I. Executive Summary On May 5, 2009, a full-scale plume exercise was conducted in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway, emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
Region II. The purpose of the exercise and the out-of-sequence demonstrations was to assess the level of State and local 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 May 22, 2007. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 21, 1982.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of New York and the risk jurisdictions of Monroe and Wayne 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.
This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

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. 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 contingent, 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:
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; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993; and Coordinating the activities of 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 II Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

A REP exercise was conducted on May 22, 2007 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 Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station. 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 II 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:
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; FEMA Guidance Memoranda MS-1, "Medical Services," November 1986; FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991; 66 FR 47546, "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Alert and Notification,"
September 12, 2001; and 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.

1II. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the May 05, 2009 exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station. 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 EPZ Description The Robert E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station site is located on the South shore of Lake Ontario, in the township of Ontario, in the Northwest corner of Wayne County, New York.
The surface of the land on the southern shore of Lake Ontario at the site and East and West of it is either flat or gently rolling. It slopes upward to the South from an elevation of about 225 feet above mean sea level near the edge of the lake; to 440 feet at Ridge Road (New York State Highway 104) 32 miles South of the lake; and then to about 1,600 feet at the Northern edge of the Appalachian Plateau, 30 to 40 miles to the South. Southward from Ridge Road, the terrain progressively roughens, with a series of small abrupt hills, commencing about 10 miles south of the site.
There are no public highways or railroads that traverse the site area.
Monroe County Monroe County is bordered by Orleans and Genesee Counties to the West, by Livingston and Ontario Counties to the South, by Wayne County to the East and by Lake Ontario to the North. There are many manufacturing activities centered in and around the city of Rochester. Approximately 22% of the County's 67 square miles is in urban development, about 28% is vacant, wooded or water surface and 50% is farmland. Of Monroe County's workers, 45% are employed in manufacturing, 20% in service industries, 16% in retail, 1.4% in agriculture and the remainder in other activities.
The population of Monroe County is dispersed among the City of Rochester, nineteen towns and ten villages. In terms of population size and growth, Monroe is number one in the 8-county Genesee/Finger Lakes Region.
6
Wayne County Ginna Station is located in the Town of Ontario in the Northwest comer of Wayne County. Wayne County is bordered by Monroe County to the West, by Ontario and Seneca Counties to the South, by Cayuga County to the east and Lake Ontario to the north.
Since its settlement in the 19th Century, Wayne County has been predominately rural in character. The Northern portion of the county, especially the area between Ridge Road and Lake Ontario, is primarily orchards. Cherries, pears and apples are the chief crops produced. In the Southeastern portion of the County highly productive muck lands can be found that produce, for the most part, corn, potatoes and onions. In the Southwest, grains such as corn, oats and wheat are grown. Dairy farms are also located throughout the County. Roughly 70% of the county's 600 square miles is utilized for approximately 2,500 farms. About 34% of the County's workers are employed in manufacturing operations; 18% in service industries; 16% in retail trade; 19% in agriculture and 13% in other occupations.
The population is dispersed among fifteen towns and eleven villages. Many residents of the Western portion of Wayne County (including the four EPZ towns) commute to jobs in Monroe County.

B. 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.
" 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.
- Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included 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.
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."
17
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 (-).
- Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
- Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
- Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP Exercise Evaluation Methodology.
- Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
- Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: ONE ISSUE NO: 27-07-3.a.1-A-01 ISSUE: An emergency worker, a New York State Trooper, was not aware of what actions to take in the event his self-reading dosimeter (SRD) read 5 R and he was unable to report the reading. Several times, when asked what he would do in this circumstance, the Trooper replied that he would remain at his assigned duty location, but did not seem to know to report to his supervisor atl R, 3 R, and off scale exposures.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The New York State Trooper interviewed for this Emergency Worker Exposure Control demonstration clearly understood the dosimetry procedures and how to read and record Self Reading Dosimeters (SRD). The Trooper arrived at the Wayne County EOC with his issued EW packet and equipment operational. His exposure record card was filled out and up to date with SRD entries. The Trooper clearly understood all aspects of Emergency Worker exposure control and to follow his agency's plans and procedures for reporting SRD readings to his Supervisor.

- a. MET: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 5.b.1
- b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE ISSUE NO: 27-09-5.a.1-A-01 CONDITION: Follow-on faxes sent by the WC PIO staff at the JIC to EAS Station WHAM were never received at WHAM. The JIC fax machine generated a receipt for the sent faxes and it was assumed, incorrectly, that this report was a confirmation and the faxes had been received at the station.
Upon scrutiny, after the exercise terminated, it was discovered that they, in fact, had not gone through. When dialing out from the JIC, one of the two telephone systems requires dialing a 9 for an outside line. The WC PIO Assistant did this with the fax and consequently, the last number dialed was dropped off because the 9 was not needed on the fax line.
20
The printed report actually showed that the fax had not been transmitted; there had been a busy signal. The printed information showed the number dialed with the last number dropped.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: There was not a clear understanding of what systems required dialing a 9 prior to the number to obtain an outside line. Further, the assumption that the printed report was a positive confirmation the fax had been received was incorrect. A follow-up telephone call to the EAS Station is indicated in the procedures and this was not done. Also, the printed report was not looked at when it was received. Had it been read the Assistant PIO would have seen the fax had not gone through and could have resolved the problem.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, E. 5.,7., G.3.a., G.4,a.,b.,c.Joint Information Center Procedures, EAS Message Preparation Procedures(rev. 05.04.09 EFFECT: The EAS Station did not have current up to date information to broadcast to the public.
RECOMMENDATION: Determine which telephones and faxes actually require dialing a 9 for an outside line and mark these instruments clearly. Train anyone using faxes to review any reports generated by the fax machine to verify successful transmission. Upon arrival at the JIC, send a test fax to the WC EOC or the EAS Station to confirm successful transmission prior to any vital information being sent later.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: To be demonstrated at the next federally-evaluated biennial exercise.
- c. DEFICIENCY: ONE ISSUE NO: 27-09-5.a.1-D-01 CONDITION: EAS Message #1 could not be transmitted to the EAS station (WHAM) in time for broadcast at 1015, following the siren activation at 1011.
The message did not go out until 27 minutes after it was supposed to have been broadcast.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The designated telephone at the EAS Station, WHAM, was busy when the Wayne County (WC) EAS recorder called at 1005 to give them a "heads up" that the EAS message would be coming soon. She then contacted the WC EOC and reported the telephone situation to the EMD.
At about 1005 the Assistant WC PIO contacted a different radio station in the same building as the EAS station and requested someone walk to WHAM and ask the News Manager to call her at the JIC.
21
EAS Message #2 had a decision time of 0900. The siren time was scheduled for 0911 with an EAS broadcast to follow at 0915.
After verifying the content of the EAS Message, the Wayne County PIO Representative at the JIC called the EAS Radio Station (WHAM) from an EAS designated telephone in the EAS/Communications Room (0906). The Wayne County PIO Representative at the JIC completed the recording of the EAS Message at 0909 and verified that the EAS Radio Station would be able to broadcast the message at 0915.
The remedial exercise successfully demonstrated that the communication systems between the JIC and EAS Radio Station have been restored.
Subsequently the New York State Emergency Management Office (NY SEMO) submitted revised "Joint Information Center (JIC) Procedures, R.E. Ginna (Revised 10/05/09)". The updated procedure successfully addressed the recommendations following the remedial exercise, including designating Wayne County as the responsible party for preparation and dissemination of EAS messages during a radiological incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Station.
Specific EAS responsibilities are described on page 9 of the JIC Procedures (Revised 10/05/09) for the Wayne County Spokesperson, Wayne County PIO, and for Wayne County's PIO Administrative Support staff.
The revised JIC procedure also addresses the issue of a communications failure at the JIC to ensure that an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message is broadcast to the public in a timely manner. On page 9 of the JIC Procedures, under "Exceptional Situations," it states that if the JIC is not able to contact the LP-1 station, Monroe County and Wayne County will coordinate over the Executive Hotline and Monroe County will use their dedicated telephone line to the LP-I station to relay the EAS message.

PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: ONE ISSUE NO: 27-07-5.b.1-A-02 ISSUE: During the exercise, two fax transmissions were sent from the Joint Information Center (JIC) to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio station, while all other means of communication to the station were being simulated. The faxes were of EAS message #2 and a follow-up Special News Release. This created confusion at the station on proper actions to take.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Wayne County Assistant PIO faxed only the fax cover sheet for EAS # 2 and the Follow on Special News Release to WHAM, the EAS radio station. This was in accordance with her procedures and corrects this ARCA. The fax transmission did not go through to the station due to incorrect entry of the telephone number, resulting in a different issue.

- b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE ISSUE NO.: 27-09-4.a.1-A-02 CONDITION: Operational checks were performed on the Eberline instruments by the Wayne County Field Monitoring Team (WCFMT) using one unlabeled check source maintained at the Wayne County Emergency Operations Center (WCEOC). The field team member performing the operational checks did not know the material or activity of the check source.
Procedure 12 - Field Monitoring, Rev. 15 - 2/01/09, which was included in the team's kit, specifies a one microcurie Cs-137 source for the Eberline E-140N and an eight microcurie Cs-137 source for the Eberline R020.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: One of the two operational check sources and the label for the remaining source have been lost. The field team member performing the operational checks assumed that the one source could be used for both instruments and that the response to the check source was not important.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654 H. 10.; Wayne County Plan Procedure 12 EFFECT: Using an unknown check source does not provide sufficient information to determine that instruments are operating correctly. Without knowing the activity of the check source the operator can not determine if the instrument is responding appropriately or if it is reading high or low. If the instrument is reading incorrectly then excessive or inadequate protective actions may be recommended.
RECOMMENDATION: Locate the correct sources for the instruments, as specified in the procedures, label them appropriately and store them securely.
Train field team members to verify that the instruments are reading in the expected range when the correct check source is used.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: To be demonstrated at the next federally-evaluated biennial exercise.

- b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: ONE ISSUE: 27-09-6.a. 1-A-03 CONDITION: At the Newark High School in Wayne County where the general population reception center is established, 20% of the 9492 anticipated evacuees, or 1898 people, could not be processed in a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period. The one SAIC portal processed 6 persons in 4 minutes, which works out to 90 in an hour, and 1080 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Therefore, the ability to monitor expected evacuees in a timely manner at this facility fell short by 818 evacuees.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failure to process the appropriate number of evacuees at a rate that would accommodate the total number of anticipated evacuees within a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period. The rate at which people passed through the portal monitor was slowed due to the Civil Air Patrol who were training staff at the Reception Center.
REFERENCE:
NUREG J.l0.h; J.12; K.5.b EFFECT: The reception center would be overloaded with evacuees waiting outside the facility to be processed, placing undue stress on the evacuees and the workers trying to process them.
RECOMMENDED CORRECTIVE ACTION: Staff should be trained prior to the exercise and not during the exercise, when training activities can result in slowed processing times.

AND TIMELINE Scenario Assumptions A. Scenario operations data was empirically derived to provide the minimum necessary information considered necessary to provide the maximum training opportunity.
B. Radiological data was empirically derived to support the objectives of the scenario.
3.2 Initial Conditions
- 1. The R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant has been operating continuously for the past 9 months. The Reactor Coolant System boron concentration is 1048 ppm.
Plant core burn up is 10,000 MTUIMTW.
Boric Acid Storage Tank concentration is 17,300 ppm.
- 2. The plant is currently operating at approximately 68% rated thermal power.
The "A" heater drain tank pump tripped out which required plant power to be reduced. The pump has been repaired and has recently been started.
Maintenance is monitoring the pump operability prior to turning it over to Operations.
General weather conditions are partly cloudy with no current precipitation. For purposes of the Evaluated Exercise, additional meteorological information should be obtained from the plant process computer system (PPCS) and the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
- 3. The plant is in a 50-50 electrical line up
- 4. The "A" Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) oil level has been slowly lowering over the past month. Engineering, Maintenance, Radiation Protection and Operations, using Fleet Procedure CNG-OP-1.01-1001 Operational Decision Making, developed a strategy to replenish the oil and inspect the oil collection 78
system in containment. The strategies were reviewed by the station ALARA Committee and senior station management. A containment entry is scheduled for later today to verify the leak and to fill the upper oil pot.
Narrative Scenario Summary The Evaluated Exercise begins at the simulator with the simulator crew accepting the watch at 07:30. The plant is operating at 68% rated thermal power.
About 07:55, a 100 gpm leak on the "B" loop of the reactor coolant system due to RCP vibrations. The leak is contained within the reactor containment building. This meets the criteria for the classification of an Alert based on EAL 3.1.2 "Primary System Leakage >46 gpm". Operators should implement EPIP 1-2 "Alert". The entire Ginna ERO will be activated at this time.
About 08:45, the "C" Containment Recirc fan trips. The TSC &
OSC should dispatch an Assessment and Repair Team.
About 9:25, the reactor coolant system leak increases in size to 10,000gpm.
This causes an automatic reactor trip. On the reactor trip, the turbine does not automatically trip.
Due to high steam flow, the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) automatically go closed. The 3 Safety injection pumps start to deliver water to the reactor coolant system. Containment pressure increases above 28 psig. One of the two containment spray pumps does not start on the auto-start signal due to a breaker problem. The 3 remaining fans for the containment fan coolers either trip or do not start automatically and cannot be started manually.
Due to the large leak, Reactor Vessel Level Indicating System (RVLIS) level drops below 77%.
This meets the criteria of a Site Area Emergency based on EAL 3.1.3 "RVLIS cannot be maintained >77% with no RCPs running". Operators should implement EPIP 1-3 "Site Area Emergency".
About 09:35, the "A" Motor Driven Auxiliary Feed water pump trips while running. Operators should take actions to provide adequate feed water flow to the steam generators. The TSC &
OSC should dispatch an Assessment and Repair Team.
About 10:30, the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) level reaches 15%. The operators align the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system from the injection mode to the recirculation mode.
When the RHR system is placed in the recirculation mode, the containment radiation monitors (R-29 & R-30) begin to increase.
About 10:50, the containment radiation monitors increase above 100 Whr.
This meets the criteria for a General Emergency based on EAL 4.1.4 "Safety injection signal due to LOCA with less than minimum operable containment heat removal equipment (0 containment recirc fans and I containment spray pump) AND Containment radiation monitor (R-29/30) reading
>1 00 Whr".

Protective Action Recommendations are required.
About 11:30, a leak develops on the discharge of the "A" RHR pump. This results in elevated auxiliary building radiation levels and elevated readings on the plant vent effluent monitors. A release to the environment starts. The release magnitude is large enough so that dose assessment calculations will require Protective Actions to be recommended beyond 5 miles downwind of the plant.
About 13:00, the RHR system leak is stopped. Plant vent effluent monitors and auxiliary building area radiation monitors start to decrease.
About 13:30 the plant vent effluent monitors have decreased to near background. The release to the environment is terminated.
The Evaluated Exercise will be terminated when the opportunity to demonstrate performance objectives have been provided. A critique will occur in each facility after Evaluated Exercise termination.
Ten (10) Evaluated Drill and Exercise opportunities will be counted in this Evaluated Exercise. They are:
