APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE EVALUATION AREAS AND EXTENT OF PLAY AGREEMENT EVALUATION AREA 1: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Sub-element 1.a - Mobilization Criterion l.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.l, 2; H.4)
Locations: Disaster District 6A Wac0 (DD 6 A Waco), Department State Health Services Headquarters (DSHS HQ), Department State Health Services at Emergency Operations Facility (DSHS EOF), Joint Information Center (JIC), Hood County and Somervell County Emergency Operation Center (EOC)
Extent of Play: DSHS personnel will pre-stage at the DSHS staging area in Granbury.
The JIC is located in the Granbury City Hall at 116 West Bridge Street Granbury TX, 76048. A change to the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) was submitted to the NRC, and is defined in the letter dated July 13, 2007 signed by Fred Madden - Director Oversight and Regulatory Affairs requesting the EPZ to change to a 10 mile boundary. This EPZ change will locate the JIC outside the IO-mile EPZ. Four (4) DSHS Field Monitoring Teams (FMTs) will be deployed for training purposes. Only (2) FMTs will be evaluated by FEMA. All four DSHS FMTs will need Department of Public Safety (DPS) escorts.
Drill evaluators and controllers may be required to travel in separate vehicles due to space restrictions. Disaster District Committee personnel not stationed at DPS Wac0 may be pre-staged. To allow for maximum amount of play, DSHS JIC staff will pre-stage in the area. An extra dispatcher will be placed on duty at the Hood and Somervell County Sheriff's office to handle the regular workload. Refer to Attachment A for the alternative evaluation agreement reached on August 2 1, 2007 between the FEMA RAC Chair, GDEM, DSHS and CPSES.

ARCA: None EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING Sub-element 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control Criterion 2.a.l: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of K1, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. (NUREG-0654, J.lO.e, f; K.4) 80
Locations: DSHS EOF, Hood and Somervell County EOCs Extent of Play: If the scenario does not warrant a discussion on either the authorization to administer KI or emergency worker (EW) exposure exceeding administrative limits, then the criterion will be accomplished through an inject at the EOF. Decision making for KI and EW exposure level above administrative limits is done at the EOF and the local EOC. According to the State policy, KI is not considered for the general public.
ARCA: None Sub-element 2.b. Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergencv Criterion 2.b.l: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and O R 0 dose projections, as well as knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions.

ARCA: None 81
EVALUATION AREA 3: PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION Sub-element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control Criterion 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures.

Locations: Hood and Somervell County EOCs Extent of Play: A controller inject during the exercise will identify one (1) T/ACP location per county. The controller inject will not interfere with the T/ACP decision-making process. After the two (2) T/ACPs locations are identified they will be relocated to Squaw Creek Park. Both DSHS and the law enforcement officer will be co-located at Squaw Creek for the exercise. Both of the T/ACPs, one per county, will be evaluated.
