SFEMA NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is one copy of the Final Report for the August 24, 2010, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The State of Minnesota Dakota and Goodhue Counties, the State of Wisconsin and Pierce County, and the utility owner/operator, Exelon Nuclear, participated in this exercise.

No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Minnesota or for Dakota and Goodhue Counties during this exercise. No Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue identified for the State of Minnesota and one Planning Issue identified for Dakota County. One ARCA for the State of Minnesota from a prior exercise was successfully re-demonstrated.

The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.

The Planning Issue for the State of Minnesota was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI),

and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Emergency Medical Crew were provided a 0-200mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD). This DRD is not able to read turn-back values of 1 R or total exposure limits of 3 R in accordance with current State of Minnesota Plans and Procedures.

The Planning Issue for Dakota County was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Radiological Officer had 26 (Model 622, 0-20 R) DRDs, 13 of which were expired requiring recertification in 2008.

There were also three DRDs that had stickers marked "failed" on them. The inventory of DRDs was not checked by the RO upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.

To Whom It May Concern Page # 2 No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Wisconsin or for Pierce County during this exercise.

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified for the State of Wisconsin.

There was one ARCA from a previous exercise that was successfully re-demonstrated. One Planning Issue was identified for the State of Wisconsin. One ARCA was not demonstrated from a previous exercise. This ARCA (number 33-09-1cl-A-01) will be demonstrated during the Point Beach REP Exercise in October 2010, in accordance with the extent-of-play agreement.

No ARCAs were identified for Pierce County during this exercise.

The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.

The ARCA for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Implementation of Emergency Worker Control, Criterion 3.a. 1-The Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures and managed radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures, whereby emergency workers were not briefed of their correct exposure limits nor did they know what their correct exposure limits were when they were interviewed.

The Planning Issue for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 2.b.2 - A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy), whereby various State of Wisconsin staff used inaccurate procedures to provide Pierce County with protective action recommendations based on their "home rule" status.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of the Final Report.

Based on the results of the August 24, 2010, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the PINGP, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin site-specific to the PINGP, granted on December 4, 1981, remains in effect.

Copies of this report have been provided to the DHS/FEMA National Office, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region III and the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the ARCAs and Planning Issues.

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 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 Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

- U.S. Department of Agriculture;

- U.S. Department of Commerce;,

- U.S. Department of Energy; 9

EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ) DESCRIPTION The Xcel Energy Corporation owns and operates the PINGP. The plant consists of two pressurized water reactors (Units 1 and 2); both rated at 560 megawatts (MW). The operating licenses for the facility were granted in August 1973 (Unit 1) and October 1974 (Unit 2).

Commercial operations began at the site during December 1973 (Unit 1) and December 1974 (Unit 2). The plant site consists of approximately 560 acres located in the City of Red Wing (2010 population: 16,116) on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The latitude of the site is 440 37'3" north and the longitude is 92' 37'9" west. The property is level to slightly rolling. The site elevation ranges from 675 to 706 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Mississippi River flows from northeast to southwest through the 10-mile 11

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant EPZ. The Vermillion River flows northwest to southeast. Steep bluffs surround the river, rising to more than 1,000 feet above msl about 11/2 miles northeast and southwest of the site. The following Sub-Areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: Sub-Areas 2, 5N, 5E, 5S,5W, ION, lONE, 10E, lOSE, 1OSW, IOW and 1ONW.

The total plume pathway EPZ population is 29,241 (2003 Xcel data). The nearest large population centers are St. Paul, Minnesota (2000 population 287,151), 26 miles northwest of the site; seven counties Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota (2,642,056), 26 miles northwest of the site; Rochester, Minnesota (80,168), 41 miles south; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin (51,000), 55 miles east-northeast. Goodhue County, in which the site is located, and the adjacent counties (Dakota in Minnesota and Pierce in Wisconsin) are predominately rural. Located within two miles of the site, however, is a Native-American-owned gambling casino, the Treasure Island Casino, which is situated on the Prairie Island reservation, which has an average daily attendance of 23,000 persons per day. The remaining land within a 10-mile radius of the site is almost exclusively agricultural.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region V Office evaluated the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise conducted on August 24, 2010, to assess the capabilities of local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The purpose of this report is to present the results and findings on the performance of the Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise objectives and identified Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be demonstrated are discussed in Appendix F "Exercise Plan."

2.3 Scenario Summary Appendix F "Exercise Plan," 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 Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise on August 24, 2010.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Minnesota, the State of Wisconsin and Xcel Energy and accepted by DHS/FEMA Region V on June 28, 2010.

During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Minnesota and the State of Wisconsin provided "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.

The details of the scenario are included in Appendix F "Exercise Plan."

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant ISSUE NO.: 50-10-1el-P-04 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: Each member of the Cottage Grove EMS crew was issued an Arrowtech 138 Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a Mirion Technologies Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was inforned of their turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F), the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a running total following re-zeroing of the DRD.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Planners were unaware of the requirement to issue DRDs capable of indicating dosimeter administrative limits.

REFERENCE:

. NUREG-0654, criteria K.3.a.

" FEMA REP Program Manual, page 111-66

" FEMA REP 14, page D5-5

" FEMA REP 2, page 5-6, 5-10, 5-12 EFFECT: Upon reaching the 200 mR upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 DRD, and lacking a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD, and an appropriate running total entry on the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log, 200 mR effectively becomes the turn-back and exposure limit for the EMS crew, removing a valuable and scarce resource from duty.

31

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant RECOMMENDATION: Issue EMS units with an additional DRD in the 0-20 R range, or issue a dosimeter charger and redesign the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log to accommodate a running total entry following DRD re-zeroing.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

The State of Minnesota will be updating the emergency worker green cards with a statement that if you are outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone you do not have or need a turn-back limit or exposure limit. The State of Minnesota Emergency Operation Plan and the standard operating guidelines will be updated to state the turn-back limit and exposure limit are only to be used while in the 10-mile emergency planning zone. The green emergency worker cards will also be updated to state there is no turn-back or exposure limits for emergency workers outside of the 10-mile EPZ, the cards will also state if they get any readings on'their DRD's they are to contact their supervisor immediately. This will be a point of emphasis in our field training for the emergency workers.

ISSUE NO.: 50-10-lel-P-03 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The RO packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. The supply of 26, Model 622, 0-20 R DRD's maintained at the Dakota County EOC contained 13 units that were expired, requiring recertification in 2008.

33

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant There were also 3 units that that had stickers marked failed on them. The Radiological Officer (RO) failed.to check the expiration dates on the Dosimetry Corporation Model 622, 0-20 R, direct-reading dosimetry (DRD). The inventory of I

DRD's were not checked upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for' distribution to Emergency Workers.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Radiological Officer was unaware of the expiration dates on the DRD and therefore did not observe the dates on the units prior to packaging them as part of the Dosimetry/KI kits. The calibration logs did not match the supply of DRD delivered to Dakota County by the State Dosimetry Control Officer.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, K.3.a, 3.b i

EFFECT: The Emergency Workers issued these Dosimetry/KI kits, could have resulted in them improperly reading exposure levels if in a contaminated area.

I RECOMMENDATION: The Radiological Officer should be provided additional training as well as review the plan to adequately examine all DRD's for valid expiration date. The procedure for delivery of dosimetry to the Dakota County Dosimetry Control Officer should include a check of DRDs to the inventory control sheet. The procedure for assembling Emergency Worker Exposure Kits should include a check of the dosimetry calibration due dates.

I SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

I Dakota County will be updating the standard operation guidelines (SOGs) for the Radiological Officer (RO) to ensure all DRDs have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. Furthermore, the operations chief will ensure that all DRDs that are due for calibration are gathered and sent to the State for their annual calibration.

ISSUE NO.: 50-10-2b2-P-01 CRITERION: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make PADs for the general public 37

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant including KI if ORO policy.

I CONDITION: During the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) and the Operations Manager and staff for the State of Wisconsin used a checklist to guide their actions during a General Emergency which did not reflect the processes or steps required for a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to become a Protective Action Decision (PAD) in a "home rule" state.

The State and its resources support County decision making by providing a PAR (for evacuations, sheltering in place) based on information received from PINGP, the efforts of field monitoring teams, and associated projections (see Criterion 2.b. 1).

The County then makes a decision (PAD) based on the PAR provided by the State.

In the checklist entitled, "OIC/Operations Actions, General Emergency", after concurrence is reached on the substance of protective action and "counties agree on a' time to sound sirens", the OIC is to "request approval of the PAR from the Governor or Governor's Representative, and the PAR becomes a PAD."

Contrary to the (sequence of) steps in the checklist, the PAR does not become a PAD upon the Governor Representative's approval. The PAR becomes a PAD upon the i

acceptance of the PAR by Pierce. County, as perhaps modified by them to account for local considerations. The Governor or Governor's Representative certainly can i

approve a PAR, but in a "home rule" state, they are not in the role of approving the County's actions in this regard. As a "home rule" state, Pierce County is responsible for the overall decision to make a protective action (e.g., evacuation, shelter-in-place). Also, the language in the checklist did not entirely reflect the coordination processes anticipated by theState, e.g., the coordination with the State of Minnesota, a ".decision" rather than "concurrence" from Pierce County, coordination and communication of a KI PAD with Minnesota and Pierce County.

Note: The decision to recommend KI to the general public is seen as an independent protective action. Therefore, the State via the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) authorizes and directs "the timely and appropriate dispensing of KI" to emergency workers, and recommends its voluntary use by immobile populations and the general 38 II

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant public. This is in accordance with the Wisconsin Department of Health Service's Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP), Version 2.1, Volume 1, dated August 16, 2010, and the Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP), Radiological Nuclear Incident Annex, II.D.2. The Pierce County Emergency Operations Procedure (EOP) further states that per state policy, dispensation of KI is approved by the Governor (or designee) and DHFS (Division of Health) who directs the County Health Director to authorize KI dispensation.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The use of language and documents provided by the State of Minnesota. Without taking under consideration of the "Home Rule" Decision Making process.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654, J.9, J.10 DHS Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) Volume 1, Section 2.1.1, 2.3.5; 4.6; Appendices B & C Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP), Radiological Nuclear Incident Annex, I.C, II.D.2, III.C.2, Pierce County Emergency Operations Procedure (EOP)

EFFECT: The situation as reflected on the checklist and in the Protective Action Manual has the potential to cause confusion about who is responsible for protective action decision making, and, in particular, the approval(s) required for a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to become a Protective Action Decision (PAD).

RECOMMENDATION: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) checklists should be reviewed and revised to ensure steps are included in the proper sequence for appropriate coordination, approval, and decision-making with regard to protective action recommendations and decisions. These checklists should be cross-checked against the Pierce County Emergency Plan and the Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP) to ensure consistency. Also, the State of Wisconsin's SOP and its associated checklists need to be revised and further clarified to accurately reflect the coordination process and the respective decision making responsibilities of the State and County with regard to both types of protective actions, e.g., evacuations, ingestion of KI. In addition, the copies of the Minnesota State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) SOP for Planning Protective Action Process, as well as 39

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant the State of Minnesota PAD and EAS Approval Form, should be removed from the I

Protective Action Manual located in the Wisconsin SEOC, and replaced with documents specific to the State of Wisconsin.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

After the preliminary results were presented to the State of Wisconsin on August 27, 2010, WEM thoroughly reviewed the checklists in the EOC binders and revised them to reflect the proper chain of events to form a PAD. References to the State of Minnesota's PAD process found in the EOC binders have been removed.

CRITERION: OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage 3

radiological exposure to emergency workers IAW plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read and record dosimeter 3

reading. (NUREG-0654, K.3)

CONDITION: Approximately 22 firefighters were assigned to four monitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC. The four teams were the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring Team (EEWMT), the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Decontamination Team (EEWDT, the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle 42

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT).

At 1920 hours0.0222 days <br />0.533 hours <br />0.00317 weeks <br />7.3056e-4 months <br />, the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances. The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one Thermnoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card.

Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed.

The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forns to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours0.0226 days <br />0.542 hours <br />0.00322 weeks <br />7.41975e-4 months <br />.

In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit.

The extent-of-play a*greement for criterion 6.a. 1 stated that all Pierce County monitoring and decontamination workers would work under the direction of State staff and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response. As such, and in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP),

Version 2.1, January 10, 2010, the State exposure limit is 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD.

Not only were the monitoring and decontamination workers incorrectly briefed on an exposure limit of 3 rem, and the Dosimetry Information Card issued listed the exposure limit as 3 rem, their 0-200R DRD was not capable of reading 3 Rem. The 43

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant instrument can only read Roentgens.

Approaching the end of the demonstration, one worker radioed the Dosimetry Station and asked what the exposure limit was. The response given, 2 rem that can be increased to 3 rem, was incorrect.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Pierce County (PC) Radiological Officer (RO) may not have known that Pierce County workers serving on monitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC were considered under the direction of the State staff and, therefore, came under the provisions of the Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP.

Furthermore, the Wisconsin DHS may not have verified, that the PC RO was in possession of that information and a copy of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin DHS RIRP.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0645: K.3.a, 3.b EFFECT: Harmful radiation exposure could affect those briefed to accept higher levels, unable to read those levels on their instrument, not aware of a much lower exposure limit, unable to read rem on a DRD, and, any combination thereof.

3 RECOMMENDATION: The Pierce County Radiological Officer should obtain Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP, Version 2.1, January 10, 2010. That portion I

of paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 pertaining to the State exposure limit of 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD should be incorporated into dosimetry briefings prepared for and given to County monitoring and decontamination workers. The Pierce Radiological Officer should develop and use 3

and a dosimetry briefing checklist for use when training emergency workers and when issuing dosimetry. The Pierce County Radiological Officer should present group briefings on the purpose and use of dosimetry to ensure consistency of message and increase efficiency. The Wisconsin DHS should assist the PC RO in these matters matter.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

The State of Wisconsin will conduct training for each risk county's radiological officer as well as ensure compatibility in plans and procedures between the State and 44

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP).

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant County plans. A checklist will be developed for use by County radiological officers to ensure a thorough and consistent briefing of reception center staff and emergency workers.

No Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue identified for the State of Minnesota and one Planning Issue identified for Dakota County. One ARCA for the State of Minnesota from a prior exercise was successfully re-demonstrated.

The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 -

OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.

The Planning Issue for the State of Minnesota was indentified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Emergency Medical Crew were provided a 0-200mR direct-reading dosimeter (DRD). This DRD is not able to read turn-back values of 1 R or total exposure limits of 3 R in accordance with current State of Minnesota Plans and Procedures.

The Planning Issue for Dakota County was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Radiological Officer (RO) had 26 (Model 622, 0-20 R) DRDS, 13 of which were expired requiring recertification in 2008. There were also three DRDs that had stickers marked "failed" on them. The inventory of DRDs was'not checked by the RO upon delivery and prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.

No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Wisconsin or for Pierce County during this exercise. There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified for the State of Wisconsin. There was one ARCA from a previous exercise that was successfully re-demonstrated. No ARCAs were identified for Pierce County during this exercise. One ARCA was not demonstrated from a previous exercise. This ARCA (number 33-09-1cl-A-01) will be demonstrated during the Point Beach REP Exercise in October 2010, in accordance with the extent-of-play agreement.

IC itein ISSUE: The RO packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. The supply of 26, Model 622, 0-20 R DRD's maintained at the Dakota County EOC contained 13 units that were expired, requiring recertification in 2008.

There were also 3 units that that had stickers marked failed on them. The Radiological Officer (RO) failed to check the expiration dates on the Dosimetry Corporation Model 622, 0-20 R, direct-reading dosimetry (DRD). The inventory of DRD's were not checked upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.

RECOMMENDATION: The Radiological Officer should be provided additional training as well as review the plan to adequately examine all DRD's for valid expiration date. The procedure for delivery of dosimetry to the Dakota County Dosimetry Control Officer should include a check of DRDs to the inventory control sheet. The procedure for assembling Emergency Worker Exposure Kits should include a check of the dosimetry calibration due dates.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

Dakota County will be updating the standard operation guidelines (SOGs) for the Radiological Officer (RO) to ensure all DRDs have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. Furthermore, the operations chief will ensure that all DRDs that are due for calibration are gathered and sent to the State for their annual calibration.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant 9.u' Nu br I0-elP0 CtI.'on eI ISSUE: Each member of the Cottage Grove EMS crew was issued an Arrowtech 138 Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a Mirion Technologies Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was informed of their turn-back limit of I R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F),

the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a.running total following re-zeroing of the DRD.

RECOMMENDATION: Issue EMS units with an additional DRD in the 0-20 R range, or issue a dosimeter charger and redesign the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log to accommodate a running total entry following DRD re-zeroing.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

The State of Minnesota will be updating the emergency worker green cards with a statement that if you are outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone you do not have or need a turn-baick limit or exposure limit. The State of Minnesota Emergency Operation Plan and the standard operating guidelines will be updated to state the turn-back limit and exposure limit are only to be used while in the 10-mile emergency planning zone. The green emergency worker cards will also be updated to state there is no turn-back or exposure limits for emergency workers outside of the 10-mile EPZ, the cards will also state if they get any readings on their DRD's they are to contact'their supervisor immediately. This will be a point of emphasis in our field training for the emergency workers.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant ISSUE: Approximately 22 firefighters were assigned to fourmonitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC.

The four teams were the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring Team (EEWMT), the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Decontamination Team (EEWDT, the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT).

At 1920 hours0.0222 days <br />0.533 hours <br />0.00317 weeks <br />7.3056e-4 months <br />, the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances.

The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card.

Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed. The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forms to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours0.0226 days <br />0.542 hours <br />0.00322 weeks <br />7.41975e-4 months <br />.

In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit.

The extent-of-play agreement for criterion 6.a. 1 stated that all Pierce County monitoring and decontamination workers would work under the direction of State staff and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response. As such, and in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP), Version 2.1, January 10, 2010, the State exposure limit is 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD.

Not only were the monitoring and decontamination workers incorrectly briefed on an exposure limit of 3 rem, and the Dosimetry Information Card issued listed the exposure limit as 3 rem, their 0-200R DRD was not capable of reading 3 Rem. The instrument can only read Roentgens.

Approaching the end of the demonstration, one worker radioed the Dosimetry Station and asked what the exposure limit was. The response given, 2 rem that can be increased to 3 rem, was incorrect.

RECOMMENDATION: The Pierce County Radiological Officer should obtain Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP, Version 2.1, January 10, 2010. That portion of paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 pertaining to the State exposure limit of 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD should be incorporated into dosimetry briefings prepared for and given to County monitoring and decontamination workers. The Pierce Radiological Officer should develop and use and a dosimetry briefing checklist for use when training emergency workers and when issuing dosimetry. The Pierce County Radiological Officer should present group briefings on the purpose and use of dosimetry to ensure consistency of message and increase efficiency. The Wisconsin DHS should assist the PC RO in these matters matter.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:

The State of Wisconsin will conduct training for each risk county's radiological officer as well as ensure compatibility in plans and procedures between the State and County plans. A checklist will be developed for use by County radiological officers to ensure a thorough and consistent briefing of reception center staff and emergency workers. The State of Wisconsin will redemonstrate this criterion during the next Prairie Island exercise, which is cheduled to be field on July 10, 2012.

1. Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System with GPS mapping

~I Summary: The CAD system provides MN State Police with a reliable communications device that has a wide selection of features to support a rapid response to an emergency.

==

Description:==

The State Patrol has issued rugged laptop computers to all of their Troopers. The laptops fit into a docking station installed in the vehicles and can be easily removed for use in EOCs when necessary. The laptops are used to access CAD. Troopers use the system as much if not more so than the 800 MHz radios to communicate back and forth via internal email. This is not only timely but produces a log of the information communicated. When a State Police Trooper is supporting a response in a County EOC he/she can use the CAD system to see where all available Troopers are located inclusive of having the capability to communicate with field personnel and access to many other system tools like reference materials, etc.

PREVIOUS EXERCISE FINDINGS AND PLANNING ISSUES State of Minnesota There were two unresolved Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota during the 2009 intermediate/ingestion phase exercise with the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant and one unresolved ARCA from the previous Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant exercise in 2008.

The State of Minnesota has one outstanding Area Requiring Corrective Action from the July 2008 Prairie Island exercise (50-08-5b1-A-01) in which the state did not convey timely information to some callers telephoning into the hotline. The state has enhanced its training to the hotline operators and has connected a speaker system into the hotline room to enable the operators to hear the SEOC briefings. This will be re-demonstrated during the Prairie Island Exercise in 2010.

Dakota and Goodhue Counties There are no unresolved ARCAs for Dakota and Goodhue counties.

EVALUATION AREA 1 - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SUB-ELEMENT 1.a - Mobilization Criterion 1.a.1: OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify, and mobilize emergency personnel and activate facilities in a timely manner.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. The EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e.,

evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC.

The following is a summary of the PAD and EAS process:

1. The Planning and Assessment Center (PAC) receives a recommendation from the utility.

2. The PAC makes an independent assessment of the data and develops its recommendation.

3. The EAS Message and corresponding Special News Bulletins are selected by the Planning Chief and communicated to the Operations Chief.

4. The Operations Chief gets concurrence on the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) from the Minnesota risk counties.

5. The PAR is communicated to the Minnesota State Incident Manager (SIM)

6. The SIM gets concurrence from the State of Wisconsin Officer in Charge (OIC).

7. The PAR is communicated to the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) where once approved, it becomes a Protective Action Decision (PAD).

8. The time that the sirens are sounded and the time the EAS is activated is determined by the SIM after the PAD has been approved by the Minnesota GAR.

9. The SIM notifies the Wisconsin Officer in Charge of the siren sounding time and the time after the sirens sound that the EAS message will be transmitted. The Wisconsin OIC is ultimately responsible for relaying this message and any subsequent messages to Pierce County.

10. A copy of the approved PAD goes to the Operations Chief to coordinate these times with Dakota and Goodhue counties via a conference call - the EAS message is the State's responsibility.

11. The sirens are sounded (simulated).

12. T.he EAS message is transmitted (simulated).

13. Special News Bulletins-are-sent out.-....

14. Media Briefings occur.

The Wisconsin Officer in Charge is responsible for all communications with Pierce County. The State of Minnesota has no direct communication with Pierce County.

Note: The first PAD is pre-approved and the SIM is authorized to give an approval.

An EAS Transmitter (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encoder/decoder, which is automatically monitored by encoders/decoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather alert radios and weather utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota. EAS messages will contain basic information regarding the event.

Additional information will be disseminated through the JIC using special news bulletins and media releases.

Weather permitting, a State Patrol helicopter, equipped with a public address system, will warn recreational area individuals and/or groups. The State patrol helicopter will operate from the Dakota County Judicial Center: 1580 Hwy 55, Hasting MN.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant An individual evacuating from the Prairie Island 10-mile EPZ comes to the general public reception center. This patient had been near the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant to get a better look at what was happening as the sirens were sounding. He walked through some tall grass near the fence boundary without being spotted by any responders or field team members. The patient got scared and left after he saw the field team members in suits near where he had been. He then got back to his vehicle and went to the general public reception center to get checked out. Upon arriving, his vehicle was flagged as contaminated. As he exited his vehicle, he slipped and fell injuring his right lower arm. In addition, the victim has various minor cuts and scratches and pain in his right shoulder and elbow. The patient is confused and experiencing intense pain to his right lower arm (the level of pain is about 8 or 9 out of 10 with 10 being the highest). The person has contamination on the feet, hands, forehead, leg and clothing from his proximity to the Nuclear Generating plant during the General Emergency.

U State of Wisconsin This is a partial-participation plume pathway exercise.

Most activities, including decision making and radiological control/dose assessment, will occur at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC)

Room (Room 105), both located at 2400 Wright Street, Madison, Wisconsin. The Joint I

Information Center (JIC), located in the Minnesota EOC at 444 Cedar Street, St. Paul, MN, will be staffed by both Minnesota and Wisconsin personnel.

n The initial notification will occur via a faxed NARS form from Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) to both the State Patrol Headquarters (Warning Center 1) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (Warning Center 2). If the initial notification occurs prior to 7:45 a.m., State Patrol will contact the WEM Duty Officer (DO) via a pager. If the initial notification occurs after 7:45 'a.m., the fax will be received by WEM front desk staff.The fax will be followed by a phone call from the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating I

Plant (PINGP) through the "City Watch" system. City Watch is a dedicated phone system which rings simultaneously.to State Patrol Headquarters, WEM Front Desk Receptionist, SEOC, the Communications Room located within WEM, and at the I

Sheriffs dispatch center in Pierce County. Both State Patrol and the WEM front desk staff will contact the WEM DO and either give them the NARS form or verbally relay the information received on the NARS form.

U Based upon the WEM standard operating procedure, the DO will call the SRC. The SRC will then call the PINGP at the "call-back" number listed on the NARS form, to verify authenticity as well as to obtain additional information.

The DO will use the WEM Standard Operating Procedure for activation of the EOC. As I

per the Wisconsin Emergency Operations Plan, the EOC is activated at the 'ALERT' classification for nuclear power plants that have a 10-mile EPZ within Wisconsin.

The SRC will respond in real-time (in sequence) and will report to 2400 Wright Street, Room 105, Madison, once a call back has been made to the plant. EOC security will be demonstrated; exercise participants, observers, controllers and evaluators will be asked to wear ID badges.

The DO or his/her designee will employ the use of the EOC software, "E-Sponder" for alerting staff both internally as well as external Wisconsin state agencies toi report to the EOC.

The software sends a pre-scripted message to office phones, cellular phones, and e-mail accounts simultaneously.

Recipients of the notification must respond as to their 102

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant status (i.e. "press 1 if you plan to report to the EOC," "press 2 if you cannot report to the EOC..."). The DO or his/her designee will monitor the responses by staff. In the event that E-Sponder cannot successfully perform its alerting function; or if an individual fails to respond, the DO or his/her designee will make the staff notifications via a telephone "calling tree."

A 24-hour EOC Staffing Roster will be presented from the State to FEMA at the pre-exercise meeting to be held on August 23, 2010.

Due to lengthy travel times, some staff will be pre-positioned.

As per the EOC Activation SOP, these individuals will also be notified via E-Sponder alerting:

The State Emergency Police Services (EPS) Director may be pre-positioned in the general vicinity of the Pierce County EOC at 414 W. Main Street, Ellsworth, WI but will not start exercise play until 20 minutes after EOC activation.

" A Wisconsin Emergency Management Regional Director will be pre-positioned in the Pierce County EOC building, but will not be allowed to start play until 20 minutes after EOC activation.

1 State Joint Information Center (JIC) staff, including Public Inquiry Hotline staff, will be pre-positioned in close proximity to the JIC in St. Paul. They will not be allowed to start play until 20 minutes has elapsed from the time of the ALERT declaration.

• The MS-1 hospital drill will be conducted at Sacred Heart Hospital, 900 W.

Clairemont Avenue, Eau Claire, WI out of sequence at 0900 on August 24, 2010.

Pierce County Pierce County will fully activate its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at 414 W. Main Street, Ellsworth, WI and will carry out warning and staff call-up procedures as outlined in the Pierce County Plan, EOC security will be demonstrated; exercise participants, observers and evaluators will be asked to wear ID badges.

Initial notification will be received by the Sheriffs Dispatchers via conference call on the City Watch telephone system, from the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The Sheriffs Dispatch Center is located at 432 West Main Street. The dispatchers will then activate the EOC staff using the City Watch notification feature. In the event that City Watch cannot successfully perform its notification, or if an individual fails to respond, the dispatcher will make the staff notifications via telephone calls.

The PIO representing the County at the JIC will be pre-positioned in the vicinity of the JIC. The PIO will not interact in play until contacted by the City Watch notification feature (or Pierce County Dispatch) and will wait 15 minutes after the call before beginning play.

Monitoring equipment, dosimetry and complete "county emergency worker dosimetry kits" are stored at the County EOC.

Each county emergency worker dosimetry kit contains: potassium iodide (KI), a TLD, a high-level and low-level DRD, instructions, and a form for recording dosimetry readings. Additional KI for emergency workers and immobile populations is also kept at the same location. The expiration date for Pierce County's supply of KI is April 2012.

EVALUATION AREA 2 - PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING Criterion 2.a.l:

Emergency Worker Exposure Control OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of K[, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides.

State of Wisconsin The SRC, based on his/her technical evaluation of the available data, will make recommendations for emergency worker exposure control to the State Field Team Coordinator (FTC) at the FOC/MRL. Actual contact from the SRC to the FTC will be simulated.

The SRC Will issue a recommendation for the ingestion of KI that will be made to Pierce County The recommendation is passed on to the counties through the State EOC OIC or Operations staff.. The County RO and County OIC then decide whether or not to implement thisrecommendation.

Emergency workers, including the field teams, have a dose limit of 3 rem, whole body (Deep Dose Equivalent). The exposure rate turn-back value for emergency workers is 200mR/hr closed window reading. For an emergency worker who only has access to a DRD, an exposure value of 150 mR will be used as the turn back value. By procedure, the SRC can authorize a radiation exposure in excess of the administrative limit for emergency workers.

Pierce County Pierce County's Radiological Officer (RO) will receive recommendations for the ingestion of KI from the SRC and will make his/her recommendation.to the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the County. At this point the OIC advises all agencies to recommend the ingestion of KI. The County RO will also evaluate requests from county public safety officials who request an exception to worker exposure limits. The County RO will confer with the SRC for exceptions to exposure limits and make a recommendation to the County OIC.

NARRATIVE SCENARIO This drill begins with a simulated radiological release at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. A member of the general population experiences a flat tire while attempting to evacuate the area. While changing the tire, the victim's car slips off of the jack and the jack strikes the victim in the left leg breaking the left fibula. While dealing with this situation the victim and their passenger believe they were exposed to the plume.

The passenger finishes changing the tire and drives the victim to Ellsworth to receive medial treatment at the EMS station. The driver informs the ambulance personnel that the they and the car are most likely radioactively contaminated from the plume.

The ambulance crew stationed in Ellsworth treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and properly loads the individual into the ambulance for transport to the hospital. Ambulance staff are trained not to survey evacuees requiring.immediate.

medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital.

General medical conditions of the victim can be found in Section V below.

The ambulance crew directs the remaining uninjured passenger to proceed to the reception center in Elmwood where both the car and the passenger can be screened for contamination and decontaminated if necessary.

Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated. The drill may be terminated when victim is loaded and the notification of the hospital has been completed. Notification of Sacred Heart Hospital will occur according to established SOPs.
