After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On Feburary 6, 2014 a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Byron Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the capabilities of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.
The original November 20, 2013, date was postponed due to catastrophic weather events that occurred in central Illinois.
The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on July 27, 2011. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 15, 1983.
DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois the risk counties of Ogle and Winnebago participated along with State Government.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.
Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
This After Action (AAR)/Improvement Plan (IP) Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities: Illinois State Police (ISP) Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing, ISP Traffic and Access Control Point at the ISP District 1 Headquarters, Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2), Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers, Decontamination of Emergency Worker's Equipment, Public Registration and Congregate Care, Treatment and Transport of Contaminated Patients at Freeport Memorial Hospital and Byron Ambulance, Oregon Police Department Dosimetry Control Officer Briefing, Oregon Police Department Traffic and Access Control Points. Except where noted in this report, the State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of and adequately implemented their emergency response plans and procedures.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN
SUMMARY
2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region V Office evaluated the Byron Station REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise conducted on February 6, 2014, to assess the capabilities of local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involvingthe Byron Station. The purpose of this report is to present the results and findings on the performance of the OROs during a simulated radiological emergency.
2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise objectives and identified Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be demonstrated are discussed in Appendix E "Exercise Plan."
The Exercise Planning Team (EPT) selected objectives that focus on evaluating emergency response procedures, identifying areas for improvement, and fostering collaboration between the various OROs and stakeholders. This exercise focused on the following objectives:
" ORO demonstration of effective Emergency Operations Management;
" ORO demonstration of effective Protective Action Decision Making;
" ORO demonstration of effective Protective Action Implementation;
" ORO demonstration of effective Emergency Notification and Public Information;
" ORO demonstration of effective Support Operations and Facilities.
2.3 Scenario Summary Appendix F "Scenario Details," contains a summary of the Exercise Scenario, a simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by OROs during the Byron Station REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on February 6, 2014.
Results of a technical review of the scenario, submitted on September 18, 2013, indicate that the scenario is adequate to support demonstration of DHS/FEMA requirements, as well as criteria selected by the OROs provided in the State's September 4, 2013, and revised January 22, 2014, 10

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station extent-of-play submissions. The Exercise Scenario and extent-of-play submissions were accepted by DHS/FEMA on October 4, 2013.
During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Byron Station onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Illinois provided "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station CONDITION: Several instances of inaccurate information being provided to the public, and a lack of timeliness were noted during the exercise. Additionally, public inquiries rumors, and trend analysis were not fully addressed. The time between the end of the siren sounding (three minutes after activation) and the beginning of the broadcast of the emergency message to the public was excessive. For the initial Protective Action Decision (PAD) message, the elapsed time between the end of the siren sounding (1115 hours0.0129 days <br />0.31 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.242575e-4 months <br />) and the start of the message broadcast (1123 hours0.013 days <br />0.312 hours <br />0.00186 weeks <br />4.273015e-4 months <br />) was eight minutes. For the second PAD message the time between the sounding of the siren (1152 hours0.0133 days <br />0.32 hours <br />0.0019 weeks <br />4.38336e-4 months <br />) and the start of the message being broadcast (1159 hours0.0134 days <br />0.322 hours <br />0.00192 weeks <br />4.409995e-4 months <br />) was seven minutes. With the General Information message being broadcast every 15 minutes, the public could possibly just standby when the decision to evacuate had been made. The initial PAD message to the public was inaccurate and incomplete as parts of the message were not read (e.g. the Description of Sub-Areas). While individuals dealt with incoming inquiries and rumors, trends were not identified nor was there a process for detecting or analyzing any public inquiry rumors or trends.
Specific rumor of erroneous areas being told to evacuate were not addressed in the Ogle County EOC and would not have been communicated to the public.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The recording of the broadcast message took approximately six minutes each time. The sirens were sounded before the radio station was contacted to standby for a broadcast message. There was not:a Public Information Officer (PIO) available to record and analyze public inquiries, or to direct public information.
There was no Ogle County staff member assigned to reading, tracking or coordinating the dispensation of the recommended actions. A PIO knowledgeable in media and public relations, would have interacted with the State and the JIC in the preparation of news releases and coordination of responses to rumors, as outlined in IPRA Volume VI Chapter (2) page 57, Section K, "Public Information Considerations."
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, G.4.c; Section K, "Public Information Considerations", page VI(2) 57 of the IPRA.
EFFECT: The General Public could be misled and confused due to the eight and seven minutes of no message being broadcasted or the General Information message 23
Unclassified I
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
Byron Station 3 being rebroadcasted during a time when evacuation had been directed. This could cause undue alarm on the part of the public and in at least one instance not addressing I a rumor of erroneous evacuation could have led to people evacuating unnecessarily.
RECOMMENDATION: Improvement of procedures for relaying information to the public. EOC staff need to better coordinate the siren sounding times with emergency message broadcast messages and the local radio station. Provide additional guidance and procedures for the PIO on how to address, rumor trends. Update plan and procedures to modify EOC processes to more effectively address rumors, and to I promote coordination among the County, State and JIC.
- c. DEFICIENCY: 3.d.2. I ISSUE NO.: 09-14-3d2-D-01 U CRITERION: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. 3 CONDITION: Revised evacuation route selection was done without consideration of plume direction. It led:to re-routing of evacuating traffic into the plume instead of away from and around the plume. 3 POSSIBLE CAUSE: There was insufficient coordination between the personnel responsible for revising evacuation routes and technical staff to insure 3 plume/radiological release consideration/impact was taken into account when making the decision to revise evacuation routes. 3
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654/FEMA REP- 1, J.1O.k. 3 EFFECT: The public potentially could have been unnecessarily exposed to radiological material, thus compromising their health and safety. 3 CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Following the February 6,2014 3 Byron Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Exercise, Ogle County successfully re-demonstrated the capability to ensure impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. The re-demonstration was conducted in response to 24 3

The scenario and extent-of- play for the re-demonstration was based on the Schedule of Corrective Action letter from the State of Illinois to the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region V and subsequent discussions between the aforementioned agencies.
The re-demonstration was conducted at the Ogle County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), 103 Jefferson Street, Oregon, Illinois at 1100 hours0.0127 days <br />0.306 hours <br />0.00182 weeks <br />4.1855e-4 months <br />.
The EOC staff present for the re-demonstration included the Ogle County Board Chairperson, Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Coordinator, Ogle County Deputy Sheriff, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) Radiological Advisor.
All times reflected in the scenario depict exercise time, not real world time.
The IEMA Controller provided a scenario and message injects to the EOC participants. At approximately 1105 hours0.0128 days <br />0.307 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.204525e-4 months <br />, the Controller provided the Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS) Form State Message No.3, which indicated that a General Emergency (GE) Emergency Classification Level-(ECL) had been declared by Byron Station at 1045 hours0.0121 days <br />0.29 hours <br />0.00173 weeks <br />3.976225e-4 months <br /> and verified by Ogle County at 1102 hours0.0128 days <br />0.306 hours <br />0.00182 weeks <br />4.19311e-4 months <br />. The NARS Form indicated that there was a radiological release and a protective action recommendation (PAR) toevacuate Sub-Areas 17,: 19, 23, 27, 39,. and 40. It also indicated that the wind was from 223 degrees at 6.2 miles per hour. The Ogle County staff and IEMA Radiological Advisor were also notified (via an inject message) that an accident had occurred on Illinois Route 72 and Illinois Highway 2 in Byron, IL located in Ogle County resulting in the blocking of the intersection. The evacuation route was going to be blocked for two hours. Using their hard copy evacuation route map with the affected Sub-Areas and downwind center line highlighted, the Ogle County Staff and IEMA Radiological Advisor identified the impediment location.
After a brief discussion, the Ogle County Staff and IEMA Radiological Advisor identified an intersection west of the impediment to re-route evacuation traffic. The re-route sent evacuees north on Colfax Street. The Ogle County Staff coordinated with the IEMA Radiological Advisor to ensure that the route would not expose evacuees to the radiological plume. It was determined that the new route would allow 25

I After Action Report/improvement Plan Byron Station evacuees to avoid the impediment, the radiological plume and to arrive at the Reception Center with minimal delay. I The Ogle County Sheriff provided the updated evacuation route and impediment information to the Ogle County Sheriff Department, Ogle County Highway Department, Winnebago County, the JIC, and all other appropriate Ogle County EOC Staff.
At this point, the re-demonstration was concluded. I All activities described in the demonstration of this criterion were carried out in 3 accordance with the plan, procedures, and extent-of-play agreement.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station SECTION 4: CONCLUSION.
There was one Deficiency identified during this exercise for Ogle County. There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Illinois or Winnebago County.
Ogle County received a Deficiency finding under Protective Action Implementation Criterion I 3.d.2 - An implementation process involving identification and resolution of impediments to evacuation. 3 The Deficiency assessed was based on our findings that individual performances as well as the decision-making process used by Ogle County to implement protective action decisions failed to take into account radiological aspects, including the plume direction, when re-routing traffic after a controller injected traffic impediment was introduced. The Ogle County Representatives relayed the re-routing information (directions that had evacuees travel through the plume) to the Joint Information Center for release to the public. Evacuees were directed into and through the 3 centerline of the plume exposing them to radiological material, compromising their health and safety unnecessarily as alternate routes free from contamination and dose were available.
In accordance with 44 CFR 350.9(d), we thoroughly reviewed and discussed this issue with the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The Deficiency was resolved during a re-demonstration exercise conducted with appropriate Ogle County personnel on April 2, 2014. 3 There were two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during this exercise for Ogle County. There were no ARCAs identified for State of Illinois or Winnebago County. There i was one ARCA from a previous exercise for Ogle County that was successfully redemonstrated.
The first ARCA for Ogle County was identified under Criterion L.a. 1 - OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify, and mobilize emergency personnel and activate facilities in a timely manner. It was observed that the Ogle County E91 1 contacted the Winnebago County Emergency Operations Center and never notified the Winnebago County E9 11 Center as per the plan. I 32
-Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station The second ARCA for Ogle County was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and news media in a timely manner. Several instances of inaccurate information being provided to the public, and a lack of timeliness were noted during the exercise. Additionally, public inquiry rumors, and a trend analysis were not fully addressed. The time between the end of siren sounding (three minutes after activation) and the beginning of the broadcast of the emergency message to the public was excessive.
There was one ARCA resolved from a previous exercise for Ogle County. Prior ARCA 09 3c2-A OROs/school officials implement protective actions for schools.
There was one Plan Issue identified during this exercise for Ogle County. There were no Plan Issues identified for the State of Illinois or Winnebago County.
The Plan Issue identified during this exercise for Ogle County was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and news media in a timely manner. Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents (IPRA) Volume VI emergency messages contained confusing information. The messages in IPRA Volume VI that cover evacuation of Sub-Areas 19 and 23 (combined) include the entire City of Byron and all Byron Schools, even though they were part of Sub-Area 17 (Chapter 2A pages 58, 64 and 66).
The IPRA Volume VI Plan notes that schools are located iI Sub-Area 19, when in fact the Byron Schools are located in Sub-Area 17. Also the introduction of the Shelter-in-Place and Evacuation messages reference personnel in Ogle County but, do not mention that parts of Winnebago County could be included in the affected area.

I After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN 3 Iss i IeN br:09145bI -- 2C iero:5 ISSUE: Several instances of inaccurate information being provided to the public, and a lack of timeliness were I noted during the exercise. Additionally, public inquiries rumors, and trend analysis were not fully addressed. The time between the end of the siren sounding (three minutes after activation) and the beginning of the broadcast of the emergency message to the public was excessive. For the initial Protective Action Decision (PAD) message, the elapsed time between the end of the siren sounding (1115 hours0.0129 days <br />0.31 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.242575e-4 months <br />) and the start of the message broadcast (1123 I
hours) was eight minutes. For the second PAD message the time between the sounding of the siren (1152 hours0.0133 days <br />0.32 hours <br />0.0019 weeks <br />4.38336e-4 months <br />) and the start of the message being broadcast (1159 hours0.0134 days <br />0.322 hours <br />0.00192 weeks <br />4.409995e-4 months <br />) was seven minutes. With the General Information message being broadcast every 15 minutes, the public could possibly just standby when the decision to evacuate had been made. The initial PAD message to the public was inaccurate'and incomplete as parts of the message were I
not read (e.g. the Description of Sub-Areas). While individuals dealt with incoming inquiries and rumors, trends were not identified nor was there a process for detecting or analyzing any public inquiry rumors or trends. Specific rumor of erroneous areas being told to evacuate were not addressed in the Ogle County EOC and would not have been communicated to the public.
I RECOMMENDATION: Improvement of procedures for relaying information to the public. EOC staff need to better coordinate the siren sounding times with emergency message broadcast messages and the local radio station.
Provide additional guidance and procedures for the PIO on how to address rumor trends. Update plan and procedures to modify EOC processes to more effectively address rumors, and to promote coordination among the I
Countv. State and JIC.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DESCRIPTION: IEMA will update its EOC training in an effort to better explain plans and procedures. The update will be implemented immediately.

EVALUATION AREA 1 - EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Criterion 1.a.l: OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify and mobilize emergency personnel and activate facilities in a timely manner.
The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), which houses the IEMA Communications Center (Initial Warning Point), the State of Illinois Response Center (SIRC) and the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC), will provide SIMCELL support for county participation, however no State function will be evaluated since all State criteria have been successfully demonstrated in the last two years.
The Unified Area Command (UAC) will be represented via a SIMCELL which will be located in a breakout room in the SIRC. Radiological Assessment Field Team (RAFT) and the mobile lab will NOT be staffed but related tasks & functions will be represented via SIMCELL in REAC. IEMA personnel will be prepositioned in the local area and dispatched to the County EOCs. FEMA will not evaluate the TSC, JIC or EOF.
An actual phone call will be made to the FEMA duty officer advising them of the situation at Byron Station. Follow up calls to FEMA will be simulated.
The prepositioned State staff will begin exercise play no earlier than the Alert.
Criterion 1.b.1: Facilities are sufficient to support the emergency response.
This criterion will not be demonstrated during this exercise.
Criterion l.c.1: 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.
This criterion will not be evaluated; however the State will participate to the level necessary to support county exercise play.
Criterion 1.d.l: At least two communication systems are available, at least one operates properly, and communication links are established and maintained with appropriate locations. Communications capabilities are managed in support of emergency operations.
This criterion will not be evaluated; however the State will participate to the level necessary to support county exercise play.

SUMMARY
NORMAL OPERATIONS 0800-0811 The Operating Crew will be briefed at 0730 and is expected to take the shift by 0800. Their turnover will include instructions to continue operations at full power.
Unit 1 at 1252 MWe, Operating in LCO 3.4.16 condition A, 1-131 at last sample was 1.08 pCi/gm next sample results due 0830 Equipment OOS - None Major evolutions scheduled - None 321 days on-line - Online Risk YELLOW (1A CS Pp))
ALERT 0805 ALERT, FAI - Any Loss or Potential Loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS
- (0805) CM-2 will be issued to SM, Chemistry reporting unit 1 1-131 concentration of 367 pCi/gm
[T=O for Alert]
Expected Actions
- SM should declare FA1 based on 1-131 > 300 pCi/gm (loss of Fuel Clad - FC2)
- Initial crew discussion as to need to start controlled unit shutdown.
All appropriate notifications (State & Local, NRC, PA, Everbridge, Station Duty Manager, NDO, etc.)
will be made. The ERO - TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC will be staffed.
Miscellaneous equipment failure 0815 0 (0815) [MM task] - 1B D/G trouble alarm, due to starting air receiver relief valve failed open causing receiver pressure low.
a (0825) [1M task] - PZR level channel 1LT-459 fails low, letdown should isolate. Crew should enter 1BOA Inst-2 and then 1BOA ESP-2 to deal with failed channel and to restore letdown.
- (0900) [EM task] - 1A RH pump breaker fails, indication in the control room is the indicating lights go dark and a ground alarm.
Expected Response Ops crew / TSC / OSC will be prioritizing work and response as appropriate.
Command and Control transfer from the Shift Emergency Director to the TSC and EOF will occur prior to proceeding with the Site Area Emergency event.
