I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program I After Action Report 2017 Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant Section 2: Exercise Design Summary I 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design I The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations parts 350, 351, 352, 353 and 354. Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations part I 350 codifies sixteen planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for state, tribal, and local governments impacted by the emergency planning zones established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States.

I Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations also codify the sixteen planning standards for the licensee. Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations part 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of state, tribal, and local government radiological I emergency response plans and procedures by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. One of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities.

I During these exercises, affected state, tribal, and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.

I The results of this exercise, together with review of the radiological emergency response plans, and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-I REP-1, along with supplements through the annual letter of certification and staff assistance visits, enabled the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide a statement with the transmission of this final after action report to the United States I Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that the affected state, tribal, and local plans and preparedness are: (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate I protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

I The State of Alabama formally submitted the Radiological Emergency Response Plans for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant to the Federal Emergency Management I Agency, Region IV on May 15, 1985. The Federal Emergency Management Agency approved the plans pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations 350 on July 6, 1990. The qualifying joint emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 1, 1989.

I 2.2 Exercise Core Capabilities and Objectives I Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items.

Using the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program methodology, the I exercise objectives meet the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program requirements and encompass the programs emergency preparedness evaluation areas.

The critical tasks to be demonstrated were negotiated with the State of Alabama and the I

I 1300 Exercise terminated Summary: Exercise begins at 0800 CDT (BFNPP Unit 2).

I I 13 I

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program I After Action Report 2017 Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant At 0815, loss of control room annunciators. Control room evaluates Emergency Action I

Level (EAL) 8.3-U to determine if a Notification of Unusual Event Emergency Classification Level (ECL) should be declared. I At 0823 , recirculation pump trips.

Based on control room assessment of loss of control room annunciators (EAL 8.3-U), a I

Notification of Unusual Event ECL should be declared by 0830. NOTE: Conditions for an Alert begin at 0823, so the control room may go directly to the Alert ECL. I Based on loss of control room annunciators causing a significant loss of plant assessment capability for more than 15 minutes and compensatory indication systems not available I (EAL 8.3-A), an Alert ECL should be declared by 0838.

At 0845 , annunciators are restored. I At 0852, residual heat removal (RHR) pump trips.

I At 0918, an Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) occurs and fuel damage results.

I NOTE: The time of reactor trip is not indicated in the scenario narrative. The Fuel Damage data sheet indicates a reactor trip time of-0918, but the narrative indicates that manual and automatic means of reactor trip failed. This was discussed with the TVA I

technical point of contact (POC). He could not find the actual time of reactor trip in the scenario materials, but checked with the simulator operators who indicated alternate means of shutdown did not initially work, but that these were effective within about a I

minute of the ATWS; hence the notation of "-0918" on the Fuel Damage data sheet. The approximate time of reactor trip is included below. I Manual reactor trip at -0918.

At 0920, recirculation pump seals leak resulting in an increase in drywell pressure.

I Drywell radiation levels increase due to fuel damage resulting from the ATWS. Control rod power fails. I At 0930, containment and drywell sprays fail.

Based on failure of automatic and manual scram (EAL 1.2-S), a Site Area Emergency I

ECL should be declared by 0933.

At 1015, reactor level water level drops and no injection is available. Emergency I

depressurization is required.

At 1023, fuel damage and radiation levels increase after emergency depressurization and I

14 I

I

I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program I After Action Report water injection occurs.

2017 Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant I At 1030, drywell head gaskets fail, plant radiation monitors increase.

I NOTE: The original scenario indicated that the "offsite release begins" at this time; however, at 1050, the narrative indicates that stack monitor readings increase which would indicates the start of the release. The scenario Radiation Monitors Report I indicates a ramp up of stack monitors from 1050 - 1055. Also, the State Environmental Monitoring data begins at 1055. Discussed this information with the TVA technical POC, and it was agreed that the actual release time is 1050. The offsite release time will I be corrected in the licensee scenario.

At 1036, drywell radiation monitor levels exceed conditions for a General Emergency.

I At 1050, plant stack radiation monitor levels increase indicating an offsite radiological release. NOTE: Per the discussion above, the actual offsite release time is 1050.

I I Based on magnitude of drywell radiation levels, reactor coolant system boundaries not intact, and loss of primary containment (EAL 2.3-G2), a General Emergency ECL should I be declared by 1051.

!I Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) from the utility are to evacuate 2 miles around and 5 miles downwind of BFNPP (Zones A2, B2, F2, G2, E5, F5, and G5) and shelter 10 miles downwind (Zones ElO, FlO, and GlO), and consider potassium iodide (Kl) in accordance with the State Plan. The 1045 licensee dose projection indicates the I EPA PAGs for Adult Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) will not be exceeded at the site boundary; however, the release mix includes iodine which should drive the potassium iodide (Kl) administration decision .

I At 1140, condenser cooling water pump trips.

I The exercise will be terminated once the objectives in each organization are met.

I The Alabama Emergency Management Agency staff successfully demonstrated this core capability by establishing and maintaining a unified and coordinated operational structure I in support of a radiological emergency at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant.

Activation and staffing of the state emergency operations center was done in accordance with approved plans and exercise agreements. This fixed facility was well equipped to I support staff during an emergency event. Sufficient maps and digital displays were located throughout the facility. Primary and secondary communications were demonstrated and no failures were noted.

I The staff operated under the National Incident Management System/Incident Command System structure. Within the state emergency operations center there are seven sections I with prescribed responsibilities; incident command and staff; external affairs; planning; operations; communications and technology; logistics; and finance and administration.

I For nuclear power plant emergencies, the Alabama Emergency Management Agency's role is to coordinate state resources to support response operations. Precautionary and protective action decisions are the responsibility of the Alabama Department of Public I Health/Office of Radiation Control in the form of a state emergency health order. The state conducts and facilitates a group coordinating call following the issuance of any protective actions. This call brings key state agencies, the utility, and the risk and host 1* counties together to identify any limiting factors that may prevent the implementation of the protective actions.

I The emergency operations center staff worked as a cohesive unit, sharing information with the discussion of what specific agency actions were being taken in support of the response. The director and his staff performed all actions required of them and I demonstrated they were fully capable of responding to an emergency at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant.

The location is located well outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone of the Browns I Ferry Nuclear Power Plant and is used as an alternate overflow reception center for the general public from Limestone and Morgan counties. Dublin Park Recreation Center I 39 I

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program I After Action Report 2017 Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant facility functions solely as an alternate overflow reception center and is not a congregate I

care facility. The radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees is to take place in those counties before the evacuee is advised to proceed to the Madison County facility.

I The Dublin Park facilities provided ample space to complete evacuee registration.

Through interview, a monitoring and decontamination capability was stated to exist.

I Madison County has the equipment, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, personnel, and other supplies sufficient to support this capability. However, Madison County is a host county and per plan does not monitor or decontaminate evacuees. In accordance with I

existing plans and the extent of play, monitoring and decontamination of evacuees was not demonstrated for this activity. I For this capability the following Radiological Emergency Preparedness criteria were MET:

Public information officers and support staff from the offsite response organizations I successfully integrated into an effective team. The collaboration and coordination of the participants enabled them to disseminate accurate, timely and useful emergency public information in response to a radiological emergency involving the Browns Ferry Nuclear I Power Plant.

A joint information system was established at the Alert declaration. Following the Site I Area Emergency declaration, the joint information center was activated in accordance with the extent of play agreement, state and county personnel were prepositioned in the facility and joined exercise play after receiving their notifications.

I Redundant communication capabilities and supplies to support operations were available and sufficient to support the response. An electronic emergency management information I tracking system, cell phone, texts, emails and two-way radios were all used as the means of communication. All operated without fail during the exercise. This facility was located outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone; therefore, dosimetry, and potassium iodide I were not required.

The joint information center staff disseminated news releases and emergency health I orders. They conducted one formal media briefing following the declaration of a General Emergency which outlined the protective action decisions, specific instructions for the I public, emergency public health orders, plant conditions as well as response, mitigation, and recovery from the incident. Under a local mutual aid agreement, representatives from the City of Athens, Blount, Colbert, Cullman, Jackson, and Marion counties provided I public information officers in the joint information center for the risk counties. This practice was beneficial in two ways; it allowed risk jurisdictions to retain staff during emergencies, and it expanded the radiological emergency preparedness awareness to I

41 I
