Dear Mr. Beach:
Enclosed is a copy of the final report for the April 16,1997 plume exposure pathway exercise for the offsite radiological emergency response plan, site-specific to the Byron Nuclear Power Station. Copies of this report have been sent to the State ofIllinois. The State ofIllinois, Ogle County and Comed participated in this exercise.
There are two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) for the State ofIllinois. The first ARCA regards Ogle County not calling the EBS radio station identified in the Byron Public
- Information Brochure (PIB). The second ARCA relates to the lack of news releases available to the media at the Joint Public Information Center. A schedule of corrective action has been received.
There is one planning issue that was identiGed during the exercise. It regards^the revision, printing, and distribution of the 1997 Byron PIB that will identify a new EBS radio station that does not broadcast 24-hours a riay, seven days a week. FEMA has informed the State ofIllinois that the plan and PIB must provide for a 24-hour, seven days a week, capability to notify the public in the event of a fast breaking severe core damage accident. If a second EBS radio station is not identified and added to the local plan, FEMA questions the ability to notify the public as described in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Part IV, Section D, Subsectian 3. FEMA recommends that the county continue using WROK until this problem is resolved.
Based upon a July 1,1997 telephone conversation with Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), we agree that the County plan would be immediately changed to reference a 24-hour station (WROK). This agreement will resolve the ARCA and allow for reasonable assurance for off-site safety at this facility. The determination of reasonable assurance is contingent upon the county making those changes identified above. With close coordination and cooperation between FEMA Region, the State and the county, we understand that the County will revise its local plan to reference the 24-hour station.

'l
.. A IEMA will provide a letter to us summarizing our agreement, as well as providing an assurance that the local plan has been changed to include a 24-hour broadcast station.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact David Skarosi at (312) 408-5506 or Woodie Curtis at -
(312)408-5528.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Byron Nuclear Power Station to FEMA Region l V by the State ofIllinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 28,1984.
l Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on September 12,1984, under 44
- CFR 350.
A REP exercise was conducted on April 16,1997 by FEMA Region V to assess the ,
capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing l l their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological i emergency involving the Byron Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of this exercise j report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite i response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.
i The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Director. ,
i The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:
l
) e NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of '
t Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support ofNuclear l- Power Plants," November 1980; and j . FEMA-REP-14, Radiological Emerg:ncy Preparedness Exercise Manual,
! September 1991; and l

, III. EXERCISE OVERVIEW Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the April 16,1997 exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Byron Nuclear Power Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
A. Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The Byron Nuclear Power Station is located near the City of Byron, in Ogle County, Illinois. The 10-mile plume EPZ extends radially in all directions around the Power Station and impacts Ogle County and a very small portion of Winnebago County, including the municipalities of Byron, Davis Junction, Leaf River, Mount Morris, Oregon, and Stillman Valley.
The population distribution in the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Station is relatively low. There is a requirement to delineate areas to be sheltered or evacuated by easily recognizable boundaries; some of the boundaries extend beyond the circular EPZ. The 11 Sub-areas identified for the Byron Nuclear Power Station total 24,588 persons.
Primary land use around the Byron Nuclear Power Station is agricultural, with cash crops of corn and soybeans.
Recreational facilities outside the municipalities include Lowden Memorial State Park, Lowden-Miller State Forest, and the Castle Rock State Park and Nature Preserve.
The EPZ is served by various forms of transportation. The primary highways are State Routes 2,64, and 72. Two railroads are impacted by the Byron Nuclear --
Power Station. These are the I & M Rail Link, four and one-half miles north, and the Burlington Northern, five and one-half miles south of the Byron Nuclear Power Station.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues which are i discussed in this report. l
- I
- A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified [
{
- u. inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a ;
finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide j reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in i the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of j the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant."
l F
11 h
~ .- - ,
- An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety."
FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.
I The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
1
. Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility
]
Billable Plant Site Codes. '
. Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
. Objective Number - A two-digit number corresponding to the objective i numbers in FEMA-REP-14. I 1
. Issue Classification Identifier-(D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only '
Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
. Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

Description:
The State ofIllinois is responsible for ensuring a coordinated dissemination ofinformation to the public and participants in the annual distribution of a public information booklet (IPRA Volume 1, Chapter 5, Part C, Page 5). This 12 4
l
~. .
. \
booklet titled Byron Emercency Information, provides information to the public regarding how they will be notified and what their actions should be in an emergency. Radio stations WROK (1140 AM) and WZOK (97.5 FM) are identified in this booklet as the best sources ofinformation and instructions following activation of the outdoor warning sirens within the 10-mile Byron Emergency Planning Zone (Byron Emergency Booklet pages 1 through 10).
However, WRHL (1060 AM and 102.3 FM)is the designated primary radio station for public notification in the event of a radiological incident at the Byron Nuclear Power Station (Memorandum of Understanding, March,1997). This is not the radio station identified in the Byron Information Booklet which could ;
cause delays and confusion in implementing protective actions in a nuclear i emergency.
'. Recommendation: Update the Byron Emergency Information Booklet to reflect the primary radio station that will be used for public notification in a radiological incident.
Schedule of Corrective Action: The Illinois plan for radiological Accidents .
(IPRA)-Byron will be changed to include WROK/WZOK as a primary station l along with WRHL. This temporary plan change will be made in the copy of the j IPRA-Byron used by Ogle County because they implemented the procedures for j' notification of the public. The temporary plan change will not be reprinted for i
mass distribution.
