After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 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 Power Station accident in March 1979.

The FEMA rule, 44 CFR 350, establishes the policies and procedures for 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 government participation in joint exercises with licensees.

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

- The review and evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) developed by State and local governments;

- The evaluation of exercises conducted by State and local governments to determine whether such plans can be implemented;

- 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 (44 CFR Part 354, Appendix A, September 14, 1993), now under revision to reflect DHS responsibilities;

- 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,

- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,

- U.S. Department of Interior,

- U.S. Department of Transportation, 3

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration,

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Providing regulatory oversight, rule-making and guidance, as necessary. The State of Delaware and local jurisdictions submitted their RERPs for the S/HCNGS to FEMA Region III and were granted formal approval of the RERPs on August 24, 1998, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP Medical Services Drill was evaluated on'April 27, 2011, by FEMA Region III REPP to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations (S/HCNGS). The purpose of this report is to present the drill results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency involving a radiologically contaminated, injured individual. Please note that throughout this report the terms Drill and Exercise may be used synonymously.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the Regional Assistance Committee Chairperson from FEMA, Region III, and approved by DHS/FEMA/REPP Headquarters. There were no Deficiencies, Areas Requiring Corrective Action, or Planning Issues identified as a result of this exercise/drill.

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; "Guidance Memorandum (GM) MS-1, Medical Services, (November 1986), and "FEMA Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual, August 2002.

Emergency Planning Zone Description The S/HCNGS site is located on the east bank of the Delaware River in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey, about 18 miles south of Wilmington, Delaware. The 700-acre site is on the southern end of Artificial Island, a 3-mile-long, 1-mile-wide, man-made peninsula. The peninsula is connected to the mainland by a strip of tideland formed by hydraulic fill from dredging operations on the Delaware River. The tideland was constructed by the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. The coordinates of the site are latitude 39'27'46 north and longitude 75O32'08"' west. Two pressurized water reactors (Salem) and one boiling water reactor (Hope Creek) are located on the island. Each Salem unit generates a maximum output of 1,106 megawatts (MW); Unit 1 commenced commercial operations in June 1977 and Unit 2 in October 1981. The Hope Creek Unit, which generates a maximum output of 1,031 MW, became operational in December 1986.

The site lies on the low coastal plain of New Jersey, surrounded by extensive marshlands and 5

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations meadowlands. The land within the two Delaware counties (New Castle and Kent) near the site is either undeveloped (48 percent) or used for agricultural purposes (42 percent). Major farm products within a 25-mile radius of the site include vegetables, poultry, dairy products, and indigenous field crops.

The nearest major population center (more than 25,000 people) is Wilmington, Delaware, which has a population of 71,529 and lies 20 miles north of S/HCNGS. The maximum population distribution in Delaware, including residents and transients, is 0 within the 2-mile EPZ, 850 within the 5-mile EPZ, and 24,976 within the 10-mile EPZ. There are 37 early warning sirens in the Delaware portion of the EPZ.

The Ingestion Planning Zone (IPZ) is approximately 7,850 square miles in area, which is equivalent to a 50-mile radius around the plant site. The States of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have jurisdictions within the IPZ. The largest city within the IPZ is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a population of 1,526,006, about 46 miles from the plant site.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design On April 27, 2011, a Medical Services (MS-i) drill was evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in relation to the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations (S/HCNGS). The purpose of the drill was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological medical emergency. This drill was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP).

The most recent evaluated medical drill associated with this site was conducted on May 13, 2009.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Delaware, the risk county of New Castle: Odessa Fire Company/Emergency Medical Services, and the Christiana Health Care Services, Christiana Hospital, who participated in this drill.

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 drill.

This report contains the evaluation of the drill.

The State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and adequately implemented them. No Deficiencies and no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) were identified as a result of this drill.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities A. Demonstrate the ability to respond to a radiation medical emergency following the procedures of Odessa Fire Company/EMS and the Christiana Health Care Services, Christiana Hospital.

B. Demonstrate timely and accurate communications between the hospital and off-site response agencies. (Telephones will be used in lieu of radios whenever possible to limit the potential 10

C. Demonstrate the assessment and documentation of radiological conditions during the simulated accident.

D. Demonstrate correct priorities and appropriate techniques in EMS, transportation of patients and pre-hospital and hospital emergency care of radioactively contaminated patients E. Demonstrate inter-agency cooperation between Odessa Fire Company and the Hospital.

2.3 Scenario Summary A field monitoring team member has been in PC's for approximately one hour, and has been taking field monitoring samples at the Field Monitoring Station adjacent to The Hearth, 3147 DuPont Parkway, Odessa, Delaware during a General Emergency, which has occurred at the Salem Nuclear Plant in Salem, New Jersey, with a release of radioactive materials. She becomes dizzy and lightheaded, falls to the groundin a near syncopal episode, and sustains abrasions to her hands, and knees. The fall causes her PC's to rip at the knees. Her team member calls for assistance, describes what happened, and requests an ambulance.

The New Castle County (NCC) 911 Communications Center dispatches an Odessa Fire/EMS squad and NCC Paramedics to the scene. As part of their normal procedures, the 911 Communications Center also notifies Christiana Hospital to alert them about the arrival of an injured person with possible radiological contamination.

Immediately after the EMS arrives at the accident scene, the team member tells the EMS team what has happened. The EMS team performs medical assessment. The EMS team may perform radiation surveillance. During the trip to the Christiana Health Care Services, Christiana Hospital, the EMS team checks the patient's vital signs.

Upon arrival at the Christiana Health Care Services, Christiana Hospital, the medical team will meet the EMS team at the exterior entrance to the decontamination unit. The hospital medical team will assess the patient's condition.

The medical team surveys the victim for radiological contamination.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill is a full-scale exercise (FSE) designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to nuclear power plant accidents. An FSE is a complex event that requires detailed planning. To conduct an effective exercise, subject matter experts (SMEs) and local representatives from numerous agencies have taken part in the planning process and will take part in exercise conduct and evaluation.

This Exercise Plan (ExPlan) was produced at the direction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency with the input, advice, and assistance of the Exercise Planning Team. The 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill is evidence of the growing partnership between State and local jurisdictions for response to the threats our Nation and communities face.

Confidentiality The 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-1 Drill is an unclassifiedexercise.

The control of information is based more on public sensitivity regarding the nature of the exercise than on the actual exercise content. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use of exercise planners, controllers, and evaluators, but players may view other materials deemed necessary to their performance. This ExPlan may be viewed by all exercise participants, but the Controllerand Evaluator (C/E) Handbooks are restricteddocuments intendedfor controllersand evaluatorsonly.

All exercise participants should use appropriate guidelines to ensure the proper control of information within their areas of expertise and protect this material in accordance with current Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency directives.

Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Exercise Planning Team.

Purpose The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate player actions against current response plans and capabilities for a nuclear power plant-related incident, and to comply with the requirements of 44 CFR 350 and the guidelines of NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. Exercise planners utilized the Chapter 1: General Information FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 26

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations elements described in the 67 FR 20580 (April 25, 2002) and Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (August 2002) to develop this exercise.

The objective of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency is to demonstrate reasonable assurance that the public can be protected during a nuclear power plant emergency.

Target Capabilities The establishment of the National Preparedness Priorities have steered the focus of homeland security toward a capabilities-based planning approach. Capabilities-based planning focuses on planning under uncertainty, since the next danger or disaster can never be forecast with complete accuracy. Therefore, capabilities-based planning takes an all-hazards approach to planning and preparation which builds capabilities that can'be applied to a wide variety of incidents. States and Urban Areas use capabilities-based planning to identify a baseline assessment of their homeland security efforts by comparing their current capabilities against the Target Capabilities List (TCL) and the critical tasks of the Universal Task List (UTL). This approach identifies gaps in current capabilities and focuses efforts on identifying and developing priority capabilities and tasks for the jurisdiction. These priority capabilities are articulated in the jurisdiction's homeland security strategy and Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP), of which this exercise is a component.

The capabilities listed below have been selected by the Exercise Planning Team (EPT) from the priority capabilities identified in the Delaware Multi-Year TEP and the FEMA Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual (August 2002), Exercise Evaluation Criteria. These capabilities. provide the foundation for development of the exercise objectives and scenario, as the purpose of this exercise is to measure and validate performance of these capabilities and their associated critical tasks.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations CHAPTER 2: EXERCISE LOGISTICS Exercise Summary General The 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill is designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise their plans and procedures for responding to an incident at a nuclear power plant. The 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-1 Drill will be conducted on April 27, 2011.

Exercise play is scheduled to begin at 0900. The exercise may conclude when the Lead Controller, in consultation with FEMA, determine that the exercise objectives have been met at each venue.

Assumptions Assumptions constitute the implied factual foundation for the exercise and, hence, are present before the start of the exercise. The following general assumptions apply to the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Exercise:

The exercise will be graded against the REPP criteria. Elements outside the scope of the REPP criteria will not be graded.

This exercise will be conducted in a no-fault learning environment wherein systems and processes, not individuals, will be evaluated.

Exercise simulation will be realistic and plausible, containing sufficient detail from which to respond.

Exercise players will react to the information and situations as they are presented, in the same manner as if this had been a real event.

Constructs and Constraints Constructs are exercise devices designed to enhance or improve exercise realism. Alternatively, constraints are exercise limitations that may detract from exercise realism. Constraints may be the inadvertent result of a faulty construct or may pertain to financial and staffing issues.

Although there are a number of constructs and constraints (also known as exercise artificialities) for any exercise, the EPT recognizes and accepts the following as necessary:

Players will utilize normal, everyday communications methods, channels, and equipment.

Out-of-Sequence play is allowed.

Chapter 2: Exercise Logistics FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 29

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations

Certain simulations are allowed.

The participating agencies may need to balance exercise play with real-world emergencies. It is understood that real-world emergencies will take priority.

Exercise Participants The following are the categories of participants involved in this exercise; note that the term "participant" refers to all categories listed below, not just those playing in the exercise:

Players. Players are agency personnel who have an active role in responding to the simulated emergency and perform their regular roles and responsibilities during the exercise. Players initiate actions that will respond to and mitigate the simulated emergency.

Controllers.Controllers set up and operate the exercise site; plan and manage exercise play; act in the roles of response individuals and agencies not playing in the exercise.

Controllers direct the pace of exercise play and routinely include members from the exercise planning team. They provide key data to players and may prompt or initiate certain player actions to ensure exercise continuity.

Evaluators.Evaluators are chosen to evaluate and provide feedback on a designated functional area of the exercise. They are chosen based on their expertise in the functional area(s) they have been assigned to review during the exercise and their familiarity with local emergency response procedures. Evaluators assess and document players' performance against established emergency plans and exercise evaluation criteria, in accordance with HSEEP standards and within the bounds of REP Program guidance and regulations. They are typically chosen from amongst planning committee members or the agencies/organizations that are participating in the exercise. FEMA evaluators are members of the Region III REP Program staff, representatives of the Radiological Assistance Committee, and contractors. FEMA Evaluators will not serve as Controllers.

" Actors. Actors are exercise participants who act or simulate specific roles during exercise play. They are typically volunteers who have been recruited to play the role of victims or other bystanders.

Observers. Observers visit or view selected segments of the exercise. Observers do not play in the exercise, and do not perform any control or evaluation functions. Observers will view the exercise from a designated observation area and will be asked to remain within the observation area during the exercise. DEMA observers will be present at selected locations as assigned by the Lead Controller. DEMA observers will receive an observer briefing prior to the day of the exercise. Any V.I.P.s or other visitors will be handled by each agency or location (Municipal EOC, County EOC, etc.) according to that agencies' policies and procedures.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Support Staff. Exercise support staff includes individuals who are assigned administrative and logistical support tasks during the exercise (i.e. registration, catering, etc.)

Exercise Tools Controller and Evaluator Handbooks Due to the brevity of this drill, the controller handbook is an integral part of the Extent of Play and is designed to help exercise Controllers conduct an effective exercise. The Handbooks also enables Controllers and Evaluators to understand their roles and responsibilities in exercise execution and evaluation.

Master Scenario Events List The MSEL outlines benchmarks, as well as injects that drive exercise play. It also details realistic input to the exercise players as well as information expected to emanate from simulated organizations (i.e., those nonparticipating organizations, agencies, and individuals who would usually respond to the situation). An inject will include several items of information, such as inject time, intended recipient, responsible controller, inject type, a short description of the event, and the expected player action.

For the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-1 Drill the MSEL will be used primarily for out of sequence exercise play. During the plume phase the exercise will be driven by the simulator at the utility. Notifications will go out from the utility in the same manner as they would in a real event with all communications being preceded and terminated by the phrase "This is a Drill". Additionally, PSEG Nuclear, LLC field teams will be utilizing "exercise measuring instruments" that receive input from the Virtual Plume software. The Virtual Plume software will be programmed to reflect expected conditions at any given time during the exercise.

Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin at approximately 0900, April 27, 2011, with a situation update going to each participating venue. Play will proceed according to the events outlined in the MSEL, in accordance with established plans and procedures. The exercise will conclude upon the completion of operations and attainment of the exercise objectives, as determined by the Lead Controller after consultation with FEMA.

Exercise Rules The following are the general rules that govern exercise play:

Chapter 2: Exercise Logistics FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 31

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations

" Real-world emergency actions take priority over exercise actions.

Exercise participants will comply with real-world response procedures, unless otherwise directed by control staff.

All communications (written, radio, telephone, etc.) made during the exercise will begin and end with the phrase, "This is a drill."

Exercise participants placing telephone calls or initiating radio communication must identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with whom they wish to speak.

Safety Requirements General Exercise participant safety takes priority over exercise events. Although the organizations involved in the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill come from various response agencies, they share the basic responsibility for ensuring a safe environment for all personnel involved in the exercise. In addition, aspects of an emergency response are dangerous. Professional health and safety ethics should guide all participants to operate in their assigned roles in the safest manner possible. The following general requirements apply to the exercise:

" An exercise Safety Controller will be identified and be responsible for participant safety.

All exercise controllers, evaluators, and staff will serve as safety observers while the exercise activities are underway. Any safety concerns must be immediately reported to the Safety Controller.

Participants will be responsible for their own and each other's safety during the exercise.

It is the responsibility of all persons associated with the exercise to stop play if, in their opinion, a real safety problem exists. Once the problem is corrected, exercise play can be restarted.

All organizations will comply with their respective environmental, health, and safety plans and procedures, as well as the appropriate Federal, State, and local environmental health and safety regulations.

Exercise Setup Exercise setup involves the pre-staging and dispersal of exercise materials; including registration materials, documentation, signage, and other equipment, as appropriate.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Accident Reporting and Real Emergencies Anyone observing a participant who is seriously ill or injured will provide aid within their training, call the County 911 Center for additional aid or enlist the aid of another person to call, and advise the nearest controller. Anyone calling County 911 will use the phrase "this is not a drill" prior to explaining the injury or illness.

The controller who is made aware of a real emergency will contact the County 911 center (if this call has not already been made) and request the appropriate aid. The controller will use the phrase "this is not a drill" prior to explaining the injury or illness.

The controller will then contact the Lead Controller and Exercise Director with the following information:

o Venue/function o Location within the venue/function o Condition of injured parties o Requirements for medical aid, fire suppression, rescue, or security resources.

If the nature of the emergency requires a suspension of the exercise at the venue/function, all exercise activities at that facility will immediately cease. Exercise play may resume at that venue/function once the emergency situation has been addressed.

Exercise play at other venue/functions should not cease if one venue/function has declared a "Real-World Emergency" unless they are reliant on the affected venue.

If a real emergency occurs that affects the entire exercise, the exercise may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the Exercise Director and Lead Controller. The notification will be made from the State Emergency Operations Center. The Lead Controller will notify the SimCell by phone.

Site Access Security Exercise play for the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill will be conducted at two sites with varying degrees of security requirements. Individual Site Controllers will be in charge of entry into their respective exercise sites. To prevent confusion and interruption of the exercise, access to the exercise sites will be limited to exercise participants and approved Observers only. Players should advise their venue's controller or evaluator if an unauthorized person is present. Each organization should follow its internal security procedures, augmented as necessary to comply with exercise requirements.

The Exercise Director for the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill is the Delaware Emergency Management Agency Lead Controller.

Trusted Agents Trusted agents are exercise planners and participants who are responsible for developing the Scenario and the Master Scenario Events List (MSEL). These documents are restricted and are not available to other members of the Exercise Planning Team, Players, or other Participants.

The trusted agents for the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-1 Drill include the Exercise Director, Lead Controller, PSEG Nuclear, LLC Representative, FEMA Emergency Management Program Specialist.

Lead Controller The Lead Controller also functions as a Trusted Agent. As such he is involved in developing the Master Scenario Events List and is privy to the scenario used at the Utility to generate exercise play. The Lead Controller is responsible for scheduling controllers at the "Out of Sequence" components of the exercise and the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-1 Drill. The Lead Controller monitors exercise progress and coordinates decisions regarding deviations or significant changes to the scenario caused by unexpected developments during play. The Lead Controller monitors actions, by individual Controllers and ensures they implement all designated and modified actions at the appropriate time. The Lead Controller will be the DEMA REP Training Program Manager and is stationed at the Christiania Hospital Emergency Room during the Drill.

Controllers At least one controller will be onsite with every facility participating in the exercise. The controller at each location will coordinate any changes that impact the scenario or affect other areas of play through the Lead Controller. The individual controllers issue exercise materials to players as required and monitor the exercise timeline. Controllers also provide injects to the players as described in the MSEL. The Trusted Agent from the Utility will act as the Controller Chapter 3: Player Guidelines FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 36

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations at the Utility Site during the exercise and the PSEG Trusted Agent will act as Controller for the PSEG Field Teams.

Lead Evaluator The Lead Evaluator is responsible for the overall evaluation of the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill. The Lead Evaluator monitors exercise progress and stays in contact with the Lead Controller regarding changes to the exercise during play. The Lead Evaluator monitors actions of individual Evaluators and ensures they are tracking progress of the players in accordance with the Overview of Play. The Lead Evaluator debriefs the evaluators after the exercise and oversees the entire evaluation and After Action process. The Lead Evaluator will be the FEMA Region III REP Site Specialist.

Evaluators Evaluators work under the direction of the Lead Evaluator, and as a team with Controllers.

Evaluators are Subject Matter Experts who record events that take place during the exercise and assess/submit documentation for review and inclusion in the After Action Report (AAR).

Evaluators should refrain from any direct interaction with the players during exercise play except with the facilitation of a Controller for clarification of issues or during scheduled interviews.

Player Instructions Before the Exercise

Review the appropriate emergency plans, procedures, and exercise support documents.

Arrive at the exercise location as instructed. Wear appropriate uniform/identification badge.

If you gain knowledge of the scenario before the exercise, notify a controller so that appropriate actions can be taken to ensurea valid evaluation.

Read your Player Information Handout, which includes information on exercise safety.

Please sign in.

During the Exercise

Respond to the exercise events and information as if the emergency were real, unless otherwise directed by an exercise controller.

Chapter 3: Player Guidelines FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 37

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations

Controllers will only give you information they are specifically directed to disseminate.

You are expected to obtain other necessary information through existing emergency information channels.

Do not engage in personal conversations with controllers, evaluators, observers, or media personnel while the exercise is in progress. If you are asked an exercise-related question, give a short, concise answer. If you are busy and cannot immediately respond, indicate so, but report back with an answer at the earliest time possible.

If you do not understand the scope of the exercise or if you are uncertain about an organization's or agency's participation in an exercise, ask a controller.

Parts of the scenario may seem implausible. Recognize that the exercise has objectives to satisfy and may require the incorporation of unrealistic aspects. Note that every effort has been made by the trusted agents to balance realism with safety and the creation of an effective learning and evaluation environment.

All exercise communication will begin and end with the phrase "This is a drill". This is a precaution taken so anyone overhearing the conversation will not mistake the exercise play for a real-world emergency.

When communicating with the SimCell, identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with which you want to speak.

Verbalize out loud when taking an action. This will ensure that evaluators are made aware of critical actions as they occur.

Maintain a log of your activities. Many times, this log may include documentation of activities missed by a controller or evaluator.

Following the Exercise

At the end of the exercise at your facility, participate in a debriefing with the controllers and evaluators.

Provide all rosters, sign in sheets, logs, messages, notes or materials generated from the exercise to your controller or evaluator for review and inclusion in the AAR.

Simulation Guidelines Because the 2011 Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations MS-I Drill is of limited duration and scope, the physical description of what would fully occur at the incident sites and surrounding areas will be relayed to the Players by Simulators or Controllers.

7. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP) Evaluators:

FEMA Evaluators will be present at designated demonstration locations.

8. Drill Activities Schedule:

Drill activities are scheduled to commence on or about 0800, April 27 2011, and continue until the participants have completed the drill objectives and demonstrated the Exercise Evaluation Criteria.

9. Stand Down:

Participants and agencies will Stand Down when the Controllers have confirmed with the evaluators that all evaluation criteria have been demonstrated and when the State and County Observers are satisfied that the Objectives have been met.

10. General concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public.

Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment corrected.

11.- Re-demonstration During the drill any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the exercise, provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise. Refresher training may be provided by the players, observers, and/or controllers. Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. Re-demonstrations will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluators. DEMA may advise the RAC Chair prior to initiating any re-demonstrations.

It is permissible to extend the demonstration window, within reason, to accommodate the re-demonstration. Activities corrected from a re-demonstration will be so noted.

For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the ORO's plans and procedures.

Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker should report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans and procedures. OROs should demonstrate the actions described in the plan and/or procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (for example, written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be affected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, for example, at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimetry.

Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage, should be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of Appendix B: Extent of Play Information FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 48

At any time, players may ask otherplayers or supervisors to clarif/y radiologicalinformation.

In Delaware,emergency workers outside the EPZ do ;ot have turn-back values.

Standardissue of dosimetry andpotassium iodidefor each category of emergency worker is as follows:

Category A: 1 PRD, 1 DRD, and I unit of K1 Category B: 1 PRD and I unit of K!

Category C: 1 PRD All locations that have dosimetry equipment indicatedwithin their RadiologicalEmergency Response Plan (RERP) will make the dosimetry equipment (andK!, as appropriate)availablefor inspection by the FederalEvaluator. In order to demonstratean understandingof the use of the dosimetry equipment, KI and associatedforms; the location need only remove and distribute/

issue a maximum of six (6) units ofdosimetry from their inventory. Simulation PRDs with mock serialnumbers may be used.

Evaluation Area 6 Sub-element 6.d I - Transportationand Treatment of ContaminatedInjuredIndividuals INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) provide that arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals.

Criterion 6.d.l: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals.

Appendix B: Extent of Play Information FOR OFFICIAL USE.ONLY 49

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations EXTENT OF PLAY Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts should not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

OROs should demonstrate the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities. An ambulance should be used for response to the victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended time, OROs may use any vehicle (e.g., car, truck, or van) to transport the victim to the medical facility. Normal communications between the ambulance/dispatcher and the receiving medical facility should be demonstrated. If a substitute vehicle is used for transport to the medical facility, this communication should occur before releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation monitoring results, if available. In addition, the ambulance crew should demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew would be monitored and decontaminated, if required, or whom to contact for such information.

Monitoring of the victim may be performed before transport or en route, or may be deferred to the medical facility. Before using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities should be completed as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate contamination control measures should be demonstrated before and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to activate and set up a radiological emergency area for treatment. Equipment and supplies should be available for treatment of contaminated injured individuals.

The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and maintain records of all survey measurements and samples taken. All procedures for collection and analysis of samples and decontamination of the individual should be demonstrated or described to the evaluator. Waste water from decontamination operations does not need to be collected.

All activities associated with this criterion should be based on the ORO's plans and/or procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent-of-play agreement.
