Dear Mr. Spessard:
Enclosed is a copy of the final exercise report for the June 8-9, 1993, full-participation plume exposure pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency, response plans site-specific to the Monticello Nuclear Power Plant.
The State of Minnesota and Sherburne and Wright Counties participated in this exercise.
The final exercise report was prepared by the Federal Emergency-Management Agency (FEMA) Region V staff.
A copy of this report will be provided to the State of Minnesota by the FEMA Region V staff.
There were no Deficiencies identified during the June 8-9,
- 1993, exercise.
There were, however, eight Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified.
Seven ARCAs were corrected and cleared during the August 30,
- 1994, Prairie Island biennial offsite exercise.
FEMA Region V staff will monitor the status of the corrective action for the remaining ARCA.
Based on the results of the June 8-9, 1993, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Minnesota and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Monticello Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.
Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Minnesota site-specific to the Monticello Nuclear Power Plant, granted on May 10, 1985, will remain in effect.

{
sheltering.
The State of Illinois met this objective.
i 5
The REAC Commander, and reactor and environmental analysts-worked well together in evaluating the large amount of information available in the REAC.
Plume dose projections were completed for whole body-(plume) and ing'estion pathways. -They also' monitored meteorological data.
Source-term dose projection data, meteorological data, and field team data were provided to the REAC by the Utility.
Dose projection calculations were performed on computer using models.
Dose projections were consistent with those provided by Utility.
Back-up dose projection computers also existed but were not demonstrated because the scenario did not drive it.
Release dose rates were very low and did not drive PARS.
The PARS were based on a degrading plant condition and an estimated release duration of six hours.
There were also very low projected lodine levels that did not drive the recommendation for ingestion.of KI.
Ingestion of KI was recommended based on the fact that the release was unfiltered and unmonitored.
The field monitoring teams were simulated as having been mobilized and dispatched.
At the EOF two IDNS staff members functioned as liaisons between the REAC, the Utility and other State agencies..They were to implement any directives or instructions ordered from the REAC in Springfield.
Due to the scope of the exercise they were not i
involved in the dose assessment or PAR decision-making activ.~ ties because all recommendations were made by the RAC based on plant conditions.
No assistance was requested from the EOF.
1 GBJECTIVE 9:
PLUME PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING l
Demonstrate the capability to make timely and appropriate protective action decisions (PAD).
The State of Illinois met this objective.
SEOC All protective action recommendations (PAR) were forwarded by the IDNS representatives to the Chief of Operations located in the 18
State EOC, based on information received from the REAC and the Utility.
Two PARS were made and promulgated during this exercise.
The first PAR addressed the sheltering of dairy animals and that the public should stay tuned to the station for further information, and the second PAR included evacuation and sheltering people, and ingestion of KI for emergency workers and immobile populations.

The initia? decision regarding sheltering animals was primarily based on Utility recommendations.
The subsequent PAR regarding l
evacuation and sheltering people, ingestion of KI for emergency workers and immobile populations, was made after more extensive discussion and consideration of all pertinent factors.
Once the PARS were received by the Chief of Operations they were i
forwarded to the Governor's office for approval.
REAC The REAC Commander was responsible for the formulation of protective actions.
The REAC Commander conferred with the reactor and environmental analysts in formulating recommendations.
The REAC Commander had access to dose projection data, meteorological data, plant conditions, plant status, and plant, site boundary, and plume EPZ radiological data for use in the formulation of protective actions.
The low-level radiation release was not sufficient enough to drive protective actions.
Protective actions were based on degrading plant conditions and a Utility estimated release duration of six hours.
The protective action recommended (secona PAR) to the SEOC at 1127 hours0.013 days <br />0.313 hours <br />0.00186 weeks <br />4.288235e-4 months <br /> called for evacuation of the general population radially within 0-2 miles, sheltering within 2-10 miles downwind, and issuance of KI to emergency workers.
The Ogle County liaison questioned why immobile and institutionalized individuals were not included in the recommendation.
The REAC Commander responded saying he did not know if they should have been and did not refer to Standard Procedure 4-SOP-4, Attachment 2 [IDNS Recommendation to Administer Potassium Iodide (KI) (a form)].
The REAC Commander did revise the recommendation to include immobile and institutionalized individuals, however, that was due to staff discussions not because he followed the procedure.
The REAC Commander did not send Attachment 2 of 4-SOP-4 to State EOC to confirm the KI recommendation.
With this exception, plans and procedures were followed.

The movement of cars / people entering the school yard, i
The monitoring of vehicles and evacuees for contamination, The movement of non-contaminated individuals directly to the i
Red Cross for registration, The decontamination of contaminated individuals using showers, with subsequent registration by the Red Cross.
]
The monitoring of vehicles was accomplished using hand-held radiation monitors with pancake probes and earphones.
A trigger 4
1 point of 300 counts per minute (cpm) above background was used to identify the need for decontamination.
Following monitoring, i
vehicles were moved to separate parking lots depending on whether it was clean or contaminated.
If contaminated the vehicle would eventually be decontaminated by a local fire department.
24 j
~
=
Evacuees were monitored with two Eberline portal monitors.
These portal monitors are used to identify general contamination on a person.
If a person is identified as contaminated, they are singled out for a more lengthy monitoring process using hand-held monitoring devices; this process localizes the source of the contamination and the person is then decontaminated as necessary.
Again, a trigger point of 300 cpm above background is used as an identifier both before and after decontamination.
There are two showers, both handicapped accessible, one for males, one for females.
If an individual cannot be decontaminated after two attempts, he/she are referred to a medical facility for further treatment.
Following successful decontamination, an individual is given clothing and sent te the Red Cross for registration.
All necessary equipment, except for that provided by a local fire department for the decontamination of vehicles, is provided by the IDNS; they have trucks that are outfitted with portal monitors, hand-held monitors, ropes, cones, paperwork, etc.
These trucks stage in Springfield at the IDNS headquarters and are dispatched to designated reception centers when needed.

OBJECTIVE 16:
IMPLEMENTATION OF PROTECTIVE ACTIONS - SCHOOLS Demonstrate the capability and resources necessary to implement
{
protective actions for school children within the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ).
Ogle County met this objective.
An evaluation of the Meridian Community School District, which encompasses the schools in Ogle County, was conducted out-of-sequence on May 11, 1993.
Findings from this evaluation were complemented the following day by activities demonstrated in the l
Ogle County EOC during the exercise.
During the May 11 evaluation, separate interviews were conducted with the District Superintendent, the Meridian Junior High School Principal, a Monroe Center teacher / bus driver, and the District Bus Supervisor.
Each person interviewed was selected at random by the Federal evaluator from among the group of principals, teachers, and drivers that had been assembled by the District 35 l
i l
l Superintendent.
All were aware of the school's written procedures and knowledgeable of their specific emergency functions.
Tone-alert radios located in the superintendent's and each principal's offices are the schools' first alert of an incident involving Byron Station.
Thece radios are tested every Wednesday This alerting method is augmented by a telephone notification from the Regional School Superintendent located in the Ogle County EOC.
The District Superintendent initiates a l
telephone call-down tree to:
the various schools, the bus supervisor and drivers, administrative staff, and custodians.
i l
A copy of the call-down list to be used was available and current.
l The District Superintendent can initiate early dismissal of the schools if warranted.
Each student has been issued a handbook containing information pertinent to emergency procedures.
Each student's parent / guardian has also completed a form providing the school with instructions concerning the student in event of an emergency.
This process ensures that the parents and the schools are aware of the student's whereabouts.
The process is supplemented by telephone calls from the schools to the parents' emergency contacts.
It is further enhanced by brochures distributed with the mailing of utility bills.
There are a few sixth, seventh, and eighth graders who, unless met at the bus l
stop by an adult, would be kept on the bus and returned to the reception center.
The buses are equipped with two-way radios and the bus supervisor can instruct the driver concerning these
" latch-key" children or others whose homes may be in the plume.
Information concerning the schools is also included in local emergency broadcast station radio broadcasts and press releases from the JPIC.
It is estimated that 21 buses would be required to evacuate the 1,310 students, pre-school through 12th grade.
The District has 28 buses, including a lift-equipped bus, which is in daily use to accommodate the one mobility-impaired student presently enrolled.
l Additional resources are available from other nearby districts and the Ryder Transportation Company.
Traffic control around the schools and escort for bus convoys is provided by ogle County Auxiliary Police..
Bus drivers would be on routes familiar to them.

Byron Nuclear Power Station 1993 GSEP Exercise May 12,1993 Narrative Summary Initial Conditions Unit One:
Unit One has bean operating at 100% power for the past one-hundred twenty (120) i days. The IB Safety Injection (SI) pump is out of service (OOS) due to repairs necessitated by high vibration readings. MA==ia=1 Maintenance is scheduled to make repairs and return the pump to service on May 12' around 1300. The Unit has l
been experiencing Digital Electro-Hydraulic Control (DEHC) problems and j
Operations Analysis Department (OAD) has been notified and are scheduled to begin troubleshooting by 1200 today (5/12/98). Nuclear Fuel Services PWR Plant Support Engineers have been working closely with the station's Nuclear Group Engineers (NUKES) to resolve recent unexplained Reactor Core Quadrant Power Tilt Ratio i
(QPTR) problems. Incore Flux Maps have revealed increased laaalid axial peaking in quadrant four (4) of the station's core. Unit One has been experien.cing increased Iodine (I") levels in the core for the past eight (8) days and the Shift Engineer has requested the Chemistry Department to increase their sampling frequency.
Chemistry levels are below' the Tachniaal Specification's limit. The Unit 1A Diesel Generator monthly surveillance run has been scheduled for today at 0745.
Unit Two:
Unit Two is in Day One (1) of an expected 59 day refueling outage. Fuel Handlers.
are preparing the necessary equipment in the spent fuel pool area for.the upcoming i
Unit Two refueling activities. Fuel Handlers are expected to test the Fuel Handling Building crane and grappling tools today to ensure their operability for the upcoming scheduled outage. The transfer canal is' dry and has not been flooded for refueling activities.
Unit Zeros Commonwealth Edison's Public Affairs Department has scheduled a tour of one ofits nuclear facilities for the month of May. Byron Station being among the industry leaders was chosen ~ to host the tour services for a group in order to provide intervenors (10 representatives) with an informed and educational background on the operation of a nuclear facility and the need to support nuclear energy. Citizen for Efficient Energy (CEE), Union for the Preservation of the Earth (UPE), and Lawyers Aligned with Wind Energy (LAWe) are among the expected groups to tour the facility at (1000) today.

I Byron Nuclear Power Station 1993 GSEP Exercise May 12,1993 Unusual Event (0800 - 0830)
At 0800 an audible alarm is received on the Unit One Control Room RM-11, (IRT-PR006) Gross Failed Fuel Monitor indicating fuel failure.
i Expected Action l
The Unit One NSO will call up the alarming channel and discover, the IRT-PR006, failed fuel monitor is the problem. The NSO upon examining the EALs will discover -
I that an Unusual Event should be declared as a result of the alarm.
The Shift Engineer shall declare an Unusual Event per EAL 2b (failed fuel monitor LREPR006B (RM-11 PS206)] indicates :t:.22 microcurie /mlindicative of 0.1% fuel failure). Chemistry will be notified to sample RCS and perform required Technical Speci6 cation Surveillance.
l Alert (0830 - 0945) i At 0815, the Fuel Handlers (Response Cell) will call the Control Room to inform them that a tool-box was accidently toppled over into the Transfer can=1 gate, severing an Instrument Air line, causing a. rapid drop in level within the Spent Fuel l
Pool. The Fuel Pool will have dropped below the Technical Specification required level by 0830. The Control Room receives an alarm on panel IPM06J indicating a problem with the Spent Fuel Pit level. The Spent Fuel Pit will continue to drain ontil it is either stopped by the Station or when the Transfer Canal volume levels out ih the Spent Fuel Pool. At 0930 a fault occurs on the 1A Control Room Chiller.
e Control Room Chiller breaker fails open causing an eighty-six (86) lockout and w
a io s of Bus 141.
Expected Action i
After being notified by the Fuel Handlers of the accident involving the toppled toolbox, the Control Room should dispatch an operator to investigate. The shift upon hearing the operator's report will then dispatch mechanical maintenance to troubleshoot and make repairs. The Control Room NSO will investigate the alarm by using the BARS. An Alert will be declared per EAL 9g (Fuel Fool Level with i
irradiated fuel in the pool decreases below the Technical Specification limit) or EAL 5c.(same as previous). The operator will isolate the instrument air line 3

Site Emergency I
(0945 - 1100) 3 1
The IB and 10 Feedwater pumps trip and the 1A Feedwater pump will not start.
l The Control Room receives the S/G Low Low Reactor Trip alarm on panel IPM05J.
An-Anticipated Transient Without SCRAM (ATWS) occurs and usanual attempts by the Control Room crew to trip the reactor will result in failure. The turbine will also fail to manually trip due to a clogged return line on the EH reservoir caused by an i
i j
EH reservoir leak. In response to the increasing pressure in the Reactor Coolant j
System (RCS), the Pressuriser Power Operated umHar Valves (PORVs) and f
1RY8010A,B,and C Safeties will lift in response to the pressure transient. The
~
resulting transient will cause the Pressurizer Relief Tank (PRT) to rupture and permit a release of radiative steam and fluids to the containment building and j
containment sump. The IB Aux-Feed pump fails to start due to low suction pressure 1
resulting from a failed pressure transmitter. Two (2) Steam Generator (S/G) Safeties l
will have stuck open on the ID S/G. At 0948 the IB Chemical Volume (CV) pump j
will shear its shaft key and degrades below design operation capability. The Control Room NSO will be able to observe low motor amps on the pump when monitoring the l
panet When the Briefing Officers or Corporate Emergency Planner arrives at the EOF and attempts to power up the Emergency Management Center (EMC) visual
]
equipment, the equip. ment initially starts-up but shortly de-energizes. All attempts j
to turn the equipment on by the power switch will fail. At 1005 the group of l
intervenors, scheduled to tour the site, phones the station manager from a gas station j
in Byron inquiring about the validity of conditions that they have heard via radio j
news announcements. They will request information about what they should do and i
the acceptability of going to the EOF for further information.
