SUMMARY

On July 17, 2018, a biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted in I the rapid release plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) located near Russellville, Pope County, Arkansas. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region VI evaluated the exercise.

I The purpose was to assess the level of preparedness of state and local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at ANO. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the implementation of state and local radiological emergency I preparedness plans and procedures.

I The previous exercise at this site was a Plume Exercise conducted on August 17, 2016. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on October 1, 1980. There have been twenty-four evaluated exercises, including the exercise on July 17, 2018, plus numerous drills I conducted since 1980.

DHS/FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of I Arkansas, Pope, Yell, Logan, Johnson, and Conway Counties, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Forecast Office, KXRJ Radio Station, and surrounding jurisdictions who I participated in this e_xercise. 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 they have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.

I Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during this exercise.

This report contains the final written evaluation of the biennial exercise. The state and local I organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Level. I or Level 2 Findings or Plan Issues identified, however one prior Plan Issue was resolved during the exercise.

I SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

I 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design I

The DHS/FEMA Region VI Office evaluated the exercise on July 17, 2018 to assess the capabilities of local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological I

emergency involving Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). The purpose of this report is to represent the results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations during a simulated radiological emergency.

I 2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities I Exercise objectives and identified Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be exercised are discussed in the Exercise Plan (EXPLAN), Appendix D. I 2.3 Scenario Summary I The exercise scenario was developed to evaluate the response-of exercise participants to an incident requiring evacuation of the public from the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone surrounding Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). The exercise scenario provided for the evaluation of the Arkansas Department I

ofEm~rgency Management (ADEM), Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), Johnson, Logan, Pope, and Yell Counties, and Local Emergency Services to manage emergency operations, provide and implement protective action decisions, provide field measurement and analysis, and alert and I

notify the public.

I Sub-element 2.b. - Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and I

Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency INTENT I

This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to independently project integrated dose from projected or actual dose rates and compare I

these estimates to the PAGs. OROs must have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency. OROs base these choices on PAGs from their plans/procedures or EP A's Manual ofProtective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear I

Incidents and other criteria, such as plant conditions, licensee PARs, coordination of PADs with other political jurisdictions (e.g., other affected OROs and incident command), availability of in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations, to include HAB incidents, the threat posed by the specific I

hostile action, the affiliated response, and the effect of an evacuation on the threat response effort, that create higher than normal risk from general population evacuation. I Criterion 2.b.J: Appropriate protective action recommendations (PARs) are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, I

I After Action Report/Improvement Plan Arkansas Nuclear One EVALUATION AREA4 I Field Measurement and Analysis I

Sub-element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the I

capability to deploy FMTs with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 indicates that OROs must have the capability I

to use FMTs I

within the plume exposure pathway EPZ to detect airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume. In an incident at an NPP, the I possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although incident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an incident, it I

is important to collect field radiological data to help characterize any radiological release.

Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts. I 2: Field teams (2 or more) are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Cl; H.12; 1. 7, 8, 11; J.10.a)

I Control Room declares an SAE (5 S1) within 15 minutes (07:52) 07:38 Control Room dispatches AO to attempt to restore non-running EOG using I K01 ACA and OP-1104.036 EOG Operation.

07:40 Unit 2 reports that AAC Diesel will not start from the control room and an I operator has been dispatched to start the diesel locally.

07:55 WCO reports to the control room that CV-1221 and CV-1274 are closed I manually.

07:58 Control Room will contact Dispatcher to take emergency actions to I restore power, including system load shed if necessary.

At some point the control room may consider declaring an Extended Loss of AC I power which would put them in FDS-001. This is not the intent of the scenario.
