U.S. Department of Homeland Security FEMA Region V 536 South Clark Street, 6th Floor Chicago, IL 60605 JL20 2015 @: FEM A NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-000 1 To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed is a copy of the Final After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the school evacuation (EV-2) interview and medical services (MS-i) drill conducted on December 16, 2014, for the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. The State of Michigan, and Monroe and Wayne Counties participated in this exercise.

There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Michigan or Monroe and Wayne Counties during the drill.

There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Action identified for the State of Michigan during the interview and drill.

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action identified for Monroe County under Criterion 1.e. 1

- Contrary to the Extent-of-Play for Criterion 1.e. 1 and plans/procedures, Monroe County Ambulance staff was not issued potassium iodide (KI) as Monroe County Emergency Workers.

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action identified for Wayne County under Criterion 3.a. 1

- The Oakwood Southshore Medical Center (OSMC) Emergency Department Staff did not know how to zero their dosimeters, did not recognize their dosimeter charger, and were generally unfamiliar with dosimetry and its use.

There was one Plan Issue identified for Monroe County under Criterion 3.a.l1 for the Monroe Public School District.

There were no prior issues identified in previous interviews or drills requiring corrective action.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Sections 3 and 4 and Appendix A of the attached report.

Based on the results of the December 16, 2014 interview and drill, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Michigan, and Monroe County, site-specific to the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented, and are adequate to provide ww.fema.gov

NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk 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.

Pending successful re-demonstration of the Oakwood Southshore Medical Center (OSMC) medical service drill by Wayne County on August 25, 2015, it is anticipated that the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of.

Michigan, and Monroe and Wayne Counties, granted on March 9, 1987, will remain in effect.

If you have any questions, please contact Karl Rabenhorst at (312) 408-5516 or Dwaine Warren at (312) 408-5342.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Enrico Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On December 16, 2014, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V conducted one school (EV-2) interview and one medical services (MS-i) drill in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Enrico Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP). The purpose of the EV-2 interview was to assess the ability of off-site agencies to safely evacuate school children under the continuous supervision of teachers and administrators from a school to a host school serving as a relocation center. The purpose of the medical services drill was to assess the ability of offsite agencies to respond to a medical emergency involving a potentially radioactively contaminated member of the public.

Both the EV-2 interview and MS-i drill were held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans.

The following criteria, which are part of the DHS/FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP) Manual dated June 2013, were evaluated during the EV-2 Interview: Criterion 1.d. 1 - Communications Equipment; Criterion i.e. 1 - Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations; Criterion 3 .a. 1 - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control; and Criterion 3.c.2 - Implementation of Protective Actions for Persons with Disabilities and Access/Functional Needs. The following criteria were evaluated during the MS-i Drill:

Criterion 1.d. 1 -~Communications Equipment; Criterion i.e. 1 - Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations; Criterion 3.a. 1 - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control; and 6.d. 1 - Transportation and Treatment of Contaminated Injured Individuals.

The DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of personnel from the Michigan State Police's Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division, the Monroe County Emergency Management Division, the Wayne County Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department, the Monroe Public School District, Monroe Community Ambulance and Oakwood Southshore Medical Center who participated in the EV-2 interview and MS-i drill. The interview and drill were conducted with representatives of the school district and medical services by DHS/FEMA staff.

Except where noted in this report, the State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of, and adequately implemented, their emergency response plans and procedures.

There was one Plan Issue identified for Monroe County during the interview.

Monroe County received a Plan Issue under Criterion 3.a. 1 - Per the Monroe Public School District (MPSD) Radiological Emergency* Respo0nse Plan (RERP); evacuation of all three Tiers of risk schools requires betwveen five hours (best case) and seven hours (worst case). Once"...

students have been evacuated, bus drivers are instructed to report to the staging area for distribution ofdosimetryr and KI and reassignment as emergencyworkers. If a release begins before the second or third tier risk schools have been evacuated, the bus drivers could exit the.

EPZ without dosimetry and KI, but would require dosimetry and KI to reenter the EPZ. The plan does not clearly define a procesS to ensure that ddsimetry and KI will be issued to school~

bus drivers who need to re-enter the EPZ in order to evacuate students and staff which could potentially delay the evaicuation of Tier 2 and 3 risk Schdols'. ". .

There were no prior issues identified in preVious intervieWs or drills requiring corrective~action.

INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS :' ." ,.

On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's *activities are conducted pursuant to Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations'(CFR) Parts 350 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and 'Prep~aredness", 351 "Radioogical Emergency Planning and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning" (Commonly referred to as 44CFR350 through 352). These regulations are a key element' in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.  :

The FEMA Regulation 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/FEMA'S initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiologicail emiergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments' participatiori in joint exercises with nuclear power plant licensees in their vicinity: .,::-

The hospital's entire supply of dosimeters was stored in two Ziploc sandwich bags on the top shelf of the equipment closet between a spool and a loose coil of rope used to mark the Radiological Exclusion Area (REA) in the ambulance bay. The shock sensitive instruments had no protective packaging and a 5+,foot drop to .the tiled floor could have rendered them inoperable. Per the Extent-of-Play, 'The use of dosimetry and KI will be demonstrated by hospital staff.' Potassium iodide (RI) was neither observed, nor mentioned by either the hospital staff or controllers. Initially, the medical staff donned smocks rather than coveralls as Personal Protective Equipment for entry into the Decontamination Room. When advised to change into coveralls, the medical Staff taped the ends of the arms and legs so thoroughly that they were difficult to remove at the end of the drill. To make it easier for the HP Tech to monitor her for contamination, one of the nurses moved while being monitored and touched the survey meter probe with .her coveralls, requiring.

additional monitoring and potential decontamination of the monitoring equipment.

', medica~l staff attempted .tO remove the tapei sealing, their coveralls at'their ankles

while standing on their Other foot; .One person inadvertently leaned against the wall and required: additional, monitoring, .requiring: additional monitoring and .possibly decontamination. Shock sensitive direct reading dosimeters were dropped into a trash bag while being collected at the end of the drill and the medical staff did not

in additional exposure being inidicatedo6n the. dosimeters and most likely result in I

  • contamination which would delay .their reuse., .'.. ._;..

II POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Oak~wood Southshore Medical Center (0SMG) Emergency Department's participation appeared to be. a realistic demonstration of ai actual, no- [

notice, response. The attending physician reported that she had stopped in on her day [

  • off and was asked to assist with the drill. Real-world patients, arriving in ambulances from everY jurisdiction supported by the hospital, in~addition to walk-in patients, were admitted throughout the course of the Drill. The nursing staff demonstrated a veypositive, 'can do' attitude.and indicated that~managing multiple, concurrent crises is what:Emergency Departments .do. Both Treatment/Decon Nurses were competent and demonstrated enough-basic knowledge to suggest *that they* had i received some. radiological training.*. The hospital's radiology staff did not appear to [
  • participate, so the Charge Nurse actedas. the Dosimetry Control Officer and personally performed all support functions outside of the Treatment/DecontaminationI Room. Radiological emergency response, contamination control and dosimetry training appeared minimal. The Charge Nurse referred to the Radiologicaln Emergency Area Diagram, referred to and periodically briefed portions of then Radiological Medical Emergency (RME) Plan procedures to the medical staff and [

maintained Personnel Dosimetry Log form, but no one else referred to any plans, [

procedures or checklists, etc. The dosimeters were not zeroed (realistic), which

.:,caused confusion and without pre-packaged dosimetry kits and individual briefing I cards, checklists, etc., the participants struggled to figure out what they needed.

.Surv.ey meters, dosimetry, barrier rope and tape, personal protective equipment,n

....* reference binders, Rad Waste bags, etc., .were stored in~the Radiological Emergencyn Equipment Storage Cabijnet/Closet, but-were not organized in a way that facilitated*

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Plan's underlying assumption is that all risk schools will be evacuated prior to any radiological release~and declaration of a General Emergency.

The possibility of a GE occurring in less than five to seven hours does not appear to have been considered.

REFERENCE:

EFFECT: It is possible that school bus drivers Who' arrive at the staging area during a GE might inadvertently attempt to re-enter the EPZ in order to evacuate Tier 2 or 3 risk schools without proper dosimetry, KI1 and emergency worker training and would be turned back by Traffic and Access Control Point personnel because they lacked required emergency worker personal protective equipment required to enter the EPZ during a GE.

RECOMMENDATION: Add an action item to the 'General Emergency (School in session), If Evacuation is recommended or ordered' on page 44 directing that dosimetry, KI and Emergency Wor'ker Training be provided to School bus drivers who arrive at the MCC transfer point/staging area *during a GE (i.e. before they re-enter the EPZ). This would eliminate potential confusion and unnecessary delay in the evacuation of Tier 2 or 3 risk schools, caused by school bus drivers arriving at a Traffic and Access *Control Point during a GE Without appropriate emergency worker personal protective equipment and training.

Monroe County received a Plan Issue under Criterion 3.a. 1 - Per the Monroe Public School District (MPSD) Radiological-Emergency Response Plan :(RERP), evacuation~of all three Tiers

'of risk schools requires between five hours (best case,) and seven hours (worst'case). Once students have been evacuated, bus drivers-are instructed to. report to the staging area for distribution of dosimetr'y and KI and reassignment as emergency workers. If a relkase begins before the second or third tier risk schools have been evacuated, the bus drivers could exit thei EPZ without dosimetry and KI, but would require dosimetry- and KI to reenter the EPZ. The plan does not clearly define a pr'ocess to ensure that dosimetry and KI will be issued'to School bus drivers who need to re-enter the EPZ in order to evacuate students and staff which could potentially delay the evacuation of Tier 2 and 3 risk Schools.

There were no prior issues identified in previous interviews or drills requiring corrective action.U I
