Introduction A.
Area Description 1.
Facility The Beaver Valley Power Plant, Unit One is a nuclear steam supply and turbine generator system located twenty-two (22) miles northwcet of rittsburg, Pennsylvania. It was constructed by Stone and Webster along the Ohio River at shippingport, kansylvania and is separate from but adjacent to the shippingport Atomic Power Station. The Beaver valley Power Plant has two units of which Unit One is the only system on line m _= _. _
_M_
at this time, Unit one is owned by three conpanies; Duquesne Light Co::pany (47.50 ; ohio Edison (35%) and Fenrmylvania Power Conpany (17.5%). Duquesne Light Cocpany has the responsibility for the design, construction and the operation of both units.
Unit one went to fall power operation April 30,1977 at 833,000 kilowatts, Unit Two is being built as a conventional pressurized
'w:ter reactor and will produce 833,000 kilowatts at full power.
2.
Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
Emergency preparedness is planned for in two predominant exposure pathvays The area out ten (19) miles in all geographic points from the plant is describod as the " Plume Exposure Pathway". The principle exposure sources from this pathway are; (a) whole body external exposure to ganma radiation from the plume and from deposited material and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The second exposure pathway planned for is the " Ingestion Exposure Pathway." This planning is concerned about the ingestion or contaminated water of foods such as milk in all points predo:.inately from ten (10) to fifty (50) miles from the plant.
3.
Governments within the 10 mile EPZ The Plume Exposure Pathway incorporates the planning for all or part of the following counties: Jolu::biana County, Ohio, Deaver County, Pennsylvania and Hancock County, West Virginia.
4.
Governnents within the 50 mile EPZ The planning for the " Ingestion Exposure Pathway" involves the following States and their counties: Ohio (Belmont, Carroll, Colu::blana, Harrison, Jefferson, Mahoning Portage, stark, and Trunbull), Pennsylvania, (A11engheny, Arnstrong, Beaver, Benango, Butler, Clarion, Fayette, Green, Lawrence, Mucer, 1
Washington, and Westmoreland), West Virginia, (Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, and Ohio).

Special demogr:phic circumst:nces for Planning The denegraphy in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley Power Station v=n studiM in detail ac e p::t of the Ben cr valley Power Station (BVPS) Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and was re-studied as a part of the Environmental Report of the HvPS-2 Prel =.: nary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR). The results of these studies are on file with the Nuclear Regulatory Ccmiccon (N!r). The foll.owing information provided is a l
result of these studies: -
j ~
Because e ergeng planning is accoglished with the health aM safety of people as the concern, the special de::ographic circumstances are described by general popolation distribution and transient p0pulation.
a) General population distribution The population within the 10-mile EPZ was approximately 142,033 in 1982. No comanity has a population in excess of 25,000. The major topographic features are the Ohio River, the Beaver River and the numerous steep ridges and small valleys. As a result of this topography, a high percentage of the total population in this area is locate.?
along the banks of the rivers. Of the total 142,999 population approximately 14,033 reside within five (5) miles of the facility with the remain $er residing between the five (5) and ten (10) miles from the facility. Also, this area experiences the affects of four seasons b)
Transient Population; Seasonal fluctuations in population within the 0-5 mile area are negligible as there are no parks or recreational areas within this area. Raccoon State Park, located about eight (8) miles from the site had an overall attendance rate of 480,000 for the year 1980. In addition to Raccoon State Park, Tomlinson State Park, West Virginia is i
bisected by the ten (13) mile "EPZ boundary". Daily fluctuations in population in this area are insignificant. Large industries work three shifts par day and a majority of the e@ loyees live relatively close to their jcbs.

History and Status of Planning Preparedness 1.
iiistory J
The initial " State of Ohio Plan for Response to Radiation Emergencies at Licensee Nuclear Facilities," dated Decenber 1980 was submitted to FEMA Region V on April 29, 1980 for review and coment. Since that date, the plan has undergone a nu er of revisions. h ae revisions were made because of required changes resulting from plan reviews, exercises, guidance provided by ET.v.A and changes made by the State. The plan sas revised and sub.nitted to FEMA June 21,1984. FEMA acknowledgod receipt of these plans through an announce mnt in the Federal Register, Volume 49, Nunber 145 dated July 26, 1984.
It was the States desire to have this edition reviewed by the RAO and to incorporate changes to the plan that would I
satisfy their coments before they sent it to a professional publisher. The Septenber,1985 and Decenber,1986 revised i
plans are a result of this endeavor. The Regional Assistance Comittee met on February 3.1987 to review the revised Deces or, 1986 State cf 01.

calibration of offsite radiological nonitoring eqaipment both at the state and county levels. The plan further identifies the mille units and the various kits necdod by the radiological nenitoring team. The State has established a central point for the collection of field samles and has arranged for airlift of these samles to the appropriate laboratory for anaylsis.
I.
Accident Assessment The State plan describes the capability and the resources necessary to co@ lete radiological field monitoring within the emergency planning zone (EPZ).
It further outlines the methods, equipment, activation and notification means, field team co@osition, transportation, comunications, monitoring locations and estimated deployment and arrival times to make rapid assessments of radiological hazards through liquid or gaseous release pathways.
h state plan addresses the capability to detect and measure 1
radiciodine concentrations in the air.
+
The state has establishad the means for evaluating the measured paramters and gross radioactivity measurements, estimating integrated doses from the projected and accrued dose rates and for co@aring these estimates with the protective action guides.
The state plan also provides for the arrangements to locate and track the airborne radioactive plume. Further, arrangements have been establis5M with the U.S. Department of Encrgy (USDOE) to provide assistance when needed by the state to increase the capability of tracking and measuring the airborne plume.
i J.
Protective Response Both the State ard County have predetermined evacuation routes and transportation for individuals to offsite locations where arrangements have been made to register evacuees and to provide them with food and shelter. A study has been conducted to ascertain the traffic flow rate based on seasonal conditions.
Further, arrangements have been made to facilitate the evacuation process through the renoval of i@ediments such as stalled cars, i

Medical end P6 1ie Health Succort The State and County plans refer to a list of hospitals including j
backup hospitals which may be called upon to provide medical j
services to those contaminated injured personnel requiring medical 4
attention. These hospitals that have been designated have trained staff and necessary equipment available to provide these services. Transporting contaminated injured individuals to these medical facilitics is also addressed in the plans.
M.
Recovery and Reentry Planning and Post-Accident Operations The State and County plans describe the methods to enable reentry i
into the evacuated area. There are established procedures to evaluate the contaminated area and determine the extent in which protective measures will be relaxed. According to the plan', the s
State in coordination with the utility, is responsible for recorrnending to the county when the protective actions can be relaxed and reentry procodures irnplemented.
It is also possible that the Departnent of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Comrnission (NRC) may also be involved in reconmending relaxing the protective actions during the reentry / recovery phase.
N.
Exercises and Drills The Sr. ate an.i County plans establishes the periodic conduct of sinulated emergencies into the format of an exercise to test the integrated capability of emergency planning and response. These exercises may or may not be conducted in conjunction with the surrounding States and counties included in the we ten mile EP2. The exercises are conducted as required by.he NIC and FEMA rules and planning guidance. Further, the plan provides for the evaluation by Federal evaluators. The State, fol bwi g each exercise, conducts their own critique and establisE methods where by the deficiencies cbserved are corrected.
The State and local plans stipulate drills and tests of the various emergency response conponents as well as the critique of how effective they were. These drills and tests provide for the activation of the varicus response systems and procedures as well as radiological sanpling.
'the plans provide for the development of exercises which includes a listing of objectives, a sanario, and time sequence of events.
The text of the plans describes the development of a narrative and the materials which are developed for official observers during their evaluation of the exercise.

State of Ohio me State of Ohio selected twenty one (21) objectives to be demonstrated of which nineteen (19) were fully denenstrated and two (2) wore partially de:aanstrated. Two (2) areas were identified that require corrective action (field nenitoring j
team and Joint Public Informatin Conter) and ten (10) areas recomended for inprovement were identified.
4 The Ohio Disaster Services Agency (DSA) staff was m&ilized at the " Alert" classification for the porpose of setting up the State Dicrgency Operations Center (EOC) in Worthington, Ohio. The balance of the State agencies (EOC staff) were activated at the " Site Area Emergency" classification.
The State of Ohio has the capability to maintain staffing around the clock over an extended period of time. %e State j
of Ohio staff at the EOC coordinated their actions with each J
other and made necessary decisions. The EOC in Worthington, I
Ohio has received Federal funds from FEMA and it asets all Federal requirerents.
State Staff at the EOC in Worthington, Ohio demonstrated it's ability to cormunicate with State field organizations, Colunbiana County, the contingous States of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the Joint Public.Information Center (JPIC),

Revision 1 was met.
At times, because of an overtaxed telephone system the State staff at the JPIC was unable to cotmunicate with their State EOC counterparts without extensive delays. Also the timeliness of some nedia releases was adversely affected due to a slow telecopier machine. FEMA Region V recomends the State explore the possibility of installing open (hot) line telephone links or other inproved cormunications between the JPIC, the State EOC, the Colunbiana County EOC and the State representative at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant's EOT.
FEMA Region V further recomends the State of Ohio also explore the possibility of having a high speed telecopier instaffed at the JPIC.
The State plan provides for the activation of the JPIC at the
" Site Area E:mrgency" accident classification. Because of travel time to Alequippa, Pennsylvania the State plan also provides for a cadre, including the State Public Information Officer, to be dispatched to the JPIC at the " Alert" emergency classification level. For this exercise the State Staff of two Information officers and two support personnel were prepositioned with the approval of FEMA Region V.
The Duquesne Light Co pany, Western District Headquarters at Alequippa, Pennsylvania served as the JPIC. This facility provided working space for the utility and governmental staff and the media representatives who visited the JPIC. This facility is within ten (10) miles of the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant. The State of Pennsylvania has a policy of evacuating ten (10) miles around a nuclear plant in the event of an accident. Because this facility is within ten (10) miles of Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant FEMA Region V recomends a location outside the ten mile EPZ but still in the local area be selected for the JPIC. This recomendation needs to be coordinated with FEMA Region III.

The Ohio dose assessmnt section was staffed by Ohio DSA, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and Ohio Radiolgoical Health. The Ohio DSA is responsible for dose projections and calculations. Radiological Health is in charge of dose assessment and directs protective actions. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency directs the field nonitoring teams.
Dose calculations are done by conputer with some verification by Texas Instrirnents Programble Calculators. Tables and instructions are available for hand backup.
Radiological health conmunications are by cortmercial telephone; a dedicated telephone to three (3) counties, three (3) states, the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant and the Pennsylvania Radiation Protection Bureau. Hard copy material is via the Ohio DSA contn.:nications system. The dedicated telephone line was out of service a ntriber of times when too many parties were on the line. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency comrnunications is through the Ohio DSA connunications system.
There was some confusion in directing the nonitoring tesan due to both tine lag in the system aM errors made on transmitting the hard copy messages.
FEMA Region V recom' ends the State of Ohio analyze the dodicated phone system and make the necessary inprovements to eliminate the problem when too many parties are on the line.
The radiological field nonitoring team were mobilized and pronptly deployed to their field stations. Their assigned vehicles were outfitted for night driving. Night time reflectivo vests were present and prepackaged egalpment was inventoried.
However, acid anpules and KI were not present.

'~
deployed in this exercise. The team acconpanied by this Federal evaluster was not required by staff at the EOC to de m nstrate ss ple collection. An area reqJiring corrective action it that future scenerlos shall require all field teams' to de onstrate their espsbilities to collect samles.
Time delays were observed in adjusting instrument probe centrols for nultiple probes for single instrument. TE.W
.____ ~ Region V recomends the State of Ohio evaluate whether or not single prebes should be used in the field to avoid tinaa delays caused by control adjustnients. Cormunications equipment with the radiological field teams functioned satisfactery.
Staff were pro @tly mobilized and the EOF activated following an " Alert" Notification.
Twenty-four hour staffing capabilities were demonstrated by a shift-change, double staffing cr the presentation of a roster of replacement staff.
Tne EOF facility and posted displays were Well suited to the support of the emergency operations. Primary and secondary coranications syste:m were in place and appropriate for the participating organizations and field personnel. '!he activities of the Environmental Assessment and Dose Projections 'Ibam were sufficient to meet the objective concerning dose projections from existing plant conditions and field data.
Protective action recomutndations are primrily a state responsibility. Utility and State managers dc.onstrated their ability to make decisions concerning issuing KI to their emergency workers and determined that KI was not appropriate under the conditions of the scenario.
Due to the timing of the exercise, the demonstration of the ability to estimate total population exposure was not conpleted, although the software for conpleting this task was reported to be in place.
the Ohio Dose Assessment Team.This was done at the State EOC by EOF managers briefed all organizations including the staff responsit.le for media relcases. Public information staff prorpti f released information to the JPIC as well as coerdinated the information available to their rumor control staff.
An area suggested for inprovement is that the EOF briefings would be inproved if they included more information on the emergency re3ponse activities being inplemented by the participating States.

The team was equipped for rapid deployment with a standardized kit containing all necessary supplies for sanple collection. They were familiar with all dairy far:ts in the area.
There are two recontnendations for inprovements:
1.
that the team use a vehicle equipped with a two way radio to facilitate rapid cormunications.
4 2.
that team menbers be provided with personal dosimeters such as the CDV 742 and 730, including forms for periodic pasting of any contamination levels. These would be in addition to and provide more timely readings than TLD's which should also be worn with the self reading dosimeters.

Although the scenario was not designed to exercise recovery and reentry the State of Ohio recognized the need for continued monitoring and sanple collection data as a basis for future recovery and reentry recomendations and decisions.
Colunisiana County Colusiana County selected twenty two (22) objectives to be demonstrated of which eighteen (18) were fully demonstrated, three (3) were partially deconstrated, and one (1) was not demonstrated. One ares was identified as an area reqairing corrective cetion and cix recommndctions foc f.provcNnt werc identified.
Colunbiana County demonstrated their ability to mobilize their emergency staff and to activate their EOC pronptly. Some activities such as evacation of a risk school, a* ulance and hospital facilities for handling contaminated individuals were demonstrated during daylight hours prior to the exercise. The EOC was staffed "real time" beginning with the " Alert" emergency action level at 1826.
It was fully staffed at 1948. 24-hour staffing capability was evidenced. The DSA Coordinator provided leadership for the staff as they performed their various emergency activities. An Executive Staff conposed of two County Comissioners and the Sheriff established authority and direction for the DSA Coordinator and actively participated in the exercise. They carefully reviewed the various incidents of the emergency and collectively arrived at decisive actions to be taken by the energency response organization.
The EOC facility is conposed of several rooms which provides separate areas for operations, the nessage center, the Executive Staff, the DSA Coordinator, the RDO and conrrunications. The facility has all the basic amenities necessary to support the emergency staff, including all required maps and charts. The staff demonstrated capability to comunicate with all required locations. Some inprovenent in the hard-copy transmission system between the EOC and the JPIC is recomended. At 2125, the County received notice of the " General Emergency" EAL and the protective action recomendation for evacuation. Sounding of the sirens was coordinated with other governmental jurisdictions and simulated at 2135. This is within the standard established by FEMA guidelines. Concurrent with sounding the sirens, a' message was prepared and simulated over the local emergency broadcast system (EBS) station.

To evaluate the ability of Colunblana County to evacuate schools i
the Federal evaluator interviewed staff at the school demonstrations at the West. gate Elenentary School and the East-
~TT Liverpool school Administration Building. A plan is in place and procedures were pronptly inplimented. School activities were supported by the of forts of the school bus garage. However, the radiological monitoring and exposure control for bus drivers needs inprovement. An area reconmended for inprovement is additional training is needed for bus drivers and supervisory staff on the use of personal dosinetry, dose limits and decontmination.
Sinulated evacuation was demonstrated through discussions and decision naking in the EOC. Traffic and access control points were established and mathods for dealing with inpediments to traffic flow were discussed.
Individuals having special concerns in an evacuation were identified and assisted as necessary.
It is suggested any traffic restrictions could be marked on the evacuation route map as a visual aid for the staff.
Staff of the Salem High School Reception and Congregate Care Center demonstrated procedures for registration and radiological conitoring of evacuees; and the adequacy of facilities for mass care of evacuees. The Center's de::enstration of the objectives were effectively achieved through the cooperation of the salem Fire Departnent; the A~crican Red Cross; County Social Services; the Coluabiana County Amateur Radio Club and a volunteer evacuse from the Ladies Auxilliary of the Winona-Butler Fire Department.
However, not all agencies demonstrated 24-hour staffing capability.
We evacuee was received and processed into the Center, monitored for radiological contamination, went through simulated decontamination and was registered into the Care Center by the American Red Cross.
It is suggested that the Fire Department assenbly area demnstration should include determination of levels of patient contamination and the need (if any) for emergency room treatment.
i An anbulance crew of the East Palestine Fire Department demonstrated the adegaacy of anbulance facilities and procedures for handling contaminated individuals. The anbulance crew picked-up an injured contaminated individual, who was sinule--

At the JPIC, the steff demnstrated the ability to mbilize and activate the JPIC in accordance with the plan. The staff l
demnstrated the ability to fully staff the JPIC and maintain staffing aroun3 the clock, and demnstrated the ability to make decisions and to coordinato emergency activities in accordance
~~
with the plan. The facility and displays are adequate to support the activities of th: JPIC but bece.use of an overtaxed telephone system the staff was not able to conmanicate with their EOC counterparts without extended delays. The spokesperson demonstrated their ability to brief the media in a clear, accurate an$ tim ly manner. The staff also demnstrated the ability to provide advance coordination of information released but some Ohio news releases were not transmitted to the County EOC from the JPIC.
Recovery and reentry was not to be demnstrated. A discussion was held at the end of the exercise identifying what problems might arise in reentry and recovery.
Items discussed were soil and water sa plin;, milk an3 food sa::pling and control, and the possibility of claim for losses from businesses and individuals who were forced to evacuate. This was a positive aspect that should be noted. Those actions exceeded the reqairements of the exercise scenario.
