OCT 1 5 2013 NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is one copy of the After Action Report (AAR)/Improvement Plan (IP) for the July 23, 2013, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the MNGP. The State of Minnesota, Sherbume and Wright Counties, and the utility owner/operator, Xcel Energy, participated in this exercise. The AAR/IP was prepared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program.

There were no Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Sherburne and Wright during this exercise.

There was one ARCA identified and corrected on the spot during this exercise for the Counties of Sherburne and Wright.

There was one Plan Issue each identified for the State of Minnesota and for the Counties of Sherbume and Wright during this exercise.

The Plan Issue, 39-13-lel-P-06 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion i.e. 1, Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations. The current Radiological Accident Deployment Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines (REP-1), rev 27, 4/12/2013, pages 7 through 9, describes Dosimetry issued to Field Monitoring Teams as consisting of one Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) and one Canberra UltraRadiac Electronic Personal Dosimeter. Attachment 5 - Sample Kit Inventory (dated Rev 25, 5/2009), page 44, however, describes Dosimetry equipment as including three dosimeter packs, each consisting of one TLD, one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one 0-20 R DRD and one DRD charger. This Plan Issue remains open.

The Plan Issue, 39-13-3al-P-03 for the County of Sherburne was identified under Criterion 3.a. 1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. Written and audio/visual plans, guides and instructions concerning the types of DRD's to be issued to Sherburne County emergency workers who are assigned duties inside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, MNGP REP Exercise. This Plan Issue remains open.

NRC HQ Document Control Desk Page 2 of 2 The Plan Issue, 39-13-3a1 -P-05 for the County of Wright was identified under Criterion 3.a. 1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. Written and audio/visual plans, guides and instructions concerning the types of DRD's to be issued to Wright County emergency workers who are assigned duties inside the 10-mile EPZ are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, MNGP REP Exercise. This Plan Issue remains open.

A detailed discussion and corrective actions taken for these Plan Issues can be found in Appendix "A" of this AAR /IP.

There were three ARCA's resolved by the State of Minnesota from the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Full Participation Plume Exercise that were previously demonstrated on July 10, 2012.

Based on the results of the July 23, 2013, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Minnesota and affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the MNGP 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 Minnesota site-specific to the MNGP granted on January 7, 1981, remains in effect.

Copies of this Report were transmitted to the DHS/FEMA National Office, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III Office, and the State of Minnesota.

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

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On July 23, 2013, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with the 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 August 23, 2011. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 7, 1981.

EPZ DESCRIPTION The MNGP was located within the city limits of Monticello, Minnesota. The plant consists of approximately 1,500 acres of land. The northwest and southwest sectors were mainly agricultural. The northeast and southeast sectors were urban and manufacturing. Part of this property is on the north bank of the Mississippi River in Sherburne County and part is on the south bank of Wright County. The northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis are about 30 miles southeast of the MNGP.

The 10-mile EPZ for the MNGP consisted of a circle with the utility at the center point. The EPZ extended 10-miles outward in all directions from the plant for the plume exposure pathway planning zone and 50 miles outward for the Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ). In the event of a serious accident, the plume exposure planning zone will be in the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation.

The population in the MNGP 10-mile EPZ is 71,713 (2012 Evacuation Time Estimate). This figure represents the permanent population in the municipalities and unincorporated areas located in the 10-mile EPZ.

There are numerous lakes in the 10-mile EPZ, which are used for recreational purposes. Parts of Lake Saint Marie Park, Sand Dunes State Park and Game Refuge are within the 10-mile EPZ.

The Mississippi River flows from the northwest to southeast through the 10-mile EPZ. The three 4

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant major highways passing through the area are Interstate 94, U.S. 10, and State Highways 25 and

55. Railroad access is available from Burlington Northern and NorthStar Railway. Major waterways are the Mississippi Scenic River and Crow River and the Elk River and Saint Francis River watersheds; however these waterways are not navigable. There are no major airports in the 10-mile EPZ.

The following Sub-Areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: 2, 5N, 5E, 5S, 5W, ION, 10E, lOSE, 10S, 1OSW, lOW and 1ONW.

The 50-mile IPZ for the MNGP has an estimated population of approximately 3,591,108 as of the year 2008. Approximately 90% reside in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. There are 22 counties in the 50-mile EPZ. They are: Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Ramsey, Renville, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Washington and Wright.

The DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Minnesota, the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and Sherburne and Wright Counties participated.

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 were evident during this exercise.

This Final Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities:

- Protective Actions for Schools for the St. Michael - Albertville, Buffalo and the Big Lake School Districts.

There were no Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Sherburne and Wright during this exercise.

There was one ARCA identified and corrected on the spot during this exercise for the Counties of Sherburne and Wright.

ISSUE NO.: 39-13-lel-P-06 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The current RAD FMT Standard Operating Guidelines (REP-1), rev 27, 4/12/2013, pages 7 through 9, describes Dosimetry issued to FMT's as consisting of one Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) and one Canberra UltraRadiac Electronic Personal Dosimeter (EPD). Attachment 5 - Sample Kit Inventory (dated Rev 25, 5/2009), page 44, however, describes Dosimetry equipment as including three dosimeter packs, each consisting of one TLD, one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one 0-20 R DRD, and one DRD charger.

Page 9 states that FMT personnel are to contact the Command Van if the EPD indicates 500 mR (half of the turn-back limit). The RAD Team Captain Guidelines (REP-2), revision 15, 6/7/2010, page 9, however, states that FMT personnel are to report dosimeter readings when the 0-200 mR DRD reaches 3/4 scale (150 mR).

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Canberra UltraRadiac EPDs were added to FMT equipment and 28

revision 15, 6/7/2010, page 9.

EFFECT: Confusion could result during equipment inventory, delaying FMT dispatch into the field, and for dosimeter reporting values.

RECOMMENDATION: Update both procedures to reflect current equipment inventory and reporting values.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION: The State of Minnesota is updating the Radiological Accident Deployment Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines to ensure that the proper equipment is identified throughout the document.

PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: l.e.1, 3.a.1, 4.a.3.

ISSUE NO.: 50-12-lel-A-10 ISSUE: The Ludlum 2241 radiation instrument with the 44-6 beta - gamma detector attached was only operationally checked on setting #1 to measure activity, but not initially operationally checked on setting #4 to measure exposure rate, nor did the RAD Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines indicate that the 44-6 detector be checked on both settings.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: As part of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise, the State of Minnesota the RAD FMT successfully demonstrated a source check on the Ludlum Model 2241-3 survey meter with the Model 44-6 detector on both activity and exposure rate settings.

29

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Corrective actions included a procedure change to the "Minnesota Radiological Emergency Preparedness RAD Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines (REP-1)",

Revision 27, dated April 12, 2013. Under Section K, "Ludlum 2241 Response Kit Setup and Checks" for the Model 44-6 Beta-Gamma probe, the procedure stated to perform checks for both Setting #1 (counts per minute) and Setting #4 (dose rate),

comparing each reading with the corresponding calibration label range on the Ludlum. If values fall outside this range, the procedure stated to notify the RAD Team Captain.

The RAD FMT demonstrated this source check. The Ludlum Model 2241-3 survey meter was connected to the Model 44-6 detector. The RAD FMT placed the detector to the attached one jICi Cs-137 source with the flap opened, and ensured readings were within the range specified on the attached sticker for both counts per minute (Setting #1) and mR/hour (Setting #4). The Ludlum Model 2241-3 survey meter was color coded to match the corresponding Model 44-6 detector. The meter was calibrated on April 22, 2013 with calibration due on April 22, 2014.

ISSUE NO.: 50-12-3al-A-1 1 ISSUE: The turn-back value is based on exposure rate, but the Standard Operating Guidelines instruct field team members to set their survey instrument to measure activity.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: As part of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise, the State of Minnesota RAD FMT #1 was provided with appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and managed radiological exposure in accordance with the State of Minnesota plans and procedures. The field team personnel periodically, and at the end of their mission read their dosimeters and recorded the readings on their "Personnel Exposure Control Forms". Field team members also maintained appropriate record-keeping for their use of potassium iodide.

Canberra UltraRadiac Electronic Personal Dosimeters have been added to the 30

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant equipment issued to the RAD teams. The Dose Alarm was verified as being set to alarm at one Roentgen (1 R). The Exposure Rate Low Alarm was set at 1 mR/hr and the Rate High Alarm was set at 100 mR/hr. If reached, an exposure rate of 100 mR/hr would cause the UltraRadiac to alarm and adequately alert the RAD team of reaching the withdrawal rate.

ISSUE NO.: 50-12-4a3-A-12 ISSUE: Team members "estimated" a 12 minute sampling time which was not a long enough sampling time to reach the target sampling volume of 10 cubic feet. Based on the device flow rate of 0.7 cubic feet per minute and the device correction factor of 1.01, the air sampling unit should have operated for 14 minutes and 8 seconds to obtain the target volume of 10 cubic feet.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: As part of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise, the State of Minnesota RAD FMT #1 made and recorded ambient radiation measurements at appropriate locations, and collected radioiodine and particulate samples. The field team moved to an appropriate low-background location, as specified in the plans and procedures, to determine whether any significant amount of radioactivity had been collected on the sampling media.

RADeCO H8 1 ODC air samplers had been added to the equipment issued to the RAD teams. The H181 ODC air sampler was programmed to collect a 10 cubic foot air sample, then shut off automatically. The RAD FMT team successfully demonstrated operation of the air sampler.

ISSUE NO.: 39-13-3al-A-02 CRITERION: The Offsite Response Organizations issue appropriate dosimetry, potassium iodide (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: The Sherburne County Radiological Officer (RO) and staff issued only one high-range 0-20 R Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) to each emergency worker assigned to duties inside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The high-range DRD's were issued during three separate briefings to County Public Works personnel, one Sheriff's Deputy and one State Patrol Officer who were assigned to traffic and access control duties. The workers were also issued written instructions ("Green Cards" - titled "Minnesota Radiological Emergency 33

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Preparedness Program Emergency Worker Exposure Briefing and Log") that required them to report when their DRD's reached 150 mR. The 0-20 R DRD issued to each worker could not be used to reliably measure an exposure of 150 mR (i.e.,

0.15 R). These cards also indicated that both high-range 0-20 R and low-range 0-200 mR DRD's were to be issued.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The RO did not issue both high and low range DRD's to emergency workers deployed to the 10-mile EPZ, even though the County had an adequate supply of low-range 0-200 mR, as well as high-range 0-20 R DRD's, and did not recognize that 0-20 R DRD's cannot be used to report low range readings, as was instructed on the "green card" issued to the workers. A training video developed by Minnesota Public Safety Homeland Security Emergency Management also indicated that both low and high and low range DRD's are issued. Instead, the RO strictly followed the Sherburne County RO Standard Operating Guidelines, which on Page 1 stated that dosimetry packets were to contain a 0-20 R DRD, and on Page 5 (Step 4) stated that at the General Emergency Emergency Classification Level "... all emergency personnel entering the evacuated area have appropriate dosimetry... ",

parenthetically specifying a 0-20 R DRD. The certified dosimetry inventory for Sherburne County indicated that the County had a sufficient quantity of both low range 0-200 mR and high-range 0-20 R DRD's to support anticipated emergency operations.

EFFECT: Issuing only high-range (0-20 R) DRD's to emergency personnel deployed inside the 10-mile EPZ would leave them incapable of monitoring low-range (0-200 mR) radiological exposures as was required.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On July 25, 2013, the State of Minnesota retrained Sheburne County radiological staff on the procedures for issuing dosimetry to emergency workers. The Sheburne County radiological staff successfully redemonstrated providing the correct dosimetry to an emergency worker (Deputy Sheriff) between 1030 and 1049 hours0.0121 days <br />0.291 hours <br />0.00173 weeks <br />3.991445e-4 months <br />. Both a low range 0-200 mR DRD and a high-range DRD 0-20 R were issued to the Deputy by the RO. The RO explained during the briefing that the low-range DRD was to be used for reporting when exposure reached 150 mR, and the high-range DRD would be used to report when exposure reached the turn-back limit of 1 R and pre-authorized limit of 3 R.

The emergency worker (Deputy Sheriff) was interviewed and he was aware of exposure turn-back readings of 1 R and the pre-authorized limit of 3 R.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant assigned duties inside the 10-mile EPZ are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise.

"Green Cards" - titled "Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Briefing and Log" - required emergency workers to report when a DRD reading of 150 mR was reached. However, the 0-20 R DRDs issued by County radiological staff could not be used to reliably measure an exposure of 150 mR (i.e., 0.15 R). The "Green Card" and Minnesota Public Safety Homeland Security Emergency Management training video titled "EW Briefing" provided instructions regarding the number and range of DRD's to be issued in concert with the County RO Standard Operating Guide. The County plan was inconsistent with the Standard Operating Guideline used by the County RO, whereby the "Green Card" explicitly identified both DRD's to be provided to the emergency worker while the SOG specified only high-range (0-20 R) DRD's.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The RO did not issue both high and low range DRD's to emergency personnel deployed to the 10-mile EPZ, even though the County had an adequate supply of low-range 0-200 mR DRD's, and did not recognize that 0-20 R DRD's cannot be used to report low range readings, as was instructed on the "Green Card" and in the Minnesota Public Safety Homeland Security Emergency Management training video titled "EW Briefing."

EFFECT: Wright County Emergency Workers were issued dosimetry that could not detect their turn back exposure limits (150mR) which could have resulted in unnecessary and/or excessive exposure to radiation.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On July 25, 2013, the State of Minnesota retrained Wright County radiological staff on the procedures for issuing dosimetry to emergency workers. The Wright County radiological staff successfully redemonstrated the issuing of dosimetry from 1000 to 1018 hours0.0118 days <br />0.283 hours <br />0.00168 weeks <br />3.87349e-4 months <br />. Following the training, in conjunction with a radiological briefing, both a low range 0-200 mR Direct Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a high-range DRD were issued to a Deputy Sheriff by the Radiological Officer (RO). The RO explained during the briefing that the low-range DRD was to be used for reporting when exposure reached 150 mR, and the high-range DRD would be used to report when exposure reached the pre-authorized limit of 3 R. The Deputy was subsequently interviewed by the Evaluator demonstrated that he was to receive both DRDs and was able to correctly articulate his exposure limits and which DRD would be used to monitor the reporting, turn back and maximum (pre-authorized) exposure limits.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant SECTION 4: CONCLUSION There were no Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Sherburne and Wright during this exercise.

There was one ARCA identified and corrected on the spot during this exercise for the Counties of Sherburne and Wright.

There was one Plan Issue each identified for the State of Minnesota and for the Counties of Sherburne and Wright during this exercise.

The Plan Issue, 39-13-lel-P-06 for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion L.e. 1, Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations. The current Radiological Accident Deployment Field Team Standard Operating Guidelines (REP-1), rev 27, 4/12/2013, pages 7 through 9, describes Dosimetry issued to Field Monitoring Teams as consisting of one Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) and one Canberra UltraRadiac Electronic Personal Dosimeter. Attachment 5 -

Sample Kit Inventory (dated Rev 25, 5/2009), page 44, however, describes Dosimetry equipment as including three dosimeter packs, each consisting of one TLD, one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one 0-20 R DRD and one DRD charger. This Plan Issue remains open.

The Plan Issue, 39-13-3al-P-03 for the County of Sherburne was identified under Criterion 3.a. 1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. Written and audio/visual plans, guides and instructions concerning the types of DRD's to be issued to Sherburne County emergency workers who are assigned duties inside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, MNGP REP Exercise. This Plan Issue remains open.

The Plan Issue, 39-13-3al-P-05 for the County of Wright was identified under Criterion 3.a. 1, Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. Written and audio/visual plans, guides and instructions concerning the types of DRD's to be issued to Wright County emergency workers who are assigned duties inside the 10-mile EPZ are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, MNGP REP Exercise. This Plan Issue remains open.

There were three ARCA's resolved by the State of Minnesota from the Prairie Island Nuclear 46

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Generating Plant Full Participation Plume Exercise that was previously demonstrated on July 10, 2012.

Based on the results of the July 23, 2013, the MNGP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Minnesota and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the MVNGP 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 Minnesota site-specific to the MNGP, granted on January 4, 1981, remain in effect.

'I--3Crtro:3 ISSUE: Written and audio/visual plans, guides and instructions concerning the types of DRD's to be issued to Sherburne County emergency workers who are assigned duties inside the 10-mile EPZ are inconsistent and lead to the issuing of inappropriate dosimetry during the July 23, 2013, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise.

"Green Cards" - titled "Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Briefing and Log" - required emergency workers to report when a DRD reading of 150 mR was reached. However, the 0-20 R DRDs issued by County radiological staff could not be used to reliably measure an exposure of 150 mR (i.e., 0.15 R). The "Green Card" and Minnesota Public Safety Homeland Security Emergency Management training video titled "EW Briefing" provided instructions regarding the number and range of DRD's to be issued in concert with the County RO Standard Operating Guide. The County plan was inconsistent with the Standard Operating Guideline used by the County RO, whereby the "Green Card" explicitly identified both DRD's to be provided to the emergency worker while the SOG specified only high-range (0-20 R) DRD's.

RECOMMENDATION: Reconcile plans, Standard Operating Guidelines and other written and audio/video instructions (e.g., "Green Cards" and the Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management "Emergency Worker Briefing") that are given to emergency workers to provide appropriate, clear, and consistent instructions regarding the number and range of DRD's to be issued to emergency workers while they are either in or outside of the 10-mile EPZ and the reporting requirements associated with each type of DRD.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION: Sherbume County will issue a 0-200 mR dosimeter and a 0-20 R dosimeter to any Emergency Worker that enters the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: Sherburne County will issue a 0-200 mR dosimeter and a 0-20 R dosimeter to any Emergency Worker that enters the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone.

State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. The EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e., evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS Plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC.

77

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant The following is a summary of the PAD and EAS process:

1. The Planning and Assessment Center (PAC) receives a recommendation from the utility.

2. The PAC makes an independent assessment of the data and develops its recommendation.

3. The EAS Message and corresponding Special News Bulletins are selected by the Planning Chief and communicated to the Operations Chief.

4. The Operations Chief gets concurrence on the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) from the risk counties.

5. The PAR is communicated to the Minnesota State Incident Manager (SIM)

6. The PAR is communicated to the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) where once approved, it becomes a Protective Action Decision (PAD).

7. The time that the sirens are sounded and the time the EAS is activated is determined by the SIM after the PAD has been approved by the GAR.

8. The approved PAD goes to the Operations Chief to coordinate these times with Wright and Sherburne counties via a conference call - the EAS message is the State's responsibility.

9. The sirens are sounded (simulated).

10. The EAS message is transmitted (simulated).

11. Special News Bulletins are sent out.

12. Media Briefings occur.

NOTE: The first PAR is pre-approved and does not require the Governor's approval, only the State Incident Manager's (SIM's) approval. All subsequent PARs require the Governor's or GAR's approval.

An EAS Writer (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encoder/decoder, which is automatically monitored by encoders/decoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather alert radios utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

EAS messages will contain basic information regarding the event. Additional information will be disseminated through the JIC using special news broadcasts and media releases.

Activation of sirens, EAS, weather radios and the broadcast of media messages will be simulated.

The State of Minnesota will be using various social media services (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) to notify the public, but these will not be evaluated.

Met conditions are as follows: A strong storm front extending from Canada to Nebraska will pass over the MNGP during the morning hours. NOAA weather radio indicates that the storm may produce strong leading edge winds and straight-line winds.

-0810 CRITICAL EAL INFORMATION: As the leading edge of a storm passes over MNGP a straight-line wind event occurs in the protected area. The Control Room Meteorological Data Recorder shows winds in excess of 100 mph. The exhaust structure from the #12 EDG (Emergency Diesel Generator) is damaged and security reports that part of muffler is lying on the ground behind the # 12 EDG room. No personnel have been injured.

-0815 Meteorological Conditions will return to normal with a wind direction from 225 +/- 70, southwest, at 9 +/- 3 mph. Temperature is in the mid 80's with noon time temperatures expected in the upper 80's. Stability class is D.

0810-0825 The Shift Manager should declare an ALERT based on EAL HA1.2, "Tornado or high winds GREATER THAN 100 mph with plant PROTECTED AREA boundary and resulting in VISIBLE DAMAGE to any plant structures / equipment (Table H-I) or Control Room indication of degraded performance of those systems. (Reference A.6)

The high wind value in EAL HA1.2 is based on an elevation 30 feet above the ground (- 10 meters). EAL HA1.2 is based on the USAR design basis sustained wind speed of 100 mph. Wind loads of this magnitude can cause damage to safety functions.

-0930 CRITICAL EAL INFORMATION: The failure of RPS and ATWS to lower power below 3.5% meets the threshold for declaring a SITE AREA EMERGENCY per EAL SS2.1.

0930-0945 The Station should declare a SITE AREA EMERGENCY based on EAL SS2.1.

Indications exist that automatic and manual scrams were NOT successful in reducing power to LESS THAN 3.5%.

-0943 The HPCI (High Pressure Coolant Injection) steam line leak starts. Main steam chase temperature will rise from normal values.

-0945 The HPCI steam line leak will result in receipt of alarm 3-B-56 (Hi Area Temp Steam Leak). The control room crew should enter procedure C.4-B.02.04.A (Steam Leak Outside of Primary Containment) and C.5-1300 (Secondary Containment Control). This will result in the crew evacuating the Rx bldg and closing the MSIVs.

Due to the location of the leak (HPCI steam line) closing the MSIVs will not isolate the leak. The crew may also isolate RWCU and RCIC.

-0950 The HPCI steam leak that has been occurring for the last few minutes will cause main steam chase temperature to exceed 212°F (greater than max safe per C.5-1300). When the control room crew attempts to isolate the leak the inboard steam isolation valve for HPCI (MO-2034) will fail OPEN.
