n Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs SUBJECr:

Corrective Action Schedule for the September 12, 1984 Exercise of the Offsite Radiological Emergency Prepared-ness Plans for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station Attached is a copy of the corrective action schedule for the 1984 joint exercise of the offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station. This was a full participation exercise for the State of California and Sacramento, Amador and San Joaquin Counties. The report, dated September 20, 1984, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX, was furnished to you earlier.

There has been significant and continuing progress to improve the offsite radiological emergency response capability; therefore FEMA considers that offsite radiological emergency preparedness is now adequate to provide reasonable assurance that apprcpriate measures can be taken of fsite to protect the health and safety of the public livirn in the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emergency.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson, Chief, Technological Hazards Division, at 646-2860.

FROM:

Regional Director

SUBJECT:

Corrective Action Schedule for the 1984 Exercise of the Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station Attached is the corrective action schedule for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station 1984 Plans and Preparedness Exercise of September 12, 1984. Comments submitted by the utility, state, and local offsite juris-dictions are also attached.

At a meeting on March 14, 1985, representatives of the utility (SMUD),

the counties (Amador, Sacramento, and San Joaquin), the state (CA-0ES),

and FEMA Region IX, discussed the exercise report and the corrective action schedule. As is stated in the text of the corrective action schedule and the comments of the counties, additional activities for improvement to the alert and notification system (particularly the Emer-gency Broadcast System (EBS)) procedures are required. Regional staff will continue to work closely with the state and county offsite juris-dictions toward achievement of that goal.

It should be noted that an alert and notification system demonstration is currently scheduled for September 1985.

l l

FEMA Region IX has determined there has been significant and continuing l

progress to improve the offsite emergency response capability and that there is reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken to adequately protect public health and safety in the event of l

a radiological emergency at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station, i

January 4,1985 Orrin E. Orr, Chief Radiological Emergency Preparedness State Office of Emergency Services 2800 Meadowview Road Sacramento, CA 95832

Dear Orrin:

The attached is Amador County's response to the 1984 Rancho Seco' Exercise. In your transmittal to FEMA, I would appreciate your mentioning the following specific items:

1. FEMA evaluators failed to discuss findings with county at the debriefing as previously agreed upon, and theref ore reported inaccurate information.

2.

The exercise utilized too compressed a timeframe for adequate demonstration of response capabilities. The county recommends that all future exercises be two-day exercises.

3.

There is a need for a public address-type system to each county EOC so that each EOC can actually hear the EOF briefings being given. This should help eliminate " slow" or

" inaccurate" information flow.

This response is being sent.to the State OES for compilation into its final report format; however, in keeping with previous po!!cy of the board of supervisors, a complete and unabridged copy of this transmittal must be appended to the official response sent to FEMA. In addition, the Rancho Seco Plan, Part V, requires a complete copy of this transmittal to be sent directly to FEMA and for FEMA to assure its attachment to the original critique document.

Thank you, BLU Sean M. Crowder Coordinator

l The following information is provided in response to FEMA's 1984 critique of the 1984 Rancho Seco Exercise. Although it appears that the County of Amador need only respond to the Category B matrices presented in Section 5.0, there are certain incorrect or inaccurate statements or suppositions that appear throughout the body of the critique document. Therefore, this response will be a page-by-page response.

Section 4.0 EXERCISE DETAIL

-Page Two, Paragraph 1 - Exercise Scenario-The County of Amador believes it to be inappropriate to conduct an exercise and not " grade" it. To say the exercise is merely "a report of exercise observations" is deceptive and misleading to the public due to two factors:

1.

The public is not overly familiar with the detailed workings of the plan and cannot readily interpret an observation. They can, however, readily perceive the significance of a

" letter grade or score" and directly relate that grade to their own personal sense of security or well-being; and 2.

Observations are not always accurate as evidenced by previous FEMA evaluations, (including this 1984 critique), therefore, an inaccurate observation reported to the public can reflect an erroneous state of preparedness--either for good or for bad.

-Page Three, Paragraphs 5 and 6 - Exercise Scenario-The County of Amador concurs that the extent of play for rad monitoring teams should be expanded and believes a two-day exercise is appropriate for all future exercises.

-Page Three, Paragraph 8 - Past Findings-This paragraph implies that the evacuation portion of the exercise was cancelled as a result of jumping the scenario from an Alert to a General Emergency classification. This statement is erroneous and misleading.

-Page Three, Paragraph Last - Outstanding Objectives-The implication in this paragraph is that Amador County was comehow at fault for this " time lag". In actuality, the problem was both an information flow problem from the EOF as well as a scenario problem. The decision to cancel the evacuation was not made by the County of Amador.

-Page Four,' Paragraph Two-This statement is not necessarily true. The County of Amador reserves its right to determine its level of participation in any future exercise.

-Page Four, Paragraph Four-This paragraph requires both explanation and justification before the County of Amador can respond.

-Page Five, Paragraph One-The County of Amador also believes the subject of back-up communications for the ENC should be pursued.

9

,_._-._p_

.I y

-Page Six, Paragraph Two-The County of Amador does not concur with this suggestion and therefore does-not intend to implement or support its implementation.

-Page Seven, Paragraph Three-The confusion ~ alluded to in this paragraph could be eliminated by implementing No. 3 cited in the cover letter.

-Page Seven, Paragraph Seven-The County of Amador concurs with the intent of this paragraph.

-Page Seven, Paragraph Eight-The County of Amador does not concur with the last sentence of this paragraph.

-Page Seven, Paragraph Next-to-Last-The County of Amador does not believe this function to be a public information function, but rather an emergency broadcast function.

-Page Seven, Paragraph Last-The County of Amador does not believe the flow of information from the EOF conferences to the EOC decision-maker was at all satisfactory. There were blg gaps of time. and adequate' information flow. See No. 3 cited in the cover letter for additional information.

-Page Eight, Paragraph Three-Sentence two is Inaccurate in that the scenario called for discussion only and no

" response operations" with regard to ingestion pathway.

-Page Eight, Paragraph Six-This paragraph is inaccurate.

-Page Eight, Paragraph Last-The County of Amador does not believe its existing EOC facilities to be adequ' ate for an actual response to a nuclear accident. "Small and cramped" does not begin to describe the poor response conditions that would exist should a prolonged nuclear response be necessary..

-Page Nine, Paragraph One-No. 1 - The County of Amador concurs and believes SMUD should purchase and provide such duplicating equipment for use within or near the EOC.

No. 2. Press releases were posted in the EOC.

N o.' 3 - Action has been taken to correct this problem.

No. 4 - The County of Amador will ut!!!ze such a map when SMUD or the State OES provides the map and the capability to post accurate plume information on it.

No. 5 - The county concurs.

No. 6 - The county concurs and is taking steps to implement such cet!on.

No. 7 - The county believes this capability currently exists.,

No.8 - The county concurs.

No. 9 - The county concurs.

No. 10- The county will review this subject during its review of the public information function.

R

a

,, }

~I^

No.11-The county concurs, but doubts if sufficient staff can-be obtained to achieve the level of clerical need.

No.12. The county does not concur.

-Page Nine, Paragraph Next-to-Last-The County of Amador concurs that there is a need for SMUD to install a RACES antenna at the EOF, and that a " drop" for each county should be provided so that county-specific RACES can be fully utilized as back-up communicators.

-Page Nine, Paragraph Last-The County of Amador retains its right to determine its level of participation in any future exercise.

-Page Ten, Paragraph One-Sentence Four is without substantiation; therefore the County of Amador has no basis-in-fact for a response.

-Page Ten, Paragraph Two-Sentence Two has appeared in many critiques and evaluations. The County of Amador will accept two or three "all-weather vehicles" for our rad teams should SMUD provide them.

-Page Twelve, Paragraph Two-The fact that the TSC preempted communications on the two-digit ring-down line d_id impact EOC operations. If the counties have timely access to the phone system, then tri-county coordination could be more timely and adequate. The County of Amador believes the TSC should be provided with supplemental communications capability between itself and the EOF so that coordinated county responses and coordination activities will not be hampered when " locked-out" by the TSC.

-Page Twelve, Paragraph Last-The County of Amador does not concur with the conclusion as stated in the last sentence.

Other equally valid conclusions could be drawn from the statements presented.

Section 5.0 - EXERCISE FINDINGS MATRIX

-SMUD Page 1, Finding #3-See Amador County cover letter No. 3 for comments.

-Amador County Page 1, Finding #1-The County of Amador rejects this finding as incorrect.

The plan clearly delineates the procedures to be utilized and provides the necessary supporting material to assure prompt notification of key personnel regardless of the level of emergency.

The county does recognize the necessity to provide training on an cngoing basis to assure that employees are informed and knowledgeable of the proper N & A procedures.

-Amador County Page 1, Finding #2-The person responsible for monitoring the broadcasting of all EBS messages correctly logged the broadcast and " simulated" content of each message which had been sent over the EBS system. The FEMA evaluator failed to observe this process. All EBS confirmations were reported to the Coordinator.

-Amador County Page 2, Finding #3-The county concurs there was very little coordination of media functions.

m. _ _._.

J l

Rumor control is county-specific and does not require " coordination" unless a question concerning another jurisdiction is raised. No basis-in-fact is provided within the critique, therefore, the county rejects this portion of the finding.

The county concurs that the coordination for EBS needs improvement and will be meeting with the other two counties and State OES to address this issue in early 1985.

The county believes that a total review of coordinating the implementation of protective actions is warranted and will participate in tri-county discussions of the issue.

-Amador County Page 2, Finding #4-All emergency response personnel performed their respense duties according to plan procedures as assigned to them and as presented on the matrix shown in Part I of the plan; therefore, the County of Amador rejects the finding.

-Amador County Page 3, Finding #5-The proper equipment has been requested from SMUD and State OES to assure i that there will be no future occurrences of this kind. Continued training should also be I provided to ambulance personnel in the use of this equipment.

-Amador County Page 3, Finding #6-Part I of the Amador County Plan clearly shov/s the respective areas of responsibility for all cities within Amador County, (Part I, Page 36).. Part IV,1.1-5 clearly presents the mechanism tying the cities to the emergency response communication system. SOPS are written for the City of lone since it is the or.!y city within the 10-mile EPZ which plays an integral role in emergency nesponse.' Therefore,

,,the County of Amador rejects the finding.

Ja. ~. 8 Q

Exercise Findines Matrix - Sacramento County - page 1-2 continued FEMA' Finding:

During the exercise the Sacramento County Emergency Operations Coordinator failed to transmit the first actual EBS protective' action message to the radio station KFBK.

The only information that the radio station received was one nessage at 10:15 A.M. Instructing,them to transmit a standard EBS test message.

Later EES messages were simulated from the ECF, but were never actually sent to the radio station.

Also, the Emergency Operations Coordinator simulated transmitting EBS directly to the radio station from the EOF.

This is not in accord with the County Plan which states that the EOC is responsible for implementing all protective actions. The Sacramento County EOC is the EDS entry point, not the EOF.

The only means of communication between the EOC and the radio station studio is common dial telephone. This circuit would be overloaded during.an emergency. A ring-down circuit or a radio link should be considered. The EBS radio station KFBK did not have copies of the prescripted EBS messages available to its operation personnel.

Also, the book of instructions were not available. The radio station appeared to bo reluctant to participate in the exercise.

The Sacramento Emergency Broadcast Station (EBS) system needs considerable training and coordination between the counties and the radio station KFBK. At the present time, the EDS system in Sacramento is not considered sufficiently functional to be implemented during an incident at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station.

County Response:

The county of Sacramento agreed to the following exercise objectives (see under 2.0 objectives and guidelines) with regard to the EBS:

e l

SACRAMENTO EBS notification to coincide with EBS station testing.

No actual EBS broadcast of messages.

- Simulated use of sirens.

- Remaining according to Plan.

Sacramento County never agreed to actually pass a test message to the CPCS 1

-station, KFBK.

The County did agree to ask the station to transmit their weekly test message

.to_ coincide with the simulated $ sounding of the sirens.

The Radio Statfon did comply with this request.

EOC staff confirmed that the

[

message was broadcast at the appropriate time.

I

.,t '

page 1-2 continued Sacramento County Exercino Findinos Matrix Tho Emergency Operations coordinator put the CPCS 1 station on alert status when the County EOC was partially activiated at the second stage " alert classification". The initial message was simulated to the station, which broadcast their weekly test message at the County's request.

Later messages were simulated from the EOF which is in conflict with the EBS as written plan. The plan will be rewritten to show the entry point for cither the EOC or EOF, that decision has not been made yet, as meetings with cll concerned partics, including FEMA, are ongoing.

the county The County agrees that further training and coordination between and the radio stations is necessary. Toward that goal there have been several Ecotings between County staff and the radio stations.

FEMA is providing money 2-way radio link between the County and KFBK as an to KFBK to supply a alternate n.cthod to land line communications.

The county is working with KFBK; KRAK and KGNR to establish written procedures conduct ongoing training to ensure that the EBS system in Sacramento and to may be quickly implemented in the event of an incident at the Rancho Seco Nbclear Generating Station.

FEMA personnel with technical expertise in communications are also participating in these meetings.

3 FEMA' Finding:

~

. Ability to identify and check individuals who may have been ecntaminated during ;an evacuation was not satisfactorily demonstrated. According to the

-operating procedures manual for sacramento County traffic control points in c

contaminated areas should have areas for decontamination and storage of contaninated vehicles. 'All traffic should be detained until checked by a radiation field monitoring team. Per County Health, they,do not have adequate

.' staff to perform this functibn nor do they have the necessary equipment.

If called upon in a real situation to have monitoring teams at all traffic control points, they would not be able to provide service with_ existing staff.

Tho coordinator 'in the Field Command Post did not know where the decontamination point was.

County Response:

Training has been changed 'to stress de-contamination procedures.

The Evacuaticn occured prior to any release. There was no need to decontaminate a'ny vehicles or personnel. County Health does have decontamination equipment contrary to the FEMA Evaluation,. The statement "Per County Health, they do not have adequate staff to perform this function nor do they _ have the necessary equipment.",

was taken out of context and is not true. County

= Health Administration made no such statement, in fact, Traffic Control points could be manned for decontamination by Health Department personnel and if needed, additional personnel would be provided by the Fire Districts.

There is no such position as " Coordinator" in the Field Command Post.

There is a Field Command Post Commander, a sheriff's Department representative, and he does know that the decontamination points are the traffic access control points and where they are located.

  • FEMA Finding:

Radiological Field Monitoring Team kits did not include chdreoal cartridges, anti-contamination suits, respirators or KI tablets (which were kept at the Wilton. Fire Statien Field Command Post at least eight miles from the points the team was responsible for monitoring)

County Responses Field Mcnitoring Team Kits are not required by, NUREG 0654, to carry this equipment.. Radiolegical Monitoring teams are removed from the field at 100 mr/hr.

If I-131 is released.(as por UDAC), field teams will be removed to F.ield Censand Post and-await further instructions.

FEMA Findings:

The County standard operating procedures protective action guide states the team should not stay in a radiation field over 200 mr/hr. The team was in a field with over 500 mr/hr at 12:52 P.M.

The field Command Post requested another air sample which kept the team in the field until 1:04 P.M.

. County Response:

The RSOERP states that the field survey team shall withdraw immediately and contact the Radiological. Monitoring Supervisor if the dose rates exceed 100 mr/hr not 200 mr/hr as stated in the FEMA findings. The Plan also states a worker whose dose approaches 500 mr should be re-assigned outside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone, if possible. The total dose received by the team in the 500 mr/hr field was about 100 mr, well within the exposure limitations.

The UDAC was aware of the 500 mr/hr field and the associated risks involved.

The UDAC team concluded that the risk was minimal compared to the need for the air samplo.

See part III; Section 5.3.1 page 1 Caution Statement.

Any field survey team that encounters dose rates of 100 mr/hr or nore shall withdraw immediately and contact the Radiological Monitoring Supervisor.

Exercise Findino Matrix page 3 Sacramento County e

FE!;A Finding:

The Team Leader for the Radiological Field Monitoring Team If stated that he and the other county monitors have had little experience with actual nonitoring conditions. The monitoring teams should be assigned at least a week por year to field conditions training using the appropriate equipments.

County Response:

This is a subjective statement not documented by field observation.

Radiological Monitor training does include actual monitoring conditions includine radioactive sources.

FEMA Finding:

Cue to the scope of the exercise and evacuation being a part of the scenario for Amador Cpunty in this exercise, there were peripheral activities that were noted by erercise observers. One such item was the lack of consideration being given to the cities within the county that are involved in emergency response activitics by virtue 6f geography, but without benefit of planned assignment. As mentioned in the Exercise Summary portion of this report, local government (city and county) have, by law, the primary responsibility for emergency response operations, with State support.

Evacuation implementation and/or public information mechanisms create a requirement for city service agencies (i.e., law enforcement, fire, public works, etc.) to roepend to radiological emergency response activities indirectly affecting their jurisdiction. Yet the cities are neither. tasked by the plan nor a part of the communications system. This applies to all county plans that impact on city government.

County Response:

This finding is not applicable to Sacran. ento County.

There are no cities within the EPZ for Sacramento County, NUREG C654 page 11

" Planning Basis" delineates 10 mile radius for EPZ.

Inge.5 tion Pathway of 50-miles is the State responsibility with the assistance of Sacramento County's Health Ddpartment which has jurisdiction in all cities within Sacramento County.

9/85 emergency responsg personnel, the escalation of the classification level from Alert directly to General Emergency resulted in a breakdown of the planned system. Key personnel who would have been mobilized at the Site Area classification level (who were put on standby at the Alert level) were not contacted at the time the General Emergency was declared. The plan, standard operating procedure, and or checklist should repeat the actions to be taken at the lower classification level within the next higher classi-fication level as further assurance that those ac-tivities have been accomplished or that they are E.2 still required.

Dear Orrin,

We would like the following ccrments incorporated into the reply to the Federal Energency Managemnt Agency Critigee of the 1984 Rancho Seco Fxercise. Overall, we felt it was a valid exercise that demon-strated our ability to respond adequately to any emergency at the plant. While this reply centers on the matrix ccnments, I have also

' included sane conments on the narrative portion.

DERCISE FINDINGS MATRIX - SAN JOAQUIN COUNI'Y

- FINDING 1 - We deny the implication that key people were not notified.

All required personnel were notified, however, there were mre problems than there should have been. We intend to revise the precedures and conduct training during 1985 to improve notificaticn activities.

FINDING 2 - While there were problems with coordination, the charac-terization of the situation as "little to no" coordination is an inaccurate overstatement. Particularly, in the area of Dnergency Broadcast System and Protective Action coordination, the situation was satisfactory after scrne initial problems.

FINDING 3 - According to plan procedures, all city police departe nts are notified by the Sheriff's Departent at the Alert Ieval. Knowledge of local governmnt processes would reveal that a key function of the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is to coordinate with other poli-i i

.t cal leaders and jur sdictions of the County.

EDF - Page 7 - Next to Iast Paragraph Protective Action rec h tions and instructions issued by San Joaquin County were sent to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Public Information facsimile operator as planned. Our feeling is that the Sacramento Municipal Utility District needs to revise the Energency News Center and Public Information Officer procedures at their end. They have not provided persons to serve as PIO clerks at the ENC and the system of having PIO messages arrive at the EDF instead of the ENC is bound to lead to confusion.

San'Joaquin County EOC - Page 11 of Exercise Detail We did receive timely information frm our liaison at the

~

EOF and frm the Control Rom and Technical Support Center.

All information on EOF status boards and frm briefings was passed on to us. Required coordination of protective actions and EBS messages was not accomplished as well as it should have been. The information coordination system does need to be reviewed.

Other criticisms in regard to forms and radiological monitor procedures will be addressed in this year's training program.

While these are all the coments we have in regard to the critique, San Joaquin County will conduct a thorough review of all procedures to seek ways to improve our response.

In addition, as subrnitted to you earlier, the County will conduct a thorough training program in 1985 to ensure our ability to respond effectively to any emergency at Rancho Seco.

If you, or the Federal Drergency Management Agency officials, have any questions, please feel free to call-in rely, d

Dear Mr. Vickers:

The 1984 Rancho Seco Emergency Preparedness Exercise Report was forwarded to Sacramento, San Joaquin and Amador counties November 5.

A coordination meeting was held November 9, attended by Susan Elkins and Terry Knight of your staff. However. recen; discussions with the jurisdictions indicate they will be unable to develop their corrective action schedules until mid January.

As soon as these schedules have been received by this office and coordinated, a formal corrective action schedule will be submitted to FEMA.
