After Action Report/Improvement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On June 5, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)

Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant (BFNPP).

BFNPP is located in Limestone County, approximately 10 miles northwest of Decatur, Alabama and is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The BFNPP 10-mile EPZ is divided into 19 emergency response sectors and encompasses parts of Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan Counties. The 10-mile EPZ population is approximately 45,776.

FEMA's overall objective for the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency at BFNPP. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on December 7-8, 2011. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercises were conducted on September 10, 1981 and November 4, 1987.

The purpose of this report is to analyze exercise results, identify strengths to be maintained and built upon, identify potential areas for further improvement and support development of corrective actions.

The objectives for this exercise encompassed the REP Program's emergency preparedness evaluation areas. All objectives were successfully met. There were no areas requiring corrective action or deficiencies noted during the exercise. FEMA will provide input separately from this After Action Report (AAR) for the State of Alabama's Improvement Plan (IP) describing strengths and areas for improvement observed during the exercise.

SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design DHS/FEMA administers the REP Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) parts 350, 351, and 352. 44 CFR 350 codifies sixteen planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for the licensee, and State, tribal, and local governments impacted by the EPZs established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States. 44 CFR 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of State, tribal, and local government radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures by DHS/FEMA. One of the REP program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities. During these exercises, affected State, tribal, and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.

The results of this exercise together with review of the RERPs and procedures and verification of I

the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 through the Annual Letter of Certification and staff assistance visits enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the affected State, tribal, and local plans and preparedness are (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

Formal submission of the RERP for BFNPP to FEMA by the State of Alabama occurred on August 30, 1982. A revised plan was submitted to FEMA on February 10, 1989. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on July 6, 1990, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was evaluated on June 5, 2013 and included evaluations of the out-of-sequence activities held May 6-10, 2013.

After Action Report/lmprovement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant 3.3 Criteria Evaluation Summaries 3.3.1 Alabama Jurisdictions 3.3.1.1 State of Alabama Operational Coordination Core Capability:

The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) State Warning Point (SWP) successfully demonstrated alert and notification of AEMA State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) staff and risk counties without delay. Emergency Notification Forms advising of BFNPP status were immediately hand-carried to the direction and control staff for instant action.

The AEMA SWP staff consistently performed and exhibited knowledgeable emergency processes throughout the exercise. All communications systems operated normally without failure.

The AEMA SEOC Operations Chief (OC), the Technical Hazard Unit Leader (THUL) and the SEOC staff successfully demonstrated the ability to protect the safety of its citizens in the event of an incident at BFNPP. The AEMA SEOC successfully activated with the SEOC staff quickly responding from daily duty positions within the building. In accordance with established plans and procedures, the Alabama SEOC mainly participates in the protective action decision (PAD) making process as a coordination element. The PAD responsibility belongs to the State Health Officer in the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH). Direction and control of the State response, however, emanates from the SEOC and was effectively managed by the OC and the THUL. These two key staff members worked in tandem to ensure direction, control, coordination, situational awareness and all resource requests were managed in a successful and professional manner. The periodic detailed and informative briefings enabled the assembled SEOC staff to effectively coordinate response actions and to support resource requests from the State Radiological Monitoring and Assistance Center (SRMAC) and risk counties.

The seamless and effective sense of teamwork by all personnel within the SEOC was commendable and highlighted its ability to effectively coordinate a response to an incident at BFNPP. SEOC staff personnel were knowledgeable, professional and performed their duties proactively in response to rapidly changing requirements. All activities were accomplished in accordance with plans and procedures.

15

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Inprovement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant Public Information and Warning Core Capability:

I The AEMA Public Information Officer (PIO) issued the initial State press release informing the public of the BFNPP Alert Emergency Classification Level (ECL) declaration, that there was no threat to the public, and to stay tuned to local radio and television stations. Subsequent press releases were coordinated at the JIC and emailed to the SEOC PIO for coordination and approval by the OC prior to public release.

The AEMA SEOC staff monitored the TVA Hotline as Madison County consistently led the coordination for Limestone, Lauderdale, Lawrence, and Morgan Counties to develop and concur upon PADs and to decide on EAS messages and siren activations.

ADPH Office of Radiation Control (ORC) PIOs prepared four media releases. The releases described actions being taken by ADPH and provided further details on actions for the public to take in response to Emergency Health Orders. All media releases were coordinated with and approved by AEMA prior to dissemination to the media.

Environmental Response/Health and Safety Core Capability:

This capability was successfully demonstrated at the SRMAC in Montgomery, at the SRMAC in Decatur, and by two radiological field monitoring teams (RFMTs). A third RMFT participated for training only.

ORC staff initially coordinated the State's technical response to the emergency at BFNPP by activating SRMAC-Montgomery and by contacting and deploying personnel to staff SRMAC-Decatur and three RFMTs. SRMAC-Montgomery is a well-equipped facility capable of supporting emergency operations. SRMAC-Montgomery staff provided a detailed safety briefing to the RFMTs, monitored events at BFNPP, and kept ORC leadership informed.

SRMAC-Decatur staff were pre-positioned near the facility in accordance with the EOPA and arrived promptly after being notified by SRMAC-Montgomery. The SRMAC-Decatur facility had recently undergone a major renovation, greatly increasing the work area available to staff.

16

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant New furniture, computers, projectors, printers, television monitors, and other equipment had been installed. The renovated facility allowed staff to accomplish their tasks more efficiently.

Staff members quickly prepared to take over responsibilities from SRMAC-Montgomery. This turnover occurred right as BFNPP was declaring a Site Area Emergency (SAE) ECL.

The SRMAC-Decatur Team Leader provided direction and control to the staff, all of whom were technically proficient and effective in carrying out the duties of their positions. The Team Leader frequently discussed the status of the emergency with the State Health Officer Designee in the SRMAC, who, under the authority of the State Health Officer, could issue Emergency Health Orders. SRMAC staff frequently interacted with TVA staff in the SRMAC and at the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) to obtain or provide information on emergency conditions.

SRMAC staff effectively directed the activities of the RFMTs, initially deploying them to areas nearby and downwind from BFNPP. SRMAC required RFMTs to report their dosimeter readings at least every thirty minutes. After the radiological release began, the Team Leader and State Health Officer Designee reviewed release data and dose projections and ordered the RFMT members to ingest potassium iodide (KI).

The SRMAC staff made well-reasoned recommendations and decisions based on plant conditions, radiological release data, dose projections, and RFMT monitoring and sampling data.

Following the BFNPP declaration of SAE, the State Health Officer Designee issued two Emergency Health Orders (EHOs) - Public Warning and Restricted Access. Later during the SAE, he issued a third EHO - Evacuation for several downwind sectors of the emergency planning zone (EPZ). Following the declaration of General Emergency and the start of the radiological release, two additional EHOs were issued for evacuation of additional close-in sectors and shelter in place for the remaining sectors in the.EPZ.

Three RFMTs were pre-positioned at the Morgan County Health Department in Decatur, AL.

Two of the teams were evaluated. The RFMT equipment, supplies and vehicles were adequate to support radiological monitoring and emergency worker functions. Two communications systems were available, tested and verified operational before deployment. The RFMTs were provided an operational briefing by the SRMAC-Montgomery Team Leader. Field team instruments were within calibration dates and properly checked for operation. Field team instrumentation was sufficient to perform airborne particulate and radioiodine sampling.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant I

Ambient direct radiation field measurements were also performed. Ambient readings and personnel exposures were routinely communicated to the SRMAC. Airborne radioactivity was assessed using an air sampler fitted with a particulate filter and a charcoal cartridge. RFMT members were aware of the purpose of KI and the correct dosages to take. Emergency worker exposure control was satisfactorily demonstrated with appropriate dosimetry use and proper documentation.

The ability to deliver coordinated, prompt, reliable, and actionable information to the BFNPP EPZ communities from the JIC through the use of clear, consistent, and accessible methods was successfully demonstrated during this exercise. JIC representatives included staff from AEMA; ADPH; TVA; the risk counties of Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, and Morgan; and the host county of Madison. County PIO liaison positions were filled by emergency management staff through the North Alabama Mutual Assistance Agreement.

The JIC was activated at the SAE ECL. For this exercise, in accordance with the Extent-of-Play Agreement (EOPA), the State participants responded upon notification while the county representatives were pre-positioned.

I The JIC had redundant communications and sufficient equipment and suppliesto support emergency operations. Communications included dedicated commercial telephones supplemented by cell phones, computers, and two-way Southern LINC radios. Primary and 18 I

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant backup communications systems were fully functional at the commencement of the exercise and there were no failures during the exercise.

A total of eight news releases, five EHOs, six EAS bulletins and eight Special News Broadcasts were received and distributed in the JIC during the exercise. All releases accurately relayed the protective action decisions and precautionary measures instituted by the jurisdictions. Two media briefings were conducted during the exercise and prior to each briefing, the spokespersons gathered to discuss and coordinate their message for the briefing.

During the 2011 exercise, it was recommended that the county representatives in the JIC would be better served in representing the jurisdictions if they had a "smart book" which contained jurisdiction specific emergency data. This recommendation was implemented and for this exercise each county and state PIO had a smart book from which jurisdiction specific information was quickly and easily referred to several times by each PIO during the course of the demonstration which enhanced JIC operations.

Media monitoring was performed by TVA staff in the media monitoring room. Local primary radio and television stations were monitored, including internet social media and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) news feeds. State rumor control was divided among two separate entities at:

the JIC, public inquiry and media inquiry. Public inquiry accomplishes traditional rumor control functions and media inquiry only deals with inquiries from news and media outlets. During the exercise, the State public and media inquiry function received a total of 38 calls.

3.3.1.3 Lauderdale County Operational Coordination Core Capability:

I Florence-Lauderdale County Emergency Management Agency (FLCEMA) staff and supporting agencies successfully demonstrated the capability to provide multi-agency coordination for incident management by activating and operating the Lauderdale County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The Emergency Management Director, Deputy Director, Emergency Planner and other staff were highly proficient in the performance of their duties and were proactive in their planning and implementation of Lauderdale County emergency response actions. The Director maintained effective direction and control, properly coordinated protective action decisions, and ensured situational awareness through frequent staff briefings. The EOC had sufficient equipment and communications for conducting operations and communicating with other State and local governments and agencies, including two dedicated telephone systems.

The EOC staff successfully demonstrated the ability to coordinate with local, regional and State agencies to establish evacuation routes, traffic control points and backup route alerting. There was seamless coordination to ensure all county residents would be notified and relocated if necessary. All personnel were professional, well trained, and knowledgeable of their responsibilities.

I Public Information and Warning Core Capability:..

FLCEMA successfully demonstrated their ability to conduct primary alert and notification of the public in a timely manner using a combination of a siren activations and EAS instructional messages. Initial and subsequent EAS messages were seamlessly coordinated between Lauderdale County, the other counties, and AEMA using the TVA Line. A Public Information Message tracking sheet, indicating the message type and description, ensured consistency with all the counties. The Lauderdale County Emergency Planner and the Deputy Director were thoroughly familiar with the coordination, validation and approval process to ensure accurate and timely information was released to the public. The FLCEMA staff worked effectively together to ensure the public was notified promptly and accurately.

The ability to perform backup route alerting of the public in the event of a siren failure was 20 I

H The Lawrence County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Director and Deputy Director I

demonstrated timely decision-making capabilities and direction and control during emergency response activities at the Lawrence County EOC. Both exercised direction over all county emergency operations throughout the exercise and provided required decisions and guidance, while coordinating information and decisions with staff and other agencies as necessary. This resulted in the timely accomplishment of all responsibilities.

The Deputy Director ensured the establishment of message logs for incoming and outgoing I

messages and transmissions, while providing leadership in decision-making and clarification of authorities. She engaged staff and other agency representatives and officials in discussions prior 3

to making decisions. The EMA Director made or concurred with PADs, directed the activation of PNS/EAS, and approved EAS messages developed by his staff.

The Law Enforcement Director and a Health Department Representative at the EOC ensured adequate controls were in place to provide protection for emergency workers dispatched into the EPZ. In dispatching emergency workers into the EPZ, they considered projected doses, likely exposures in various geographic areas, alternate routes to avoid exposure, current and potential meteorological conditions, procedures for relieving exposed workers to ensure that doses were as low as possible, the number of workers available to replace those exposed, areas or roads to avoid, and what to do in the event of equipment failures.

Both the EMA Director and Deputy Director coordinated PADs with the other affected counties I

and AEMA on the TVA Hotline. The EMA Director stated that he concurred with the EHOs issued by the State Health Officer, but in the event that the local situation required other I

considerations, he was at liberty to disagree and would express his objections and reasons during the conference call. All local decisions were based on immediate access to local information and took into consideration the health and safety of the public and for emergency workers.

After receiving notification of an Alert ECL at BFNPP, the Emergency Management Director (EMD) for Limestone County initiated actions to activate the EOC at level III. Staff notifications were implemented immediately tasking seven people to respond to the EOC, sixty three people were placed on standby. As plant conditions worsened the EMD increased her staffing until the EOC was brought to level I, it's most capable state. When staff members arrived at the EOC they were provided positional checklists to guide their actions through the escalation of the incident, and briefed on the current situation at BFNPP and in the county.

The EOC facility was spacious and well laid out for the operations being performed. Equipment and supplies were adequate to support the emergency response. Communications equipment in the EOC was robust and redundant. Communication during the exercise was accomplished by use of commercial telephone lines, cell phones, SouthernLINC radios, email, and the TVA Hotline. Additional communications methods, including the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, were also available.

A conscientious leader, the EMD provided clear guidance and direction throughout the exercise.

Briefings were provided to the EOC staff hourly or as the situation dictated. The EMD coordinated closely with agency representatives when tasking missions. The EMD followed up with each agency to insure tasks were being completed. One of the earliest decisions was to initiate notification and relocation of special populations and certain industries in the 10-mile.

EPZ. Protective actions for schools were described by the EMD and the school system representative.

This capability was successfully demonstrated by the Huntsville-Madison County EOC staff.

U The Huntsville-Madison County Emergency Management Agency (HMCEMA) used effective means to alert, notify, and mobilize personnel and activated the EOC in a timely manner. In i

addition to EOC staff, the notification also went to other political entities, hospitals, emergency services, etc. This system was also used (simulated) at ECL changes and to pass on other critical information as needed. As a host county, and per the EOPA, HMCEMA required only limited EOC staffing for the exercise and did not augment the HMCEMA staff members pre-positioned in the EOC.

The TVA Hotline was the main communication tool used between the SWP, SRMAC, risk I

counties and Madison County. In addition to the TVA Hotline, the EOC was equipped with SouthernLINC radios, commercial and cellular telephones, and various radio systems. The SouthernLINC radio (the designated backup for the TVA Hotline) was demonstrated during the exercise for other county to county messages and at the end of the exercise to contact the SWP to verify exercise termination.

The EOC was well equipped to support emergency operations with computers, office equipment, U

displays and supplies. The REP Operations Status Board was updated with current weather information and also contained the 10 mile EPZ map with a large arrow designating wind direction.

The Emergency Management Officer (EMO) held staff briefings every hour or as information 1

changed. Updates were discussed with the staff as they reported to the EOC. The major coordination responsibility for public notification via PNS activation and EAS messages was m

assumed and directed by Madison County after each notification from the SWP of an ECL change or from the SRMAC of a EHO.

Public Information and Warning Core Capability:

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant This capability was successfully demonstrated by EOC staff during the exercise by coordinating the activation of PNS and the broadcast of EAS messages by the four risk counties following notification of each ECL change at BFNPP and each EHO issued by the State Health Officer.

HMCEMA coordinated six different PNS activations, six EAS messages and seven Special News Broadcasts with detailed information augmenting the EAS messages. HMCEMA coordinated between the State agencies and the risk counties to identify the correct EAS messages to implement PADs and then coordinated the times that the sirens would be sounded and EAS messages sent to local radio stations. After each coordination call, the required information was entered into the TVA WebEOC and EMITS display and tracking systems.

The EMO dispatched a county PIO to the JIC at 0800. During the exercise the county PIO kept in contact with the EOC and requested updates to activities taking place in the county.

On-Scene Security and Protection Core Capability:

The ability to control the flow of evacuee traffic was demonstrated by interview with representatives of the Madison Police Department and the Huntsville Police Department. The two departments, along with the Madison County Sheriffs Office and the Alabama Highway Patrol share communications capabilities over an 800 MHz radio system. The three officers interviewed were each equipped with hand held radios and vehicle mounted radios. Cellular telephones serve as a backup. Their vehicles were equipped with sufficient supplies to establish TCPs. They were aware of the eight locations that could be used as Reception Centers in Madison County. They understood that they would be directed by their supervisors, under the control of the EOC, to patrol and monitor traffic in their respective jurisdictions with special emphasis on Interstate 565 and US Highway 72, these being the primary routes to Madison County Reception Centers.

The officers were aware that any impediments identified by law enforcement would be handled through the EOC by either coordinating removal or by rerouting traffic and shifting signage.

Local wrecker services or heavy equipment from various road departments would be used for impediment removal.
