Dear NRC HQ:

Enclosed please find the Final Exercise Report for the Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Plume Pathway Exercise which was held on May 22, 2012.

The State of New Jersey and local emergency response organizations successfully demonstrated the capability to implement their off-site radiological emergency response plans and procedures, based on the evaluation of this exercise by the FEMA RII Regional Assistance Committee and a team of Federal evaluators. Three new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified during the exercise, and one planning issue. Two of the ARCAs were corrected during a re-demonstration on August 14, 2012.

The remaining outstanding issues will be evaluated to ensure that they have been corrected at the next full-scale exercise in May of 2014.

Therefore, we find that state and local preparedness is adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Salem Hope Creek NGS and will provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Rebecca Thomson, Chair of the RII Regional Assistance Committee at (212) 680-8509 or William Cullen, Acting RAC Chair at (212) 680-8505.

Sincerely yours; J ome Hatfield egional Administrator FEMA Region II Enclosure cc:

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On May 22, 2012 an exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station (HC NGS). The exercise was evaluated by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region II. The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate and 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 most recent previous federally - evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on May 18, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise for Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station was conducted on April 8, 198 1.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of New Jersey, Salem County, Cumberland County, Salem City, and the Townships of Elsinboro, Lower Alloways Creek, Mannington, Pennsville, Quinton, Greenwich, and Stow Creek who participated in this exercise.

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 by all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no deficiencies identified as a result of this exercise. Five ARCAs from the May 22,2012 exercise were closed during the August 14, 2012 redemonstration. Three new ARCA's and one planning issue were identified during the May 22, 2012 exercise, two of these ARCA's have been resolved. Two prior ARCA's and two prior planning issues remain open.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region II Office evaluated the plume portion of the exercise on May 22, 2012.

This provided the ability to assess the capabilities of the local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures.

These plans and procedures are designed to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Hope Creek Nuclear Power Plant. The purpose of this report is to represent the results of the findings of performance for the offsite response organizations during a simulated radiological emergency.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). Exercise Objectives and Capabilities / REP Criteria selected to be evaluated are discussed in the Homeland Security Exercise and Evacuation Program (HSEEP) document, Hope Creek Exercise Plan dated May 7 2012, Extent-of Play Agreement (EOP) Rev 6 Appendix E.

- Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination MAC) for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a preplanned or no-notice event. EOC management includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, state, and federal EOCs; coordination of public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.

• Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.

After Action Report/improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station

- Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place: Is the capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals), and/or the organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population (and companion animals) to areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.

• Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire, and EMS.

• Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources of contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.

• Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the American Red Cross (ARC), or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs 11

After Action Report/lmprovement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Control Room indication of DEGRADED PERFORMANCE of a Safety System with a Plant Structure containing Safe Shutdown Systems or Components.

NOTE: An Alert would have been declared at Salem due to the same event. For the purpose of this Exercise, assume the Salem SM did declare an Alert and the Salem ERO is staffing their ERFs. In addition, assume all expected actions are being taken by Salem.

The EC will implement ECG Attachment 2 for the Alert Declaration. The emergency response organization (ERO) callout system will be activated resulting in staffing of all emergency response facilities (ERFs).

NOTE: Emergency Coordinator may implement Accountability of the protected area and Evacuation of the owner controlled area at this time. (Accountability will be limited to exercise participants and evacuations will be simulated.)

5.1.1 By approximately 1620, the Operational Support Center (OSC) should be staffed and activated.

Control Room Operations will commence a Unit Shutdown in accordance with applicable procedures. At 1700, the 10K 107 Service Air Compressor will trip due to a broken oil line.

This event is recoverable. By 1720 or sooner, the Technical Support Center (TSC) should be activated and the Emergency Coordinator function transferred to the Emergency Duty Officer (EDO). At 1720, while performing a Unit Shutdown, complete loss of Stator Water Coolant occurs. Upon inserting a manual Scram as directed by procedure, the operator observed only half of the rods inserted. Alternate Rod Insertion fails to insert the remaining control rods.

Reactor power remains > 4% power. In addition, upon SLC initiation, "B" SLC pump trips when started. Also the Mode Switch fails in the RUN Mode. SLC and Mode Switch problems are recoverable. By 1735 or sooner, a SITE AREA EMERGENCY should be declared by the Emergency Coordinator(SM/EDO/ERM based on: SITE AREA EMERGENCY EAL 553.1.

An automatic scram failed to shutdown the reactor as indicated by reactor power > 4% AND Manual scram actions taken at the reactor control console (mode switch, manual scram push buttons, manual ARI actuation). DO NOT shutdown the reactor as indicated by reactor power >

4%. The EC will implement ECG Attachment 3 for the Site Area Emergency Declaration. If not done previously, the EC should implement Accountability of the protected area and Evacuation of the owner controlled area. (Accountability will be limited to Exercise participants and 14

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station evacuations will be simulated.)

At - 1745, all Control Rods are verified full-in after implementation of A TVVS EOPs. Reactor is shutdown with indicated power < 4%.

At 1800, an oil leak from the Main Seal Oil Pump results in a fire at the H2 Seal Oil Skid in the Turbine Building. Fire Department responses accordingly and extinguishes the fire. By - 1815, if not already done, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) will be activated and the Emergency Response Manager (ERM) will assume the role of the EC. At 1900, an Earthquake aftershock occurs (0.1 g or - 5.5 on the Richter scale) which causes a large break LOCA. "A" LPCI pump trips upon start. "0" LPCI Injection Valve, BC-HV-FOI7D Breaker trips upon valve opening and Core Spray Injection Valve, BE-HV-FO05A fails to open. In addition, all PCPs trip on low Hotwell level due to suction line break to PCPs. RPV Level drops to below Top of Active Fuel (TAF) and is being maintained above bottom of active fuel with remaining ECCS pumps.

5.1.2 By 1915, a 12-Point GENERAL EMERGENCY should be declared by the EC (ERM) based on the loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier and loss of the RCS Barrier and potential loss of the Containment Barrier.

GENERAL EMEGENCY EAL FB1.L, Primary Containment Flooding is required as indicated by RPV level CANNOT be restored and maintained above

• 185 in.

AND EAL RB1.L, RPV level CANNOT be restored and maintained above 161 in.

OR EAL RB2.L, Drywell pressure > 1.68 psig due to RCS leakage AND EAL CB I.P, Primary Containment Flooding is required as indicated by RPV level CANNOT be restored and maintained above 185 in. (Loss of Fuel Clad and RCS Barriers and Potential Loss of Containment Barrier = 12 pts.) The EC will implement ECG Attachment 4 for the General Emergency Declaration. A Default PAR must also be made. At - 1930, operators are able to inject with additional ECCS and RPV Level is capable of being maintained between Level 3

(+12.5") and Level 8 (+54"). As a result of the core being uncovered and due to earthquake 15

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station damage, cladding failure results in DAPA reading increases to > 4000 Rem/hr.

At 2000, a 2nd Earthquake aftershock occurs (0.02g or - 4.5 on the Richter Scale) resulting in Torus water level decreasing. The "C" Core Spray suction line between the suction valve and pump will shear. As a result, the "A" Core Spray Loop will be breached, allowing Reactor Coolant to discharge directly into the "C" Core Spray Room. Attempts to close the "C" Core Spray suction valve (BE-HVFOOl C) will be unsuccessful. The break location results in a radiological release pathway from the Drywell, to the Reactor Building, and out the Filtration Recirculation Ventilation System (FRVS). A filtered, monitored release above the Hope Creek Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (HCODCM)/Federal Limits is now in progress.

Monitored Release Path: RPV >) Core Spray "C" suction line breach >> Reactor Building >> FRVS Vent Fan >> Outside Atmosphere By 2015, the EOF Staff will perform a PAR Upgrade - a 10-mile keyhole evacuation type PAR - based on a 13-Point GENERAL EMERGENCY with a loss of all 3 Fission Product Barriers or radiological based PAR due to exceeding PAGs at> 5 miles per NC.EP-EP.ZZ-0404, PAR Upgrades.

5.1.3 PAR UPGRADE FOR GENERAL EMEGENCY DUE TO EITHER:

Loss of Containment Barrier per CB3.L, UNISOLABLE leakage outside primary containment (after isolation from the Control Room has or should have been attempted) AND Direct.downstream pathway to the environment exists, OR, per CB6.L, EC Judgment OR Radiological PAR due to exceeding PAGs at> 5 miles The EC will implement ECG Attachment 4 for the PAR Upgrade Declaration. PAR will be upgraded due to Barrier based and/or Dose Assessment based consideration Approximately 2100, when an OSC team is sent to investigate source of leakage, one of the OSC team member complains of chest pains and when trying to regain his balance, bangs his forearm against a stanchion, breaking his arm. OSC team members were able to help the injured person get back to the Control Point where EMTs respond accordingly.

At 2130, a wind shift occurs that will cause the EOF Staff to perform a PAR upgrade.

At 2145, a Grassing event occurs at Service Water degrading the "A" Loop of Service Water.

OSC personnel are dispatched to investigate. By no later than 2245, the radiological release into the Reactor Building will be terminated by the closing of "C" Core Spray Suction Valve (1 16

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station BEHV-FOOI C).

The suction valve will go closed for scenario control purposes at 2245, if it has not already been closed by the OSC repair team. The radiological release from the Reactor Building into the environment will gradually decrease throughout the remaining of the exercise, but will continue above the HCODCM/Federal Limits until the termination of the exercise. This is because the radiological release products that are still bottled-up in the Reactor Building being vented at a rate of 9000 cfm.

Starting at 2300, the exercise may be terminated. The time for the actual termination of the exercise will be dependent on when all of the ERF and Offsite Stakeholder exercise objectives have been met.

b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 5.b.1.

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-5bI-A-02 CRITERION: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and news media in a timely manner.

CONDITION: The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center (ROIC) received information from Salem County EOC about two traffic impediments impacting evacuation routes. Staff at the ROIC entered the information into E-Team but neglected to inform the Emergency News Center about traffic diversion routes affecting two evacuation routes.

After no further action was taken, a Mission Coordination representative was asked by the evaluator if the new diverted route would be communicated to the Emergency News Center to disseminate the new route to the public. The response was "no", and the evacuating public would be informed by the posted signs and the law enforcement at the Traffic Control Points.

The REP PROGRAM MANUAL(Rev. 2012, p. 111-46) states that "OROs must demonstrate the capability, as required by the scenario, to identify and take appropriate actions concerning impediments to evacuation. The impediment must occur during the evacuation and be on an evacuation route such that re-routing of traffic is required, triggering decision-making and coordination with the JIC to communicate the alternate route to evacuees leaving the area."

POSSIBLE CAUSE: SOP-906 doesn't specify that the Emergency News Center and 26

After Action Report/improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station the EAS radio station should be notified about evacuation route diversions.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, J. 10.k; REP Program Manual (Rev. April 2012); New Jersey State REPR, SOP 906 EFFECT: Information regarding the traffic impediments and the updated evacuation routes were not delivered to the ENC and radio station (simulated). It wouldn't be until the evacuating public reached the traffic control point that they would know about the detour, which could cause unnecessary delays and confusion.

RECOMMENDATION: Update SOP-906 to include procedures to inform the Emergency News Center and the EAS radio station of any alternate routes that are established.

PRIOR ISSUES - UNRESOLVED: 2.a. 1.

ISSUE NO.: 02-10-2al-P-06 ISSUE: The State SOP-305, Rev 20., June 2007, states, "...the exposure of emergency workers performing missions critical to reducing the collective dose to the general public will be controlled on the basis of Self Reading Dosimeter [SRD]

readings. Adjustments for CEDE [Committed Effective Dose Equivalent] which estimates internal dose] will be made to exposure records post-accident on the basis of exposure assessments." However, within the State SOPs, the units for the New Jersey State administrative dose limits are not consistent and are incorrectly applied to SRD readings. The SRDs read out in units of roentgen (R) and represent an estimate of external exposure only. The SRDs have no capability to estimate internal dose.

Within the State SOPs, the New Jersey State administrative dose limit is expressed as 1.25 rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent which is external dose plus internal dose.

27

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Other places in the SOPs, it is expressed in roentgen. For example, Attachment 305-2, Rev. 20, June 2007, GUIDANCE ON DOSE LIMITS FOR WORKERS PERFORMING EMERGENCY SERVICES, states that the New Jersey administrative dose limit is 1.25 R, but the notes state, "The dose limit is the sum of the external effective dose equivalent and the committed effective dose equivalent

[internal]." The external effective dose equivalent and the committed effective dose equivalent should be expressed in units of rem not R. Attachment 901-3, Rev. 5, October 2007, is also entitled GUIDANCE ON DOSE LIMITS FOR WORKERS PERFORMING EMERGENCY SERVICES and lists the New Jersey State administrative dose limit as 1.25 rem which includes internal plus external doses.

However, an SRD cannot estimate the internal contribution to dose.

REASON UNRESOLVED: The inconsistency in the use of units of radiation dose within the State of New Jersey SOPs continues. The State SOP-305, Rev 23., June 2012, page 2, states, "...the exposure of emergency workers performing missions critical to reducing the collective dose to the general public will be controlled on the basis of Electronic or Self Reading Dosimeter [ESRD/SRD] readings. Adjustments for CEDE [Committed Effective Dose Equivalent] which estimates internal dose]

will be made to exposure records post-accident on the basis of exposure assessments." However, within the State SOPs, the units for the New Jersey State administrative dose limits are not consistent and are incorrectly applied to ESRD/SRD readings. Both the ESRD and the SRD used by the State read out in units of roentgen (R) and represent an estimate of external exposure only. The ESRD/SRDs have no capability to estimate internal dose. Inconsistent SOP examples are:

1. SOP-901, Attachment 901-3, Rev 7, April 2011, page 16, lists correctly the guidance on dose limits for workers performing emergency services in units of rem.

The note associated with the dose limits states, "The dose limit is the sum of the external effective dose equivalent and the committed effective dose equivalent

[internal]... from exposure and intake during an emergency situation." This is consistent with their reference, MANUAL OF PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDES AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR NUCLEAR INCIDENTS, EPA 400-R 001, 1992 (EPA-400).

2. SOP-305, Attachment 305-2, Rev 23, April 2012, page 1, is identical to Attachment 901-3 except for the dose units listed in Attachment 305-2 are in units of R. Units of 28

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station R are correctly applied to external exposure only, but dose limits refer to the sum of internal and internal dose.

3. SOP-405, Attachment-i, Rev 13, January 2012 is identical to SOP-407, Table-407.1, Rev 9, June 2009, page 9. Both identify the emergency worker exposure limit column heading as "Dose limit (remn)." The dose limits listed represent external dose plus internal dose and they are consistent with the sited reference, EPA-400.

However, both tables list the individual dose limits in units of R, which does not include internal dose and the units of R is inconsistent with EPA-400.

4. New Jersey State Radiological Emergency Plan,Section IV, Rev 15, December 2010, page IV-30 states, "Emergency workers must notify a Department of Health representative of any exposures in excess of 1.25 Rem." The emergency workers cannot determine their internal plus external dose of 1.25 rem. They can only report their external exposure in units of R as read on their ESRD/SRD.

The licensee data was not used and the second (Team A) air sample result was not received in the EOF. Also, there was no attempt to identify the nuclides present on the particulate filter from the licensee air sample at El. This could be significant given the high count rate reported.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The dose assessment staff used the field sampling results to confirm which of the three dose projections available was 29

However, they did not conduct surveys during and after sampling. Although a Ludlum Model 3 with 44-6 open/closed window probe, Attachment 302-10 Rev 28, February 2010, does not require any additional readings to be taken.

REASON UNRESOLVED: The revised SOP-302, Att 310 (4/12) still does not require measurements during and after an air sample. Closed window readings were taken at waist level during the air sampling, but this was not reflected in the revised procedure.

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-3bI-A-10 CRITERION: KI and appropriate instructions are made available in case a decision to recommend use of KI is made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of KI for institutionalized individuals and the general public is maintained.

CONDITION: During the Sep. 27, 2011 Oyster Creek exercise, the FCP Radio Operator announced at 1140 over the radio that all field monitoring team members could ingest KI. However, based on discussions with the field monitoring team evaluators, State Field Monitoring Team B was the only team that heard the transmission. The Radio Operator did not ask for acknowledgement of the transmission and therefore, the message was not repeated and State Field Monitoring Team A and the Ocean County Field Monitoring Team did not have the opportunity to consider ingesting KI.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failure of the Radio Operator to request acknowledgement of the radio transmission that all field teams could ingest KI.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654: J. 10.c. SOP-206 (Forward Command Post)

EFFECT: The field teams working in the EPZ could have been exposed to a plume containing radioactive iodine, and without ingesting KI, the field team members have the potential to exceed their dose limits.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: During the May 22, 2012 Salem Hope Creek exercise the FCP received notification by facsimile and commercial telephone at 1913 from the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) that a General Emergency (GE) had been declared at 1912 and that emergency workers were authorized to ingest KI. The Radio Operator informed the FMT's at 1917 by radio 33

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-1cl-A-01 CRITERION: Key personnel with leadership roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible.

CONDITION: The Salem County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) used the "Collabit" web-based information system as a means of sharing information with the risk municipalities within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Collabit allows users to open and view documents directly. However, at 1645 the system became inoperable and attempts to reconfigure and restart it had limited success. The system failed again at 1718 and use of the system was terminated. Salem County subsequently relied on faxing information to the municipalities as the primary means of notification, with a follow up phone call to each location. However, the 34

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station overloaded system caused delays in receipt of the faxes in the municipalities.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Failure of the web-based messaging system and use of a second tier backup fax machine system.

Follow up phone calls were made to the six municipalities but not logged according to recipient.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654 - A.2.a EFFECT: Lack of critical protective action information to the municipalities could delay implementation and thus affect public health and safety.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Salem County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully re-demonstrated the ability the to communicate timely and accurate information between itself the State of New Jersey and the risk municipalities of Pennsville, Quinton, Salem City, Elsinboro, Mannington, and Lower Alloways Creek on Aug. 14, 2012. Salem County Office of Emergency Management wrote a new Message and Communications Plan describing a series of procedures and forms that standardize the methods used to document communications between Salem County, State of New Jersey and the six risk municipalities using email as the primary means of communications followed by a confirmation phone call. Thus ARCA 02-12-l.c. I -AO1 is resolved.

This corrects ARCA number 02 1 c l-A-0I for direction and control for Salem County EOC issued during the May 22, 2012, Hope Creek Full Scale Plume Phase Exercise.

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-1el-A-07 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: There appears to be insufficient dosimetry for the municipalities' Emergency Workers in Salem County. According to the plan, dosimetry kits will be distributed from the Salem County EOC to the municipalities at some time after an 35

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Alert. There was some dosimetry pre-positioned for the exercise. According to the inventory list this was 10 electronic dosimeters, and 4KI tablets. Salem City has a police force of 24, the Fire Department has 40 volunteers, the Fenwick Ambulance Service has 25 members, and additional dosimetry is needed for the Department of Public Works workers. The Salem City EOC staff could be covered with one area dosimeter. Thus, there could be somewhat in excess of 90 dosimeters needed for Salem City. According to the Salem County inventory list the County has 93electronic dosimeters and 100 0-200mR and 0-20R direct read dosimeters (DRDs).

However, the inventory indicates the DRDs are for County emergency workers. This leaves 93 electronic dosimeters for the 6 Salem County municipalities in the EPZ. As Salem City could need more than 93 by itself, there do not appear to be enough dosimeters available.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Because the dosimetry is kept at the county and not distributed there seems to be insufficent dosimetry available. It appears there was not a proper determination of actual municipality needs.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654 J. 1Oa,b,e;Procedure 405 New Jersey State RERP EFFECT: Not having sufficient dosimetry could result either in sending out emergency workers who could not determine whether they had exceeded their dose limit, putting them at risk, or in delaying an activity until someone with a dosimeter was available. All of these possibilities could put the public at risk.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The basis for allocation of dosimeters in New Jersey is founded upon mission assignments to a particular municipality, not on the number of emergency workers located in a municipality. It is reasonable to conclude that in the interest of keeping exposures to a minimum that only those emergency workers required to implement the plan will be present during any operational period. Additional emergency workers would be called up as necessary to meet unforeseen contingencies and additional dosimeters can be obtained by the municipalities from the County, or if need be, the State.

The State Office of Emergency Management began issuing electronic dosimeters in 2008. The Salem County Office of Emergency Management in 2008 assessed their 36

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station missions in the County and municipalities supporting the Plan and requested 83 electronic dosimeters. This number was increased at a request from the County in 2010 to 103 electronic dosimeters. It must be noted that Salem County retains 200 dosimeter pairs for use at the Reception Centers and the Emergency Worker Decontamination Center. Therefore Salem County has a combined total of 303 electronic and direct reading dosimeter. This should be adequate to supply the missions in the Plan. Additional dosimeters are available from the State OEM.

The methodology for determining the number of dosimeters based upon missions is as follows. The County must supply 10 dosimeters each for two (2) reception centers (the second reception center doubles as an emergency worker decontamination center). The County supports bus transportation for school evacuation and transit dependent populations which requires 51 dosimeters. The number of dosimeters allocated to each municipality was determined thusly. A single dosimeter was assigned to the EOC (if within the 10-mile EPZ), one (1) dosimeter for each dismounted traffic control post, one (1) dosimeter for each vehicle that may be required for MS-1, and one dosimeter for each siren located in a particular municipality.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Impediment #1: At 1932 the EOC was notified by the City of Salem that there was a roadway obstruction due to the collapse of an overhead structure on Griffith Street at the Anchor Glass Company, and that traffic was being diverted to Fifth and Griffith Streets by the Salem City Police Department and the Sheriffs Department. At 2012 the Prosecutor's Office Representative reported that law enforcement personnel from the Prosecutor's Office were going to relieve the Salem City police officers at the Griffith Street traffic diversion so that they could return to their patrol duties. At 2121 the EOC was notified by Salem City that the Griffith Street obstruction could not be cleared and that the traffic diversion would remain in place.

Impediment #2: At 2033 the EOC was notified by the Pennsville EMC that the Salem Lighthouse had collapsed onto Lighthouse Road and that the Pennsville Highway Department had been dispatched to clear debris. At 2053 the EOC was notified by the Pennsville EMC that a traffic diversion had been established around the lighthouse collapse. The diversion route was as follows: Fort Mott Road to Route 49 eastbound to Route 45 (in Salem City) northbound to the reception center. He also advised that detour traffic was being controlled by the Pennsville Police Department and the Pennsville Public Works Department. At 2143 the Pennsville EMC notified the EOC that the Lighthouse Road obstruction had been cleared at 2104.

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-lcl-A-08 CRITERION: Key personnel with leadership roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible.

CONDITION: The Elsinboro Township Emergency Operations Center Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) did not adequately monitor incoming facsimile messages.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: According to the State of New Jersey Radiological Emergency Response Plan; Annex A; Appendix 1.1, Elsinboro Township, Table -1.1-2, Emergency Facility Communications Primary/Alternate Contact and Method of Communications, the primary means of communication with Salem County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are: 1) Dedicated Telephone, 2) Commercial Telephone, 3) Radio. However, during the May 22, 2012, Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Exercise, Elsinboro Township EMC was advised by Salem County EOC to utilize the computer system "Collabit" for primary messaging. At 1718 hours0.0199 days <br />0.477 hours <br />0.00284 weeks <br />6.53699e-4 months <br />, the "Collabit" system malfunctioned and shut down. Salem County EOC advised Elsinboro Township to utilize email and fax for receiving primary communications. Elsinboro Township EOC received messages via fax and email from Salem EOC; however, 8-10 fax messages came into the EOC at once bogging down the Emergency Management Coordinator. The Emergency Management Coordinator did not read each message thoroughly, only scanning them for important information. In doing so, the EMC missed receiving notification of the "heads up" siren, "heads up" EAS Message, the initial siren and EAS message.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654 FEMA REP-I E. 1, F. 1; State of NJ RERP, Annex A, App. 1.1 A, Appendix 1.1, Elsinboro Township Table 1.1-2.

EFFECT: As a result of overlooking the notification of the initial sounding of the sirens and the initial EAS message, Elsinboro Township was unaware of the initial siren system activation. During an interview, the EMC stated that if he had heard the sirens sound, he would have made a phone call to the Salem County EOC to confirm the sounding of the sirens and subsequent Emergency Alert System message. Salem County EOC would have then been made aware of the missing or overlooked notification form.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Elsinboro Emergency Operation Center (EOC) leadership successfully demonstrated the ability to provide direction and control for their part in the response operation of the Hope Creek Re-demonstration exercise held on August 14, 2012.

The Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) and the Deputy EMC supervised the response operation and provided direction and control to the Elsinboro EOC staff, which included 2 Elsinboro Township Committee members, the Town Mayor serving as the Public Information Officer, and 2 CERT members working as (1) a Telephone/Message Logger, and (2) a Radio Operator.

The EMC and his Deputy gave regular staff briefings as information came into Elsinboro EOC. All telephone calls and/or messages were logged on a "Message Log and/or Telephone Operator's Log." These new forms allowed County and Municipal officials to track receipt of and responses to all messages. The information was then disseminated to the appropriate staff, and displayed on a large screen for EOC staff members viewing. Elsinboro leadership ensured that all action items or requests for them were processed and completed in a timely manner.

Elsinboro, Office of Emergency Management, and Emergency Operation Plan Annexes were available for all staff.

All activities were based on the plans and procedures and completed as they would have been in an actual emergency except as noted in the extent of play agreement.

It was logged, but not adequately reviewed. At 1659, the EOC received Press Release Number: 1, which mentioned the Alert status. The EMC briefed the ECL 45

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (PEP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station update.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Pennsville EOC originally began working on the "Collabit" internet-based incident message system with Salem County EOC and other municipalities. This system became unreliable, and Salem County instructed everyone to discontinue use. While issues were arising with Collabit, the EOC received an Initial Contact Message Form fax at 1626. The message was logged and recorded, but not thoroughly reviewed by the EMC. This message informed the EOC that HCNGS was at an Alert ECL. The switch from Collabit to fax machine contributed to some confusion and the missed message. Additionally, the fax machine is noted as backup to the telephone (primary mode of communication) per the plan. However, the fax machine was used as a primary mode of communication throughout the exercise.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654; E.2;NJRERP, Annex A, Pennsville Twp.

EFFECT: The delayed notification of an Alert or higher ECL to the EOC could contribute to delayed response and implementation of protective actions that affect emergency workers and the general public.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: During the August 14th, 2012 remedial demonstration the Pennsville Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) had the primary responsibility for direction and control. The EMC was assisted during the exercise by two deputies. The EMC provided information and instructions to staff through regular and timely briefings. Briefings were conducted as plant conditions warranted and generally occurred after each message was received from the Salem County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). All messages were numbered and maintained in a message log. Messages were distributed to appropriate staff in a timely manner. Each of the participating staff members followed their procedures and checklists identified in the plan.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: According to the Quinton Township Radiological Emergency Response Plan the primary means of communication with Salem County Emergency Operation Center (EOC) is the telephone. However, during the May 22, 2012 Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Exercise, Quinton Township was advised via the 47

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station Salem County EOC to utilize the computer system "Collabit" for primary messages.

At 1718hrs, the Collabit system malfunctioned and shut down. Salem County EOC advised Quinton Township to utilize email and fax for receiving primary communications. Quinton Township EOC received messages via fax only (no email) from Salem EOC; however, 8-10 messages came into the EOC all at once. The Emergency Management Coordinator did not read each message thoroughly, only scanning them. In doing so, the EMC missed receiving notification of the "heads up" siren, "heads up" EAS Message, I st siren, and 1 st EAS message.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654; E. 1 and F. 1; NJRERP, Annex A, Quinton Township.

EFFECT: As a result of overlooking the notification of siren and EAS messages, Quinton Township was unaware of the siren system activation. During an interview, the EMC stated that had he heard the sirens sound, a phone call would have been made from Quinton Township EOC to Salem County EOC to confirm. They would have then been made aware of the missed notification.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Quinton Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located at New Street, Quinton, New Jersey. During a re-demonstration (August 14, 2012), they successfully cleared issue 02-12-1c l-A-04.

Quinton Deputy Emergency Manager adequately monitored incoming messages via email, telephones and fax machine, provided staff with a brief synopsis of the messages, and then logged them on the whiteboard ensuring everyone was always up to date on the events. The Deputy Emergency Manager was fully aware of the emergency classification levels and all events that occurred during the exercise. He read through all messages and understood the content. The EOC staff was continously updated and briefed. They all knew their positions and jobs in the EOC and performed them very well.

ISSUE NO.: 02-12-3al-A-05 48

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station CRITERION: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, 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 Quinton Emergency Operation Center (EOC) did not have adequate supplies of potassium iodide to support emergency response operations at the facility.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Quinton Township EOC is responsible for issuing KI to emergency workers in Quinton Township. At 1949 the Salem County EOC notified Quinton Township EOC to "remind all workers KI can now be taken please follow SOP 405 and document ingestion time all workers continue to monitor dosimetry".

The Quinton Township Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) was confused by this instruction to take KI prior to the General Emergency announcement and any indication of release. The EMC initiated a phone call to Salem County EOC for further clarification. The EMC was told that due to the degrading situation Salem County EOC is issuing this notice as a precautionary action to those emergency workers in the field. At this time the Quinton Township EOC did not have any emergency workers in the field and the EMC decided to continue steady operations without ingesting KI. While the EMC was making this decision the Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT) member responsible for the radiological equipment informed the EMC that the EOC only had 4 KI tablets for the entire township. A phone call was made to Salem County EOC to notify them of the problem; however, no further steps to obtain additional KI were taken.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. I Planning Standard J.10.e; NJ RERP, SOP 405 and Annex A, Quinton Township EFFECT: The Quinton Township EOC did not have sufficient quantities of KI to support emergency operations. Therefore Quinton Township emergency workers had an undue risk of exposure to radiation.

49

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station RECOMMENDATION: The Quinton Township EOC received a message from the Salem County EOC at 1818 requesting all EOCs to ensure they have enough supplies in the worker protection kits to all emergency workers. When this message was received it should have been an indication to check the quantity of supplies to see if it was sufficient to cover all emergency workers in Quinton Township. It is recommended that as soon as the facility is declared operational and fully staffed that the radiological officer in charge of KI take note of how much is needed to ensure they are properly stocked.

CONDITION: An internet based program was used initially to follow events and interact with the Salem County EOC. The program used was "Collabit" and crashed at 1648. The program was never effectively restored during the exercise. The fax was used extensively to receive hard copy, which became overloaded and failed to deliver important messages in a timely manner. Salem County did not precede or follow up important faxes with a telephone call, as specified in the plan, and Salem City did not query the county when they did not receive information promptly. Therefore, response to the incident was delayed.

50

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/improvement Plan Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station POSSIBLE CAUSE: Not having a prompt fallback system when the internet system failed, resulted in relying on the fax machine, which is known to have capacity issues.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 F1.2;NJ RERP, Annex A, Salem City.

EFFECT: The delays could have led to failure to evacuate all the public in a timely manner.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Salem County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully re-demonstrated the ability the to communicate timely and accurate information between itself the State of New Jersey and the risk municipalities of Pennsville, Quinton, Salem City, Elsinboro, Mannington, and Lower Alloways Creek on Aug. 14, 2012. Salem County Office of Emergency Management wrote a new Message and Communications Plan describing a series of procedures and forms that standardize the methods used to document communications between Salem County, State of New Jersey and the six risk municipalities using email as the primary means of communications followed by a confirmation phone call.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Not having the special needs included in the survey compiled by Salem County and sent to municipalities.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 J. 1O.c.d.g EFFECT: Due to the voluntary evacuation of special needs individuals well before the release, there was no impact from this issue during this exercise. However, if time were critical this delay in determining the specific needs could cause problems.

Additionally, if the internet were to go down there would be no way to ascertain what needs the people have and what resources the EOC needs to dispatch.

RECOMMENDATION: The Quinton Township EOC received a message from the Salem County EOC at 1818 requesting all EOCs to ensure they have enough supplies in the worker protection kits to all emergency workers. When this message was received it should have been an indication to check the quantity of supplies to see if it was sufficient to cover all emergency workers in Quinton Township. It is recommended that as soon as the facility is declared operational and fully staffed that the radiological officer in charge of KI take note of how much is needed to ensure they are properly stocked.

ý Issile Ntimber: 02-10-2-al-P-06 Criterion: 2aýl ISSUE: The State SOP-305, Rev 20., June 2007, states, "...the exposure of emergency workers performing missions critical to reducing the collective dose to the general public will be controlled on the basis of Self Reading Dosimeter [SRD] readings. Adjustments for CEDE [Committed Effective Dose Equivalent] which estimates internal dose] will be made to exposure records post-accident on the basis of exposure assessments." However, within the State SOPs, the units for the New Jersey State administrative dose limits are not consistent and are incorrectly applied to SRD readings. The SRDs read out in units of roentgen (R) and represent an estimate of external exposure only. The SRDs have no capability to estimate internal dose.

Within the State SOPs, the New Jersey State administrative dose limit is expressed as 1.25 rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent which is external dose plus internal dose. Other places in the SOPs, it is expressed in roentgen.

For example, Attachment 305-2, Rev. 20, June 2007, GUIDANCE ON DOSE LIMITS FOR WORKERS PERFORMING EMERGENCY SERVICES, states that the New Jersey administrative dose limit is 1.25 R, but the notes state, "The dose limit is the sum of the external effective dose equivalent and the committed effective dose equivalent [internal]." The external effective dose equivalent and the committed effective dose equivalent should be expressed in units of rem not R. Attachment 901-3, Rev. 5, October 2007, is also entitled GUIDANCE ON DOSE LIMITS FOR WORKERS PERFORMING EMERGENCY SERVICES and lists the New Jersey State administrative dose limit as 1.25 rem which includes internal plus external doses. However, an SRD cannot estimate the internal contribution to dose.

RECOMMENDATION: Review State SOPs and attachments to assure that the units applied to the emergency worker dose limit are appropriate and consistent.

Salem Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan Isu N m e:0 125lA0 rtc iol ISSUE: The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center (ROIC) received information from Salem County EOC about two traffic impediments impacting evacuation routes. Staff at the ROIC entered the information into E-Team but neglected to inform the Emergency News Center about traffic diversion routes affecting two evacuation routes.

After no further action was taken, a Mission Coordination representative was asked by the evaluator if the new diverted route would be communicated to the Emergency News Center to disseminate the new route to the public.

The response was "no", and the evacuating public would be informed by the posted signs and the law enforcement at the Traffic Control Points.

The REP PROGRAM MANUAL(Rev. 2012, p. 111-46) states that "OROs must demonstrate the capability, as required by the scenario, to identify and take appropriate actions concerning impediments to evacuation. The impediment must occur during the evacuation and be on an evacuation route such that re-routing of traffic is required, triggering decision-making and coordination with the JIC to communicate the alternate route to evacuees leaving the area."

RECOMMENDATION: Update SOP-906 to include procedures to inform the Emergency News Center and the EAS radio station of any alternate routes that are established.

EXTENT OF PLAY AGREEMENT:

In the NJRERP, Accident Assessment is a State responsibility therefore; radiological monitoring points and population by evacuation area is not displayed on maps at the county and municipal EOCs. The data on evacuation times and populations from the Evacuation Times estimate Study and other sources are condensed into a single document entitled DEMSTATs. The State uses the DEMSTATs to determine the affected population, ERPAs, and evacuation time estimates.

The New Jersey State Police Calibration Laboratory calibrates field team equipment. The State RERP Plan requires annual calibration of this equipment. Therefore, the calibration sticker for this equipment shows a calibration due date which reflects the annual calibration cycle. The instruments are considered calibrated as long as the current date does not exceed one year after the calibration date.
