U.S. Department of Homeland Security Region V 536 South Clark Street, Floor 6 Chicago, IL 60605 FEMA MAR 1It Z013 Mr. Charles A. Casto Regional Administrator U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III 2443 Warrenville Road Lisle, Illinois 60542-4351

Dear Mr. Casto:

Enclosed is one copy of the Final After Action Report (AAR) / Improvement Plan (IP) for the December 5, 2012, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Quad Cities Station.

The State of Illinois, Rock Island and Whiteside Counties, and the utility owner/operator, Exelon Nuclear, participated in this exercise. The Final After Action (AAR) / Improvement Plan (IP) was prepared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.

No Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise.

There was one Plan Issue identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois. There were no Plan Issues identified for Rock Island or Whiteside Counties.

The Plan Issue for the State was identified under Criterion 3.a.1 OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of their mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart.

The Plan Issue was assessed based on the findings that two nurses and one doctor did not have permanent record dosimeters while attending to a contaminated injured patient.

Based on the results of the December 5, 2012, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Quad Cities Station, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.

'*1.~~tl l"AR1 8"2013

.... www.fema.gov

Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois site-specific to the Quad Cities Station, granted on December 4, 1980, remains in effect.

If you have any questions, please contact William E. King, Chairman, Regional Assistance Committee, DHSIFEMA, Region V, at (312) 408-5575.

Sincerely, ndrew Velasquez III Regional Administrator Enclosure (1)

SUMMARY

I On December 5, 2012, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation I

Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)lFederal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the 10-mile I

Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Quad Cities Station (QCS). The purpose ofthe I

exercise was to assess the capabilities ofthe State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise ofState and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

I The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on November 17, 2010. The qualifying I

emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on May 20, 1981.

I EPZ DESCRIPTION The Quad Cities Station is located in Rock Island County, Illinois. The Station is 20 miles I

northeast ofthe Quad Cities. It is on the eastern bank ofthe Mississippi River opposite the mouth ofthe Wapsipinicon River. The topography ofthe site and its immediate environs is low I

and relatively flat, with a mean elevation ofapproximately 605 feet. The ground surface drops off abruptly at the bank ofthe river, forming a bluffabout 30 feet high.

I The 10-mile EPZ encompasses the following jurisdictions: Rock Island County, which includes the municipalities of Cordova and Port Byron, and Whiteside County, which includes the I

municipality ofAlbany. The 2010 population ofthe 10-mile EPZ is 6,298 persons. The primary land use around the Quad Cities Station is agricultural, with cash grain crops of corn and I

soybeans. The closest major industries are located in the Cordova Industrial Park northeast ofthe Station.

I Major transportation facilities in the Quad Cities Station 10-mile EPZ are limited to Interstate Highway 88, which passes nine and one-half (9 112) miles southeast ofthe Station; the I&M I

Raillink and the Mississippi River.

I The EPZ also includes several Counties within the State oflowa within the Jurisdiction of FEMA Region VII.

Luminescent Dosimeter (LD) and the Trinity Medical Center Nuclear Medical Technician wore a TLD. However, two nurses and the doctor were not wearing any permanent record dosimeters.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Trinity Medical Services Facility Trauma Center was not aware ofthe requirement to have a DRD which will allow for reading exposure in real time. The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Manual states that those individuals with assignments outside ofthe IO-mile EPZ who might come in contact with radioactive materials are required to have PRDs. Group dosimetry is accomplished by issuing a PRD to each individual, then using one or more area DRDs to monitor exposure ofthe entire group.

The plans/procedures did not identify the dosimetry, including DRDs and PRDs to be used by emergency workers and include the quantities ofitems required, based on the I

number ofemergency workers; quantities ofequipment available, by type and model; and information regarding backup equipment (i.e., how many items are available by I

type/model and where they are stored). Also, ifdosimetry will be provided from remote locations, the plans/procedures should describe methods of obtaining the I

dosimetry, including what organization will supply the equipment, how much is available, and its estimated arrival time.

I

REFERENCE:

NUREG CRITERION H.I0, K.3.a I

EFFECT: Emergency workers who were exposed to radiation would not know their exposure record. The Trinity Medical Services Facility Trauma Center would not I

have permanent records ofemergency worker radiation exposure.

There were no deficiencies were identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois or for I

Rock Island or Whiteside Counties.

I There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified and corrected for the State I

ofIllinois during this exercise. The State ofIllinois received an ARCA finding under Support OperationslFacilities, 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.

I The ARCA assessed was based on findings that medical services personnel cross contaminated I

equipment and clothing while caring for a contaminated injured individual.

I The criterion was successfully redemonstrated after the State Controller provided additional instruction to the medical services personnel.

I No ARCAs were identified for Rock Island or Whiteside Counties during this exercise.

I There was one Planning Issue identified for the State of Illinois. The State ofIllinois received a I

Planning Issue under Protective Action Implementation Criterion 3.a.l - The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of their mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or I

chart.

I The Planning Issue was assessed based on the findings that two nurses and one doctor did not have permanent record dosimeters while attending to a contaminated injured individual.

I There were no Planning Issues identified for either Rock Island or Whiteside Counties during the exercise.

I Based on the results ofthe December 5, 2012, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency I

response plans and preparedness for the State ofIllinois and affected local jurisdictions, site specific to the Quad Cities Station, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable I
