After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On October 18, 2011, a full-scale plume exercise was demonstrated and evaluated for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) exposure pathway around the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III.

Out-of-Sequence demonstrations were conducted on July 13, 14 and 15, 2011. The purpose of the Exercise and Out-of-Sequence demonstrations was to assess the capabilities of State, county, and local jurisdictions to implement Radiological Emergency Plans and Procedures (RERP) to protect the property and lives of residents and transients in the event of an emergency at the CCNPP.

The findings in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA, Region III Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC)

Chairperson, and approved by FEMA Headquarters. These reports are provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and participating states. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency preparedness.

The most recent full-scale exercise at this site was evaluated in October 2009.

The evaluation of this Exercise determined that there were no Deficiencies and twelve (12) Areas requring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of this exercise. All ARCAs (12) were successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise or during remedial re-demonstrations held on January 27 and February 7, 2012. There were four (4) new Planning Issues identified. One (1) new Planning Issue was resolved before the release of this report and three (3) remain open. In addition, one (1) Planning Issue from the 2009 CCNPP Plume exercise, that was applicable to the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE), was resolved prior to this exercise.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of many individuals in the State of Maryland and its three risk counties (Calvert, St. Mary's and Dorchester) that were evaluated at 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 responibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.

Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during the exercise.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design

Introduction:

On December 7, 1979, the President directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities were 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 Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

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 government participation in joint exercises with licensees..

FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include' the following:

Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and' evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans (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 State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993(Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993; and coordinating the activities of the following Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ

Description:

The Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) is located near Maryland Highway 2-4 in Calvert County, Maryland, on the west bank of the Chesapeake Bay near Lusby, Maryland. The site is owned and operated by Constellation Energy Group and covers an area of approximately 2,108 acres. Seventy percent of the area remains forested and relatively undisturbed by CCNPP activities. There are several endangered plant and insect species Within the boundaries 'of the site.

Two pressurized water reactors each generate an electrical output of 825 MW that provide power 12 4

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant to around 400,000 residential customers. Unit 1 began commercial-operation during May 1975 and Unit 2 in April 1977. On March 23, 2002, the license was renewed, thereby extending the life of the plant by 20 years.

Nearby communities include: Calvert Beach and Long Beach;. approximately 3 miles to the northwest; Cove Point, approximately 4 1/2 miles to the southeast; Chesapeake Ranch Estates, approximately 6 miles to the south-southwest; and the Patuxent Naval Air Test Center, approximately 10 miles to the south. Camp Bay Breeze, a summer ,camp, is located 2 miles southeast of the site.

The topography of the vicinity around the plant defines several small watersheds. The watershed containing the plant and auxiliary structuresdrains into the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay has an average depth of 30 feet and receives the majority of its fresh water, sediment, and nutrients from the Susquehanna River.

A majority of the land in the area surrounding the.site is devoted to agricultural and forest use, such as farming of tobacco, corn, soybeans, and hay. Dairy farming is of minor importance. The waters adjacent to the site are used for commercial fishing, primarily for shellfish such as clams, oysters, and crabs.

There are approximately 58j058 people in the 10-mile EPZ, 13,307 in the 5-mile EPZ, and 2,329 in the 2-mile EPZ. There are approximately 9,563 transients within the EPZ during peak seasonal activities, e.g., daytime, during the summer. No major populated cities (greater than 25,000) exist within the 10-mile EPZ.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities The objective of the CCNPP 2011 Plume Exercise was to demonstrate the capabilities of State and local emergency management agencies to mobilize emergency management and emergency response personnel, to activate emergency operations centers and support facilities, and to .

protect the health, lives, and property of thecitizens residing within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

To demonstrate the ability to communicate between multiple levels of government and provide timely, accurate, and sufficiently detailed information to the public, the emergency management 13

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant agencies used a variety of resources including radios, telephones, the Internet, the media, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and the utility Alert and Notification System sirens (ANS). All of these communications resources were employed and evaluated. The EAS and ANS was simulated and media information was prepared but not actually released.

An essential capability of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP) is to evacuate, monitor and decontaminate if necessary, and provide temporary care and shelter to displaced residents fromr the EPZ: The ability of the counties to mobilize personnel and resources to establish reception, monitoring and decontamination, and mass care centers was demonstrated.

The protection of ýchool children -is also a vital mission of the REPP. School districts and selected schools demonstrated the capability to communicate and coordinate the collection, evacuation, transportation and :shelter of students attending schools within the EPZ. Provisions for students who live within the EPZ but attend school outside were also evaluated.

2.3 Scenario Summary NOTE: All information below is scenario simulated. The times for the events are approximate as the NRC licensee's operations crew on the reactor training simulator will be provided opportunity for free play.

At 0800 on October 18, 2011, the exercise starts in the CCNPP Unit '1 Training Simulator control room. It is raining. The wind speed is 12 miles per hour and the wind direction is from the southwest to the northeast. CCNPP Unit 1 and Unit 2 are operating at 100 percent power. At 0809 the Control Room receives an alarm indicating that a fire pump has started and a sprinkler head has opened in the Auxiliary Feed Water Pump room. There are also reports of a steam release in the Auxiliary Feed Water Pump room.

On or before 0822 the Shift Manager declares an Alert under EAL A.A.6.2.3 for a "steam leak in a safe shutdown area which results in either visible damage to plant structures or equipment needed for safe shutdown or affected safety system performance is degraded indicating damage to safety systems."

At 0830 the National Weather Service issues a Tornado Watch for Southern Maryland. At 0845 the Control Room receives a high water alarm for the IA Diesel Generator. At 0855 the NWS 14 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert.Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant issues a Tornado Warning for Southern Maryland. At 0915 a Tornado knocks down the 69 kV electric supply line to Calvert Cliffs. At 0929 the Steam Generator Feed Pump trips. At 0930 the Operators manually shut down the reactor.

At 0936 a second Tornado knocks down the three high lines supplying power to the plant. The Tornado proceeds through uninhabited property to the Bay and dissipates. The CCNPP experiences a Loss of Offsite Power. On Unit 1, one of the.two emergency diesel generators starts and loads. The other emergency diesel generator fails.to start. On Unit 2.both the emergency diesel generators start and load. The fifth back-up emergency diesel generator has also failed to start. At 1005 a Power Operated Relief Valve sticks open and a High Pressure Safety Injection Pump trips. At this point Unit 1 will not be, able to cool:the nuclear core.

On or before 1020 the Emergency Director declares a Site Area Emergency under EAL H.S.5.1.3 for a loss or potential loss of any two containment barriers.. There is apotential loss of the fuel clad barrier due to loss of heat removal and a potential loss of the reactor coolant barrier due to sub cooling less than 25 degrees. The wind speed is 19 miles per hour and the wind direction is from the southwest to the northeast. It is raining.

Between 1020 and 1154 the reactor water level steadily decreases until, the core is uncovered.

Core Exit Thermocouples and the Containment High Range Radiation Monitor readings continue to increase to levels indicating that the fuel clad has been severely damaged. At 1145 the wind direction changes and it is now from the southeast to the northwest.

On or before 1209 the Emergency Director declares a General Emergency under EAL H.G.5.1.4 for the loss of any two barriers and a potential loss of a third barrier. There is a loss of the fuel clad and the reactor coolant barrier and a potential loss of the reactor containment. The expected CCNPP PAR based on degrading plant conditions will be to evacuate the 2 mile ring and 5 miles downwind (PAZ 1 and PAZ 2), take potassium iodide and shelter the remainder of the EPZ.

There are no releases in progress at this time. The wind speed is 22 miles per hour and the wind direction is from the southeast to the northwest. It is still raining.

At 1245 a hydrogen gas burn in containment causes damage to the Personnel Air .Lock seals opening a release pathway for radioactive material from the Reactor Containment Building into the Auxiliary Building and then out the Auxiliary Building Vent to the environment. The radioactive release is monitored but it is not filtered. The wind speed is 18.7. miles per hour, the 15

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant stability class is D and the wind is from the southeast into the northwest. The rain has stopped.

The dose assessment team determines that the EPA PAG for the adult thyroid is exceeded out to 2 miles from the site.

At 1300 the CCNPP technical assessment of core damage is that there is over-heating of the fuel pellets and the possibility of a core melt in the reactor vessel. By 1400 the containment high range radiation monitor reads 1.8E+6 R per hour. It is possible that the State of MD may decide to evacuate additional areas such as PAZ 4 and 5.

At 1400 the spare fifth emergency diesel generator is repaired and will supply power to the disabled safety systems on Unit 1. The containment high range radiation monitor starts a slow downward trend in reading. However, the Auxiliary Building vent monitor continues its upward trend, indicating that there is still a significant inventory of radioactive material inside the buildings waiting to be released. Radioactive releases will continue through to the termination of the exercise.

At 1500 the Lead Controller terminates the exercise, if the evaluators indicate that the onsite and offsite objectives have been met.

If the emergency workers had followed the directions given by the Radiological Officer, they would not have been able to immediately respond to a Life Safety emergency. The Calvert County Radiological Emergency Plan does not give the Radiological Officer sufficient information in this area; to use in the Emergency Worker Briefing on what to do and what the approval process is for them in the event they need to assume those duties in the field.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Calvert County Radiological Emergency Plan sections 4-2 and 4-3 have been revised to fully explain the approval procedures for increasing worker exposure and the checklist for the Emergency Worker Brief was updated to reflect that guidance.

ISSUE NO.: 11-11-3cl-P-02 CRITERION: Protective action decisions are implemented for special populations other than schools within areas subject to protective actions.

CONDITION: The Calvert County Radiological Emergency Plan does not describe the protective action procedures for special populations. The plan merely states that the public will be asked to aidneighbors who are handicapped, impaired, or with special needs requiring special attention.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Calvert County Radiological Emergency Plan does not contain a full description of the county's process for addressing special populations.

ISSUE NO.: 11-11-cl-A-05 CRITERION: Key personnel with functional roles for the ORG, provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible.

CONDITION: During the exercise, adequate direction and control was not demonstrated at the Dorchester County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), as evidenced by:

• The notification of an Alert Emergency Classification Level (ECL) was received in the EOC at 0824. Upon arrival in the EOC, the staff was not briefed until 1002, and plant condition status was not provided until requested by EOC staff.

• As subsequent ECL notifications were received, the information was read to EOC staff, however, no updates from the staff were requested until the 1340 briefing.

• There was little to no interaction among the EOC staff. Occasionally, information was shared between individual staff members, but there was no collective sharing of information in the EOC.

When calls came in over the dedicated line from CCNPP, the noise level in the EOC made it very difficult for the call taker to hear the information. Because of this noise, when the General Emergency ECL notification came in, EOC leadership was unaware of the call. The call taker assumed that the message was heard and did not inform EOC leaders that the call was in progress. After 12 minutes, the call taker was asked if the EOC had received an update, and when informed that they had, the County joined the conference call with the other OROs.

31

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant The Emergency Alert System (EAS) message was sent out by Calvert County on behalf of Dorchester County; however, Dorchester County did not review the message after it was broadcast.

Overall, there was very little teamwork in the EOC and while plans were available to each member of the EOC, not all members followed procedures.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: EOC leadership was distracted by tasks that should have been delegated to staff members, resulting in a command and control vacuum at the County.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 A. l.d, A.2.a EFFECT

Without proper management of the EOC, key information could be missed and required activity may not be coordinated or occur.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: During the February 7, 2012 drill, the EOC Manager effectively led the staff in responding to a simulated emergency at Calvert Cliffs, including public alert and notification and the implementation of protective actions (as well as radiological exposure control). Coordination of response among the State, counties and utility/plant was demonstrated. The EOC Manager conducted several comprehensive briefings (with the first one occurring shortly after EOC activation); in all cases ensuring a two-way dialogue by requesting each staff member to report-out on their respective activities. Checklists were utilized by the staff throughout the drill, with periodic reminders by the EOC Manager to look ahead, should the emergency escalate. An Incident Status Board was maintained current, throughout the drill. All requirements were properly processed and completed.

ISSUE NO.: 11-11-2al-A-06 CRITERION: OROs use a decision-making process to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or 32 4

CONDITION: Radiation exposure control was inadequately briefed during the radiation safety briefing. Re-demonstration was attempted and unsuccessful.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Radiological Officer/Assistant Radiological Officer and the Dorchester County Health Official did not use briefing aids or other reference information during their radiological brief. ,

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, J.10.e EFFECT: The emergency workers were put at risk due to the inadequate administration of emergency worker radiation exposure control.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: This criterion was successfully re-demonstrated in a remedial exercise on February 7, 2012. Radiological exposure control briefings were scripted and standardized. A Dorchester County Health Department representative presented accurate and pertenent- information- regarding Potassium Iodide: its purposes, side effects, and authorized use. The Dorchester County Radiological Officer provideda thorough and accurate briefing on radiation exposure limits and personal protective measures. All emergency workers were briefed at one time. Information cards were provided to emergency workers with radiological reference material for their use while carrying out field assignments.

ISSUE NO.: 11-11-3al-A-07 CRITERION: OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers JAW plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read and record dosimeter readings.

CONDITION: Radiological briefings to Emergency Workers were inconsistent, inaccurate, and unclear.

33

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

NUREG-0654, K.3 EFFECT: The Back-up Route Alerting officer did not understand the dosimetry equipment. He did not check dosimetry while driving the route.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Durindgthe February 7,2012, re-demonstration the Back-up Route Alerting offieer3-Was adequatelylbriefed at the Dorchester County EOC and was interviewed during the route and was determined to be knowledgeable about his dosimetry equipment and radiological:limits. He frequently checked his dosimetry while drivingthe routeandre.fered to the information printed on a laminated 3x5 card provided by the radiological officer during the briefing at the Dorchester County EOC.

ISSUE NO.: 11-11-5a3-A-12 CRITERION: Activities associated with FEMA approved exception areas (where applicable) are completed within 45 minutes following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation.

Backup alert and notification of the public is completed within 45 minutes following the detection by the ORO of a failure of the primary alert and notification system.

CONDITION: The Back-up Route Alerting was not completed within 45 minutes following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergencyofficials to notify the public of an emergency situation.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The law enforcement staff at the Dorchester County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was not aware of the need to demonstrate back-up route alerting. When informed of the siren failure, it took 14 minutes to choose the appropriate route, request an officer and for the officer to arrive at the EOC. Briefing the officer on the route, issuing dosimetry and KI took an additional six minutes. This left the officer 25 minutes to reach and drive the selected route..'

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The CALVEX 2011 is a full-scale exercise (FSE) designed to establisha learning environment for players to exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to Nuclear Power Plant accidents. An FSE is a complex event that requires detailed planning. To conduct an effective exercise, subject matter experts (SMEs) and local representatives from numerous agencies have taken part in the planning process and will take part in exercise conduct and evaluation.

This Exercise Plan (ExPlan) was produced at the direction of the Maryland Emergency Management Agency and Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant with the input, advice, and assistance of the EPT. The CALVEX 2011 is evidence of the growing partnership between Private, State and local jurisdictions for response to the threats our Nation and communities face.

Confidentiality The CALVEX 2011 is an unclassifiedexercise. The control of information is.based more on public sensitivity regarding the nature of the exercise than on the actual exercise content. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use of exercise planners, controllers, and evaluators, but players may view other materials deemed necessary to their performance. This ExPlan may be viewed by all exercise participants, but the ControllerandEvaluator (C/E)

Handbook is a restricteddocument intendedfor controllers and evaluators only.

All exercise participants should use appropriate guidelines to ensure the proper control of information within their areas of expertise and protect this material in accordance with current MEMA directives.,

Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the EPT.

Purpose The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate player actions against current response plans and capabilities for a nuclear power plant-related incident, and to comply with the requirements of 44 CFR 350 and the guidelines of NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. Exercise planners utilized the elements described in the 67 FR 20580 (April 25, 2002) and Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (August 2002) to develop this exercise.

The objective of CCNPP, Maryland State and rick county agencies is to demonstrate reasonable assurance that the public can be protected during a nuclear power plant emergency.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 Target Capabilities The establishment of the National Preparedness Priorities have 'steered the focus of homeland security toward a capabilities-based planning approach. Capabilities-based planning focuses on planning under uncertainty, since the next danger or disaster can never be forecast with complete accuracy. Therefore, capabilities-based planning takes an all-hazards approach to planning and preparation which builds capabilities that can be applied to a wide variety of incidents. States and Urban Areas use capabilities-based planning to identify a baseline assessmhen~t of their homeland security efforts by comparing their current capabilities against the Target Capabilities List (TCL) and the critical tasks of the Universal Task List (UTL) Th.is approach identifies gaps in current capabilities and focuses efforts on identifying and developing priority capabilities and tasks for" the jurisdiction. These priority capabilities are articulated in the jurisdiction's homeland'security strategy and Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP), of which this exercise is a component of.

The capabilities listed below have been selected by the EPT planning team from the priority capabilities identified in Maryland Multi-Year TEP. These capabilities provide the foundation for development of the exercise objectives and scenario, as the purpose of this exercise is to measure and validate performance of these capabilities and their associated critical tasks.

Common Target Capabilities Planning Communications Risk Management Prevent Mission Area Target Capabilities Information Gathering and Recognition of Indicators and Warnings Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosives (CBRNE) Detection Respond Mission Area Target Capabilities On-Site Incident Management Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Management Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution Responder Safety and Health Environmental Health Citizen Evacuation and Shelter-in-Place Emergency Public Information and Warning Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, and Related Services) 67

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 Exercise Objectives The EPT selected objectives that focus on evaluating emergency response procedures, identifying areas for improvement, and achieving a collaborative attitude. The CALVEX exercise objectives and extent of play have been submitted in a separate document.

Outstanding Issues.

There are no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) as a result of the previous FEMA-evaluated CALVEX exercise at CCNPP in October 20, 2009. One planning issue was identified.

Issue Number: 11-09-2.e. 1-P-01 Condition' There are several instances in MDE procedures where the use of occupational dose limits (5 rem/year TEDE) in accordance with Manual of Protective Actions of Protective,Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA-400-R 00 during the intermediate phase of the response is not clearly described. For example, in MDE - EP-306,

• Protective Action Recommendation for Ingestion Pathway/Recovery/Reentry Phase, Rev. 4, Attachment 4 includes discussion of doses up to and exceeding 25 rem for life-saving missions. It is unclear why authorization of doses exceeding 5 rem TEDE would be required during the intermediate phase. Additionally, the note on page 4 of MDE EP-307, Protective Action Recommendation for Ingestion Pathway/Recovery/Reentry Phase, indicates that "individuals permitted to reenter a restricted zone should not exceed 5 rem/year CDE", when the occupational dose limits are given as TEDE.

Possible Cause: Plans may not have been written with an appropriate emphasis on the difference between the use of emergency dose limits during the early (emergency) phase and occupational dose limits during the intermediate and late phases.

Reference:

NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-1, Rev. 1, Criterion M.l Effect: Personnel may not understand that different dose limits apply during the early emergency phase and during the intermediate/late phases, and need to managed and tracked independently.

Recommendation: The Maryland plans MDE procedures should be revised to clarify that different dose limits apply during the early emergency phase and the intermediate/late phases.

State Response: The Maryland procedures will be reviewed and revised as appropriate to clarify dose limits that apply during the early emergency phase and the intermediate/late phases (i.e. emergency exposure limits vs. occupational exposure limits) 68

ExPlan CALVEX.2011 CHAPTER 2: EXERCISE LOGISTICS'-

Exercise Summary General The CALVEX 2011 is designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise their plans and procedures for responding to a terrorist incident. The CALVEX ,2011 will be, conducted on September 13, 2011. Exercise play is scheduled, for about, 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or until the lead offsite controller determines that the exercise objectives havebeen met at each venue.

Assumptions To create an exercise scenario, equipment malfunctions are required to facilitate the simulated accident.

Due to designed reliability and redundancy of safety systems, probable equipment malfunctions are difficult to incorporate into a scenario, especially where they are needed to cause plant damage that creates a serious problem to the off-site environment. The scenario contains improbable- failures that lead to off-site consequences. The Updated Final Safety Analysis Report provides the analyzed capabilities of plant systems to maintain control overradioactive material within the plant during off-normal plant incidents. Thus, to incorporate malfunctions into a scenario, assumptionsmust be made which are not consistent with design and analysis data. ,

Public perception.of an exercise scenario may lead to the belief that these events are probable. If the sequence of events presented in this scenario were probable, an Un-reviewed Safety. Question would exist and actions would be taken to rectify the situation. -

In order to achieve a sequence of events forcing participant emergency response action, the following improbable events have been incorporated in the scenario design:-

1. Inadvertent valve operation

2. Multiple tomado strikes

3. Loss of all offsite power -

4. Failure of emergency diesel generator

5. Stuck open relief valve

6. Failure of charging pumps

7. Failure of safety injection

8. Failure of Containment spray

9. Failure of Containment cooling

10. Containment hydrogen combustion

11. Failure of air lock seals

12. Containment failure occurs due to the Personnel Airlock gasket degradation and door operating mechanism failure.

13. NUREG 1228 discusses isolation failures on page 4-42. "Isolation failure typically refers to a failure of the isolation valves to go to their required (closed) position. In this (NUREG 1228) 69

0 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)/

Homeland, Security Exercise-and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

ExPlan CALVEX 2011

14. assessment, it~is assumed that an isolation failure is the result of the failure of the valve seals. In Table 4.10, it is assumed that a failure to isolate is equivalent to 100 % / day leakage. This approximates leakage of purge and vent system isolation valve seals. The metal-to-metal clearance between the valve disk and body is normally between 1/16 and. 1/8 in. Therefore, for a 40-inch diameter valve, a total seal failure would correspond to a 6-in2 hole."

15. The containment leak rate in this scenario has no actual physical basis. It is based on a simulator malfunction for a containment leak that is equivalent to 15 % of the containment air volume by weight per day. Using the CHRRM monitoring method given in ERPTP-5 11, a leak rate was selected for i0/o v',olume per ddy (6.6 E+5 cc/s). The leak rate corresponds to 1400 cfm and was selected to achieve an offsite dose consequence. The leak is assumed to by-pass the Personnel Airlock double gasket. 'The leak is able to relieve pressure as it builds for the duration of the scenario. The peak release rate for this scenario is 8.25E+8 uCi/s NG and 3.44E+6 uCi/s I as modeled with the RADDOSE dose assessment model using the WRNGM monitoring method.

Assumptions constitute the implied factual foundation for'the exercise and, hence, are assumed to be present before the start'of the exercise. The following general assumptions apply to the CALVEX 2011: -

• The exercise will be graded against the REP criteria. Elements outside the scope of the REP Criteria will not be graded.'-

" This exercise will be conducted. in a no-fault learning environment wherein systems and processes, not individuals, will be evaluated.

• Exercise simulation will be'realistic and plausible, containing sufficient detail from which to respond.

• Exercise players will react to the information and situations as they are presented, in the same manner as if this had been a real event.

Constructs and Constraints Constructs are exercise devices, designed to enhance or improve exercise realism. Alternatively, constraints are exercise limitations that-may detract from exercise'realism. Constraints may be the inadvertent result of a faulty construct or may pertain to financial and staffing issues.

Although there are a number of constructs and constraints (also know as exercise artificialities) for any exercise, the EPT recognizes and accepts the following as necessary:

• Exercise communication and coordination will be limited to the participating exercise.

venues and the simulation cell (SimCell).

• Only those communication methods listed in the Communication Directory will be available for players to use during the exercise.

• Out-of-Sequence play is allowed.

Certain simulations are allowed and described in the extent of play.

ExPlan CALVEX.2011 The participating agencies may need to balance exercise play, with real-world emergencies. It is understood that real-world emergencies will take priority.

Exercise Participants The following are the categories of participants involyed in this exercise; note. that the term "participant" refers to all categories listed below, not just those playing -in the exercise:

• Players. Players are agency personnel who hive a* acivye rolein.responding to the simulated emergency and perform their regular roles and fesponsibilities during the exercise. Players initiate actions that willrespond to and mitigate the:simulated emergency... , -- , ,

• Controllers.Controllers set up and operate the exercise site; plan and manage exercise play; act in the roles of response individuals and agencies not pl ying in the exercise.

Controllers direct the pace of exercise play and routinely include members from the.

exercise planning team. They provide key data to players and may prompt or initiate, certain player actions to ensure exercise continuity.

• Simulators. Simulators are control staff persoinel'who role-play as nonparticipating organizations or individuals. They most often operate out of the SimCell, but may occasionally have face-to-face contact with players". Simulators ftinction semi-independently under the supervision of SimCell controllers, enacting roles (e.g., as media reporters or next of kin) in accordance with instructions provided in the Master Scenario Events List (MSEL). All simulators are ultimately accountable to the Exercise Director and Senior Controller.

• Evaluators. Evaluators are chosen to evaluate and provide feedback on a designated functional area of the exercise. They are chosen based on their expertise in the functional area(s) they have been assigned to review during the exercise and their familiarity with -

local emergency response procedures. Evaluators assess and document participants' performance against established emergency plans and exercise evaluation criteria, in, accordance with HSEEP standards and within the bounds of REP Program guidance and -

regulations. They are typically chosen from amongst planning committee members or the agencies/organizations that are participating in the exercise. FEMA Evaluators will not serve as Controllers.

• Actors. Actors are exercise participants who act or simulate specific roles during exercise play. They are typically volunteers who have been recruited to play the role of victims or other bystanders.

• Observers. Observers visit or view selected segments of the exercise. Obse.rvers do not play in the exercise, and do not perform any control or evaluation functions. Observers will view the exercise from a designated observation area and will be asked to'remain 71.

• within the observation area during the exercise. VIPs are a type of observer, but are frequently grouped separately. A dedicated group of exercise Controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.

• Media Personnel. Some media personnel may be present as observers pending approval by the AEMA personnel and exercise support team members. Media interaction may also be simulated by the SimCell to enhance realism and meet related exercise objectives. A dedicated group of exercise controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.

• Support Staff Exercise support staff includes individuals who are assigned administrative and logistical support tasks during the exercise (i.e. registration, catering, etc.

Exercise Tools Controller and Evaluator Handbook The CALVEX 2011 C/E Handbook is designed to help exercise Controllers and evaluators conduct and evaluate an effective exercise. This Handbook also enables Controllers and Evaluators to understand their roles and responsibilities in exercise execution and evaluation.

Should a Player, Observer, or media representative find an unattended Handbook, it should be provided to the nearest Controller or Evaluator.

Master Scenario Events List The MSEL outlines benchmarks, as well as injects that drive exercise play. It also details realistic input to the exercise players as well as information expected to emanate from simulated organizations (i.e., those nonparticipating organizations, agencies, and individuals who would usually respond to the situation). An .inject will include several items of information, such as inject time, intended recipient, responsible controller, inject type, a short description of the event, and the expected player action. The CALVEX MSEL was provided to-the FEMA evaluation team as a separate document on June 7, 2011.

Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin at approximately 0800 with an initial notification call for CCNPP going to each participating venue. Play will proceed according to the events outlined in the MSEL, in accordance with established plans and procedures. The exercise will conclude upon the completion of operations and attainment of the exercise objectives, as determined by the Lead Offsite Controller.

ExPlan CALVEX 201.1 Exercise Rules The following are the general rules that govern exercise play:?

" Real-world emergency actions take priority over exercise actions.

" Exercise participants.will comply with real-world response -procedures, unless otherwise directed by control staff.

" All communications (written, radio, telephone, etc.) made duri'ng the exercise will begin and end with the phrase, "This is an exercise.

Exercise participants placing telephone calls or initiating radio communication with the SimCell must identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with whom they wish to speak:

Safety Requirements General Exercise participant safety takes priority over'exercise events. Although the organizations involved in the CALVEX 2011 come from various response agencies, they share the basic responsibility for ensuring a safe environment for all persohmel involved in the exercise. In addition, aspects of an emergency response are dangerous. Professional health and safety ethics should guide all participants to operate in their assigned roles in the safest manner possible. The following general requirements apply to the exercise:

An exercise Safety Controller will be identified' and be responsible for participant safety.

" All exercise controllers, evaluators, and staff will serve as safety observers while the exercise activities are underway. Any safety concerns must be immediately reported to the Safety Controller..

• Participants will be responsible for their own and each other's safety during the exercise.

It is the responsibility of all persons associated with the exercise to stop play if, in their opinion, a real safety problem exists. Once the problem is corrected, exercise play can be restarted.

• All organizations will. comply with their respective environmental, health, and safety plans and procedures, as well as the appropriate Federal, State, and local environmental health and safety regulations.

Exercise Setup Exercise setup involves the pre-staging and dispersal of exercise materials; including registration materials, documentation, signage, and other equipment as appropriate.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 Accident Reporting and Real Emergencies

" Anyone observing a participant who is seriously ill or injured will first advise the nearest controller, then if possible, renders aid, provided the aid does not exceed his or her training.

" The controller who is made aware of a real emergency will initiate the broadcast "Real-World Emergency" on the controller radio network, providing the following information to the Senior Controller and Exercise Director:

o Venue/fuinction.

o Location within the venue/function o Condition o Requirements

" The SimCell will be notified as soon as possible if a real emergency occurs.

" If the nature of the emergency requires a suspension of the exercise at the venue/function, all exercise activities at that facility will immediately cease. Exercise play may resume at that ventie/ftnction once the "Real-WorldEmergency" sitiiationhas been addressed.

• Exercise play at other venue/functions should not cease if one venue/function has declared a "Real-World Emergency" unless they are reliant on the affected venue.

• If a real emergency occurs that affects the entire exercise, the exercise may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the Exercise Director and Senior Controller. The notification will be made from the SimCell.

Site Access Security Each State of local jurisdiction will control entry to the exercise venues. To prevent confusion and interruption of the exercise, access to the exercise sites and the SimCell will be limited to exercise participants only. Players should advise their venue's controller or evaluator if an unauthorized person is present. Each organization should follow its internal security procedures, augmented as necessary to comply with exercise requirements.

Observer Coordination Each organization with observers will coordinate with the respective agency or CCNPP contact for access to the exercise site. Observers will be escorted to an observation area for orientation and conduct of the exercise. All observers will be asked to remain within the designated observation area during the exercise. The Exercise Controller and/or an Observer Controller will be present to explain the exercise program and answer questions for the observers during the exercise.

Evaluators are SMEs who record events that take place during the exercise and assess/submit documentation for review and inclusion in the After Action Report (AAR). Evaluators should refrain from any direct interaction with the players during exercise play except with the facilitation of a Controller for clarification of issues or during scheduled interviews.

Player Instructions Before the Exercise

• Review the appropriate emergency plans, procedures, and exercise support documents.

• Be at the appropriate site at least 30 minutes before the start of the exercise. Wear appropriate uniform/identification badge.

• If you gain knowledge of the scenario before the exercise, notify a controller so that appropriate actions can be taken to ensure a valid evaluation.

" Read your Player Information Handout; which includes information on exercise safety.

" Please sign in.

During the Exercise

" Respond to the exercise events and information as if the emergency were real, unless otherwise directed by an exercise controller.

" Controllers will only give you information they are specifically directed to disseminate.

You are expected to obtain other necessary information through existing emergency information channels.

• Do not engage in personal conversations with controllers, evaluators, observers, or media personnel while the exercise is in progress. If you are asked an exercise-related question, give a short, concise answer. If you are busy and cannot immediately respond, indicate so, but report back with an answer at the earliest time possible.

• If you do not understand the scope of the exercise or if you are uncertain about an organization's or agency's participation in an exercise, ask a controller.

• Parts of the scenario may seem implausible. Recognize that the exercise has objectives to satisfy and may require the incorporation of unrealistic aspects. Note that every effort has been made by the trusted agents to balance realism with safety and the creation of an effective learning and evaluation environment.

• All exercise communication will begin and end with the phrase "This is an exercise."

• When communicating with the SimCell, identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with which you want to speak.

• Verbalize out loud when taking an action. This will, ensure, that. evaluators are made aware of critical actions as they occur.

• Maintain a log of your activities. Many times, this log may include documentation of activities missed by a controller or evaluator.

Following the Exercise

• At the end of the exercise at your facility, participate in the Hotwash with the controllers and evaluators.

• Complete the Participant Feedback Form. This'form allows you to commerit candidly on emergency response activities and effectiveness .ofthe exercise. Please provide the completed form to a controller or evaluator.

• Provide any notes or materials generated from the exercise to your controller or evaluator for review and inclusion in the AAR.

The EEGs selected by the EPT are contained in the evaluator materials packet along with the C/E Handbook. These EEGs have been selected because the activities they describe can be expected to be observed during the exercise and will guide evaluation to match the exercise design objectives. Supplemental REP evaluation material designed for the exercise may also be used.

Hotwash Immediately following the completion of exercise *play, Controllers will facilitate a Hotwash with Players from their assigned location. The Hotwash is an opportunityfor Players to voice their opinions on the exercise and their own performance. At this time, Evaluators can also seek clarification on certain actions and what prompted Players to take them. The Hotwash should not last more that 30 minutes. Evaluators should take notes during the Hotwash and include these observations in their analysis.

Controller and Evaluator Debriefing Controllers, Evaluators, and selected exercise participants will attend a facilitated Controller and Evaluator Debriefing on Thursday September 15, 2011, 1300 at the Sheraton Hotel in Annapolis.

During the debriefing these individuals will discuss their observations of the exercise in an open environment to clarify actions taken during the exercise.

Participants and Public/Media Briefings The Participants Briefing will be conducted on Friday September 16, 2011 at Sheraton Hotel in Annapolis. The Public/Media Briefing will be conducted on September 16, 201 tat the same location.

(NUREG-0654, 1.8., 10., 11. and Supplement 3.)

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which indicates that OROs have the capability to independently project integrated dose from exposurerates or other information and compare the estimated dose savings with the protective action guides. OROs have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation. OROs base these choices on protective action guides (PAGs) from the ORO's plans and procedures, or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g. other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, evacuation time estimates, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

EXTENT OF PLAY During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO should demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan and/or procedures, to develop protective action recommendations (PARs) for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.

When release and meteorological data are provided by the licensee, the ORO also considers these data. The ORO should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units of the PAGs to which they will be compared. PARs should be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.

(NUREG-0654, J.9,1 0.m,).

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which indicates that OROs have the capability to independently project integrated dose from exposure rates or other information and compare the estimated dose savings with the protective action guides. OROs have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation and base these choices on protective action guides (PAGs) from the ORO's plans and procedures, FRC Reports Numbers 5 and 7 or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g. other affected OROs),

availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, evacuation time estimates, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should have the capability to make both initial and subsequent PADs. They should demonstrate the capability to make initial PADs in a timely manner appropriate to the situation, based on notification from the licensee, assessment of plant status and releases, and PARs from the utility and ORO staff.

The dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. The decision-makers should demonstrate the capability to change protective actions as appropriate based on these projections.

If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under off-site plans, then the ORO should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for the general public to supplement shelter and evacuation protective actions.

(NUREG-0654, J.9., 10.cd.e.g)..

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), ifapplicable, for special, population groups (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes,.correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

EXTENT OF PLAY Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved: In these cases, examples of factors that should be considered are weather conditions, shelter availability, Evacuation Time Estimates, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of KI should be considered by the OROs.

State of Maryland Extent of Play:

All decision-making activities associated with protective actions, including consideration of available resources, for special population groups will be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency. List of any special populations will be available for review. School protective actions will be demonstrated as an out-of-sequence activity. Private schools, private kindergartens and day care centers will not participate in the exercise however, OROs will have lists of any facilities located within the jurisdiction available for review.

Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. (NUREG-0654, K.3.)

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimeters and permanent record dosimeters; provide for direct-reading dosimeters to be read at appropriate frequencies by emergency workers; maintain a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; and provide for establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimetry chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the OROs plans and procedures.

Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 replace the worker, to authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Emergency workers may use any available resources (e.g. written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader.

Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, e.g., at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimeter.

Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage, should be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

State of Maryland Extent of Play:

All activities will be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency. Dosimetry electrical leakage checks will be submitted with the ALC. Electronic dosimetry may be substituted for SRD's at some state or local jurisdictions.

While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to emergency workers and institutionalized individuals, the provision of KI to the general public is an ORO option, reflected in ORO's plans and procedures. Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and means of the distribution of radio-protective drugs.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should demonstrate the capability to make KI available to emergency workers, institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the ORO plan and/or procedures, to members of the general public. OROs should demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made.

Organizations should have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers and institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. The ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary.

For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI is not necessary. OROs should demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate appropriate instructions on the use of KI for those advised to take it. If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information should be provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures.

Emergency workers should demonstrate the basic knowledge of procedures for the use of KI whether or not the scenario drives the use of KI. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.

(NUREG-0654, H.10, 1.8., 9., 11.)

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to deploy field teams with the eq'uipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within the plume emergency planning zone to measure airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to measure radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume.

In the event of an accident at a nuclear power planit, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population ahd environment.

Although accident assessment methods are abVailable to project'the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties.

If message dissemination is to be identified as not having been accomplished in a timely manner, the evaluator(s) will document a specific delay or cause as to why a message was not considered timely.

The OROs should ensure that emergency information and instructions are consistent with protective action decisions made by appropriate officials. The emergency information should contain all necessary and applicable instructions (e.g., evacuation instructions, evacuation routes, reception center locations, what to take when evacuating, information concerning pets, shelter-in-place instructions, information concerning protective actions for schools and special populations, public inquiry telephone number, etc.) to assist the public in carrying out protective action decisions provided to them. OROs should demonstrate the capability to use language that is clear and understandable to the public within both the plume and ingestion pathway EPZs. This includes demonstration of the capability to use familiar landmarks and boundaries to describe protective action areas.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 The emergency information should be all-inclusive by including previously identified protective action areas that are still valid as well as new areas. The OROs should demonstrate the capability to ensure that emergency information that is no longer valid is rescinded and not repeated by broadcast media. In addition, the OROs should demonstrate the capability to ensure that current emergency information is repeated at pre-established intervals in accordance with the plan and/or procedures.

OROs should demonstrate the capability to develop emergency information in a non-English language when required by the plan and/or procedures.

If ingestion pathway measures arelexercised, OROs' should demonstrate that a system exists for rapid dissemination of ingestion pathway information to pre-determined individuals and businesses in accordance with the ORO's plan and/or procedures.

OROs should demonstrate the capability to provide timely, accurate, concise, and coordinated information to the news media for subsequent dissemination to the public. This would include demonstration of the capability to conduct timely and pertinent media briefings and distribute media releases as the situation warrants.

The OROs should demonstrate the capability to respond appropriately to inquiries from the news media. All information presented in media briefings and media releases should be consistent with protective action decisions and other emergency information provided to the public. Copies of pertinent emergency information (e.g.,

EAS messages and media releases) and media information kits should be available for dissemination to the media.

OROs should demonstrate that an effective system is in place for dealing with calls to the public inquiry hotline. Hotline staff should demonstrate the capability to provide or obtain accurate information for callers or refer them to an appropriate information source. Information from the hotline staff, including information that corrects false or inaccurate information when trends are noted, should be included, as appropriate, in emergency information provided to the public, media briefings, and/or media releases.

State of Maryland Extent of Play:

These activities will be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency. At least one media briefing will be conducted. Public inquiry calls will be initiated at a Site Area Emergency classification. Each location will receive at least six calls. Special News Broadcasts will be developed at appropriate centers but actual broadcast of these messages will not take place.

(NUREG-0654, J.10.h.; K.5.b.) ,

INTENT This sub-element is derived from, NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs have the capability:to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees and emergency workers, while minimizing contamination of the facility, and registration of evacuees at reception centers.

EXTENT OF PLAY Radiological monitoring, decontamination, and registration facilities for evacuees/

emergency workers should be set up and demonstrated as they would be in an actual emergency or as indicated in the extent of play agreement. This would include

• adequate space for evacuees' vehicles-. Expected demonstration should include 1/3 of the monitoring teams/portal monitors required to monitor 20% of the population allocated to the facility within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Prior to using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation.

Staff responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees should demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed-to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone (EPZ) population planning base within about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored per hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure. A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures specified in the plan and/or procedures, to allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be meet. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 Decontamination, of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview. The availability of provisions for separately showering should be demonstrated or explained. The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting.the spread of contamination. Provisions could include'floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (e.g. partitions, roped-off areas) to separate clean from potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate'contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide chahges of clothing for'ihdividualswhose clothing is contaminated, and store cohtaminated .'clothing and-personal belongings to prevent further contamination of evacuees or facilities. In addition; for any -individual four'adto be contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling of potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.

Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action-levels for determining the need for decontamination. They should, also explain the procedures for referring evacuees who cannot be adequatelydecQntaminated for assessment and, follow up in ý. `,

accordance with the ORO's plans and procedures. Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.

The capability to register-individuals upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities should be demonstrated., The registration- activities demonstrated should include the establishment of a registration record for each individual, consisting of the individual's name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontamination, if any, or as otherwise designated in the plan. Audio recorders, camcorders, or written records are all acceptable means for registration.

State of Maryland Extent of Play:

This element will be evaluated as an out-of-sequence activity. Facility set up at the Monitoring and Decontamination centers will only include.the initial monitoring location and the actual decontamination area. Barriers and floor coverings for the hallways will be available for inspection but will not be established.

ExPlan CALVEX 2011 EVALUATION AREA 6: SUPPORT OPERATION/FACILITIES Sub-element 6.c -'Temporary Care of Evacuees Criterion 6.c.1: Managers of congregate care facilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines (found in MASS CARE-Preparedness Operations,'ARC 3031). Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654, J.10.h., 12.)

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs demonstrate the capability to establish relocation centers in host areas. Congregate care is normally provided in support of OROs by the American Red Cross under existing letters of agreement.

EXTENT OF PLAY Under this criterion, demonstration of congregate care centers may be conducted out of sequence with the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 3031 In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations, as they would be in an actual emergency.

Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this criterion, exercise demonstration expectations should be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.

Congregate care staff should also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate, and have been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.

If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (e.g., cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility(ies). However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.
