After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On June 8-9, 2010, a biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise consisting of both the Plume Exposure Pathway, 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (IPZ) was conducted around the River Bend Station (RBS), located near St. Francisville, Louisiana. Personnel from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region VI, evaluated all activities. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of preparedness of local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at RBS. It was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the implementation of state and local REP plans and procedures.

The previous exercise at this site was conducted on June 11, 2008. The first qualifying exercise to satisfy FEMA rule 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 350 requirements for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing to operate the facility was conducted in January 1985.

Including the exercise on June 8, 2010, there have been fifteen DHS/FEMA Region VI evaluated exercises plus several drills conducted since then.

FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Louisiana, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, East Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge Parishes who participated in 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 was evident during this exercise.

This report includes the identification of any exercise issues and recommendations for corrective action where appropriate.

All state and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated an adequate knowledge of the emergency response plans and procedures and properly implemented them.

There were three Deficiencies, no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA), and six Plan Issues identified during the exercise.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station ISSUE NO.: 53-10-5a1-D-03 CRITERION: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E & NUREG-0654, E.1.,4.,5.,6.,7.)

CONDITION: Sirens were not activated (simulated) by the parishes as required at 1111 and 1208. The EAS messages, Scenario #8 and #22, were broadcasted as scheduled by the Governors Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) at 1114 and 1211. Three of the five parishes simulated siren activation at the agreed upon time of 1111 prior to transmittal of the first EAS message, two parishes (Pointe Coupee and East Baton Rouge Parishes) believed that the siren activation was being completed at an alternate location (by either GOHSEP where there is no panel for siren activation or at the River Bend Station Emergency Operations Facility). When the Protective Action Decision was revised later in the exercise, arrangements were made again to activate the sirens for alerting at 1208 to precede the transmission of the EAS message at GOHSEP that was scheduled for 1211. For this siren activation, three parishes (Pointe Coupee, East Baton Rouge, and East Feliciana Parishes) believed the sirens were being activated in an alternate location (by either GOHSEP where there is no panel for siren activation or at the River Bend Station Emergency Operations Facility).

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There is the possibility that the parishes may have been confused during the coordination call. The call also included discussion of the exception area alerting that was being conducted by helicopter (for the FEMA approved exception areas) and the approval for that alerting by West Feliciana Parish.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.6; and LPRRP, Attachment III, Enclosures 1-5.

EFFECT: Sirens were not activated (simulated) at the designated times by the all of the parishes as required to alert the public to the broadcast of the EAS messages.

15

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station This incomplete EAS process could result in members of the public being unaware of the protective actions that were being implemented and may result in a negative impact on public health and safety.

It should be noted that the licensee (by procedure) monitors siren activation by the parishes to confirm siren activation at the scheduled time. The licensee maintains the ability to sound sirens in the event of a failure at the parish and they would activate the sirens if requested by the parish. The licensee would contact the parish if the siren activation was not completed as required. Because the sirens were not actually activated (for exercise purposes) this back-up process was not implemented and could not be verified by the evaluators.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The East Baton Rouge Parish (EBRP) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at 3773 Harding Blvd., Baton Rouge, Lousiana 70807 re-demonstrated the activation of the sirens on July 14, 2010.

The Parish Director and Mayor-President were responsible for making PADs for the EBRP population.

The River Bend Station (RBS) Siren Control Box and keys are located in the Communications Room across the hall from the EOC. The siren activation was simulated once during the drill. The procedures binders and SOPs were available for use in activating the sirens.

Message #1 with a PAR and Scenario #1 were received via fax from RBS at 1101, stating a general emergency had been declared at the plant. A follow-up call was received over the RBS Hotline confirming the fax information and to obtain concurrance from each Parish Director on the siren activation at 1115.

The Parish Director and Mayor-President immediately reviewed the procedures and Scenario #1 for necessary actions. The director prepared for the siren activation (simulated), she used the checklist (Attachment #7) to complete the process. The director followed up with a phone call to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and RBS confirming the parish had sounded the sirens.

The staff successfully re-demonstrated the siren activation (simulated) and the drill 16

d. PLAN ISSUES: 3.a.1, 3.b.1.

ISSUE NO.: 53-10-3a1-P-01 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: Emergency workers were issued direct reading dosimeters that would not allow the individual to read the administrative reporting limits (at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)). The lowest range dosimeter provided was a 0 to 5 R. It is not possible to accurately read a 0 to 5 R dosimeter so that measurements of less than 100 mR can be reliably determined.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Louisiana Department of Environmental Equality (LDEQ)

Field Monitoring Teams (FMT) report their monitoring results to the Field Team Coordinator and the Dose Assessment Coordinator at the Emgergency Operations Facility calculate revised return (turnback) values based on the updated FMT data.

These calculations resulted in a new dose conversion factor that revised the return value to account for TEDE to 72 mR. Emergency workers were not issued appropriate DRDs that measure exposure levels that low.

REFERENCE:

NUREG K.3.a, b EFFECT: Emergency workers would not have been able to monitor their exposure to ensure that turnback values were not exceeded.

RECOMMENDATION: Acquire and issue dosimetry that can be correctly read for lower exposure levels to ensure administrative control levels can be accurately measured.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station ISSUE NO.: 53-10-3b1-P-02 CRITERION: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the admin of KI for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals (not general public) is maintained. (NUREG-0654, E.7., J.10.e.f.)

CONDITION: The RADEF Officer issued potassium iodide (KI) to an Emergency Worker but there is no method to track the date and the time to record when the Emergency Worker ingests the KI once the recommendation to ingest the KI is received.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There is no formal log for recording the date and time that an emergency worker ingests KI once the recommendation is received.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, E.7., J.10.e, f.; Interim REP Program Manual EFFECT: The RADEF Officer would only be able to identify who received KI and would not have an official record of who ingested KI and when. For dose reconstruction purposes, it is necessary to document the date and time KI is ingested.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: East Baton Rouge Parish Emergency Response Procedure for RADEF Officer - Rev. 21 contains Attachment 7.

Attachment 7 is the Record of Potassium Iodide (KI) Distribution and Ingestion form that provides a method of tracking individual ingestion for a period of 10 days for Emergency Workers. The form also provides a method of tracking whether or not KI was ingested each day and who authorized the ingestion of KI.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The East Feliciana Parish Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located at 11050 Bank Street, Clinton, Louisiana. On July 14, 2010 the Director of the East Feliciana Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (EFPOHSEP) and his Communication Manager participated in the drill for the re-demonstration of sirens. This drill was conducted to address a previously identified Deficiency from the River Bend Station (RBS) Plume and Ingestion Pathway Exercise. Re-demonstration of sounding of the sirens was successfully demonstrated.

At 1101, the EFPOHSEP received notification of a General Emergency (GE) had been declared at RBS via the dedicated facsimile (fax) printer. Message #1 also contained a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) for Scenario #1. The Communications Manager notified the Director and began a log of events on the computer.

At 1102, announcement was made on the 800 MHz radio system to stand by for a PAR call. Shortly after the announcement a Roll Call was made for the participating locations. At 1103 the Director confirmed receipt of the fax over the radio.

At 1105, a PAR Call was conducted. PAR Scenario #1 was recommended by RBS.

At 1107 the Director of EFPOHSEP verbally concurred with PAR Scenario #1 over the radio. At 110 all participating locations had concurrence to implement PAR Scenario #1 and that sounding of the sirens would take place at 1115. The Governors Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) stated that the Emergency Alert System (EAS) message would be broadcast following the sounding of the sirens.

At 1115, the EFPOHSEP Communications Manager, under the direction of the EFPOHSEP Director, demonstrated the simulation of sounding the sirens. The demonstration consisted of showing where the key would be inserted, waiting for the indicator lights, and then pressing of the button to activate the sirens. No sirens were sounded for this drill.

At 1120, an announcement was made on the radio system by RBS that all sirens had 21

ISSUE NO.: 53-10-5a1-D-07 CRITERION: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E & NUREG-0654, E.1.,4.,5.,6.,7.)

CONDITION: Sirens were not activated (simulated) by the parishes as required at 1111 and 1208. The EAS messages, Scenario #8 and #22, were broadcasted as scheduled by the Governors Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) at 1114 and 1211. Three of the five parishes simulated siren activation at the agreed upon time of 1111 prior to transmittal of the first EAS message, two parishes (Pointe Coupee and East Baton Rouge Parishes) believed that the siren activation was being completed at an alternate location (by either GOHSEP where there is no panel for siren activation or at the River Bend Station Emergency Operations Facility). When the Protective Action Decision was revised later in the exercise, arrangements were made again to activate the sirens for alerting at 1208 to precede the transmission of the EAS message at GOHSEP that was scheduled for 1211. For this siren activation, three parishes (Pointe Coupee, East Baton Rouge, and East Feliciana Parishes) believed the sirens were being activated in an alternate location (by either GOHSEP where there is no panel for siren activation or at the River Bend Station Emergency Operations Facility).

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There is the possibility that the parishes may have been 23

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station confused during the coordination call. The call also included discussion of the exception area alerting that was being conducted by helicopter (for the FEMA approved exception areas) and the approval for that alerting by West Feliciana Parish.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.6; and LPRRP, Attachment III, Enclosures 1-5.

EFFECT: Sirens were not activated (simulated) at the designated times by the all of the parishes as required to alert the public to the broadcast of the EAS messages.

This incomplete EAS process could result in members of the public being unaware of the protective actions that were being implemented and may result in a negative impact on public health and safety.

It should be noted that the licensee (by procedure) monitors siren activation by the parishes to confirm siren activation at the scheduled time. The licensee maintains the ability to sound sirens in the event of a failure at the parish and they would activate the sirens if requested by the parish. The licensee would contact the parish if the siren activation was not completed as required. Because the sirens were not actually activated (for exercise purposes) this back-up process was not implemented and could not be verified by the evaluators.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Pointe Coupee Parish (PCP)

Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully re-demonstrated the activation of the siren system on July 14, 2010. The PCP EOC is located at 7011 Mitchell Lane, Morganza, LA 70759. The PCP Emergency Management Director (EMD) was responsible for making Protective Action Decisions (PADs) for the PCP population.

The River Bend Station (RBS) Siren Control Box is located in the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) closet in the PCP EOC. The keys to activate the siren system are secured in a storage locker in the PCP EOC equipment room. Siren activation procedures were kept along with other emergency procedures in binders located in the OEP closet. Additional copies of procedures were available in the storage locker in the equipment room. The alert and notification system activation was demonstrated up to the point of activation, and siren activation was simulated 24

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station once during the drill.

At 1102, the PCP EOC received Message #1 with a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) referencing Scenario #1 via fax from RBS. Message #1 stated a General Emergency had been declared at RBS. The RBS Communicator instructed each Parish EOC to turn their radios to the PAR CALL channel. A roll call was then performed by RBS with each Parish to confirm receipt of Message #1.

The RBS Communicator then instructed each Parish EMD to standby for PAR concurrence. At 1108, the RBS recovery Manager requested each Parish EMD respond with their PAD to implement PAR Scenario #1. Each Parish EMD concurred. At 1110, the RBS Recovery Manager recommended that the sirens sound at 1115.

At 1115, the PCP Disptacher/Communicator demonstrated the steps necessary to activate and sound the sirens (simulated) in PCP. At 1117, the PCP EMD called RBS to verify that the sirens sounded. PCP EOC received a drill termination call from RBS at 1126.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN Issue Number: 53-10-3a1-P-01 Criterion: 3a1 ISSUE: Emergency workers were issued direct reading dosimeters that would not allow the individual to read the administrative reporting limits (at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)). The lowest range dosimeter provided was a 0 to 5 R. It is not possible to accurately read a 0 to 5 R dosimeter so that measurements of less than 100 mR can be reliably determined.

RECOMMENDATION: Acquire and issue dosimetry that can be correctly read for lower exposure levels to ensure administrative control levels can be accurately measured.

2. The goal of all offsite response organizations (ORO) is to protect the health and safety of the public. This goal is achieved through the execution of appropriate plans and procedures. It is recognized that situations may arise that could limit the organizations in the exact execution of these plans and procedures.

3. In the event of an unanticipated situation, OROs are permitted to exercise flexibility in the implementation of their plans and procedures in order to successfully achieve the objective of protection of public health and safety and protection of the environment.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station Plume Phase Scenario Narrative I. Offsite Objectives The objectives for offsite activities for the Plume Phase portion are listed in the previous section Offsite Objectives.

II. Summary of Events A. Objective The scenario has been prepared to test the effectiveness of the emergency response organization (ERO) and functions of the RBS Emergency Plan, implementing procedures, facilities, and equipment. Some events that occur during this drill are unrealistic and may not be strictly in accordance with the design basis of the Facility.

To exercise the ERO, the goal of the scenario is to uncover the core and provide a path for a radiological release outside containment to the environment. To uncover the core to obtain clad damage, the ECCS systems and normal injection systems must be disabled. A path for radiological release to the environment is required to exercise the ERO fully.

B. Narrative of Events The scenario starts at 0730 in a Division II work week. Workers staging to work (voltage readings) on ENS-SWG1B inadvertently cause ENS-ACB26 to open which de-energizes the bus. The Div II diesel generator auto starts and re-energizes ENS-SWG1B. A malfunction of the voltage regulator causes a bus fault and resulting fire in ENS-SWG1B. The fire brigade responds and extinguishes the fire with the assistance from offsite firefighting support. The damage to the switchgear is extensive and it will not be restored for the duration of the scenario. All Division II components are lost. At approximately 0744 to 0759, an Alert is declared on HA4-1, fire in structure or system required for safe shutdown and plant personnel report visible damage. Offsite notifications will be made and the ERO will be augmented using the paging system.

At approximately 0850, the condensate pumps trip offline; one due to an electrical short, the other due to a sheared shaft when the first pump trips. This results in a loss of RPV injection with condensate and feedwater. The reactor will scram and the associated initiations and isolations occur. As level lowers, RCIC will be manually initiated or auto initiated. HPCS may also initiate.

61

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan River Bend Station At approximately 0902, a RCIC steam leak will occur in the main steam tunnel downstream of the outboard isolation valve. The isolation temperature will be reached, however, both the inboard (E51-MOVF063) and outboard (E51-MOVF064) isolation valves will fail to close. When the main steam tunnel temperature reaches 141ºF, the EAL condition for the potential loss (RC3) of the RCS barrier is met. The failure of both RCIC isolation valves to close leaving a downstream pathway to the environment meets the condition for loss of the primary containment barrier (PC3).

The loss or potential loss of two barriers meets the condition for a Site Area Emergency FS1-1. The SAE will be declared between approximately 0902 and 0917. A protected area evacuation will be directed.

A reactor coolant leak in the drywell will occur on the RWCU bottom head drain resulting in a drywell high pressure 1.68 psid signal (RC1). Emergency depressurization will be required due to exceeding the max safe operating temperature in two areas identified in EOP-3. The high pressure core spray pump will trip shortly after starting and the LPCS and RHR A injection valves fail to open after RPV pressure is lowered. Level will continue to lower.

At approximately 1035, RPV level will lower to <-162. This is a potential loss (FC2) of the fuel clad and conditions for a General Emergency are met. The GE will be declared and minimum PAR recommended. A rise in main plant release rate will occur when the core is initially uncovered. As water level continues to fall, more fuel damage will occur resulting in a rise in the main plant exhaust release rate. During this time core state will change from clad damage to fuel melt.

Main plant exhaust rate will reach a level that will result in a PAR upgrade at approximately 1125. The TSC and OSC teams will begin recovering injection sources and raising RPV water level.

The RCIC leak will be secured around 1215 resulting in a decline in radiological release rate. Radiological release rates will fall to near background levels around 1300. At approximately 1400, the simulator will be placed in FREEZE and the players will begin a self-critique.
