On July 26, 2018, an out of sequence Medical Services drill was conducted for the Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station (Waterford 3), located near Taft, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.

I Personnel from the U.S. Department ofHomeland'Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region VI, evaluated all activities. The purpose of the drill was to I assess the level of preparedness of local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at Waterford 3. The previous Medical Services drill was conducted on September I' 15, 2016.

Personnel from the State of Louisiana, Waterford 3, West Jefferson Medical Center, and St.

I Charles Parish Hospital Emergency Medical Services participated in the drill. Evaluation areas demonstrated included: Emergency Operations/Facilities, Protective Action I

Implementation, and Support Operations/Facilities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during the drill and DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge these I efforts.

This report contains the final evaluation of the out of sequence drill. The participants I

demonstrated know ledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequate! y demonstrated them. There were no Level 1 Findings or Plan Issues identified as a result of I

this evaluation. One Level 2 Finding was observed and corrected on the spot.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan 2018 Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station Nuclear Station I I. INTRODUCTION In the interest of assuring the health and safety of the general public near the Waterford 3 I

Steam Electric Station, in the event of a radiological emergency, Waterford 3 periodically conducts drills jointly with the Federal, State and local agencies.

This manual contains the scenario of activities and supporting data describing the Waterford I

3 Emergency Preparedness Medical Services Drill.

This scenario was developed by postulating events that will require response by offsite organizations.

I During this drill, the support organizations will respond to the simulated events and conditions that have been selected to provide the level of activity necessary to meet the I

scenario objectives.

West Jefferson Medical Center and St. Charles Parish Ambulance will participate in this drill.

Drill participants will have no prior knowledge of the sequence of events. The drill scenario I

will allow those individuals and agencies assigned to respond during a radiological emergency to demonstrate their performance according to current emergency preparedness plans and procedures.

I The scenario is a mechanism by which selected drill controllers will initiate and evaluate the activities of the drill participants. The individual drills will be initiated as shown below and each are expected to last approximately three hours.

I Participating organizations are shown in Section IV, Guidelines, of this manual. I SCHEDULE I

SUMMARY

At approximately 07:45 AM, a Mechanical Maintenance Technician at Waterford 3, who has I been repairing a leak on the "A" Low Pressure Safety Injection Pump, slips and falls down breaking her left leg below the knee and striking her forehead on a pump support. During the fall, the technician's left leg came into contact with contaminated water collected from the I pump.

The Drill Control Team simulates the Control Room response and UNT-007-018, First Aid I and Medical Care, is implemented. Response by the Emergency First Aid Team is simulated and primary surveys of the patient are performed At approximately 08:00, the St. Charles Ambulance Service is (simulated) dispatched to I Waterford 3 to transport patient to West Jefferson Medical Center.

After requesting EMS, the Drill Control Team calls the West Jefferson Medical Center to report the simulated medical emergency. The patient's primary survey information (vital I signs) is provided.

The St. Charles Ambulance Service EMTs will provide updates to West Jefferson Medical I Center during simulated transportation of the patient.

At approximately 08:30, the ambulance will arrive at West Jefferson Medical Center. The patient will be taken into the REA, decontaminated and treated for the simulated injuries.

I After the patient has been removed from the REA and the proper removal of protective clothing has been demonstrated, the medical drill will be terminated. A critique of the events will be conducted.

I I .

Any required x-rays or required samples may be simulated by hospital personnel after demonstrating knowledge of requirements and processes.
