After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On October 23, 2012, a full-scale plume exercise for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) was evaluated bythe Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III. Out-of-Sequence demonstrations were conducted on October 23 and October 24, 2012. 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 Response Plans (RERP) and Procedures to protect the property and lives of residents and transients in the event of an emergency at SSES.

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

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 on October 5, 2010.

There were no Deficiencies during this exercise. Six (6) Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) were identified; one (1) ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise, three (3) ARCAS were, successfully Re-demonstrated on December 11, 2012 and two (2)

ARCAs were successfully re-demonstrated on January 4, 2013. Three (3) Planning Issues (PI) were identified as a result of this exercise. One (1) ARCA from a previous exercise was successfully re-demonstrated and resolved.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of many individuals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Columbia County and Luzerne County (risk counties) and the seven (7) support counties: Lackawanna, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Union and Wyoming.

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 the exercise.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design 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:

- U.S. Department of Commerce,

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

- U.S. Department of Energy,

- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 15

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

- U.S. Department of Transportation,

- U.S. Department of Agriculture,

- U.S. Department of the Interior, and

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the Region III Regional Assistance Committee (RAG), which is chaired by FEMA.

A Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted on October 23, 2012, to assess the capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency. The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region III RAC Chairperson and approved by FEMA Headquarters. These reports are provided to the NRC and participating States. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency response capabilities.

The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in the following:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual," April 2012; Section 1 of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview", presents the "Exercise Planning Team Leadership" and the "Participating Organizations".

Emergency Planning Zone Description The SSES is located in northeastern Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River, in Salem Township, Luzerne County. The plant is owned and operated by Pennsylvania Power & Light 17

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Company. Two boiling water reactors generate an electrical output of 1,194 megawatts each.

Unit 1 began commercial operation on June 8, 1983, and Unit 2 on February 12, 1985.

The site encompasses 2,566 acres and is divided into two parts. The principal portion, containing the major operating equipment and buildings, is located 3,000 feet west of the river. The other portion houses the water intake apparatus located near U.S. Route 11. Route 11 passes through the site in a north/south direction, providing both primary and secondary access to the plant. The plant occupies approximately 100 acres of the site. The coordinates are approximately 410 5'30" north and 76' 8'55" west.

The topography of the plant site is hilly, with elevations ranging from 500 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at the river to about 1,100 feet above MSL at the northwest comer of the site. The plant grade is 670 feet above MSL. The minimum exclusion distance is 1,800 feet; all land within the exclusion area is owned by SSES. The surface soil in the area is considered to be glacial outwash and glacial till soils, which are typical of uplands and terraces. The bedrock consists primarily of red shale of the catskill formation.

The immediate vicinity of the plant is rural, surrounded by farms and undeveloped land. A total of 112 sirens are used for notification of the public; the sirens were installed for coverage of the plume exposure pathway. According to 2010 census data, the nearest population center is Shickshinny Borough (Luzeme County), with a population of 838, located about four miles north of the plant. The nearest population center with more than 25,000 people is the City of Hazleton, with a population of 25,340, located 13 miles to the southeast.

The Berwick Airfield in Salem Township, Luzerne County, serves private aircraft and lies approximately five miles west of the plant. The airfield presents no risk to the plant. The closest major airport is the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport, located 28 miles northeast of the site.

The 10-mile EPZ contains an estimated population of 71,301, according to 2010 census data.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities The objective of the SSES 2012 Plume Exercise is 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 the citizens residing within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

Emergency management agencies use a variety of resources, including radios, telephones, the Internet, the media, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and the utility Alert and Notification System (ANS) sirens to demonstrate the ability to communicate among multiple levels of government and provide timely, accurate, and sufficiently detailed information to the public.

The EAS and ANS were 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 from the EPZ. The ability of the support counties to mobilize personnel and resources to establish reception, monitoring and decontamination, and mass care centers was demonstrated.

The protection of school 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 All information below is scenario simulated. Due to maintenance requirements at Susquehanna Steam Electric Station the utility operations simulator was not employed for this exercise. A utility control cell provided exercise data to players to simulate emergency conditions requiring off-site response.

There are two nuclear units at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). Both are Boiling Water Reactors, MARK 2 design. SSES Unit 1 will be participating in the exercise.

19

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station On October 23, 2012, SSES Units 1 and 2 are operating at 100 percent power. The pre-existing equipment conditions at Unit 1 are that one of the two trains of the standby gas treatment system is out of service, the liquid radiation waste monitor is not operable and the leakage of reactor coolant into the drywell is elevated.

The weather is clear with light winds at about 4 miles per hour (mph) from 287 degrees, i.e.,

from the West (W) into the East (E). The stability class is varying between E and F. These conditions are expected to remain unchanged into the night.

At 1700, the exercise begins in the Exercise Control Cell. At approximately 1749, an Alert Emergency Classification Level will be declared based on Emergency Action Level (EAL)

RA. 1, liquid release greater than 200 times technical specification requirements (TRM). Earlier, at 1729, the operators recognized that a planned discharge of liquid radioactive waste to the Susquehanna River was from the wrong tank. It is expected that the State BRP will determine that a protective action should be recommended to the city of Danville to shut down the drinking water supply. Unit 1 continues to operate at 100 percent power.

At 1850, there are indications from the radiation monitoring system that there are two ongoing airborne radioactive releases to the environment, one from the Turbine Building Vent and the other from the Reactor Building Vent. Both pathways are filtered and monitored. The cause of the radiological release is a loss of reactor coolant accident into the drywell (primary containment structure) and a failure to completely close the vents and valves in the reactor containment system at two different locations in the plant. Also,.the automatic signal to shut down the reactor failed to insert all the control rods and the reactor remains at greater than 5 percent power. Operators initiate manual actions to shut the reactor down. The drywell pressure and temperature will continue to rise.

At approximately 1900, a Site Area Emergency is declared based on EAL MS-3, "Anticipated transient without scram and reactor power greater than 5 percent". At this time there is a loss of both the reactor coolant system barrier and the reactor containment barrier. Radiation monitors in the plant are elevated, indicating that there is a small amount of damage to the fuel clad barrier. The wind direction is 281 degrees, the wind speed is 3.3 mph and the stability class is E.

At 2015, the drywell temperature continues to rise (350 degrees) as the drywell sprays and suppression pool cooling are inoperable. In order to reduce the leakage of reactor coolant into 20 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station the drywell, the Plant Operators begin to rapidly depressurize the reactor system and this leads to further damage to the fuel clad and an increase in the radiological release. At approximately 2020, a General Emergency is declared based on EAL MG-3, "Heat Capacity Temperature Limit curve is exceeded". Also, concurrently the drywell radiation monitor reading is approaching 3000 R/hr, the limit for declaring the loss of the fuel clad barrier. A Protective Action Recommendation is issued by SSES to "Evacuate the 0-2 miles 3600 area; shelter in the 2 to 10 mile 3600 area" It is expected that the State of PA and the Counties will evacuate the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone and issue potassium iodide to the public and emergency workers.

Subsequent dose projections by SSES will indicate that the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAG) are exceeded in the 0 to 1 mile distance from the SSES. Hence, SSES will determine that a PAR based on radiological conditions is not necessary. Radioactive releases will continue beyond the end of the exercise. The wind direction remains at 289 degrees and the wind speed is 4 mph with stability class F. The plume footprint is entirely within Luzerne County. Field monitoring team results will identify that the amount of radioiodine present in the release is smaller than the dose projections.

At 2130, the SSES Evaluated Exercise will end if all objectives are met and when announced by the PA State EOC.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan SusquehannaSteam Electric Station SECTION 3: ANALYSIS OF CAPABILITIES 3.1 Exercise Evaluation and Results The matrix in Table 3. 1, on the following pages, presents the status of the exercise evaluation area criteria from the REP Exercise Evaluation Methodology that were scheduled for demonstration during this exercise by all participating jurisdictions and functional entities.

Exercise evaluation area criteria are listed by number and the demonstration status of the criteria is indicated by the use of the following letters:

(D) Deficiency: an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant.

(A) Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA): an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety.

(P) Plan Issue: an observed or identified inadequacy in the ORO's emergency plan or implementing procedures, rather than in the ORO's performance. Plan Issues are not exercise issues and are required to be corrected through the revision of the appropriate plans or procedures during the next annual plan review and update, submitted for FEMA review, and reported in the State Annual Letter of Certification.

(N) Not Demonstrated: term applied to the status of a REP exercise Evaluation Area Criterion indicating that the ORO, for a justifiable reason, did not demonstrate the Evaluation Area Criterion, as required in the extent-of-play agreement or at the 2 year/8 year exercise cycle required in the FEMA REP Program Manual.

(M) Met: status of a REP exercise Evaluation Area Criterion indicating that the participating ORO demonstrated all demonstration criteria for the Evaluation Area Criterion to the level required in the extent of-of-play agreement with no Deficiencies or ARCAs assessed in the current exercise and no unresolved prior ARCAs.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 3.2 Summary Results of Exercise Evaluation Contained in this section are the results and findings of the evaluation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania jurisdictions and locations that participated in the October 23, 2012, biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise and the October 23-24, 2012 out of sequence evaluations. The exercise was held to test the offsite emergency response capabilities of local governments in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) surrounding the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES).

Each jurisdiction and functional entity was evaluated on the basis of its demonstration of the Exercise Evaluation Area Criteria contained in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual (REPMAN). Detailed information on the Exercise Evaluation Area criteria and the Explan/Extent-of-Play agreement used in this exercise are found in Appendix E: Exercise Plan, of this report.

Note: The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania Joint Information Center/Rumor Control, and Pennsylvania Accident Assessment Center participated in this exercise to provide direction and control as well as emergency public information; however, the Exercise Evaluation Criteria relevant to these activities were evaluated at a previous exercise, therefore, "Not Observed" is assigned to these locations for this exercise.

All activities were based on the plans and procedures and completed as they would have been in an actual emergency except as noted in the Explan/Extent-of-Play agreement.

ISSUE NO.: 63-12-3al-A-01 CRITERION: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. Appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers is maintained.

CONDITION: Field Monitoring Team A (FMT A) members were not cognizant of KI usage.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The FMT A was not briefed or trained on KI use including:

dosages, precautions, limitations, and potential side effectsI, 33

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.e EFFECT: Without appropriate training, individuals may take KI when it would not be medically advisable to do so. Additionally, if a FMT member chooses to not take KI voluntarily, the Field Team Coordinator may have to replace the individual.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On December 11, 2012 the members of FMT A, and the Field Team Coordinator were asked questions regarding the use of KI. This included dosages for adults, potential adverse effects, who should and should not take KI and the purpose of taking KI. All members of the team correctly responded to the questions. The Field Team Coordinator briefing has been modified to include more detailed information on the use of KI by the Field Team members.

The Field Team members stated they knew to advise the Field Team Coordinator if they were unable, or unwilling, to take KI prior to the team being assembled so the Field Team Coordinator could replace those individuals.

ISSUE NO.: 63-12-4a3-A-02 CRITERION: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low-background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media.

CONDITION: Field Monitoring Team A (FMT A) members were not able to demonstrate how they would use their Ludlum 2221, with 44-9 pancake Geiger-Muller (GM) detector, to conduct monitoring for contamination on equipment, supplies and themselves.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The FMT A had not been trained on how to use the 44-9 pancake GM detector to monitor surfaces for contamination.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, 1.8 34

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station EFFECT: If equipment is not surveyed, they could cross-contaminate future air samples.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On December 11, 2012, the members of Field Team A correctly demonstrated the use of the 44-9 probe with the Ludlum 2221 instrument correctly being operationally checked, to include source check and then for the monitoring of their equipment and themselves for contamination. The demonstrators simulated that the air sampling head was contaminated. The Field Team correctly demonstrated decontamination to below limits for this equipment in accordance with plans and procedures. In addition, they demonstrated one team member monitoring another team member for contamination using the correct limits for personnel.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Vehicle monitoring was correctly re-demonstrated on December 11, 2012, in accordance with plans and procedures. Two personnel were present for the demonstration. One individual acted as supervisor and note taker and directed the activities of the monitoring person by using a checklist. The monitoring person physically examined a vehcile using a Ludlum 2241-2 radiation meter with Ludlum 44-9 probe attached. The instrument used was correctly operationally checked, to include the source check, and was within it's calibration period. Protective covering for the probe and gloves for the operator were simulated.

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

ISSUE NO.: 63-12-lel-A-05 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The Wyoming County reception center, temporarily relocated to the Tunkhannock Middle School, was not set up to control arriving traffic, or to facilitate exterior operations in time of darkness.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Tunkhannock High School is the primary reception center location and was unavailable, so the adjacent middle school was used for the demonstration. The team that normally conducts monitoring/decontamination operations did not employ all equipment necessary to support operations.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.4; J.10.h; J.12 EFFECT: Without appropriate traffic control patterns in effect, the staff will be unable to control the flow of vehicles, or to minimize the potential spread of contamination. Without appropriate lighting, monitoring of vehicles may be incomplete or improperly done.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On January 4,2013, Wyoming County Emergency Management successfully re-demonstrated Reception procedures.

The Emergency Management Coordinator provided aerial photographs of the Tunkhannock Middle School and High School properties. These photos were marked to show the placement of traffic control points, barriers, cones, and signs to appropriately direct evacuees to designated parking areas and subsequently to the Monitoring and Decontamination Center. The equipment for the Reception Center is maintained in a trailer and staged at the WCEOC parking lot. The WC EMC 64 0

ISSUE NO.: 63-12-6al-A-06 CRITERION: The reception center facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees.

CONDITION: During monitoring, the probe brushed against the person being monitored..

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Inadequate training and/or procedure review.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.4; J.10.h; J.12 EFFECT: Possible inaccurate readings and inadvertent spread of contamination.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On January 4,2013, Wyoming County Emergency Management successfully re-demonstrated evacuee monitoring.

One volunteer demonstrated use of the radiation detection meter, while another acted as subject. The meter used was a Ludlum 2211-3 GM detector with a 44-9 Gamma probe attached and covered with a thin plastic bag for contamination protection. The equipment was within the calibration period. The monitor performed an operation 65

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The is a full-scale exercise (FSE) designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to Nuclear Power Plant incidents. 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 PEMA and FEMA with the input, advice, and assistance of the EPT. The 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise is evidence of the growing partnership between State and local jurisdictions for response to the threats our Nation and communities face.

Confidentiality The 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise is an unclassified exercise. 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.

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 directives.

Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), PEMA, 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 the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (April 2012) to develop this exercise.

The objective of FEMA and PEMA is to demonstrate reasonable assurance that the public can be protected during a nuclear power plant emergency.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 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 assessment 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). This 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.

The capabilities listed below have been selected by the EPT planning team from the priority capabilities identified in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 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.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station CHAPTER 2: EXERCISE LOGISTICS Exercise Summary General The 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise is designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise their plans and procedures for responding to an incident at a Nuclear Power Plant. The 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise will be conducted during the evening of October 23 rd. Exercise play is scheduled to conclude once evaluators determine that the exercise objectives have been met at each venue. Select portions of the exercise will occur out-of-sequence on the morning of October 2 3rd and during the evening of October 24 th. For a full schedule of all exercise events, please reference Appendix A: Exercise Schedule.

Assumptions 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 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise

" 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 known 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.

90 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

• Certain simulations are allowed.

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 involved 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 have an active role in responding to the simulated emergency and perform their regular roles and responsibilities during the exercise. Players initiate actions that will respond 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 playing 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 or initiate certain player actions to ensure exercise continuity.

" Simulators. Simulators are control staff personnel 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 function 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/or the 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. Observers 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 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.

91

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

" Media Personnel. Some media personnel may be present as observers pending approval by the appropriate EMA 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 Handbook The 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise Controller Handbook is designed to help exercise Controllers conduct and evaluate an effective exercise. This Handbook also enables Controllers 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. The Controller Handbook will be limited to the PEMA Lead Controller.

Master Scenario Events List The MSEL outlines benchmarks that will occur during the exercise. Injects will not be included in the MSEL for the Plume portion of the 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise because all injects will be driven by events that occur in the Simulator onsite at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station.

Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin in the afternoon of October 23rd with a situation update 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 FEMA evaluators.

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 during the exercise will begin and end with the phrase, "This is an exercise."

" All observers of the exercise will not participate or provide input into exercise play.

92 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 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 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise come from various response agencies, they share the basic responsibility for ensuring a safe environment for all personnel 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:

" 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 Lead 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.

Accident Reporting and Real Emergencies Anyone observing a participant who is seriously ill or injured will first advise the nearest controller, then if possible, render 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/function o Location within the venue/function o Condition o Requirements 93

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station

" 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 venue/function once the "Real-World Emergency" situation has 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 Observer Coordination Each organization with observers will coordinate with PEMA, FEMA, the utility, and the facility owner for access to the exercise site (s). 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. PEMA and/or utility representatives will be present to explain the exercise program and answer questions for the observers during the exercise.

Exercise Identification Identification badges may be issued to exercise staff. All exercise personnel and observers will be identified by badges distributed by the staff from each participating agency.

Communications Plan Exercise Start, Suspension, and Termination Instructions The exercise is scheduled to run until the FEMA evaluators determine that the exercise objectives have been met. FEMA evaluators will work with PEMA through the State Emergency Operations Center to disseminate termination instructions to exercise participants.

Player Communication Players will use routine, in-place agency communication systems. Additional communication assets may be made available as the exercise progresses. The need to maintain capability for a real-world response may preclude the use of certain communication channels or systems that would usually be available for an actual emergency incident. In no instance will exercise communication interfere with real-world emergency communications. Each venue will coordinate its own internal communication networks and channels.

94 01

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station The primary means of communication among the SimCell, Controllers, and the venues will be telephone. A list of key telephone and fax numbers, and radio call signs will be available as a Communication Directory before the start of the exercise.

Player Briefing Controllers/Evaluators may be required to read specific scenario details to the participants to begin exercise play. They may also have technical handouts or other materials to give to players in order to better orient them to the exercise environment.

Public Affairs This exercise enables Players to demonstrate an increased readiness to deal with a nuclear power plant incident. Any nuclear power plant exercise may be a newsworthy event. Special attention must be given to the needs of the media, allowing them to get as complete and accurate a story as possible while ensuring their activities do not compromise the exercise realism, safety, or objectives.

FEMA, PEMA, and the utility are responsible for disseminating public information in advance of the exercise.

• 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."

This is a precaution taken so anyone overhearing the conversation will not mistake the exercise play for a real-world emergency.

• 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.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station CHAPTER 4: EVALUATION AND POST-EXERCISE ACTIVITIES Exercise Documentation The goal of the 2012 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station REP Exercise is to comprehensively exercise and evaluate the OROs' plans and capabilities as they pertain to a potential nuclear power plant incident. After the exercise, data collected by Controllers, Evaluators, the SimCell, and Players will be used to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the context of the exercise design objectives.

Exercise Evaluation Guides DHS has developed Exercise Evaluation Guides (EEGs) that identify expected activities for evaluation, provide consistency across exercises, and link individual tasks to disciplines and expected outcomes.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region III has decided not to use EEG's as part of Exercise Documentation process.

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

Hotwash Prior to the Participants and Public /Media Briefing, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will facilitate a Hotwash with the State, Risk and Support Counties, local jurisdictions and agencies participating in the exercise. The Hotwash is an opportunity for evaluators and participants to voice preliminary performance concerns, demonstrated strengths, and thank those who played. At this time, Evaluators can also seek clarification on certain actions and what prompted Players to take them. Evaluators should take notes during the Hotwash and include these observations in their analysis, if necessary. The Hotwash will occur at the East Mountain Business Center located in Wilkes-Barre, PA on October 2 5th at 03:00 p.m.

Evaluator Debriefing Evaluators, and selected exercise participants will attend a facilitated Controller and Evaluator Debriefing. The date, time, and location will be determined at a later date. During the debriefing these individuals will discuss their observations of the exercise in an open environment to clarify actions taken during the exercise.

Issue Number: 63-10-3.a.1-A-01 Condition: Emergency workers at the South Centre Township EOC and South Centre Township Traffic and Access Control Points did not read their dosimetry every 30 minutes or record exposure information during the exercise.

Possible Cause: The Radiological Officer (RO) did not request 30 minute reading or record them.

References:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.3.b South Centre Township Radiological Response Plan Effect: Emergency workers in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone could have been exposed to excessive radiation.

Corrective Action

Description:

After discussion with county and utility leaders and after careful consideration concerning the matter, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania believes that the root cause of the matter rests either in a failure of education of the Radiological Officers and field personnel or a failure of the Radiological Officers and field personnel to follow the procedures given. The first priority would be to strengthen training to emphasis the need to do 30 minute dosimetry readings once the equipment is issued. Secondary priority would be a training emphasis for the EOC Radiological Officer to be more cognizant of the need for 30 minute dosimetry checks and to consider methods they could utilize to remind personnel at the appropriate times such as the use of timers/alarms.

12.

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 and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment corrected.

Re-demonstrations During the out of sequence demonstrations on October 23 and October 24, 2012, or the plume phase demonstrations on October 23, 2012, any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the exercise, provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise. Refresher training may be provided by the players, observers, and/or controllers. Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. Re-demonstrations will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluators. PEMA may advise the RAC Chair prior to initiating any re-demonstrations. It is permissible to extend the demonstration window, within reason, to accommodate the re-demonstration. Activities corrected from a re-demonstration will be so noted.

Criterion I.d.l: At least two communication systems are available, at least one operates properly, and communication links are established and maintained with appropriate locations.

Communications capabilities are managed in support of emergency operations. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, F.1, 2)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion is accomplished initially in a baseline evaluation and subsequently in periodic testing and drills. System familiarity and use must be demonstrated as applicable in full scale, functional and tabletop exercises, or if their use would be required, during an actual event.

OROs must demonstrate that a primary system, and at least one backup system for fixed facilities, is fully functional at all times. Communications systems are maintained and tested on a recurring basis throughout the assessment period and system status is available to all operators.

Periodic test results and corrective actions are maintained on a real time basis. If a communications system or systems are not functional, but exercise performance is not affected, no exercise issue will be assessed.

Communications equipment and procedures for facilities and field units are used as needed for transmission and receipt of exercise messages. All facilities, FMTs, and incident command must have the capability to access at least one communication system that is independent of the commercial telephone system. Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to manage the communication systems and ensure that all message traffic is handled without delays that might disrupt emergency operations. OROs must ensure that a coordinated communication link for fixed and mobile medical support facilities exists. Exercise scenarios may require the failure of a communication system and use of an alternate system, as negotiated in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: The plant will communicate to the risk counties and State EOC utilizing the Automatic Ring Down System (ARD) (Primary) and telephone/internet (Secondary). Risk and Support Counties will intercommunicate with the State EOC via Telephone (Primary), SE VAN 121

In the event that the plant is unable to contact the state EOC then Luzerne County EOC will be contacted and fulfill the role ofprimary contact until such time as communications with the State EOC can be made.

Risk Counties will communicate with their risk municipalities via public safety radio frequencies (EMA Radio) (Primary), Commercial Telephone (Secondary), Internet, Fax, Amateur Radio Communications (ARES/RACES) or other available means.

Sub-element i.e - Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.

Criterion 1.e. 1: Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI) and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, H. 7, 10;.7, 8, 9; J.1M.a, b, e; J.11, 12; K.3.a; K.5.b)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion is accomplished primarily through a baseline evaluation and subsequent periodic inspections.

A particular facility's equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with that facility's assigned role in the ORO's emergency operations plans. Use of maps and other displays is encouraged. For non-facility-based operations, the equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with the assigned operational role. At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g., vehicles, barriers, traffic cones, and signs) must be available, or their availability described.

Specific equipment and supplies that must be demonstrated under this criterion include KI inventories, dosimetry, and monitoring equipment, as follows:

KI: Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by: (1) emergency workers; (2) institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and (3) where stipulated by the plans/procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make KI available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures). The plans/procedures must include the forms to be used for documenting emergency worker ingestion of KI, as well as a mechanism for identifying emergency workers that have declined KI in advance. Consider carefully the placement of emergency workers that have declined KI in advance.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station ORO quantities of dosimetry and KI available and storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at the storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the ALC submission, and/or verified during an SAV.

Available supplies of KI must be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the ORO may produce a letter from a certified private or state laboratory indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia standards.

Dosimetry: Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers must be available for issuance to all emergency workers who will be dispatched to perform an ORO mission. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make dosimetry available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups as identified in plans/procedures).

Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry must allow an individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the ORO's plans/procedures.

Direct-reading dosimeters must be zeroed or operationally checked prior to issuance. The dosimeters must be inspected for Electric leakage at least annually and replaced when necessary.

Civil Defense Victoreen Model 138s (CD V-138s) (0-200 mR), due to their documented history of Electric leakage problems, must be inspected for Electric leakage at least quarterly and replaced when necessary. This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.

Operational checks and testing of electronic dosimeters must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.

Monitoring Instruments: All instruments must be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. Instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Unmodified CDV-700 series instruments and other instruments without a manufacturer's recommendation must be calibrated annually. Modified CDV-700 instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer. A label indicating such calibration must be on each instrument or calibrated frequency can be verified by other means. 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.

For FMTs, the instruments must be capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting beta radiation. These instruments must be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/exposure control-of team members and detection of activity on air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the ORO's 123

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station plans/procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source must be used to verify proper operational response for each low-range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1R/hr) and for high-range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high-range instrument, a procedure must exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high-range instrument can make useful readings.

I In areas where portal monitors are used, the OROs must set up and operationally check the monitor(s). The monitor(s) must conform to the standards set forth in the Contamination Monitoring Standard for a Portal Monitor Used for Emergency Response, FEMA-REP-21 (March 1995) or in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent-of-play agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play:

Radiological Survey Instruments are calibrated per manufactures recommendations. Support counties do not have DRDs, or K1, but those responsible for reception centers and/or monitoring and decontamination centers will have PRDs. Simulated PRDs may be used for the evaluation.

Evaluation of KI quantities will be verified using inventory sheets. KI will not be removed from storage locations and boxes /packages will not be opened KI questions will be addressed through interviews.

Electronic DRD's are in use in the SSES Plume EPZ. Calibration/testing information will be available to the evaluator. Pencil style DRD's may be in use as a backup such as when the electronic DRD's are being calibrated.

Reception Centers shall be evaluated on their ability to use maps or other documentation to direct evacuating persons to the correct Monitoring/Decontamination Centers and/or Mass Care Centers.

EVALUATION AREA 2 Protective Action Decision-Making Sub-element 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to assess and control the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specified in the ORO's plans/procedures, to authorize emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.

124 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers are the recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates that emergency workers may be permitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration TEDE or organ-specific limits) identified in the ORO's plans/procedures.

Criterion 2.a.l: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure 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 protective action guides. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C. 6; J.1O. e,f; K.4)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be assessed concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a full scale, functional or tabletop exercise.

OROs authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway EPZ must demonstrate a capability to comply with emergency worker exposure limits based on their emergency plans/procedures.

Participating OROs must also demonstrate the capability to make decisions concerning authorization of exposure levels in excess of pre-authorized levels and the number of emergency workers receiving radiation doses above pre-authorized levels. This would include providing KI and dosimetry in a timely manner to emergency workers dispatched onsite to support plant incident assessment and mitigating actions, in accordance with respective plans/procedures.

As appropriate, OROs must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for emergency workers, based on their plans/procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAGs for KI administration.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: Radiological briefings (which may be supported by video) will be provided to address exposure limits, procedures to replace those personnel approaching exposure limits and how permission to exceed limits is obtainedfrom the municipality and county. Emergency workers will also be briefed on when to take KI and on whose authority.

Distribution o fK! to emergency workers will be simulated The completion of a "Dosimetry-KI Report Form" will be demonstrated.

Sub-element 2. b. - Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency 125

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to independently project integrated dose from projected or actual dose rates and compare these estimates to the PAGs. OROs must have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency. OROs base these choices on PAGs from their plans/procedures or EPA's Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents and other criteria, such as plant conditions, licensee PARs, coordination of PADs with other political jurisdictions (e.g., other affected OROs and incident command), availability of in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations, to include HAB incidents, the threat posed by the specific hostile action, the affiliated response, and the effect of an evacuation on the threat response effort, that create higher than normal risk from general population evacuation.

Criterion 2.b. 1: Appropriate protective action recommendations (PARs) are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, L 10 and Supplement 3)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise.

During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO must demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plans/procedures, to develop PARs for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations provided by the licensee as well as field monitoring data, if available. The ORO must also consider any release and meteorological data provided by the licensee.

The ORO must 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 must be appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected.dose must be demonstrated. Projected doses must be related to quantities and units of the PAG to which they will be compared. PARs must be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a pre-arranged format.

When the licensee and ORO projected doses differ by more than a factor of 10, the ORO and licensee must determine the source of the difference by discussing input data and assumptions, using different models, or exploring possible reasons. Resolution of these differences must be incorporated into the PARs if timely and appropriate. The ORO must demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: None/Not Evaluated Criterion 2.b.2: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PADs) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of Kl, if ORO policy). (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,A.3; C.4, 6; D.4; J.9; J.lO.f, m)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise.

OROs must have the capability to make both initial and subsequent PADs. OROs must demonstrate the capability to make initial PADs in a timely manner appropriate to the incident, based on information from the licensee, assessment of plant status and potential or actual releases, other available information related to the incident, input from appropriate ORO authorities (e.g., incident command), and PARs from the utility and ORO staff. In addition, a subsequent or alternate PAD may be appropriate if various conditions (e.g., an HAB incident, weather, release timing and magnitude) pose undue risk to an evacuation, or if evacuation may disrupt the efforts to respond to a hostile action.

OROs must demonstrate the ability to obtain supplemental resources (e.g., mutual aid) necessary to implement a PAD if local law enforcement, fire service, HAZMAT, and emergency medical resources are utilized to augment response to the NPP site or other key infrastructure.

Dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. In addition, incident command must provide input regarding considerations for subsequent PARs based on the magnitude of the ongoing threat, the response, and/or site conditions. The decision-makers must demonstrate the capability to change protective actions based on the combination of all these factors.

If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under offsite plans/procedures, then it must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI to supplement sheltering and evacuation. This decision must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAG for KI administration. The KI decision-making process must involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.

If more than one ORO is involved in decision making, all appropriate OROs must communicate and coordinate PADs with each other. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/communicated with incident command. OROs must demonstrate the capability to communicate the results of decisions to all the affected locations.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: None/Not Evaluated Sub-element 2.c - PAD Consideration for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities and Access/Functional Needs INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to determine PADs, including evacuation, sheltering, and use of KI, if applicable, for groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs (e.g., hospitals, nursing 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 ofpersons with disabilities and access/functional needs. (NUREG-0654/FEMA -REP-1,D. 4; J 9; J I O.d, e)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise that would include the use ofplant conditions transmitted from the licensee. 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 incidents where there is a high-risk environmental condition or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, factors that must be considered include weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation versus risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/communicated with the incident command. In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the ORO must consider use of KI.

Applicable OROs must demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Demonstration requires that the OROs actually contact public school systems/districts during the exercise.

In accordance with plans/procedures, OROs and/or officials of public school systems/districts must demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. The decision-making process, including any preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL, 128 0

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station must consider the location of students at the time (e.g., whether the students are still at home, en route to school, or at school).

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: The State EOC will not be evaluated during this exercise; however, this element will be demonstrated during the plume phase exercise as a control mechanism.

Sub-element 2.d. -Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway INTENT This Sub-element 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.l: 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 Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise that would include the use ofplant conditions transmittedfrom the licensee.

OROs are expected to take precautionary actions to protect food and water supplies, or to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water and food, in accordance with their respective plans/procedures. Often OROs initiate such actions based on criteria related to the facility's ECLs. Such actions may include recommendations to place milk animals on stored feed and use protected water supplies. The ORO must use its procedures to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water supplies, such as the development of a sampling plan. The ORO's assessment must include evaluation of the radiological analyses of representative samples of water, food, and other ingestible substances of local interest from potentially impacted areas; characterization of the releases from the facility; and the extent of areas potentially impacted by the release. During this assessment, OROs must consider use of 129

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station agricultural and watershed data within the 50-mile EPZ. The radiological impacts on the food and water must then be compared to the appropriate ingestion PAGs contained in the ORO's plans/procedures. The plans/procedures contain PAGs based on specific dose commitment criteria or on criteria as recommended by current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance. Timely and appropriate recommendations must be provided to the ORO decision-makers group for implementation decisions. OROs may also include a comparison of taking or not taking a given action on the resultant ingestion pathway dose commitments.

The ORO must demonstrate timely decisions to minimize radiological impacts from the ingestion pathway, based on the given assessments and other information. Any such decisions must be communicated and, to the extent practical, coordinated with neighboring OROs.

OROs must use Federal resources, as identified in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex of the NRF and other resources (e.g., compacts or nuclear insurers). Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other participating resources.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: This sub-element will NOT be evaluated during this exercise. This element was demonstrated during the Post Plume Exercise conducted during the week ofAugust 16, 2004for SSES and on the week of March 7th, 2011 for the Commonwealth.

Sub-element 2.e. - Radiological Assessment and Decision Making Concerning Post-Plume Phase Relocation, Reentry, and Return INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to make decisions on post-plume phase relocation, reentry, and return of the general public. These decisions are essential for protection of the public from direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe incident at an NPP.

Criterion 2.e. 1: Timely post-plumephase relocation, reentry, and return decisions are made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, 1.10; J9; K.3.a; M.1)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Relocation: OROs must demonstrate the capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and compare these estimates with PAGs; apply decision criteria for relocation of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated, but where actual or projected doses are in excess of relocation PAGs; and control access to evacuated and restricted areas.

OROs will make decisions for relocating members of the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs. Determination of areas to be restricted must be based on factors such as the mix of radionuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates versus the PAGs, and analyses of vegetation and soil field samples.

Reentry: Decisions must be made on location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and members of the general public who need to temporarily enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.

Examples of control procedures are the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding an individual's objectives, locations expected to be visited, and associated timeframes; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; and advice on areas to avoid. Control procedures also include monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment; the implementation of decision criteria regarding decontamination; and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.

Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized reentry of individuals into the restricted zone(s), based on established decision criteria. OROs must demonstrate the capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.g., police patrols),

maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and other critical functions.

They must demonstrate the capability to use decision-making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons, such as to maintain property (e.g., to care for farm animals or secure machinery for storage) or retrieve important possessions. Coordinated policies for access and exposure control must be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone(s). OROs must demonstrate the capability to establish policies for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowed to reenter the restricted zone(s). The extent to which OROs need to develop policies on reentry will be determined by scenario events.

Return: OROs must demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase (i.e., permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis). OROs must base decisions on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/ geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return. Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area(s) that is based on the relocation PAG.

Other factors that the ORO must consider in decision-making include conditions that permit cancellation of the ECL and relaxation of associated restrictive measures. OROs must base return recommendations on measurements of radiation from ground deposition. OROs must have the capability to identify services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to 131

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: This sub-element will NOT be evaluated during this exercise. This element was demonstrated during the Post Plume Exercise conducted during the week ofAugust 16, 2004for SSES and on the week of March 7th, 2011 for the Commonwealth.

EVALUATION AREA 3 Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimetry and permanent record dosimetry; reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of the PAGs, and the capability to provide KI for emergency workers, always applying the -as low as is reasonably achievable 11 principle as appropriate.

Criterion 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, K1, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures.

Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. OROs maintain appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI to emergency workers. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-i, J.10.e; K.3.a, b; K.4)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise. Other means may include drills, seminars or training activities that would fully demonstrate technical proficiency.

OROs must demonstrate the capability to provide emergency workers (including supplemental resources) with the appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, KI, and instructions on the use of these items. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows an individual(s) to read the 132

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station administrative reporting limits that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of TEDE and maximum exposure limits, for those emergency workers involved in lifesaving activities, contained in the ORO's plans/procedures.

Each emergency worker must have basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plans/procedures. If supplemental resources are used, they must be provided with just-in-time training to ensure basic knowledge of radiation exposure control. Emergency workers must demonstrate procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and manage radiological exposure control.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers must demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker must report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans/procedures. OROs must demonstrate the actions described in the plans/procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, authorize the worker to incur additional exposures, or take other actions. If exercise play does not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators must interview at least two workers to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in case authorization is needed, and at what exposure levels. Workers may use any available resources (e.g., written procedures and/or coworkers) 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. In such cases, adequate control of exposure can be achieved for all team members using one direct-reading dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers assigned to low-exposure rate fixed facilities (e.g., EOCs and communications center within the EPZ, reception centers, and counting laboratories) may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored using group dosimetry (i.e., direct-reading dosimeters strategically placed in the work area). Each team member must still have his or her own permanent record dosimetry. Individuals authorized by the ORO to reenter an evacuated area during the plume (emergency) phase, must be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

OROs may have administrative limits lower than EPA-400-R-92-001 dose limits for emergency workers performing various services (e.g., life saving, protection of valuable property, all activities). OROs must ensure that the process used to seek authorization for exceeding dose limits does not negatively impact the capability to respond to an incident where life saving and/or protection of valuable property may require an urgent response.

OROs must demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI to emergency workers consistent with decisions made. OROs must have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they did so. Ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary.

For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI shall not be performed. OROs must demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate instructions on using KI for those 133

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station advised to take it. Emergency workers must demonstrate basic knowledge of procedures for using KI whether or not the scenario drives the implementation of KI use. This can be accomplished by an interview with the evaluator.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play:

Radiological briefings will be provided to address exposure limits, procedures to replace personnel approaching limits, and how permission to exceed limits is obtainedfrom the municipality and county. Emergency workers will also be briefed on when to take K! and on whose authority.

Distribution of K! will be simulated OROs should also demonstrate the use of all applicable dosimetry forms. The completion of a "Dosimetry-KI Report Form " will be demonstrated At any time, players may ask other players or supervisors to clarify radiological information.

In Pennsylvania, emergency workers outside of the EPZ do not have turn back values.

Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate areas, e.g., at counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual permanent record dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area.

In Pennsylvania this will be accomplished through the use of an area kit. The area kit process is explained in State, County and Municipal Plans.

Standard issue of dosimetry and potassium iodide for each category of emergency worker is as follows:

Category A: 1 PRD, 1 DRD, and I unit of K!

Category B: 1 PRD and I unit ofK! (Area Kit includes 2 DJRDs)

Category C: 1 PRD All locations that have dosimetry equipment indicated within their Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), will make the dosimetry equipment (and K!) available for inspection by the Federal Evaluator. In order to demonstrate an understanding of the use of the dosimetry equipment, K! and associated forms; the location need only remove and distribute / issue a maximum of six (6) units of dosimetry from their inventory. Simulation PRDs with mock serial numbers may be used.

EVALUATION AREA 4 Field Measurement and Analysis Sub-element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to deploy FMTs with the equipment, 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/FEMA-REP-1 indicates that OROs must have the capability to use FMTs within the plume exposure pathway EPZ to detect airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume. In an incident at an NPP, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although incident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are-subject to large uncertainties. During an incident, it isimportant to collect field radiological data to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

Other means may include drills, seminars or training activities that would fully demonstrate technical proficiency.

Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to brief FMTs on predicted plume location and direction, plume travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment. During an HAB incident, the Field Team management must keep the incident command informed of field monitoring teams' activities and location. Coordination with FMTs and field monitoring may be demonstrated as out-of-sequence demonstrations, as negotiated in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and support the adequacy of implemented protective actions, or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams must be directed to take measurements at such locations and times as necessary to provide sufficient information to characterize the plume and its impacts.

If the responsibility for obtaining peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by ORO monitoring teams. If the licensee FMTs do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the ORO's decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all FMTs (licensee, Federal, and ORO) is essential.

Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form(s), to a radiological laboratory (ies) must be demonstrated.

OROs must use Federal resources as identified in the NRF Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex and other resources (e.g., compacts or the licensee). Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play: Field Team Control will be performed near the 10 mile EPZ using the DEP Radiological Rapid Response Vehicle (R3 V). Field Team control is expected to initially be out of sequence with the plume timeline. During the exercise the field teams will be directed to take measurements in locations to provide information sufficient to characterize the plume and impacts. In addition to field team measurements, remote detectors will be deployed by the field teams near the expected plume pathway. These detectors will automatically transmit data to the R3 V These detectors will be used to keep field teams dose ALARA.

Set-up of the facility will be performed the same as for an actual emergency with all route markings and contamination control measures in place including step-off pads. Long runs ofplastic covered with paper will not be demonstrated, but the materials shall be available and explained.

Positioning of afire apparatus on-site may be simulated if otherwise required.

Portal Monitor Use: Risk and Support counties may, during this exercise, utilize portal monitors to monitor simulated emergency workers. The monitoring /decontamination team requirements will be based on the portal monitor capabilities as applicable based on the procedure /guidelines, and the recommendations of the manufacturer. Note: PEM4 guidance shall apply.

Emergency Worker monitoring and decontamination station personnel are not issued DRDs or K! since the centers and stations are outside the EPZ. Category "C" Dosimetry applies.

Personal Record Dosimeters (PRD 's) may be simulated.

Water from decontamination activities may go directly to a storm drain or other sewer or drain system or area normally designated for wastewater that has been used for bathing or washing of vehicles and or equipment.

Sub-element 6.c - Temporary Care of Evacuees INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires OROs to have the capability to establish relocation centers in host/support jurisdictions. The American Red Cross normally provides congregate care in support of OROs under existing letters of agreement.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 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. 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/FEMA-REP-1, J.1O.h, J. 12)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a full-scale or functional exercise, drills, or SA V.

The evaluator must conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with applicable guidance.

For planning purposes, OROs must plan for a sufficient number of congregate care centers in host/support jurisdictions to accommodate a minimum of 20 percent of the EPZ population. 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 must be clearly specified in Extent-of-Play Agreements.

Congregate care staff must also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees, service animals, and vehicles have been monitored for contamination, decontaminated as appropriate, and registered before entering the facility.

Individuals arriving at congregate care facilities must have means (e.g., hand stamp,' sticker, bracelet, form, etc.) indicating that they, and their service animals and vehicles, where applicable, have been monitored, cleared, and found to have no contamination or contamination below the trigger/action level.

In accordance with plans/procedures, individuals found to be clean after monitoring do not need to have their vehicle monitored. These individuals do not need confirmation that their vehicle is free from contamination prior to entering the congregate care areas.

However, those individuals who are found to be contaminated and are then decontaminated will have their vehicles monitored and decontaminated (if applicable) and does need confirmation that their vehicle is free from contamination prior to entering the congregate care areas. 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 must be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

159

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA Negotiated Extent-of-Play:

Each of the support counties (Exception - Montour County) will demonstrate the operation of one mass care center during the out-of-sequence window. Floor plans with flow diagrams of the mass care centers will be available to show organization within the facility and space management during a real emergency. Mass care center locations are listed in the demonstration tables "Demonstration of Mass Care Centers (Attachment A, Section LB.2)".

Personnel, at a minimum, will consist of one manager and one assistant for each mass care center opened during the out-of-sequence window. The evaluator will expect to see sources and quantities of equipment and supplies as well as a staffing chart by job title for 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> staffing. Schematics of these mass care centers will be available, during the demonstration window, to show organization within the facility and space allocation for the registration and sheltering the evacuating public.

Necessary signs, directional arrows andforms will be available and used to demonstrate registration, at a minimum, of three evacuees requiring emergency housing. Evacuees will be shown the location where they would be housed in an actual situation. Bedding, cots, food, etc.

normally associated with mass care will not be moved to the site, but the sources of those items should be explained to FEMA evaluators. This out-of-sequence demonstration window will be from 7:00 PM-9:30 PMon October 24, 2012.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Criterion 6.d.l: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, F.2; H.1O; K.5.a, b; L.1, 4)

Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a full-scale or functional exercise, or drills.

Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts must not delay urgent medical care for the victim.

OROs must demonstrate the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities.

An ambulance must be used for response to the victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended time, OROs may use any vehicle (e.g., car, truck, or van) to transport the victim to the medical facility. Normal communications between the ambulance/dispatcher and the receiving medical facility must be demonstrated. If a substitute vehicle is used for transport to the medical facility, this communication must occur before releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation monitoring results, if available. In addition, the ambulance crew must demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew would be monitored and decontaminated, if required, or whom to contact for such information.

Monitoring of the victim may be performed before transport or en route, or may be deferred to the medical facility. Before using monitoring instruments, the monitor(s) must demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities must be completed as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate contamination control measures must be demonstrated before and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.

The medical facility must demonstrate the capability to activate and set up a radiological emergency area for treatment. Equipment and supplies must be available for treatment of contaminated injured individuals.

The medical facility must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and maintain records of all survey measurements and samples taken. All procedures for collection and analysis of samples and decontamination of the individual must be demonstrated or described to the evaluator. Waste water from decontamination operations must be handled according to facility plans/procedures.

All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

Possible Cause: The Radiological Officer (RO) did not request 30 minute reading or record them.

References:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.3.b South Centre Township Radiological Response Plan Effect: Emergency workers in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone could have been exposed to excessive radiation.

Corrective Action

Description:

After discussion with county and utility leaders and after careful consideration concerning the matter, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania believes that the root cause of the matter rests either in a failure of education of the Radiological Officers and field personnel or a failure of the Radiological Officers and field personnel to follow the procedures given. The first priority would be to strengthen training to emphasis the need to do 30 minute dosimetry readings once the equipment is issued. Secondary priority would be a training emphasis for the EOC Radiological Officer to be more cognizant of the need for 30 minute dosimetry checks and to consider methods they could utilize to remind personnel at the appropriate times such as the use of timers/alarms.
