After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

During the week of November 16, 2009, a full-scale evaluated plume exercise was conducted in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway, Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III.

Out-of-sequence Mass Care demonstrations were conducted the 6th,7th, and 8th of October 2009. A Medical Services (MS-1) drill was also evaluated June 10, 2009. The purpose of the exercise and the out-of-sequence demonstrations were to assess the State and local offsite response organization preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise and out-of-sequence demonstrations were held in accordance with FEMA's 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 August 7, 2007.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; the risk jurisdictions of Berks, Chester, and Montgomery Counties; the support jurisdictions of Bucks and Lehigh Counties; and 16 participating municipalities who were evaluated during 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 as volunteers providing vital emergency services twenty four (24) hours to the communities of which they live. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was observed during this exercise.

This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

- Mass Care evaluations were conducted on October 6-8, 2009 in Bucks, Chester, and Lehigh Counties.

- Mass Care evaluations were also conducted as part of the out-of-sequence acativites November 18, 2009 in Berks and Montgomery Counties.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design 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. FEMA's 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 .ontingent, in part, on State and local government participation in joint exercises with licensees.

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

A. 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; B. 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; C. 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 D. Coordinating the activities of the following Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Peogram (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Lower Pottsgrove Townships in Montgomery County. The plant is owned and operated by Exelon Nuclear Two boiling water reactors each generate an electrical output of 1,050 megawatts (MW). Unit 1 was issued a full-power license in August 1985; commercial operations began in February 1986. Unit 2 was issued a full-power license in August 1989 with commercial operations beginning in January 1990.

The site encompasses 595 acres and is divided into three (3) parts. The principal portion, where the major operating equipment and buildings are located, is on the east bank of the Schuylkill River. This portion is separated from the second segment, where the cooling water intake is located, near the main line of the Reading Railroad.. The third portion lies on the west bank of the river, adjacent to Conrail railroad tracks. .,The site coordinates are approximately 40'13'27"N and 75035 '15"W.

The minimum exclusion distance for the:LGS is 2,500 feet from the center of eachreactor. The utility owns all the land within the exclusion .area. No private residences are located within the exclusion area; however, some farming may -be permitted.

There are 165 sirens installed to cover the 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ. These sirens are activated three (3) minutes before the Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania .are broadcast.

Soils in this area are of the Reaville-Penn-Klinesville Association and are characteristic of rolling uplands. They are underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Brunswick Formation, consisting mostly of red shale with some fine-grained sandstone interbedding.

The normal pool elevation of the Schuylkill River in this area is 200 feet above mean sea level (msl). The topography of the area is hilly, with elevations ranging from 100-300 feet above msl within five (5) miles of the site. The plant is approximately 217 feet above msl.

The climate in this area is dominated.by prevailing westerly winds that produce humid, continental-type weather characterized by warm summers and moderately cold winters.

Montgomery County is the warmest part of Pennsylvania, with an average annual temperature of 57°F. Annual precipitation is approximately 42 inches.

The area in the immediate vicinity of the plant is made up mostly of agricultural and other open 27

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station land. The Pottstown Borough in Montgomery County is the nearest community and has a population of 21,859 based on the 2000 Census. The nearest major population center (more than 25,000 people) is Philadelphia that lies 25 miles to the Southeast of the site.

Two major industries employ a total of 850 persons within two (2) miles of the plant. Two small airfields are also located nearby. A small private airfield is about one (1) mile to the northeast, but its runway is oriented so that the flight path does not pass over the plant. The Pottstown Municipal Airport is 4.3 miles northwest of the site. The LGS does not lie in the approach pattern for this airport.

No major thoroughfares are located in the immediate vicinity of the plant. The main line of the Reading Railroad runs along the north bank of the Schuylkill River and traverses the site about 500 feet from the plant.

ISSUE NO.: 35-09-3al-P-02 CRITERION: OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and'procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers IAW plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read and record dosimeter reading. (NUREG-0654, K.3).

CONDITION: Local jurisdictions (boroughs and townships) do not maintain 0-200 R Direct Reading Dosimeters (DRDs); all 0-200 R DRDs are maintained at the County EOC.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has developed policy, guidance and information, relative to dosimetry applicableto all risk counties.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.3.a,b; Douglass Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan, September 2009,Section III.K.6.aiii(c) and III.L.7.c.

EFFECT: Emergency workers may have to delay a life-saving mission while a local jurisdiction coordinates with the risk county to obtain dosimetry or an replacement emergency worker, and potentially not be able to monitor personal exposure during the mission.

RECOMMENDATION: Plans should address coordination of 0-200 R DRD issuance to avoid delays in life-saving situations. This issue is being assigned to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania because it affected several counties. The 46 0

ISSUE NO.: 35-07-3al-P-01 ISSUE: Discrepancies exist between the dosimetry information on the emergency worker radiological briefing.videotape and the Risk Township Radiological Emergency Response Plans..

REASON UNRESOLVED: Planning issue 35-07-3.a.1-PZ01 has partially been corrected by PEMA by issuance of a new videotape to the Risk Counties to be used by them to brief Emergency. Workers on emergency worker exposure, control.

In addition, Pennsylvania Annex E, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Response to Nuclear Power Plant Incidents, Change 4 dated March 2002, to the State Emergency Operations Plan is currently undergoing a major revision. PEMA has provided interim guidance in a memo dated April 6, 20091 to be used until all necessary changes have been made and incorporated into Annex E. Until all of the changes are made and incorporated into Annex E, this issue will remain unresolved.

When the issue was presented in 2007 the recommendation was to "Revise the radiological briefing videotape and Dosimetry-KI Report Form to reflect current information." Both of these items have been addressed. Additionally, other electronic and specific 3-part hardcopy forms were updated and provided to the various participating agencies to ensure continuity of plans. It is also true that Annex E of the State Emergency Operation Plan is currently undergoing a major revision and that PEMA had issued the interim guidance dated April 6, 2009. The interim guidance coupled with the updated video and forms should insure that such discrepancies, as stated in the issue above, are resolved.

b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 6.a. 1.

ISSUE NO.: 35-09-6al-A-01 CRITERION: Reception center/emergency ,worker facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees and/or, emergency workers. (NUREG-0654, J. 1O.h.,

K.5.b)

CONDITION: The survey instrument probes used to perform evacuee monitoring were not covered with a plastic bag as required by Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOG#12, Appendix 14.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failure to follow SOG#12, Appendix 14.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654: J.1O.h; J.12: K.5.a. Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOG#12, Appendix 14.

EFFECT: Not covering the probes with a plastic bag provides the opportunity to contaminate the probe while performing monitoring activities. Contaminating the probe would have comprised the ability for that instrument to be used for contamination monitoring. Since there were no spare. instruments, this would have impacted the center's capability to performing all monitoring activities.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: When the probes were not covered with a plastic bag, the demonstration was stopped, a controller provided training, and each probe was successfully covered with a plastic bag that was secured to the probe's handle with tape.

ISSUE NO.: 35-09-6al-A-02 50 0

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station CRITERION: Reception center/emergency worker facility has appropriate space.

adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees and/or~emergency workers. (NUREG-0654, J. 10.h.,

K.5.b)

CONDITION: While performing radiological monitoring in both the female and the male monitoring and decontamination areas, the individual performing the monitoring held the monitoring probe approximately eight inches.from the simulated contaminated evacuee. As stated in Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOG#12, Appendix 1, the probe should be held approximately one-half inch from the person being monitored.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failure to follow SOG#12, Appendix 1.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654: J.10.h; J.12: K.5.a. Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOG# 12, Appendix 1.

EFFECT: Maintaining the probe at approximately eight inches from the evacuee being monitored could result in not identifying contamination that would warrant decontamination.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: When it was observed that the monitoring probe was held at approximately eight inches from the evacuee, the demonstration was stopped, a controller provided training on the correct monitoring technique, and this was successfully re-monitored with the detector held at approximately one-half inch from the evacuee.

Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654, J. 1O.h., 12) 53

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station CONDITION: The Berks County Emergency Plan lists the capacity of the Wilson High School Mass Care Center as- 647 people. The*Berks County Chapter of the American Red Cross is the responsible organization for staffing and equipping the mass care center. The inventory of equipment that the Red Cross chapter provided during the demonstration is not sufficient to meet the needs of the Wilson High School Mass Care Center (416 cots vs 647 people capacity of the Center). Also, the inventory of equipment appears to be intended for distribution to multiple mass care centers.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The inventory of equipment provided during the demonstration was just' for the local Red Cross Chapter and'did not 'include the resources available through the mutual aid agreements with other Red Cross Chapters.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0645, J.10.h and J.12 EFFECT: The number of evacuees, may be larger thanthat which the immediate available supplies can support.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick'Generating Station CONDITION: Critical KI advisory information disseminated via the Emergency Communications System (ECS) was not received by Colebookdale Township Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

POSSIBLE CAUSE: In accordance with the Colebookdale Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan, (RERP), the primary means of communications between Colebookdale Township EOC and Berks County EOC are facsimile (fax) messages, radio/pager system and ARES/RACES. Recently, Colebrookdale Township EOC was additionally equipped with a computer workstation that provided internet access into Berks County's EmergencyCommunications System (ECS).,.The Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) attempted to access the ECS, however he had an incorrect password and was unable to~enter the site. He did not notify Berks County EOC about the ECS connectivity issue because it was a secondary means to receive notifications.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 E. 1, Berks County RERP, Annex J-3-2, Section C, Colebrookdale Township RERP,Section III.G :

EFFECT: If receipt of critical information is not confirmed by the sender and/or is unknown, protective actions may not be taken by the general public and emergency workers; this could result in unnecessary radiation exposure.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Colebrookdale Township Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) successfully re-demonstrated. the ability to access, transmit and receive information using the Berks County Emergency Communications System (ECS) on December 14, 2009.

After Action Reportl/mprovement Plan Limerick Generating Station CRITERION: OROs use a decision-making process to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of admin or PAGs.

CONDITION: The Colebrookdale Radiological Officer (RO) authorized KI for emergency workers without authorization from the State Health Officer.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The RO stated that it was within his authority to authorize the ingestion of KI for emergency workers (EWs). The RO was unaware of the KI content in News Statement #8 that advised individuals in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone to take KI.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654 J. 110.e, Berks County, Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), Annex J-3-12, Section C.2, Colebrookdale RERP, Section P EFFECT: The RO could put the health of emergency workers at unnecessary risk of KI exposure or side effects by not following the Plan.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station J. 10.g.j.k.)

CONDITION: Local law enforcement personnel did not participate in the exercise; traffic control activities were not demonstrated.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Colebrookdale Township/ Boyertown Borough RERPs assign local law enforcement responsibility for establishing and staffing Traffic Control Points (TCPs) with support from other public works organizations.

The Colebrookdale Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC)' informed the evaluators that he had notified the Colebrookdale Chief of Police on a previous date that an emergency exercise under the Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) was to take place on November 17, 2009 and the EMC understood that a representative from the Police Department would participate in the exercise. During the exercise, the Chief of Police informed the EMC that he would not send a representative to participate in the exercise. The Police Chief stated that he did not have adequate staff available to participate in the exercise.

Failure of local law enforcement participation in this exercise caused a lack of adequate attention being paid to the TCP function. Secondly, when the EMC became aware that there would be no participation by local law enforcement, he failed to address the TCP function in evacuation preparations and execution.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 J. I0.g.j, Colebrookdale Township RERP,Section IV.L, ESF-13, Law Enforcement EFFECT: Failure to establish TCPs and thereby insure an orderly traffic flow during evacuation would increase the possibility of accidents and injuries to evacuees and increase the possibility that they may be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Colebrookdale Township successfully re-demonstrated December 14, 2009 their ability to establish traffic and access control. The Colebrookdale Township Emergency Management Coordinator and the Chief of police were present for a re-demonstration of the Traffic Control Point (TCP)/ Access Control Points (ACP).

CONDITION: The radiological briefing video used at the Douglass Township (Berks County) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) contained information that was inconsistent with the Douglass Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). Inconsistencies included the following items:

The video specifies that permanent record dosimeters (PRDs) should be worn outside the clothing. The Douglass Township RERP specifies that "Dosimeters (PRDs, and as appropriate, DRDs) are to be worn in the pocket of an outer garment."

The video states that emergency workers given missions outdoors will be issued a 0-200 R direct-reading dosimeter (DRD). The Douglass Township RERP states that workers who have outdoor assignments will receive a Category A Standard Issue of dosimetry, which includes a 0-20 R DRD, but no 0-200 R DRD. 0-200 R DRDs must 58 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station the public is completed within 45 minutes following the detection by the ORO of a failure*of the primary A&N system. (NUREG-0654, E.6., Appendix 3.B.2.c)

CONDITION:, The Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Company backup route alerting teams A and B did not complete their pre-assigned backup route alerting in the prescribed time of 45 minutes.

POSSIBLE CAUSE. At 19.17, Chester County received an inject indicating failure of siren #95 within Schuylkill Township. Chester County notified Schuylkill Township of the siren failure Viae-mail at 1923. At 1,927,,a message was received at the Schuylkill Township. EOC through ARES/RACES:stating that Siren #95 had failed.

The route alert teams were notified at 1929 by the Radiological Officer to dispatch to perform the route alert in sectors 68-D-1 and 68-D-2. There was a brief discussion between the EMC and the AEMC and at 1930 the EMC stopped the dispatch of the route alert team. There was a review of the plan by the AEMC and another discussion between the AEMC and the EMC. The discussion involved a question as to the requirement to perform route alerting outside of a declaration of General Emergency ECL. It appeared that the EMC was unsure of procedures regarding route alert initiation and was unfamiliar with sections of the plan.

At 1943, the EMC dispatched the route alert teams and they began their route at 1945. Route Alert Team A completed route alerting of sector 68-D-1 at 2022 (65 minutes). Route Alert Team B completed- route alerting of sector 68-D-2 at 2025 (68 minutes). Alert routes 68-D- 1 and 68-D-2 are unusually long (at least 31 directional turns) and are largely in residential sub-divisions.

REFERENCE:

ISSUE NO.: 35-09-lel-P- 1I CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The potassium iodide (KI) inventory maintained at the Montgomery County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is insufficient to cover the needs of the staff and inmate population at the County Correctional Facility.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The EOC maintains'an inventory Of KI consistent with the Montgomery County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). The planning assumption (an inmate population of 1,200, plus a county staff of 120) in the RERP at the County Correctional Facility differs from the actual inmate population. During an interview, the Public Safety and Security Unit Officer explained that the facility currently had over 1,800 inmates and that the population sometimes exceeded 2,000.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, J. 10.d. and e EFFECT: In the event that a radiological release would impact the area where the County Correctional Facility is located, Montgomery County may not be able to achieve the requirement to ensure the protection of those persons whose mobility is impaired due to their institutional confinement.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Montgomery County officials reviewed Potassium Iodine (KI) data needs to address shortfalls. On December 14, 2009, 6,600 KI tablets for 1,650 people (2-day supply) was provided by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) to Montgomery County to 76

ISSUE NO.:.35-07-lel-P-06 ISSUE: The Radiological Equipment Distribution sheet provided with dosimetry at the Douglass Township was incomplete and inaccurate. It was dated July 2007 for distribution, but did not have any information about when the direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs) were last leak tested. Additionally, the sheet does not include the serial numbersof the permanent record dosimeters (PRDs).

The Radiological Equipment Distribution sheet indicated that the box contained 44 77

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Model DCA-622 (0-20 R) DRDs and 18 Model CD V-742 (0-200 R) DRDs. An inspection of the inventory indicated that included 39 Model DCA-622 (0-20 R)

DRDs; 5 Arrow-Tech Model 730, (0:20 R) DRDs 4 Model CD V-730 (0-20 R)

DRDs, and 14 CD V-742 (0-200 R) DRDs. In summary, the box contained four fewer 0-200 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list and four more 0-20 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list.

REASON UNRESOLVED: Montgomery County officials will review and correct any inventory and documentation discrepancies. -In late 2009, Montgomery County officials began working with Douglass Township Administration to replace the current Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC). A candidate has been identified by Douglass Township in the first quarter of 2010. After the new EMC is officially appointed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a full plan review will be completed and any discrepancies corrected.,

CONDITION: The Western Montgomery County Area Vocational/Technical School, which is located Within the Spring-Ford Area School District, serves students from the Spring-Ford, Upper Perkiomen, and Pottsgrove School Districts. Questions were raised regarding whether or not Spring-Ford relocated all the Vocational/Technical School students, or whether each district handled the relocation of their own student population attending the school.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Plans did not specify which school district(s) had responsibility for re-locating students from multiple School districts that attended a shared school located in the Spring-Ford school District.

ISSUE NO.: 35-09-3c2-P-16 CRITERION: OROs/school officials decide upon and implement protective actions for schools (NUREG-0654, J.0O.c.d.g.)'

CONDITION: The County Plan contained a map showing the route to be taken from Spring-Ford School District to the Montgomery County Community College; however there were no directions regarding where on the college campus the students from each school would be sheltered. Without clear plan guidance, management of the relocation activities, and pick-up of evacuated students on the college campus would be difficult.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Montgomery County Community College was recently designated as the relocation venue for Spring-Ford School System students. College officials and the Spring-Ford School District officials had not worked out the details of where individual school populations would be placed on a large college campus.

REFERENCE:

Spring-Ford School District Radiological Emergency Response Plan for Incidents at the Limerick Generating Station, August 2009.

EFFECT: Bus drivers would not know where to discharge the students on their bus, once they arrived at Montgomery County Community College. Parents or guardians would not know where to pick-up their children.

After Action Report/improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN I~ b r 31"0 Iss- l,,_Ig Cr itei'  : I ISSUE: The Berks County Emergency Plan lists the capacity of the Wilson High School Mass Care Center as 647 people. The Berks County Chapter of the American Red Cross is the responsible organization for staffing and equipping the mass care center. The inventory of equipment that the Red Cross chapter provided during the demonstration is not sufficient to meet the needs of the Wilson High School Mass Care Center (416 cots vs 647 people capacity of the Center). Also, the inventory of equipment appears to be intended for distribution to multiple mass care centers.

RECOMMENDATION: List the available supplies that would be obtained through agreements between the American Red Cross Berks County Chapter and other agencies to ensure they are sufficient for the number of expected evacuees.

0 CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: Berks County will work with the American Red Cross Berks County Chapter to review agreements and to document inventories between the County red Cross Chapter and other agencies to ensure supplies are sufficient.

Afler Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station I e m f3 9a* _al ICriterion:

ti ISSUE: The radiological briefing video used at the Douglass ToWnship (Berks County) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) contained information that was inconsistent with the Douglass Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). Inconsistencies included the following items:

The video specifies that permanent record dosimeier§ (PRDs) should be'werf oufside.th*e~clothinig. ThebDouglas' Township RERP specifies that "Dosimeters (PRDs,' and as appropriate, DRDs) are to be worn in the pocket of an outer garment."

The video states that emergency workers given missions outdoors will be issued a 0-200 R direct-reading dosimeter (DRD). The Douglass Township RERP states that workers who have outdoor assignments will receive a Category A Standard Issue of dosimetry, which includes a 0-20 R DRD,but no 0-200 R. DRD.0-200 R DRDs must be obtained from Berks County....

RECOMMENDATION: The radiological briefing video and the RERP should be aligned, or additional radiological briefing should be provided to address these discrepancies.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: The video was updated and copies provided to PEMA during the week prior to the exercise. It was not distributed to all participants at the time of the biennial exercise.

Participants were expected, through pre-exercise training, to address the discrepancy. A copy of the updated video (11/2009) was provided to FEMA just prior to the exercise with an explanation that exercise participants would receive it in the near future, though not in time for the exercise. The updated video has since been mass produced and is now available for distribution to all participants. The video was updated to correct prior planing issue number 35-07-3al-P-01 "Discrepancies exist between:"the dosimetry information on the emergency worker r~adiological briefin* videotane and the Risk Townshin Radtiolo~ical-Emer~encv Resnonse Plans".

ISSUE: The Radiological Equipment Distributii*nsheetip'ovided with dosimetry at the Douglass Township was incomplete and inaccurate. It was dated July"2007 for distrbiution, but did not have any information about when the direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs) were last-leak tested. Additionally, the sheet d6es not include the serial numbers of the permanent record dosimeters (PRDs)..

The Radiological Equipment Distribution .sheet indicated that the box contained 44 Model DCA-622 (0-20 R).

DRDs and 18 Model CD V-742 (0-200 R) DRDs. An' inspection .othe inventory indicated that included 39 Model DCA-622 (0-20 R) DRDs; 5 Arrow-Tech Model 730, (0-20 R) DRDs 4 Model CD V-730 (0-20 R) DRDs, and 14 CD V7742 (0-200 R) DRDs. In summary, the box contained four fewer 0-200 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list and four more 0-20 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list..

RECOMMENDATION: Inventories should be checked against the Radiological Equipment Distribution sheet by a second person.

PEMA Response: Schedule of Corrective Actions; The Douglass Township dosimetry inventory has been checked and adjusted as appropriate to be consistent with the Radiological Equipment Distribution Sheet.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: Montgomery County officials will review and correct any inventory and documentation discrepancies. In late 2009, Montgomery County officials began working with Douglass Township Administration to replace the current Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC). A candidate has been identified by Douglass Township in the first quarter of 2010. After the new EMC is officially appointed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a full plan review will be completed and any discrepancies corrected.

Radiological Planner/ Trainer 610-632-6524 2010-11-17 II7-ISSUE: Discrepancies exist between the dosimetry information on the emergency worker radiological briefing videotape and the Risk Township Radiological Emergency. Response Plans.

RECOMMENDATION: Revise the radiological briefing videotape and Dosimetry-KI Report Form to reflect current information.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: The Commonwealth Emergency Operations Plan and the Commonwealth Nuclear Power Plant Incident Annex (Annex E) are currently underg6ing revision including aspects related to dosimetry, forms, exposure limits, etc. The commonwealth and contributing stakeholders (REP counties and utilities) will work to address the apparent discrepancies. The videotape was not produced by the commonwealth. Future use and proposed modifications to the videotape and referenced materials are currently under review. In the interim, clarification statements have been provided to supplement the emergency worker radiological briefing (rad briefing). Modifications to the rad briefing will be available for inspection during the nextannual plan review.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: REASON UNRESOLVED: Planning issue 35-07-3.a.l-P-01 has partially been corrected by PEMA by issuance of a new videotape to the Risk Counties to be used by them to brief Emergency Workers on emergency worker exposure control. In addition, Pennsylvania Annex E, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Response to Nuclear Power Plant Incidents, Change 4 dated March 2002, to the State Emergency Operations Plan is currently undergoing a major revision. PEMA has provided interim guidance in a memo dated April 6, 2009 to be used until all necessary changes have been made and incorporated into Annex E. Until all of the changes are made and incorporated into Annex E, this issue will remain unresolved.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: When the issue was presented in 2007 the recommendation was to "Revise the radiological briefing videotape and Dosimetry-KI Report Form to reflect current information." Both of these items have been addressed. Additionally, other electronic and specific 3-part hardcopy forms were updated and provided to the various participating agencies to ensure continuity of plans. It is also true that Annex E of the State Emergency Operation Plan is currently undergoing a major revision and that PEMA had issued the interim guidance dated April 6, 2009. The interim guidance coupled with the updated video and forms should insure that such discrepancies, as stated in the issue above, are resolved.

b. Support counties may likewiserequest approvalto stand-down upon completion of all evaluated objectives from the state EOC.
c. The risk county EOC will remain operational until the exercise is officially terminated by the State Lead Controller. The State EOC Will issue an Exercise Termination Message.
12. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in th6 emergency plan maybe applicable for a given scenario.

The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so th at the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment 'applied..

13. Re-demonstrations.

Any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the.exercise, provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise.

Refresher training maybe provided by the players, observers, and/or controllers.

Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. Re-demonstrations will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluators. PEMA may advise the RAC Chair prior to initiating any re-demonstrations. It is permissible to extend the demonstration window, within reason, to accommodate the re-demonstration. Activities corrected from a re-demonstration will be so noted.

  • Individuals working in statefacilities and county EOCs may be pre-positionedfor the plume phase.

Sub-element 1.b - Facilities INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have facilities to support the emergency response.

Criterion 1.b;l: Facilities are sufficient to support the emergency response.

(NUREG-0654, H.3)

EXTENT OF PLAY Facilities will only be specifically evaluated for this criterion if they are new or have substantial changes in structure or mission. Responsible OROs!should demonstrate the availability of facilities that support the accomplishment of emergency operations. Some of the areas to be considered are: adequate space, furnishings, lighting, restrooms, ventilation, backup. power and/or alternate facility (if required. to support operations.).

Facilities must be set up based on the ORO's plans and procedures and demonstrated as they would be used in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Criterion 1.c.1: Key personnel with leadership roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which theyare responsible.

(NUREG-0654, A.l.d; A.2.a, b) 139

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station EXTENT OF PLAY Leadership personnel should demonstrate the ability to carry out essential functions of the response effort, for example: keeping the staff informed through periodic briefings and/or other means, coordinating with other appropriate OROs, and ensuring completion of requirements and requests.

All activities associated with direction and control must be performed based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise noted above or indicated in the extent of play agreement.

PEMA NegotiatedExtent of Play: None Sub-element 1.d - Communications Equipment INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) 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 (EPZ), Federal emergency response organizations, the licensee and its facilities, emergency operations centers (EOC), and field teams.

Criterion 1.d.l: At least two communication systems are available, at least one operates properly, and communication links are established and maintained with appropriate locations. Communications capabilities are managed in support of emergency operations. (NUREG-0654, F.1, 2)

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs 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 OROs 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.

OROs should ensure that a coordinated communication link for fixed and mobile medical support facilities exists. The specific communications capabilities of OROs should be commensurate with that specified in the response 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.

Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers areý the 'recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates emergency workers may be Oermitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration Total Effective Dose Equivalentor organ-specific limits): identified in the ORO's plans and procedures. " .

Criterion 2.a.l: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides.

(ORO) have the capability to use all available data to independently project integrated dose and compare the estimated dose savinigs.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 ORO's 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 (for example, other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

Criterion 2.b.l: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654, 1.8, 10 and Supplement 3)

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 144 a

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 ORO's 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.

Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

Criterion 2.c.1: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups. (NUREG-0654, J.9, J.10.d,e)

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 KII should be considered by the OROs.

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. Contacts with public school systems/districts must be actual.

In accordance with plans and/or procedures, OROs and/or officials of pubic school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students.

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.a,b) 147

0 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station EXTENT OF PLAY OROs 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 (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 1 1 ORO's plans and procedures.

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 shoulddemonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during theý exercise as indicated in ýthe 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 theevent authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (for example, 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, for example, 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.

After Action Report/improvement Plan Limerick.Generating, Station INTENT This sub-element derives 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 measure 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.

Criterion 4.a.l: The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates. (NUREG-0654, H.10; 1.7, 8, 9).

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 the ORO's 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.

Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protectiveactions or to'be a factor in modifyingprotective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such locations, at suchtimes 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 OROs, 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 ORO's 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.

(NUREG-0654, J.10.h, J.12)--

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 inan 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 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 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 (for example, cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility (facilities). However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

Criterion 6.d.1: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654, F.2; H.10; K.5, a, b; L.1,4)

EXTENT OF PLAY Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts will not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

Offsite Response Organizations'(ORO) 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 prior to 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.

Monitoring of the victim may be performed prior to transport, done enroute, or deferred to the medical facility. Prior to using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities should be completed, as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate contamination control 171

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station measures should be demonstrated prior to:and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to activate and set up 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 ORO's 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. Frequency for Evaluation of New Criteria.

Sub-element 6.d - Transportation and Treatment of Contaminated Injured Individuals This sub-element will be evaluated at Lehigh Yalley Hospital, Lehigh County on June 10, 2009.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station APPENDIX 5:

Planning Issues This appendix contains the planning issues, assessed during the August 7, 2007, exercise for the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) and those outstanding from earlier exercises. Planning issues are items 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:

  • 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.
  • 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.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Issue Number: 35-07-3.a.1-P-01 Condition: Discrepancies exist between the dosimetry information on the emergency worker radiological briefing videotape and the Risk Township Radiological Emergency Response Plans.

Possible Cause: The emergency worker radiological briefing videotape states that 0-200 R Direct Reading Dosimeters (DRD) are no longer used. Workers are advised to disregard the 0-200 R DRD section of the Dosimetry-KI Report Form.

The Township Radiological Emergency Response Plans include the following information, "A supply of 0-200 Roentgen DRDs has been established at the county and each risk municipality. These would be issued in the extremely unlikely event of a life-saving mission requirement in a known, high radiation area."

186 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station The videotape also includes a briefing on emergency worker exposure limits. The tape covers the requirement-to obtain approval from the County Radiological Officer prior to exceeding 5 Rem. The Dosimetry-KI Report Form that was provided to emergency workers in a township states,:'Do not exceed 25 R cumulative total", but does not provide instructions for the 5 R limit.

References:

  • Colebrookdale Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan, section G.6, Municipal Emergency Workers;
  • Dosimetry-KI Report Form, PEMA BOP-REP-3 (4/97).

Effect: Emergency Workers maynot be aware that they need a 0-200 R dosimeter to monitor their exposure when -responding to life-saving activities in high exposure. rate, areas. .

Recommendation: Revise the radiological briefing videotape and Dosimetry-KI Report Form to reflect current information.

Schedule of CorrectiVe Actions:. The Commonwealth Emergency Operations Plan and the Commonwealth Nuclear Power Plant Incident Annex (Annex E) are currently undergoing revision including aspects related to dosimetry, forms, exposure limits, etc. The commonwealth and contributing stakeholders (REP counties and utilities) will work to address the apparent discrepancies. The videotape was not produced by the commonwealth. Future use and proposed modifications to the videotape and referenced materials are currently under review. In the interim, clarification statements have been provided to supplement the emergency worker radiological briefing (radiological briefing). Modifications to the radiological briefing will be available for inspection during the next annual plan review.

Berks County Monitoring/Decontamination Center (Antietam Junior & Senior High School)

Issue Number: 35-07-6.a.l-P-02 Condition: The Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOP #13 for Antietam Senior High School Mass Care Center (MCC) for the mass care monitoring and decontamination center was not sufficient to enable effective contamination control.

187

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Possible Cause: Schematics did not provide demarcation between clean and contaminated areas. Specifically, this included hallways for male and female transit to locker rooms for decontamination, and within the locker rooms. The locker room schematics did not include specific areas for step-off pads, monitoring locations, and radioactive waste receptacles. Additionally, radioactive material signs, directional signs, and informational signs for evacuees, as well as stanchions and rope to delineate walkways were not available.

The Mass Care Decontamination Station Traffic Flow schematic did not indicate a location for initial vehicle monitoring or vehicle decontamination location.

Currently, the Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Annex E, Appendix 13 specifies personnel and vehicle contamination limits with regard to loose and fixed contamination, including specification of the probe to be used for contamination monitoring. SOP # 13 is not consistent with the Berks County Plan in that personnel and vehicle contamination limits do not specify loose and fixed contamination, and does not specify the probe to be used for contamination monitoring.

The vehicle contamination limit of 1,000 counts per minute (cpm), without reference to loose or fixed, could result in an evacuee becoming contaminated at levels above the 300 cpm individual contamination limit. For example, a vehicle is monitored at 900 cpm and determined to be clean. If this is loose contamination, then an evacuee could then re-enter the vehicle and become contaminated above the individual limit of 300 cpm.

  • FEMA REP-22, Contamination Monitoring Guidance for Portable Instruments Used for Radiological Emergency Response to Nuclear Power Plant Accidents; 0 Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Annex E, Appendix 13, Attachment B, Tab 1.

Effect: Without adequate schematics, facility setup for mass care monitoring and decontamination could not be consistently established. This could lead to cross-contamination or re-contamination of evacuees.

Recommendation: Develop updated facility schematics within SOP #13 to reflect demarcation between clean and contaminated areas, including hallways for 188

Berks County Monitoring/Decontamination Center (Kutztown Area Senior High School)

Issue Number: 35-07-6.a.1-P-04 189

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Condition: The Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, SOP #9 for Kutztown Senior High School Mass Care Center (MCC) for the mass care monitoring and decontamination center was not sufficient to enable effective contamination control.

Possible Cause: Schematics did not provide demarcation between clean and contaminated areas. Specifically, this included hallways for male and female transit to locker rooms for decontaimination, and within the locker rooms. The locker room schematics did not include specific areas for step-off pads, monitoring locations, and radioactive~waste receptacles. Additionally, radioactive

'material signs, directional signs, and informational signs for evacuees, as well as stanchions and rope to delineate walkways were not available.

The Mass Care Decontamination Station Traffic Flow schematic did not indicate a location for initial vehicle monitoring or vehicle decontamination location.

Currently, the Berks County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Annex E, Appendix 13 specifies personnel and vehicle contamination limits with regard to

-. loose and fixed contaminations including specification of the probe to be used for contamination monitoring. SOP #9 is not consistent with the Berks County Plan in that personnel and vehicle contamination limits do not specify loose and fixed contamination, and does not specify the probe to be used for contamination monitoring. Neither document is in compliance. with FEMA REP-22, Table 3.

The-vehicle contamination limit of 1,000 cpm, without reference to loose or fixed, could result in an evacuee becoming contaminated at levels above the 300 cpm individual contamination limit. For example, a vehicle is monitored at 900 cpm and determined to be clean. If this is loose contamination,, then an evacuee could then re-enter the vehicle and become contaminated above the individual limit of 300 cpm.

Douglas Township Emergency Operations Center 191

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Issue Number: 35-07-1.e.1-P-06 Condition: The Radiological Equipment Distribution sheet provided with dosimetry at the Douglass Township was incomplete and inaccurate. It was dated July 2007.for distribution, but did not have any information about when the direct-reading dosimeters (DRDs),were last leak tested. Additionally, the sheet does not include the serial numbers of the permanent record dosimeters (PRDs).

The Radiological Equipment Distribution sheet indicated that the box contained 44 Model DCA-622 (0-20 R) DRDs and 18 Model CD V-742 (0-200 R) DRDs.

An inspection of the inventory indicated that included 39 Model DCA-622 (0-20 R) DRDs; 5 Arrow-Tech Model 730, (0-20 R),DRDS 4 Model CD V-730 (0-20 R)

DRDs, and 14 CD V-742 (0-200QR) DRDs. In summary, the box contained four fewer 0-200 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list and four more 0-20 R DRDs than indicated on the inventory list.

Possible Cause: The individual DRDs do not have stickers indicating when they were last .leak tested, making it difficult to document that they have been leak tested, without additional documentation. The inaccurate inventory list is possible due to the similarities in appearance of the Model CD V-742 (0-200 R) DRD and the Model CD V-730 (0-20R) DRD..,

Reference:

0 Douglass County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP),

Attachment K, Emergency Worker Dosimetry-KI List.

Effect: The potential use of DRDs that haven't been. leak tested could. increase the likelihood that DRDs would give erroneous readings and an over-estimation of someone's actual exposure. This could limit the availability of emergency workers who would be removed from their mission beforetheir exposure limit had been reached.

Recommendation: Inventories should be checked against the Radiological 0 Equipment Distribution sheet by a second person.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: The Douglass Township dosimetry inventory has been checked and adjusted as appropriate to be consistent with the Radiological Equipment Distribution Sheet.

Royersford Borough Emergency Operations Center Issue Number: 35-07-1.e.1-P-07 192

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Condition: The informational chart displayed on the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) wall was out of date. Specifically the Montgomery County rumor control number was incorrect.

Possible Cause: Failure of the Emergenicy Coordinator to update information and cross reference information found. on the Exelon fact sheet for Limerick Generating Station (LGS) and the Royersford Borough Annex E.

References:

Effect: Residents calling the RoyersfordEOC for information would be referred to an un-workingnumber,. instead of the correct number of 610-631-9700. This would result in delaysin the public obtaining information, which may or may not be critical.

Recommendation: Update written materials frequently and cross-reference the.

informationwith other information documents related to LGS. Examples would be the Royersford Borough Annex E, Monftgomery County Annex E, and LGS yearly information data" which is circulated to thepublic annually.

Schedule of Corrective Actions:*As:o.f 8/9/07,;all Royersford EOC information charts and materials have been reviewed and updated. Outdated information materials have been discarded and/or replaced as appropriate.

Royersford Borough Route Alerting Issue Number: 35-07-3.a.1-P-08 Condition: Attachment K to the Royersford RERP lists pre-distributed dosimetry, KI, and Area Kits being available at a number of locations in the Borough (Fire Companies, Police Station, Public Works, etc.). No such equipment was available at the Friendship Fire Company Station. According to the Friendship Fire Company Chief, this equipment for all of the listed locations has been consolidated in the Royersford EOC.

Possible Cause: Emergency Plan is not up to date.

Reference:

Effect: There was no observed consequence from the erroneous information in the Montgomery County Emergency Plan, since this particular aspect of the plan did not appear to be consulted during the exercise. Based on interview, exercise 193

0 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station participants knew that all of the dosimetry, KI and Area Kits had been consolidated at the Royersford EOC.

Recommendation: The emergency plan should be updated to correct this discrepancy.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: Attachment K was reviewed and determined to be consistent with the EOC's understanding and intent. The term "pre-distribution" is recognized as equipment and materials that are "pre-distributed" to the local EOC. All participating organizations (municipal based fire companies, EMS units, Police, Public Works) understand they are to.receive their distribution from their local EOC. The information in Attachment K will be further examined and clarified, if deemed appropriate, during the next.annual plan review.

Lehigh County Reception Center (Southern Lehigh High School)

Issue Number: 35-07-6.a.1-P-09 Condition: There were no procedures for the reception center staff to follow.

Possible Cause: No procedures exist or not present at the reception center.

Reference:

NUREG-0654, J. 12.

Effect: Reception center staff did not know the scope of their responsibilities.

They also did not know where to call when they were posed with a question they did not know how to answer. As they did not have procedures, they may be been performing tasks that were to have been done by other personnel in the decontamination/monitoring/mass care/reception center facility.

. i Recommendation: Develop procedures for the reception center.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: Reception Center procedures were presented for inspection and use during the Lehigh County Radiological Officer briefing re-demonstration conducted on 9/25/07.

Berks County Schools - Daniel Boone Area School District Issue Number: 35-07-3.c.2-P-10 Condition: The Daniel Boone Area School District Radiological Emergency Response Plan, in Attachment 1, page 2, states that Amity Intermediate School requires zero buses for evacuation.

194

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station Possible Cause: The Daniel Boone Area School District Radiological Emergency Response Plan has not been updated to reflect the estimated school population.

Reference:

NUREG-0654, J.l0.d.

Effect: Sufficient buses may not arrive in a timely fashion to evacuate the school population if the numbers in Table 1 would be used to determine bus counts rather than the school census called in by the school principal to the district Superintendent.

Recommendation: Update the Daniel Boone Area School District Radiological Emergency Response Plan.

Schedule of Corrective Actions: The Daniel Boone Area School District RERP is currently under review and will be updated by January 1, 2008 to reflect the appropriate number of buses to support the Amity Intermediate School population. Plans and procedures will be available for inspection during the next annual plan review.

Berks County Schools - Daniel Boone Area School District, Amity Intermediate Center Issue Number: 35-07-3.c.2-P-11 Condition: The Amity Intermediate Center Plan is not up to date in numerous places. Attachment 1, page 2, indicates the school requires zero buses for evacuation. The principal indicated he would need approximately 15 buses to evacuate the school (estimated b/c he is still enrolling students for the upcoming year). The plan's Transportation Summary is from the 1998/1999 School year and Amity is not on the list at all.

In Tab 12, the maps for evacuation are illegible (text is VERY small and blurry).

There are also no highlighted streets, indicating a route or turn-by-turn directions and there is no date on the map.

The "Notice of Movement" flyer reads that the school has been evacuated to the Daniel Boone Junior/Senior High School with the correct phone number. There is no longer a Daniel Boone Jr/Sr High School - it is only a Daniel Boone Sr. High School. There is also no address nor directions to the facility. The 'Notice of Movement' flyer is placed on the school doors indicating to parents where the students may be picked up.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Limerick Generating Station In Tabs 1 and 2, the Phone list and the Emergency Contact list, are both from the 2003/2004 school year.

Possible Cause:, The School implementation plans have not been updated on a regular basis.

References:

NUREG-0654, J.10.d, g.

Effect: The effects: of the plan not being updated are numerous and include buses not arrive ina timely fashion to evacuate the students and staff; staff and bus drivers may be unfamiliar with the evacuation route, and without readable maps, arrival at the Host Community could be delayed; parents arriving at Amity School may be unaware that the Daniel Boone Jr/Sr HighSchool was recently renamed the Daniel Boone Sr. High School; They may not know where the Daniel Boone Sr. High School is located and this may cause concern or panic among the parents. Staff may have changed phone numbers~or changed entirely and are not on the list. If the correct:phone numbers are not inthe plan, then they cannot be reached in a timely manner.

Recommendation: Update the school plans. -

Schedule of Corrective Actions: The Daniel Boone Area School District RERP is currently under review and will be updated by January. 1, 2008 to address all of the above enumerated effects as appropriate. Plans and procedures will be available for inspection during the next annual plan review.,

Berks County Schools - Daniel Boone Area School District, Daniel Boone Middle School Issue Number: 35-07-3.c.2-P-12 Condition: The Radiological Emergency Response Plan atDaniel Boone Middle School is from 2003 and does not include the fact that the school is now considered a risk school by theDaniel Boone Area School District.

Possible Cause: Daniel Boone Middle School has moved to a new school building since 2003. The new building is technically located outside the 10-mile EPZ, but is in close proximity to two other schools that are inside the 10-mile EPZ. The school district has opted to consider Daniel Boone Middle School as a risk school to avoid the confusion of having two risk schools located very close to a non-risk school. The Radiological Emergency Response Plan at the middle school has not been updated to reflect the change in status of the new middle school as a risk school from its previous designation as a non-risk school.
