1. Executive Summary On September 16, 2008, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant by the U.S.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V. The purpose of this exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on September 19, 2006. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on December 9, 1980.

The DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Michigan the risk counties of Allegan, Berrien and Van Buren participated along with the State government.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants was evident during this exercise.

This Final Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities: Michigan Department of Environmental Quality activities in Allegan, Berrien and Van Buren County; Emergency Worker Equipment and Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination; Emergency Worker Monitoring and Decontamination; Evacuee Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination; Evacuee Monitoring, Decontamination and Registration; and Congregate Care Centers.

The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures, and adequately implemented them.

No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Michigan or for Allegan, Berrien or Van Buren Counties during this exercise.

1

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during this exercise for the State of Michigan. This ARCA was identified under Criterion 5.b.1 - Emergency Notification and Public Information, whereby two news releases were issued with incorrect and/or incomplete information.

There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified during this exercise for Allegan, Berrien or Van Buren Counties during this exercise.

One prior ARCA for Van Buren County, Number 44-06-5.b.1-A-02, regarding the Van Buren County EOC not providing accurate information in Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages being broadcast to the public was resolved.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of this report.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. The DHS/FEMAs activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351, and 352.

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

The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/FEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments participation in joint exercises with licensees.

The DHS/FEMAs responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

Taking the lead in off-site emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;

Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and

Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

U.S. Department of Agriculture;

U.S. Department of Energy;

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;

U.S. Department of the Interior;

U.S. Department of Transportation; 3

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;

U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHSFEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant to FEMA Region V by the State of Michigan and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 22, 1982.

Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on July 2, 1987, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted on September 16, 2008, by DHS/FEMA Region V 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 the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairman, and approved by the Regional Administrator.

The criteria utilized in the DHS/FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

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;

FEMA-REP-14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual, September 1991; and

FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the September 16, 2008, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3.1. EPZ Description The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is a single unit pressurized water reactor with a net capacity of 805 megawatts. The facility owned and operated by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Incorporated, commenced commercial operation in December 1971. Lake Michigan is the cooling water source for the plant.

The plant is located in northwestern Van Buren County, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Michigan, approximately five miles south-southwest of South Haven. The 10-mile EPZ of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant encompasses parts of Allegan, Berrien, and Van Buren Counties, with the major portion of the zone falling within Van Buren County. The total plume pathway EPZ permanent population is 33,027 persons.

The EPZ is comprised of five Protective Action Areas (PAAs), numbered 1 to 5, with PAAs 1, 2, and 3 being located within Van Buren County only; PAA 4 is located within both Allegan and Van Buren Counties; and PAA 5 is located within both Berrien and Van Buren Counties. The permanent population of PAA 1 is 2,001. The permanent population of PAA 2 is 1,939. The permanent population of PAA 3 is 2,360. The permanent population of PAA 4 is 10,283. The permanent population of PAA 5 is 4,308.

Approximately 50 percent of the 10-mile EPZ lies within Lake Michigan. The lake attracts a large number of vacationers during the summer. The area includes various summer resorts, which offer camping facilities, light housekeeping cottages, tourists attractions, and the Van Buren State Park. The City of South Haven, with a tourism-based economy, is located five miles north of the plant. The population varies from summer to winter months.

4.2. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. Presented below are definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.

Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.

Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) they were not demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCA remains unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that maybe discussed in this report.

A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...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 15

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."

An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety."

DHS has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among DHS Field Offices and site-specific exercise reports within each Field Office. It also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).

Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number, corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Code.

Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.

Criterion Number - An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice/Vol.

67, No. 80 dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.

Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Plan issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the RPCC Chairman. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.

Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

RECOMMENDATION: Ensure that all information contained in the news release is accurate prior release. Additionally, provide the media with copies of Executive Orders, Agricultural Advisories, and other pertinent documents upon receipt at the JIC to ensure that the media has complete and accurate information.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The EMHSD will review JIC SOPs and conduct training with State JIC staff to address lack of attention to detail in proof reading the news releases prior to release to the media. The criterion will be demonstrated for correction at the 2009 D.C. Cook REP exercise.
