Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness", 351 "Radiological Emergency Planning. and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning."
These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/FEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments' participation in-joint exercises with licensees.
DHS/FEMA'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 RERPs and procedures developed by Statend local governments;
- Determining whether suchjplans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;
- Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and
- Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant 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: A radiation technician performed an improper hand survey demonstration of a contaminated (simulated) evacuee at the out-of-sequence demonstration of evacuee monitoring and decontamination. The technician used a CD V-700 probe with a pancake probe and moved the probe too fast (8-10 inches per minute, estimated) and at a distance of several inches from the body.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The technician did not properly apply the training that had been issued.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, J.10.h., K.5.b EFFECT: Evacuees with areas of contamination on their bodies could have been released from the facility and couldIhav i

K.5.b)
CONDITION: The Allegan County Procedures for Public Reception/Decontamination Centers, dated February 2010, assigns the responsibility for evacuee vehicle exterior decontamination to the fire services within the County.
This is found in the SOP for Station #8, Vehicle Decontamination Station, pages 31-44
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant 35.
However, it is Allegan County's understanding that the State of Michigan, Department of Environmental Quality, is responsible for this function.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Previous versions of Allegan County's SOPs for Public Reception/Decontamination Centers did not require Allegan County to decontaminate evauees' vehicles. Either this change has not yet been incorporated into Allegan County planning, or the Allegan County's SOPs need to be modified to indicate that the State of Michigan is responsible for evacuee vehicle decontamination.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654 Sec. J.12 (Requires setting standards for decontamination)
EFFECT: Vehicles belonging to the evacuating public that could have otherwise been washed and decontaminated t (lthie Reception/Decontamination Center are now impounded in a contaminate&dparking area.
RECOMMENDATION: Allegan County prepare to implement Station #8 SOP of it's new procedure, or; State of MichiganJimplement Station #8 SOP in Allegan County.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant APPENDIX E: EXERCISE PLAN This appendix lists the exercise criteria, which were scheduled for demonstration in the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on March 2, 2010, and the offsite extent-of-play agreement accepted by DHS/FEMA Region V on January 29, 2010. The exercise criteria, contained in the FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice," as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revl, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980. Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by the State and accepted by DHS/FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria.
Exercise Criteria Listed on the following pages are the specific, hdioi6gical emergency preparedness criteria that were scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant APPENDIX F: SCENARIO DETAILS This appendix contains a summary of the Exercise Scenario, a simulated sequence of events, that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) in the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise on March 2,2010.
Results of a technical review of the scenario, submitted by the State of Michigan and Entergy Corporation on January 4, 2010, indicated that the scenario was adequate to support demonstration of Department of Homeland Security's requirements, as well as criteria selected by the Offsite Response Organizations provided in the State's January 4, 2010, extent-of-play submission.
This exercise scenario was accepted by DHS/FEMA Region V on December 23, 2009.
During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the PNNP onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Michigan gave "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. The inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.
DHS/FEMA concurred with the offsite scenario and extent-pf-play submission for the State of Michigan, Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren Counties for the Mairh 2, 2010 Biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise for the Palisades Nuclear PoweriPlant.
PALISADES ONSITE EXERCISE SCENARIO The plant is operating at 100% power, equilibrium xenon, 736ppm boron, ASI on target and has been for the last 10 months. High.Pressure Safety *nje-tion P-66B is Out of Service (OOS) for pump oil change.
Technical Specification (T.S.) LCO 13.5.2 has been in effect since 0600 with a return to Operations by 1200 on 3/02/2010 - same :day. The plant is currently in Action Level 2 for PCS Activity due to suspected minor fuel failure(s).'
A 150 gallon per minute (gpm) Primary Coolant System (PCS) leak will occur. The operating crew will enter ONP-23.1, "Primary Coolant Leak" to quantify leak rate and perform mitigating actions. The Operating Crew will trip the Reactor and enter EOP-1.0, "Standard Post-Trip Actions" followed by a transition to EOP-4.0, "Loss of Coolant Accident Recovery." An ALERT will be declared in the Fission Products Barriers Category (FA1) for potential loss (#2) of Primary Coolant barrier. When Safety Injection occurs Service Water P-7C motor/breaker will fail clearing and locking out 1-D bus. Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) 1-2 will start, however, the output breaker for EDG 1-2 will not close (Auto or Manual) onto the ID Bus due to bus overcurrent/lockout. This will result in HPSI P-66A loss of power and no operating HPSI pumps. As a result of loss of HPSI, the operating crew will transition to EOP-9.0 "Functional Recovery Procedure." The ERO will take actions to determine fault on 1-D bus (P-7C breaker) as well as refill HPSI P-66B pump oil reservoirs and restore it to service. The loss of 1-D bus results in minimal Containment Cooling (loss of 2 Service Water Pumps and loss of 3 Containment Air Coolers) during the Small Break LOCA resulting in a more observable Containment Barrier failure later.
70
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)*
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palisades Nuclear Power Plant Approximately 5 minutes after the Safety Injection, Primary Coolant Pump (PCP) P-50D (P-50B will fail if P-50D has already been secured @ 1300#) experiences a locked rotor and its breaker fails to open resulting in a loss of "Rear" Switchyard Bus. Pieces of the catastrophically failed P-50D impeller will migrate into the reactor core inducing fuel cladding failures that reveal themselves later in the event.
Containment RadiationMonitors (RIA-1805 through RIA-1808) and Containment High Range Radiation Monitors (RIA-2321 and 2322) will begin to gradually rise soon after P-50D locked rotor event. The plant will be in a Natural Circulation (NC) condition.
Approximately 65 minutes after the Alert declaration and approximately 50 minutes after the P-50D locked rotor, the Containment High Range Radiation Monitors RIA-2321 and 2322 gradual rise will promptly jump to -2500 R/hr. A SITE AREA EMERGENCY (SAE) will be declared in the Fission Products Barriers Category (FS 1) for either potential loss (#2) or loss (#2) of Primary Coolant barrier and loss (#5) of fuel clad barrier.
Approximately 100 minutes after the SAE declaration the Containment Main Airlock will catastrophically fail as evidenced by Containment Pressure indications sucddenly dropping to about atmospheric pressure.
A GENERAL EMERGENCY (GE) will be declared in the Fission Products Barriers Category (loss of all 3 barriers) when the Containment Pressure drops and on-site and off-site dose teams report rising dose levels. Additionally, Component Cooling Water rooimand Turbine Building Area Monitors will begin to alarm. An INITIAL PAR will be made based upon the Minimum PAR for a General Emergency to Evacuate Areas 1, 2 and 3.
Approximately 2 hrs. after the declaration of the GE, the cladding fault will worsen into multiple fuel element failures sufficient to ci-eaa significant radiation level in the containment. Containment High Range Radiation Monitors rise to -20,000 R/hr. This will cause an UPGRADE PAR to be developed for the entire EPZ based on Major Core Damage with a release in progress (Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
The exercise will be terminated upon satisfying all the objectives for the DRILL.
