EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On August 3, 2011 a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) located near Glen Rose, Texas. The previous exercise at this site was conducted on April 7 - 8, 2009. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of preparedness of state and local responders to a simulated emergency at CPNPP. This exercise was conducted in accordance with U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) policy and guidance concerning implementation of state and local emergency preparedness plans and procedures.
The qualifying exercise to satisfy FEMA rule 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 350 requirements for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing to operate the facility was conducted in July 1989. Including the exercise on August 3, 2011, there have been twelve FEMA Region VI evaluated exercises and several drills conducted since that time.
FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge the dedicated participation of many individuals in the State of Texas and Somervell and Hood Counties. Some of these participants are paid civil servants whose full-time job is to protect the health and safety of the public within the jurisdictions they serve. Many more are volunteers who make themselves available to perform a service to the community in which they live. Their participation is particularly noteworthy.
This report contains the final written evaluation of the biennial exercise. The state and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of the emergency plans and procedures and properly implemented them. There were no Deficiencies, no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) and three Plan Issues identified during this exercise.
Updated plans and procedures have been received by our office resolving one of the identified plan issues (14-11-1e1-P-01). Additionally, one ARCA from the 2009 exercise remains unresolved (from a location not demonstrated during this exercise).

SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN
SUMMARY
2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region VI Office evaluated the exercise on August 3, 2011 to assess the capabilities of the local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP). The purpose of this report is to represent the results of the findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations during a simulated radiological emergency.
2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise objectives and Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be exercise are discussed in the Exercise Plan (ExPlan), Appendix F.
2.3 Scenario Summary The exercise scenario was developed to evaluate the response of the exercise participants to an incident requiring evacuation of the public from the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) surrounding the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP). The scenario provided for the evaluation of the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), Texas Department of State Health Services-Radiation Control Program (DSHS-RCP), and Hood and Somervell Counties to conduct evacuations of the public.
In conjunction with the exercise, an out-of-sequence medical drill was also conducted. The medical drill scenario was developed to evaluate the response of drill participants to an incident at Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) requiring the transportation, treatment, and decontamination of a radiologically contaminated injured individual. The drill scenario provided for the evaluation of Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Cleburne and Somervell Emergency Medical Services (EMS) staff.

ISSUE NO.: 14-11-1e1-P-01 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.
CONDITION: The quantities and types of radiological equipment did not match Table D-1-1 in the Hood County Annex D - Radiological Protection.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Hood County has turned in old equipment and the State of Texas has replaced equipment which did not match the equipment list. This has been newer equipment and different models. As a result the equipment table in the Hood 14 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

County Annex D is not accurately reflective of actual equipment on hand.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, K.3,A; Interim REP Program Manual Criterion 1.e.1 EFFECT: The equipment referenced and described in the procedures should match the equipment that is available in order to avoid confusion during emergencies.
Corresponding forms used in Emergency Worker Exposure control would not reflect the right equipment issued to the emergency worker and require updating as well.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Hood County corrected the annex table and corresponding forms to accurately reflect the equipment types and quantities on hand in the EOC.
NOT DEMONSTRATED: None PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: 5.a.1.
ISSUE NO.: 14-09-5a1-A-05 ISSUE: EAS message CP-1 was faxed to EAS radio station WBAP at 1058. The radio station received the message at 1101. Hood County called and confirmed receipt of the message at 1106, and transmission of the EAS message commenced (simulated) at 1108. The sirens were sounded for the evaluator at the Hood County EOC at 1110 and the evaluator confirmed the time with the individual that had demonstrated the siren sounding. Hood County contends that the siren sounding at 1110 was for demonstration purposes only and that the official time for the alert was 1101.
The process for EAS delivery requires that the alert signal precedes the instructional message. Using the timeframes as observed by the evaluator, the instructional message preceded the alert signal and would not have been in compliance with current guidance. In the timeframes submitted by the county the sirens were sounded at 1101 and the radio station commenced broadcast of the message at 1108. Using these times, the transmission of the instructional message falls outside of the five minute requirement contained in the REP Program Manual (page I-38). Both scenarios result in an EAS process that falls outside of the program standards.

ISSUE NO.: 14-09-5a1-A-06 ISSUE: The Emergency Alert System message did not properly identify the state or local government organization and the official with the authority for providing the EAS alert and notification message.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Following the GE at 1004, EAS and Special News Broadcast messages CP-8 and CP-24 contained the local government organization and official, Hood County Judge, with the autority to release the messages which closed the ARCA 14-09-5a1-A-06.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: During the exercise, the Somervell County Public Information Officer prepared four EAS messages. Each message contained the required state or local government organization and the official with the authority for releasing the EAS alert and notification message. This resolves ARCA 14-09-5a1-A-10.

ISSUE NO.: 14-07-5b1-A-03 ISSUE: The Somervell County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Hood County EOC coordinated and designated Hood County to release the EAS message which was intended to contain information on both counties. No reference or specific information on Somervell County was contained in the message. The Somervell County EOC released a supplemental special news broadcast message following the EAS message. The supplemental message did not contain required information concerning the precautionary action decision to evacuate the Glen Rose Independent School District schools.
