1. Executive Summary On March 30, 2008, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the LaSalle County Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V. 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 DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on November 15, 2006. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on December 4, 1980.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Illinois and the Counties of Grundy and LaSalle 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. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants was evident during this exercise.

This Final Rekport contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise, and the following activities that were conducted out-of-sequence on April 28, 29 and 30, 2008: State of Illinois: Illinois State Police (ISP) Dosimetry Control Officer (DCO) Briefing and Traffic and Access Control Point (-TACP) were demonstrated at the ISP District 17 Headquarters. Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers (EW) and EW Equipment, Public. Registration and Congregate Care Center were demonstrated at the Illinois Valley Community College.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351, and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)

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

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 governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees.

DHS/FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

• Taking the lead in off-site emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

- Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;

• Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and 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 Agriculture;

- U.S. Department of Commerce;

- U.S. Department of Energy;

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

- U.S. Department of the Interior;

- U.S. Department of Transportation; 3

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration and

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the LaSalle County Station to FEMA Region V Office by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 31, 1981. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted to the State of Illinois on June 4, 1982, under'44 CFR 350.

A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on April 30, 2008, by DHS/FEMA Region V to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the LaSalle County 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 evaluation team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.

The criteria utilized in the FEMAý 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;

- FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991 and

• FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice" as published in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the April 30, 2008, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the LaSalle County Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone, 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.

3.1. EPZ Description The LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, is located on a 3,060-acre site in Brookfield Township, four miles west of the LaSalle and Grundy Counties line. It is.located in the northeastern portion of Illinois, approximately seven miles south-southeast of the community of Marseilles, four and one-half miles south of the Illinois River, which runs east-west through LaSalle County and six miles southwest of the community of Seneca.

The 10-mile plume extends outward in all directions from the LaSalle County Station and impacts portions of LaSalle and Grundy Counties. This EPZ includes the municipalities of Grand Ridge, Marseilles, Ransom and Seneca in LaSalle County, and Kinsman and Verona in Grundy County.

The population distribution in this 10-mile EPZ is relatively low. Following is a list of the six largest communities in the area and their respective year 2000 population figures:

Grand Ridge (546), Kinsman (109), Marseilles (4,655), Ransom (409), Seneca (2,053) and Verona (257). The year 2000 total population for these communities was 8,029 persons. The 10-mile EPZ is divided into 13 sub-areas. Following is a list of the sub-

.areas with their associated year 2000 permanent resident population: sub-area 1 (936),

sub-area 2 (70), sub-area 3 (665), sub-area 4 (3,225), sub-area 5 (568), sub-area 6 (150), sub-area 7 (725), -sub-area 8 (1,000), sub-area 9 (269), sub-area 10 (7,250), sub-area 11 (4,900)., sub-area 13 (638) and sub-area 17 (314).

Primary land use around the LaSalle County Station is agricultural, with crops of corn and soybean. The closest industries are located in the communities of Marseilles and Seneca.

Recreational facilities outside the municipalities include a 60-acre park with camping 6

facilities on the southwest shore of the 2,058-acre cooling lake for the LaSalle County I Station. The cooling lake, which occupies over two thirds of the 3,.060 acre station site, has recreational boating and fishing. Seneca area marinas have facilities for.over400 boats on the Illinois River, and are just over four miles north-northeast of the LaSalle County Station. Five and one-half miles north-northwest of the Station is the 510-acre 3 Illini State Park with camping, boating, picnicking and fishing.

Major transportation facilities in the LaSalle County Station EPZ are limited to Interstate I 80, nine miles north of the Station and the Illinois Waterway, four and one-half miles

.north of the LaSalle County Station. Marseilles Lock and Dam, at river mile 244.5, is 3 seven miles northwest. Five rail lines also run through the LaSalle County Station EPZ.

Their location in the EPZ is described in relationship to the LaSalle County Station as 3 follows: The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company has two rail lines, a spur line into the Station from Ransom and the other line six miles from the Station running northeast to southwest; the CSX Transportation, Inc. line is five miles north, the Illinois Rail Net line is nine miles west, and the Norfolk Southern line is ten miles to the south just outside of the EPZ. 3 3.2.

- Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.

- Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs was assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

- Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) they were not demonstrated.

• Prior Issues - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

- Prior Issues - 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.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that maybe discussed in this report.

• A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that 16

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 3 impact public health and safety."

DHS/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 DHS/FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within 3 each Region, It also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis. 3 The identifying number of 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 3 Code.

"Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.

"Criterion Number- An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria I numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice, Vol.

67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological I Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.

- Issue Classification Identifier- (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Plan Issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the Regional Director. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.

• Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise. 3 1

ISSUE NO.: 13-07-2a1-A-02 ISSUE: This ISSUE NO.: 13-07-2a1-A-02, was transfered to the REAC per the plans.

OROs use a decision-making process 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 admin or PAGs.

The Incident Commander in the UAC failed to contact the IEMA Radiological Advisors in the Counties to inform them that the exposure limits were reduced by a factor of 10.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Through a change in the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents, the State EOC has changed the process for notifying affected organizations of a reduction in the dose reporting limit.

When REAC makes a recommend to reduce the dose reporting limit, the recomendation is sent to the State EOC Manager via an electronic NARS form on the State EOC Groove network.. The State EOC Manager sends out the reduction information as a NARS message.

During the exercise the Health Physics Specialist recommended to the REAC Manager that the dose reporting limit should be reduced from 3R to 1R. At 1133 hours0.0131 days <br />0.315 hours <br />0.00187 weeks <br />4.311065e-4 months <br />, the REAC Manager issued a PAR to the State EOC Manager recommending that the dosimetry reporting limit for emergency workers be reduced from 3R to 1R. This information was transmitted to everyone as a NARS message. At 1206 hours0.014 days <br />0.335 hours <br />0.00199 weeks <br />4.58883e-4 months <br />, the REAC NARS Specialist received a NARS message that indicated the reduced dosimetry reporting limit. This action confirmed that the information had been sent.

ISSUE NO.: 34-08-3a1-A-01 ISSUE: OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers lAW plans and procedures.

Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read and record dosimeter reading. (NUREG-0654, K.3)

CONDITION: The DCO's briefing was considered incomplete because a number of important items pertaining'to dosimetry and KI were omitted.

These items included the radiation exposure limit of 3 R, the purpose of the Radiation Exposure Record, recording the DRD readings on the person's Radiation Exposure Record, as well as the exposure/dose limits, what activities would warrant receiving those doses, and who would authorize such activities and doses. Additionally, important KI considerations were not presented. They included taking KI when ordered, who authorizes taking KI, the frequency of taking KI, and recording the taking of KI on the person's Radiation Exposure Record.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The DCO was recently appointed and was giving his first dosimetry and KI briefing. Although information conerning what topics should be discussed during the briefing was available to him, the DCO chose not to 28

use them during his briefing.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 element K.3.a, 3.b I EFFECT: Briefings that omit or underemphasize any or all items above could 3 result in the emergency worker being unaware of incurring excessive and perhaps dangerous amounts of radiation, receiving inappropriate or insufficient medical treatment, and keeping the worker from knowing and exercising his or her options before accepting high-risk mission.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: A re-demonstration, consisting of the dosimetry and KI briefing by the DCO and an interview with the busn driver regarding his understanding of his dosimetry and KI, was conducted on May 1, 2008, at the Superintendent's Office (SO) for the LaSalle County (LC) I Seneca School District (SSD) 160, located in the Seneca High School, 307 East Scott Street, Seneca, Illinois. 3 The re-demonstration began at 0930 hours0.0108 days <br />0.258 hours <br />0.00154 weeks <br />3.53865e-4 months <br />, and followed training given by officials from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Exelon Nuclear to the same DCO and bus driver players evaluated two days earlier.

I The DCO presented a through and understandable briefing to the bus driver.

The briefing started at 0940 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.5767e-4 months <br />. Items discussed included zeroing and reading the DRD; filling out the worker's Radiation Exposure Record; checking the DRD at least every 30 minutes; recording the initial and each subsequent DRD reading on the worker's Radiation Exposure Record; the m administrative reporting limit of 3 R; the stop and turn-back value of 10 R; proper use of the Luminescent Dosimeter (LD); returning the dosimetry to the 3 DCO at the end of the mission (unless otherwise directed); where to wear the DRD and LD; and the increased risks associated with missions in areas of high radiation to protect valuable property or large populations or to perform life-saving acts.

Additionally, the DCO enumerated the purpose of KI, that the taking of KI is voluntary, that KI may have side effects (especially to those allergic to 3 shellfish), to take KI only when instructed by the DCO, to take one 130 mg tablet per 24-hour period, to record each KI tablet taken on the worker's Radiation Exposure Record, and.to include all unused KI in the return of 29 3

dosimetry to the DCO at the end of the mission, or as otherwise directed.

The DCO briefed from a scriptduring this re-demonstration. The briefing was clear, concise and covered all pertinent aspects of the use of dosimetry and KI. It concluded at 0945 hours0.0109 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.595725e-4 months <br />.

A separate interview was conducted with the bus driver to assess his understanding of the use of his dosimetry and KI. The interview began at 0950 hours0.011 days <br />0.264 hours <br />0.00157 weeks <br />3.61475e-4 months <br />.

The bus driver was thoroughly versed in the use of dosimetry, to include knowing how and where to affix is DRD and LD; filling out his Radiation Exposure Record; how often to read his DRD (every 30 minutes); his administrative radiation exposure limit of 3 R; his stop and turn-back limit of 10 R; the maximum exposure readings for high risk activities such as protecting property or large populations and life-saving acts; that authorization for such activities would be passed from authorizing officials by the DCO; and that his dosimetry would be returned to the DCO; or as otherwise directed upon completion of the mission.

In discussing KI, the bus driver understood the purpose of KI, that taking KI was voluntary, that he had no known allergy or condition that would preclude his taking KI, that KI should be taken only when ordered to do so, the dosage and frequency for taking KI was one 130 mg tablet every 24-hour period, that each taking of KI must be recorded on the Radiation Exposure-Record---and, to include all unused KI when returning his dosimetry to the DCO, or as otherwise directed.

All aspects of emergency worker knowledge of dosimetry and KI were demonstration by the bus driver during this interview. The interview concluded at 0955 hours0.0111 days <br />0.265 hours <br />0.00158 weeks <br />3.633775e-4 months <br />.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERIA AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criteria, which were scheduled for demonstration in the LaSalle County Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on April 30, 2008, and the-off-site extent-of-play agreement approved by DHS/FEMA Region V on April 1, 2008.

The exercise criteria, contained in the FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice," as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol 67, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980.

Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by. the State and approved by DHS/FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria.

A. Exercise Criteria Listed below are the specific radiological emergency preparedness criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.

Coordination between LaSalle County agencies designated to provide traffic and access control will be exhibited in the County EOC. A Sheriffs deputy will be available during the exercise to demonstrate the staffing of one post. The post for the demonstration will be selected by LaSalle County during the exercise based on exercise play. The deputy will drive to the selected post location for the demonstration. The staffing of the remaining posts will be simulated.

A Marseilles Police Officer will demonstrate traffic and access control via an interview conducted on April 30, 3 p.m.

Criterion 3.d.2: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved.

54

The LaSalle County EOC staff will demonstrate the capability to identify and take appropriate actions concerning impediments to evacuation. A message will be injected by the Controller that will drive this demonstration. County personnel will deal with the impediment by identifying the equipment needed, discussing its estimated time of arrival, etc. Actual contacts with resource providers will be made and logged.

Criterion 3.e.1: The ORO demonstrates the availability and appropriate use of adequate information regarding water, food supplies, milk and agricultural production within the ingestion -exposure pathway emergency planning zone for implementation of protective actions.

This criterion does not apply to LaSalle County.

Criterion 3.e.2: Appropriate measures, strategies and pre-printed instructional material are developed for implementing protective action decisions for contaminated water, food products, milk and agricultural production.

This criterion does not apply to LaSalle County.

Criterion 3.f.1: Decisions regarding controlled re-entry of emergency. workers and relocation and return of the public are coordinated with appropriate organizations and implemented.

This criterion will not be demonstrated during this exercise.

EVALUATION AREA 4 - FIELD MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS This evaluation area does not apply to LaSalle County.

EVALUATION AREA 5 - EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION Criterion 5.a.1: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance.

LaSalle County will demonstrate the capability to provide both an alert signal and an initial instructional message to populated areas throughout the 10-mile plume pathway EPZ in a timely manner after their decision to activate the alert and notification system to implement protective action recommendations (PAR).

This capability will be demonstrated through the simulated activation of the LaSalle Station, EPZ Prompt Notification System as defined in IPRA-LaSalle.

55

I The Prompt Notification System (outdoor warning sirens) will not be activated*

during the exercise.

The ability to provide instructions to the public will be demonstrated through the n simulated activation of the local radio station. The local radio station (WCMY/WRKX) will be contacted during the first, and possibly the second, alert and notification sequence. An evaluator and a controller will be positioned at the radio station during the exercise to monitor the initial alert and notification sequence message. Ifthe initial message. does not contain a PAR, the evaluator and controller will stay at the radio station for a second message.

Coordination between LaSalle County and Grundy County will be demonstrated.

Criterion 5.a.2: [RESERVED]

Criterion 5.a.3: Activities associated with FEMA approved exception areas (where applicable) are completed within 45 minutes following the initial decision by authorized I

offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. Backup alert and notification of the public is completed within 45 minutes following the detection by

,the ORO of a failure of the primary alert and notification system.

I This criteria does not apply to LaSalle County. I Criterion 5.b.1: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. I LaSalle County will demonstrate this criterion by using pre-scripted messages as indicated in IPRA-LaSalle. Contact with the radio station will be simulated for each alert and notification sequence following the sequence issuing the initial PAR.

The ability to provide information to the media will be demonstrated by LaSalle County.through a briefing held at.the LaSalle County media briefing location: If real media are not present for the briefings, the controller and observers willI serve as mock media. Evaluators will not serve as mock media.

The ability to deal with rumors will be demonstrated by LaSalle County through coordination between the County EOC and the JIC. The LaSalle County EOC I

controller will inject exercise messages which will ensure the opportunity to demonstrate this criterion. County officials will investigate and address "rumors." I If appropriate, the "rumors" will be coordinated between State and County officials in the County EOC and the JIC.

County emergency broadcast messages and news releases, if issued, will be faxed to the JIC.

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO AND TIMELINE This appendix contains a summary of the simulated sequence of events -/Exercise Scenario - which was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations in the LaSalle County Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise that was conducted on April 30, 2008.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State.of Illinois and Exelon Nuclear and approved by DHS/FEMA Region V on April 1, 2008.

During the exercise, controllers from the State of Illinois gave "inject messages,"

containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who

.would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking response actions by OROs.

I NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

U NORMAL OPERATIONS I 0755- 0805 The Operating Crew will be briefed and assume control at approximately 0755. The exercise will start at 0800.

Alert I 0805 - 0930 At 0805, A fire in Bus 133 and structural damage to Rx Bldg wall will occur. Fire-typer will alarm for RB 786. I

• Bus 133 is on fire

• There is structural damage to the east wall on the 786' Elevation.

• After the Fire Brigade reports to the scene the fire can be put out Expected Actions The Shift Manager will declare an ALERT - HA6. Notifications will be performed in accordance with procedures utilizing NARS and ENS. The TSC, OSC, and EOF will be activated. I SITE AREA EMERGENCY 0935-1105 At 0935, a RMCS failure will occur with a CRD pump trip with Standby failing to start.

ATWS. I Expected Actions The Emergency Director is expected to classify a SITE AREA EMERGENCY based on Failure of RPS to complete a scram once a RPS setpoint Was exceeded and manual scram was not successful.

• Enters LOA-RM-101

• Dispatches EO and IMsupport to AEER for RMCS issues

• Follows LOR actions for 1A CRD Pump Trip

• Attempts start of 1B CRD Pump and finds it will not start

• Manually scrams the reactor. Discovers ATWS.

• Performs scram hard card actions (ARI and SBLC will not work)

• Stabilizes reactor pressure and lowers RWL lAW LGA-010

• Performs Method 4 of LGA-NB-01. Method 3 not available do to no CRD Pumps I

• Re-Scrams and all but 5 Rods insert. Some rods go in very slowly and tip paths are crossed leading to fuel failure.

• Attempts to insert IRM Range D per LOA-NR-101 which failed to insert.

59 I I

The Station should initiate an Assembly (simulated). Following completion of the Assembly / Accountability, the TSC may initiate a relocation of non-essential personnel (simulated).

GENERAL EMERGENCY 1105-1105 FG1 - Steam Break in the Tunnel. Previous Fuel failure will cause Drywell Radiation to build up slowly to the 190 Rlhr limit. The Steam Break is timed so that it will occur before the fuel barrier is lost.

• Loss of RCS-RC-4; Unisolable Steam Line Break and Report of Main Steam in Raceway

• Loss of Fuel-FC-5; Drywell Radiation above 190 Rlhr.

• Loss of Containment-CT-6.1; Failure of both automatic isolation valves in one line to close and downstream path to the environment exists. (6.3 will be reached later due to steam tunnel temps greater than max safe.

(Expected Actions The Emergency Director is expected to classify a GENERAL EMERGENCY - FG-1 (Loss of Three Fission Product Barriers [loss of containment: CT.6.1; loss of RCS: RC.4 and loss of fuel clad: FC.5. Maximum PARs should be determined to be appropriate.

State and NRC notifications will be completed via NARS and ENS (simulated),

respectively. The operating crews will blowdown the RPV, and then restore the RPV level. The blowdown will be restricted by the number of operable SRVs available.

• Monitors Reactor level and pressure picks up rapid level increase with Containment parameters

• Control secondary containment by operation of ventilation systems

• Monitors Containment and MSL Radiation levels

• Directs actions per LGA-002

• Use alternate sources of injection

• Monitors release and prepares to enter LGA-009 if entry criteria is met Release: Yes - RCS to Main Steam to Main Steam Tunnel Room to Rx Building to SBGT to Atmosphere. Unfiltered due to SBGT filter Failed.
