After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMAs activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351, and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP) that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979. In October 2005, the REP Program was moved to the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency/Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (DHS/FEMA/REPP).

FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMAs (now DHS/FEMA/REPs) initial and continued approval of tribal, State, and local governments radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local government participation in joint exercises with licensees.

DHS/FEMA/REPs 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 the following Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

• U.S. Department of Agriculture

• U.S. Department of Commerce

• U.S. Department of Defense 3

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Emergency Planning Zone

Description:

The SSES is located in northeastern Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna River in Salem Township, Luzerne County. The plant is owned and operated by Pennsylvania Power & Light Company.

Two boiling water reactors generate an electrical output of 1,194 megawatts each. Unit 1 began commercial operation on June 8, 1983, and Unit 2 on February 12, 1985.

The site encompasses 2,566 acres and is divided into two parts. The principal portion, containing the major operating equipment and buildings, is located 3,000 feet west of the river. The other portion houses the water intake apparatus located near U.S. Route 11. Route 11 passes through the site in a north/south direction, providing both primary and secondary access to the plant. The plant occupies approximately 100 acres of the site. The coordinates are approximately 41° 530 north and 76° 855 west.

The topography of the plant site is hilly, with elevations ranging from 500 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at the river to about 1,100 feet above MSL at the northwest corner of the site. The plant grade is 670 feet above MSL. The minimum exclusion distance is 1,800 feet; all land within the exclusion area is owned by SSES. The surface soil in the area is considered to be glacial outwash and glacial till soils, which are typical of uplands and terraces. The bedrock consists primarily of red shale of the catskill formation.

The immediate vicinity of the plant is rural, surrounded by farms and undeveloped land. A total of 76 sirens are used for notification of the public; the sirens were installed for coverage of the plume exposure pathway. The nearest population center is Shickshinny Borough (Luzerne County), with a population of 959, located about four miles north of the plant. The nearest population center with more than 20,000 people is the City of Hazleton, with a population of 23,329, located 13 miles to the southeast.

The Berwick Airfield in Salem Township, Luzerne County, serves private aircraft and lies approximately five miles west of the plant. The airfield presents minimal risk to the plant. The closest major airport is the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport, located 28 miles northeast of the site.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design On April 6, 2011 a medical services drill was evaluated in relation to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III, Radiological Emergnecy Preparedness Program (REPP). The purpose of the drill was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The drill was held in accordance with DHSs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures. The most recent previous FEMA evaluated medical services drill for this site was conducted on October 1, 2009.

FEMA, Region III, wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the risk jurisdiction of Columbia County, the Greater Columbia Medical Transport ambulance, and Bloomsburg Hospital which participated in this drill.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the drill 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.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities The objective of the SSES/Bloomsburg Hospital Medical Services Medical Services (MS-1)

Drill was to demonstrate that the response organizations have the personnel, equipment, training, and knowledge to effectively assess the condition of a potentially radioactively contaminated patient, protect against cross contamination, transport, and transfer the patient to a hospital where the patient can then be decontaminated and treated. The hospital personnel are responsible for preparing a receiving and treatment area, operating radiological detection equipment, and implementing proper emergency worker protective procedures.

All activities were evaluated in accordance with current FEMA directives and guidance and were performed in accordance with current hospital plans and procedures.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station C HAP TER 1: G ENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The 2011 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill is a coordinated, supervised activity employed to test operations and functions of the participating entities (e.g., how the medical transport and hospital respond to conduct a decontamination drill) as they pertain to Nuclear Power Plant incident. An evaluated drill requires detailed planning. To conduct an effective drill, 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 Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency with the input, advice, and assistance of the Exercise Planning Team. The 2011 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill is evidence of the growing partnership between State and local jurisdictions for response to the threats our Nation and communities face.

Confidentiality The 2010 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill is an unclassified exercise. 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 Controller and Evaluator (C/E) Handbooks are restricted documents intended for controllers and evaluators only.

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 Pennsylvania 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 elements described in the 67 FR 20580 (April 25, 2002) and Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (August 2002) to develop this exercise.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station The objective of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Pennsylvania 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 jurisdictions 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 Pennsylvania 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.

Assumptions Assumptions constitute the implied factual foundation for the exercise and, hence, are assumed to be present before the start of the exercise. The following general assumptions apply to the 2011 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill:

• The exercise will be graded against the REPP criteria. Elements outside the scope of the REP 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 realism. Alternatively, constraints are exercise limitations that may detract from 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.

• 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. PEMA observers will be present at selected locations as assigned by the Lead Controller. PEMA 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.

• 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 exercise, the controller handbook is an integral part of the Extent of Play and is designed to help exercise Controllers conduct an effective exercise. The Handbook 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 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill, the MSEL will be used primarily to initiate activities. Notifications will not go out from the utility in the same manner as they would in a real event. They will be initiated by the Lead Controller through the 911 Center. All communications will be preceded and terminated by the phrase This is a Drill.

Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin at approximately 0800, April 6, 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 and the Utility.

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

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

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

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

• 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 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 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 others 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.

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.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

• 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/ 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/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 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 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 venues 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.

PEMA Observers and Liaison Officers PEMA will assign Observers and Liaison Officers to each site that is being evaluated in the 2011 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 Drill. The Lead Controller will provide a list of Observers and Liaison Officers to the appropriate Off-Site Response Organizations prior to the day of the exercise. All Observers and Liaison Officers will receive a pre-exercise briefing.

• 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 organizations or agencys 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 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station MS-1 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.

If a real emergency occurs during the exercise, the exercise at your respective venue may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the controller(s) at each venue.

After the exercise, data collected by Controllers, Evaluators, and Players will be used to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the context of the exercise design objectives.

Exercise Evaluation Guides DHS has developed Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs) that identify expected activities for evaluation, provide consistency across exercises, and link individual tasks to disciplines and expected outcomes.

The EEGs selected by the Exercise Planning Team are contained in the evaluator materials packet along with the Evaluator Handbook. These EEGs have been selected because the activities they describe can be expected to be observed during the exercise and will guide evaluation to match the exercise design objectives. Supplemental REP evaluation material designed for the exercise may also be used.

DEBRIEFING Immediately following the completion of exercise play, Controllers will facilitate a debriefing with Players from their assigned location. The debriefing is an opportunity for Players to voice their opinions on the exercise and their own performance. At this time, Evaluators can also seek clarification on certain actions and what prompted Players to take them. The debriefing should not last more than 30 minutes. Evaluators should take notes during the debriefing and include these observations in their analysis.

Exercise Evaluation Hotwash Controllers, Evaluators, and selected exercise participants will attend a facilitated Controller /

Evaluator/Player Hotwash on April 6 at 1300 at the Bloomsburg Hospital. During the Hotwash these individuals will discuss their observations of the exercise in an open environment to clarify actions taken during the exercise.

8. Drill Activities Schedule:

Drill activities are scheduled to commence on or about 0800, April 6, 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. PEMA 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.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 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 OROs 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 OROs plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Radiological briefings will be provided to address exposure limits and procedures to replace personnel approaching limits and how permission to exceed limits is obtained At any time, players may ask other players or supervisors to clarify radiological information.

In Pennsylvania, emergency workers outside the EPZ do not have turn-back values.

Standard issue of dosimetry and potassium iodide for each category of emergency worker is as follows:

Category A: 1 PRD, 1 DRD, and 1 unit of KI Category B: 1 PRD and 1 unit of KI Category C: 1 PRD All locations that have dosimetry equipment indicated within their Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) will make the dosimetry equipment (and KI, as appropriate) available for inspection by the Federal Evaluator. In order to demonstrate an understanding of the use of the dosimetry equipment, KI and associated forms; the location need only remove and distribute /

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

Evaluation Area 6 Sub-element 6.d.1 - Transportation and Treatment of Contaminated Injured Individuals INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) provide that arrangements ae made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals.

Criterion 6.d.1: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals.

EXTENT OF PLAY Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts should not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 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 OROs 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.
