1 I. EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On September 9 and 10, 2008, a full-scale plume and ingestion exercise was conducted in the 10-plume and 50-mile ingestion exposure pathway emergency planning zones (EPZs) around the Columbia Generating Station (CGS) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),

Region X. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.

The most recent prior full-scale exercise at this site was conducted on September 12, 2006. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on June 1, 1983.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the States of Washington and Oregon; the Washington risk jurisdictions of Benton and Franklin Counties; the Washington support jurisdictions of Adams, Grant, Walla Walla, and Yakima Counties; and the Oregon support jurisdictions of Morrow and Umatilla Counties who were evaluated at 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.

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 3 Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of this exercise. One ARCA from a previous exercise was successfully demonstrated at this exercise.

Five new planning issues were identified, and two planning issues from a previous exercise were resolved and one planning issue from a previous exercise remains unresolved (see Appendix 5 for all planning issues).

2 II. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMAs activities were 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.

44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of Tribal, 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.

FEMAs responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

y Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures developed by State and local governments; y 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; y 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 y Coordinating the activities of the following 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 X Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

3 A REP exercise was conducted on September 9 and 10, 2008, 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 Columbia Generating Station (CGS). The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (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 FEMA Region X RAC Chairperson and approved by FEMA Headquarters.

These reports are provided to the NRC and participating States. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency response capabilities.

The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in the following:

y 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; y FEMA Guidance Memoranda MS-1, Medical Services, November 1986; y FEMA-REP-14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual, September 1991, Interim REP Program Manual; y 66 FR 47546, FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Alert and Notification, September 12, 2001; and y 67 FR 20580, FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology, April 25, 2002.

Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview," presents basic information and data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), 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.

Section IV of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed information on the demonstration of applicable exercise evaluation areas at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. This section also contains:

(1) descriptions of all Deficiencies and Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the Tribal, State, and local governments schedule of corrective actions for each identified exercise issue and (2) descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and resolved at this exercise,

4 including the corrective action demonstrated, as well as ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and scheduled for demonstration at this exercise which remain unresolved.

The final section of the report is comprised of the appendices, which present the following supplementary information: acronyms and abbreviations, exercise evaluators and team leaders, exercise evaluation area criteria and extent of play agreement, and the exercise scenario. It also presents information on planning issues (both new planning issues identified during this exercise and resolved planning issues identified during previous exercises).

5 III. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the September 9 and 10, 2008 exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding Columbia Generating Station (CGS). This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), 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.

A.

Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The Columbia Generating Station is located in the Southeastern quadrant of the U.S.

Department of Energys Hanford Reservation, approximately ten miles North of the city of Richland and three miles west of the Columbia River. CGS is a boiling water reactor with a turbine generator rated at 1,250 megawatts (peak gross).

The topography of the ten-mile EPZ is relatively flat except for a range of hills southwest of the site and bluffs and rolling hills to the north and to the east of the site along the Columbia River. The land is arid and desert-like except where it is irrigated.

The total resident population of the ten-mile EPZ is estimated at 3,674. Approximately 1150 of these residents live in Benton County where the CGS is located. The other 2,524 residents live across the Columbia River to the east in Franklin County. There are no residents within three miles of the site.

The transient population of the ten-mile EPZ could total 15,836 depending on the time of the year. This estimate is comprised of 7,926 industrial employees, mostly in Benton County; 5,135 migrant farm workers, mostly in Franklin County; and 2,775 recreationists, mostly along the east bank of the Columbia River and at the Off-Road Vehicle Park on the southwest edge of the EPZ.

The land use within the Benton County portion of the 10-mile EPZ is predominantly vacant except for scattered industrial sites, recreational sites, and some residents on the southern edge of the EPZ. The land use within the Franklin County portion of the EPZ is predominantly diversified agricultural production facilitated by irrigation. There are six recreation areas within the EPZ: Horn Rapids Park, Horn Rapids Off-Road Vehicle Park and Rattlesnake Mountain Shooting Facility in Benton County; the Wahluke Hunting areas and Ringold Fishing Area in Franklin County; and the Columbia River.

Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating 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.

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

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

y Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

y Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise evaluation area criteria that were scheduled to be demonstrated during this exercise, but were not demonstrated and the reason they were not demonstrated.

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

y Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included are the reasons the ARCAs remain 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.

y A Deficiency is defined in the 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 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.

15 y An ARCA is defined in the FEMA-REP-14 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.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (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 (-).

y Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.

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

y Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP Exercise Evaluation Methodology.

y Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.

y Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: One (1.e1)

Issue Number: 69-08-1.e.1-A-01 Condition: Per the Extent of Play (EOP) agreement for the Washington Department of Health (WDOH) under criterion 3.a.1, Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) staff will use Electronic Personnel Dosimeters (EPD) and Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) only. Additionally, the Radiological Emergency Response Procedures (RERP), Section 2, for each position responding to the EOF, states that each Emergency Worker Kit should contain an EPD. Per the EOP for WDOH under criterion 1.e.1, Calibration records for instrumentation will be made available upon request.

All calibration records were requested for WDOH dosimetry, but there were no calibration records for the Siemens EPDs.

Possible Cause: According to the WDOH Program Manager, the Siemens EPDs were surplus items that the department received at no cost, but after receipt, the WDOH staff was not confident in the EPD reliability. The Program Manager did not change the EOP and RERP to reflect that Direct Reading Dosimeters (DRDs) would be used in lieu of EPDs.

References:

NUREG-0654, H.7, 10; J.10.a, b, e; J.11; K.3.a Effect: The EPDs cannot be considered reliable if not within calibration. Since the WDOH staff responds to an onsite EOF, the potential for plume or deposition exposure exists. As such, the EPDs may not alarm at the turn around value set point, nor accurately reflect emergency worker exposures that could ultimately result in exceeding administrative exposure limits.

However, in lieu of the EPDs, the WDOH staff was issued DRDs that could have been monitored to check exposures while en route to the EOF.

Recommendation: Since the WDOH Program Manager stated that the Siemens EPDs are not considered reliable, either acquire reliable EPDs, or change the RERP to reflect that DRDs will be used by WDOH staff responding to the EOF, and remove reference to the EPDs.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: One (1.c.1)

Issue Number: 69-08-1.c.1-A-03 Condition: The level or degree of threat to the public was overstated in the Commissioners Declaration of Emergency, and the draft document was not coordinated with the Joint Information Center, the Washington State Public Information Office, and/or other adjacent jurisdictions prior to its release to the public. The declaration warned that extensive radiological contamination is anticipated within all or part of the Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone, and also stated that there was a threat of life unless further efforts were taken to reduce that threat. In actuality, when the declaration was issued, little threat to Adams County residents existed, because the radioactive plume was trending away from the County, and only a small corner of Adams County was in the edge of the conservative planning area (90 degrees both sides from the plume centerline) for potential agricultural and food control concern.

Possible Cause: Inexperience of the acting Public Information Officer (PIO), who was appointed by the Director of Emergency Management, because the designated and trained PIO was not in attendance at the Adams County Emergency Operations Center to participate in exercise activities.

References:

NUREG-0654, E.5.7; G.3.a; G.4.c Effect: Undue alarm and/or over-reaction by the public which could potentially cause fear, panic, and/or actions leading to unnecessary financial loss to members of the public Recommendation: Assure that a trained Public Information Officer is present at Emergency Operations Center during radiological emergencies, and provide specific training to all staff

24 members, including the Emergency Management Coordinator, to assure that Plan procedures relative to coordination with the Joint Information Center, Washington State Public Information Office, and adjacent Counties prior to release of information to the public are followed.

Issue Number: 69-08-3.a.1-A-04 Condition: Two of three members of the Oregon Field Monitoring Team #1 and one of three members of Oregon Field Monitoring Team #2 from the Oregon Public Health Division, as well as a member of the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) assisting in the collection of milk samples did not have permanent record dosimeters (PRDs). The remaining field team members wore the PRDs they routinely wear.

Possible Cause: It may have been assumed that field team members would already have PRDs and that none would need be included in the kits.

27

References:

NUREG-0654, K.3.a Oregon Public Health Division Procedures Tab D, Table D.1; Tab G, Personnel Monitoring Supplies (page 4)

Oregon Department of Agriculture Procedures,Section III.

Effect: Since the DRDs are less accurate then PRDs, and reading exposures below about 100 milliroentgens (mR) is difficult using a 0-5 roentgen (R) DRD, members of the field monitoring and sampling teams without PRDs would have a less accurate and incomplete record of their exposure. In addition the PRD is a legal record and the DRDs are not.

Recommendation: Dosimetry, including PRDs, should be included in the emergency kits along with the DRDs and distributed to all sampling team members prior to their deployment from the Assembly Point.

Issue Number: 69-03-3.e.2-A-01 Condition: Umatilla County did not have a supply of Oregons Hanford Emergency Preparedness Brochure that was to be distributed to the public and the agricultural community during the early phase of the incident. No supply of pre-printed copies available at distribution points. OR Energy web-site showed brochure available only during drills and actual events. No letters of Agreement available with designated public distribution points.

29 Corrective Action Demonstrated: Umatilla County had a supply of the State of Oregon Department of Energy Brochure Hanford Emergency Preparedness (ODOE-NUC-005, 1/04) on-hand at their Emergency Operations Center. There was a package (500 copies each) bundled and labeled for the following distribution locations: Food Control Point; Umatilla Point of Entry; Umatilla City Hall; Umatilla County Emergency Operations Center; Hermiston Safeway; Hermiston Safety Center; Hermiston Wal-Mart; and Stanfield City Hall. At 1202 on Day 1 of the exercise, the package for all but the Umatilla County Emergency Operations Center were sent to the Hermiston Safety Center (where they would normally be stored.)

Umatilla County has verbal agreements with the Safeway and the Wal-Mart in Hermiston to be a distribution point for the brochures.

They are also working on an agreement with the Pendleton Grain Growers Association to become another distribution point.

The Oregon CGS/Hanford Plan (May, 2008) does designate the Department of Energy as responsible for providing the counties with information materials for distribution to farmers, diaries, food processors, and others (p. 9-3). However, there is no agency designated as responsible for revision of these information materials. ODOE has posted the brochure permanently on their website.

35 APPENDIX 3:

Exercise Evaluation Area Criteria and Extent of Play Agreement This appendix contains the extent of play agreements from the States of Washington and Oregon approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region X on August 6, 2008 and August 13, 2008, respectively.

The exercise evaluation area criteria, contained in the FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology, 67 FR 20580, 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 evaluation area 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 evaluation area criteria.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should establish reliable primary and backup communication systems to ensure communications with key emergency personnel at locations such as the following: appropriate contiguous governments within the emergency planning zone.

Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations will demonstrate that a primary and at least one backup system are fully functional at the beginning of an exercise. If a communications system or systems are not functional, but exercise performance is not affected, no exercise issue will be assessed. Communications equipment and procedures for facilities and field units should be used as needed for the transmission and receipt of exercise messages. All facilities and field teams should have the capability to access at least one communication system that is independent of the commercial telephone system.

Responsible Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to manage the communication systems and ensure that all message traffic is handled without delays that might disrupt the conduct of emergency operations. Offsite Response Organizations should ensure that a coordinated communication link for fixed and mobile medical support facilities exists. The specific communications capabilities of Offsite Response Organizations should be commensurate with that specified in the response

46 plan and/or procedures. Exercise scenarios could require the failure of a communications system and the use of an alternate system, as negotiated in the extent of play agreement.

All activities associated with the management of communications capabilities must be demonstrated based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise noted above or in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.

Extent of Play Equipment within the facility (facilities) should be sufficient and consistent with the role assigned to that facility in the Offsite Response Organizations plans and/or procedures in support of emergency operations. Use of maps and displays is encouraged.

All instruments, should be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. Instruments should be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Unmodified CDV-700 series instruments and other instruments without a manufacturers recommendation should be calibrated annually. Modified CDV-700 instruments should be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer. A label indicating such calibration should be on each instrument or calibrated frequency can be verified by other means. Additionally, instruments being used to measure activity should have a range of readings sticker affixed to the side of the instrument. The above considerations should be included in the following criteria: 4.a.1 for field team equipment, 4.c.1 for radiological laboratory equipment (does not apply to analytical equipment), 6.a.1 for reception center and emergency worker facilities equipment and 6.d.1 for ambulance and medical facility equipment.

49 Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers should be available for issuance to all categories of emergency workers that could be deployed from that facility. Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry should allow individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures.

Dosimetry should be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replaced, if necessary. CDV-138s, due to their documented history of electrical leakage problems, should be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly and replaced if necessary.

This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the Annual Letter of Certification, and/or through a staff assistance visit.

Responsible Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by emergency workers, as indicated on rosters; institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and, where stipulated by the plan and/or procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway Emergency Planning Zone.

Available quantities of dosimetry and KI and their storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at the storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the Annual Letter of Certification submission, and/or verified during a staff assistance visit. Available supplies of KI should be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the Offsite Response Organizations may produce a letter from a certified private or State laboratory indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia standards.

At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g., vehicles, barriers, traffic cones and signs, etc.) should be available or have their availability described.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to assess and control the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specific in the OROs plans and procedures, to authorize emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.

Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers are the recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates that emergency workers may be permitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration Total Effective Dose or organ-specific limits) identified in the OROs plans and procedures.

Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone should demonstrate a capability to meet the criterion based on their emergency plans and procedures.

52 Responsible Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to make decisions concerning the authorization of exposure levels in excess of preauthorized levels and to the number of emergency workers receiving radiation dose above pre-authorized levels.

As appropriate, Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure, based on the Offsite Response Organizations plan and/or procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established Protective Action Guides (Protective Action Guides) for KI administration.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

WA State EOC: Information relative to State Emergency Worker exposure control will be provided through discussions with DOH technical expert in the Emergency Operations Facility. The recommendation to ingest potassium iodide will be made by WA State Department of Health staff located at the Emergency Operations Facility and State EOC.

State Lab: Will be demonstrated out of sequence in June 2011.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to use all available data to independently project integrated dose from exposure rates or other information and compare the estimated dose savings with the protective action guides. OROs have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation. OROs base these choices on PAGs from the OROs plans and procedures or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g., other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

Extent of Play During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan and/or procedures, to develop protective action recommendations for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.

54 When the licensee provides release and meteorological data, the Offsite Response Organizations also considers this data. The Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the Protective Action Recommendations appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units of the Protective Action Guide to which they will be compared. Protective Action Recommendations should be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.

Differences greater than a factor of 10 between projected doses by the licensee and the Offsite Response Organizations should be discussed with the licensee with respect to the input data and assumptions used, the use of different models, or other possible reasons.

Resolution of these differences should be incorporated into the Protective Action Recommendation if timely and appropriate. The Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated Protective Action Recommendations.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

WA State EOC: Not a State EOC Function.

DOH:

Limitation: DOH dose assessor will not demonstrate an independent dose projection; however, per procedure, will coordinate dose projections with utility.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations should have the capability to make both initial and subsequent Protective Action Decisions. They should demonstrate the capability to make initial Protective Action Decisions in a timely manner appropriate to the situation, based on notification from the licensee, assessment of plant status and releases, and Protective Action Recommendations from the utility and Offsite Response Organization staff.

The dose assessment personnel may provide additional Protective Action Recommendations based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. The decision makers should demonstrate the capability to change protective actions as appropriate based on these projections.

If the Offsite Response Organizations has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under offsite plans, then the Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for the general public to supplement sheltering and evacuation. This decision should be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plan and/or procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established Protective Action Guide for KI administration. The KI decision making process should involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.

If more than one Offsite Response Organizations is involved in decision-making, Offsite Response Organizations should communicate and coordinate Protective Action Decisions with affected Offsite Response Organizations. Offsite Response Organizations should

56 demonstrate the capability to communicate the contents of decisions to the affected jurisdictions.

All decision-making activities by Offsite Response Organizations personnel must be performed based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should have the capability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for special population groups (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

Extent of Play Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of Protective Action Guides, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, examples of factors that should be considered are:

weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of KI should be considered by the Offsite Response Organizations.

Applicable Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contacts with public school systems/districts must be actual.

58 In accordance with plans and/or procedures, Offsite Response Organizations and/or officials of public school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. Officials should demonstrate that the decision making process for protective actions considers (that is, either accepts automatically or gives heavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by Offsite Response Organization personnel, the EAL at which these recommendations are received, preplanned strategies for protective actions for that EAL, and the location of students at the time (for example, whether the students are still at home, en route to the school, or at the school).

All decision-making activities associated with protective actions, including consideration of available resources, for special population groups must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

WA State EOC: Not a State Function.

Benton County EOC: Those identified as needing evacuation assistance will be called during the exercise to update information and determine how many would have needed assistance if it had been a real emergency Franklin County EOC:

Limitations:

o A sample of three phone calls to those transportation dependant individuals (special assistance populations will not be called) will be called during the course of the exercise. Additional notifications will not be conducted.

o Transportation missions will be simulated.

Walla Walla County EOC: Not Applicable.

Regional Limitation: Exercise players reserve the right to immediately re-demonstrate any weakness as identified by the evaluation team.

59 Sub Element 2.d - Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway Criterion 2.d.1: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective action decisions are made based on the Offsite Response Organization planning criteria.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the means to assess the radiological consequences for the ingestion exposure pathway, relate them to the appropriate PAGs, and make timely, appropriate protective action decisions to mitigate exposure from the ingestion pathway.

During an accident at a nuclear power plant, a release of radioactive material may contaminate water supplies and agriculture products in the surrounding areas. Any such contamination would likely occur during the plume phase of the accident and, depending on the nature of the release, could impact the ingestion pathway for weeks or years.

Extent of Play It is expected that the Offsite Response Organization will take precautionary actions to protect food and water supplies, or to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water and food, in accordance with their respective plans and procedures. Often such precautionary actions are initiated by the Offsite Response Organizations based on criteria related to the facility's emergency classification levels. Such actions may include recommendations to place milk animals on stored feed and to use protected water supplies.

The Offsite Response Organization should use its procedures (for example, development of a sampling plan) to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water

60 supplies. The Offsite Response Organizations assessment should include the evaluation of the radiological analyses of representative samples of water, food, and other ingestible substances of local interest from potentially impacted areas, the characterization of the releases from the facility, and the extent of areas potentially impacted by the release. During this assessment, Offsite Response Organizations should consider the use of agricultural and watershed data within the 50-mile Emergency Planning Zone. The radiological impacts on the food and water should then be compared to the appropriate ingestion Protective Action Guides contained in the Offsite Response Organizations plan and/or procedures.

The plan and/or procedures may contain Protective Action Guides based on specific dose commitment criteria or based on criteria as recommended by current Food and Drug Administration guidance. Timely and appropriate recommendations should be provided to the Offsite Response Organization decision-makers group for implementation decisions.

As time permits, the Offsite Response Organization may also include a comparison of taking or not taking a given action on the resultant ingestion pathway dose commitments.

The Offsite Response Organization should demonstrate timely decisions to minimize radiological impacts from the ingestion pathway, based on the given assessments and other information available. Any such decisions should be communicated and to the extent practical, coordinated with neighboring and local Offsite Response Organizations.

Offsite Response Organizations should use Federal resources, as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, and other resources (e.g., compacts, nuclear insurers, etc), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to make decisions on relocation, reentry and return of the general public. These decisions are essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a nuclear power plant.

Extent of Play Relocation: Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and to compare these estimates with Protective Action Guides, apply decision criteria for relocation of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated but where projected doses are in excess of relocation Protective Action Guides and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. Decisions are made for relocating members of the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the Protective Action Guides. Determination of areas to be restricted should be based on factors such as the mix of radionuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates vs. the Protective Action Guides and field samples of vegetation and soil analyses.

Re-entry: Decisions should be made regarding the location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and members of the

63 general public who need to temporarily enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.

Examples of control procedures are: the assignment of, or checking for direct-reading and non-direct-reading dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding the individual's objectives and locations expected to be visited and associated time frames; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; advice on areas to avoid; and procedures for exit including; monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment; decision criteria regarding decontamination and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.

Responsible Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized re-entry of individuals into the restricted zone, based on established decision criteria. Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.g., police patrols), for maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and for other critical functions. They should demonstrate the capability to use decision making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons, such as to maintain property (e.g., to care for farm animals or secure machinery for storage), or to retrieve important possessions. Coordinated policies for access and exposure control should be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone.

Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to establish policies for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowed re-entry to the restricted zone. The extent that Offsite Response Organizations need to develop policies on re-entry will be determined by scenario events.

Return: Decisions are to be based on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return. Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area that is based on the relocation Protective Action Guide.

Other factors that the Offsite Response Organization should consider are, for example:

conditions that permit the cancellation of the Emergency Classification Level and the relaxation of associated restrictive measures; basing return recommendations (i.e.,

permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis) on measurements of radiation from ground deposition; and the capability to identify services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration.

Examples of these services and facilities are: medical and social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate term housing for relocated persons.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION Sub Element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control:

Criterion 3.a.1: The Offsite Response Organizations issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans 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.

(Interim REP Program Manual; NUREG-0654, K.3.a, b)

Was this Criterion adequately demonstrated? YES_____ NO_____ N/A______

If NO, identify all exercise issues on the following pages by addressing the elements listed on the attached ISSUES FOR CRITERION - Narrative Summary form.

Remember, if there is no effect or potential effect, there is no exercise issue.

Reminder: Provide a complete evaluator packet to the Team Leader with a detailed written narrative, timeline of observations, and all forms and information used during the exercise.

Cite outstanding performance where observed.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should have the capability to provide for the following:

distribution, use, collection and processing of direct-reading dosimetry and permanent record dosimetry; the reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a radiation dose record fro each emergency worker; and establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate..

Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure

66 limits (pre-established for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures.

Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the Offsite Response Organizations plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turnback values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the actions described in the plan and/or procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (e.g., written procedures and/or coworkers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be maintained for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, e.g., at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimetry.

Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage, should be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

WA State EOC: State Liaison to facility will obtain emergency worker kit from Benton County prior to responding to EOF.

DOH:

Limitations:

o Scenario will not warrant emergency workers to seek authorization for additional exposures.

67 o Field teams will use Electronic Pocket Dosimeters as the primary dosimeter. 1 EPD issued per field team member.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should have the capability to provide radioprotective drugs for emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, if in the plan and/or procedures, to the general public for whom immediate evacuation may not be feasible, very difficult, or significantly delayed. While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to emergency workers and institutionalized individuals, the provision of KI to the general public is an ORO option and is reflected in OROs plans and procedures.

Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage and means of the distribution of radioprotective drugs.

Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to make KI available to emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the Offsite Response Organization plan and/or procedures, to members of the general public.

Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made. Organizations should have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers and institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. The ingestion of KI recommended by the designated Offsite Response Organization health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the

70 actual ingestion of KI is not necessary. Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate appropriate instructions on the use of KI for those advised to take it. If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information should be provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the Offsite Response Organizations plan and/or procedures.

Emergency workers should demonstrate the basic knowledge of procedures for the use of KI whether or not the scenario drives the use of KI. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should demonstrate the capability to implement plans, procedures and decisions for relocation, reentry and return. Implementation of these decisions is essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a commercial nuclear power plant.

Extent of Play Relocation: Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to coordinate and implement decisions concerning relocation of individuals, not previously evacuated, to an area where radiological contamination will not expose the general public to doses that exceed the relocation Protective Action Guides. Offsite Response Organizations should also demonstrate the capability to provide for short-term or long-term relocation of evacuees who lived in areas that have residual radiation levels above the Protective Action Guides.

Areas of consideration should include the capability to communicate with Offsite Response Organizations regarding timing of actions, notification of the population of the procedures for relocation, and the notification of, and advice for, evacuated individuals who will be converted to relocation status in situations where they will not be able to return to their homes due to high levels of contamination. Offsite Response Organizations should also

83 demonstrate the capability to communicate instructions to the public regarding relocation decisions.

Re-entry: Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to control re-entry and exit of individuals who need to temporarily re-enter the restricted area, to protect them from unnecessary radiation exposure and for exit of vehicles and other equipment to control the spread of contamination outside the restricted area. Monitoring and decontamination facilities will be established as appropriate.

Examples of control procedure subjects are: (1) the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and non-direct-reading dosimetry for emergency workers; (2) questions regarding the individuals' objectives and locations expected to be visited and associated timeframes; (3) maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; (4) advice on areas to avoid and procedures for exit, including monitoring of individuals, vehicles and equipment, decision criteria regarding contamination, proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.

Return: Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase. Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to identify and prioritize services and facilities that require restoration within a few days, and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration. Examples of these services and facilities are medical and social services, utilities, roads and schools and intermediate term housing for relocated persons.

Communications among Offsite Response Organizations for relocation, re-entry and return may be simulated; however all simulated or actual contacts should be documented. These discussions may be accomplished in a group setting.

Offsite Response Organizations should use Federal resources as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, and other resources (e.g. compacts, nuclear insurers, etc), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

WA State EOC: Revised relocation and revised food control decision packages will not be demonstrated.

FIELD MESUREMENT AND ANALYSIS Sub Element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analysis Criterion 4.a.1: The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates.

(Interim REP Program Manual; NUREG-0654, H.10; I.7, 8, 9)

Was this Criterion adequately demonstrated? YES_____ NO_____ N/A______

If NO, identify all exercise issues on the following pages by addressing the elements listed on the attached ISSUES FOR CRITERION - Narrative Summary form.

Remember, if there is no effect or potential effect, there is no exercise issue.

Reminder: Provide a complete evaluator packet to the Team Leader with a detailed written narrative, timeline of observations, and all forms and information used during the exercise.

Cite outstanding performance where observed.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within the plume emergency planning zone to detect airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to detect radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume. In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may post a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

Extent of Play Field teams should be equipped with all instrumentation and supplies necessary to accomplish their mission. This should include instruments capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting the presence of beta radiation. These instruments should be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological

86 protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on the air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source should be used to verify proper operational response for each low range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1 R/hr) and for high range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high range instrument, a procedure should exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range instrument can make useful readings.

All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

DOH:

Limitations:

o Day one field teams will checkout kits pertaining to Plume phase activities only.

o Day two field teams will check out kits/equipment pertaining to ingestion phase activities.

o Field Teams will be able to re-demonstrate any potential issues that do not affect the scenario or participation for other centers immediately.

o All field team equipment will be checked prior to deployment.

o DOH will follow the proper protocol for requesting federal assets; however DOE will not role out field teams as requested. The activation of federal assets will not be evaluated or have any impact on the evaluation process. Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) teams may activate depending on the scenario. The RAP teams may be directed by the DOE field team coordinator or the Washington State Field team coordinator.

o Health Physicist support to the counties will be simulated.

Regional Limitation: Exercise players reserve the right to immediately re-demonstrate any weakness as identified by the evaluation team.

87 Criterion 4.a.2: Field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure.

(Interim REP Program Manual; NUREG-0654, H.12; I.8, 11; J.10.a)

Was this Criterion adequately demonstrated? YES_____ NO_____ N/A______

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to brief teams on predicted plume location and direction, travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment.

Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protective actions or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such locations, at such times to provide information sufficient to characterize the plume and impacts.

If the responsibility to obtain peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from Offsite Response Organizations, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by State and local monitoring teams. If the licensee teams do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the Offsite Response Organizations decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all field teams (licensee, Federal, and Offsite Response Organization) is essential. Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form, to a radiological laboratory should be demonstrated.

Offsite Response Organizations should use Federal resources as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, and other resources (for example, compacts, utility, etc.), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.

88 All activities must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play-agreement.

DOH: No Limitations Regional Limitation: Exercise players reserve the right to immediately re-demonstrate any weakness as identified by the evaluation team.

89 Criterion 4.a.3: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers, while minimizing contamination of the facility and registration of evacuees at the reception centers.

Extent of Play Radiological monitoring, decontamination, and registration facilities for evacuees and emergency workers should be set up and demonstrated as they would be in an actual emergency or as indicated in the extent of play agreement. This would include adequate space for evacuees vehicles. Expected demonstration should include 1/3 of the monitoring teams/portal monitors required to monitor 20% of the population allocated to the facility within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months . Before using monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation.

Staff responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees should demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone population planning base within about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months . This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored

105 per hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure.

A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures specified in the plan and/or procedures, to allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be met. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.

Decontamination of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview. The availability of provisions for separately showering should be demonstrated or explained. The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination. Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (for example, partitions, roped-off areas) to separate clean from potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide changes of clothing for individuals whose clothing is contaminated, and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further contamination of evacuees or facilities. In addition, for any individual found to be contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling of potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.

Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action levels for determining the need for decontamination. They should also explain the procedures for referring evacuees who cannot be adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow up in accordance with the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures. Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.

The capability to register individuals upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities should be demonstrated. The registration activities demonstrated should include the establishment of a registration record for each individual, consisting of the individuals name, address, results of monitoring and time of decontamination, if any, or as otherwise designated in the plan. Audio recorders, camcorders or written records are all acceptable means for registration.

All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following Intent, Extent of Play and Agency/County Extent of Play information is provided for general reference only. Consult your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) demonstrate the capability to establish relocation centers in host areas. The American Red Cross (ARC) normally provides congregate care in support of OROs under existing letters of agreement.

Extent of Play Under this criterion, demonstration of congregate care centers may be conducted out of sequence with the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 3031. In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations as they would be in an actual emergency. Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this objective, exercise demonstration expectations should be clearly specified in the extent of play agreements.

Congregate care staff should also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate, and have

110 been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.

If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (e.g., cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility. However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) should have the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medial facilities with the capability to provide medical services.

Extent of Play Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts will not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

Offsite Response Organizations should demonstrate the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities. An ambulance should be used for the response to the victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended time, any vehicle (e.g., car, truck, or van) may be utilized to transport the victim to the medical facility. Normal communications between the ambulance/dispatcher and the receiving medical facility should be demonstrated. If a substitute vehicle is used for transport to the medical facility, this communication must occur before releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation monitoring results, if available. Additionally, the ambulance crew should demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew would be monitored and decontaminated, if required, or whom to contact for such information.

112 Monitoring of the victim may be performed before transport, while enroute or deferred to the medical facility. Before using a monitoring instrument, the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument for proper operation. All monitoring activities should be completed as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate contamination control measures should be demonstrated before and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to set up and activate a radiological emergency area for treatment. Equipment and supplies should be available for the treatment of contaminated injured individuals.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, to follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and to maintain records of all survey measurements and samples taken. All procedures for the collection and analysis of samples and the decontamination of the individual should be demonstrated or described to the evaluator.

All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the Offsite Response Organizations plans and procedures and be completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to use all available data to independently project integrated dose and compare the estimated dose savings with the protective action guides. OROs have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation. OROs base these choices on protective action guides (PAGs) from the OROs plans and procedures, or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g. other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

129 EXTENT OF PLAY During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO should demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan and/or procedures, to develop protective action recommendations (PARs) for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available..

When the licensee provides release and meteorological data, the ORO also considers these data.

The ORO should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections.

The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units of the PAGs to which they will be compared. PARs should be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.

Differences greater than a factor of 10 between projected doses by the licensee and the ORO should be discussed with the licensee with respect to the input data and assumptions used, the use of different models, or other possible reasons. Resolution of these differences should be incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The ORO should demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

OROs have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation and base these choices on protective action guides (PAGs) from the OROs plans and procedures, FRC Reports Numbers 5 and 7 or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g. other affected OROs),

availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

131 EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should have the capability to make both initial and subsequent PADs. They should demonstrate the capability to make initial PADs in a timely manner appropriate to the situation, based on notification from the licensee, assessment of plant status and releases, and PARs from the utility and ORO staff.

The dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. The decision-makers should demonstrate the capability to change protective actions as appropriate based on these projections.

If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under off-site plans, then the ORO should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for the general public to supplement shelter and evacuation. This decision should be based on the OROs plan and/or procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAG for KI administration.

The KI decision-making process should involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.

If more than one ORO is involved in decision-making, OROs should communicate and coordinate PADs with affected OROs. OROs should demonstrate the capability to communicate the contents of decisions to the affected jurisdictions.

All decision-making activities by ORO personnel must be performed based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for special population groups (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

EXTENT OF PLAY Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved: In these cases, examples of factors that should be considered are weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations were an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of KI should be considered by the OROs.

133 Applicable OROs should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contact with public school systems/ districts must be actual.

In accordance with plans and/or procedures, OROs and/or officials of participating public school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. Officials should demonstrate that the decision making process for protective actions considers (e.g., either accepts automatically or gives heavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by ORO personnel, the ECL at which these recommendations are received, preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL, and the location of students at the time (e.g., whether the students are still at home, en route to the school, or at the school).

All decision-making activities associated with protective actions, including consideration of available resources, for special population groups must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

134 EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING Sub-element 2.d. -Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway 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.

(NUREG-0654, I.8, J.11)

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the means to assess the radiological consequences for the ingestion exposure pathway, relate them to the appropriate protective action guides (PAGs), and make timely, appropriate protective action decisions to mitigate exposure from the ingestion pathway.

During an accident at a nuclear power plant, a release of radioactive material may contaminate water supplies and agricultural products in the surround areas. Any such contamination would likely occur during the plume phase of the accident, and depending on the nature of the release could impact the ingestion pathway for weeks or years.

EXTENT OF PLAY We expect that the ORO will take precautionary actions to protect food and water supplies, or to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water and food, in accordance with their respective plans and procedures. Often such precautionary actions are initiated by the OROs based on criteria related to the facilitys emergency classification levels (ECL). Such action may include recommendations to place milk animals on stored feed and to use protected water supplies.

135 The ORO should use its procedures (for example, development of a sampling plan) to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water supplies. The ORO assessment should include the evaluation of the radiological analyses of representative samples of water, food, and other ingestible substances of local interest from potentially impacted areas, the characterization of the releases from the facility, and the extent of areas potentially impacted by the release. During this assessment, OROs should consider the use of agricultural and watershed data within the 50-mile EPZ. The radiological impacts on the food and water should then be compared to the appropriate ingestion PAGs contained in the ORO's plan and/or procedures.

(The plan and/or procedures may contain PAGs based on specific dose commitment criteria or based on criteria as recommended by current Food and Drug Administration guidance.) Timely and appropriate recommendations should be provided to the ORO decision-makers group for implementation decisions. As time permits, the ORO may also include a comparison of taking or not taking a given action on the resultant ingestion pathway dose commitments.

The ORO should demonstrate timely decisions to minimize radiological impacts from the ingestion pathway, based on the given assessments and other information available. Any such decisions should be communicated and to the extent practical, coordinated with neighboring and local OROs.

OROs should use Federal resources, as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), and other resources (e.g., compacts, nuclear insurers, etc), if available.

Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

136 EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING Sub-element 2.e. - Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making Concerning Relocation, Re-entry, and Return Criterion 2.e.1: Timely relocation, re-entry, and return decisions are made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the OROs plan and/or procedures. (NUREG-0654, A.1.b; I.10; M)

Was this Criterion adequately demonstrated? YES_____ NO_____ N/A______

If NO, identify all exercise issues on the following page by addressing the elements listed on the attached ISSUES FOR CRITERION form.

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT The sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to make decisions on relocation, re-entry, and return of the general public. These decisions are essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a commercial nuclear power plant.

EXTENT OF PLAY Relocation: OROs should demonstrate the capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and to compare these estimates with PAGs, apply decision criteria for relocation of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated but where projected doses are in excess of relocation PAGs and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. Decisions are made for relocating members of the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs. Determination of areas to be restricted should be based on factors such as the mix of radionuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates vs. the PAGs and field samples of vegetation and soil analyses.

Re-entry: Decisions should be made regarding the location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and members of the general public who need to enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.

137 Examples of control procedures are the assignment of or checking for, direct reading and non direct-reading dosimeters for emergency workers; questions regarding the individuals objectives and locations expected to be visited and associated time frames; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; advice on areas to avoid; and procedures for exit including: monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment, decision criteria regarding decontamination; and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimeters and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.

Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized re-entry of individuals into the restricted zone, based on established decision criteria. OROs should demonstrate the capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.g., police patrols), for maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and for other critical functions. They should demonstrate the capability to use decision-making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons, such as to maintain property (e.g., to care for the farm animals or secure machinery for storage), or to retrieve important possessions. Coordinated policies for access and exposure control should be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone. OROs should demonstrate the capability to establish polices for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowed to re-enter the restricted zone. The extent that OROs need to develop policies on re-entry will be determined by scenario events.,

Return: Decisions are to be based on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return. Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area that is based on the relocation PAG.

Other factors that the ORO should consider are, for example: conditions that permit the cancellation of the emergency classification level and the relaxation of associated restrictive measures, basing return recommendations (i.e., permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis) on measurements of radiation from ground deposition; and the capability to identify services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration. Examples of these services and facilities are: medical and social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate term housing for relocated persons.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

138 EVALUATION AREA 3: PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION Sub-element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control Criterion 3.a.1: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans 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. (NUREG-0654, K.3)

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimeters and permanent record dosimeters; the reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; and establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimetry chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the OROs plans and procedures.

139 Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. OROs should demonstrate the actions described in the plan and/or procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (e.g. written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, e.g., at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimeter.

Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage, should be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide radioprotective drugs for emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, if in the plan and/or procedures, to the general public for whom immediate evacuation may not be feasible, very difficult, or significantly delayed. While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to emergency workers and institutionalized individuals, the provision of KI to the general public is an ORO option, reflected in OROs plans and procedures. Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and means of the distribution of radioprotective drugs.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should demonstrate the capability to make KI available to emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the ORO plan and/or procedures, to members of the general public. OROs should demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made. Organizations should have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers and institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. The ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI is not necessary. OROs should demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate appropriate instructions on the use of KI for those

141 advised to take it. If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information should be provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the OROs plan and/or procedures.

Emergency workers should demonstrate the basic knowledge of procedures for the use of KI whether or not the scenario drives the use of KI. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should demonstrate the capability to implement plans, procedures, and decisions for relocation, re-entry, and return.

Implementation of these decisions is essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a commercial nuclear power plant.

EXTENT OF PLAY Relocation: OROs should demonstrate the capability to coordinate and implement decisions concerning relocation of individuals, not previously evacuated, to an area where radiological contamination will not expose the general public to doses that exceed the relocation PAGs.

OROs should also demonstrate the capability to provide for short-term or long-term relocation of evacuees who lived in areas that have residual radiation levels above the (first-, second-, and fifty-year) PAGs.

Areas of consideration should include the capability to communicate with OROs regarding timing of actions, notification of the population of the procedures for relocation, and the notification of, and advice for, evacuated individuals who will be converted to relocation status in situations where they will not be able to return to their homes due to high levels of contamination. OROs should also demonstrate the capability to communicate instructions to the public regarding relocation decisions.

154 Re-entry: OROs should demonstrate the capability to control re-entry and exit of individuals who need to temporarily re-enter the restricted area, to protect them from unnecessary radiation exposure and for exit of vehicles and other equipment to control the spread of contamination outside the restricted area. Monitoring and decontamination facilities will be established as appropriate.

Examples of control procedure subjects are: (1) the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and non-direct-reading dosimeters for emergency workers; (2) questions regarding the individuals objectives and locations expected to be visited and associated timeframes; (3) maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; (4) advice on areas to avoid; and procedures for exit, including monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment, decision criteria regarding contamination, proper disposition of emergency worker dosimeters, and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.

Return: OROs should demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase. OROs should demonstrate the capability to identify and prioritize services and facilities that require restoration within a few days, and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration. Examples of these services and facilities are medical and social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate term housing for relocated persons.

Communications among OROs for relocation, re-entry, and return may be simulated; however all simulated or actual contacts should be documented. These discussions may be accomplished in a group setting.

OROs should use Federal resources as identified in the FRERP, and other resources (e.g.

compacts, nuclear insurers, etc), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The following INTENT, EXTENT OF PLAY, and Region ___ Extent of Play information is provided. Consult extent of play agreement and your Team Leader for how it applies to your assigned location.

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within the plume emergency planning zone to measure airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to detect radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume.

In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

EXTENT OF PLAY Field teams should be equipped with all instruments and supplies necessary to accomplish their mission. This should include instruments capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting the presence of beta radiation. These instruments should be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on the air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and

156 the OROs plans and procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source should be used to verify proper operational response for each low range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1 R/hr) and for high range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high range instrument, a procedure should exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range instrument can make useful readings.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. This does not imply that plume exposure projections should be made from the field data. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

EXTENT OF PLAY Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to brief teams on predicted plume location and direction, travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment.

158 Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protective actions or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such locations, at such times to provide information sufficient to characterize the plume and impacts.

If the responsibility to obtain peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by license field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by State and local monitoring teams. If the license teams do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the OROs decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all field teams (licensee, federal, and ORO ) is essential. Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form, to a radiological laboratory should be demonstrated.

OROs should use Federal resources as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), and other resources (e.g., compacts, etc), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.

All activities must be based on the OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

The exercise scenario was submitted by the States of Washington and Oregon. The scenario was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region X on September 7, 2008.

The summary presented in this appendix is a compilation of exercise scenario materials submitted by the States of Washington and Oregon and Energy Northwest. Events at the plant site that are not pertinent to the ORO response have been omitted.

COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION PLUME AND INGESTION EXERCISE SEPTEMBER 9-10, 2008 EXERCISE SCENARIO NARRATIVE

SUMMARY

Initial Conditions For the past 417 days Columbia Generating Station has been operating at or near 100% power.

The temperature is 58 F with winds from the northwest at 5 mph. It is an overcast morning with front moving through the area and light precipitation in the forecast later in the afternoon.

Clearing is not expected for the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months .

A small confirmed reactor coolant leak of approximately 4 gpm developed on the last shift and is being monitored. ABN-LEAKAGE and Tech Spec 3.4.5.B were entered at 0420 this morning.

Based on concerns that a scram transient could substantially increase the leak rate, an Operational Decision has been issued with the following guidance:

If any increase in the leakrate occurs immediately begin a controlled reactor shutdown.

If drywell pressure reaches 1.2 psig, reduce reactor recirculation flow to 60Mlbm, manually scram the reactor and begin a cooldown not to exceed 100 F per hour.

It is a Division 1 work week and normal planned maintenance activities are underway. Standby Gas Treatment (SGT) Train A is out of service for carbon bed filter testing and Standby Liquid Control SLC-M-P/1A for motor rebuild.

The plant entered Technical Specification 3.1.7.1.A, Standby Liquid Control (SLC) System and 3.6.4.3.A, Standby Gas Treatment (SGT) System at 0800 September 8th.

Inoperable Equipment SGT Train A

174 SLC-P-1A Narrative The scenario starts with the plant operating at 100% power. SGT Train A and SLC-P-1A are out of service for maintenance. A small confirmed reactor coolant leak is being monitored with unidentified leakage at 4 gallons per minute (gpm) and containment pressure elevated.

The first event is an increase in unidentified leakage that exceeds 10 gpm. The crew will declare an Unusual Event per 2.1.U.1, Valid unidentified leakage GE 10 gpm or upscale high indicated on recorder EDR-FRS-623, Pen 1 (P-632) (Non RCC).

Note:

A failure of the Met Tower card should be recognized while completing the Columbia Notification Form from for the Unusual Event declaration. All meteorological indication at (P823-02) will read downscale but normal indication will be available on the Plant Process Computer Replacement System. (If/when centers are manned, a maintenance team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

Following crew response to the rising unidentified leakage, a failure of High-Pressure Core Spray HPCS-P-3, HPCS Keep Fill pump will occur. Operators will be dispatched to investigate and determine that the pump shaft coupling has failed. Maintenance will be contacted for support. (If/when centers are manned, a maintenance team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

Coolant leakage will continue to increase to the point that combined reactor coolant leakage exceeds 30 gpm. The crew will declare an ALERT per 2.1.A.1, Total RCS leakage GT 30 gpm inside PC OR EDR-FRS-623 Pen 2 upscale.

Emergency notifications are made and the Emergency Response Organization is activated.

Events occur during the next hour that set up a radiological release to the environment.

The increased coolant leakage will raise containment temperature and pressure and the crew will take action to manually scram the reactor when the drywell pressure action point is reached.

A full hydraulic Anticipated Transient Without Scram will occur on the scram.

The crew will declare a SITE AREA EMERGENCY per 2.2.S.1 Any Reactor Protection System (RPS) setpoint (including manual) has been exceeded per T.S.3.3.1.1 and RPS actuation failed to result in a control rod pattern which alone always assures reactor shutdown under all conditions and Reactor power GT 5% or 3.4.S.2, Indications of a Main Steam Line (MSL) break-AND-Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) closure has not isolated the leak.

The crew will enter PPM 5.1.1 and exit to PPM 5.1.2 Reactor power will be approximately 45%.

The crew will initiate SLC and SLC-V-29B will open and stick on system initiation preventing SLC injection

175 (A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

There will be a success path for the repair team.

The crew will perform PPM 5.5.10 and 5.5.11 to insert control rods. Scram reset scram will not work to insert rods and the Rod Worth Minimizer (RWM) Bypass key will fail preventing bypassing of rod blocks. Control rods cannot be inserted.

(A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem associated with the RWM Bypass Key.)

There will be a success path for the repair team.

The crew will lower Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) level to between -80 and -140. Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) will be prevented from starting by the crew to keep the Main Turbine on line. Feed and Condensate will be utilized to maintain RPV level.

When containment pressure reaches 1.68#, the crew will identify that RHR-P-2C failed to start as expected.

(A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

There will be a success path for the repair team.

Repair team closes SLC-V-29B and boron is injected into the core. Reactor Power will decrease from SLC injection and lowered RPV level. The main generator will trip on reverse power and the S3 breaker will fail to close. SM-3 and SL-31 will lose power. SL-31 will be re-energized from SL-21.

(A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

There will be a success path for the repair team.

Following the turbine trip a steam leak will develop downstream, of MS-V-22A driving steam tunnel temperatures above the Max Safe Operating value.

Because the MSIV isolation signals were bypassed as required by PPM 5.1.2, RPV Control-ATWS, the crew will have to take action to fast close MSIVs and control reactor pressure on the Safety Relief Valves. The crew will identify that MS-V-22A is stuck open.

(A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

There will be a success path for the repair team.

The steam leak will become worse and the steam tunnel blowout panels rupture leaving a pathway for an unmonitored release.

Reactor water level will drop below -183. If reactor pressure is below the shutoff head of the condensate booster pumps, the condensate filter demineralizes will plug and the filter demin bypass valve (EPN) will fail closed causing a loss of condensate injection.

(A repair team should be sent to investigate and repair the problem.)

The Emergency Director will declare a GENERAL EMERGENCY per 2.1.G.2 RPV level LT-183 inches and failure of both containment isolation valves in any one line to close following auto or manual initiation AND downstream pathway to the environment exists.

176 OR 4.1.G.1 Unisolable primary system discharging outside PC resulting in any area temperature or radiation level above Max Safe Operating Values-AND-RPV level LT-183.

When RPV level decreases to LT -183, the crew will enter PPM 5.1.5 and Emergency Depressurize the RPV.

RPV level will fall below indicated range on Fuel Zone level indicators but when RPV pressure decreases to 143# (minimum steam cooling pressure), RHR-P-2A and RHR-P-2B will be used to recover reactor water level through the shutdown cooling return line per PPM 5.5.26.

When injection is initiated, fuel damage will occur. With MS-V-22A failed open and the steam tunnel blowout panel blown, an unmonitored release begins.

MS-V-22A will close.

The release will be terminated due to the decrease in Primary Containment pressure and by the closing of MS-V-22A.

178 APPENDIX 5:

Planning Issues This appendix contains the Planning Issues assessed during the September 9 and 10, 2008 exercise at Columbia Generating Station (CGS) and those outstanding from earlier exercises.

Planning Issues are issues identified in an exercise or drill that do not involve participant performance, but rather involve inadequacies in the plan or procedures. Planning Issues are required to be corrected through the revision and update of the appropriate State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and/or procedures in accordance with the following schedule:

y Within 120 days of the date of the exercise/drill when the Planning Issue is directly related to protection of the public health and safety.

y During the annual plan review and update (reported in the Annual Letter of Certification) when the Planning Issue does not directly affect the public health and safety. However, when the date for the annual plan review and update is imminent and the responsible organization does not have sufficient time to make the necessary revisions in the plans and/or procedures, the revised portion of the plans and/or procedures should be submitted in the subsequent annual plan review and update and reported in the Annual Letter of Certification.

Any requirement for additional training of responders to radiological emergencies necessitated by the revision and update of the plans and/or procedures must be completed within the timeframes described above in order for the Planning Issue to be considered resolved.

NEW PLANNING ISSUES State of Washington Department of Health Issue Number: 69-08-3.a.1-P-01 Condition: There may be possible confusion by Emergency Workers between designated Exposure Limits and Turn Back values when entering the revised Turn Back Values into the Dose Limit Action Guides for Emergency Workers.

Possible Cause: The nomenclature of the Dose Limit Action Guide for Emergency Workers and the Emergency Worker Turn Back Value Report could lead to confusion of EWs when they apply a correction factor to the exposure limits.

For example, the Dose Limit Action Guide references 5R as an exposure limit in column three where the turn-back value report addresses the value of the 1R

179 as a turn-back value. For 2.5R value column three should read administrative Exposure Limit on the 10C guide.

Reference:

NUREG-0654, K.3.a, b Effect: Emergency Workers could receive a greater than directed exposure limit based on the implementation of the correction factor to the regulatory limits identified in the Dose Limit Action Guide for Emergency Workers.

Reccomendation: A possible solution would be to change the Dose Limit Action Guide for Emergency Workers by changing the following: It would be better if the second column would be changed from Any Increase to Turn-back values and the second column next to 2.5R should be shaded for no input and column three on the same row should change TURN-BACK VALUE to ADMINISTRATIVE EXPOSURE LIMIT to remain constant with the rest of the guidance.

Franklin County Bus Driver Issue Number: 69-08-3.b.1-P-02 Condition: The Emergency Worker Kit for Franklin County Bus drivers does not include appropriate instructions for who should/should not take KI or its possible side effects.

Possible Cause: The proper instructions of KI ingestion are not part of the Emergency Worker Kit.

Reference:

NUREG-0654, J.10.e Effect: Emergency Workers could avoid unnecessary side effects of KI ingestion with proper KI instructions available in the Kit.

Recommendation: Amend the Franklin County ESF-10.C IP EW-0 and Bus Driver Kit to meet the current FDA guidelines for KI ingestion.

Issue Number: 69-08-3.e.1-P-03 Condition: Oregon did not demonstrate the availability and appropriate use of adequate information regarding water, food supplies and agricultural production within the ingestion planning zone.

Possible Cause: Oregon did not have a state agricultural representative in the EOF. Detailed planning of agricultural sampling within the recommended Food Control Area did not include specific information for Oregon. Although there was an Oregon agricultural representative stationed in the Oregon EOC and in

180 communication with the EOF, that communication was not effective in incorporating Oregon into the detailed sampling plan produced by the EOF. The Oregon portion of that plan consisted of only a single page of general instructions for obtaining vegetation, air, soil, and water. No specific agricultural crops or locations were included.

References:

NUREG-0654, J.9, 11.

Effect: Ingestion pathway sampling for Oregon was not effectively coordinated with Washington through the EOF. The EOF detailed sampling plan did not include sampling locations and media for agricultural sampling in Oregon.

Recommendation: Oregon should consider staffing the EOF with a state agricultural specialist. Alternatively, close coordination with the Oregon EOC should be established specifically to ensure that agricultural information specific to Oregon is included in EOF products and planning.

Oregon Field Monitoring Issue Number: 69-08-1.e.1-P-04 Condition: The Oregon State Public Health Procedure Tab D, Table D-1, Emergency Worker AP Team Checklist includes potassium iodide tablets as items to be obtained before departing Oregon Public Health. This conflicts with instructions found in Oregon State Public Health Procedure for Columbia Generating Station Emergency Response paragraph IX.C. This states All potassium iodide supplies will be provided by Washington Health or Columbia Generating Station, if Oregon field teams are requested to enter within 10 miles of the plant.

Possible Cause: Oversight during revision and review of the procedure.

References:

NUREG-0654, J.10.e.

Oregon State Public Health Procedure Tab D, Table D-1; Oregon State Public Health Procedure for Columbia Generating Station Emergency Response paragraph IX.C Effect: Deployment of field teams could be delayed looking for potassium iodide to include in the kits or team members could believe that potassium is staged in the sealed kits and available for use.

Recommendation: Revise The Oregon state Public Health Procedure Tab D, Table D-1 to comply with Oregon State Public Health Procedure for Columbia Generating Station Emergency Response paragraph IX.C.

181 Umatilla County Emergency Operations Center Issue Number: 69-08-5.b.1-P-05 Condition: The Umatilla County PIO identified radio station KONA 610 AM, 105.3 FM in their Emergency News Release dated September 10, 2008, 2:55 p.m.

(9/10/2008, 1455). Each of the previous news releases on September 09. 2008 (9/10/2008) and the following news release developed by the Umatilla County PIO dated September 10, 2008, 3:00 p.m. (9/10/2008, 1500) referenced radio stations 1360 KOHU and 107.7 KUMA.

Possible Cause: There are no radio stations pre-identified for use in the Umatilla County Ingestion Pathway plan.

It appears that the Umatilla County PIO may have performed a cut and paste of information from either the State JIC or Morrow County PIO in an attempt to provide the public with the same protective action information from the Oregon Department of Agriculture. While her actions did capture the correct protective action recommendation, she did not change the last paragraph of the news release to reference local radio stations in Umatilla County.

References:

NUREG-0654, E. 5, 7; G.3.a., G.4.c Effect: The public could become confused as to which radio station they should listen to for information and updates about the event.

Recommendation: Update the Umatilla County Ingestion Pathway plan to include the specific radio station(s) that will be identified for all Emergency News Releases. Doing so will provide proper guidance to the PIO to ensure that the news releases disseminate consistent information to their public.

PRIOR PLANNING ISSUES RESOLVED Franklin County Emergency Operations Center Issue Number: 69-04-5.b.1-P-06 Condition: Production of News Release #6 on the Agriculture Advisory for Franklin County was slow. The draft was received at 1006 from Benton County. The recommendations included not drinking fresh milk produced since 0936, or eating vegetables or produce picked or harvested since 0936. It was edited to include the correct roads that served as boundaries, and finally sent to the Joint Information Center (JIC) around 1058. (It was distributed at the JIC by 1130.) It also asked them to listen to KONA 610 AM and 105.3 FM for the latest information, but none of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages broadcast contained information on the Agriculture Advisory, and this advisory was for an area outside the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). There was also no thought or discussion about translating and

182 disseminating this advisory in Spanish. This news release did not mention the statement Do not transport any agricultural products from the above area. A revised news release with this statement was produced and sent to the JIC at 1158. It was distributed at the JIC by 1209, but the news release number and time were not changed, and there was no indication that there was new or additional information in the news release.

Corrective Action Demonstrated: The recommended Agricultural Advisory was received in Franklin County at 1158. A news release was generated, approved and transmitted to the Joint Information Center at 1235. The Joint Information Center staff requested an additional change which was transmitted at 1305. The process by which the Agricultural Advisory is developed into a news release, approved and transmitted is timely.

Oregon Field Monitoring Issue Number: 69-06-1.d.1-P-03 Condition: Oregon State Public Health Procedures Plan, Tab G, page 3:

Communications Equipment lists 2 standard cell phones as a part of the communication equipage for Oregon State Field Measurement Teams. Procedures Plan Tabs A, B and H all instruct field teams that cellular telephone communications are a primary method of communications. However, there is no provision for a mobile cell phone charger (i.e. none listed under Communications Equipment), and none is provided in the go kits.

A satellite phone is listed on the same tab as a secondary mode of communications. Again, no mobile charger for the sat phone is listed on the equipage.

Reason Issue Unresolved: Oregon State Public Health Procedures Plan, Tab G, page 3: Communications Equipment has not been revised to include chargers for either the satellite phones or the cellular phones. (Both field monitoring teams had chargers for their satellite phones and their cellular phone.)

Recommendation: Oregon State Public Health Procedures Plan, Tab G, page 3 should be revised to include chargers for both the satellite phones and the cellular phones.

PRIOR PLANNING ISSUES UNRESOLVED Emergency Operations Facility Issue Number: 69-04-2.b.1-P-02

183 Condition: After the designated State Health official made the decision to authorize the ingestion of KI by State and local emergency workers, there was no recalculation of a new Emergency Worker Exposure Correction Factors. There is no procedural requirement to produce a new correction factor; however, since the correction factor contains the contribution from the internal dose from the ingestion of radioiodine, a factor that does not account for the use of KI is overly conservative.

Reason Issue Unresolved: The Washington Department of Health Dose Assessor implemented actions specified in Section 2.2.4 of the Rev 8 draft, dated August 2008, of the Radiological Emergency Response Procedures Section 2 - Columbia Generating Station. This section required a calculation of a new Emergency Worker Exposure Correction Factor after the ingestion of KI had been approved.

The calculation was made and a new correction factor was generated and transmitted to the State Health Liaison. In accordance with the draft plan, a default factor of 5 was used.

Recommendation: This issue should be considered closed when the current draft procedure is submitted as a final procedure revision.
