Enclosed is one copy of the After Action Report (AAR) / Improvement Plan (IP) for the July 27, 2011, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Byron Station. The State of Illinois, Ogle and Winnebago Counties, and the utility owner/operator, Exelon Nuclear, participated in this exercise. The AAR /IP was prepared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.

No Deficiencies were identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise.

There were two new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during this exercise and one ARCA from the previous exercise that was resolved.

The ARCA for the State of Illinois was identified under Criterion 2.b.2 - The SIRC Manager did not reconsider restricting air traffic after a change in radiological conditions, allowing aircraft to fly through the plume.

An ARCA for Ogle County was identified under Criterion 3.c.2 - The Ogle County Schools Liaison did not advise Loredo Taft Field Campus to evacuate per the Protective Action Decision to evacuate the schools located within Sub-Area 19.

An ARCA from a previous exercise for the Ogle County was identified under Criterion 5.a. 1-The Ogle County Emergency Management Coordinator did not instruct the radio station to repeat recorded Local Radio Stations Messages every 15 minutes. The ARCA was resolved during this exercise.

Based on the results of the July 27, 2011, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the Byron Station, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

After Action Report/lmprovemcnt Plan Byron Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On July 27, 2011 a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Byron Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the capabilities of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on July 29, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 15, 1983.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois the risk counties of Ogle and Winnebago participated along with State Government.

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 on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise..

This After Action (AAR)/Improvement Plan (IP) Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities: Illinois State Police (ISP) Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing, ISP Traffic and Access Control Point at the ISP District 16 Headquarters, Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2), Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers, Decontamination of Emergency Worker's Equipment, Public Registration and Congregate Care, Treatment and Transport of Contaminated Patients at Freeport Hospital and Byron Ambulance, Mt. Morris Dosimetry Control Officer Briefing, Mt. Morris Traffic and Access Control Points. Except where noted in this report, the State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of and adequately implemented their emergency response plans and procedures.

Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - Description The Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, is located on a 1,288-acre site in Rockville Township, approximately 3.7 miles south-southwest of the City of Byron and 2.2 miles east of the Rock River in Ogle County, Illinois. The site is situated approximately in the center of the county in a predominantly agricultural area, with cash grain crops of corn and soybeans.

The plume pathway EPZ consists of a circle with the Byron Station as the center point. The EPZ extends approximately 10 miles outward in all directions from the Byron Station. In the event of a serious accident at the Byron Station, the plume exposure EPZ will be the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. This EPZ includes Ogle County, a small portion of Winnebago County and the following municipalities: Byron, Oregon, Stillman Valley, Leaf River, Mount Morris, 3

and Davis Junction.

The population distribution in the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Byron Station is relatively low.

Based on the 2000 census, the City of Byron has a population of 2,917, Oregon has a population of 4,060, Stillman Valley has a population of 1,048, Leaf River has a population of 555, Mount Morris has a population of 3,013, and Davis Junction has a population of 491; for a total of 12,084 residents. The 10 Sub-Areas (Numbered: 10, 12, 14, 17, 23, 25, 27, 28, 39 and 40) 3 located in the Byron Station EPZ have a total population of 27,297 per the 2000 census.

Recreational facilities outside the municipalities include the 273-acre Lowden Memorial State i

b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 2.b.2.

ISSUE NO.: 09-1 1-2b2-A-01 CRITERION: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make PADs for the general public including KI if ORO policy.

CONDITION: Neither the SIRC Manager, REAC Manager nor any other IEMA staff addressed the decision to restrict or allow aircraft to fly through the plume after radiological conditions changed.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: After the change in radiological conditions by a, sudden spike of iodine being detected the REAC Manager and SIRC Manager considered the fact that they had overlooked the PAR to ingest KI but never considered that they had not restricted air traffic from flying through the plume.

24

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-I Planning Standard J.9, J. 10.m EFFECT: Leaving the air space open, potentially allows low flying aircraft such as helicopters, crop dusters and pleasure craft to fly through the plume. This lack of coordination and consideration after the change in radiological conditions adversely affects the health and safety of the public.

RECOMMENDATION: Conduct training sessions with'the SIRC and REAC manager regarding air, water and rail restrictions during PARs and PADs.

After Action ReportlImprovcment Plan Byron Station SECTION 4: CONCLUSION There were no Deficiencies identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois, Ogle nor Winnebago County. There were two Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCA) identified during this exercise; one for the State of Illinois and one for Ogle County. The State of Illinois received an ARCA finding under Evaluation Area 2, Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergengcy. Ogle County received an ARCA finding under Evaluation Area 3, Implementation of Protective Actions for Special Populations, School Evacuation. One Planning Issue carries over for the State of Illinois regarding KI information given to public in conflict to the. IPRA Plan and RTF Standard Operating Procedures.

During this exercise, ARCA 09-11-2b2-A-01 was identified for the State of Illinois under criterion 2.b.2 - OROs decision making process involving consideration of appropriate factors.

and necessary coordination used to make protectective action decisions.

During this exercise, ARCA 09-11-3c2-A-02 was identified for the Ogle County under criterion 3.c.2 - OROs implementation of protective actions for schools.

Prior ARCA 09-09-5a I-A-01, Activation of Prompt Alert and Notification, was resolved by Ogle County.

Prior Planning Issue 13-09-5b l-P-01, Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media, remains unresolved by the State of Illinois.

Based on the results of the July 27, 2011 exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Byron Station, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

Therefore, the Title 44 CFR 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois site-specific to the Quad Cities Station, granted on December 4, 1980, remain in effect.
