SUMMARY

On July 16, 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region I, conducted a Host Community Reception Center Exercise in Norwich, Connecticut. This exercise was conducted at the Host Community Reception Center at the Norwich State Technical High School. The exercise began at the Norwich Police Dispatch, continued at the Norwich Host Community Emergency Operation Center, and then at the Norwich Reception Center.

The purpose of this exercise was to assess the capability of the Norwich Host Community, Emergency Management Response Organizations, Fire Department Personnel, and Volunteers to respond to a radiological incident involving the Millstone Power Station. The exercise was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and Local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during this exercise.

This report contains the final evaluation of the Norwich Host Community Emergency Operation Center and Reception Center Exercise.

The Norwich Host Community, Emergency Management Response Organizations, Fire Department Personnel, and Volunteers successfully demonstrated their knowledge to implement their emergency response plans and procedures. There are no deficiencies. There are no Areas Requiring Corrective Action.

INTRODUCTION 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) Parts 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 Station accident in March 1979.

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.

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

Taking the lead in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local goverhlments; 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:

I U.S. Department of Commerce U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission I

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency U.S. Department of Energy U.S. Department of Health and Human Services I

U.S. Center for Disease Control U.S. Department of Transportation U.S. Department of Agriculture U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Food and Drug Administration Representatives of these agencies serve on the FEMA Region I Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Millstone Power Station to FEMA Region I by the State of Connecticut and involved local jurisdictions occurred in 1982. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA in October 1984, under 44 CFR 350.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region I RAC Chairperson.

The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in 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;

• 67 FR 20580, "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology," September 12, 2001 and amended April 25, 2002.

Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed information on the demonstration of applicable exercise objectives at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based format.

Community Reception Center Exercise that was conducted on July 16, 2011. The purpose of the Exercise was to test the capabilities of the reception center staff and the adequacy of the Host Community's Plan to be able to respond to an incident involving the Millstone Power Station.

The following is the status of functional entities evaluated at the Norwich Host Community Emergency Operation Center and Norwich Host Community Reception Center. Please note:

although both facilities were new, staff operated as though there was no change in facility. They were all very focused on the job at hand.

A. Norwich Host Community Emergency Operation Center This successful exercise began at the 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatch where the initial exercise telephone call was received and immediately communicated the Norwich Emergency Management Director.

Norwich Host Community staff were notified to report to the Norwich Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The Norwich EOC staff arrived without delay to the Norwich Emergency Operation Center where leadership was evident by the Norwich Emergency Management Director and Norwich Community Officials. Direction and control was maintained exceptionally well by the Norwich 4

I

Emergency Management Director. All EOC sections gave status updates on a regular basis and as new information came in. When the decision was given by the State to activate the Reception Center staff, this was met immediately with clear communication from the Norwich EOC.

The Norwich EOC staff demonstrated their knowledge and referred to plans and procedures to ensure all was in accordance to the Host Community Reception Center Plans and Procedures. This is truly a model EOC.

Evaluation Area 1 - Emergency Operations Management Sub-element 1.e. I. Equipment And Supplies To Support Operations.

Criterion 1.e.l:

Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. (NUREG-0654, H., J.10.a.b.e.f.j.k, 11, K.3.a.)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.

I EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL Equipment within the facility(ies) should be sufficient and consistent with the role assigned to that i

facility in the ORO's plans and/or procedures in support of emergency operations. Use of maps and displays is encouraged.

All instruments, including air sampling flow meters (field teams only), should be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. They should be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations (or at leastannually for the unmodified CDV-700 series or if there are no manufacturer's recommendations for a specific instrument; modified CDV-700 instruments should be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer.). A label indicating such calibration should be on each instrument or verifiable by other means. Note: Field team equipment is evaluated under 4.a. 1; radiologi cal laboratory equipment under 4.c. 1; reception center and emergency worker facilities' equipment is evaluated under 6.a. 1; and ambulance and medical facilities' equipment is evaluated under 6.d. 1.

Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers should be available for issuance to all categories of emergency workers that could be deployed from that facility. Appropriate direct-reading dosimeters should allow individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the ORO's plans and I

procedures.

Dosimeters should be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replaced, if necessary.

n CDV-138s, due to their documented history of electrical leakage problems, should be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly and replaced if necessary. This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the Annual Letter of Certification, and/or through a staff assistance visit.

Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use 1

by emergency workers, as indicated on rosters; institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and, where stipulated by the plan and/or procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ.

I 12I

Sub-element i.e. 1. Equipment And Supplies To Support Operations. (Continued)

Quantities of dosimetry and KI available and storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the Annual Letter of Certification submission, and/or verified during a Staff Assistance Visit. Available supplies of KI should be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the ORO may produce a letter from FEMA indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

FEMA issues these letters based upon the findings of the certified independent laboratory that performed the analysis at the ORO's request and expense.

At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g.,

vehicles, barriers, traffic cones and signs, etc.) should be available or their availability described.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unl'ess noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - SPECIFIC

1. A limited number of supplies (for demonstration purposes only) will be brought to the Reception Center.

2. Immediate correction will be allowed if initially not being able to show proper equipment, supplies, or documentation.

NONE 13

Evaluation Area 3 - Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.a. 1. Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control.

The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to i

emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. (NUREG-0654, K.3.)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimeters and permanent record dosimeters; provide for direct-reading dosimeters to be read at appropriate frequencies by emergency workers; maintain a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; and provide for establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the i

ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate.

EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL i

OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimetry chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes. appropriate direct-reading dosimetry, is defined as dosimetry that allows l

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 I

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.

I Emergency workers may use any available resources (e.g. 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, e.g., at 14 i

Sub-element 3.a. 1. Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. (Continued) 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 dosimeter.

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 play agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - SPECjFIC

1.

Dosimetry packets will be issued to radiological emergency workers only. (Non-radiological emergency workers such as KI issue and registration staff will not be issued dosimetry.).

2.

Radiological emergency worker knowledge will be demonstrated through evaluator interviews.

3.

Immediate correction. of issues relating to exposure control where remediation is possible will be allowed.

Evaluation Area 3 - Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.b.1 - Implementation of KI Decision Criterion 3.b. 1: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals is maintained. (NUREG-0654, E. 7, J. 10. e., f.)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide radio-protective drugs for emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, if in the I

plan and/or procedures, to the general public for whom immediate evacuation may not be feasible, very difficult, or significantly delayed. While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to emergency workers and institutionalized individuals, the provision of KI to the general public is an ORO option, reflected in ORO's plans and procedures. Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and means of the distribution of radioprotective drugs.

EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL OROs should demonstrate the capability to make KI available to emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the ORO plan and/or procedures, to members of the general public. OROs should demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made. Organizations should have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers and institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. The ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the I

actual ingestion of KI is not necessary. OROs should demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate appropriate instructions on the use of KI for those advised to take it. If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information should be I

provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures.

Emergency workers should demonstrate the basic knowledge of procedures for the use of KI whether I

or not the scenario drives the use of KI. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.

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 play agreement.

Evaluation Area 3 - Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.d. 1. Implementation of Traffic and Access Control -TCP/ACP are established.

Criterion 3.d.1: Appropriate traffic and access control is established. Accurate instructions are provided to traffic and access control personnel. (NUREG-0654, J.10.g, j., k.)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to implement protective action plans, including relocation and restriction of access to evacuated areas. This sub-element focuses on selecting, establishing, and staffing of traffic and access control points and removal of impediments to the flow of evacuation traffic.

EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL OROs should demonstrate the capability to select, establish, and staff appropriate traffic and access control points consistent with evacuation/sheltering decisions (for example evacuating, sheltering and relocation), in a timely manner. OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide instructions to traffic :and access control staff on actions to take when modifications in protective action strategies necessitate changes in evacuation patterns or in the area(s) where access is controlled.

Traffic and access control staff should demonstrate accurate knowledge of their roles and responsibilities. This capability may be demonstrated by actual deployment or by interview in accordance with the extent of play agreement.

In instances where OROs lack authority necessary to control access by certain types of traffic (rail, water, and air traffic), they should demonstrate the capability to contact the State or Federal agencies with authority to control access.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless specified above or indicated in the extent of play agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - SPECIFIC

1.

Traffic control will be demonstrated by interview. Traffic control points, designated in the plan, will not actually be posted by the police.

2.

Immediate correction of issues relating to traffic access and control points where remediation is possible will be allowed.

Criterion 6.a.l: The reception center/emergency worker facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees and/or emergency workers. (NUREG-0654, J.10.h. K.5.b.)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers, while minimizing contamination of.the facility, and registration of evacuees at reception centers.

EXTENT OF PLAY -,GENERAL Radiological. monitoring, decontamination,, an registration facilities for evacuees/ emergency workers should be set up. and. demonstrated, as they would,be..in an actual. emergency or as indicated in the extent of play agreement. This would include adequite space for evacuees' vehicles. Expected demonstration should include 1/3 of the monitoring teams/portal monitors required to monitor 20% of the population allocated to the facility within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Prior to using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking:the instrument(s) for proper 6peration'.

Staff responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees should demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone (EPZ) population planning base within, about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that. can be monitored per. hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure.

A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures specified in the plan and/or procedures, to allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be met.

Monitoring of 'emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.

Decontamination of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview. The availability of provisions for separately showering should be demonstrated or explained. The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination. Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (e.g. partitions, roped-off areas) to separate clean from potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide changes of clothing for individuals whose clothing is contaminated, and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further contamination of evacuees or facilities. In addition, for any individual found to be contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling of potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.

Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action levels for determining the need for decontamination.

They should also explain the procedures for referring evacuees who. cannot be adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow up in accordance with the ORO's plans and procedures.

Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.

Sub-element 6.a. 1. Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers and Registration of Evacuees. (Continued)

The capability to register individuals upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities should be demonstrated.

The registration activities demonstrated should include the establishment of a registration record for each individual, consisting of the individual's name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontamination, if any, or as otherwise designated in the plan. Audio recorders, camcorders, or written records are all acceptable means for registration.

EXTENT 1.

OF PLAY - SPECIFIC At least three of the four portal monitors assigned to Norwich will be demonstrated-two for personnel, one for vehicles (one portal monitor is required for personnel, one for vehicles).

2. At least one staff radiological monitor will demonstrate hand-held instrument monitoring techniques for personnel at the Secondary Monitoring Station.

3. If new survey meters are available, they may be used instead of CDV-700s for demonstration / training purposes only - their use will not be formally evaluated.

4. Contamination control measures and decontamination techniques for at least two males and two females will be simulated.

5.

6.

Vehicle monitoring will be demonstrated via portal monitoring, only.

A representative sample of replacement clothing resources will be available for decontaminated individuals in the male and female decontamination areas.

Evaluation Area 6 - Support Operations/Facilities Sub-element 6.b. 1. Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuee Vehicles and Emergency Worker equipment.

Criterion 6.b. 1: The facility/ORO has adequate procedures and resources for the accomplishment of monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment including vehicles. (NUREG-0654, K.5.b)

Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment, including vehicles.

EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to monitor equipment, including vehicles, for contamination in accordance with the ORO's plans and procedures. Specific attention should be given to equipment, including vehicles, that was in contact with individuals found to be contaminated. The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of equipment including vehicles based on guidance levels and procedures stated in the plan and/or procedures.

The area to be used for monitoring and decontamination should be set up as it would be in an actual emergency, with 'all route markings, instrumentation, record keeping and contamination control measures in place. Monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of one vehicle. It is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface of vehicles. However, the capability to monitor areas such as air intake systems, radiator grills, bumpers, wheel wells, tires, and door handles should be demonstrated. Interior surfaces of vehicles that were in contact with individuals found to be contaminated should also be checked.

Decontamination capabilities, and provisions for vehicles and equipment that cannot be decontaminated, may be simulated and conducted by interview. All activities associated with this criterion 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 play agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - SPECIFIC

1. Per the ORO plan, decontamination of evacuee vehicles is not an emergency function.

Contaminated vehicles will be segregated for later decontamination.

2. Decontamination capabilities and provisions for vehicles and equipment will be demonstrated by discussion.

3. No vehicle interiors will be monitored.

4. Immediate correction of issues relating to monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers and equipment will be allowed.

I Evaluation Area 6 - Support Operations/Facilities Sub-element 6.c. 1 Temporary Care of Evacuees Criterion 6.c. 1: Managers of congregate care facilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines (found in MASS CARE-Preparedness Operations, ARC 3031). Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654, J. 10.h.

12.)

Intent I

This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs demonstrate the capability to establish relocation centers in host areas. Congregate care is normally provided in support of OROs by the American Red Cross under existing letters of agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - GENERAL Under this criterion, demonstration of congregate care centers may be conducted' out of sequence with the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 3031 In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations, as they would be in an actual emergency.

Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees.

Given the substantial differences between I

demonstration and simulation of this criterion, exercise demonstration expectations should'be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.

Congregate care staff should also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate, and have been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.

If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (e.g., cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility(ies). However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

All activities associated with this criterion 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 play agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY - SPECIFIC 1, Activation of congregate care facilities will be simulated on the day of the exercise.
