SUMMARY
I. Executive Summary On June 21, 2011, an exercise was conducted in the 10-mile Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and on June 22 & 23, 2011 in the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (IPZ) around the J.A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant and was evaluated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region II. 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 FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.
The most recent full-scale federally evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on September 22, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on September 15, 1981.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in New York State and the Counties of: Oswego,Onondaga Cayuga, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Ontario, Seneca and Wayne who participated in this exercise.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.
Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
This report contains the final evaluation of the plume phase of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities: Traffic Control Points - Oswego County Sheriff and City of Oswego Police on June 21, 2011; Special Population Bus Company Interviews at Oswego County Opportunities & A+E Transport on May 5, 2011; School Bus Company Interview at Mexico School District on May 6, 2011; School Interviews at Oswego Riley Elementary, Oswego Middle School and BOCES on May 6, 2011; Medical MS-Drill (Transportation and Facility by Oswego Fire Department and Facility at Oswego Hospital on October 21, 2011.
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of 4
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan James A. FitzPatrick their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies and two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of the plume exercise. In addition, One Planning Issue was identified as a result of this exercise.
Corrective actions were demonstrated for six prior ARCAs, thus closing those issues.
II. INTRODUCTION On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.
FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees.
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 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 Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

A. Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The area within the Nine Mile Point/James A. FitzPatrick site is located on Lake Ontario and in Oswego County. Oswego County is predominantly rural in nature with approximately 75 percent of its total land acres consisting of woodland, wetlands, and inactive agricultural land.
Although active agriculture land only accounts for 16 percent of the local land acres, agriculture is the major land use in the county. The major agriculture activity in Oswego County is dairy, accounting for approximately 63 percent of the value of all farm products produced in the county. The major harvested crops are hay, alfalfa, and corn. The major livestock animals are 7
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan James A. FitzPatrick cattle and hogs.
The 10-mile EPZ contains a total population of 41,284 (2000 Population Estimates). The FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant site is located seven miles to the northeast of the city of Oswego and thirteen miles north of the city of Fulton. Aside from these two areas of population concentration, the region is sparsely populated.
The industrial activities within the 10-mile EPZ are confined principally to the metropolitan area within the city of Oswego, with little industry in the outlying communities of Scriba, Minetto, Volney and Mexico. Manufacturing firms directly account for 33 percent of the total employment of Oswego County.
The public institutions, aside from the schools and churches, within the EPZ of the site are a hospital, a college, and a jail. There are also a number of special facilities located within the 10-mile EPZ.
Continuing urban and industrial expansion of the area will increase both the population and the amount of land used for residential and commercial purposes. It is anticipated that the population in the region will increase by about 30 percent in the next twenty years, with larger increases in the urban areas.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan James A. FitzPatrick SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN
SUMMARY
2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region II Office evaluated the plume portion of the exercise on June 21, 2011 to assess the capabilities of the local emergencypreparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving James A. FitzPatick Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of this report is to represent the results of the findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations during a simulated radiological emergency.
2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise Objectives and Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be demonstrated during the exercise are discussed in the Extent-of-Play Agreement, Rev. 8 June 2, 2011 and is found in Appendix E of this report.
2.3 Scenario Summary The exercise scenario was developed to evaluate the response of the exercise participants to an incident requiring evacuation of the public from the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) surrounding the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The scenario provided for the evaluation of Oswego County Emergency Mangement Office (OCEMO), New York State Department of Health and Oswego County to make protective action decisions to evacuate a portion of the EPZ.
Initial Conditions:
Today is the 246th day of continuous service.
Plant is at approximately 96.5% power, maintainingless than 2450 MWth. Power was reducedyesterday due to a concern over the condition of the known leakingfuel and potential issues with additionalfuel. Interim guidancehas been issued to maintainpower below 2450 MWth, and to restrict cooldown to less than 10 degrees Fper hour in the event of a reactorshut down or scram. Reactor engineering is working with General Electric and GlobalNuclear Fuels to resolve the issue. Resolution is expected late tonight.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan James A. FitzPatrick Three weeks ago, the plantperformed a power reduction to performflux suppression testing when Offgas radiationlevels indicateda potentialfuel issue. Two control rods have been inserted to suppress two adjacentleakingfuel bundles. Offgas radiationlevels are slightly elevated and are being monitoredmore closely for signs offurtherfuel issues.
Over the last three weeks high vibration alarms have occurredseveral times on the "B" R WR Pump. These alarmsare sporadic and brief,lasting no more than afew seconds at a time. Troubleshootinghas been conducted and no conclusion hasyet been drawn as to the cause due to the extremely short durationof the anomalies.
"B" SBGT is inoperableand danger tagged out of servicefor preplannedmaintenance.
This is day 1 of a 2 day plannedoutragefor charcoalreplacement and other minor work activities.Removal of the old charcoal,and cleaning/preppingfor the new charcoalwill be completed by about 0800. Installationof the new charcoalis expected to be completed by 1800.

ISSUE NO.: 40-09-5b1-A-01 ISSUE: There was an instance where an EAS message and News Release were inconsistent, which could have led to confusion on the part of the public. In News Release number 6, it stated that the County Department of Health recommended that everyone in the entire 10-mile EPZ take KI. Subsequently, EAS #3 indicated that a General Emergency had been declared and the population in Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPA's): 12,13,19,20,21,22 (per the previous Protective Action Decision) along with and additional ERPA's 1,2,3,5,6,10,11 were to evacuate and ingest KI. The follow-on News Release to this EAS message was consistent with the EAS message, but neither EAS #3 or New Release #7 indicated that everyone in the EPZ was being encouraged to take KI by the County Department of Health.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: A Prior issue that found an EAS message and a news release were inconsistent, is cleared. All news releases were completely consistent with the two EAS messages. For this reason, Prior ARCA 40-09-5.b. 1.-A-01 has been resolved.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan James A. FitzPatrick CONDITION: FMT-A did not know what the RAD-60 audible alarms meant or what to do upon hearing an alarm.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: FMT Procedure 0, Attachment 1 stated that the RAD-60 had audible dose rate and dose alarms that can be set, but the procedure did not identify the settings nor provide instructions to field monitoring teams on what to do upon hearing an audible alarm from the RAD-60.
REFERENCE:
NUREG - 0654, K.3.b.
Oswego County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, Procedure P, Attachment 1, Section 3.4.1.9.
EFFECT: Without information on what the alarms mean and what to do upon hearing them, the field monitoring team could ignore the intent of the alarms to warn them.
RECOMMENDATION: Revise FMT Procedure 0, Attachment 1 to identify any audible alarms setting and what to do upon hearing an alarm. Train the FMTs to understand what the RAD-60 audible alarms mean and what to do upon hearing an alarm.
ISSUE NO.: 24-11-3bl-A-02 CRITERION: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the admin of KI for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals (not general public) is maintained. (NUREG-0654, E.7., J.10.e.f.)
CONDITION: No record of whether KI was ingested by FMT-A members. OC-EOC was unaware one member of FMT-2 did not simulate ingestion of KI.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: FMT-2 members did not record the time and date KI was taken after being instructed by the OC-EOC to take KI. FMT-2 did not notify OC-EOC that one member did not take KI.
