- 4 APR 0 71987 Docket No. 50-461 Illinois Power Company ATTN: Mr. W. C. Gerstener Executive Vice President 500 South 7th Street Decatur, IL 62525 Gentlemen:
We have received the enclosed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) letter dated March 4, 1987, containing the offsite emergency preparedness findings for the State of Illinois and DeWitt, Macon, McLean, Piatt and Logan Counties in Illinois for the Clinton Nuclear Power Station exercise conducted on January 13, 1987. Based on the performance of the offsite agencies during the exercise, FEMA identified no deficiencies requiring corrective action.
However, two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were observed that required corrective actions by the State of Illinois. As noted in the enclosed report, the State of Illinois has responded to the ARCAs, and FEMA has evaluated and accepted the response.
We fully recognize that any such remedial actions implemented involve other parties and political institutions which are not under your direct control.
Nonetheless, we do expect the subject of offsite preparedness for the area around the Clinton Nuclear Power Station to be addressed by you as well as others.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

..l EXECINIVE SIMRRY State of Illinois
'!he Illinois hergency Services and Disaster Agency (IESDA) dispatcher for the State hergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Illinois Departnent of Nuclear Safety (IDNS) dispatcher for the Radiological hergency Assessnent Center (REAC) initiated activation procedures following receipt and verification of the " Alert" classification. Written call lists and pagers were used to notify staff for both facilities.
f Around the clock staffing was denonstrated at the State EDC through presentation of a roster and by a partial shift change and at the REAC by presentation of a roster. All staff at both locations de onstrated a thorough knowledge of their duties and responsibilities. The Forward i
Connand Post (ECP) was activated at the Arnory in Bloonington. Around the clock staffing was denonstrated through a shift change, presentation of a roster and double staffing.
'Ihe State EOC functioned under the direction of the IESDA Deputy Director.
He conducted periodic briefings and involved the staff in the decision j
naking process as appropriate. The REAC Connander effectively nanaged REAC These operations naking tinely and appropriate protective action decisions.
protective action reconnendations were coordinated with other State and County EOCs as appropriate.
Each agency at the FCP nanaged their own activity under the general coordination of IESDA.
'Ihe State EOC and the REAC facility are sufficient to support energency 7
operations. Appropriate naps, displays and plans were available. The REAC also had video display nonitors. It is reconnended that IDNS consider revision of the color schene used fer the acnitors to increase their visibility throughout the REAC. 7ne ECF ogrations roon was spartan but functional. Maps, plans and displays were available.
Connercial telephone, state radio and anateur radio are available to provide connunication capabilities in the State EOC, the REAC and the ECP. The Nuclear Accident Reporting Systen (NARS) served as the prinary neans for the dissenination of protective action infornation fron the State to DeWitt County. Sone difficulty in accurate conpletion of the NARS by the State lead to sone ninor delays in the dissenination of infornation.
'Ihe Radiological Assessnent Field Tean (RAFT) was positioned at Friends Creek Park during the exercise. The field teans and their equipnent were deployed fron Springfield af ter the " Alert". While at the staging area l
The equipnent was quickly checked and personnal dosinetry was distributed.
field teans had two low band, one high band and one G radio.
It is reconnended that field teans be continuously notified of updated plant and neterological conditions. The field teans equipuent was adequate to nonitor i
anbient radiation levels and the plune. Air sanpling techniques were adequate to neasure radioiodine concentrations and noble gas activity.
Field teans were knowledgeable in the techniques for obtaining environnental sanples. Sanples were double bagged and double tagged. A procedure for sanpling snow should be developed to ensure a uniforn sanpling and analysis procedure. Analytical and laboratory equipnent in the nobile laboratory was capable of preparing environnental sanples for radionetric analysis.
The lab's equipnent was used with direction provided in written SOPS (except snow) to adequately denonstrate the analysis of all sanples collected.
2
Pltme exposure dose protective actions at the REAC.Were initially based on plant paraneters and updated based on neasured release data fron the plant.
'Ihyroid dose projections were initially based on estinated filter efficiency of the Standby Gas Treatnant Systen and later revised based on dose projections fron the air sanple concentration data received from the RAFT.
Protective action reconnendations were based on EPA guidelines and evacuation tine estinates. An early precautionary evauation was reconnended for the population in the zero to two aile radius based on plant conditions and geographic constraints on the evacuation routes. A subsequent reconnendation was nade for evacuation two to ten niles southeast of the plant. The first evacuation order was preceeded by and the second evacuation order included reconnendations to place livestock on stored feed and water in the affected areas.
De State EOC directed the activation of the Pronpt Alert and Notification Systen when these protective action reconnendations were issued to DeWitt County. The Illinois State Police (ISP) and Illinois Departnent of Transportation (IDOT) coordinated the establishnent of road blocks fron the ECP.
S
'1he REAC nade the decision to reconnend the use of potassian iodide (KI) for mergency workers and innobilized populations. The REAC and the DeWitt County EOC coordinated the decision not to issue KI to the residents of the Clinton Nursing Hone.
KI distribution was sinulated for energency workers at the RAFT and the PCP.
A nedia briefing roon is available. at the State EOC. Slowever til nedia triefings were conducted at the Joint Public Infornation Center in Decatur.
IESDA and IDNS dispatched their JPIC staffs at the tine of the " Alert" notification. DeWitt County activated their staff at the " Site Area Ihergency" notification.
IE5DA and IDNS sraffed the JPIC for a single shif t with a roster available to denenstrate around the clock staffing capability. DeWitt County provided staffing for a two shift operation.
"he JPIC facility has a large briefing area as well as adequate support areas for the staff and nedia. A graphics section is located in the JPIC to support briefers with naps and displays. Connercial telephones are the prinary neans of connunications between the JPIC and the State EOC and the REAC. Telephones also serve as the prinary connunication link with the DeWitt County EOC.
Datafax was available for hard copy transnission.
Representatives fron IESDA, IDNS and Illinois Power Conpany briefed the nedia on eleven occasions. The briefings were clear, accurate and tinely.
Prior to each briefing the IESDA and IDNS coordinated the naterial to be released with their respective EOCs, each other and with the utility.
'1he REAC Connander and his staff reconnended unrestricted reentry based on the results of the analysis of environnental sanples. The radiological data indicated that potential doses would be well below the PAG 1evel. The State EDC in conjunction with the REAC issued reconnendations to DeWitt County to allow for the reentry into the affected evacuated areas. The ICP staff denonstrated their responsibilities in the area of traffic control and naintainence of an orderly reentry.

A reception, congregate care and decontanination center for evacuees was activiated at the Beason Elenentary School in Logan County. Se Red Cross was notified by ESDA to activate the center in conjunction with IDNS to receive evacuees fron DeWitt County. During this exercise, a bus load of twenty-one students fran Lincoln High School were pr&wa==9 through the reception center. The volunteers fron the Lincoln Ingan County Red Cross Osapter denonstrated a high degree of training in the registration and care of the evacuees.
IDNS denonstrated their equipnent and procedures for radiological nonitoring and decontanination of evacuees. Telephones and radios operated by the Radio hergency Associated Citizens hn were the prinary neans of connunication between this facility and other locations.
Provisions are available for this facility to function adequately as a congregrate care center.
DeWitt County We BOC staff was nobilized according to the procedures in the plan. Upon notification of the " Site Area Ehergency" the County ESDA staff innediately started to activate the EOC. The ability to naintain a full staff for an extended period of tine was denonstrated by double staffing and the presentation of a roster. Se EOC staff worked as a cohesive unit under the direction of the County Board Chairperson and County ESDA Coordinator.
Were was good discussion between nenbers of the staff during the briefing sessions.
Se facility is adequate to support energency operations and all of the necessary aaps were posted and could be seen by all the EDC staff. *he County denonstrated the capability to connunicate with all r.ecessary locations and organization through the use of various types of connunication l

Sunnary of the Scenario
'Ihe Clinton Power Station radiological energency preparedness exercise objectives and scenario for the January 13, 1987, joint full participation exercise were developed by exercise planners of the Clinton Power Station, IESDA and IDNS. The exercise planners served as controllers during the exercise and protected the scenario fron the exercise participants so they would not be aware of the scenario events.
FEMA Region V participated in a conference call with State planners to select the objectives and deternine the scope of the exercise. Review of previous exercise weaknesses was included in these discussions and were reflected in the objectives selected for this exercise.
Sulmission of the scenario was according to guidelines outlined in NRC and FDiA guidance.
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory reviewed the onsite and offsite scenario for FDiA so evaluation of the objectives selected by the State of Illinois as well as DeWitt County could be accurately assessed. The exercise scenario was sufficient to initiate the energency response by the State of Illinois and DeWitt County. The scenario did allow for the denonstration and evaluation of the objectives selected for the January 13, 1987 exercise of the Clinton Power Station. A narrative sunnary of the exercise scenario follows.
9
j I
INITIAL CONDITIONS Initially, the Clinton Power Station is operating at approxinately 100 percent power, near nid-cycle core live.
It is in its second day of a 14-day Liniting Condition for operation due to the inoperability of the High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) systen. 'lhe Maintenance Departnant is replacing several sections of the HPCS pump inpeller to increase the slowly degrading efficiency of the punp.
Tine has nearly expired on the quarterly operability surveillance of Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) valves. The LPCS will be placed tenporarily out of service in the norning to cycle and record valves stroke times. The planned surveillance will place the Station in a Technical Specification action statenent to return LPCS to service or be in Hot Shutdown within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The tests are expected to take two hours, at which tine the LPCS systen will be returned to service.
UNUSUAL EVENT (0800-0900)
While perforning LPCS valve operability tests, the LPCS Suppression Pool Suction Valve lE21E001 will be tined shut. However, upon given an open signal, the valve fails to open. Problens with nechanical binding within the valve and notor operator render the valve inoperable. Realizing that the valve cannot be repaired quickly, the Shift Supervisor nust declare LPCS inoperable and order a controlled plant shutdown. An " Unusual Event" should be declared.
ALENT (.0900-0950)
While proceeding towards hot shutdown, a feedwater control systen nalfunction wil; occur causing feedwater punp rang up -and high reactor water level scran. The feedwater punps will not trip in tine to prevent flooding of the nain stean lines. Alnost sinultaneously, a failure in the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) initiation logic will cause the RCIC systen to autonatically start. Since the RCIC turbine utilizes stean fron the nain stean lines, a water slug will be forced through the ICIC stean supply piping. An unisolatable RCIC stean supply line break will then occur within the Drywell will innediately indicate a breach in the reactor coolant i
pressure boundary and an " Alert" should be declared.
SITE AREA EMERGENCY (0950-1130)
'Ihe RCIC line break will cause the reactor to depressurize allowing the operation of low pressure Ehergency Core Cooling Systens (ECCS). Low Pressure Coolant Injection punp A (LPIC A) fails to start. Low Pressure Coolant Injection punp C (LPIC C) is used to control reactor water level.
Residual Heat Renoval pung B (RHR B) will be placed in suppression pool cooling node.
Later, snoke is indicated on the 871' elevation of the Auxiliary Building followed by the loss of the Division II 125 VDC power. Control power is lost to Division II equipnent causing LPCI C and RHR B to trip. Nonajor I
source of water to the reactor is available. The snoke indicates a fire of sone nature occurred in the Auxiliary Building causing the lose of Division II 125 VDC, a safe shutdown systen. A " Site Area Ehergency" should be declared.
10
GDIERAL D1ERGENCY (1130-1439)
Reactor water level will fall below the top of the active fuel. Se reactor will be depressurized. A " General h ergency" should be declared due to the loss of two of three fission product barriers, and the potential loss of the third.
~
Efforts to restore significant quantities of water to the reactor will prove fruitless. Suppression pool tenperature will increase to above design lin its. Localized boiling will occur in the suppression pool causing an increase in containnent pressure.
We increase in Containnent pressure will cause Containnent leak rate to increase dranatically.
Due to the onset of fuel danage and the high radioactive concentration airborne in Containnent, substantial radiological releases will occur through Standby Gas Treatnent Systen (SGTS).
RECOVERY (1430-1630)
Energency repairs will be conpleted which will allow a prinary injection systen to reflood the reactor. Containnent spray will be used to quickly reduce Containnent pressure.
Radiological release rates will then decrease and recovery \\re-entry plans will be discussed.
me actual events followed the pre-exercise scenario. %e " Unusual Event" occurred at 0810, the " Alert" at 0913, the " Site Area Energency" at 1907 and the " General Energency" at 1201. At 1021 it was reconnended by the State to place all nilk producing aninals located in the 0-2 nile radius on stored feed. At 1045 the State reconnended the precautionary evacuation of the population in the 0-2 nile radius. At 1217 the State reconnended putting nilk producing +.niaals en stcred feed in all sectors out to 10 niles and notifying the public to evacuate 2-10 niles in the four downwind sectors.
Were was a two week tine step prior to recovery activity being initiated by the State at 1551. Unrestricted reentry was reconnended by the State at this tine.
7.
Description of State and Local Resources Planned To Be Used in the Exercise The State of Illinois planned to staff and denonstrate response activity at the State EDC in Springfield; the IDNS REAC and RAFT (including field nonitoring teans); the State Forward Connand Post in Bloonington; the relocation center at the Beason Elenentary School in Logan County; and the JPIC in Decatur.
I DeWitt County planned to denonstrate its EOC with full energency staff participating. The County also chose to denonstrate its capability (sinulated) to activate the pronpt alert and notification systen, the energency broadcast systen and access control. Evacuation of the plune EPZ was to be sinulated. Macon, McLean and Platt Counties partially activated their EOCs in support of DeWitt County. The nunicipalities of Clinton, i
DeWitt Village, Weldon and Wapella also participated in the exercise at the l
l DeWitt County EOC.

In the REAC, the ability to staff facilities was fully denonstrated and the ability to naintain staffing around the clock was denonstrated by a duty In addition, for training purposes, several of the key positions roster.
were observed by the REAC staff listed on the duty roster for the second shift. The REAC staff denonstrated a high degree of training in the perfornance of their duties.
'Ihe IESDA and IDNS each dispatched representatives to the hergency Operations Facility (EOF). Their responsibility was to serve as liason to l
their respective EOCs in Springfield.

Energency Operations Managenent The IESDA Deputy Director was placed in charge of the energency response. He had the respect and attention of the staff in the State EOC. He held periodic briefings, allowing each agency in the EOC to report on their energency response which involved then in the decision making process.
copies of the State and County plans, as well as checklists, were available for use by EOC staff nenbers. Messages were logged, reproduced and distributed to the staff. The systen in effect is efficient and effective.
Significant event tines were: " Alert" - 0913, " Site Area Ehergency" - 1907,
" General Energency" - 1291.
The REAC Connander had effective control of the REAC operations and nade tinely and appropriate decisions based on technical input. The technical infornation was received fron the environnental and reactor analyst and fron other energency activities in the State EDC, the State Forward Connand Post (EC2) and the DeWitt County EOC.
The respective agency representatives in the ECP at the Arnory in Bloonington were effectively in charge of their energency response. Overall coordination of the ECP operation was provided by IESDA. There were periodic briefings and nutual discussions relative to actions for access control and use of evacuation routes. All personnel were knowledgeable, responsive and well trained.
Facilities The facilities of the State EOC can support extended operations. There is sufficient furniture, space, lighting and telephones for the staff. Noise is controlled at a satisfactory level. Arrangenents can be nade to house parsonnel for an extended stay in the EOC. Backup power generation is available in the facility.
15e energency classification levels were posted in the operations roon in a conspicuous area for all to see.
Events boards were kept up-to-date on significant events. Maps depicting pitme EPZ, evacuation routes, relocation l
centers, access control points, radiological nonitoring points and
(
population by evacuation areas was posted and utilized.
l The REAC is a well equipped facility.
It had good naps, status boards and video displays to support energency operations. Both reactor status boards and the environnental/ protective action status boards were updated in a tinely and effective nanner. The video display nonitors were continuously tpdated as new infornation becane available. However, sone of the colors on the video nonitors were difficult to see at a distance or fron an angle.
AREA RECOMMINDED EVR IMPROVEMINT: Consideration should be given to l
l selecting nore visible color conbinations for the video display nonitors in l
the REAC.
The ECP operations roon is spartan but functional. The balance of the Arnory can provide for a kitchen, dornitory, washroons, showers, etc. Maps and status boards were proninently visible.

donnunications Connunications at the State EOC included State and Federal radio frequencies, dedicated connercial telephone lines, NARS, datafax, and anatuer radio networks. All agencies had individual phone lines. Bree dedicated phone lines were available: utility representative to the IDF, IDNS representative to the REAC and the NARS.
In general, the connunications capability from the REAC to coordinate infornation with other organizations is very good. However, the REAC staff noted that the infornation on the conpleted NARS form was not always consistent with the coordinated decisions. This necessitated a revision of l
the NARS forn issued by the State. This caused a ninor delay in getting hard copy nessages to all organizations. me difficulty appeared to be in the proper recording of data after coordination had taken place between the REAC and the State EOC.
r AREA REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: Training nust be accouplished for the State EOC staff responsible for preparation of NARS nessages in the appropriate way to conplete the NARS forn and/or possible revision of the NARS forn to nake it nore versatile for presenting technical infornation.

A variety of systens were available for connunicating with f'. eld nonitoring tean s.
The prinary systen (low band) is used to connunicate between the 4
Radiological Assessnent Field Tean (RAFT) Connand, the field teans, and the REAC/IDNS dispatcher. Backup systens included another low band frequency, a high band' frequency and a CB radio. Very little current infornation was connunicated to the field teans concerning updated plant and neteorological conditions.
AREA RECCtHEDED FOR IMPROVDET:
IDNS should consider routinely providing field nonitoring teans with updated plant and neteorological data.
Connercial telephones were the prinary neans of connunication at the KP.
We State Police energency connunications van at the TCP with phone intercon hookup had radio back up. Connunications between the PCP and the field teans for access control / evacuation routes was satisfactory.

ivation of the, relocation center was initiated by a call frca the DeWitt County Coordinator to the Red Cross to open the center at the Beason i
Elenantary School in Beason. '1he facility was prepared to rece ve evacuees by 9929.
'1here were sufficient Red Cross staff with adequate training and background to perforn the tasks expected in evacuee processing. Additional staff were available to run the relocation center over an extended period of tine.
Additional Red Cross staff would cone fran the Peoria and Springfield Chapters of the Red Cross.
'the bus transporting the students arrived at the Beason School at 1999.
Each evacuee was registered and given a couplete body scan by the decontanination teans. For the purpose of denonstration there were two teans consisting of 12 persons using two types of survey instrtments. They could process one person every two ninutes.
It is projected the facility could process 65 persons per hour. Anyone being found to be externally contaninated would be decontaninated at this location.
Externally contaninated persons would proceed on a well narked paper path to shower areas.
IDNS personnel would supervise in clothing and valuables renoval. Clothing and valuables would be bagged and individuals would then proceed to showers. Upon coupletion of showering they would be rescanned and returned to the congregrate center in issued clothing.
Food, personal confort and counseling were available for evacuees. Sleeping acconodations, toilets, drinking water, secure storage and parking were provided. Food and provisions for feeding are available fron the school-kitchen for the initial feeding. Additional support would cone fron other j
Red Crcss Chapters.
The center was staffed and equipped to handle handicapped evacuees. A full 4
range of connunications equipnent was available to connunicate with the local and State EOCs and area nedical facilities. A nursing station was established in the facility and quick access to hospitals was available.
A decision to reconnend issuing potassiun iodide (KI) to energency workers and innobilized populations was nade by the REAC at 1190. Subsequently, a discussion was held between the Environnental Analyst and the County IDC l
staff with respect to the possible need to issue KI to the residents of the Clinton Nursing Hone. Based on neterological conditions and forecasts, it appeared that the Clinton Nursing Hone would not be in the pitme path so KI was not reconnended. The nursing hone location was kept under observation in the event that conditions warranted a need for further protective actions.
Radiological Exposure Control Protective equipnent, with the exception of respirators, was available for I
each field tean. KI was available to each field tean nenber. Field teans were faniliar with KI adninistering procedures and under what conditions it i
should be aduinistered. The RAFT Connander gave orders, based on the REAC reconnendation, for energency workers to take KI.

Recovery and Reentry he REAC Connander and his envirormental staff evaluated the radiological data from the environnental sanples that had been collected by the field nonitoring teans. The radiological data from these sanples indicated that the potential doses fran use or consunption of the various environnental nedia would be well below the PAG level for each nadia type. Once this deternination was nade, the REAC Connander nade a decision to reconnend unrestricted reentry to the affected areas.
The State EOC staff coordinated the relaxation of protective actions following the IDNS reconnendation for unrestricted reentry for the population. his reconnendation was connunicated to the DeWitt County EOC by telephone and NARS nessage. Each agency notified it's central office, advising then of the reentry. They, in turn, notified the respective County organizations to coordinate the reentry activities. Discussions were held in the State EOC relative to how these procedures would be inglenented. The recovery and reentry denonstration by the REAC and the State EOC corrected a 4
weakness identified in the previous exercise.
The ECP staff denonstrated their recovery and reentry responsibilities in the area of traffic control and naintenance of orderly reentry. The Illinois State Police are also available to assist local police departnents in conducting investigations.

Public Alerting and Instruction me County ESDA Coordinator ordered the Pronpt Alert and Notification Systen activated at 1955.
The systen was activated due to a protective action reconnendation fron the State at 1045 to evacuate the 0-2 nile radius around the Clinton Power Station. The DeWitt County ESDA Coordinator called the IBS station, WSOY, using the proper authentication code and by so doing corrected a weakness noted in the previous exercise. This denonstrated the ability to utilize appropriate prescripted nessages contained in the plan and ensure that the public receives tinely energency infornation.
Another weakness fron the previous exercise, which dealt with override of the cable TV for the City of Clinton, has been corrected by a plan revision. The Pronpt Alert and Notification Systen was activated again at 1229, which was 12 ninutes after the nessage was received fron the State inforning the County of the expansion of the evacuation reconnendation into an area southeast of the Clinton Power Station.
