~'FEMA NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is one copy of the Final Report for the June 19, 2012, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Beaver Valley Power Station. The State of Ohio and Columbiana County, and the utility owner/operator, FirstEnergy Corporation, participated in this exercise.

There were no Deficiencies for any jurisdiction during this exercise. There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCAs) for the State of Ohio or Columbiana County during this exercise.

There was one previous ARCA from the April 20, 2010, Beaver Valley Exercise that was resolved for Columbiana County.

The previous issue resolved for Columbiana County was identified under ARCA # 03 5.a. l-A-03. This ARCA was corrected as a result of procedures being changed to include "Ensure that protective and precautionary actions described in the County's Protective Action Decisions (PADs) are reflected in the Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages and the Supplementary News Bulletin." This was verified by the evaluator during this exercise. The Emergency Management Director ensured that both messages were consistent. The EAS message and the Supplementary News Bulletin had the proper notification information for schools and the general public.

Additional information can be found in Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities."

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On June 19, 2012, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)'Partial Participation Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA), Region V. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of preparedness of State and local jurisdictions in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on April 20, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 28, 1984.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. The State of Ohio and Columbiana County, local mun-iicipalifies-as well as various non-government entities and volunteers all contributed to the success the the 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 on the part of all participants was evident during this exercise.

This Final After Action Report/Improvement Plan contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out of sequence activities:

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS On December 7, 1979,.the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness", 351 "Radiological Emergency Planning and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning".

These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile IslandNuclear Station accident in March 1979.

The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/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.

DHS/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:

- U.S. Department of Agriculture;

- U.S. Department of Commerce;

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region V Office evaluated the Beaver Valley Power Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise conducted on June 19, 2012, to assess the capabilities of local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures to protect the public's health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Beaver Valley Power Station. The purpose of this report is to present the results and findings on the performance of the Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise objectives and identified Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be demonstrated are discussed in Appendix D "Exercise Plan."

The Exercise Planning Team (EPT) selected objectives that focus on evaluation emergency response procedures, identifying areas for improvement, and fostering collaboration between the various OROs and stakeholders. This exercise focused on the following objectives:

" ORO demonstration of effective Emergency Operations Management;

" ORO demonstration of effective Protective Action Decision Making;

" ORO demonstration of effective Protective Action Implementation;

" ORO demonstration of effective Emergency Notification and Public Information; and

• ORO demonstration of effective Support Operations and Facilities."

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station 2.3 Scenario Summary Appendix E "Scenario Timline," contains a summary of the Exercise Scenaiio, a simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) in the Beaver Valley Power Station REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise conducted on June 19, 2012..

Results of a technical review of the scenario, submitted by the State of Ohio and FirstEnergy Corporation on February 10, 2012, indicated that the scenario was adequate to support I

demonstration of DHS/FEMA requirements, as well as criteria selected by the OROs provided by the State's February 23, 2012, extent-of-play submission. The DHS/FEMA Region V 3

accepted this exercise scenario on May 30, 2012.

During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Beaver Valley Power Station onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Ohio provided "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.

The details ofthe scena'ro are iicluded in Appendix E "Scenario Timeline,"

- Emergency Worker Monitoring and Decontamination During the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise conducted on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, the West Point Fire Department demonstrated the Target Capability of monitoring and decontamination of emergency workers at the Beaver Local School Complex Reception Center. The emergency worker and evacuee monitoring operation were setup in accordance with printed instructions and diagrams. Cones, preprinted signs, paper floor

.covering, a portal monitor, and, a hand held monitor were used during the setup.

Preoperational checks and response checks were performed correctly by a setup team. The monitoring team demonstrated correct use of instruments and the ability to determine the instruments reliably. Procedures were demonstrated for emergency workers who did not alarm at the portal monitor, i.e. non-contaminated and for those who did alarm at the portal monitor, i.e. contaminated. Non-contaminated emergency workers were sent to dosimetry control and exit interview. Contaminated emergency workers were sent for additional monitoring and decontamination. One monitoring and decontamination area (shower) was set up. A floor plan was-available for in-specti-on that included the second area.

Monitoring procedures were read and performed to assure that procedures were correctly followed. Results were recorded on Form 4, Personnel Monitoring Record.

homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed daycare centers, mobility-impaired individuals, and transportation-dependent individuals). The focus is on those groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs that are, or potentially will be, affected by a radiological release from an NPP.

Criterion 2.c.1" Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs. (NUREG-0654/FEMA -REP-1,D.4; J9; J..O.d, e)

Assessment/Extent of Play The recommendation to take KI is issued by the ODH in the SEOC Assessment Room and accompanies the PAR. Upon being briefed to and approved.by the Executive Group, it is then forwarded to Columbiana County for implementation.

Sub-element 2.d. - Radiological Assessment and Decision Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway Intent Sub-element 2.d is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the means to assess the radiological consequences for the ingestion exposure pathway, relate them to the appropriate, PAGs, and make timely, appropriate PADs to mitigate exposure from the pathway.

During an incident at an NPP, a release of radioactive material may contaminate water supplies and agricultural-products in the surrounding areas. Any such contamination would likely occur during the plume phase of the incident and, depending on the nature of the release, could impact the ingestion pathway for weeks, or years.

Criterion 2. d. 1: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective action decisions are made based on the ORO's planning criteria.

(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.1, 4; D.4; J.9,11)

Assessment/Extent of Play The State demonstrated this criterion at the June 2006 Beaver Valley exercise. It will be demonstrated again at the 2012 Perry exercise.

7. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency.

Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health 71
