AN EQUAL OPDORTUNITY EYCLoYER

m STATE OF MINNESOTA RESPONSE TO THE FINAL REPORT FOR THE MONTICELLO SITE-SPECIFIC OFF-SITE EXERCISE OF MARCH 2, 1982, SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES

1. G3a*

Comment for the State of Minnesota:

The JPIC has not been fully implemented as a single point of media contact. A single media center should be desig-nated; PI0s from the utility, State, and two counties should be assigned to it.

Response

The criteria referenced reads as follows:

"Each principal organization shall designate the points of contact and physical locations for use by news media during an emergency."

As explained in our response to the Prairie Island " Final Report", we feel the requirement as stated in NUREG 0654 has been met. .

2. J10a Comment for the State of Minnesota:

Maps of relocation centers and shelter areas were not available in the EOC; these additional resources should be provided.

Sherburne County:

Maps of evacuation routes, relocation and shelter areas, and population by sector were missing. Available maps were placed on chairs against the walls, obstructing E0C traffic. A full set of required maps should be obtained for the county and municipal EOCs; these maps should be wall-mounted.

Response

Additional maps showing relocation centers and population distribution will be provided to each EOC. Appropriate mountings will.be installed in the Sherburne County EOC before the next exercise.

The references that precede each deficiency correspond to evaluation criteria from NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1, Part II.

/

3. A 1d Comment for Sherburne County:

Clear control and coordination by a single individual of emergency response activities were not established. The civil defense director did not hold staff meetings- or oral briefings.

Almost all activities were simulated; little attempt was made to coordinate emergency response activities. Additional training and drills of emergency response personnel is recommended.

Response

The next Monticello Exercise is scheduled for February 23, 1983.

This exercise will be " Full Scale" for the State agencies, as well as for the counties. All major components of the Clear command and emergency response plan will be exercised.

coordination by a single county operations chief will be shown and staff briefings will be conducted periodically.

4. E6 Comment for Sherburne and Wright Counties:

Compliance of hhe prompt alsrting and notification system with NUREG 0654 criteria cannot be established until the system is evaluated by FEMA.

Response

Training of county staff members and a public information pro-gram is proceeding to insure accomplishment of the 15-minute r time limit for notification to the public. As required, the Pnomnt Alerting and Notification System (PANS) will be activated during the February 23, 1983 exercise. It would be appropriate ,

for the FEMA evaluation and certification to be done at that time.

5. F2 Comment for Sherburne County:

Communications with fixed and mobile medical support facilities were not established; this function should be demonstrated at a future exercise.

Response

During the February 23, 1983, Monticello Exercise, communication with fixed and mobile medical support facilities will be established.

6. K3b Comments for Sherburne County:

Emergency workers had dosimeters. However, dose records for emergency workers were not maintained. It is important that dose record cards be obtained, and that staff be trained in their use.

K5a Although Big Lake EOC staff had been exposed to the passing plume, no attempt was made to monitor or decontaminate them

~

at the county EOC. Training and drills for EOC staff in handling potentially contaminated persons are required.

Response

Training for emergency workers and the County Radiological Defense Officer will be conducted prior to the February 23, 1983 Monticello exercise. This training will include maintenance of dose records, personnel monitoring and decon-tamination procedures.

7. M1 Comment for Sherburne County:

Re-entry and recovery activities were not seriously attempted.

Training and drills in this function should be provided.

Response

Training in this function will be conducted for the Sherburne County EOC staff during the " dry run" exercise which precedes the February 23, 1983 exercise. Additional emphasis will be put on the re-entry and recovery phase of the exercise scenario in order to strengthen this portion of the county's response.

8. N1a Comment for Sherburne County:

The decision in Sherburne County to simulate most activities negated the potential benefit of this exercise for emergency response. Full participation by Sherburne County in future exercises is required.

Response

During the February 23, 1983 Monticello exercise, emergency response personnel will be fully activated.
