2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA activities are conducted pursuant to Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351, and 352.

These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

The FEMA Title 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/FEMA 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 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 Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

- 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, 4

- 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 DHS/FEMA Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Beaver Valley Power Station to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Ohio and involved local jurisdictions occurred on January 23, 1986. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on June 15, 1987, under 44 CFR 350.

A Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway REP Exercise was conducted on June 24, 2008, by DHS/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 involving the Beaver Valley 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 Evaluation Team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairman, and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.

The criteria utilized in the DHS/FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

- NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980;

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

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

4.2. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. Presented below are the definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.

- Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.

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

- Areas Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that 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(s) 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.

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 in- adequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely 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 Region V and site-specific exercise reports within each region. It also expedites tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).

- 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.

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

67, No. 80, April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA- REP 14, Radiological 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 letter from the RAC Chairman. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.

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

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-5b1-A-01 ISSUE: Press Releases 6, 7, 8 and 9 contained inaccurate and/or conflicting or incomplete information for dissemination to the public. Press Release 6 contained inaccurate information on the time of the GE ECL declaration; advice to the public for evacuation transportation pickup sites for sub-areas 2 and 3 that were instructed to shelter-in-place; EAS broadcast stations were not identified; and the EAS Message-D (for KI only), was issued. Press Release 8 contained inaccurate information. Sub-areas 2, 3, and 4 were under a recommendation to shelter-in-place and instructed to take KI. Press Release 9 contained inaccurate information regarding a designated evacuation route with an impending impediment.

REASON UNRESOLVED: During the 2008 exercise, press releases provided to the JIC from Columbiana County continuLed to provide confusing and inconsistent information to the public. For example: Press Release 08 included instructions regarding KI that were in conflict with those provided in the first Protective Action Recommendation (PAR). The first PAR directed the evacuation of Sub-area 1 and the ingestion of KI by the public, emergency workers and immobile populations, and residents in Sub-areas 2, 20

3 and 4 were directed to shelter in place. But according to Press Release 08, residents in Sub-areas 2, 3 and 4 were directed to shelter in place and take KI. The ingestion of KI was not included in the first PAR.

Press Release 08 included conflicting and confusing instructions to the public regarding sheltering in place in Sub-areas 2, 3 and 4. The instructional block in the middle of attached EAS Message - C (SHELTERING REQUIRED SUB AREA 2,3,4) mixes instructions for evacuees with those for persons sheltering in place.

In Press Release 07, directions given to reception centers are inconsistent with those provided in "The User-Friendly Phone Book" (page 24) and the "Columbiana County EMA and LEPC 2008 Calendar" (which contains the same information as The User Friendly Phone Book).

In Press Release 07, evacuees in Sub-areas 2 and 3 were instructed to shelter in place and at the same time to report to designated Pickup Points to be transported to the Reception Centers.

NEW SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: To address Press Release

08. As part of our previous corrective action plan we believe that attaching a copy of the appropriate EAS message would provide clarification of intended instructions. This was not the case. In the future to avoid duplication of errors of this nature, Columbiana County will not attach copies of the EAS messages with outgoing Supplemental News Bulletins. Furthermore, to avoid potential confusion of the part of the general with emergency information, one news bulletin will be issued covering all instructions (e.g.

Evacuation of Sub Area #1, Shelter Sub Area 2, 3 and 4) that are consistent with the Protective Action Decision (PAD) issued by the County.

Regarding Press Release 07, inconsistent direction will be changed within all appropriate parts of the plan and corresponding Standard Operating Guidance to reflect directions listed within the User Friendly Phone Book.

The instruction to report to the Pickup Points was a clerical error that should not have been part of the message sent. We believe papers were inadvertently shuffled between messages when corrections were made to the evacuation message. One singular message will correct these types of errors in the future.

ISSUE NO.: 03-06-6al-A-04 ISSUE: Staff members of the Negley Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) and the West Point Fire Department (FD) using CD V-700 RP survey meters did not adequately conduct operability tests and employ the survey meter to effectively identify the location and magnitude of radioactive material contamination. A Negley VFD staff member moved the probe to fast (in excess of the recommended six-inches per second rate of speed) while monitoring an emergency worker.

A West Point FD staff member did not correctly test the survey meter with a check source before monitoring for vehicle contamination. Another West Point FD staff member monitored a contaminated evacuee using the CD V-700 RP survey meter while the meter had been left in xl 0 scale after the source check instead of being re-set to the xl scale, and consequently did not identify the correct magnitude of the evacuee's contamination. The same individual also failed to monitor the evacuee's backside. While each individual situation was remedied and successfully re-demonstrated, the three 23

situations together indicate an overall weakness in the use of the survey meters.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Negley Volunteer Fire Department re-demonstrated this criterion on Monday night, July 23, 2008.

The West Point Fire Department re-demonstrated this criterion on Wednesday night, July 25, 2008.

Six CD V-700/RP survey instruments were checked for operability using the check source attached to the instrument's case. Operability checks were correctly performed following procedures in Attachment 3 ("Radiological Monitoring Equipment Check"). Although two of the CD V -700/RP survey instruments failed to respond within the range specified on the attached sticker, several backup instruments were available and passed operability checks. The failed instruments were not placed in service. This demonstration of performing operability checks corrected the first component of prior Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) Number 03-06-6.a.1-A-04.

The monitor followed the monitoring technique described in Attachment 4

("Surveying and Decontamination Procedures - Reception Center") holding the probe one inch from the surface and moving the probe over the surface at six inches per second using the times one (xl) scale. Teammates provided corrective suggestions, such as slowing-up or holding the probe closer if they thought the monitor was proceeding too fast or was holding the instrument too far from the surface being monitored. The monitor knew that when contamination was identified, and the meter pegged, the scale should be switched to the times ten (xl0) scale while surveying the affected area and then returned to the times one (xl) scale when the rate on the meter dropped. This demonstration of using the proper rate and distance for monitoring corrected the second component of prior ARCA Number 03 6.a. 1-A-04.

ISSUE NO.: 03-08-3a1-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 27

record dosimeter reading. (NUREG-0654, K.3)

CONDITION: West Point Volunteer Fire Department Workers were not briefed on why KI is needed, and they were not instructed to read the KI information sheet that was issued to them in their Dosimeter Packets. Use of the Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) issued to the workers was not explained; workers were only told to wear the TLD on the front of the body facing forward. There was no mention of the need for obtaining authorization for exceeding exposure limits and receiving higher exposures.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Although the briefing covered all of the topics in the 7 briefing guide, the presentation was very brief and mistakenly assumed that workers adequately understood the content of the briefing.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 K.3.a,3.b EFFECT: Workers did not understand the need for or the consequences of taking KI. Workers did not understand what DRDs and TLDs were for nor the need for and potential consequences of higher dose authorization.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED.: This issue was successfully re-demonstrated by the West Point Fire Department at the Beaver Local School Complex on June 25, 2008, following the initial demonstration.

At approximately 2115 hours0.0245 days <br />0.588 hours <br />0.0035 weeks <br />8.047575e-4 months <br />, the exercise Controllers assembled the West Point Volunteer Fire Department personnel inside the Beaver Local School Complex and conducted a re-training session on dosimetry. The training was done informally, with opportunity for the persons being briefed to ask questions (which did not occur during the initial briefing). Following the retraining session the DCO performed another Emergency Worker briefing.

This second briefing adequately covered the necessary information, including: why KI is needed; instructions to read the KI information sheet that was issued to them in their Dosimeter Packets; explanation of why TLDs are issued to the workers; and discussion of the need for obtaining authorization for exceeding pre-authorized exposure limits. Subsequent interview of the emergency workers who were briefed, including those assigned to emergency worker equipment and vehicle monitoring and decontamination, determined that they adequately understood the briefing.

CONDITION: Staff of the West Point Fire Department Vehicle Monitoring team did not adequately employ their CD V-700/RP survey instruments to effectively identify the location and magnitude of radioactive material contamination. Monitoring personnel did not move the pancake probes at a 29

consistent, sufficiently slow rate of speed to identify contamination. They also did not understand the instrumentation ranges/scales and had difficulty interpreting the readings. Two readings initially were incorrectly recorded.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The West Point Fire Department Vehicle Monitoring team did not retain sufficient knowledge regarding procedures for conducting a contamination survey using the CD V-700 RP survey instrument.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/REP-1,Section II.K.5.b and 11.O.4.c EFFECT: An accurate characterization of vehicle contamination may not be achieved. Emergency vehicles may be released while still being contaminated.

RECOMMENDATION: Conduct training of personnel, including the operational checking of CD V-700 RP survey instruments and hands-on familiarization with instrument scales.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Columbiana County will provide a more through approach to general knowledge and use of the CDV 700 RP survey instruments and vehicle monitoring procedures during future training sessions with all Fire Departments.

APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERIA AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criteria that were scheduled for demonstration in the Beaver Valley Power Station Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on June 24, 2008, and the off-site extent-of-play agreement approved by DHS/FENMA on June 18, 2008.

The exercise criteria, contained in FEMA, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology, as published.in the Federal Register Notice/Vol 67, No 80, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Criteria lor the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, November 1980.

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

A, Exercise Criteria and Extent-of-Play Listed below are the specific REP criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.

EVALUATION AREA 2 - PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING 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 KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides.

Extent of Play The State EOC Assessment Room staff will consider PAGs and Administrative Limits to develop recommendations, including KI, based on their technical evaluation of the available data. Recommendations will be forwarded to the State EOC Executive group and subsequently to the Columbiana County EOC. The County will disseminate recommendations to their emergency workers. Field monitoring data will be provided to the State EOC Assessment Room via controller injects.

Criterion 2.b.l: 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.

Extent of Play The State EOC Assessment Room will evaluate the licensee information and complete independent dose projections based on that information and simulated field-monitoring data. Assessment Room staff will evaluate the data and forward protective action recommendations to the EOC Executive Room. Approved recommendations will then be forwarded to the Columbiana County EOC via conference line established in the Assessment Room.

38

Criterion 2.b.2: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PADs) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy).

Extent of Play The Governor or his designee will demonstrate the ability to make appropriate protective action recommendations based on technical information from the EOC Assessment Room. Recommendations concerning the use of KI for the general public and emergency workers are the responsibility of the Ohio Department of Health. They are made in the SEOC Dose Assessment Room in accordance with the ODH KI policy and will accompany the protective action recommendation.

Coordination will take place in the SEOC Executive Room with the States of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and Columbiana County to ensure consideration of local needs. After the decision is made, the County will disseminate protective actions to the general public.

Ohio Protective Action Decisions are not necessarily the same as those for Pennsylvania or West Virginia.

At least two (2) Protective Action Decisions will be demonstrated.

Criterion 2.c.1: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups.

Extent of Play The recommendation to take KI is issued by the Ohio Department of Health in the SEOC Assessment Room and accompanies the PAR. Upon approval in the Executive Room, it is then forwarded to Columbiana County for implementation.

Criterion 2.d.1: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective action decisions are made based on the ORO planning criteria.

Extent of Play The State demonstrated this criterion at the June 2006 Beaver Valley exercise. It will be demonstrated again at the 2012.Perry exercise.

Criterion 2.e.: Timely re-location, re-entry and return decisions are made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the ORO's plan and/or procedures.

39

Extent of Play The State demonstrated this criterion at the June 2006 Beaver Valley exercise. It will be demonstrated again at the 2012 Perry exercise.

EVALUATION AREA 3 - PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION Criterion 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plan and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart.

Extent of Play The State FMTs, Communications Van and Sample Screening Point will not be demonstrated in this exercise. The State demonstrated this criterion at the May 2007 Davis-Besse exercise. It will be demonstrated again at the October 2008 Perry exercise. Implementation will be demonstrated by county responders.

Implementation will be demonstrated for State personnel responding to the EOF.

Criterion 3.b.l: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of Ki for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals (not the general public) is maintained.

Extent of Play The State FMTs, Communications Van and Sample Screening Point will not be demonstrated in this exercise. The State demonstrated this criterion at the May 2007 Davis-Besse exercise. It will be demonstrated again at the October 2008 Perry exercise. Implementation will be demonstrated by county responders.

Implementation will be demonstrated for State personnel responding to the EOF.

Criterion 3.c.1: Protective action decisions are implemented for special population groups within areas subject to protective actions.

Extent of Play N/A - This is a county function.

Criterion 3.c.2: OROs/school officials decide upon and implement protective actions for schools.

7. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.

48

8. Exercise / Plan modifications 0 Two Protective Action Recommendations will be received by the county/state.

• To the extent possible two Protective Action Decisions will be discussed by the affected counties and states.

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO//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 Beaver Valley Power Station Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on June 24, 2008.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Ohio and FirstEnergy Corporation, and approved by DHS/FEMA on June 18, 2008.

During the exercise, controllers from the State of Ohio 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.
