SUMMARY
The purpose of the Executive Summary is to provide an overview of the findings for the off-site evaluation of the State of Ohio partial participation and Columbiana County full participation during the October 25, 1988, unannounced exercise at the Beaver Valley Power Station.
This evaluation is a consensus of the eleven Federal evaluators who made up the evaluation form for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
l The exercise findings in this report will be identified into one of the following categories:
Deficiency: If this event happened or failed to happen during a real emergency public health and safety would have been affected.
Area Reauirina corrective Action:
The event observed during the exercise would not affect public health and safety if it had occurred during a real emergency.
The issue is serious enough, l
though, for FEMA to require a schedule of corrective action.
Area Recommended for Inorovement:
The event observed during the exercise wculd not affect public health and safety if it had occurred during a real emergency.
The issue is brought to the i
attention of State or local government as a recomtendation to improve plans cnd operations.
No schedule of corrective actions are required by FEMA.
The post exercise participants meeting to discuss the preliminary 4
results of the October 25, 1988, exercise was conducted at 1:30 i
p.m.

The status board was kept up to date on significant events by EOC staff assigned that responsibility.
The required maps were posted in the EOC.
The maps depicted the plume EPZ with sectors labeled, evacuation routes, relocation centers, access control points, radiological monitoring points, and population by evacuation areas.
The Dose Assessment staff demonstrated their ability to project dosage to the public via plume exposure based on plant and field data.
The calculations were based on wind speed and flow rates from the reactor containment, using plant data.
The projections were made by a computer program and verified by hand calculation.
The projected plume was plotted and displayed on a wall map. This was used in making protective action recommendations (PARS).
The State demonstrated the ability to make appropriate protective action decisions, based on projected or actual dosage, EPA PAG's, availability of adequate shelter, evacuation time estimates and other relevant factors.
l After plume dose projections were made, protective action decisions were made and communicated to the County and monitored in the field.
The decision was made to evacuate subarea A and to shelter sub areas B, C,
D and E.
The State Health Department issued the dairy advisory recommending that all lactating animals within the 10-mile EPZ of the utility site be sheltered and fed stored feed and protected water.
The utility PARS were a part of the decision making process along with coordinated action with Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Pennsylvania was slow in making a decision on 15
Therefore, the State of Ohio acted alone, initially, evacuation.

COLUMBIANA COUNTY The Columbiana County EMA Coordinator received the notification of the Alert Emergency Classification Level (ECL) at the BVPS from the sheriff's dispatcher at 1508.
Later ECLs, Site Afea Emergency at 1837 and General Emergency at 2105, were received from the BVPS in the Columbiana County EOC.
The ECLs were prominently displayed, and the staff was routinely briefed on the meanings of the current ECL.
The predetermined actions in the SOPS based on ECLs were effectively demonstrated by the CEOC management and staff.
As per SOPS, the Columbiana County EOC was activated at the Alert emergency classification.
Cells to mobilize emergency personnel commenced at 1522 by the sheriff's dispatcher per direction of the Columbiana County EMA Coordinator. A written, current correct call list was used, and calls ware completed in a timely rannar by 1602.
All EOC personnel required by the plan were present, with the EOC staffed by 1632.
On a separate action, the EMA coordinator directed a PIO.to proceed and report to the JPIC at approximately l
1600.
Constant checks with the JPIC revealed that the PIO never reported.
AREA REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION:
(NUREG-0654 Criteria Item E.2.)
The Columbiana County EMA Coordinator dispatched a County PIO to the JPIC at approximately 1600.
He never reported there.
There was no other PIO available to send to the JPIC.
Columbiana County L
did not have a representative at the JPIC as required by State and County plans and exercise objectives.
EECpMMENDATION:
In future exorcises Columbiana County must follow the State and County plans and have a
Public Information Officer /spokesperson at the JPIC.
Additional County staff should l
be identified and trained to provide needed depth in this position.
The concept of operation of the County EOC as specified in the plan was effectively demonstrated.
The Executive Group consisting of the County Board of Commissioners, County Sheriff, County Engineer l
and County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Coordinator conferred and decided on the appropriate emergency responses consistant with the protective actions recommended by the State and plant.
At 1929 during the Site Area Emergency Classification the County Commissioners approved and signed the Emergency Proclamation that declared a " State of Emergency" in the county.
Under the direction of the County EMA Coordinator, r.cting a.s the Chief of Staff, implementation of the Executive Group decisions were effectively demonstrated throughoat the exercise. Periodic briefings were held with the CEOC staff and included updates on the emergency situation and the status of the emergency responses of the CEOC agencies' personnel.
Copies of the plan end procedures were available and referenced by the EOC Staff.
Messages logs were maintained and copies of the messages were routed to the necessary agencies.
21
c Coordination within Ohio State, Beaver County, PA and Hancock, WV EOCs was maintained continuously using the dedicated telephone in the Executive Group room.
The EOC's communications systems demonstrated the capability to reach appropriate locations, organizations and field personnel.
The telephone was the primary system, backed by radio.
The latter medium included nets for emergency management, law enforcement, and fire egencies.
Back-up radio was provided by amateur radio components which included " Packet" radio, which provided hard copy or video display when tied to an IBM PCXT computer.
Though not used officially during emergency operations, the " Packet" system has great potential.
Though a datafax machine was available and used to send and receive from the JPIC, it appeared that an additional machine would enhance communications of operational information between the State and County EOCs. There were no undue delays noted, as all transmissions were made within a minute of start time.
The satisfactory demonstration of communications was consistent witn emergency plans and procedures.
Communications for the Assembly Area at the Negley, Ohio Fire Station was provided by two-way fire radio with the Columbiana EOC, commercial telephone between the Assembly Area and the EOC and alt.o the Keception/ congregate Care Center in the East Palestine, Ohio, High School.
RACES portable two-way radio was provided as a back-up system to both the County EOC and the Reception / Congregate Care Center; commercial telephone was the primary system with RACES two-way radio back-up.
Police and fire personnel at the center had two-way radio contact with their departments with walkie-talkie and vehicular radios.
All systems were tested during the exercise and functioned properly providing communications with the County EOC, the Assembly Area, and the local police and fire departments.
AREA RECOMMENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT:
It is recommended that additional hard copy capability be added for transmission of operational information between the plant, State and County.
The County EOC is a compact, well-designed facility which readily supported emergency operations.
Various spaces are set aside for I
executive, operations, and radiological activities as well as support functions, i.e., rest rooms, communications, and a limited food area.
Lighting, ventilations, and furnishings are adequate, and office machines, including a copier, are available. Security was provided and access was effectively controlled.
Emergency operations were readily supported by maps of the plume EPZ and appropriate planning area with population indicated, evacuation routes and care centers, radiological monitoring points, and a large EPZ map for agricultural information on ingestion.
The clearly visible status board was updated in a timely manner, indicating ECLs, protective action decisions, and weather data.
Organized consistent with the county plan, the EOC was an effective demonstration of facilities, equipment, and displays.

Emergency Worker Exposure Control Emergency workers assigned to the plume EPZ were equipped with a high and low range dosimeter, a TLD, KI, and appropriate record cards and instructions.
Emergency workers at the decontamination i
- station, access / traffic control point and care center were knowledgeable of dosimetry, allowable radiation
- levels, and knowledgeable c.' proper procedures to follow if radiation exposures readings increased.
Knowledge and actions of field personnel, and the procedural knowledge of staff at the EOC, indicate trained i
professionalism consistent with the County ple.n, and was a highly satisfactory demonstration of emergency worker exposure control.
Each of the volunteer fire people at the station were issued kits containing KI tablets, a lov and a high-range dosimeter and an eniergency instructions sheet which included instructions for use of dosimeters and the KI.
All perscnnel were knowledgeable of the and purpose of the dosimetry.
As decontamination center use operators, they were well informed of exposure control procedures and demonstrated their functions as prescribed by the current plan and standard operating procedures.
Due to the lack of actual emergency workers returning from the EPZ, a utility observer was drafted to be processed through the " hot line" and was properly monitored, decontaminated and fictitious records of his exposure l
were generated, using forms prescribed by the plan..
The department consists of 14 volunteer firefighters who had been on a fire call throughout the night prior to the exercise.
After that fire, they had gone to their jobs.
It is noteworthy that six of these volunteers, who had not slept in approximately 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />, responded when paged for the exercise and performed their assigned functions enthusiastically.

Plume Protective Action Decision-muking In the CEOC the Coun,y Executive Board concurred with the protective action recommendations of the plant and State to evacuate and shelter during the General' Emergency in a timely manner (two minutes).
Public Alert, Notification and Emergency Instruction During the Site Area Emergency Classification, the EMA Coordinator was advised via the dedicated telephone by the Beaver County EOC that they were going to sound their sirens in a few minutes and requested that Columbiana County do the same.
The Beaver County EOC was in the process of implementing a four mile evacuation in response to an actual hazardous materials spill.
The hazardous materials accident was not a threat to Columbiana County, but due to the fact that residents of East Liverpool, Columbiana County can t
hear when the Beaver County sirens are sounded, it was determined that Columbiana County necded to inform their residents that they vere not included in the hazardous materials spill evacuation. The l
Executive Group agreed and an EBS messace was prepared that advised the residents in the portion of the BVPS EPZ in Ohio that there was I
no action for them to take in response to the hazardous materials j
I spill.
The discussion with the adjacent Counties of Beaver, PA and Hancock, WV was at 2000.
The sirens were activated at 2009 and the EBS message was relayed to the radio station at 2009.
1 l
Although this hazardous material spill event was not a part of the Ohio scenario, the exercise activities impacted the Columbiana l
County operation.
The County Officials reacted with sound judgement to provide public instructions in a timely manner.
At 2105, when the BVPS notified the off-site organizations of the
)
escalation of the event to a General Emergency, they also provided the protective action recommendations (PARS) of evacuation of sub area A with sheltering of cub areas B C D E.
The Ohio State EOC accident assessment and emergency management staff agreed and obtained the Governor's approval. At 2120 the Ohio Governor's decision was determined and communicated to Columbiana County. The County Board of Commissioners concurred after a brief two-minute discussion and ordered the activation of the sirens and EBS systems.
The County EMA Coordinator, using the dedicated telephone. tried to synchronize the siren activation time with Beaver County but was unable to since PA had not yet decided the PAR.
Co3umbiana County activated their sirens and issued the EBS message at 2135 meeting the fifteen minute time requirement.
The EBS message contained the description of the area to be evacuated and sheltered in geograpnical/ political boundaries. Residents were instructed to refer to their emergency public information brochures 24
for information on evacuation routes and sheltering locations.
A PAR Instructions for sheltering in their homes was also given.
for lactating livestock in the EPZ included sheltering and placing them on stored feed and covered water.
public Information There were two people assigned to the Public Information function in the EOC.
One staff person collected the information and maintained the telephone communications with the JPIC and the other Once operated the facsimile machine sending hard-copy to the JPIC.
the EBS messages were issued to the radio station they were sent The Executive Group also originated brief public to the JPIC.
information statements to be sent to the JPIC and responses to the JPIC inquiries were obtain and communicated.

During the brief demonstration of traffic l
protective actions did not change.
The control by the trooper, l'
emergency classification was General Emergency with the order to evacuate the area bordered by the traffic control point.
l Methods to remove Impediments were discussed but not demonstrated.
1' traffic flow impediments were adequately discussed by responsible county agencies.
This discussion adequately demonstrated their l
capability to keep roadways open to vehicle traffic.
Assembly Area and Reception / Congregate Care Center The Negley, OH Fire Chief and Deputy received the Alert message at 1638, at which time partial activation of the Assembly Area was The site directed. This partial activation was completed at 1700.
Area Emergency message was received at 1845 and full mobilization of the Assembly Area was directed. Full activation of the Assembly Area was completed at 1910.
Use of personal dosimetry, record keeping, knowledge of exposure limits, and operation the CDV 700 for personnel and vehicle monitoring were capably demonstrated.
27
h The Reception / Congregate Care Center Manager was directed to stand At 1843 he was advised to report to the Center and at i
by at 1531.
1845 directed to notify staff to report to the Reception / Congregate Care Center.
The staff reported by 1915 and the Center was operational by 1929.
The American Red Cross managed the center which adequately demonstrated readiness to provide
- security,
- radiological monitoring, decontamination und registration services.
The Center staffing was organized for three, eight hour shifts operation.
The radiological monitoring and decontamination procedures were demonstrated by the East Palestine Fire Department in a very satisfactory manner.
The Reception / Congregate Care Center staff demonstrated readiness to provide security, sheltering, feeding, emergency nursing care, and counseling services to evacuees.
Provisions had been made to food and sleeping areas for evacuees.
The Red provide clothing, Cross maintains size-sorted clothing, the school food supplios had been inventoried and arrangements made for deliveries of food and necessary supplies from local
- vendors, and cots were l
other stockfilled to provide beds for the displaced population.
Nursing i
service was provided by the County Health Service and local ministers were available for disaster counseling.
The East Palestine High School Reception / Congregate Care Center was operational.
Emergency Worker Decontamination Center After notification of the Site Area Emergency, in activation of the decontamination station, the two fire trucks were moved from within the parking bay area to each side of the cement parking ramp in front of the fire station.
The trucks were spaced approximately 60 feet apart.
The space between them was provided for decontaminating emergency workers' vehicles.
The ramp sloped slightly to the downhill side where run-off water would enter a drain into the underground drain sewer system.
Contamination washed from the vehicles would be contained within this system and it's outlet until experts could assess and dispose of it.
at
" Clean" vehicles would be parked across the street in a paved lot that could accommodate about 60 cars.
Vehicles that could not be decontaminated to safe levels would be moved into a separate parking area by the fire station and retained as long as necessary.
Vehicle decontamination was not selected as an exercise objective to be demonstrated, but was explained by knowledgeable personnel and existing capability at the fire station was well adapted to the purpose.
The three empty parking bays inside the station were quickly With converted into the emergency worker decontamination mode.
the bay doors closed, foot traffic was routed through a side door toward the front of the building.
Butcher paper was unrolled and taped to the floor to make a path for emergency workers to follow to the radiation monitors, the contaminated clothing barrels and 28
=
s showers.
If this paper had become contaminated, anotner layer would have been unrolled on top of it and taped into place to trap radioactive particles and provide a new " clean" path.
Additional layers would be added as required.
All layers would be rolled up at one time for disposal.
Two shower heads, approximately six feet apart projected from the rear wall of the parking bay area.
Each was surrounded by a circular ehower rod and curtain.
During activation, cut pieces of pipe were taken from an attic-like storage area and assembled into a frame work for two dressing areas that also enclosed the showers.
Curtains were hung on the frame to provide privacy and contaminated clothing disposal barrels were placed in each.
The barrels were marked for radioactive waste materials.
Plastic tubs about 2 1/2 feet square and 18 inches deep were placed inside each shower curtained area.
A 2 or 2 1/2 inch plastic pipe was connected to the tubs' drain connections and extended some 8 or 10 feet to a floor drain into the sewer system.
Soap, towels, paper robes and disposable. coveralls were available in each dressing room.
Six CDV-777 kits or radiation monitoring instruments were available.
Batteries were installed and the instruments were checked and zeroed.
Each volunteer firefighter who responded from paging and the sounding of the local fire siren was issued a kit containing high and low range dosimeters, a TLD, a bottle of KI tablets and an exposure control record form.
The dosimeters were charged and the forms were completed as of that time.
Two firefighters, one male and one female, were assigned to be the monitoring team.
These two individuals dressed in disposable radiation protective coveralls, hoods, booties and double gloves.
Hoods and cuffs were properly taped to prevent radioactive particles from getting on the skin or on the regular clothing worn under the protective clothing.
AREA RECOMMENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT:
It is suggested that surgical type masks be provided for wear by the two monitors to prevent their inhalation of any radioactive particles that might become airborne or transferred through contact during monitoring.
It was noted that the monitors' emergency worker kits were attached to the outside of their protective clothing to be accessible.
1 To provide " hot line" demonstration an observer f*om the utility was volunteered to serve as an emergency worker decontaminee.
He i
entered the decontamination area, was directed to keep on the paper path to the monitoring station.
The first monitor was equipped with forms on a clipboard and recorded identifying information.
Then the other monitor began the actual monitoring.
She passed the probe over the individual's arms, hands, head, body, legs and feet very slowly and methodically, aware of the slow reaction time of I
I the CDV-700.
She was careful to hold the probe with the open 1
29 l
l l*
1 l
4 window toward the source being monitored and approximately an inch from the surface being monitored.
At all times, she watched the probe and depended upon the earphone, glancing at the meter only i
-when she was prompted by the controller that she had detected radiation. She told the monitor / recorder the intensity encountered and anatomical location.
He recorded this information on the worker's record form.
Upon completion of monitoring, because intensity above.3 mr/hr was detected on the worker's hands and trouser leg, the worker was instructed to simulate washing his hands first at the shower tub, then, in the dressing room, removing and discarding his shoes and trousers.
After re-monitoring, he would have been provided disposable coveralls and booties to wehr home.
The estimated value of his discarded clothing and shoos was recorded.
The " trigger point" radiation level requiring decontamination was known by all the volunteer firefighters.
It was also on a sign posted on the wall near the showers.
In addition, the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief explained the process for referring or transporting individuals to a medical facility for any required further assistance.
In final summary, the volunteer fire department at Glenmoor developed procedures and capability to perform service as an emergency worker decontamination station.
These personnel demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the decontamination process, adapted their fecility into a decontamination station mode and followed their written procedures to accomplish their purpose.
It is noteworthy that these volunteers had been firefighting all l
night prior to the exercise, had worked at their regular jobs that l
day and yet, without sleep for at least 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />, responded to the
, exercise and displayed enthusiasm and interest throughout the I
exercise.
Tired as they were, they performed the decontamination tasks in a highly professional manner.
(-
I The October 25, 1988 exercise, for the BVPS was unannounced.
No one at the County level knew the exact day or starting time of the exercise; they were provided only with a one week window.
The staff alerting started at 1522 and was completed at 1602.
Telephone and pagers were used to alert EOC Staff.
The first EOC Staff person that reported who did not already work in the building was the Sheriff at 1530.
The EOC was completely staffed at 1632.
The unannounced mobilization of staff activation of the EOC was successfully demonstrated in a timely manner following their plan and procedures.
