Washington, D.C. 20472 JJL 3 01985 MEMORANDUM FOR:

Edward L. Jordan Director Division of Emergency Preparedness and Engineering Response Office of Inspection and Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission FROM:

Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs

SUBJECT:

Illinois and Wisconsin Schedule of Corrective Actions for Deficiencies Identified During the Zion Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Exercise Conducted on March 6,1985 Attached are the proposed schedules of corrective actions submitted by the States of Illinois and Wisconsin for the deficiencies noted in the Final Report for the Zion Nuclear Power Plant offsite REP Exercise conducted on March 6, 1985. The exercise report was sent to you on May 23, 1985.

One deficiency affecting the public health and safety (Category A) was identified during the course of the exercise. The Category A deficiency (NUREG evaluation criterion J.10.j) for Lake County, Illinois resulted because proper procedures for determining appropriate traffic control measures were not followed and, as a result, a road was allowed to remain open by which the public could have entered the area affected by the plume. To correct this deficiency, Illinois has scheduled training for the Lake County traffic and access control staff for August 21, 1985. This training will include a demonstration by the appropriate staff of their ability to effectively implement procedures relating to traffic and access control. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V staff will observe and evaluate the effectiveness of the training.

FEMA Headquarters and Region Y staff have reviewed the proposed schedules of corrective actions submitted by Illinois and Wisconsin and found them to be appropriate. However, a final decision cannot be provided until the training scheduled by Illinois for the Lake County traffic and access control staff has been observed and evaluated by FEMA Region V.

Recomendations geo g o wisconsin (ammunity) l.

Some calculations by the dose assessment staff were not checked by a second independent calculation. An effort should be made to have two individual calculations separately perforined and conpare results rather than two people working a calculation together.

turing future exercises, when dose calculations are made, they will be checked by a second, independent calculation.

2.

Protective action recomendations for sheltering animals and placing on stored feed should be given not simply as " place animals on stored feed."

In the future, protective action reconnendations will call for sheltering animals and placing them on stored feed.

3.

When field team menbers enter a known contaminated area they should minimally don protective shoe covers and then survey themselves for surface contamination before re-entering the vehicle. Protective gloves should be removed before touching clean equipment in the vehicle.

I 1he State Radiological Coordinator has expressed concern that the donning of protective clothing when levels of contamination are not yet ascertained, particularly in residential areas, may have an alarming effect on the local population which may be of greater inportance than the small amount of contamination that may be transferred to the vehicle if such clothing is not worn.

1 4.

1he State of Wisconsin should consider distribution of media press kits at the JPIC.

)

In the future, media information packets will be available for distribution at the JPIC.

5.

Re-entry restrictions should be thoroughly explained in the messages sent to local governments.

Re-entry restrictions will be discussed by the Officer-in-01arge, the SRC, and appropriate agency representatives prior to their transmission to local governments so that the local officials can be given all necessary information relating to those restrictions.

6.

Ebture scenarios which include a time ju:1p should also include a description of activities which occurred or were conpleted during the time junp (e.g. evacuation).

l

'Ihe activities which occurred or were conpleted during a time jtmp will be included in future scenarios.

I 7.

Consideration should be given to providing radiological information from the SRC to local goverrunents.

'Ihe SRC will provide radiological data to the counties in future exercises.

Recomendations Kenosha Cbunty (Gnunity) 1.

Specific procedures and instruction for EOC staff in the formlation of EBS messages would be useful. A general outline for message preparation could be included in the Cbunty Plan.

Procedures and instructions for EDC staff in the formulation of EBS messages will be worked out with State staff and included in the County Plan.

2.

Mrsonnel of the County Sheriff's Department and (bunty Highway Department should receive specialized training in preparation for the potential of their participation in an incident involving the Zion mclear Ibwer Station.

Sheriff, Tolice and County Highway persomel will be requested to visit the EDC through their departments for specialized training for participation in an incident at the Zion teclear Ibwer Station.

3.

Plan procedures for controlled railroad access to the EPZ should be addressed during the next annual training session and identified in the planning process.

Plan procedures for controlled access of CPM railroad trains into the EPZ will be addressed during the next annual training session. A procedure will have to.be worked out to stop trains from the north in Racine County and Iake Cbunty, Illinois will be responsible for stopping northbound trains.

4.

Rosters should be available to the Center Maneger if this individual is to be responsible for maintaining continuous operations at the reception /t:ongregate care center.

Will request Social Services and Red Cross Directors to develop rosters of their persomel for the purpose of shif t changes at reception / congregate care centers.

5.

A miti-copy registration form should be considered for the registration of evacuees.

Red Cross and Social Servims Directors will be requested to develop and use miti-copy registration form for the registration of evacuees.

Fecu...z.-dations (Omtd.)

Kenosha Cbunty (comunity) 6.

':he Wheatland Center Grade School is not suited for special needs individuals, therefore a more suitable reception / congregate care center should be designated.

In the future the Wheatland Center Grade School will not be used as congregate care for the handicapped. Arrangements had been made prior to the exercise for the handicapped to come into a side door at the school (parking lot level) directly to the gymasium for reception. Iunch trays were to be brought to them. Ebr some reason the Red Cross arranged the reception in another location -- the handicapped had to go up about five steps to be registered and go after their meals.

7.

Mditional training on EPA PAG's for the Radiological staff and inclusion of the EPA PAG's in the Cbunty Plan is recomended.

Additional training will be given to the Radiological staff on the EPA PAG's with inclusions added to the (bunty Plan.

8.

Future scenarios which include a time junp should also include a description of activities which occurred or were conpleted during the time junp (e.g. evacuation).

In the future a description of all activities that have taken place during the time jtmps will be included in the scenario.
