U.S. Department of Homeland Security Region V 536 South Clark Street, Floor 6 Chicago, IL 60605
~ FEMA NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed is one copy of the After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the October 4, 2011, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Exercise for the Kewaunee Power Station. Under separate cover, four copies of this report are being sent to the State of Wisconsin for distribution to Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties, along with an additional copy for the State. The State of Wisconsin, Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties, and the utility owner/operator, Dominion, Kewaunee Inc. participated in this exercise.
The Final Report was prepared by the staff of 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.
Two ARCAs from previous exercises were not successfully demonstrated during this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, ARCA #1 (49-10-lel-A-01) was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise. Acceptable ranges of operation were not posted on the calibration stickers on the Bicron Micro-Rem meters or the Ludlum Model 12 count rate meters used in the Mobile Radiological Laboratory or the Sample Receiving Area. Nor was the Field response manager contacted for assistance because there was no means to ensure the instrument was operating properly. This ARCA remains unresolved.
The following actions will be taken in response to ARCA #49-10-1el-A-01 issued against the State of Wisconsin, Mobile Radiological Laboratory. Acceptable ranges of operation, in the proper units, will be documented on each Ludlum Model 12 and Bicron pUL www.fema.gov
NRC Micro-Rem meter used by field teams or Forward Operations/Mobile Laboratory personnel (FOC/ML). In addition, the two Ludlum Model 375/2 area monitors and one Ludlum Model 177 count rate meter located in the FOC/ML will be in calibration. An acceptable range of operations, in the proper units, will also be documented on each of these instruments.
This ARCA (#49-10-1 el-A-01) will be re-demonstrated at the April 2012 Point Beach Nuclear Plant exercise.
The State of Wisconsin, ARCA #2 (49-10-5bl-A-02) was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise. Exercise Release #3 was marked "For Immediate Release," and was issued to the JIC and Counties at 1012 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.85066e-4 months <br />, but the Hotline staff was not operational until 1040 hours0.012 days <br />0.289 hours <br />0.00172 weeks <br />3.9572e-4 months <br />. The State EOC PIO anticipated that the JIC would announce the establishment of the Hotline but apparently did not anticipate the distribution of the release by the County PIOs. Until the JIC and Hotline become operational, the State and County EOC PIOs provide incident related public information to the media and respond to public inquiries directly. The State EOC PIO apparently anticipated that coordination with the JIC implied full coordination with Counties, but when combined with actual communications systems malfunctions during the transition of responsibilities, the coordination was incomplete.
This issue was given during Point Beach in 2010 and could not be re-demonstrated during the Kewaunee 2011 due to the hotlines being at different locations for Point Beach and Kewaunee. This will be re-demonstrated during Point Beach 2012.
The State of Wisconsin has added an item to the Public Information Officer Check List instructing them to contact the Public Information Hotline prior to distributing media releases stating or indicating that the hotline is operational. An additional checkpoint has also been added to the Operations Check List, which includes requesting the State Public Information Officer to contact the utility Public Information Hotline to ensure that they are operational prior to writing a media release stating they are operational.
This ARCA (#49-10-5b1-A-02) will be re-demonstrated at the April 2012 Point Beach Nuclear Plant exercise.
Two ARCAs from previous exercises were successfully re-demonstrated during this exercise:
Peterson FEB 2 8 2012 Page #3 Incident Response Plan Volume 2, FOC/MRL Operations Manual. Using a completed Field Team Dispatch Briefing Checklist; the Field Team Coordinator performed a pre-deployment brief to all Field Team and FOC/MRL support staff prior to Field Team deployment. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated during this exercise.
The State of Wisconsin ARCA #4, for the State of Wisconsin (33-09-5bl-A-05) identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 which was issued during 2009 Kewaunee REP exercise -
The Virginia Call Center did not receive JIC News Releases, EAS and Special News Broadcast messages regarding protective action decision for the public. After receiving and reviewing, documentation and by evaluator's observations, it has been determined that there was adequate support that communications between the Virginia Call Center and the JIC was much improved. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated during this exercise.
There were five Planning Issues associated with this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #1 (33-11-lel-P-01) identified under Criterion i.e. 1, the State of Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) and Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan and supporting SOPs, checklists and forms identify the Permanent Record Dosimeters (PRDs) issued to emergency workers as TLDs (Thermo-Luminescent Dosimeters). However, Landauer/Luxel + Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) were issued at the Manitowoc County Highway Department Reception Center. The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.1, of the State Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP), includes a Dosimeter Issuance Policy table that lists Minimum Recommended dosimeter types by Response Staff Type and includes a column that is titled TLD or OSL which indicates that either TLDs or OSLDs may be issued. The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.1, of the RIRP also indicates that the issuance of 0-20 R DRDs is NA (meaning Not Applicable) to all Response Staff Types.
However, 0-20 R DRDs were issued to the emergency workers who staffed the Personnel and Vehicle Monitoring/Decontamination Stations at the Reception Center (including the following Response Staff Types: Vehicle Monitoring, Vehicle Decontamination, Personnel Monitoring, Portal Monitoring, Resurvey Monitoring, Personnel Decontamination, Decontamination Exit Monitoring, and Monitoring Station Recording).
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #2 (33-11-6al-P-02) identified under Criterion 3.c.2, the facility has one shower stall that would be used for whole-body

- 4 Personnel Monitoring, Portal Monitoring, Resurvey Monitoring, Personnel Decontamination, Decontamination Exit Monitoring, and Monitoring Station Recording).
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #2 (33-11-6al-P-02) was identified under Criterion 3.c.2, the facility has one shower stall that would be used for whole-body Evacuee/Emergency Worker Decontamination. The stall is not large enough to provide privacy for staging a clean towel and body covering (Tyvek suit), disrobing and placing contaminated clothing in a receptacle, showering, drying with the clean towel, and donning the clean garment. These activities could be viewed by the Decontamination Team Recorder, who would hand a clean towel to the evacuee/emergency worker for drying and a Tyvek suit body covering for donning, as well as by the Entrance and Exit Monitors.
When queried by the Evaluator, the Appleton Hazmat Team personnel who operated the station stated that the Team has no female personnel Who are trained Monitors or Recorders.
The floor diagram on page ATT 1-21 of the Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 1, Manitowoc County Reception Center Personnel Decontamination) does not accurately reflect the actual configuration of the personnel decontamination facility. The diagram shows a Hand Washing Sink located outside the Decontamination Station Room (combination Locker Room/Shower in the diagram) past the Frisking Stations. During this exercise, the sink used for hand washing by Evacuees/Emergency Workers was located inside (rather than outside) the combination Locker Room/Shower in a separate toilet/wash room. The combination locker/shower room portion of the diagram does not accurately reflect that actual configuration of the room(s).
Manitowoc County, Planning Issue #3 (33-11-3c2-P-03) was identified under Criterion 3.c.2. The Manitowoc County Executive at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) directed the Mishicot Superintendent to evacuate schools in the School District of Mishicot at the Site Area Emergency, Emergency Classification Level (ECL). Staff at the Manitowoc EOC did not receive confirmation that the School District of Mishicot had successfully evacuated their schools.
Procedures for staff at the Manitowoc EOC (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex I, Part 2) do not match the specific procedures for school staff (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex I, Part 2, Attachment 7, Nuclear Emergency Evacuation Plan for the School District of Mishicot). The Mishicot Superintendent is
NRC FEB 28 012 Page #5 required to inform the Human Services representative at the EOC when evacuation is complete, but the EOC procedures do not require any staff, including the County Executive, Emergency Management Director, or Human Services representative to confirm when evacuation is complete.
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #4 (33-11-4al-P-04) was identified under Criterion 4.a. 1. The instructions in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan for response check of the Fluke Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter did not match the requirements posted on the calibration sticker for the instrument or the instructions posted with the check source jig in the mobile laboratory.
According to Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan, Volume 3, Page 21, the instructions to source check the Victoreen 451 B were Turn the meter over and slide back the plastic cover. This exposes the Beta window. With the assistance of FOC staff, obtain the check source jig. Ensure the check source is set snugly within the square insert, and place the meter into the jig such that the Beta window is flush with the check source.
The calibration sticker on the side of the Victoreen 451 B clearly indicated that the response check should be conducted with the cover on the instrument closed. The instructions posted with the check source jig in the mobile laboratory also indicated that the response check should be conducted with the cover on the beta window closed.
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #5 (33-11-4al-P-05) was identified under Criterion 4.a. 1. Restricted Area Field Team 2 did not record background measurements in a clean area for either the Fluke Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter or the Ludlum Model 12 Rate meter with Model 44-9 Probe. During interview, team members were unable to recall what the original or baseline background readings had been.
There are no instructions in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan to record baseline instrument readings.
According to the procedures for the Ludlum Geiger Counters and Pancake Detectors (Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan, Volume 3, Page 21) the operator should Step the meter down to the lowest scale and observe background reading with slowest response setting. Make sure the RESET button returns needle to zero and that the background readings are less than 500 cpm However, there are
NRC FEB 28 2012 Page #6 no instructions to record the background reading. The procedures for the Victoreen 451 B do not address background readings.
The five Planning Issues identified in the After Action Report/Improvement Plan will be addressed in this year's 'Plan Submittal.' ISSUE NOs 33-1 1-4al-P-04, 33-11-4al-P-05, and 33-1 1-lel-P-0l will be addressed in the State of Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP). ISSUE NOs 33-11-6a1-P-02 and 33-11-3c2-P-03 will be addressed in the Manitowoc County Emergency Response Plan. (Please see Attachment 1 for a description of these Planning Issues.) [Note: After discussions between FEMA and WEM, it was determined that FEMA will not have had sufficient time to review the Plan submittals prior to the Point Beach Nuclear Plant 2012 exercise. Consequently, the demonstration of the exercise criteria associated with these issues will differ from the plans the evaluators may be using.]
Based on the results of the October 4, 2011, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Wisconsin and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Kewaunee Power 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, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Wisconsin site-specific to the Kewaunee Power Station, granted on June 15, 1985, remains in effect.
NRC Page #7 Copies of this Report were transmitted to DHS/FEMA National Office, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III and the State of Wisconsin.

After Action Report/Inprovement Plan Kewaunee Power Station EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On October 4, 2011, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was scheduled for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V. The purpose of this exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency.
The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on June 23, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 21, 1981.
DHS/FEMA would like to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in the exercise. In particular,the State of Wisconsin and the risk counties of Kewaunee and Manitowoc.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and additional assigned responsibility of 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 participants was evident during the exercise.
This After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP)contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the following out-of-sequence activities:
State of Wisconsin:
Evacuee/Emergency Worker Monitoring/Decontamination Evacuee/Emergency Worker Equipment Monitoring/Decontamination including vehicles Medical Services (MS-i) - Hospital Facility Manitowoc County:

There were no out-of-sequence activities conducted in Kewaunee County.
There were no Deficiencies identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise. -
There:were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified and unresolved, during this exercise.
There were no Planning Issues from a previous exercise identified.
Two ARCAs from previous exercises were not successfully demonstrated during this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, ARCA #3 (49-10-lel-A-01).identified under Criterion !.e. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise - Acceptable ranges of operation. were not posted on the calibration stickers on the Bicron Micro-Rem meters or. the LudlumModel 12 count rate meters used in the Mobile Radiological Laboratory or the Sample Receiving Area nor was the Field response manager contacted for assistance because there wasno means to ensure the instrument was operating properly. This ARCA remains unresolved.
The State of Wisconsin, ARCA #4.(49-10-5b l-A-02) identified under Criterion 5.b.1 which was issued in..2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise- Exercise Release #3 was marked "For Immediate Release," and was issued to the JIC and Counties at 1012 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.85066e-4 months <br />, but the Hotline staff was not operational until 1040 hours0.012 days <br />0.289 hours <br />0.00172 weeks <br />3.9572e-4 months <br />. The State EOC PIO anticipated that the JIC would announce the establishment of the Hotline but apparently. did not anticipate the distribution of the release by the County PIOs. Until the JIC and Hotline become operational, the State and County EOC PIOs provide incident related public information to the media and respond to public inquiries directly. The State EOC PIO apparently anticipated that coordination with the JIC implied full coordination with Counties, but when combined with actual communications systems malfunctions during the transition of responsibilities, the coordination was incomplete.
This issue was given during Point Beach in 2010 and could not be re-demonstrated during the Kewaunee 2011 due to the hotlines being at different locations for Point Beach and Kewaunee.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station This will be re-demonstrated during Point Beach 2012.
Two ARCAs from a previous exercise were successfully re-demonstrated during this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin ARCA # 1, for the State of Wisconsin (49-10-1 c l-A-04) identified under Criterion 1.c. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP exercise - Field Operation Center briefings were not performed by the Field Response Manager as defined in Section 4.1 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Radiological Incident Response Plan Volume 2, FOC/MRL Operations Manual. Using a completed Field Team Dispatch Briefing Checklist; the Field Team Coordinator performed a pre-deployment brief to all Field Team and FOC/MRL support staff prior to Field Team deployment. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated, during this exercise.
The State of Wisconsin ARCA #2, for the State of Wisconsin (33-09-5b l-A-05) identified under Criterion 5'b.1 which was issued during 2009 Kewaunee REP exercise - The Virginia Call Center did not receive JIC News Releases, EAS and Special News Broadcast messages regarding protective action decision for the public. After receiving and reviewing documentation and by evaluat6r's :observations, it'has 'been determined that there was adequate support that communications between the Virginia Call Center and the JIC was much improved. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated during this exercise.
There were five Planning Issues associated with this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #1 (33-11-lel-P-01) identified under Criterion 1.e.1, the State of Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan-(RIRP) and ManitowocCdunty Emergency Operations Plan and supporting SOPs, checklists and forms identify the'Permanent Record Dosimeters (PRDs)issued to emergency workers as TLDs (Thermo'-Luminescent Dosimeters). However, Landauer/Luxel + Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) were issued at the Manitowoc County. Highway Department Reception Center.

Based on the results of the October 4, 2011 exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Wisconsin and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Kewaunee Power 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, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Wisconsin site-specific to Kewaunee Power Station, granted on June 15, 1985, remains in effect.
INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. DHS/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 I Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
I 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 governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees.
DHS/FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixednuclear facilities include the following:
- Taking the lead in off-site emergency planning; and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;
- 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 I State and local governments; 10

REASON UNRESOLVED: As occurred in the previous exercise, accurate ranges of operation were not posted on the calibration stickers on the BicronMicro-Rem meter.
Also, the Ludlum Model 12 count rate meter had an operational source check range on the calibration sticker but the value was 4 mR/hr; instead of a value with units of counts per minute that would be expected for a count rate meter.
Additionally, three permanently mounted instruments in FOC/MRL vehicle were past their calibration due date. Two Model 375/2 area monitors and one model 177 count rate meter showed a calibration date of September 10, 2010; exceeding the instrument calibration limit by almost one month. Calibration stickers were not posted on the perrmanently mounted instruments but calibration logs were available in the MRL that provided check source ranges.

Ensure the check source is set snugly within the square insert, and place the meter into the jig such that the Beta window is flush with the check source." The I calibration sticker on the side of the Victoreen 451B clearly indicated that the response check should be conducted with the cover on the instrument closed. The instructions posted with the check source jig in the mobile laboratory also indicated that the response check should be conducted with the cover on the beta window I closed.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station EFFECT: Both Restricted Area Field Teams conducted the instrument response check on their respective Victoreen 451B with the beta window closed, obtaining the desired reading on the instrument and verifying the instrument response against the check source.
Had either team attempted to conduct the response check with the beta window cover in the open position, an inappropriate reading would have been obtained. The team would then have incorrectly determined that their instrument was out of calibration and declared it unserviceable.
RECOMMENDATION: Edit Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan, Volume 3, Page 21, and Volume 2, Page 32.
From: Turn the meter over and slide back the plastic cover. This exposes the Beta window.
To" Turn thermeter over and assure that the plastic cover is slid forward. The source check must be conducted with the Beta window closed.
ISSUE NO.: 33-11-4al-P-05 CRITERION: Field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud. & ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates (NUREG-0654, H. 10. 1.8., 9., 11.).
CONDITION: Restricted Area Field Team 2 did not record background measurements in a clean area for either the Fluke Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter or the Ludlum Model 12 Ratemeter with Model 44-9 Probe. During interview, team members were unable to recall what the original or'baseline background readings had been.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: There are no instructions in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan to record baseline instrument 33
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station readings.
According to-the procedures for the Ludlum Geiger Counters and Pancake Detectors (Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan, Volume 3, Page 21) the operator should "Step the meter down to the lowest scale and observe background reading with slowest response setting. Make sure the RESET button returns needle to zero ,and that the background readings are less than 500 cpm." However, .there are no instructions to record the background reading. The procedures for the Victoreen 451 B do not address background readings.
REFERENCE:
Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan I Pre-Dispatch Field Team/Kit Evaluation Checklist, Revised 7/28/11.
EFFECT: Restricted Area Field Teams could find themselves in a contaminated environment with. no initial instrument' readings to reference.
The Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) defines contamination as levels of radioactive material that result in a reading of 100 counts per minute (cpm) above background when taken at the -appropriate frisking distance with a GM counter equipped with a "pancake" detector. Without an initial background reading, Restricted Area Field Teams may be unable to determineif they' or their equipment were contaminated.
RECOMMENDATION: Add a location on the Pre-Dispatch Field Team/Kit Evaluation Checklist to record background readings. This may prove helpful to the Field Teams and to persons performing assessment to calculate dose conversion factors.

REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654 -,FEMA-REP 1-REV 1.-K23.b EFFECT: The confusion of dosimeter type can mislead emergency worker on
. improper use of dosimeter.
RECOMMENDATION: Revise plans, procedures, checklists and forms to reflect the type or types of permanent record dosimetry that is currently used. For example, the
.; generic, term' "Permanent Record Dosimeter" and associated acronym "PRD" could replace references to "ThermoLumiriescent Dosimeter" and "TLD."

REFERENCE:
Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan (5/2010), Floor Diagram, page ATT 1-21.
EFFECT: Memebers of the opposite sex having to share the same facility to shower and change could result in a person being over exposed or their right to privacy be violated.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to avoid delays and other issues when processing female contaminated individuals, the Decontamination Station should be staffed by fully trained female workers to advise, assist and monitor female evacuees and emergency workers during processing. If feasible, a separate (temporaiy or permanent) shower fficilityý for and staffed by females should be made available. If space is sufficient, a removable, free-standing partition or drape' might be used to provide privacy by screening both the shower stall and niche beside the stall where a small table and waste receptacle could be positioned to stage clean items (towel/Tyvec suit') and dispose of dirty items (contaminated clothing).

ISSUE'NO.: 33-1 1:-3c2-P-03 CRITERION: OlOs/school officials decide upon and implement protective actions for'schools (NUREG-0654, J.101c.d.g.) ..
CONDITION: The Manitowoc County Executive at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) directed the Mishicot Superintendent to evacuate schools in the School District of Mishicot at the Site Area Emergency Emergency Classification Level (ECL). Staff at the Manitowoc EOC did not receive confirmation that the School District of Mishicot had successfully evacuated their schools.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Procedures for staff at the Manitowoc EOC (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex I, Part 2) do not match the specific procedures for school staff (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex I, Part 2, Attachment 7, Nuclear Emergency Evacuation Plan for the School District 49
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station of Mishicot). The Mishicot Superintendent is required to inform the Human Services representative at the EOC when evacuation is complete, but the EOC procedures do not require any staff, including the County Executive, Emergency Management Director, or Human Services representative to confirm when evacuation is complete.
REFERENCE:
Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), Annex I, Part 2, Attachment 7, Nuclear Emergency Evacuation Plan for the School District of Mishicot, Part B, Evacuation Procedures; Manitowoc County EOP, Annex I, Part 2, Human Services Nuclear Power Plant Incident Checklist, County Executive Nuclear Power Plant Incident Checklist, and Emergency Management Director Nuclear Power Plant Checklist; NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-1, J.l0.c, d, g. Criterion 3c.2' EFFECT: Lack of confirmation of evacuation status of schools could lead to confusion and delays in family reunification during a real event. Without confirmed
.informationregarding the location of students, misinformation regarding students' locations could accidentally be given to the public.
RECOMMENDATION: Include a task in the Manitowoc EOP for the appropriate representative at the Manitowoc EOC to confirm that school evacuation has been completed'and incorporate into the Manitowoc County Plan.

I After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station SECTION 4: CONCLUSION There were no Deficiencies identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise.
I There were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA)/Planning. Issues identified and unresolved during this exercise.
Twvo ARCAs from previous exercises were not successfully demonstrated during this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, ARCA # 1 (49-10-1 e l-A-01) identified under Criterion 1.e. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise - Acceptable ranges of operation were not posted on the calibration stickers on the Bicron Micro-Rem meters or the Ludlum Model 12 count rate meters used in the Mobile Radiological Laboratory or the Sample Receiving Area nor n was the Field response manager contacted for assistance because there was no means to ensure the instrument was operating properly. This ARCA remains unresolved. n The State of Wisconsin, ARCA #2 (49-10-5b 1-A-02) identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP Exercise - Exercise Release #3 was marked "For Immediate Release," and was issued to the JIC and Counties at 1012 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.85066e-4 months <br />, but the Hotline staff was not operational until 1040 hours0.012 days <br />0.289 hours <br />0.00172 weeks <br />3.9572e-4 months <br />.. The State EOC PIO anticipated that the JIC would. n announce the establishment of the Hotline but apparently did not anticipate the distributionof the release by the County PIOs. Unftil the JIC and Hotline become operational, the State and County EOC PIs provide incident related public information to the media and respond to public inquiries directly. The, State EOC PIO apparently anticipated that coordination with the JIC implied full coordination with Counties, but when combined with actual cOmmunications systems malfunctions during the transition of responsibilities, the coordination was incomplete.
This issue was given during Point Beach in 2010 and could not be re-demonstrated during the Kewaunee 2011 due to the hotlines being at different locations for Point Beach and Kewaunee.
This will be re-demonstrated during Point Beach 2012.
Two ARCAs from previous exercsises were successfully re-demonstrated during this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin ARCA #3, for the State of Wisconsin (49-10-1 c 1-A-04) identified under Criterion 1.c. 1 which was issued in 2010 during the Point Beach REP exercise - Field Operation n Center briefings were not performed by the Field Response Manager as defined in Section 4.1 of 56

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Kewaunee Power Station the Wisconsin Department of Health Radiological Incident Response Plan Volume 2, FOC/MRL Operations Manual. Using a completed Field Team Dispatch Briefing Checklist; the Field Team Coordinator performed a pre-deployment brief to all Field Team and FOC/MRL support staff prior to Field Team deployment. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated during this exercise.
The State of Wisconsin ARCA #4, for the State of Wisconsin (33-09-5b 1-A-05) identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 which was issued during 2009 Kewaunee REP exercise - The Virginia Call Center did not receive JIC News Releases, EAS and Special News Broadcast messages regarding protective action decision for the public. After receiving and reviewing documentation and by evaluator's observations, it has been determined that there was adequate support that communications between the Virginia Call Center and the JIC was much improved. This ARCA was successfully demonstrated during this exercise.
There were five Planning Issues associated with this exercise:
The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue #1 (33-11-1 el-P-0l) identified under Criterion L.e. 1, the State of Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) and Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan and supporting SOPs, checklists and forms identify the Permanent Record Dosimeters (PRDs) issued to emergency workers as TLDs (Thermo-Luminescent Dosimeters). However, Landauer/Luxel + Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) were issued at the Manitowoc County Highway Department Reception Center. The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.J, of the State Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP),
includes a Dosimeter Issuance Policy table that lists Minimum Recommended dosimeter types by Response Staff Type and includes a column that is titled TLD or OSL which indicates that either TLDs orOSLIs may be issued. The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.1, of the RIRP also indicates that the issuance of 0-20 R DRDs is NA (meaning Not Applicable) to all Response Staff Types.
However, 0-20 R DRDs were issued to the emergency workers who staffed the Personnel and Vehicle Monitoring/Decontamination Stations at the Reception Center (including the following Response Staff Types: Vehicle Monitoring, Vehicle Decontamination, Personnel Monitoring, Portal Monitoring, Resurvey Monitoring, Personnel Decontamination, Decontamination Exit Monitoring, and Monitoring Station Recording).

Manitowoc County., Planning Issue #3 (33-11-3c2-P-03) identified under Criterion 3.c.2, the Manitowoc County Executive at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) directed the.Mishicot Superintendent to evacuate schools in the School District of Mishicot at the Site Area Emergency, Emergency'Classification Level (ECL). Staff at the Manitowoc EOC did not receive confirmation that the School District of Mishicot had successfully evacuated their schools.
Procedures for staff at the Manitowoc EOC (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex I, Part 2) do not match the specific procedures for school staff (Manitowoc County Emergency Operations. Plan, Annex I, Part 2, Attachment 7, Nuclear Emergency Evacuation Plan for the School District of Mishicot). The Mishicot Superintendent is required to inform the Human Services representative at the EOC when evacuation is complete, but the EOC procedures do not require any staff, including the County Executive, Emergency Management l Director, or Human Services representative to confirm when evacuation is complete.

The State of Wisconsin, Planning Issue.#5 (33-1 i-4a1-P-05) identified under Criterion 4.a.1, Restricted Area,Field Team 2 did not record background measurements in a clean area for either the Fluke. Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter or the Ludlum Model 12 Rate meter with' Model 44-9 Probe. During interview, team members were unable to recall what the original or baseline background readings had been.
There are no instructions in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan to record baseline instrument readings.
According to the procedures for the Ludlum Geiger Counters' and Pancake Detectors (Wisconsin Department of Health Services Radiological Incident Response Plan, Volume 3, Page 21) the operator should Step the meter down to the lowest scale and observe background reading with slowest response setting. Make sure the RESET button returns needle to zero and that the background readings are less than 500 cpm However, there are no instructions to'record the background reading. The procedures for the Victoreen 451B do not address background '
readings.

IsuNubr 3311I~e.P0 Crtrong ISSUE: The State of Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) and Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan and supporting SOP's, checklists and forms identify the Permanent Record Dosimeters (PRD's) issued to emergency workers as TLDs (ThermoLuminescent Dosimeters). However, Landauer Luxel+ Optically I
Stimu!ated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLD's) were issued at the Manitowoc County Highway Department Reception Center. The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.1, of the State Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP),
includes a Dosimeter Issuance Policy table that lists "Minimum Recommended" dosimeter types by Response Staff Type and includes a column that is titled "TLD or OSL" - which indicates that either TLD's or OSLD's may be
,I issued.
The table in Volume IV, Section 2.3.1, of the RIRP also indicates that the issuance of 0-20 R DRD's is "NA" (meaning."Not Applicable") to all Response Staff Types. However, 0-20 R DRD's were issued to the emergency I
workers who staffed the Personnel and Vehicle Monitoring/Decontamination Stations at the Reception Center (including the following Response Staff.Types: ,Vehicle Monitoring, Vehicle Decontamination, Personnel.
Monitoring, Portal Monitoring, Resurvey Monitoring, Personnel Decontamination, Decontamination Exit, Monitoring, and Monitoring Station Recording).
I RECOMMENDATION: Revise plans, procedures, checklists and forms to reflect the type or types of' permanent record dosimetry that is currently used. For example, the generic term "Pennanent Record Dosimeter.'
and associated acronym "PRD" could replace references to "ThermoLuminescent Dosimeter" and "TLD." Wlhere appropriate, identify the specific make and model, such as Landauer ThermoLuminescent Dosimeter (TLD) or I
Landauer.Luxel+ Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeter (OSLD). The TLD's and OSLD's may also be referred to generically as "Luminescent Dosimeters" and by the acronym "LD."
The RIRP tableý (Volume IV, Section 2.3.1) should be revised to replace the ".NA" designations in the 0-20 R I
column by a more appropriate designation (e.g., "Yes" - which reflects what was actually issued; or "Optional" -
which would allow, but not require, the issuance of the 0-20 R DRD's to the designated Response Staff Types).

The stall is not large enough to provide privacy for staging a clean towel and body covering (Tyvek suit), disrobing and placing contaminated clothing in a receptacle, showering, drying with the clean towel, and donning the clean garment. These activities could be viewed by the Decontamination Team Recorder, who would hand a clean towel to the evacuee/emergency worker for drying and a Tyvek suit body covering for donning, as wellas by the Entrance and Exit Monitors.
When queried by the Evaluator, the Appleton Hazmat Team personnel who operated the station stated that the, Team has no female personnel who are trained Monitors or Recorders.
The floor diagram on page ATT 1-21 of the Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Plan (Attachment 1 -
Manitowoc County Reception Center Personnel Decontamination) does not accurately reflect the actual configuration of the personnel decontamination facility. The diagram shows a Hand Washing Sink located outside the Decontamination Station Room (combination Locker Room/Shower in the diagram) past the "Frisking Stations." During this exercise, the sink.used for hand washing by Evacuees/Emergency 'Workers was located-.._
inside (rather than outside) the combination Locker Room/Shower in a separate toilet/wash room. The combination locker/shower room portion of the diagram does not accurately reflect that actual configuration of the room(s)..
RECOMMENDATION: In order to avoid delays and other issues when processing female contaminated individuals, the Decontamination Station should be staffed by fully trained female workers to advise, assist and monitor female evacuees and emergency workers during processing. If feasible, a separate (temporary or permanent) shower facility for and staffed by females should be made available. If space is sufficient, a removable, free-standing partition or drape might be used to provide privacy by screening both the shower stall and niche beside the stall where a small table andwaste receptacle could be positioned to stage clean items (towel/Tyvec suit) and dispose of dirty items (contaminated clothing).
The diagram on page ATT 1-21 of the County Plan should be revised to show the actual configuration of functional elements. Providing an enlarged insert or separate diagram for the Decontamination Station would aid in depicting the actual location and configuration of such functional elements as the toilet/wash room, shower, benches, equipment staging, (clean and dirty) waste receptacles, tables, chairs, and demarcation lines/step-off pads.
