Dear Mr. Satorius:
Enclosed is a copy of the final report for the December 5, 2012, exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS). The State of Iowa, and Clinton and Scott Counties participated in this exercise and out-of-sequence evaluations. The report was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII staff. The final report will be provided to the State of Iowa.
No Deficiencies were identified. There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) and three planning issues identified for Iowa jurisdictions/organizations as a result of this exercise.
Based on the results of the exercise and out-of-sequence evaluations, the offsite radiological response plans and preparedness for the State of Iowa and the affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the QCNPS, can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350 approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Iowa, site-specific to the QCNPS, granted on March 26, 1986, will remain in effect.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the report, please contact Mr. Ronald L.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On December 5, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region VII, conducted an exercise in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS). In addition, out-of-sequence drills were conducted on October 25 and December 6, 2012. The purpose of the exercise and drills was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures.
The previous exercise at this site was conducted on November 17, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on March 26, 1986.
DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Iowa the counties of Clinton and Scott participated along with the State government. The efforts of the utility should also be commended for their work on the scenario development and exercise preparation.
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 this exercise.
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. One Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was identified as a result of this exercise, and three Planning Issues were identified. Two previous ARCAs were satisfied during this exercise and are now closed; one from the previous QCNPS exercise conducted on November 17, 2010, and one from the previous Duane Arnold Energy Center exercise conducted on May 16, 2012. The one new ARCA remains open, and should be demonstrated during the next biennial exercise. This report contains the evaluation of the biennial full-scale exercise and the out-of-sequence drills.
The Final protective action decision (PAD) during the exercise was the evacuation of portions of 4
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station both Clinton and Scott Counties in Iowa. In Clinton County, sub-area 1 (approximately 2 mile radius from the plant), sub-area 5, and sub-area 11 were evacuated. In Scott County, sub-area 2 (approximately 2 mile radius from the plant) was evacuated. The evacuated area included the towns ofFolletts, Camanche, and Clinton. The evacuation also included the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge, the Princeton State Wildlife Management Area, and the Rock Creek County Park. Residents were directed to Reception Centers at North Scott High School in Eldridge and Northeast High School in Goose Lake. Approximately 31,295 Iowa residents and transients were affected by the evacuation.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN
SUMMARY
2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) Emergency Plans describe QCNPS's capability to respond effectively to a radiological emergency at the site, and provides a detailed description of QCNPS's interaction with Federal, State, and local government agencies and private organizations. The Emergency Plans provide for continuous emergency preparedness including the conduct of an annual exercise and preparatory drills.
The purpose of this exercise was to activate and evaluate portions of the Iowa State Emergency Plan, and the Clinton and Scott County Emergency Plans, and associated implementing procedures, in accordance with 44 CFR 350. The conduct and evaluation of this drill provided additional training for emergency response organization personnel and a means to further enhance QCNPS emergency response capability.
The Scenario Manual was designed to provide the basis for the conduct of a simulated radiological accident scenario at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, located near Cordova in Rock Island County, Illinois, through which the capabilities and effectiveness of the emergency response plans for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, the State of Iowa, Clinton and Scott Counties can be evaluated. The Scenario Manual was utilized by the Exercise Controllers/Evaluators as the control mechanism for the conduct of the drill.
The scenario was developed by Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. It was initially reviewed by ICF, a FEMA contractor, prior to the final review and approval by FEMA Region VII.
2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Emergency Preparedness Exercises and Drills are conducted to test and provide the opportunity to evaluate emergency plans, associated implementing procedures, facilities, and equipment. This exercise tested the QCNPS emergency response organization's ability to assess and respond to emergency conditions and coordinate efforts with other agencies for protection of the health and safety of the public.
The scenario, as driven by the QCNPS Control Room Simulator, depicted a simulated sequence of events that resulted in escalating conditions of sufficient magnitude to warrant mobilization of 9
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station State and local agencies to respond to the simulated emergency. Whenever practical, the drill incorporated provisions for "free play" on the part of the participants.
The QCNPS, Emergency Preparedness Exercise & Drill Program objectives are based on the Federal requirements delineated in 44 CPR 350, and State oflowa, Clinton County, and Scott County Radiological Emergency Preparedness plans. Additional guidance provided in NUREG-0654, NUREG-0696, and NUREG-0737, was utilized in developing these objectives.
This Exercise included full participation by the State of Iowa, and Clinton and Scott Counties. A summary of the specific areas evaluated for all the participating organizations are listed in Table 3.1.
The overall objective ofthe Exercise was to evaluate the integrated capability of a major portion of the basic elements existing within the onsite emergency plans and emergency response organizations.
2.3 Scenario Summary The following is a summary of the actual scenario developed by the utility, Exelon Nuclear, for use in driving the exercise events.
INITIAL CONDITIONS Weather Conditions - Current weather conditions are clear skies with temperatures currently about 35°F and gentle winds are out of the southwest.
System Load- The CornEd transmission system is normal, no PJM issued alerts or warnings.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station
>Trip of 4KV Bus 14-1 with failure ofU1 EDG to start 0850 This will result in Y2 SCRAM, Reactor water cleanup system isolation, SBGTS auto start, Reactor Building ventilation isolation, loss of Bus 19, loss of lB RPS bus.
Expected Actions The crew will dispatch teams to investigate cause of Bus 14-1 trip, cause of U 1 EDG failure to start, and initiate actions to restore 1B RPS from either normal or reserve supply. Control room will restore power to Bus 14-1 using the crosstie from 24-1. Control room will restore power to Bus 19 from either Bus 18 crosstie or Bus 14-1.
>Control Rod H8 Drift 0915 Control rod H8 will drift out, this will be a fuel failure precursor.
Expected Actions Crew will reinsert the control rod H8 to 00, it will not stay in. The crew will insert a manual individual scram signal to the control rod in the simulator. This will be followed by an operator being dispatched to isolate 1-0305-105 the HCU isolation valve.
>Feed Water Transient Resulting in SCRAM.
0925 lB FW Reg valve fails FULL OPEN causing +48" trip of all 3 Reactor Feed Pumps, Turbine trip, and Reactor SCRAM. ALL MSIVs fail CLOSED during turbine trip.
Expected Actions The crew will insert manual SCRAM during RPV level increase, isolate failed FW Reg Valve, and perform post SCRAM actions. This cold water transient causes further fuel failure. Drywell 12
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan radiation will be ramping up slowly. Off-gas and Main Steam Line radiation monitors will increase and then decrease (taper off) following the closure of the MSIVs.
>LOCA 0935 Relatively small leak inside drywell increases drywell pressure above 2.5 psig. Drywell radiation will increase above 100 R/hr and level off around 250 R/hr. This will meet the thresholds for RCS barrier failure for RC3 and RC5. The Loss of one fission product barrier is a concurrent ALERT.
Drywell sprays will not function.
Expected Actions The TSC will identify the concurrent ALERT conditions. Ops crew will identify the failure of the Drywell sprays and ERO should investigate the DW spray failure.
>SITE EMERGENCY Loss of Two Fission Product Barriers - DW Radiation >665 Rlhr 0950 Drywell radiation increases to greater than 6.65E+2 Rlhr. This value exceeds the threshold for the Loss ofthe Fuel Clad barrier- FC5. The failure of the Fuel Clad concurrent with the previous Loss of the RCS barrier (RC3- DW high pressure >2.5# due to RCS leakage or RC5- Drywell radiation> 100 Rlhr) meets the criteria for SITE AREA EMERGENCY- FSl loss of 2 fission product barriers.
Expected Actions The Station Emergency Director (TSC) is expected to classify and declared a SITE AREA EMERGENCY - FS 1, based on the Loss of Fuel Clad (FC5) and the previous Loss of RCS RC3 or RC5). State notifications should be completed via the NARS.
The Station should initiate an Assembly (actual).
13
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Following completion of the Assembly/Accountability, the TSC should initiate an evacuation of non-essential personnel if the conditions warrant (simulated).
>lA TBCCW Pump failure 0950 lA TBCCW Pump coupling will fail causing loss of all TBCCW. TBCCW low pressure alarm will annunciate and low system pressure will be shown on the control room pressure gage. The lA TBCCW Pump control room indication will show the breaker still closed with the motor running.
Expected Actions Crew will dispatch team to investigate and will discover a failed coupling and the motor running unloaded. The motor will be turned off. Actions will be initiated for loss of TBCCW to include securing all Ul equipment cooled by TBCCW including Reactor Feed Pumps, Condensate booster pumps, Circulating Water Pumps, CRD Pumps, EHC Pumps, lA and lB Service Air compressors, Y2 and lA Instrument air compressors. Repair of the coupling to be initiated using new coupling staged for the adjacent lB TBCCW pump that is being rebuilt.
>GENERAL EMERGENCY Penetration Failure - Loss of all 3 Fission Product Barriers 1105-1235 Drywell X-25 penetration bellows failure causes loss of containment as evidenced by drop in Drywell pressure concurrent with an increase Area radiation monitors. This meets the threshold for the Loss of the Containment barrier - CT3 .1 - rapid unexplained drop in Drywell pressure; OR CT3.2- Drywell pressure response not consistent with LOCA conditions; OR CT6.3-UNISOLABLE primary system leakage outside drywell resulting in Secondary Containment temperature or radiation levels greater than QGA 300 Max Safe operating levels.
The Loss of the containment barrier with the previous Loss of the RCS and Fuel Clad barriers results in meeting the criteria for GENERAL EMERGENCY - FG 1 - Loss of ALL three fission product barriers.
14
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan Expected Actions The Station Emergency Director/TSC should classify a GENERAL EMERGENCY, based on EAL FG 1 (Loss of ALL three Fission Product Barriers). All appropriate notifications should be made.
Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) [BASED on revised PAR Flowchart EP-AA-111-F-06 - Rev E6] for the public should be developed to evacuate a two-mile radius and downwind sub-areas out to five miles. PARs should be the evacuation of Illinois subareas 1, 2 and Iowa subareas 1, 2, 5 based on a wind direction from 225°.

ISSUE NO.: 51-12-5a1-P-01 CRITERION: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current REP guidance.
CONDITION: After receiving a recorded message from the Clinton County Public Information Officer, the KROS 1340 AM radio station's automated system activates the EAS tones and broadcasts the recorded message within a few seconds. The EAS tones will alert subsequent broadcasting systems to also broadcast the recorded message. If the recorded message is longer than the 2-minute EAS time constraint, the recorded message will be automatically cut-off after 2-minutes by the subsequent broadcasting stations.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The automated recording/broadcasting system requires specific codes to begin and end the message. These codes trigger the EAS tones and 23
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station automatically broadcast the newly recorded message and it replaces the previously recorded message. Because a special news broadcast message may contain more information and be longer than 2-minutes, it would be better not to tone out the EAS.

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1. E. 7 EFFECT: The EAS tones will alert subsequent broadcasting systems to broadcast the recorded message. If the recorded message is a special news broadcast (SNB) message and is longer than the 2-minute EAS time constraint, the EAS system used by subsequent broadcasting stations will automatically cut the SNB message after 2-minutes. Therefore the message will not be broadcast in its entirety.
RECOMMENDATION: To program the automated recording/broadcasting system at KROS AM radio station to allow special news broadcast messages to record and automatically broadcast without first sending the EAS tones. Plans/procedures must be revised to indicate that the tones will NOT be broadcast in conjunction with the special news broadcast messages, but ONLY with the EAS messages. During an incident, all communications between the county and the radio station should confirm this same step in the process prior to any broadcast or simulated broadcast.

ISSUE NO.: 51-12-5b1-A-02 CRITERION: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and news media in a timely manner.
CONDITION: Following the initial broadcast of Special News Broadcast (SNB) S-2.
at 1034, S-2 was never re-broadcast during the exercise. Through interview it was stated that it would not be rebroadcast or put into a loop. Later, during further discussion with the evaluator, it was stated that the message would be rebroadcast once an hour.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Instructions to rebroadcast the Special News Broadcasts at least once within 15 minutes, that were contained on current messages within the Scott County Radiological Emergency Response Plan, were not followed.
REFERENCE:
OROs provide accurate subsequent emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.S, 7; G.3.a, G.4.a, c)

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station EFFECT: Members of the public that missed the initial broadcast of the Special News Broadcast may have been delayed in receiving important emergency information and instructions.
RECOMMENDATION: Appropriate EOC staff and radio station personnel should be trained on the requirements, per the plans and current messages included in the plans, to rebroadcast Special News Broadcasts in accordance with the plans. This must be redemonstrated during the next biennial exercise.
- c. DEFICIENCY: None
- d. PLAN ISSUES: 5.a.l.
ISSUE NO.: 51-12-Sal-P-03 CRITERION: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current REP guidance.
CONDITION: The initial Emergency Alerting System (EAS) message number S-1 was not broadcast by the EAS radio station prior to the Scott County subsequent Emergency Information Message number 3. Message number 3 provided new emergency information for the evacuation of Scott County subarea 2 and related instructions for the public following the General Emergency emergency classification level (ECL).
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Scott County EOC did not instruct the radio station to broadcast message S-1 prior to message S-3 as neither the county plan or the procedures require that the intial EAS message precede the subsequent emergency information messages with the exception of the very first alerting and notification sequence.
Through interview with the EOC staff,it was determined that S-1 would not be 26
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan broadcast because all subsequent EAS messages after the first broadcast of S-1 were considered follow up information despite the change in ECL and the evacuation change.
REFERENCE:
Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current REP guidance. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.5, 6, 7)
EFFECT: Although the public would have been alerted to the new emergency information by the siren activations (which were done prior to each new emergency information message), anyone watching or listening to an EAS station would not have been alerted to the new information with either an EAS message or the EAS message tones.
RECOMMENDATION: The Scott County plans and procedures should be revised as necessary to indicate that the initial EAS message (S-1) will be broadcast prior to each subsequent emergency information message, especially following any changes to either the emergency classification level or the protective action decisions. All plans/procedures for the primary alerting and notification of the public need to be incorporated in the official plans/procedures set submitted to FEMA for review and approval.

ISSUE NO.: 51-10-5a1-A-05 ISSUE: The WOC staff failed to follow the procedures that require the verification of the emergency message facsimile after receipt at the radio station with staff at the Scott County Emergency Operations Center.
In addition to the verification issue above, the "EOC Davenport Iowa - BAS Messages Procedure" (v. April26, 2010) directs staff in Bullet 1 to copy and distribute the emergency message facsimile to the sister station studios (e.g., WLLR).
Bullet 2 directs the staff to verify the message with the Scott County EOC and Bullet 3 directs broadcasting the message. The issue is that Bullet 1 directs the distribution of the emergency messages to the sister stations (which will immediately broadcast them) prior to the verification required in Bullet 2.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The procedures utilized during the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Exercise in 2010 and the failure ofWLLRIWOC Radio staff to follow those procedures for verification of the emergency message facsimile after receipt at the radio station with staff at the Scott County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) resulting in ARCA (51-10-5a1-A-05) have been rescinded and no longer require that operation to be performed at the radio station.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN Issue Number: 5l-l2-5al-P-Ol Criterion: 5a 1 ISSUE: After receiving a recorded message from the Clinton County Public Information Officer, the KROS 1340 AM radio station's automated system activates the EAS tones and broadcasts the recorded message within a few seconds. The EAS tones will alert subsequent broadcasting systems to also broadcast the recorded message. If the recorded message is longer than the 2-minute EAS time constraint, the recorded message will be automatically cut-off after 2-minutes by the subsequent broadcasting_ stations.
RECOMMENDATION: To program the automated recording/broadcasting system at KROS AM radio station to allow special news broadcast messages to record and automatically broadcast without first sending the EAS tones. Plans/procedures must be revised to indicate that the tones will NOT be broadcast in conjunction with the special news broadcast messages, but ONLY with the EAS messages. During an incident, all communications between the county and the radio station should confirm this same step in the process prior to any broadcast or simulated broadcast.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: Both the radio station and Clinton County will revise and strengthen their plans/procedures to indicate that the tones will NOT be broadcast in conjunction with the special news broadcast messages, but ONLY with the EAS messages. Plans/procedures will also indicate that during during an incident, all communication between the county and the radio station will confirm this same step in the process prior to any broadcast or simulated broadcast.
