After Action Report/Improvement Plan Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On December 7, 2011, a biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station (W 3) located near Taft, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. The U.S.

Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA)

Region VI Office, evaluated the exercise. The purpose was to assess the level of preparedness of state and local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at Waterford 3. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the implementation of state and local radiological emergency preparedness plans and procedures.

The previous exercise at this site was a Plume Exercise conducted on June 24, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on February 8, 1984. There have been eighteen evaluated exercises, including the exercise on December 7, 2011, plus several drills conducted since 1984.

DHS/FEMA Region VI Office, wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Louisiana, St. Charles Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, and surrounding jurisdictions 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 written evaluation of the biennial exercise. The state and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies, no Plan Issues and one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during this exercise.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station At 09:51 Containment Spray pump A CCW flow alarm is received. Control Room Annunciator Panel M, CP-8, Engineered Safeguard Window C04 Cntmt Spray Pump A Brng Water Flow Lo. This is the result of a failed flow transmitter. A repair team should be assembled to investigate the failure and initiate repair.

At 10:16, the A charging pump trips due to an ECS/SST internal failure. The Control Room enters OP-901-112, Charging and Letdown Malfunction, and requests a repair team to investigate the failure. The Control Room evaluates Technical Specification 3.1.2.4 and TRM 3.1.2.4. The ECS/SST must be replaced to restore the charging pump to service.

At 10:21, the plant experiences a 2B RCP shaft seizure. The automatic Reactor Trip fails and a manual trip is unsuccessful. The Control Room de-energizes the 3A31 and 3B31 feeder breakers to shutdown the reactor. The Control Room implements OP-902-000, Standard Post Trip Actions. The loss of flow caused by the RCP shaft seizure combined with the failure of the reactor automatic trip function results in damage to the fuel cladding and an increase in Reactor Coolant System (RCS) activity as indicated by radiation monitor alarms.

The Control Room should request Chemistry to draw a RCS sample.

When Chemistry places the primary sample panel on recirculation, radiation levels will indicate that fuel cladding damage has occurred. The Emergency Director declares a Site Area Emergency based on Emergency Plan Implementing Instruction EP-001-001, Recognition and Classification of Emergency Conditions, Initiating Condition SS3, Automatic trip fails to shutdown the reactor and manual actions taken from the reactor control console are not successful in shutting down the reactor, EAL #1, or FS1, Loss or Potential Loss of ANY two Barriers, EALs FCB1 or FCB3 or FBC4 and RCB1 or RCB3. There are no Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) required at this time.

The Emergency Director selects an offsite assembly area and announces a site evacuation. The Assembly Area Supervisor is dispatched and Security performs accountability in accordance with EP-002-190, Personnel Accountability. For the purposes of this exercise, the non-essential personnel in the Protected Area evacuate to station parking lots and a small number of pre-designated personnel evacuate to the selected offsite assembly area.

At 11:03, an instrument air leak occurs on the header downstream of IA-113B.

Instrument air pressure drops to approximately 80 psi. The Instrument Air leak will be discovered in the Reactor Auxiliary Building. The instrument air to station air cross connect should open, but does not due to a failed pneumatic relay in the 33

Operations may secure the B instrument air compressor and close IA-114B to restore header pressure. Mechanical maintenance should be dispatched to repair the header leakage and I&C maintenance should be dispatched to repair the cross connect valve. Both failures must be fixed to restore instrument air to normal operation. Operations may elect to open the bypass (SA127) to supply instrument air.

At 11:26, EFW Pump A/B trips on overspeed. Annunciator A-10 on CP-8 indicating EFW Flow Hi-Hi. A NAO should be dispatched to investigate the problem with the EFW Pump. The mechanical overspeed trip device on the Emergency Feedwater Terry Turbine trips, closing the turbine stop valve.

Mechanical maintenance investigates the problem and finds a sheared poppet stem. The poppet stem must be replaced to restore the turbine to operation.

At 11:40, annunciators H-6 and K-7 are received on CP-35 indicating a ground on the 3A21 electrical bus. The TSC will dispatch a repair team to investigate the problem. The ground is traced to a Start-Up Transformer A fan transformer.

At 12:12 Atmosphere Dump Valve A receives an open signal, opens and then will not close. The PAC system gives the valve a straight demand signal causing the valve to go fully open. The Emergency Director declares a General Emergency based on Emergency Plan Implementing Instruction EP-001-001, Recognition and Classification of Emergency Conditions, Initiating Condition FG1 (EALs FCB2 or FCB6, and RCB2 or RCB6, and CNB4 or CNB7), Loss of ANY two Barriers AND Loss or Potential Loss of Third Barrier or AG1 (EAL#1 or EAL#2), Offsite dose resulting from an actual or imminent release of gaseous radioactivity exceeds 1000mR TEDE or 5000mR CDE Thyroid for the actual or projected duration of the release using actual meteorology. Initial Protective Action Recommendations of evacuation of Protective Response Areas A1, B1, C1, D1 (2-mile radius), A2 and C2 (5 miles downwind) and sheltering for the remainder of the Protective Response Areas in the 10-mile EPZ are made.

There is an offsite radiological release at this time above Federal limits.

When notification for the change in PARs is completed, in the opinion of the Lead Controller, the drill objectives have been sufficiently demonstrated and continuing the drill will provide no additional benefit, the drill will be terminated.

This decision will be coordinated with LDEQ. When the exercise is terminated, area critiques will be conducted.
