Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Executive Summary On November 29, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP). The evaluation of out of sequence activities during the week of October 11-13, and 26, 2011 is included in this report. The activities included: Traffic control points (TCP); protective actions for schools; reception and congregate care centers; emergency worker and vehicle monitoring and decontamination.

The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on March 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 28, 1987.

Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina; the risk counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region II; and Progress Energy as well as numerous volunteers participated in this exercise. FEMA Region IV also played in the exercise by providing response liaison personnel to the State of North Carolina, which contributed to exercise realism. The cooperation and teamwork of the participants was evident throughout all phases of the exercise. FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated and made the exercise a success.

State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. FEMA did not identify any Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during this exercise. The strength of the working relationships between the various State and local first responder agencies in their mission planning and execution abilities throughout all phases of the exercise was obvious, and confirmed the success of the Harris Task Force organizational structure. The Harris Task Force, co-chaired by representatives from both North Carolina Emergency Management and Progress Energy, has proven to be an excellent example of public and private agency cooperation.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 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 16 planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for licensee, 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 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 visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the NRC that 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.

On March 28, 1988, the State of North Carolina formally submitted the RERP for the HNP to FEMA Region IV. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on April 29, 1989 in accordance with 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was evaluated on November 29, 2011, and included evaluations of the following out-of-sequence activities held from October 11 through 13, 2011, and on October 26, 2011:

  • Chatham County: Emergency worker and equipment monitoring and decontamination at Pittsboro Fire Department, Old Graham Road Fire Station on October 11, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Northwood High School on October 13, 2011.
  • Wake County: Protective actions for schools at Fuquay-Varina Senior High School on March 21, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Garner Magnet High School on October 26, 2011. Medical Services Drill (MS-1) at Hospital October 12, 2011.

Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 HNP REP Exercise 11

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 2.2 FEMA Exercise Objectives and Capabilities 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 (MAC) 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 EMS.
  • Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, 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 Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 HNP REP Exercise 12

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.

  • Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment: Is the capability to appropriately dispatch EMS resources; to provide feasible, suitable, and medically acceptable pre-hospital triage and treatment of patients; to provide transport as well as medical care en-route to an appropriate receiving facility; and to track patients to a treatment facility.
  • 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 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: The Public Health Laboratory Testing capability is the 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 ARCAs assess and no unresolved ARCAs from prior exercise)
  • ARCAs assessed or unresolved ARCAs from previous exercises
  • Deficiency assessed
  • Plan Issues
  • Not Demonstrated 3.2 Evaluation Summaries 3.2.1 State of North Carolina 3.2.1.1 State Emergency Operations Center Emergency Operations Center Management Capability Summary:

This capability was successfully demonstrated by the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and the Central Branch Office (CBO) Regional Coordination Center (RCC).

The SERT activated the SEOC in a timely manner and effectively demonstrated the States emergency response actions for a radiological incident involving the HNP. The SERT Leader provided direction and control for the response effort, encouraging his key staff to anticipate necessary actions to be taken should plant or meteorological conditions change. SERT members were knowledgeable of their responsibilities and successfully coordinated necessary actions with the risk counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake, various State and Federal agencies, and the utility. Periodic conference calls and status briefings ensured the counties and agencies had current situational awareness. The SERT Leader and risk counties concurred on appropriate decisions to protect the health and safety of the public and emergency workers.

Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability Summary:

The SERT PIO staff operating from the SEOC demonstrated this capability through activities related to the prompt notification system and the subsequent coordination of emergency information developed by public information personnel supporting the JIC.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 17

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Emergency instructions for the public in response to the incident at HNP were prepared, coordinated and disseminated in accordance with Annexes C and E of the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan. Following concurrence between the State and risk counties on protective action decisions (PAD) for the public, the SERT transmitted the appropriate EAS message to broadcast radio stations via the EMnet system for broadcast at the agreed upon time. Secondary notification was accomplished by faxing the message to the National Weather Service (NWS) for broadcast over the NWS radio system, received by tone alert radios.

The preparation and dissemination of emergency information was accomplished at the JIC. Prior to release, the JIC writers provided draft information releases to the SERT PIO for proof reading and editing of information prior to approval by the SERT Leader. The information releases were then returned to the JIC for final dissemination.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1 3.2.1.2 Central Branch Office The CBO demonstrated the capability to effectively activate and manage the RCC through the activation and deployment of selected staff to liaise with the utility, support the joint information effort and coordinate jurisdictional response requirements. While the CBO-RCC effectively executed its responsibilities, two notable actions stood out.

First, the CBO-RCC uniquely involved counties in the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ), counties not normally involved in plume phase exercises, through the provision of periodic situational updates. This action recognized that the CBO-RCC responsibilities extend to a greater population than in the four risk counties.

Secondly, the CBO-RCC demonstrated its attention to detail and analysis of requirements when they questioned the viability of a selected equipment relocation staging area. This action also helped identify the need for increased dissemination of selected operating guidelines within the response community.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1 and 2.b.2 3.2.1.3 Dose Assessment Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination Capability Summary:

During the HNP November 2011 Exercise the State of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS); Radiation Protection Section (RPS) demonstrated the capability to perform the required accident assessment including dose projections and field team surveys to support protective action recommendations (PAR) to the SERT Leader. The RPS Accident Assessment Center was in the SEOC that was located at 116 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 18

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise West Jones Street, in Raleigh, NC. This location is about 22 miles northeast of HNP and outside the plume exposure emergency planning zone.

During the exercise, the RPS staffed all key positions and was operational by 0930. The primary method of communications in the SEOC was landline phones and face-to-face communications within the SEOC. Communications with the Field Monitoring Teams (FMT), Sample courier, SERT Power Plant Liaison at the HNP Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Mobile Laboratory were through the 800 MHz radio system. The FMTs were well equipped, knowledgeable of their procedures and use of survey and air sampling equipment while in the field.
