Jordan Director Division of Emergency Preparedness and * ' Engineering Response Office of Inspection and Enforconent Nu ear R ul t ry Canetssion , FROM: . e nb ) Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards StJBJECT: Post-Exercise Assessment For The Sale / Hope Creek April 23,1985 Remedial Exercise This is to transmit the post-exercise assessnent for the April 23, 1985, reedial exercise for the Sale / Hope Creek Nuclear Power Plants, in Sala County, New Jersey. The assessment was prepared by Region II, Federal Emergency Managment Agency (FEMA). The exercise was conducted to resolve 4 Category A deficiencies (i.e., deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding) resulting from the October 1984 full-scal e exercise at' the Sal e/ Hope Creek site. The first three concerned the Salen County energency operations center (EOC). The , fourth concerned the Sala County congregate care center. To resolve the l deficiencies, it was necessary to activate fully the Salen County E0C. There was only partial activation and limited evaluation of the State energency response organization and municipalities. In brief, the deficiencies were: ,
- Weak overall managenent and coordination of infonnation in the Salen County EOC;
- Significant delays at the Sala County E0C in notifying some of the mun'cipalities of the stated decision to evacuate certain areas;
- Significant delays at the Sala County E0C in notifying some of the municipalities of the State decision to administer XI;
- There were no radiological monitoring teans or equipment at the congregate care shelter to monitor evacuees for possible contamination.
The deficiencies concerning the Sala County congregate care center were resolved at the April exercise. The other three Category A deficiencies were reduced to a Category B l evel . Improvenent is primarily attributed to the Deputy Director of the new Jersey Office of Emergency Management (OEM), who participated in the exercise as State liaison to Salen County and was instrumental in facilitating operations management at the Sal en County and successful denonstration of the exercise objectives.

detennined that New Jersey must devel op an interim pl an (pl an suppl snent) to provide management by the State in the. Sal em County E0C until the County is able to be in full control of the overall energency response. - e The State of New Jersey has taken immediate measures to rectify this situation. The State Of fice of Emergency Management fully recognized the inability of Salem County energency managment officials to coordinate the activities necessary to provide for the safety of Salen County residents in the event of a radiol ogical energency. Attached are two letters fram Major Harold Spedding, Deputy Director of the New Jersey OEM. The letters, dated May 17, 1985, and June 18, 1985, describe corrective actions being taken by the State to resolve conpl etely the deficient areas concerning the Sat. sn County E0C. The procedures described in the letters are now being incorporated in the pl ans. It is FEMA's view that the corrective actions schedule proposed by the State of New. Jersey is adequate to resolve the deficiencies still remaining in connection with the Salen County E0C. The State is addressing the problen aggressively and is keeping to its schedule. Some training has already taken pl ace. In addition, although not mentioned in the two letters fran the State, a drill has been scheduled for October 1,1985, to test the new, conpensatory management strategy proposed for the Sal en County EOC. The objectives for this drill have already been received and reviewed by FEMA's Region II office. In view of the improved perfonnance in connection with the previous Category A deficiencies, and the aggressive corrective actions being taken by the State, F8iA has reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the pub,lic living in New Jersey in the vicinity of the Salen/ Hope Creek site ' can be protected.

Dear Mr. Kovieski:
The State office of Emergency Management functions as the Governors representative mder the Civil Defense and Disaster Control Act as amended. Under said act the Governor is autliorized to utilize and employ all available resources of the state and of each and every political subdivision of the state. This authority extends to equipment, facilities at.d personnel services. An extract of this Act is provided for your review. The OEM has assessed the situation at Salem County and concluded that the problem stems f rom a need for stronger coc: mand and control and the development of an operations staff similar than at the State Emergency Operations Center. Our intent is to provide the staffing for the command and control function and the operations staff until such time as Salem County has demonstrated an ability to operate without state assistance. at this time. A brief description of the We envision a staff of four from the state staff positions is attached. The state OEM will modify the Artificial Island Plan Salem County Appendix to provide for the expanded role of the state in the Salem EOC. The following plan elements will require changes; B. Emergency Facilities
- Emergency Operations Center, F. Plan Implementation, Notification and Com=unications, Com=and and coordination, Protective Actions and Parallel Actions.
The modified plan elements vill be developed according to the attached time line. If you have questions please feel free to en11 this i e.

SUMMARY
l } l ! There have been four joint full-scale exercises for the SNGS: Apell 8,1981, i J October 13, 1982, October 28, 1983, and October 23, 1984. These previous, full-scale ! j esereises differed from this latest, remedial exercise in several respects. During this I remedial eneroise, FEMA required only partial activation of state and some county and , munfelpal organisations. The focus was on those components related to defielenotes '; ! that, la FEMA's opinion, could lead to a negative finding. l Durlag the Ootober 23, 1984, esMilse, FEMA identified four deftalenotes la Salem County.that fell into this eategory. Belefly, these defiolenotes were - ! 1) Messages from the Salem County EOC (SCEOC) to some munlet- ! pelities concerning the deelston to shelter certain sectors were delayed or not received at all by at least one munlolpality, ; 3 2) Messages with the deelston to evacuate certain sectors were I
- delayed to some munfelpalities for up to 16 hours, !
I !
- 3) Messages with the deelston to distribute and administer potassium :
- lodide (II) for emergency workers were delayed for up to 16 hours, !
i and i ! i l 4) There were no radiologloal monitoring personnel or equipment at f j the Salem County Congregate Care Center to monitor evacuees l i for eentamination. i The remedial exercise was designed primarily to determine whether these four i defielenotes had been corrected. To accomplish this, it was necessary to activate l command and control in West Trenton, State Polloe Headquarters, effect full activation [ , of Salem County EOC, and partial activation of the Salem County munlolpal EOCs. > l FEMA did not observe the Cumberland County EOC. There was also limited l demonstration of fleid activities including simulation of school evacuation, congregate j care shelters, decontamination center and the New Jersey Bureau of Radiation Protecti:n (BRP) functions related to communloation with fleid monitoring team. . The remedial eneroise was evaluated by a 13-member federsi observer team ! comprised of FEMA, Agency representatives to the Regional Assistance Committee j ! (RAC), and contractors. A preliminary briefing for exercise participants and the general i
- publio was conducted by the RAC Chairman at the Pubile Servloe Electrio and Gas i Company (PSE&O) Salem Training Center in Salem, New Jersey on Apell 25, 1985. l l Subsequently, detailed evaluations have been reviewed by FEMA and compiled in this
- document.
I 't l Section 1 of this report presents background Information on the 1985 exercise, L describes the evaluation eriteria and exercise objectives, and presents a description of [ the exerols's scenarlo. ; l l l u ! C___
Each exerelse defielency and the corresponding recommendation is described by jurlsdiction in Sec. 2 of this report. Section 3 provides a form for developing a schedule for correcting deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding and other deficiencies based on the April 23, 1985, remedial exercise. Section 4 tabulates the status of deficiencies observed at all the rad!ological emergency preparedness exercises held in conjunction with the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. New Jersey State EOC (West Trenton) The staff participating in the exercfie displayed adequate training and knowledge of their responsibilities. Maps were equ!pped with new, colored, transparent overlays Indicating tho' direction of the plume and sectors where protective actions were implemented. Also, communication between the DRP staffs stationed at the EOF and State EOC staff was prompt and effective. This corrects a deficiency from the October 23, 1984, exercise. A number of other deficiencies pertaining to BRP operations were addressed and resolved adequately by BRP staff members in the EOF, Forward Command Post, and in the field. Back-up communication capability between the DRP Forward Post, the flold teams, and the EOF was successfully demonstrated. Direction and control of off-site radlological monitoring teams was adequate. !!owever, environmental monitoring, and the contamination control (cartridge handling) technique for handling air samples utilized by the off-site field teams should be improved. Salem County Emergency Operations Center (SCEOC) Alerting and notificat!on of SCEOC personnel occurred promptly and the SCEOC was staffed in a timely manner. Activation of each municipal EOC was properly verifled. Internal and external communications were improved since the October,1984, exercise by Internal message handlers, periodic staff briefings, and logging all incoming and outgoing calls. State protective action recommendations were received by telephone and confirmed by the telefax machine, thus correcting a deficiency from the previous exercise. Salem County Freeholders and legislators were present and carefully monitored the entire exercise. Although several improvements at the SCEOC were noted, emergency operations management needs to be strengthened. The continued preoccupation of the County Emergency Management Director with message initiation, review and telephone Interruptions impaired his ability to be in control of the overall emergency response. Relaying messages to the municipal EOCs regarding the state's recommendation to administer K! to emergency workers and clarifying the state's evacuation recommendatlon were not timely. A procedure should be developed for handling priority messages. The Deputy Director, New Jersey Office of Emergency Management participated in the exercise as the State llaison to Salem County and was instrumental in facilitating operations management at the SCEOC. For example, the state liaison officer encouraged operations room staff to take a more active role in coordinating and discussing their agency's actions. This was not being done early in the exercise. The x
state's presence in the SCEOC is essential to assure an effective emergency response and an Interim plan should be developed to deal with the issue of weak management at the SCEOC. Fleid Implementation of Actions to Protect the Public
~
The bus evacuation demonstration was handled in a manner consistent with the e plan. However, improvements in disseminating information from the SCEOC to the American Red Cross shelter managers are necessary. Especially needed is information concerning number of expected evacuees and their arrival time. Properly calibrated monitoring instrumentation was available, but additional tralning Is necessary to assure that all monitoring personnel are aware of the decontamination action levels. Emergency workers at the Quinton emergency worker decontamination center had proper dosimetry. Sufflelent quantitles of properly calibrated monitoring instruments were available and decontamination personnel were aware of the decontamination action levels. , Salem County Municipals Six municipalltles participated in this remedial exercise. These municipalltles resolved a group of def!clencies noted during the October,1984, exercise. xl

Regresentatives of these agencies serve as members of the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA. Formal submission of the radiological emettency response plans for the Salem i Nuclear Generating Station (SNGS) to the RAC by the state and Involved local jurisdictions was followed by a critique and an ongoing evaluation of these plans. A public meeting was held to acquaint the public with the plans' contents, answer questions, and receive suggestions for changes in these plans. A first joint radiological emergency preparedness exercise was conducted for SNOS on April 8, 1981, and post-exercise assessments for that exercise were i subsequently issued. A second joint exercise on October 13,1982, was also followed with post exercise assessments issued by FEMA Regions !! and !!!. A third joint exercise, conducted on October 26, 1983, was also followed with a post-exercise assessment. A fourth joint exercise was conducted on October 23, 1984, to assess the capability of state, county, and municipal emergency preparedness organizations to implement their

radiologloal emergency preparedness plans and procedures, and to protect the public during a radiologloal emergency at Public Service Electrio and Gas Company's (PSE4G's) SNGS. A medical drill at the Salem Cour.ty Memorial Hospital was also conducted on September 27, 1984, in order to evaluate the adequacy of hospital and ambulance feet 11 ties and procedures' for handling injured and contaminated individuals. This drill was evaluated by a federal observer. During the Ootober 23, 1984, exercise, four deflelenotes in emergency ' preparedness response were identitled whleh, in FEMA's opinion, required immediate attention. These deflofoneles were: .
- 1) Messages from the Salem County EOC (SCEOC) to some munici-pelities concerning,the deelston to shelter certain sectors were delayed or not received at all by at least one munfelpality,
- 2) Messages with the deelston to evacuate certain sectors were delayed to some muntelpelities for up to 16 hours,
- 3) Messages with the decialon to distribute and administer potassium lodido (E!) for emergency workers were delayed for up to 16 hours, and
- 4) There were no radiologloal monitoring personnel or equipment at the Salem County Congregate Care Center to monitor evacuees for contamination.
On April 23, 1985, a remedial eseroise was held, the primary purpose of whleh was to determine whether these four defleteneles had been corrected. This determination required activation of command and control in West Trenton, State Polloe Headquarters, full activation of the Salem County EOC, and partial activation of the Salem County munlolpal EOCs. FEMA did not observe the Cumberland County EOC. There was also !!mited demonstration of fleid activities including simulat!on of school evsountion, congregate care shelters, decontamination center and the New Jersey Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) functions related to communloation with one field monitoring team. An observer team consisting of personnel from FEMA Region !!, the RAC, j FEMA's contractors, and federal and state agenotes evaluated the Apell 23, 1988, j eseroise. Thirteen federal observers were assigned to evaluate the activities of state ! and local jurisdictions. Observers were trained in radiological emergency planning ! ooncepts and given an evaluation kit, whleh included Information on eneroise objectives, l the eneroise scenario, and other lasues relating to the eneroise. Team leaders i esordinated team operations. t l Following the exercise, the federal observers met to compile their evaluations. l Observers presented observations speelfte to their assignments, the teams of observers I. developed preliminary assessments for each jurisdlotion, and team leaders consolidated the evaluations of Individual tes'm members. Based on these preliminary assessments, a
3 . public critique of the exercise was held by the RAC Chairman for exercise participants and the general public at 1000 on Thursday, April 25,1985, at the PSE&G Salem Training Center in Salem, N.J. The findings presented in this report are based on evaluations of the federal observers and have been reviewed by FEMA Region IL FEMA requests that state and local jurisdictions submit a schedule of remedial actions for correcting the deficiencies discussed in this report. The Regional Director of FEMA is responsible for certifying to the FEMA Associate Director of State and Local Programs and Support, Washington, D.C., that all deficiencies observed during,the exercise have been corrected and that such corrections have been incorporated into state and local plans, as appropriate. 1.2 FEDERAL OBSERVERS Thirteen federal observers evaluated off-site emergency response functions.

Following the overview narrative for each jurisdiction or activity, deftelencies and accompanying recommendations are presented. Deficiencies are pre-sented in two categories. The first category includes those deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding, that is, a finding that off-site emergency preparedness was not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to pro-teet the health and safety of the public living near the site in the event of a radiological emergency. A negative finding would be based on at least one deficiency of this type. The second category includes all other defielencies where, although demon-strated (and observed) performance during the exercise was substandard and corrective actions are necessary, other factors gave FEMA reasonable assurance that, in a real radiological emergency, the health and safety of the public could be protected. These other deficiencies also include all other problem areas, where performance was considered adequate but where a correctable weakness was observed. Correction of the weakness would enhance the ability of the organization to respond to radiological emergencies. , 1.4 EXERCISE OBJECTIVES The licensee (Public Service Electric and Gas Company), FEMA, NRC, the State of New Jersey, and a municipal representative planned a coordinated exercise of their respective emergency plans for both the on-site and off-site support agencies. The exercise involved activation and participation of the staff and response facilities of SNGS as well as emergency organizations and emergency facilities of the State of New
, Jersey, Salem County, and the six Salem County municipallties.
The exercise was Intended to demonstrate many, but not necessarily all, of the SNGS capabilities to respond to a wide range of emergency conditions. This scenario was
- designed to activate the radlological emergency response plans (RERPs) for SNGS and PSE&G's corporate radiological emergency response plan through their various levels.
Although the scenario accurately simulates operating events, it was not Intended to assess all of the operutor's diagnostic capabilities, but rather to provide sequences that ultimately demonstrated the operator's ability to respond to events and that resulted in exercising both on-site and off-site emergency procedures. The exercise demonstrated a number of primary emergency preparedness functions. At no time was the exercise permitted to interfere with the safe operations of SNGS, and the plant management at its discretion could have suspended the exercise for any period of time necessary to

I t - 1 5 ' ensure this goal. Free play was encouraged and the referees interfered only if operator ; j or player action would have prematurely terminated the exercise or deviated excessively l from the drill schedule.
! Federal agencies were notified during the exerci.:e according to existing emergency response procedures. Federal agencies with radiological emergency preparedness responsibility did not actively participate in the play of this exercise.
Federal representatives, however, did act as e'xercise evaluators. - e i To provide a conservative exercise in terms of off-site doses and areas affected, 4 exercise meteorology was used. Actud meteorology might have led to projected radio-
) logical doses below established protective action guides (PAGs) within the areas of j interest.
t . The following objectives were developed for this exercise based upon deficiencies 4 noted in the previous exercise and have been referenced in the narrative of the exercise j evaluation section in Sec. 2 of this report by organizational abbreviation and by number, i for example, NJEOC 2. , I l 1.4.1 State of New Jersey Emergency Operations Center (NJEOC)

The State EOC Operations Staff and State referees in the EOF and Salem County EOC were to serve as the Exercise Control Team in conjunction with the PSE&G referees h the EOF. ' Initiating events were provided to the Salem County municipalities by the Salem County EOC. Salem County Municipal EOC's and the Cumberland County EOC was to be operational only for the receipt and transmission of radio and telephone communications; and for the correction of site-specific exercise objectives as shown in Sec.1.4.7. All county-level requests for resource support, exclusive of standard mutual aid requests, from out-of-county sources were to be directed to the state EOC using normal message procedures. One State Monitoring Team was to be dispatched from the FCP for actual field assignment by a BRP participant. The team was to be supplied with one referee / observer. The referee was to provide simulated survey instrument readings which would be used to determine dose rates. Several demonstrations of emergency response capability were to be made outside of the State EOC, EOF, FCP, and the Salem County EOC. First, notification of the Salem City EMC was to be accomplished by standard contact from the SCEOC to the Salem City Police located on the first floor of the Administration Building at 94 Market l Street. The Salem Police were to then contact the EMC by phone. This was to occur at the Alert Level. The municipal EMC's were also to be notified by radio pager. l Second, the Salem County Area Transit (SCAT) was to be notified by radio from the SCEOC to the depot in Deepwater. Dispatch was to occur upon instruction from the SCEOC as dictated by exercise conditions. Third, the Quinton Decontamination Center was to be set up at the Site Area Emergency Level Decontamination personnel were to be put on standby at the Alert Level from the County Dispatch Center.
, Fourth, the Woodstown Congregate Care Shelter was to be activated at the Site Area Emergency Level with appropriate staffing, communications, security, monitoring, decontamination capability, and traffic control. Personnel were to be put on standby at the Alert Level. "
Fifth, the Pittsgrove (Shalick H.S.) decontamination capability was to be demonstrated at the Centerton Fire House. The exercise was to be terminated upon mutual consent of New Jersey and FEMA Region 11 that participants had sufficiently demonstrated their capabilities. e

. 2 EXERCISE EVALUATION I
This section provides a narrative overview of the observer evaluations from the April 23,1985, radiological emergency preparedness remedial for the Salem Nuclear i Generating Station (SNGS). These evaluations are referenced by organizational abbreviation and number to the exercise objectives listed in Sec.1.4. t j 2.1 NEW JERSEY STATE OPERATIONS _ 2.1.1 State EOC This remedial exercise did not require full activation of State EOC in West Trenton, New Jersey. Approximately 28 individuals participated in the exercise, staffing the command room, Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP), communications room, and the message center. The staff present displayed adequate training and knowledge of their responsibilities. Maps in the State EOC were equipped with new, colored, transparent overlays indicating the direction of the plume and sectors where protective actions were implemented. This satisfied an exercise objective (NJEOC 1). The BRP Liaison Officer was stationed near the Command and Control center, which eliminated any delay in the presentation of protective action recommendations to the designated State Director. This successfully demonstrated another exercise objective (NJEOC 2). The role of the Bureau of Radiation Protection Liaison Officer was also clarified. His responsibility was to pass information from the BRP staff at EOF directly to the designated State Director. Also, communication between BRP staffs stationed at EOF and State EOC staff was prompt and effective. This corrects a deficiency from the October,1984, exercise. Deficiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finPng were observed at the State EOC during this remedial exercise.
' Other Deficiencies .
No other deficiencies were observed at the State EOC during this remedial - exercise. 2.1.2 Bureau of Radiation Protection
.A number of other deficiencies pertaining to Bureau of Radiation Protection operation were addressed and resolved adequately by BRP staff members in the Emergency Operation Facility, Forward Command Pogt, and in the field.
13 .. .. 2.1.2.1 State of of New Jersey BRP
~
The BRP team at the EOF was comprised of a full complement of staff including the State Radiological Assessment Officer (SRAO) and Assistant SRAO. The SRAO was clearly in charge and effectively demonstrated transmission of final protective action recommendations to the BRP liaison at the State EOC, thus satisfying an exercise objective (BRP/ EOF 2). A new " EOF Transmission Sheet" was developed which provided the following information for transmission from BRP staff in the EOF to their counterparts at the FCP: Emergency Action Level (EAL), meteorological conditions, status of radioactive release, dose projection data at the site boundary, 5 miles, and 10 miles, and protective measures recommended to the public. Transmission of information was observed at 30 minute intervals or when there were significant changes in data or information. The above measures satisfied an exercise objective (BRP/ EOF 1). After interfacing with the utility liaison in the EOF, transmission sheets were prepared by team members and 4 reviewed by the BRP team leader. Information flow appeared adequate in that such messages were communicated to the FCP immediately following the leader's review. It is recommended that the team leader sign or initial transmission sheets after review to indicate that he/she concurs that the information is accurate. In addition to the EOF Transmission Sheet, another form, the "FCP Transmission Sheet to BRP" was used to provide EOF staff with a permanent record of information and data obtained by field monitoring teams. Finally, the BRP met an exercise objective by demonstrating the effectiveness of back-up communications systems (BRP/ EOF 3). A portable radio was available and observed for transmission of information between the EOF, FCP, and f!ald monitoring teams. BRP staff indicated that training on radio use was provided during practice drills. Deficiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding i No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed at the State of New Jersey BRP during this remedial exercise. l Other Dedelencies No other deficiencies were observed at the State of New Jersey BRP during the remedial exercise. 2.1.2.2 BRP Forward Command Post All of the staff at the Bureau of Radiation Protection Forward Command Post (BRP-FCP) demonstrated a high level of competence in the performance of their duties. The lead field assessment officer made decisions in conference with the appropriate members of his staff. 1
-- . . , _ _ . - - . -. -----,.,----n..
14 4 The staff at the BRP-FCP effectively deployed the field monitoring teams (one team was actually deployed, the remaining two were simulated) to the projected and actual location of the plume throughout the exercise. This action satisfied an exercise objective (BRP/FCP 1). Communication capability between the BRP-FCP and the field monitoring teams had also been improved, thus meeting an exercise objective (BRP/FCP 2). Clear, two-way communications were maintained throughout the exercise. A field transmitter malfunction was quickly remedied. Also, the plant status and protective action recommendations were regularly and promptly transmitted to the field tea'ms. This demonstration satisfied another exercise objective (BRP/FCP 3). Deficiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding i No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed at the State of New Je:wy BRP-FCP during this remedial exercise. Other Deficiencies - No other deficiencies were observed at the BRP-FCP during the remedial exercise. 2.1.2.3 Radiological Field Monitoring Teams Only one radiological field monitoring team was deployed during this remedial exercise. As noted in Sec. 2.1.2.2, radio communications between the BRP-FCP and the field team were very good in all routes traveled. No " dead spots" in communications were noted. The radio in the original field team vehicle was found to be defective while the team was in the field, but this was quickly remedied by providing the team with another vehicle equipped with a functional radio. However, it is recommended that radios be thoroughly tested before they are dispatched into the field. Plant status and protective action recommendations were also effectively communicated to the field team from the BRP-FCP. Radiological monitoring instruments were properly calibrated, but the air j sampling pump was not calibrated and could not draw the required 3 ft3 / min flow rate j with the particulate filter in place. Hence, the exercise objective for the field teams ! was only partially met (RFMT 1). Also, environmental monitoring and the contamination
- control (cartridge handling) technique for handling air samples utilized by the field teams l should be improved. Specifically, counting of air samples should have been performed l outside the plume as specified in the State plan. Furthermore, the high range ion j chamber remained in the field kit without batteries until this practice was questioned by the observer. The field monitoring team SOPS requiring preoperational check of
! calibration and battery installation should be followed for all instrumentation. I l i

15 Defielencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed for tlke radiological field monitoring team during this remedial exercise. Other Defielencies e
- 1. Deficiency: The air sampler of the Vanguard A field team was not properly calibrated (NUREG-0654, II, H.10, I.8).
Recommendatiom The air sampler should be properly calibrated.
- 2. Deficiency: The air sampler of the Vyard A field monitoring team could not draw the required 3 ft / min flowrate with the particulate filter in place (NUREG-0654, II, H.10, I.8).
Recommendatiom The air sampler should be adjusted so that the required flowrate can be achieved.
- 3. Def!clency: The field monitoring team did not take the air sampler cartridge out of the plume into a low background area for counting (NUREG-0654, II, I.8).
Recommendatiom The counting of air samples should be performed outside the plume as specified in the state plan.
- 4. Deficiency: The high range ion chamber remained in the field kit without batteries until this practice was questioned by the observer (NUREG-0654, II, I.8).
Recommendatiom The field monitoring team SOPS requiring preoperational check of calibration and battery installation should be followed for all Instrumentation.
. 2.2 SALEM COUNTY OPERATIONS
~
2.2.1 Salem County EOC The exercise objective relating to initial notification and mobilization of emergency response personnel was satisfied (SCEOC 1). Staffing of the Salem County EOC was completed in a timely manner and activation of each municipal EOC was properly verified. External and internal communications were improved since the October,1984, exercise. The communications room has been relocated since the last exercise and now l i _=
i
- has adequate space and a reduced noise level which satisfied an exercise objective
- (SCEOC 6) concerning improved message flow. All external communications including incoming and outgoing calls were handled expeditiously and records of each communication were maintained. The Emergency Management Radio (EMRAD) link to municipalities located within the 10-mile EPZ was used effectively. State protective action recommendations were received by telephone and confirmed by hard copy l received on the telefax machine, thus correcting a deficiency from the previous exercise i
as well as satisfying an exercise objective (SCEOC 7). i i The operations room had sufficient space and each agency had a separate telephone. A public address system was periodically used by the Emergency Management
- Director to provide updates on the status of the emergency to the operations room l staff. Internal communication throughout the EOC was expedited by message handlers.
4 These improvements in internal and external communications satisfied an exercise
- objective (SCEOC 2).
Maps showing protective actions implemented within the 10-mile EPZ, access 1 control points, and shelters were posted in the operations . room. This satisfied an exercise objective (NJEOC 1). l Although several improvements at the SCEOC were noted, there is a continuing need to strengthen emergency operations management. The County Emergency Management Director is to be recognized for improvements that have been made since the October,1984, exercise with regard to the coordination of internal communications and the dissemination of information to municipal EOCs. However, the continued preoccupation of the County Director with message initiation, review and telephone interruptions impaired his ability to be in control of the overall emergency response. l There was a lag of approximately thirty (30) minutes between receipt of the state , recommendation to administer potassium iodide (KI) to emergency workers and transmission of these instructions to the municipal EOCs. However, based on the exercise scenario (wind speed and direction) no one would have been exposed to radiation due to the delay. Also, a reply to a request for clarification from the Pennsville EOC regarding the state's evacuation recommendation was not timely. Similar delays in responding to requests for information from Salem City, Quinton, and Mannington were
- also noted. Although message control has been improved since the last exercise, procedures should be developed for the handling of priority messages. As a result of these observed deficiencies, the three SCEOC objectives that dealt with the coordination of protective and parallel actions with the municipalities, transmitting this information in a timely manner to the municipalities, and responding in a timely manner to requests for information and assistance from the municipalities have been only partially met "
(SCEOC 3, SCEOC 4, and SCEOC 9). 5 It is important to note that the Deputy Director, New Jersey Office of
, Emergency Management, participated in the exercise as the State Liaison to Salem County. The Deputy Director was instrumental in facilitating operations management of the SCEOC. Throughout the exercise there was little interaction among agency representatives regarding the actions taken by their agencies to deal with the State protective action recommendations. The State Liaison Officer noticed this problem and encouraged the EOC staff to take a more active role in coordinating and discussing their M
-m, ,-,--,.v ,e.+ . - - . ~ -
o . .
, 17 agency actions. It is Imperative that each agency carefully analyze the protective action recommendations with respect to their agency's role and the resources to deal with an emergency. The Instructional experience afforded by this exericse should be reinforced by continued training to insure the improvement of Salem County's radiological emergency management capabilities. Due to this deficiency, the objective dealing with demonstration of sound management and coordination of information in the SCEOC was only partially met (SCEOC 5).
e At the present time, it is evident that the State's presence in the SCEOC is essential to assure an effective response to radiological emergency. The State should
- develop an interim plan to deal with the issu~e of weak management of the SCEOC. .
Finally, it was encouraging that the Salem County Freeholders and legislatoms were present and carefully monitored the entire exercise. This satisfied an objective of the exercise (SCEOC 8). Deficiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding , No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed at the , SCEOC during this remedial exercise. l f Other Deficiencies l
- 1. Deficiency: There were some delays at the Salem County EOC in l notifying some of the municipalities of the message to administer KI to emergency workers (NUREG-0654, II, J.10.e).
I Recommendation: Staffing, procedures, and training at the SCEOC should be reviewed to determine how better overall management and more timely information flow from Salem County to the municipalities need further improvement.
- 2. Deficiency: Pennsville, Salem City, Quinton, and Mannington reported that requests for information and other assistance from the SCEOC did not always receive a prompt response (NUREG-0654, II, F.1.d).
Recommendattom Implement a procedure for more prompt responses by the SCEOC to requests for information and assistance from local EOCs.
- 3. Deficiency: The SCEOC emergency activities were not always well integrated and appropriate organizations did not always coordinate their agency's actions (NUREG-0654, II, A.1.d, A.2.a).
6
18 '. . Recommendation: A more effective management system for ] Salem County, including better information dissemination among . j the staff and better use of staff resources is required. Salem
- i County staffing, procedures, and training should be reviewed to determine how improvements will be implemented. The State j must develop an interim plan (plan supplement) to provide manage-j ment by the State, in the SCEOC until Salem County is able to be j in full control of the overall emergency response. This plan should
- j specify the scale of assistance and personnel involved.
0 -- 2.2.2 Salem County Municipal EOCs Federal observers evaluated activities at the following municipal EOCs in Salem County during the exercise: ] i e Salem City e Mannington i . ) e Pennsville o Quinton 4
- e Elsinboro e Lower Alloways Creek 4
An excellent degree of participation was observed in each of the six municipal EOCs. In each Instance the local Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) as well as j a group of volunteers used the remedial exercise as another opportunity for training and { practice. In addition, the various municipalities successfully resolved a group of { deficiencies noted at the October 23, 1984, exercise. All exercise objectives for the
- Salem County municipal EOCs were satisfied.
f Emergency power is now available at all local Salem County EOC's (SCMEOC j 5). Quinton Township has improved its response capabilities by establishing a new EOC. t The callout lists at the Mannington EOC are current (SCMEOC 2) and route alerting maps and written messages for emergency workers are available at Pennsville (SCMEOC 4). Elsinboro displayed a complete set of dosimeters for emergency workers (SCMEOC 1) and the Salem City EOC dispatcher notified the EMC in a timely manner (SCMEOC 3). ! 'Ine capability to maintain current displays in each EOC was further improved by { the addition of overlays which satisfied an exercise objective (NJEOC 1). t i Deficiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding j No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed at the Salem
, County municipal EOCs during this remedial exercise.
l l Other Deficiencies No other deficiencies were observed at the Salem County municipal EOCs during the remedial exercise. i
3, 2.2.3 Field Implementation of Actions to Protect the Public There was a limited demonstration of field activities during this remedial exercise. These activities included simulation of a school evacuation and activation of congregate care shelters and one decontamination center. Security and traffic control for the congregate care shelters was provided by fire police at both the Woodstown High School and Centerton Fire House. This satisfied an , exercise objective (FIELD 9). Properly calibrated monitoring instrumentation was available. This corrected a deficiency from the previous exercise and satisfied an exercise objective (FIELD 2). At the Centerton Fire House, the standard forms were correctly used to record the location of any contamination. However, personnel were not fully familiar with decontamination limits. Additional training is necessary to assure that all monitoring personnel are aware of the predetermined contamination level for determining the need for decontamination. Hence, this exercise objective was only partly met (FIELD 1). At the Woodstown congregate care shelter there were sufficient numbers of trained personnel to provide radiological monitoring capability fo'r evacuees and vehicles. Emergency clothing was available and monitoring procedures were adequate. This satisfied an exercise objective (FIELD 3). Improvements are still needed in the dissemination of information to the American Red Cross (ARC) shelter managers. Little information concerning the number evacuees to be expected or their anticipated arrival time was passed from the Salem County EOC to the shelter managers. Hence, this exercise objective was only partly met (FIELD 8). Propse personnel dosimeters (both self-reading and permanent record devices) were used by all emergency workers at the Quinton emergency worker decontamination center. This satisfied an exercise objective (FIELD 5). Standard forms for recording the location of contamination were properly used, thus satisfying an exercise objective (FIELD 7). Sufficient quantities of properly calibrated monitoring instrumentation were available to monitor both personnel and vehicles. This also satisfied an exercise objective (FIELD 4). Finally, the decontamination personnel were aware of the levels of contamination that would require decontamination. This corrects a deficiency from the previous axercise and satisfied an exercise objective (FIELD 6). The Salem County Area Transit (SCAT) bus driver, who participated in the school evacuation, had a list of congregate care centers, with addresses, and a map showing , approved evacuation routes. Upon direction from the Salem County EOC, the bus driver went to Mannington School to simulate picking up students and then proceeded to 'the Woodstown congregate care shelter, which is the shelter identified for this school in the plan. This corrected two deficiencies from the previous exercise as well as satisfying two exercise objectives (FIELD 10 and and FIELD 11). The SCAT driver was equipped with a self-reading dosimeter but had no permanent record dosimeter. Also, more training is needed in the use of dosimetry and in the use and availability of KL This repeats previous deficiencies and only partly satisfied two exercise objectives (FIELD 12 and FIELD 13).
Defleiencies That Would Lead to a Negative Finding No deficiencies that would lead to a negative finding were observed during the fleid implementation of actions to protect the public at this remedial exercise. Other Defleiencies t
- 1. Deffelency: Emergency workers at the Salem County congregate care shelter (Centerton Fire. Station) did not know the contamination level for determining the need for decontamination (NUREG-0654, II, K.5.a).
Recommendatiom Emergency workers should receive additional training on the contamination level for determining the need for decontamination.
- 2. Deficiency: The Salem County Congregate- Care Shelter (Woodstown High School) was not apprised of when and how many evacuees to expect (NUREG-0654, II, J.10.h).
Recommendatiom The ARC representative at the SCEOC should inform representatives at the Congregate Care Shelters of the number of evacuees and their expected time of arrival.
- 3. Def!clency: The SCAT driver was not provided with a permanent record dosimeter (NUREG-0654, II, K.3.a).
Recommendatiom Permanent record dosimeters should be provided to all drivers involved in evacuation busing. A dosimeter distribution list should be provided to FEMA.
- 4. Deffelency: The bus driver for the school evacuation was not trained in the use of dosimeters or KI (NUREG-0654, II, K.3.a).
Recommendatiom All emergency workers, including bus drivers, should be fully trained in radiological exposure control including the use of dosimetera and KI. The training schedule for all emergency workers should be furnished to FEMA. - I a--,,,ee,-e ~ - - ---.,nnm er -- -

, 21 3 SCHEDULE FOR CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES: APRIL 23,1985, EXERCISE Section 2 of this report lists deficiencies based on the findings and a recommendations of federal observers at the radiological emergency preparedness
! remedial exercise for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station held on April 23, 1985. These evaluations are based on the applicable planning standards and evaluation criteria set forth in NUREG-0654-FEMA-1, Rev.1 (Nov.1980), and objectives for the exercise ' agreed upon by the state, FEMA, and the RAC. The Regional Director of FEMA is responsible for certifying to the FEMA Associate Director, State and Local Programs and Support, Washington, D.C., that any def!ciencies that require corrective actions have been corrected and that such corrections have been incorporated into the plans as appropriate. l FEMA requests that both the state and local jurisdictions submit a schedule of actions they have taken or intend to take to correct these deficiencies. FEMA recommends that a detailed plan, including dates of completion for scheduling and implementing recommendations, be provided if corrective actions cannot be instituted immediately. FEMA further recommends that an additional effort be made by alllevels of gcvernment to improve intergovernmental coordination in all aspects of the
. emergency planning process. A meeting between state, county, local, and FEMA l officials is advisable.
No deficiencies were observed that would cause a finding that off-site 4 emergency preparedness was not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that
- appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public IIving in l the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emergency.
1 The deficiencies observed at the April 23, 1985, remedial exercise for the SNGS, as well as outstanding deficiencies from previous exercises, require that a schedule of l corrective actions be developed. These deficiencies are summarized in the following Table 3.1. Cross-referencing is provided in Table 3.1 to the corresponding deficiency and corrective action in Table 4.1. The cross-referencing appears at the end of the l corrective action description on Table 3.1 and Indicates the number of the item as it appears in Table 4.1. i 1 i I,

New Jersey uses compass sectors to I ea define protective action areas, N whereas PSE&C designates Emergency Planning Areas (EPAs). State and utility representatives should agree on a single method for areas where protective actions may be implemented. This deficiency regarding the designation of areas to be evacuated has been opera-tionally addressed during the 1984 esercise. The use of EPAs has been replaced at the State EOC by the use of compasq sectors which are then converted to narrative descriptions of the affected areas for EBS messages. Although this system works well, the use of EPAs is still referenced in the New i

The SCEOC emergency activities I I " 6.2.e were not always well lategrated and appropriate organizations did not always coordinate their agency's actions. A more ef fec-Live management system for Salem County, including better informa-tion dissemination among the staff and better use of staff resources is required. Salem County staffing, procedures, and training should be reviewed to determine how improvements will be impl emented. The State smast develop an interim plan (pl an supplement) to provide management by the State, in the SCEOC until Salem County is able to be in full control of the overall emergency response. This plan
