E-140 was source checked using a Cs-137 test jig. The individual performing the source check held the detector at an unspecified distance from the source and verified that the instrument responded to the source. This method is not in accordance with the instructions in Attachment 4A. The source check jig included an instruction sheet for source checking the RO-20. Instructions for source checking the E-140N were imbedded in section B, Actions for the Field Survey Team section of the procedure; they were not Section C, Operational Checks for Radiological Instruments, where other instrument operational check instructions are located. The procedure layout, and the lack of instruction on the instruction sheet located inside the source check jig, may have been contributing factors to the oversight. The procedure should be modified to include instructions for source checking the E-140N in the section with other instrument operability checks.
REFERENCE:
Monroe County Radiological Emergency Response Procedure K, Attachment 4A, Sections B and C EFFECT: If the radiation survey meter response is not verified to be accurate (prior to use), it could unknowingly over or under respond to a radiation field. Particulate and iodine air samples are counted using this instrument. An inaccurate instrument response could result in inaccurate sample results. Those results may be used to confirm dose projections and make protective action recommendations.
RECOMMENDATION: Redemonstrate using correct procedure.
REDEMONSTRATION: The controller stopped the player and indicated that the team should review their procedure, and then re-demonstrate the 40
instrument source check. After reviewing appropriate procedure steps, the team successfully tested instrument response by holding the detector six inches away form the source. The meter correctly responded at approximately 20,000 counts per minute, as indicated in the procedure. This issue was resolved.

- b. DEFICIENCY: NONE
- c. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: TWO Issue No.: 27-05-1.e.1-A-08 CONDITION: EOC displays in Operations Room not kept up to date with current information.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: No one was delegated the responsibility to make sure the displays were kept current.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654 EFFECT: Personnel in the EOC Operations Room could give out old or incorrect data from these boards, or take inappropriate actions because of the lack of up-to-date information.
RECOMMENDATION: Have one person dedicated to the displays that need to have information placed on them. Also, in the Incident Command System this is a function of a Situation Unit, therefore it may be beneficial to create a Situation Unit and have a Situation Unit leader that will be accountable for keeping all displays kept up to date.
45
Issue No.: 27-05-1.e.1-A-09 CONDITION: The Operations Room had one window-mounted air conditioning unit that was not powerful enough to keep the room at a comfortable temperature on a hot day, during activation. It was also noted that in the break room when the air conditioner and the coffee pots were on the same circuit, the circuit could not handle the power and kept tripping.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Wayne County Operations Room air conditioner is not rated for a room that would have over 20 people in it, nor is the electrical system designed to handle the large amount of power that these pieces of equipment are drawing.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654 EFFECT: Personnel were not comfortable and the situation was unsuitable for long-term operations.
RECOMMENDATION: The County should consider replacing the Operations Room air conditioner unit with a stronger unit that is over rated for the size of that room and mounting it into the wall since the window will not support a unit that size. The County should also consider creating separate electrical lines for the powerful appliances that draw a lot of electricity, i.e. the air conditioners.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERION AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criterion and the extent-of-play agreement, which were scheduled for demonstration in the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station exercise on July 19, 2005.
The exercise evaluation criteria, contained in the FEMA Interim REP Program Manual, August 2002, represent the application of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980 to an emergency response exercise.
Because the exercise evaluation criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of 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 criterion.
