- 2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMA 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,.EmergencyP.Rreparedness.(REP.) Programthat -.
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 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' 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, dated 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 Energy;
- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;
- U.S. Department of the Interior;
- U.S. Department of Transportation;
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and 5
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.
Formal submission of.the RERPs for the PINGP to FEMA Region V by the.State.of .
..... .. Minnesota-,and nvolved-dlocal.jurisdictions occu rred-on -March42,1,98-1a ndheS i Wisconsin and involved local jurisdictions on April 6, 1981. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA to the State of Minnesota during September 1985 and to the State of Wisconsin during May 1985, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on July 22, 1 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 PINGP. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the I performance of the OROs 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 DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.

...... .......... Plant.,..This~section ,.of the-..exercise report includes a description.of the, 10-mile.
Emergency Planning Zone, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional 3 entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
3.1. EPZ Description The Xcel Energy Corporation owns and operates the PINGP. The plant consists of two pressurized water reactors (Units 1 and 2); both rated at 560 megawatts (MW). The operating licenses for the facility were granted in August 1973 (Unit 1) and October 1974 (Unit 2). Commercial operations began at the site during December 1973 (Unit .1) 3 and December 1974 (Unit 2).
The plant site consists of approximately 560 acres located in the City of Red Wing (2000 population: 16,116) on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The latitude of the site is 440 37'3" north and the longitude is 920 37'9" west.
The property is level to slightly rolling. The site elevation ranges from 675 to 706 feet above mean sea level. (msl). The Mississippi River flows from northeast to southwest through the 10-mile EPZ. The Vermillion River flows northwest to southeast. Steep bluffs surround the river, rising to more than 1,000 feet above msl about 1% miles northeast and southwest of the site.. The following sub-areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: Sub-areas 2, 5N, 5E, 5S, 5W, 1ON, 1ONE, 10E, 1OSE, 1OSW, 1OW and 1ONW.
The total plume pathway EPZ population is 29,241 (2003 Xcel data). The nearest large population centers are St. Paul, Minnesota (2000 population 287,151), 26 miles
- northwest of the site; seven county Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota (2,642,056), 26 miles northwest of the site; Rochester, Minnesota (80,168)., 41 miles south; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin (51,000), 55 miles east-northeast.
Goodhue County, in which the site is located, and the adjacent counties (Dakota in Minnesota and Pierce in Wisconsin) are predominately rural. Located within two miles 8
of the site, however,- is a Native-American-owned gambling casino, the.Treasure Island I
Casino, which is situated on the Prairie Island reservation, which has an average daily attendance of 2,000-3,000 persons. The remaining land within a 10-mile radius of the site is almost exclusively agricultural. 3 3.2.

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 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 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 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 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 20
appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency I
to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power 3 plant."
- .;AnARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of i organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself,to. adversely impact: public healIth and safety." 3 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 Regional Offices and site-specific exercise reports within each Regional Office. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.
lI The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-). 3
- Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number, corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site 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 3 numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register NoticeNol.
67, No..80 dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.
- Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and 3 ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Plan Issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the RAC Chairman. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not 3 assigned to Plan Issues.
- Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number I assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

ISSUE NO.: 50-08-5b1-A-01 1 CRITERION: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions I to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654, E.5.,
7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c) 3 CONDITION: Misinformation was was posted on the Hotline Status Board and given to callers telephoning into the Public Inquiry Hotline. The misinformation involved subject areas associated with emergency classification levels, radiological release information, and evacuation I
instructions withthe need to take potassium iodide (KI.)
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Possible causes include: isolation of Hotline Operators from announcements made and briefings given on the floor of the SEOC; 5 occasional lack of substantive and clear communication (verbal and through Status Board notations) of significant changes in information (e.g., ECLs, protective actions, and the status of a release of radioactive materials at the plant) between the Hotline supervisors and the Public Inquiry Hotline staff; and lack of understanding by some of the Hotline staff of the appropriate 3 response to inquiries.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E.5., 7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c U EFFECT: The misinformation could result in persons not evacuating or not I taking KI when they should have. Public confusion could result from the disparity between misinformation given by the Hotline staff to callers and 3 official information disseminated via media briefings, local television and 23 5 U
radio stations and EAS messages.
RECOMMENDATION: Engage a more substantive and direct connection between Hotline staff and official information circulated in written form within the SEOC, JIC 'and Hotline work areas. Ensure that information, verbally communicated and posted to the Hotline Status Board is both timely and accurate. Provide sufficient trainingto, Hotline'estaff-to ensure that.they7--- -
understand PAR/PAD implementation processes and protective actions.
Establish clear procedures for handling queries for which the Hotline staff does not know the answer or have readily available authorized information to provide to callers.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The State will be enhancing the training program for the hotline operators to increase the abilities of these operators. The State will be hooking up a speaker system in the hotline room, which will allow for the hotline operators to hear the general briefings on the floor of the SEOC. The State also will be looking to improve the status boards and procedures within the hotline room to ensure that accurate information is avaliable to the hotline operators.

route Fl. From that point, it took 55 minutes to complete the route exceeding the required minimum time of 45 minutes.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The County discovered that recent home construction in the area and the addition of driveways longer .
than 400 feet created time delays along the previously established routes, .
making-them-impossible -to,complete within the allotted time.
To remedy this situation, the County initiated a project to review the alerting routes, and make necessary changes to allow completion of all routes within the allotted time of 45 minutes. The project was completed by January 30, 2007. The Goodhue County Route Alerting Guide for the Prairie Island area was updated to reflect the changes and was published in February 2007.
The most challenging route (J-3) was selected to be demonstrated. Travel time from the Goodhue County EOC to the beginning of the route was 10 minutes. The route itself was completed in 34 minutes. The route was initiated at 0938 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.56909e-4 months <br /> on July 22, 2008, and completed at 1022 hours0.0118 days <br />0.284 hours <br />0.00169 weeks <br />3.88871e-4 months <br />, total time 44 minutes.

7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c)
CONDITION: Misinformation was was posted on the Hotline Status Board I and given to callers telephoning into the Public Inquiry Hotline. The misinformation involved subject areas associated with emergency I classification levels, radiological release information, and evacuation instructions with the need to take potassium iodide (KI.) 3 POSSIBLE CAUSE: Possible causes include: isolation of Hotline Operators 3 from announcements made and briefings given on the floor of the SEOC; occasional lack of substantive and clear communication (verbal and through Status Board notations) of significant changes in information (e.g., ECLs, protective actions, and the status of a release of radioactive materials at the plant) between the Hotline supervisors and the Public Inquiry Hotline staff; 3 and lack of understanding by some of the Hotline staff of the appropriate response to inquiries. 3 37 3 I
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E.5., 7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c
- EFFECT: The misinformation could result in persons not evacuating or not taking KI when they should have. Public confusion could result from the:.
disparity between misinformation given by the Hotline staff to callers and.,-,,
official information disseminated via media briefings, local television and...
radio stations and EAS messages.
RECOMMENDATION: Engage a more substantive and direct connection 3 between Hotline staff and official information circulated in written form within the SEOC, JIC and Hotline work areas. Ensure that information, verbally communicated and posted to the Hotline Status Board is both timely and accurate.. Provide sufficient training to Hotline staff to ensure that they understand PAR/PAD implementation processes and protective actions.
Establish clear procedures for handling queries for which the Hotline staff does not know the answer or have readily available authorized information to 3 provide to callers.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The State of Wisconsin will work cooperatively with the State of Minnesota to resolve ARCA 50-08-5b1-A-06.
Wisconsin REP section planners will observe the Monticello Ingestion 3 Exercise in 2009 to monitor the communication flow in both the JIC and the Hotline work areas. Based on the observed results, WEM staff will assess I the changes that Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) will have made to the Hotline area and work with them if any additional improvements are necessary. Additionally, WEM staff will workwith HSEM to'develop a more comprehensive hotline training program, which will facilitate the development of a protocol for hotline operator staff to I handle questions for which they are unable to answer.
I The State of Wisconsin will re-demonstrate this criterion during the next Prairie Island Exercise, which is scheduled to be held on August 24, 2010.

PREVIOUS EXERCISE FINDINGS AND PLANNING ISSUES State of Minnesota The Minnesota Radiological Field Team Standard Operating :Gu ideline for operating air samplers, and the stickers on the air samplers..stated the air flow indicators on the air samplers should have read between 0.5 and 2.0 cubic feet per minute. However, the air flow indicators had'a range of either 0.5 to 1:25'or 0.5 t6-`i.'5 c-uibic feet per minrute.,As a rdesilt, 'the Standard Operating Guidelines and air sampler stickers have been changed to reflect the actual air flow indicator levels.
Dakota County There were four Radiological Control Officer briefings observed during the exercise. No two briefings were the same and each left out a different piece of information. One briefing did not tell the person where to wear the TLD, another made no reference to the effects of allergies to KI, and there was confusion on DRDs not being zeroed prior to being issued. All essential information was contained in'the dosimetry and KI packets that were issued. Accordingly, plans have been updated as needed to conform to all guidance documents and a checklist or form has been prepared to complete a uniform briefing prior to sending personnel to the field.
There were several adult assisted living facilities (unlicensed) which the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator was unaware of, and therefore may have required additional planning steps. During the exercise the facilities were treated as the general population.
Therefore plans have been updated as needed to conform to all guidance documents.
Goodhue County During the July 18, 2006, Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Power Plant Exercise, Goodhue County received an ARCA (50-06-5.a.3-A-01) regarding the county's ability to warn residents along a route alerting route within the allotted 45 minutes. The county discovered that recent home construction in the area and the addition of driveways longer than 400 feet created time delays along the established route, making it impossible to complete the route within the allotted time.
The county reviewed the route alerting routes, and made the necessary changes to allow completion of the route in 35 minutes. This gives a time buffer that will allow for residential growth in the next few years. The project was completed by January 30, 2007 and will be re-demonstrated during this Prairie Island exercise.

The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance...
State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e.,
evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC. 1 This is a summary of the PAD and EAS process: the EAS Message is selected by the Planning Chief with the concurrence of the Wisconsin Officer in Charge (OC). The Operations Chief coordinates the EAS message with Dakota County and Goodhue County.
The State Incident Manager (SIM) then coordinates approval of the PAD with the State of Wisconsin. The SIM then starts approval of the PAD and EAS. The first PAD is pre-approved and the SIM is authorized to give an approval, all subsequent PADs require the approval from 3
the Governor or Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR).
The actual time of siren and EAS is activated is determined by the SIM after the PAD has i 70
been approved by both states. The SIM then communicates the time the EAS-will be transmitted with the State of Wisconsin.
A copy of the approved PAD then goes to the Operations Chief to coordinate the time when sirens should be sounded in the counties via conference call with Dakota County and Goodhue County. Special News Bulletins will be sent to the JIC from Operations.
An EAS Transmitter (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encoder/decoder, which is automatically monitored by encoders/decoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather alert radios and weather utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota. EAS messages will contain basic information regarding the event. Additional information will be disseminated through the JIC using special news bulletins and media releases.
Weather permitting, a State Patrol helicopter, equipped with a public address system, will warn recreational area individuals and/or groups. The State patrol helicopter will operate from Dakota County Law Enforcement Center, Judicial center, 1580 Hwy 55, Hasting MN on July 22nd.
Activation of sirens, weather radios, and the broadcast of media messages will be simulated.
Goodhue County and Dakota County All EAS messages are developed and disseminated by the SEOC or BCA Call Center. After each PAR becomes a PAD, sirens are sounded once. Goodhue County has the lead for siren activation coordination with Dakota and Pierce County. The coordination of alert and notification implementation will be demonstrated in the Goodhue and Dakota County EOCs (siren activation will be simulated).

Criterion 5.a.3: Activities associated with CNPPD approved exception areas (where applicable) are completed within 45 minutes following the initial decision by authorized 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.
State of Minnesota This criterion is the responsibility of the counties and will not be demonstrated by the State.
Goodhue County During the July 18, 2006, Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Power Plant Exercise, Goodhue County received an ARCA (50-06-5.a.3-A-01) regarding the county's ability to warn residents along a route alerting route within the allotted 45 minutes. The county has reviewed the route alerting routes, and made the necessary changes to allow completion of the route in 35 minutes. This gives a time buffer that will allow for residential growth in the next few years.
Goodhue County does not have 100% siren coverage within the 10-mile EPZ and will demonstrate route alerting. As determined by the scenario, a deputy will be called into the county EOC, and receive a short briefing and be provided with dosimetry/KI. He/she will pick 71
I up an evaluator at the EOC at that time and will demonstrate route alerting in exception areas.
(The route will be selected by the Goodhue County Operations Chief), designated as such due to low population density (DHS approved as identified in the Alert and Notification Design Report). Actual testing of the mobile public address. will be conducted at any agreed-upon 1

EXTENT OF PLAY I Pierce County and the State of Wisconsin will demonstrate these objectives between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on Monday, July 21, 2008, at Elmwood High School in the Village of Elmwood, WI. Pierce County is responsible for registering evacuees and assigning them to appropriate congregate care facilities. The state is responsible for directing the radiological monitoring and decontamination portions of this objective.
State health monitoring teams will demonstrate radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees, emergency workers, and vehicles in accordance with the procedures set forth in WI DHFS RPS Nuclear Incident Response Plan. Health monitoring teams will include personnel from the Department of Health and Family Services Radiation Protection Section, the University of Wisconsin Safety Department, and individuals from the county who have received training as Auxiliary Health Monitors.
The Health teams use a radiation source to ensure that the survey instruments do respond; however, calibrated check sources are not used. The instruments are calibrated annually by a certified calibration facility. Health monitoring personnel from the county will work under I
108 3 I
the supervision of DHFS-RPS staff, and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response.
Once the reception center is operational and monitors have surveyed several evacuees to.
establish flow, at least six evacuees will be monitored and registered for evaluation purposes, with one evacuee requiring decontamination. Two emergency workers will be monitored, with one worker requiring decontamination. .Two vehicles-that are monitored, one.
......evacuee vehicle and one emergency worker vehicle, wil!.. require decortamjination.>..-
V. SCENARIO NARRATIVE Activation of the Elmwood Reception Center will commence at approximately 7:00 pm, Monday, July 21, 2008 in response to notification that a radiological incident has occurred at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.
Once the center is operational, processing of evacuees will commence. At least six evacuees will be monitored. Contamination at levels greater than 100 cpm above background will be detected on oneevacuee, who will be sent to the decontamination area for decontamination. All evacuees will be registered in accordance with reception center procedures.
One additional evacuee will arrive having been injured while evacuating the EPZ, and will require immediate ambulance care and transport to the MS-1 hospital. This evacuee will be assumed radioactively contaminated and properly cocooned by ambulance personnel at the reception center prior to transport..
At least two emergency workers will arrive at the center for monitoring. One emergency.
worker will have contamination levels greater than 100 cpm above background on his outer clothing and will be sent to the decontamination area.'
Two vehicles will be monitored with one having contamination levels greater than 100 cpm above background detected on the wheel wells. This vehicle will be directed to the vehicle decontamination area for decontamination.

112 I
This objective will be demonstrated between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on Monday, July 21, 2008, at the reception center at Elmwood High School in Elmwood, WI. Elmwood Ambulance Service will prepare a simulated contaminated patient for transportation. Due to the distance between Elmwood and Eau Claire, and the resulting time that the ambulance crew would be out of the service area, actual transportation will not be demonstrated. The demonstration of communications with the medical facility will take place according to the SOP for the..
ambulance service. A description of the route and the selection of a hospital -to transport the,
.patient will be-demonstrated thri-ugha:aluator'sinterview withp t..aMubplance personnel.
V. SCENARIO NARRATIVE This simulated radiation accident begins as a member of the general population arrives at the reception center in Elmwood. He has been evacuated from the area around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant after an accident and release of radioactive materials.
While driving to the reception center he experiences a flat tire. He exits his car, but in his excited state, he leaves the car in gear and when it rolls ahead, he falls, and the vehicle's rear wheel runs over and injures his right leg. While his passenger changes the tire they are exposed to the plume. The passenger then drives them to the reception center.
The driver informs reception center staff that the car and passengers have been exposed to the radioactive plume resulting in potential contamination of both.
The ambulance crew stationed at the reception center treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and loads the individual into the ambulance for transport to the hospital. Reception center staff is trained not to survey evacuees requiring immediate medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital. If reception center staff does survey the victim, contamination levels are provided in Section VI.
Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated.
The drill may be terminated when victim is loaded and the notification of the hospital has been completed. Notification of Sacred Heart Hospital will occur through the Pierce County Sheriff dispatcher.
