Dear Mr. Kennedy:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security FEMA Region VI FRC 800 North Loop 288 Denton, TX 76209-3698 FEMA Enclosed is a copy of the After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the River Bend Station Exercise evaluated on June 29, 2016. Based on the evaluation of this exercise by the FEMA Region 6 staff and a team of federal evaluators, capability to implement offsite radiological emergency response plans and procedures was successfully demonstrated by the State of Louisiana and its local governments. During the exercise there were four Level 2 Findings (three corrected during the exercise), and four Plan Issues identified during the exercise. There were no Level 1 Findings. Also, one previous Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was resolved during the exercise. 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 River Bend Station and there is 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 Nan Williams, FEMA Region 6 Regional Assistance Committee Chair at (940) 898-5398, or Timothy Pflieger, River Bend Station Site Specialist, at (940) 383-7325.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)' Program After Action Report/Improvement Plan

• 2016 River Ben.d Station Executive Summary On June 29, 2016, a biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP}Ph1me Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted around the River Bend Station (RBS), located near St.

Francisville, Louisiana. Personnel from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region VI;* evaluated all activities*. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of preparedness of State and local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at RBS. It was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the implementation of state and local REP plans and procedures. The previous exercise at this site was conducted on June 18, 2014. The first qualifying exercise to satisfy FEMA rule 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 350 requirements'for'.Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing to operate the facility was conducted in January 1985. Including the exercise on June 29, 2016, there have been eighteen DHS/FEMA Region VI evaluated exercises plus several drills conducted since then. FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Louisiana, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, East Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge Parishes 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. Cooperatiorl:and teamwork of alLthe participants was evident during this exercise. This report includes the identification of any exercise findings and recommendations for. corrective action where appropriate. All state and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated an adequate knowledge of the emergency response plans and procedures and properly implemented them. There were no Level 1 Findings, four Level 2 Findings (three corrected during the exercise), and four Plan Issues identified during the exercise. Also, one previous Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was resolved during the exercise. ~ ,.\\ .. *l 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

CRITERION: The reception center facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees. CONDITION: The East Baton Rouge Parish Radiological Emergency Implementing Procedure for Fire Departments provides a procedure for'* radiological monitoring and decontamination of public evacuees, emergency . personnel and vehicles. Howeve*r, during the Reception Ceriter Drill' at the LSU Band Hall on June 28, 2016 this was not fully demonstrated, nor was there a Vehicle Monitoring Kit available for the Vehicle'Moriitoring Team. Vehicles were parked and the procedure indicated that vehides \\'would be surveyed after they are parked and as time and resources permit." *' POSSIBLE CAUSE: The procedure does not contain provisions for associating the vehicle with the vehicle occupants. The procedure does not provide for notifying the vehicle monitoring team to request a vehicl.e survey ifthe vehicle occupant was surveyed and identified as contaminated. Additionally the procedure does not indicate any provisions will be made to secure the parking lot to ensure that vehicles with contaminated occupants are controlled inside the parking area until surveys have been completed. There are Vehicle Decontamination Station procedures provided however, they are incomplete. Additionally, no vehicle monitoring kit was available for use by the vehicle monitoring team. 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Preparedri~ss (GO SHEP) authorizing the administering of Potassium Iodide (KI) to all emergency workers. At approximately 1310 the Radiological Defense (RACEC) Officer, after prompting from the evaluator, asked the EOC Director if a KI recommendation had been authorized during news broadcast brief. ,/ EOC Director, after prompting by lead evaluator which as to whic~ was. more imp~rtant a news broadcast or the health and safety of emergency workers, went ahead and firushed the news brief. At 1320, after more prompting for verification, the EOC Director called the GOSHEP to determine if KI had been authorized. During the call the EOC Director noticed fax that was sent at 1246.

//

During brief from EOC Director it was discovered.the fax did not list East Feliciana Parish (EFP) for KI authorization. The EOC Director determined since the fax did not include the ESP and the time had been so long since th.e,fecommendation that it didn't have cause for any further effort. The recommendation did include any emergency workers within a 5 mile radius of the utility. After prompting from the evaluatbr the EOC Director called the GOSHEP again to verify that EFP should not be on the recm.funendation. At 1338 a fax was recetved from the GOSHEP with the KI recommendation for emergency workers including EFP. 1340 the EOC Director briefed that KI recommendation for ingestion be communicated to emergency workers.

Offsite notifications will be made and the ERO will be augmented using the ERO callout system. At approximately 0910, the condensate pumps trip offline; qne due to an electrical short, the other due to a sheared shaft when the first pump trips. Tbis results in a loss of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) injection with condensate and feedwater.(The reactor will scram and the associated initiations and isolations occur. As level)owers, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) will be manually initiated or auto initiated'..High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) may also initiate. / * / At approximately 0932, a RCIC steam leak will occur in the main steam tunnel downstream of the outboard isolation valve. The isolati6n temperature will be reached, however, both the inboard (E51-MOVF063) and outboard (E51-MOVF064) isolation valves will fail to close. When the main steam tunnel temperature reaches 173°F, the Emergency Action Level (EAL) condition for the potential loss (RC3) of the RCS barrier is met. The failure of both RCIC isolation valves to close leaving a downstream pathway to the environment meets the condition for loss of the primary containment barrjer (PC3). The loss or potential loss of two barriers meets the condition for a Site Area EmergeACy FS1-1. The Site Area Emergency (SAE) will be declared between approximately 0932 and 0947. A protected area evaluation will be directed.

• A reactor cool~nt leak in the drywell will occur on the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) bottom head drain ~eifulting in a drywell high pressure 1.68 psid signal (RC1 ). Emergency depressurization will be required due to exceeding the max safe operating temperature in two areas identified in EOP-3. The HPCS pump will trip shortly after starting and the Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) A injection valves fail to open after RPV pressure is lowered. Standby Liquid Control (SLC) and Control Rod Drive (CRD) will not be sufficient to maintain RPV water level. The RPV level will continue to lower.

At approximately 1105, RPV level will lower below -162". This is a potential loss (FC2) of the fuel clad and conditions for a General Emergency (GE) are met. The GE will be declared and Protective Action Recommendations (PAR) made to offsite authorities. A rise in main plant 48 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
