After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Executive Summary 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 5
Executive Summary On December 7 and 8, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV, REP Program staff evaluated a plume and ingestion exposure pathway exercise in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) and the 50-mile ingestion exposure pathway EPZ for the BFNPP. BFNPP is located in Limestone County, approximately 10 miles northwest of Decatur, Alabama and is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The BFNPP 10-mile EPZ is divided into 19 emergency response sectors and encompasses parts of Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone and Morgan Counties; with a 10-mile EPZ population of approximately 46,623.
FEMAs overall objective of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency at BFNPP. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on November 4, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercises were conducted on September 10, 1981 and November 4, 1987.
On April 27, 2011, storms producing catastrophic tornadoes passed through the State of Alabama. The tornadoes resulted in extensive damage in several areas of the State, including the area around BFNPP. The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) and all of the BFNPP risk and host counties were affected by the tornadoes and activated their emergency operations centers and emergency response organizations. As part of the evaluation of capabilities during this exercise, FEMA considered the State and local response to the storms.
The purpose of this report is to analyze exercise results, identify strengths to be maintained and built upon, identify potential areas for further improvement and support development of corrective actions.
The objectives for the 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise were as follows:
Objective 1: Demonstrate the ability to provide Emergency Operations Center (EOC) management including Direction and Control through the Counties and State Emergency Operations Centers (SEOC) Multi-agency Coordination Center System (MACCS).
Objective 2: Demonstrate the ability to provide protective action decision-making for State and County emergency workers and public through exercise play and discussions of plans and procedures.
Objective 3: Demonstrate the ability to implement protective actions for State and Counties emergency workers and public through exercise play and discussion of plans and procedures.
Objective 4: Demonstrate the ability to perform Plume Phase field measurements and analysis utilizing State field teams through exercise play and discussion of plans and procedures.

After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 11 Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design DHS/FEMA administers the REP Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) parts 350, 351 and 352. 44 CFR 350 codifies sixteen planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for the licensee, and State, tribal, and local governments impacted by the EPZs established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States. 44 CFR 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of State, tribal, and local government RERPs and procedures by DHS/FEMA. One of the REP program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities.
During these exercises, affected State, tribal, and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.
The results of this exercise together with review of the RERPs and procedures and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 through the Annual Letter of Certification and staff assistance visits enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the affected State, tribal, and local plans and preparedness are (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.
Formal submission of the RERP for BFNPP to FEMA by the State of Alabama occurred on August 30, 1982. A revised plan was submitted to FEMA on February 10, 1989.
Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on July 6, 1990, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP exercise was evaluated on December 7 and 8, 2011, and included evaluations of the out-of-sequence (OOS) activities held September 15 and 16; November 30; and December 2, 5, 6, and 10; 2011.
On April 27, 2011, storms producing catastrophic tornadoes passed through the State of Alabama. The tornadoes resulted in extensive damage in several areas of the State, including the area around BFNPP. The AEMA and all of the BFNPP risk and host counties were affected by the tornadoes and activated their EOCs and emergency response organizations. As part of the evaluation of capabilities during this exercise, FEMA considered the State and local response to the storms.

Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all FEMA Region IV REP Program objectives and observations in this exercise.
- Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. EOC management includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, state, and federal EOCs; coordination public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.
- Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.
- Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place: Is the capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals), and/or the organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population (and companion animals) to areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.
- Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire and emergency medical services (EMS).
- Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials (HazMat) release,
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 14 either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources or contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of HazMats, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and LE agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.
- Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the American Red Cross (ARC), or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special-needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs addressed by the medical community and/or its alternate care facilities. State and Federal entities also play a role in public and environmental health by ensuring safe conditions, safe food, potable water, sanitation, clean air, etc.
- Public Health Laboratory Testing: Is the capability to provide ongoing surveillance, rapid detection, confirmatory testing, data reporting, investigative support, and laboratory networking to address potential exposure, or known exposure, to all-hazards which include chemical, radiochemical, and biological agents in all matrices including clinical specimens, food and environmental samples, (e.g., water, air, soil). All-hazard threats include those deliberately released with criminal intent, as well as those that may be present as a result of unintentional or natural occurrences.

Exercise criteria are listed by number and the demonstration status of those criteria are indicated by the use of the following terms:
- Met (No Deficiency or ARCA(s) assessed and no unresolved ARCA(s) from prior exercise)
- ARCA(s) assessed or unresolved ARCA(s) from previous exercises
- Deficiency assessed
- Plan Issues
- Not Demonstrated 3.2 Evaluation Capability Summaries 3.2.1 State of Alabama Emergency Operations Center Management:
The AEMA successfully demonstrated EOC management capabilities at the SEOC. The SEOC staff was not prepositioned as allowed in the extent-of-play agreement (EOPA).
The State Warning Point (SWP) demonstrated exceptional ability in handling their responsibilities. The SWP efficiently notified SEOC staff and the SEOC was fully activated in a timely manner and in accordance with plans and procedures. The SWP then continued to monitor communications and keep the SEOC staff updated. The Chief of Operations (CO) and staff under his guidance exercised efficient direction and control.
Participation in protective action decisions (PAD) was performed as a coordinating participant, as PADs are the responsibility of the State Health Officers representative in the State Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (SRMAC). Use of the State and TVA Hazard Analysts was especially effective in providing situational awareness for the staff, complimented by routine updates from the Public Information Officer (PIO).
The State conducted a concurrent all-hazards exercise that addressed additional staff objectives designed to enhance staff abilities during periods of low activity in the REP exercise. This was strategically effective and beneficial in reinforcing their ability to conduct multiple operations simultaneously; a consequence and benefit of a recent response to disastrous tornadoes that affected the area earlier in the year. The CO was very effective and capitalized on every opportunity, as conditions evolved, to explain procedures and actions taken. These teaching moments kept all staff members abreast of changing conditions and ensured they understood the scope of events, activities, and their roles in the response. Staff actions were defined and deliberate, which aided coordination with internal and external agencies.
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 16 The SEOC is technologically current, updated, and has sufficient space and equipment to support emergency response efforts. Communications were redundant and functioned throughout the exercise. Each state agency had a work area which was easily identifiable and functional for conducting its duties. Maps and status boards were visible and made vital information readily available to the staff for reference and aided in situational awareness. The SEOC staff demonstrated high competence in performing their duties and in the ability to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of an incident at BFNPP. All actions were performed in accordance with established plans and procedures.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1 and 2.b.2.
Emergency Public Information and Warning:
State personnel successfully demonstrated the capability to promptly alert, notify and warn the public of an emergency at BFNPP through coordination between AEMA, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), and affected jurisdictions around BFNPP. Two Coordinated Press Releases were generated using pre-scripted messages, properly approved and disseminated in advance of the activation of the JIC. Prompt Notification System (PNS) and EAS coordination was monitored by the SEOC and SRMAC following the issuance of State Health Orders. Following activation of the JIC, the State coordinated the release of information through its representatives at that facility.
Public inquiry was not observed.
For this capability, the following REP criteria were MET: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1.
Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:
This capability at the State level was demonstrated at the SRMAC and by two field monitoring teams (FMT).
In accordance with established procedures, following the declaration of Alert, the SRMAC, located in Morgan County, Alabama was fully activated. Adequate supplies and equipment necessary to support all response operations were readily available.
Direction and Control of emergency management operations were the responsibility of ADPH, Office of Radiation Control (ORC), and were fulfilled in a professional, outstanding fashion.
All PADs with respect to both the 10-mile EPZ and the 50-mile EPZ were based on sound technical analyses, which included environmental field measurements, computerized dose assessment models, a thorough understanding of the simulated emergency at hand, and interactions with the utility operators senior staff, as well as with Federal assisting organizations (U.S. Department of Energy, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and TVA).
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 17 Emergency information with respect to the implementation of the PADs was accomplished through the promulgation of appropriate State Health Orders, addressing public notifications, access restrictions, evacuations and concerns for food, water and milk in the affected areas.
During this exercise, the plume phase activities of two FMTs were conducted by interview while the post plume phase activities were demonstrated. ADPH/ORC has the primary responsibility for this capability. FMTs during the plume phase are composed of only ORC personnel. For the post-plume phase, an individual from the Milk Branch of ADPH and an individual from the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries (ADAI) were added to each team.
In accordance with the EOPA, FMT personal were prepositioned. In an actual event, the teams would be mobilized by a call down tree from the ADPH duty officer. Each team had two independent communication systems; however, due to the limited scope of this demonstration, no communications with response organizations were demonstrated. The teams had appropriate equipment and supplies which had been brought from the ORC headquarters in Montgomery. The equipment and supplies were adequate for a plume phase response and for a post plume response. The ORC team members had both self-reading (SRD) and permanent-record dosimetry (PRD). Each team also had supplies of potassium iodide (KI). Team members checked the radiation detectors in accordance with their procedures and the vehicles were prepared so that potential contamination could be minimized. The team would be directed by SRMAC staff and would report plume phase results to the SRMAC staff. Team members provided detailed descriptions of the monitoring and sampling activities that they would perform to locate and then obtain particulate and iodine samples at the plume centerline. In a post plume phase response, SRMAC would again assign the teams where to sample. In this exercise, the sampling locations were determined by where local dairy operators allowed the sampling activities. Each team obtained four samples at each selected dairy. The samples consisted of a milk sample, a soils sample, an open water sample, and a vegetation sample. The Milk Branch team member actually took the milk sample and the ORC members prepared the samples for transfer to a courier for transport to a laboratory for analysis. The ADAI team member was available to issue a Stop Sale Order, if needed.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.1, 2.b.2, 2.d.1, 2.e.1, 3.a.1, 3.b.1, 4.a.1, 4.a.2, 4.a.3, 4.b.1 and 5.b.1.
Public Health Laboratory Testing:
Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) personnel at the ADEM Laboratory in Montgomery, Alabama successfully demonstrated the ability to perform radiological analyses of milk, water, soil and vegetation samples in support of the response to an incident at BFNPP. There were sufficient qualified personnel on staff to allow 24-hour operations of the laboratory, if necessary. All personnel donned appropriate protective clothing and dosimetry and were knowledgeable of their administrative dose limits. The laboratory was equipped with two high-purity

After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 18 germanium detectors capable of processing a total of between 12 and 48 samples per day.
Analysis results underwent a peer review and a review by quality assurance staff before being released to ADPH for use in formulating PADs.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1 and 4.c.1.
3.2.2 Joint Operations 3.2.2.1 Joint Information Center Emergency Public Information and Warning:
The ability to provide emergency information and instructions to the media was successfully demonstrated at the JIC. The JIC was activated in accordance with published plans and procedures in support of BFNPP. Activation of the JIC is a joint decision between the AEMA, ADPH and TVA. The JIC is located within the Fine Arts Building on the campus of Calhoun Community College, Tanner Alabama. The JIC serves as the central coordinating location for the distribution and release of information to the media and public during an emergency at BFNPP. This facility offers ample space for the PIOs and supplemental technical staff from TVA; the State; Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan Counties; and Federal agencies to perform required duties.
Press briefings would normally be conducted in the Colleges auditorium. For this exercise, TVA used their mobile command trailer. This expandable semi-trailer offered suitable space to conduct the media briefings and was fully equipped with state of the art communication systems. A pooled video camera was used to provide a direct video feed back to the work rooms in the JIC. Television media could also link into this feed to telecast the media briefings back to their respective studios for broadcast to the public.
The role of the mock media was played and supported by both TVA employees and a local college public relations class. The questions were well formulated and challenged the Information Manager as well as the spokespersons. Although the persistent and sometimes interrupting questioning was not expected, it was handled well by the spokespersons and added to overall success of the exercise.
There were a total of four briefings during the exercise: two formal press briefings, one technical update briefing and one special health briefing. A total of seven news releases, five Health Orders and three EAS bulletins were received and distributed in the JIC during the exercise. Some county news releases were never received in the JIC. This may have been result of problems with the fax machines or the lack of accessibility to the Emergency Management Information Tracking System (EMNETS) by the county representatives.
Media monitoring was performed by TVA staff. Local radio and television stations were monitored as well as internet social media and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) news

Emergency Public Information and Warning:
The primary means to alert citizens is the siren system activated at the Lauderdale EOC; this system was also used in conjunction with other county sirens during response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. EAS messages were developed and released in coordination with the other risk counties. The county has the capability of monitoring the EAS message encoding by the use of equipment in the 911 center adjacent to the EOC.
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 20 During the exercise, the EMA staff described utilizing backup route alerting to notify the public in event of a siren failure. Maps of routes are located in the county REP plan.
Any of the routes could be easily covered within 45 minutes of notification. The county also has the capability of notifying boats operating on the waterways by the use of public address systems.
A county liaison represented Lauderdale County in the JIC and was in frequent communication with the EMA Director. If necessary, messages could be developed and released through the county or the JIC. The rumor control position was not filled during the exercise. In a real event, it would be utilized to receive public inquiries. Inquiries would be answered and logged there. If there was an inquiry of wider interest or which involved other jurisdictions, it would be referred to the JIC.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 5.a.1, 5.a.3 and 5.b.1.
Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:
Lauderdale County EMA volunteers and staff successfully demonstrated the ability to perform radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers (EW). Workers properly set up and used a portal monitor and handheld instruments to detect radiological contamination, were knowledgeable of contamination action levels and decontamination procedures, and provided instructions to evacuees.
Workers described radiation safety briefings, appropriate protective clothing and dosimetry, reading and recording dosimeter readings on a periodic basis, and administrative dose limits. By interview, EMA volunteers and staff explained the flow of vehicles and evacuees through the Brooks High School (BHS) reception center and the Lauderdale High School (LHS) EW decontamination facility. Both facilities were well laid out, minimizing the chance for cross contamination. Public health nurses from the Lauderdale County Health Department would distribute KI, along with detailed written and verbal instructions, to EWs at LHS. EWs would be instructed not to ingest the KI until a Health Advisory was issued authorizing them to do so. Nurses would distribute KI to the public at BHS only after a Health Order was issued authorizing KI for the public.

For this capability the following REP criterion was MET: 6.c.1 3.2.3.2 Lawrence County Emergency Operations Center Management:
This capability was successfully demonstrated by Lawrence County, in part through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. The EOC maintained 24-hour operations for eight days in response to the storms.
Lawrence County actions included activation, notification, staffing, management, direction, control and coordination of storm response and recovery activities. The EOC also coordinated public information and warning. Lawrence County documented over 80,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> by volunteers assisting in the storm response and recovery.
During the exercise, alert and notification of essential personnel was made in a timely manner. Notification consisted of landline and cellular phone calls to pre-indentified staff by the 911 center dispatchers. The EOC had sufficient equipment and communications for conducting operations and communicating with other State and local governments and agencies. Communications were redundant and reliable throughout this exercise as they had been during the storm response.
The Director maintained situational awareness as it pertained to the countys special populations. There are a total of ten functional needs persons within the Lawrence County portion of the 10-mile EPZ. For this exercise, staff described relocating those functional needs persons to the Lawrence Medical Center as they actually had done during the storm response. During the storm response, 60 functional needs persons within the county were transported by the county transportation department and EMS.
There are three schools located on one campus within the 10-mile EPZ. For this exercise, staff described the relocation of the campus to the Lawrence County Coliseum. During the storm response, all county schools were released early in the morning prior to tornado warnings being issued and schools were closed during the extended county power outage.
For this exercise, EOC staff described the establishment of traffic control points (TCP) following the Site Area Emergency (SAE) emergency classification level (ECL). During the storm response, TCPs were established in a manner similar to a REP response and maintained access control similar to REP reentry and return operations. The TCPs were staffed by the Lawrence County Sheriffs Office and local police departments with additional support from the Alabama National Guard. Impediments were also cleared as they would be in a REP response. During the storm response, it was realized that more heavy equipment was needed to clear storm related impediments unlike that expected during a REP response.
Staff described the opening of county shelters during the exercise. Per plan, the county
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 22 notifies the ARC at the Alert ECL and at the SAE ECL the shelters are placed on standby, opening at the General Emergency (GE) ECL or with an evacuation order.
During the storm response, the ARC opened one shelter, the Moulton Community Shelter, which registered and provided accommodations for approximately 500 individuals on April 27. After the first day less than 40 individuals stayed at the shelter.
For the storm response, reception center and shelter operations were conducted in accordance with REP response plans minus the radiological monitoring function.
The EMA Director and the EOC staff clearly demonstrated the ability to provide effective emergency response. The EOC staff, composed of representatives from various municipal and county agencies, clearly understood their responsibilities, followed their plans and performed their assigned duties in an exemplary manner. The Director provided outstanding direction and control throughout the exercise and demonstrated the ability to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Lawrence County.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.2, 2.c.1, 3.a.1, 3.b.1, 3.c.1, 3.c.2, 3.d.1, 3.d.2 and 6.c.1.
Emergency Public Information and Warning:
This capability was successfully demonstrated by Lawrence County, in part through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. The EOC PIO demonstrated the capability to develop, coordinate and disseminate accurate alerts and emergency information to the media and the public by generating eight releases during this exercise. Numerous releases were generated in the same manner during the storm response by the county PIOs.
Lawrence County activated their PNS for the county after coordination with the other risk counties. Madison County, a host county, serves as the coordinator for this on the TVA Hotline. EAS messages are pre-scripted and released by the county PIO from the EOC to the countys local primary (LP-1) station. This was completed in a timely manner and without undue delay.
During the storm response, all TVA sirens within the 10-mile EPZ as well as six other county sirens were sounded seven times on April 27th with no failures. After the tornadoes cleared the area, the sirens were inoperable due to the county-wide loss of power with one TVA siren being damaged during the tornado. With the loss of sirens, the Sheriffs Office and county fire departments were placed on standby to complete public warning according to REP response plans for backup route alerting. Sheriffs Office personnel described actions for performing backup route alerting. Procedures detailing routes to be followed for specific siren failures, as well as a pre-scripted message to be broadcast are maintained in each patrol car. Officers would report to the EOC to obtain dosimetry and KI if necessary prior to performing backup route alerting.
The PIO continuously maintained contact with the PIO liaison at the JIC. They insured that any press releases were reviewed and approved prior to release. Public inquiry was
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 23 not demonstrated during this exercise. During the storm response, public inquiries were received and answered from the EOC. Call takers were volunteers and all answers to inquiries were approved by the Director or Deputy Director. Lessons learned from the storm response were the need to have one published rollover line that is released to the public. Numerous calls were received by the 911 Center, EOC and Sheriffs Office on the published phone numbers. REP plans call for one number being published for public inquiry; this REP response action would have improved storm response public inquiry.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 5.a.1, 5.a.3 and 5.b.1.
3.2.3.3 Limestone County Emergency Operations Center Management:
Limestone County EOC personnel successfully demonstrated this capability during the exercise. The ability of the county to orchestrate and sustain an emergency response to safeguard the life and property of its citizens was further amplified through the actions taken in the days and weeks following the tornado strikes throughout the county on April 27, 2011. The countys response to this event was validated through a review of news releases and duty logs, memos from responding agencies, copies of memorandum of agreement, and discussion with EMA and other agency representatives.
Although not required by the EOPA, the Emergency Management Director (EMD) recognized the opportunity the exercise provided. By fully activating the EOC during the exercise, she was able to introduce the EMA staff and support agencies to differences and similarities in managing a radiological release event at the BFNPP versus a natural disaster. Upon receiving notification of an Alert ECL at BFNPP, the EMD initiated timely actions to activate the EOC. Arriving personnel were provided position checklists to guide their actions through the escalation of the incident and provided frequent updates to maintain situational awareness.
The EMD explained that the countys ability to respond to the events of April 27th was enhanced by its participation as a risk county in the BFNPP 10-mile EPZ and the training and experience inherent in that role.
A proactive leader, the EMD coordinated with the support agencies to ensure they were initiating actions following the declaration of Alert that would enhance their responsiveness if the situation worsened and an SAE was declared. Following the SAE declaration; the agency representatives experience and training was evident as they worked through their checklists, coordinated internally and simulated actions required to implement planned precautionary measures. Representatives described the process through which they would relocate schools and special facilities, relocate the special needs population, open reception and congregate care centers, conduct river clearance and establish traffic control.
In discussion with the EMD and representatives it was evident that this same level of
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 24 competence was present as the county initiated early release of schools, establishment of a shelter and logistical support sites in response to the aftereffects of the April 27th tornadoes. A benefit derived from the tornado response that is not achievable in REP exercises was the continued activation and coordination of recovery operations. The EMD recognized that staffing of the EOC can be tailored to ongoing activities and overall management of the situation can successfully occur through interagency meetings, conference calls and face-to-face coordination without requiring the EOC to be fully staffed.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.2, 2.c.1, 3.a.1, 3.b.1, 3.c.1, 3.c.2, 3.d.1, 3.d.2 and 6.a.3.
Emergency Public Information and Warning:
This capability was fully demonstrated during the exercise and through a review of documentation from the events surrounding the April 27 severe storms and tornados.
Although PADs related to a deteriorating situation at BFNPP are within the realm of the State Health Officers representative at the SRMAC, the risk counties are responsible for the activation of the PNS and the dissemination of emergency action messages and emergency information. The Limestone County PNS consists of sirens and tone-alert radios. The EAS consists of local radio and television stations. All systems can be activated from the EOC.
During the exercise, SRMAC contacted the counties over the TVA Hotline on three occasions to inform them of protective measures they were directing through the issuance of Health Orders. Following each call, Madison County coordinated the times for Limestone and the other risk counties to activate their PNS and issue EAS messages. The EMD participated in the decision calls and provided guidance to the PIO on the preparation of EAS messages. In each case PNS and EAS activation occurred within five minutes of the counties agreement of times.
This same timely notification of the public occurred on April 27th when Limestone County was faced with severe storms and tornados. PNS/EAS were activated 13 times during the period from 0440 to 1638 on April 27th. The PIO prepared short EAS messages informing the public of the situation to include road closures, storm damage and siren outages. In the aftermath, EAS messages continued to be distributed until early July to keep the public aware of recovery and restoration activities and requirements.
PIO efforts to inform the public also include media briefings and the preparation and dissemination of informational flyers.
Although no siren failures were simulated during the exercise, there were power outages that rendered sirens ineffective during the storm. The Sheriffs Office maintained contact with the EOC to identify which areas were affected and dispatched patrols to those areas to alert citizens through the use of vehicle sirens and public address systems.

Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:
Limestone County EMA volunteers successfully demonstrated the ability to perform radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and EWs. Each reception center worker received a thorough radiation safety briefing, wore appropriate protective clothing and dosimetry, read and recorded dosimeter readings on a periodic basis, and was familiar with administrative dose limits. Workers properly set up and used portal monitors and handheld instruments to detect radiological contamination, were knowledgeable of contamination action levels and decontamination procedures, and provided detailed information and instructions to evacuees. By interview, EMA staff described the flow of vehicles and evacuees through the West Limestone High School and Ardmore High School reception centers. Both facilities were well laid out, minimizing the chance for cross contamination.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1, 6.a.1 and 6.b.1 3.2.3.4 Morgan County Emergency Operations Center Management:
Morgan County EOC personnel successfully demonstrated the ability to coordinate a multiagency response to an incident at BFNPP. The EOC had sufficient equipment, displays and supplies to support the emergency response. Multiple communication systems ensured the EOC could communicate with all response agencies as well as with other affected jurisdictions. Although the EOPA would have allowed limited participation, the EOC was fully staffed by all agencies, and all EOC staff members were actively engaged in the response. The EMD frequently encouraged staff to lean forward, anticipating actions necessary should plant conditions degrade. The EMD also ensured that the EOC staff was aware of current activities by leading several briefings.
EOC staff coordinated response actions in accordance with their plans and procedures including river clearance, early release of schools, relocation of special needs individuals and the preparation of reception centers and shelters.
This capability was also demonstrated in part through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. The EOC was partially activated following the first tornado watch and fully activated later in the day as the storms became more severe. The EOC remained operational initially for over 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and then approximately 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> per day for several days thereafter. Over 100 homes and some industrial buildings were damaged by tornadoes and power outages occurred over most of the county for several days.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 26 Emergency Public Information and Warning:
Morgan County demonstrated the ability to alert the public and provide timely emergency information. Following the issuance of emergency health orders by ADPH, Morgan County coordinated with the other risk counties to sound sirens and provide EAS messages to the media for broadcast. Although the county released one EAS message with incorrect information, a corrected message was released shortly thereafter. The PIO in the EOC and the Morgan County representative at the JIC communicated frequently which ensured the JIC was aware of information released by the EOC and that the EOC was aware of information released by other jurisdictions.
This capability was also demonstrated in part through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. The EOC sounded warning sirens in affected areas of the county twenty times during the storms. The EMD provided information to the public through media interviews both before and after the storms passed through.
Area Requiring Corrective Action:
007-11-5b1-A1-Resolved: Emergency Public Information and Warning; Morgan County provided incorrect information to the public regarding PADs.
Condition: The ADPH issued Emergency Health Order No. 3 at 1145 ordering the evacuation of all persons from sectors A-2, B-2, F-2, G-2, F-5, G-5, F-10, G-10 and H-10 of the Browns Ferry EPZ. The SRMAC accurately informed the Morgan County EOC of the order via the TVA Hotline at 1157. At 1201, The Morgan County EOC provided an EAS message to the media for immediate broadcast. This message incorrectly stated that persons in the listed sectors should take shelter, as a protective measure.
Possible Cause: Morgan County has developed several pre-scripted EAS message templates for use in the event of an incident at BFNPP. It appears the PIO in the EOC inadvertently used the take shelter template rather than the evacuate template to prepare the EAS message. The EMD approved release of the EAS message without carefully reviewing it.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 27 Effect: The information released by Morgan County was in direct conflict with the information released by the other counties in their EAS messages. This would have caused confusion among the public and could have prevented some people from evacuating who were in the affected areas, adversely impacting their health.
The confusion caused could also reduce the credibility of State and local governments also creating the potential to negatively impact the health and safety of the public.
Recommendation: Provide additional training to PIO staff on the use of pre-scripted EAS message templates and the importance of accurately portraying the PADs.
Consider developing joint messages with which all counties would concur and would issue under a joint masthead.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Shortly after the issuance of the erroneous message, Morgan County developed a message that accurately reflected the PAD, received concurrence from the EMD and broadcast the corrected message over the EAS at 1221. All other EAS messages issued by Morgan County accurately reflected PADs.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1.

In a later interview the principals of West Morgan Elementary, Middle, and High Schools and a representative from the Morgan County School District were also interviewed. Both school systems would send representatives to the Morgan County EOC following an Alert ECL and would begin coordination of protective actions for their respective schools with other agencies. The coordination is performed by following guidance developed in a cooperative effort with the county EMA staff.
Depending on the situation, schools could utilize early dismissal, shelter in place (SIP), or relocation to designated host schools. Notifications to parents or guardians are redundant by the use of telephone calls, web based systems, and news media to facilitate reunification. Students would be supervised at the host school until reunited with a parent or guardian.
For this capability the following REP criterion was MET: 3.c.2 Emergency Public Safety and Security Response:
The ability to control the flow of evacuee traffic in the event of an incident at BFNPP was successfully demonstrated through interview with Decatur Police Department (DPD) personnel. A DPD representative would report to the EOC once it was activated, and DPD officers would be dispatched to the nine pre-designated TCP as directed by the EOC. Traffic would be controlled through the positioning of patrol cars and barricades.
Traffic impediments would be cleared using wreckers or other heavy equipment. DPD personnel were knowledgeable in the use of dosimetry, administrative dose limits and procedures for obtaining and taking KI.
The ability to clear the Tennessee River of boat traffic in the event of an incident at BFNPP was successfully demonstrated through interview with Morgan County Rescue Squad (MCRS) personnel. MCRS members would be paged out by the Morgan County E911 center. MCRS would coordinate river clearance with the State Marine Police and rescue squads from other counties which can communicate by radio on a common frequency. MCRS would approach boats and read a pre-scripted message instructing them to proceed to the Decatur Boat Harbor. Once clearance was complete, MCRS would assist in maintaining a blockade of the river. MCRS members were knowledgeable in the use of dosimetry, administrative dose limits and procedures for obtaining and taking KI.

This capability was successfully demonstrated by Madison County, in part through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. Madison County EOC staff was professional and fully engaged throughout the exercise. Interviews with representative from multiple organizations conducted during the BFNPP exercise revealed the same dedication and professionalism throughout the initial two week period following the tornadoes. Plans and procedures included redundancies to ensure safety and protection of the public. EOC staff kept message boards and logs updated as new information became available. Multiple communications systems were available and utilized throughout the exercise. The primary communication system utilized was the TVA Hotline, backed up by commercial telephones.
For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.d.1 and 3.d.2.
Emergency Public Information and Warning:
This capability was successfully demonstrated by EOC staff during the exercise by coordinating the activation of sirens and the broadcast of EAS messages by the four risk counties following notification of each ECL change at BFNPP and each health order issued by ADPH.
This capability was also successfully demonstrated by Madison County through validation of actions taken in response to the severe storms and tornadoes on April 27, 2011. While backup route alerting is not a requirement for host counties, it was a necessity during the storms. Widespread power outages in the county disabled the PNS.
Police departments patrolled neighborhood to neighborhood with sirens and PA systems to warn the public of additional tornado threats in the area. Twenty-seven warnings were issued in Madison County following the devastating tornadoes. EOC staff members were equally as diligent coordinating the PNS and EAS messages with risk counties during the BFNPP exercise. All actions both real and simulated were conducted with a sense of urgency and according to plans and procedures.
For this capability the following REP criterion was MET: 5.a.1.
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 30 3.3 Evaluation Summary - Ingestion Exposure Pathway Tabletop Exercise Emergency Operations Center Management:
The ingestion exposure pathway portion of the exercise was a modified tabletop with State and local impacted counties situated in the same room. The tabletop began with jurisdiction introductions followed by a summarized briefing of events from day one through day three. ADPH discussed the radiological plume path and the affected counties, which were Franklin, Marion, Winston, Colbert and Lawrence Counties.
Lawrence County was significantly impacted within and outside the 10-mile EPZ.
ADPH identified the following discussion topics in order of priority: Relocation, return, re-entry, placement of TCPs for both control of contaminated areas and crop embargoes, identification of contaminated livestock and crops, and disposal of contaminated food.
Major action items were determined to be: development of a sampling plan; deployment of sampling teams; and reestablishment of local utilities, infrastructure and schools prior to evacuee return.
Limestone County and Madison County personnel efficiently coordinated their efforts with an AEMA Area Coordinator (AC) to address important questions and concerns.
Limestone County is located on the north side of the Tennessee River away from the contaminated areas and received no significant amounts of radiological deposition. The county decided to plan re-entry in sectors A-2 and B-2 as their initial priority. A discussion ensued about TCPs, care and feeding of livestock, damage control and a gap analysis to determine if state resources would be required. The final decisions were to:
conduct a damage assessment; conduct the gap analysis; request mutual aid through the North Alabama Mutual Aid Association (NAMAA); establish TCPs; and request the 44th Civil Support Team (National Guard) through AEMA for additional assistance. Madison County prepared to activate their backup reception center and congregate care facilities and provide mutual aid in accordance with NAMAA as requested.
AEMA provided great coordination through the AEMA ACs who were embedded within each county. The ACs reported the county decisions and requests to AEMA in a timely manner. The ACs worked closely with the county EMDs, providing State knowledge and expertise on emergency management functions. The ACs also functioned as facilitators to aid each county in focusing and aligning ingestion priorities. The AEMA SEOC played a very supportive role to the counties; planned for long term recovery; coordinated with FEMA; established situation reports; coordinated with the JIC; and determined resource allocations based of level of severity.
Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) provided liaisons for coordination with AEMA and ADPH. The TEMA liaisons melded with AEMA and developed a plan for mutual aid (field teams) and long term recovery assistance.
Lawrence County bore the brunt of the ground deposition from the simulated radiological release from BFNPP. The Lawrence County EMD superbly coordinated with the AEMA, ADPH, Lawrence County Extension Service, Morgan County EMD and the
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 31 Federal Advisory Team for Environment, Food and Health on re-entry, return and relocation for the affected county populace. Lawrence County began by establishing county priorities: 1) developing a TCP map in conjunction with ADPH and AEMA for re-entry and embargo; 2) requesting ADPH perform detailed analysis of county areas to determine if any county areas outside the 10-mile EPZ would require relocation [sectors G10 and H10 (within the 10-mile EPZ) were previously evacuated]; 3) the county Extension Service was tasked to locate and brief if any poultry, livestock, or agricultural businesses were located within the affected sectors; and 4) preparing and disseminating appropriate public information.
The Lawrence County EMD delegated the development of the TCPs in the embargo area to the Assistant EMD and ADAI and the development of re-entry TCPs to the Lawrence County PIO and local LE. The EMD and AEMA AC concentrated on the required relocation of the population in certain areas outside the 10-mile EPZ.
ADPH provided a refined map of the 10 to 15-mile area immediately outside of sectors G10 and H10. The map was detailed enough to view numbered county roads. The Lawrence County EMD, AEMA AC and ADPH discussed viable options to notify the populace within the relocation zone. The EMDs decision was to acquire an address listing of the relocation zone from the 911 center and provide the listing to county EWs trained on backup route alerting. The EWs would be dispatched to the relocation area to physically notify each resident of the situation and ensure a clear understanding of relocation instructions.
Counties impacted by embargo orders discussed methods for implementing those orders, including the placement of control points for agricultural products. Other counties which were not impacted by the radiological deposition identified resources which they could make available to the affected counties.
Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:
At the close of the plume exposure pathway phase of the exercise, an Advance Party Meeting was held to discuss arrival and placement of Federal assets from the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) and Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) teams from the Savannah River Site. This meeting was attended by AEMA, ADPH, ADAI, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservations(TDEC) Division of Radiological Health, and Department of Energy personnel representing FRMAC and RAP. Two members of the Federal Advisory Team for Environment, Food and Health (one from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and one from the Food and Drug Administration) also attended. TVA presented a brief summary of events that occurred during the plume phase of the exercise that day. This included the sequence of events leading up to a GE declaration with a radiological release from the plant and also a summary of all the Health Orders issued.
After reviewing the information for day 1, AEMA and ADPH were given a dose projection map developed by TVA showing deposition data based upon the released
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 32 source term and the prevailing winds. Areas were identified to begin sampling based upon the priority of identifying areas where the public would have to be relocated from due to long term ground deposition exceeding any of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAG) for relocation. The discussions centered on initially having nineteen possible fields teams made up of personnel from Alabama, Tennessee, FRMAC, the EPA and RAP on day 2. These teams would be utilized to sample areas downwind and outside the 10-mile EPZ to determine if additional civilian personnel would have to be moved due to excessive ground deposition. Further information was given for day 2 conditions including the first flyover map from the FRMAC Aerial Measuring System using a fixed wing airplane flying at 1,000 ft elevation to identify deposition and ground level exposure rates. This was followed by a Day 3 summary including a low level helicopter flyover to measure ground level exposure rates.
At the end of the day 3 discussion, ADPH personnel were supplied ten isotopic sample results from different locations on the ground deposition map. ORC personnel utilized the sample data by inputting each isotope from the sample into a spreadsheet that calculated a conversion from picocuries per square meter into a gamma exposure rate and effective dose equivalent. The spreadsheet, one used in the accident assessment course at the FEMA Emergency Management Institute (EMI), calculated year one, year two, and 50-year doses to individuals living at that location. This allowed the sampling data to be quickly transformed into annual doses to be compared against the EPA PAGs. A division of effort between teams made for effective and timely relocation, return and re-entry decisions. Based upon the sample data that was analyzed and tabulated, an outline of an additional area for relocation outside the 10-mile EPZ was established. The team identified their priorities for the sample plan concentrating on relocation first, then return to previously evacuated zones, and then conducting agriculture sampling for decisions on embargoed milk and crops in the affected area. This demonstrated their philosophy of a people first attempt to control doses to the general public.
Conditions on day 4 were discussed and it was determined that the relocation of the identified area outside the 10-mile EPZ would begin after final relocation boundaries were determined. During these discussions on day 4 between ADPH, AEMA and the counties it was determined to sample areas outside the low level flyover map to verify that any contamination was below EPA PAGs. Once the samples had been analyzed in the laboratory and dose levels calculated, they would then identify areas for return of evacuees into previously evacuated sectors. Based upon sampling results it was determined that zones F-10 and H-10 could have the public return to their homes and business after verifying with the county that utilities and social services were available in those areas. They also developed a plan to start sampling in portions of evacuated zones F-5 and G-5 to establish areas where the public could return with no restrictions. A plan was developed for individuals who wanted to re-enter evacuated areas to feed livestock, recover medicines or valuables. Re-entry would be based upon individuals not exceeding an annual dose limit of 5 rem, which would be achieved by limiting individuals to 100 mrem/week. ADPH identified dosimetry requirements for re-entry and where the dosimetry would be picked up and returned. They also identified monitoring areas and decontamination facilities for personnel travelling into and out of any restricted areas.

After Action Report (AAR) 2011 Browns Ferry REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 BFNPP REP Exercise 33 ADPH also had good discussions and interaction with the FRMAC representative and the Advisory Team members concerning embargo of crops and sampling requirements to release previously embargoed agricultural products in nearby counties including Colbert, Marion, Franklin and Winston.
Emergency Public Information and Warning:
Public information was prepared and discussed by the TVA Public Communications Manager, ADPH Public Information Manager and AEMA Public Information Manager.
During the tabletop, the above functioned as the JIC in continuance of operations from the plume phase of the exercise. The PIOs quickly acclimated themselves to the current situation and discussed priorities on public releases.
The PIOs agreed that the first priority was a news release regarding the additional relocation of Lawrence County citizens. The PIOs coordinated with Lawrence County, ADPH and AEMA regarding the specifics of this relocation. The subsequent news release was drafted by the PIOs, reviewed and approved by authorized agency representatives. All additional releases were completed in the same manner with only the approving authorities changing with each release.
News releases prepared during the tabletop were on the following subjects: Additional relocation of Lawrence County residents, embargo of agricultural products in the five county areas, and a reminder to place livestock on stored feed.
Subjects of additional types of news releases and public/media issues discussed included:
return and re-entry with specific instructions; establishment of an American Nuclear Insurers claims office; summary of questions and answers from media briefs, a timeline of events; technical explanation of response; decontamination and recovery vs.
condemnation and seizure for health and safety; disposal of contaminated food and agricultural products; response agency involvement; half life of I-131 explanation; schools, hospitals, and nursing home in evacuated and relocated areas; pet information.
ADPH and AEMA also supplied the following pre-printed documents: Radiological Emergency Information for Farmers, Food Processors, and Distributors; Agriculture and Nuclear Power in the Tennessee Valley; Controlled Reentry Guidelines; Hunting and Fishing Restrictions; Guidance to Minimize Exposure; Guidelines for Small Scale Farms; Precautionary Actions for Food Processors; and Bee Keeper Restrictions The PIOs placed an emphasis on thorough and accurate press releases and on keeping those releases clear and concise. They also placed an added emphasis on conducting regular new conferences, recommending two daily media briefs by the State and TVA leadership.
During the tabletop exercise, the following REP criteria were MET: 2.d.1, 2.e.1, 3.e.1, 3.e.2, 3.f.1 and 5.b.1.
