~ FEMA NOV 6 / 2012 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 After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) for the July 10, 2012, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. Under separate cover, four copies of this report are being sent to the Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director for distribution to the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota with an additional copy for the state. Also under separate cover three copies are being sent to the Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator for distribution to Pierce County with an additional copy for the state. The States of Minnesota and Wisconsin, Dakota, Goodhue and Pierce Counties, and the utility owner/operator, Xcel Energy, participated in this exercise. The AAR/IP was prepared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.

There was one Deficiency identified for the State of Minnesota during this exercise. On October 9, 2012, this Deficiency was successfully re-demonstrated. There were no deficiencies identified for the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota. There were, five Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, two of the ARCAs were corrected. The State of Minnesota had three Planning Issues identified during this exercise. There was one ARCA and one Planning Issue identified for Goodhue County during this exercise. There was one ARCA identified for Dakota County during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue for Dakota County from a previous exercise, which was resolved.

The Deficiency 50-12-3d2-D-01 was identified for the State of Minnesota under Criterion 3.d.2-Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. Revised evacuation route selection was done without consideration of plume direction. It led to the re-routing of evacuating traffic into the plume instead of away from and around the plume. The lack of coordination when implementing the decision to revise evacuation routes lead to unnecessary increase in radiation exposure to the evacuating public. On October 9, 2012, this Deficiency was successfully re-demonstrated.

NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk NOV 6 / 2012 Page 2 The first ARCA 50-12-6al-A-08 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 6.a.1-The reception center has appropriate space; adequate resources and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination and registration of evacuees. The Canberra MiniSentry Transportable Gamma Portal Monitors used at the Cottage Grove Reception Center for evacuees received source checks with a 10 micro curie CS-137 source. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. This ARCA is closed.

The second ARCA 50-12-1 el-A-10 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1-The Ludlum 2241 radiation instrument with the 44-6 beta/gamma detector attached was only operationally checked on setting #1 to measure activity, but not initially operationally checked on setting #4 to measure exposure rate, nor did the RAD Field Team SOG indicate that the 44-6 detector be checked on both settings. This ARCA remains open.

The third ARCA 50-12-3al-A-1 I for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 3.a.1-OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI) and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. The turn-back value is based on exposure rate, but the SOGs instructs the field team members to set their survey instrument to measure activity. Team members had no way of knowing if they had reached an area with an exposure rate equal to or greater than the turn-back value of 100 mR/hr or greater. This ARCA remains open.

The fourth ARCA 50-12-4a3-A-12 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 4.a.3-Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Team members "estimated" a 12-minute sampling time which was not a long enough sampling time to reach the target sampling volume of 10 cubic feet. Based on the device correction factor of 1.01, the air sampling unit should have operated for 14 minutes and 8 seconds to obtain the target volume of 10 cubic feet. This ARCA remains open.

The fifth ARCA 50-12-1 el-A-13 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Canberra MCB-2 survey meters used by the State of Minnesota Radiological Accident Deployment (RAD) Field Teams for air sample filter and cartridge counting did not have the effective range of readings affixed to the meters. A source check was performed for operability but there was no acceptable range of reading available for comparison.

Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. This ARCA is closed.

The first Planning Issue 50-12-5b l-P-02 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1- Subsequent Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media. Evacuation directions for the Red Wing area in a pre-scripted news release describes traffic flow on Highway 55 heading in the east direction. Evacuation Route maps show traffic flow to the west. The general public could potentially be sent in the wrong, direction during an evacuation. This Planning Issue remains open. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 Emergency Operations Plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Minnesota.

NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk NOV 6 / 2012 Page 3 The second Planning Issue 50-12-3al-P-09 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 3.a. l-OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with plans/procedures. The Charge Nurse did not inform the Radiation Safety Responders of their turn-back value or their administrative control limit. These values are not described in the Regional Hospital Radiation Decontamination Documentation Plan.

This Planning Issue remains open. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 Emergency Operations Plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Minnesota.

The third Planning Issue 50-12-6al-P-07 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 6.a. 1-Reception Center facilities have adequate space, adequate resources and trained personnel to provide monitoring and decontamination and registration of evacuees. Decontamination personnel had simulated contaminated evacuee attempt to decontaminate a spot of contamination on their outer clothing with the use of tape and wet wipe cloth wipes. The use of the wet cloth wipes on a porous material; such as clothing could result in contamination of evacuees' skin under the clothing. This Planning Issue remains open. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 Emergency Operations Plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Minnesota.

There was one ARCA and one Planning Issue identified for Goodhue County during this exercise.

The ARCA 50-12-3al-A-05 for Goodhue County was identified under Criterion 3.a.1-OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. Permanent Record Dosimeters (PRDs), such as Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) were not issued to each of the EOC Staff. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was located inside the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). While the Radiological Officer included PRDs in the three group dosimetry kits deployed throughout the EOC, he did not issue a PRD to each EOC participant, as required by the extent-of-play agreement and current FEMA guidance. This ARCA remains open.

The Planning Issue 50-12-1 e l-P- 14 for Goodhue County was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instniments, dosimetry, potassium iodide and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. An inspection of two portal monitors revealed that the calibration label was not affixed to each portal monitor showing the date of the last calibration. The April 2012 Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Planning Manual, 11-50, "requires each portal monitor to be labeled with the date of last operational check and the date of the next calibration." Failure to post calibration information could compromise monitoring results. This Planning Issue remains open. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 Emergency Operations Plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by Goodhue County.

There was one ARCA identified for Dakota County during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue for Dakota County from a previous exercise, which was resolved.

The ARCA 50-12-3d2-A-06 for Dakota County was identified under Criterion 3.d.2-Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. Traffic evacuating Dakota County via Highway 61 was rerouted east into the EPZ. Lack of communication and coordination with other EOC agencies resulted in the incorrect evacuation route being selected. This ARCA remains open.

N1v, /eadc uarters Document Control Desk Page 4 The Planning Issue 50-10-lel -P-03 for Dakota County from a previous exercise under Criterion i.e. 1- Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Radiological Officer (RO) packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI Kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. Dakota County updated their Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) for the RO to ensure all direct-reading dosimeters have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. This planning issue is closed.

There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Wisconsin or Pierce County. The State of Wisconsin had one ARCA identified and one Planning Issue identified. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Wisconsin dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. The State of Wisconsin also had one Planning Issue from a previous exercise that remains unresolved. Pierce County had no issues identified.

The ARCA 50-12-1 e 1-A-04 for the State of Wisconsin was identified Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment maps, displays, monitoring, instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Eberline E- 120 survey meters that the Elmwood Reception Center (RC) staff used for monitoring for contaminates of evacuees and emergency workers were set up and operationally checked by the Radiological Officer and his assistant. The meters were setup using the Pierce County RC plan; however the plan calls for a check source to be used for comparing readings as indicated on the source. The meters all had check sources attached, but did not have the required check source readings on a sticker affixed to each instrument to compare the instrument readings within the +/- 20% value of the check source reading. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Wisconsin dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was~corrected. This ARCA is closed.

The Planning Issue 50-12-1 e 1-P-03 for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion i.e. I-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring, instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. According to the Wisconsin Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) (version 2.2), Volume 3, Appendix 1), Section D. 1, Sample Point F-4 was located at the intersection of County Road K and 860th Street (Trenton Road) at a distance of approximately 3.8 miles East/South East of the PINGP. There is another location where 860th Street intersects County Road K, approximately 0.8 miles Northwest of Sample Point F-4. The second location is approximately 3.2 miles from PINGP. This Planning Issue remains open. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 RIRP plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Wisconsin.

The Planning Issue 33-1 l-lel-P-05 for the State of Wisconsin from a previous exercise which was not resolved was identified under Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring, instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

Restricted Area Field Team #2 (RAFT) did not record background measurements in a clean area for either the Fluke Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter or the Ludlum Model 12 Rate meter with Model 44-9.Probe.

NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk NOV 6 / 2012 Page 5 During the interview, team members were unable to recall what the original or baseline background readings had been. There are no instructions in the Wisconsin Department of Health Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) to record baseline instrument readings. This could cause the RAFT #2 teams to find themselves in a contaminated environment with no initial readings to reference. This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 RIRP plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V by the State of Wisconsin.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of the Final Report.

Based on the results of the July 10, 2012, exercise, in addition to the successful results from the October 9, 2012, Deficiency re-demonstration, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin site-specific to the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, granted on December 8, 1981, remains in effect.

Copies of this Report were transmitted to the DHS/FEMA National Office, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Headquarters' Document Control Desk and the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On July 10, 2012, a Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Exercise evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The purpose i 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 DHS/FEMA's 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 August 24, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on December 8, 1981.

The Xcel Energy Corporation owns and operates the PINGP. The plant consists of two pressurized water reactors (Units 1 and 2); both rated at 560 megawatts (MW). The operating licenses for the facility were granted in August 1973 (Unit 1) and October 1974 (Unit 2).

Commercial operations began at the site during December 1973 (Unit 1) and December 1974 (Unit 2). The plant site consists of approximately 560 acres located in the City of Red Wing (2010 population: 16,116) on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The latitude of the site is 440 37'3" north and the longitude is 920 37'9" west. The property is level to slightly rolling. The site elevation ranges from 675 to 706 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Mississippi River flows from northeast to southwest through the 10-mile

'EPZ. The Vermillion River flows northwest to southeast. Steep bluffs surround the river, rising to more than 1,000 feet above msl about 1V2 miles northeast and southwest of the site. The following Sub-Areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: Sub-Areas 2, 5N, 5E, 5S, 5W, ION, lONE, 10E, lOSE, 1OSW, lOW and 1ONW.

The total plume pathway EPZ population is 29,241 (2003 Xcel data). The nearest large population centers are St. Paul, Minnesota (2000population 287,151), 42 miles northwest of the site; Minneapolis, Minnesota (2,642,056), 47 miles northwest of the site; Rochester, Minnesota (80,168), 41 miles south; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin (51,000), 55 miles east-northeast. Goodhue County, in which the site is locdted and the adjacent counties (Dakota in Minnesota and Pierce in Wisconsin) are predominately rural. Located within two miles of the site, however, is a Native-American-owned gambling casino, the Treasure Island Casino, which is situated on the Prairie 6I

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Island reservation, which has an average daily attendance of 23,000 persons per day. The remaining land within a 10-mile radius of the site is almost exclusively agricultural.

The DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Minnesota, the risk counties of Goodhue and Dakota participated along with State Government and the Prairie Island Indian Community. In the State of Wisconsin, the risk county of Pierce participated along with State Government.

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 the participants were 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 interviews and activities:

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant 2.3 Scenario Summary 3 Appendix E also contains a summary of the Exercise Scenario and a simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by OROs during the i Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway REP Exercise on July 10, 2012. 3 Results of a technical review of the scenario, submitted by the State of Minnesota, the State of Wisconsin and Xcel Energy on May 16, 2012, indicated that the scenario was adequate to support demonstration of DHS/FEMA requirements, as well as criteria selected by the OROs provided in the State's November 22, 2011, extent-of-play submission. The DHS/FEMA Region 3 V accepted this exercise scenario on June 28, 2012.

During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Minnesota and the State of Wisconsin 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. U 20

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant evacuation routes lead to an unnecessary increase in radiation exposure to the evacuating public.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Following the July 10, 2012 Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Exercise, the State of Minnesota successfully re-demonstrated the capability to ensure impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. The re-demonstration was conducted in response to Deficiency 50-12-3d2-D-01. The scenario and extent-of-play for the re-demonstration was based on the August 8, 2012, Schedule of Corrective Action letter from the State of Minnesota to the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V and subsequent discussions between the aforementioned agencies.

The re-demonstration was conducted during an out-of-sequence activity on October 9, 2012, from approximatley 1300 hours0.015 days 0.361 hours 0.00215 weeks 4.9465e-4 months to 1430 hours0.0166 days 0.397 hours 0.00236 weeks 5.44115e-4 months at the State of Minnesota Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), 444 Cedar Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

In accordance with the extent-of-play agreement, the re-demonstration was facilitated by a REP Planner from the Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division (HSEM). The demonstration was initiated as table top exercise and then completed as a functional exercise. The participants included the Deputy Planning Chief (DPC), Operations Chief (OC), the Planning Assessment Center (PAC), a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialist, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) and the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP).

There were two projections screens utilized to display maps and a PowerPoint presentation that was developed to present the re-demonstration scenario for the table top portion of the exercise.

All times reflected in the scenario depict exercise time, not real world time.

At 1000 hours0.0116 days 0.278 hours 0.00165 weeks 3.805e-4 months , a Site Area Emergency (SAE) Emergency Classification Level (ECL) incident was declared by the PINGP. The meteorological conditions reflected a wind speed of six miles per hour from .135 degrees.

The GIS Specialist provided hard copy evacuation route maps to the participants. She also utilized the projection screen so that all participants in the SEOC could view the maps. 3 The evacuation route map highlighted the downwind sector, Q, based on the meteorological conditions. It also highlighted the adjoining sectors, N, P, R and A and the default protective action recommendation (PAR) of Sub-Areas 2, 5N and 5W.

The DPC briefed the participants on the conditions at the PINGP. Her briefing consisted of the SAE ECL incident, current meteorological conditions and she reminded the participants to take the appropriate actions in accordance with their standard operating procedures (SOP). Furthermore, she reminded the MSP to either initiate the staffing of traffic and access control points (TACP) or to put their officers on standby and for the MnDot to ensure equipment was ready to be deployed.

The DPC with assistance from the PAC utilized the evacuation route map to inform the MSP and the MnDot of the potential evacuation area of Sub-Areas 2, 5N and 5W if the incident degraded further. She also used the PINGP evacuation time estimate (ETE) to inform the participants of the population (4,468 residents) and informed them that the estimated time to evacuate would be approximately 166 minutes. The DPC summed up her briefing by reminding participants to continue to use their SOPs and that the PAC would continue to provide assessment updates as needed.

At 1045 hours0.0121 days 0.29 hours 0.00173 weeks 3.976225e-4 months , the DPC announced that the Cottage Grove Reception Center staff were being placed on standby in the event the Reception Center was required to be opened.

At 1050 hours0.0122 days 0.292 hours 0.00174 weeks 3.99525e-4 months , the OC, the MSP and the MNDOT had a discussion regarding which evacuation routes were expected to be affected if a release of radioactive materials were to occur.

The GIS Specialist updated the electronic evacuation route map on the projection screen and she provided the MSP and the MNDOT with hard copy maps with the affected Sub-Areas and downwind center line highlighted.

The PAC indicated that radiological release was out to three miles. The OC reminded the participants to avoid any routing that would send evacuees through the plume.

The OC indicated that any evacuation route changes would need to be coordinated with the Joint Information Center (JIC), the Hotline Supervisor and the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota.

At 1145 hours0.0133 days 0.318 hours 0.00189 weeks 4.356725e-4 months , the MSP and the MNDOT were notified (via an inject message) that an accident had occurred on Minnesota Highway 50 and US Highway 52 in Dakota County resulting in the blocking of the intersection. The evacutation route was going to be blocked for three hours. Using their hard copy evacuation route map with the affected Sub-Areas and downwind center line highlighted, the MSP identified the impediment location.

After a brief discussion, the MSP identified an intersection east of the impediment to re-route evacuation traffic. The re-route sent evacuees north on Highway 61. The MSP coordinated with the DPC, OC and PAC to ensure that the route would not expose evacuees to the radiological plume. It was determined that the new route would allow evacuees to avoid the impediment, the radiological plume and to arrive at the Cottage Grove Reception Center with minimal delay.

The MSP, DPC and OC provided the updated evacuation route and impediment information to Goodhue and Dakota Counties, the JIC and the Hotline Supervisor.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant At this point, the re-demonstration was concluded.

The availability of the updated evacuation route maps with each sector, evacuation routes and the radiological plume highlighted by the GIS Specialist allowed for a more efficient response to the impediment. Furthermore, this process provided more detailed information for the participants to ascertain how to re-route traffic around an impediment, but more importantly it led to the general public not being exposed to a radiological release.

All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent-of-play agreement.

Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region.V from the State Of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, the Canberra MCB-2 survey meter has received a calibration range label. This ARCA is closed.

In summary, the status of DHS/FEMA criteria for this location is as follows:

a. MET: 1.a.1, L.d.1, L.e.1, 3.a.1, 4.a.3.

b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 1.e.1.

ISSUE NO.: 50-12-1el-A-13 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The Canberra MCB-2 survey meters used by the State of Minnesota Radiological Accident Deploymernt (RAD) Field Teams for air sample filter and cartridge counting did not have the effective range of readings affixed to the meters.

A source check was performed for operability but there was no acceptable range of readings available for comparison.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The calibration was last performed on May 4,2012 with a calibration sticker affixed to the instrument. There is no procedural requirement to compare check source readings to an acceptable range for the Canberra MCB-2 per the "Minnesota Radiological Emergency Preparedness Radiological Accident Deployment (RAD) Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) REP-I Revision 26, Section K.1, Canberra MCB-2 Contamination Detector". There was no sticker affixed to the instrument indicating an acceptable range of readings.

REFERENCE:

REP Program Manual dated April 2012 Criterion i.e. 1 - "In addition, instruments being used to measure activity must have a sticker affixed to their sides indicating the effective range of the readings. The range of readings documentation specifies the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source."

The range of readings documentation indicates the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source."

EFFECT: The Canberra MCB-2 is used to measure activity in counts per minute from field air sample filters and cartridges. Activity levels not compared to a known source could be inaccurate, leading to incorrect values for air sample results. In addition, the Canberra MCB-2 is used to monitor State RAD Field Teams for contamination possibly resulting in inaccurate activity levels on persons and equipment.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, each State of Minnesota RAD Field Team will deploy to the I field with a case that contains all of the radiological instrumentation they are issued:

the Ludlum 2241-3, the 44-6, 44-2, and 133-7 probes and the Canberra MCB-2. 3 A covered source is affixed to the side of each Ludlum 2241-3 unit for the purpose of operational checks. The MCB-2 will be checked against the same source. The Ludlum and MCB-2 have been sent in for calibration as a set and each MCB-2 is I

receiving a calibration range label to be checked against the Ludlum source.

Additionally, each set of equipment is identified by colored tape. Each Ludlum unit, 3 probe, MCB-2 and the case they live in is colored as a matched set. Thus each MCB-2 will be operationally checked against the source it was calibrated to ensuring it is 3 within range.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The Eberline E-120 survey meters that the Elmwood Reception Center (RC) staff used for monitoring for contaminates of evacuees and emergency workers were setup and operationally checked by the Radiological Officer and his assistant. The meters were setup using the Pierce County RC plan, however, the plan calls for a check source to be used for comparing readings as indicated on the source.

The meters all had check sources attached, but did not have the required check source reading on a sticker affixed to each instrument to compare the instrument readings within the +/- 20% value of the check source reading.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The State of Wisconsin provides the instruments to the RC and also is responsible for annualcalibration of the instruments. The instruments were last calibrated on 8/2011. The calibration label was affixed, but the Cs 137 check source reading label was not placed on the instrument or provided for each individual source.

REFERENCE:

REP Program Manual dated April 2012 Criterion 1.e. 1"/'In addition, instruments being used to measure activity must have a sticker-affixed to their sides indicating the effective range of the readings. The range of readings documentation specifies the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source." NUREG Criterion H. 10.c -

"Instruments being used to measure activity have accompanying documentation and/or a sticker affixed to the instrument indicating the effective range of readings.

The range of readings documentation indicates the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source."

EFFECT: The accuracy of the readings on the instruments to determine presence of contamination on the monitored personnel could have been suspect. The instrument readings were not compared to a known source and contamination above the existing background levels may have been missed. If the instrument was source verified, the activity levels shown on the meter would have been accurate for showing contamination readings greater than 100 counts per minute above background. The 75

ISSUE NO.: 50-10-3al-A-02 ISSUE: Approximately 22 firefighters were assigned to four monitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC. The four teams were the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring Team (EEWMT), the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Decontamination Team (EEWDT, the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT).

At 1920 hours0.0222 days 0.533 hours 0.00317 weeks 7.3056e-4 months , the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances. The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one 77

Unclassified 3

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant 3 Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card.

Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed.

The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forms to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours0.0226 days 0.542 hours 0.00322 weeks 7.41975e-4 months .

In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit.

The extent-of-play agreement for criterion 6.a. 1 stated that all Pierce County monitoring and decontamination workers would work under the direction of State staff and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response.. As such, and in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP),

Version.2.1, January 10, 2010, the State exposure limit is 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD.

Not only were the monitoring and decontamination workers incorrectly briefed on an exposure limit of 3 rem, and the Dosimetry Information Card issued listed the exposure limit as 3 rem, their 0-200R DRD was not capable of reading 3 Rem. The instrument can only read Roentgens.

Approaching the end of the demonstration, one worker radioed the Dosimetry Station and asked what the exposure limit was. The response given, 2 rem that can be increased to 3 rem, was incorrect.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: At 2004 hours0.0232 days 0.557 hours 0.00331 weeks 7.62522e-4 months , an interview was 78

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant SECTION 4: CONCLUSION I There was one Deficiency identified for the State of Minnesota during this exercise. On October 9, 2012, this Deficiency was successfully re-demonstrated. There were no deficiencies identified I for the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota. There were five Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions I received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, two of the ARCAs were corrected. The State of Minnesota had three Planning Issues identified during I this exercise. There was one ARCA and one Planning Issue identified for Goodhue County during this exercise. There was one ARCA identified for Dakota County during this exercise.

There was one Planning Issue for Dakota County from a previous exercise, which was resolved.

The Deficiency 50-12-3d2-D-01 was identified for the State of Minnesota under Criterion 3.d.2- 5 Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. Revised evacuation route selection was done without consideration of plume direction. It led to the re-routing of evacuating traffic into 3 the plume instead of away from and around the plume. The lack of coordination when implementing the decision to revise evacuation routes lead to unnecessary increase in radiation exposure to the evacuating public. On October 9, 2012, this Deficiency was successfully re-I demonstrated.

The first ARCA 50-12-6a 1-A-08 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 6.a. l-The reception center has appropriate space, adequate resources and trained personnel to provide I monitoring, decontamination and registration of evacuees. The Canberra MiniSentry Transportable Gamma Portal Monitors used at the Cottage Grove Reception Center for evacuees received source checks with a 10 micro curie CS-137 source. Per the Letter of Scheduled I Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. This ARCA is closed. 3 The second ARCA 50-12-1 e l-A- 10 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1-The Ludlum 2241 radiation instrument with the 44-6 beta/gamma detector attached was only operationally checked on setting #1 to measure activity, but not initially operationally checked on setting #4 to measure exposure rate, nor did the RAD Field Team SOG indicate that I the 44-6 detector be checked on both settings. This ARCA remains open.

The third ARCA 50-12-3al-A-1 1 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 3.a. 1-86 1

The turn-back value is based on exposure rate, but the SOGs instructs the field team members to set their survey instrument to measure activity. Team members had no way of knowing if they had reached an area with an exposure rate equal to or greater than the turn-back value of 100 mR/hr or greater. This ARCA remains open.

The fourth ARCA 50-12-4a3-A-12 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 4.a.3-Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Team members "estimated" a 12-minute sampling time which was not a long enough sampling time to reach the target sampling volume of 10 cubic feet. Based on the device correction factor of 1.01, the air sampling unit should have operated for 14 minutes and 8 seconds to obtain the target volume of 10 cubic feet. This ARCA remains open.

The fifth ARCA 50-12-1 e l-A- 13 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 1.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Canberra MCB-2 survey meters used by the State of Minnesota Radiological Accident Deployment (RAD) Field Teams for air sample filter and cartridge counting did not have the effective range of readings affixed to the meters. A source check was performed for operability but there was no acceptable range of reading available for comparison. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Minnesota dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. This ARCA is closed.

The first Planning Issue 50-12-5b l-P-02 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. I- Subsequent Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media. Evacuation directions for the Red Wing area in a pre-scripted news release describes traffic flow on Highway 55 heading in the east direction. Evacuation Route maps show traffic flow to the west. The general public could potentially be sent in the wrong direction during an evacuation. This Planning Issue remains open.

The Planning Issue 50-10-1 el-P-03 for Dakota County from a previous exercise under Criterion 1.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Radiological Officer (RO) packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI Kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. Dakota County updated their Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) for the RO to ensure all direct-reading dosimeters have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. This planning issue is closed.

There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Wisconsin or Pierce County. The State of Wisconsin had one ARCA identified and one Planning Issue identified. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions received by DHS/FEMA Region V from the State of Wisconsin dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. The State of Wisconsin also had one Planning Issue from a previous exercise that remains unresolved. Pierce County had no issues identified.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant The ARCA 50-12-lel-A-04 for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 1.e.1- i Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring, instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. The Eberline E- 120 survey meters that the Elmwood 3 Reception Center (RC) staff used for monitoring for contaminates of evacuees and emergency workers were set up and operationally checked by the Radiological Officer and his assistant. The meters were setup using the Pierce County RC plan; however the plan calls for a check source to be used for comparing readings as indicated on the source. The meters all had check sources attached, but did not have the required check source readings on a sticker affixed to each I instrument to compare the instrument readings within the -P/- 20% value of the check source reading. Per the Letter of Scheduled Corrective Actions.received by DHS/FEMA Region V from i the State of Wisconsin dated October 12, 2012, the ARCA was corrected. This ARCA is closed.

The Planning Issue 50-12-1 e l-P-03 for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 3 i.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring, instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. According to the Wisconsin Radiological Incident I Response Plan (RIRP) (version 2.2), Volume 3, Appendix D, Section D. 1, Sample Point F-4 was located at the intersection of County Road K and 860th Street (Trenton Road) at a distance of i approximately 3.8 miles East/South East of the PINGP. There is another location where 860th Street intersects County Road K, approximately 0.8 miles Northwest of Sample Point F-4. The second location is approximately 3.2 miles from PINGP. This Planning Issue remains open.

This Planning Issue will be addressed in the 2013 RIRP plan submittal to DHS/FEMA Region V i by the State of Wisconsin.

U The Planning Issue 33-11-1 e 1-P-05 for the State of Wisconsin from a previous exercise which was not resolved was identified under Criterion i.e. 1-Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring, i instruments, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

Restricted Area Field Team #2 (RAFT) did not record background measurements in a clean area for either the Fluke Victoreen 451 B Ion Chamber Survey Meter or the Ludlum Model 12 Ratemeter with Model 44-9 Probe. During the interview, team members were unable to recall what the original or baseline background readings had been. There are no instructions in the i Wisconsin Department of Health Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) to record baseline instrument readings. This could cause the RAFT #2 teams to find themselves in a contaminated environment with no initial readings to reference.

PREVIOUS EXERCISE FINDINGS AND PLANNING ISSUES State of Minnesota During the previous exercise in 2010, the State of Minnesota received a planning issue under criterion 1.e.1 - Equipment, maps displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI) and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operation whereby the Emergency Medical Crew were provided a 0-200mR direct-reading dosimeter (DRD). This DRD was not able to read turn-back values of 1R or total exposure limits of 3R in accordance with current plans and procedures.

This Planning issue was addressed by modifying the Minnesota Emergency Worker Exposure Log "Green Cards" with the statement, "Ifyour DRD is reading any exposure to radiation and you are outside of the 10-mile EPZ, report to your supervisor or Radiological Officer." This change has been reviewed and approved by FEMA.

Dakota County Dakota County received one planning issue during the previous exercise in 2010. The Planning Issue was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion 1.e.1 - Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Radiological Officer (RO) had 26 DRDs, 13 of which were expired requiring recertification in 2008. There were also three DRDs that had stickers marked "failed" on them. The inventory of DRDs was not checked by the RO upon delivery and prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.

The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance.

State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. The EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e., evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC, The following is a summary of the PAD and EAS process:

1. The Planning and Assessment Center (PAC) receives a recommendation from the utility.

2. The PAC makes an independent assessment of the data and develops its recommendation.

3. The EAS Message and corresponding Special News Bulletins are selected by the Planning Chief and communicated to the Operations Chief.

4. The Operations Chief gets concurrence on the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) from the Minnesota risk counties.

5. The PAR is communicated to the Minnesota State Incident Manager (SIM)

6. The SIM gets concurrence from the State of Wisconsin Officer in Charge (OIC).

7. The PAR is communicated to the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) where once approved, it becomes a Protective Action Decision (PAD).

125

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

8. The time that the sirens are sounded and the time the EAS is activated is determined by the SIM I after the PAD has been approved by the Minnesota GAR.

9. Special News Bulletins are sent out.

10. Media Briefings occur.

11. The SIM notifies the Wisconsin Officer in Charge of the siren sounding time and the time after the sirens sound that the EAS message will be transmitted. The Wisconsin OIC is ultimately responsible for relaying this message and any subsequent messages to Pierce County.

12. A copy of the approved PAD goes to the Operations Chief to coordinate these times with Dakota and Goodhue counties via a conference call - the EAS message is the State's responsibility.

I

13. The sirens are sounded (county responsibility - simulated).

14. The EAS message is transmitted (simulated). I The Wisconsin Officer in Charge is responsible for all communications with Pierce County. The State of Minnesota has no direct communication with Pierce County.

Note: The first PAD is pre-approvedand the SIM is authorized to give an approval. i An EAS transmitter (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encoder/decoder, which is automatically monitored by encoders/decoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather I

alert radios utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The EAS message will contain the following basic information regarding the event:

Identification of the ORO responsible and the official with authority for providing the alert signal

and instructional message;

Identification of the commercial NPP and a statement that an emergency exists there;

Reference to REP-specific emergency information (e.g., brochures, calendars, etc.) for use by I the general public during an emergency; and

A closing statement asking that the affected and potentially affected population stay tuned for additional information, or that the population tune to another station for additional information.

The method used to broadcast the message will be fully demonstrated as it would in an actual emergency up to the point of transmission. In an out-of-sequence demonstration, evaluators will observe the processes used by WCCO and MPR to include the following:

Observe whether the EAS stations demonstrate the method of broadcast up to the point of I

transmission,

Note whether the station verifies, if required, that message was from offsite response organization (ORO) and that the message is correct,

Note time of all messages,

Note if station was kept updated during exercise,

Interview to verify 24-hr capability,

Verify emergency backup power I

Additional information will be disseminated through the JIC using special news bulletins and media releases.

3 Scenario I An individual evacuating from the Prairie Island 10-mile EPZ comes to the general public reception center. This patient had been fishing near the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant when the sirens were sounding. He walked through some tall grass and sand near the fence boundary without 3

being spotted by any field team members or responders. The patient left after seeing field team members in suits near where he had been. He then [

proceeded to the general public reception center to get checked out. Upon, arriving, his vehicle was flagged as contaminated. As he exited his vehicle, the sand on his shoes caused him to fall, injuring his left upper arm. In addition, the victim has abrasions to the left elbow and hand. The patient is confused and experiencing pain to his left upper arm (the level of pain is about 8 out of 10 with 10 being the highest). The person has contamination on the arms, lower legs, feet, and clothing from his proximity to the Nuclear Generating plant during the General Emergency.

"*Any real emergency takes precedence over scenario play. Inform lead controller of any event that comes up during play. Scenario play will be stopped until the real emergency has been taken care of**

Additional: Open injuries require antibiotics and consultation. If consultation/transfer is immediately called for, controller will inject 3
