I Radiological EmergencY'P,reparedness Program After Action Report 2018 Brunswick Nuclear Plant Executive Summary The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise for the 10-mile emergency planning zone of the Brunswick Nuclear Plant on July 31, 2018. Those evaluative observations as well as out of sequence activities conducted July 9-13, 2018 are included in this report.

The Brunswick Nuclear Plant is operated by Duke Energy and is located near the City of Southport in southeastern Brunswick County, North Carolina. The 10-mile emergency planning zone encompasses portions of both Brunswick and New Hanover Counties.

The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of state and local preparedness in responding to an incident at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. It was conducted in accordance with Federal Emergency Management Agency's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of state and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on July 26, 2016. The original qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted November 13, 1981.

Officials and representatives from participating agencies and organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them during the exercise and out of sequence activities. Alljurisdictions met their exercise objectives and successfully demonstrated the corresponding core capabilities identified in Section 2.2 of this report. During this exercise, the Federal Emergency Management Agency evaluation team did not identify any level 1 or level 2 findings.

Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina, Brunswick and New Hanover Counties, National Weather Service, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Duke Energy, as well as numerous volunteers and other agencies, participated in this exercise. It was apparent during the exercise that a great deal of training and practice was conducted by the offsite response organizations to successfully demonstrate the ability to provide support and resources as necessary to the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. Both Brunswick and New Hanover Counties used this exercise and out of sequence activities to enhance their current level of preparedness and more importantly, bolster services to the access/functional needs community.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency staff wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in the exercise and made it a success. The professionalism and teamwork of the participants was evident throughout all phases of the exercise.

I Radiological Emergency Breparedness Program After Action Report 2018 Brunswick Nuclear Plant Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design 2.2 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. 'fitl'e 44 Code of Federal Regulations 350 codifies sixteen planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for the licensee and for state, tribal; and local governments* impacted by the emergency planning zones established for each imclear power plant site in the United States. United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations.. also codify the sixteen planning standards for the licensee. Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of state, tribal, and local government radiological 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. 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.

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-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 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 protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

Formal submission of the State of North Carolina and involved local jurisdictions of the radiological emergency response procedures for the Brunswick Nuclear Plant was on July 15, 1981. Formal approval was granted by FEMA on March 17, 1982, and the qualifying emergency preparedness exercise occurred August 17-19, 1981.

Core Capabilities and Exercise Objectives Core 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 exercise objectives meet the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program requirements and encompass the emergency preparedness evaluation areas. The critical tasks to be demonstrated were negotiated with the State of North Carolina and the 11

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program After Action Report 2018 Brunswick Nuclear Plant participating counties. The core capabilities scheduled for demonstration during this exercise were:

• .**Operational Coordination: Establish and maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and process that appropriately integrates all critical stakeholders and

• supports the execution of Core Capabilities.

Brunswick County Emergency Services staff successfully demonstrated their. ability to deliver coordinated, accurate, and actionable information to the :public: This was demonstrated in part through their participation in the joint information system.

The alert and notification system, which consisted of sirens, the Emergency Alert System, and tone alert radios, was notionally.activated twice during the exercise. New Hanover County activated sirens on behalf of Brunswick County since they were

• operating out of a temporary facility. Brunswick County's siren activation-console was fully functional at.the. primary emergency operations center and was available* if needed.

Pre.iscripted Emergency Alert* System messages were, modified by Brunswick County and coordinated with New Hanover County and the state. The state was then responsible for initiating the Emergency Alert System. Tone alert radios were activated by the National Weather Service at the state's request. Backup alert and notification of the public was successfully demonstrated as an out of sequence activityi The demonstration was

• completed by a member of-Brunswick County Emergency Services *after notification of a simulated failure of siren B3. The dispatched emergency worker was trained on dosimetry and potassium iodide, knew the route, and after being dispatched, successfully completed it within a timely manner.

The public information officer coordinatedthe formulation of three press releases with all involved, stakeholders. She maintained frequent coordination with her counterparts-.in the joint information system via a conference bridge line, which was established and remained open for the entire exercise.
