s.- g g n C 1 EXERCISE BACEGROUND b The third Radiological Emergency Preparedness exercise for the Waterford 11 Steam Electric Station (W-Ill) was conducted on October 15, 1986. The State of f,' Louisiana and three local jurisdictions partially participated in this exercise. The initial O' qualifying Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted February '
- 8,1984 and all jurisdictions participated on a full-participation basis. The Federal O. Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) evaluated the off-site radiological emergency , ,,, response capabilities in all three of these exercises.
mg On October 16, 1986, three meetings were held - a 9:00 a.m. meeting of the 11-member Federal evaluation team'to present their preliminary findings to the Acting RAC (". . Chairman, a 1:00 p.m. critique for the State, local and utility officials to present a short overview of the preliminary results of the exercise, and a 5:00 p.m. Public Critique at the St. Charles Parish Courthouse, Hahnville, Loulslana.

Section 4 compiles, in tabular format, all FEMA Objectives Met or yet to Be ( Achieved, developed from NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1, as well as a summary sheet of those FEMA Objectives which have not been satisfactorily met or tested to date. The findings presented in this report were reviewed by the Acting RAC Chairman [ ie of FEMA Region VI. FEMA suggests that State and local jurisdictions take remedial actions in response to each of the problems indicated in the report and that the State ' ( submit a schedule for addressing.these problems. 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 Defielencies and Areas Requiring Corrective ,
; Action have been corrected and that such corrections have been incorporated into State ,
._ and local plans, as appropriate. -

' 1.1 EXERCISE
SUMMARY
State of Louisiana Operations .q r The Loulslana State Office of Emergency Preparedness (LOEP) and the Loulslana
'; Nuclear Energy Division (LNED), both located for the exercise at the LOEP Emergency _ - Operating Center (EOC), in Baton Rouge, Loulslana, participated in the Waterford 3 I-i exercise. Both agencies demonstrated an adequate level of readiness for dealing with a radiological emergency. Due to the limited nature of the partial exercise, only the ,
staffing required to demonstrate the objectives designated for the exercise was present - at the EOC. Operations were well managed by the LOEP and LNED personnel present, and the entire (limited) staff was effectively involved in decision making. , Physical aspects of the EOC are adequate to support cesivaous operations and message boards, maps and other displays were posted and effectively used to facilitate
- 2 the State's response function. Communications facilities, equipment and procedures, in general, functioned in an appropriate manner throughout the exercise. 1
.l1 Local Government Operations I.$
Local governments participating in the exercise were the two Parish j governments located within the 10-mile EFZ, St. Charles Parish and St. John the Baptist ,, Parish, and, to a very limited extent, Jefferson Parish in a support role. These local , participants very capably demonstrated the resources, knowledge and initiative necessary
- to alert the populace and to implement protective actions which would protect the [j residents in the event of an incident at Waterford 3.
Facilities at the Parish EOCs are, for the most part, adequate and contained ff
. space, equipment and other resources to support continuous operations. The St. Charles Parish EOC is equipped with a kitchen and bunking facilities for on-site accommodation and off-shift staff.
Effectiveness of communications equipment, procedures, and staff was established through the activities generated by the exercise and by extensive contacts g with the EOF and other response organizations. a Detailed evaluations of performance at each locality are provided in Section 2 of
}
this report. 1.2 FEDERAL EVALUATORS . Eleven Federal evaluators participated in the evaluation of this . partial

SUMMARY
f.' .f 4' I. The sequence of events hypothesized is provided to test the integrated emergency response capability of organizations established to protect ,
' the public should an actual emergency occur and includes postulated "
failures which could conceivably cause fuel failure. The scenario is not entirely realistic nor all-inclusive in allowing credit for engineered .., safeguard systems or personnel actions. The sequence of events pro- " l vides a basis for a sequence of resulting radiological parameters on which to base this exercise, but does not necessarily represent a , possible real sequence of events. j l __ _ _.-_. __ w. .: .u- c. _ a. _ .-

(- At 0735, an earthquake is felt in the plant. An Unusual Event will be .
" declared. Notification will be made to appropriate personnel and %. agencies. hilowing the earthquake, at 0820, the Control Room will receive a report that the discharge piping on the "A" LPSI pump is leaking and water was sprayed on the motor. A piping flange has
{ t, cracked and the contents of the line have leaked on to the pump motor. An in-line check valve prevents further leakage. In order for the "A" LPSI pump to be operable, the weld must be repaired. The "A" LPSI pump is declared out of service. Both trains of shutdown cooling c x. are now inoperable. This condition results in the declaration of an Alert at about 0830, i-The Alert declaration initiates the mobilization of the On-site
emergency Organization (TSC-OSC) and Emergency News Center staff.
The TSC and the OSC staff begin arriving at their respective facilities [ prior to 0900. The earthquake also causes a misalignment of the limit _
<- switch and a shorted contact in the pressure switch associated with f n' containment vacuum relief isolation valve CVR-201. The result of the i damage to these switches and a failed indicator light is that the valve (CVR-201) moves off its seat but indications on the Reactor Control Panel are that the valve is closed. Computer point indicators (SPDS)
[- show that the valve may be in the mid-position. The fact that a breach of containment has actually occurred may not be evident untillater in [(: h Le.. i-9 . ; ;p m-e.pgnn.7 gm. - ,~ - .m p- j.

At 0940, a total loss of all AC power occurs. As the Reactor Coolant }' Jj Pumps coast down, a Reactor trip occurs on low DNBR. The loss of Ti power begins with a loss of off-site power and is complicated by the & failure of the "A" Emergency Diesel Generator output breaker to close

,,;' when the diesel starts. A station black-out occurs. A Site Area
? Emergency is declared. The Near-site (EOF) and off-site (CCC) n 3 Emergency Organizations are mobilized. At 1010, the "A" Emergency ;
Diesel Generator output breaker is closed, restoring power to some q systems and components. 77

7 1.6 EVALUATION CRITERIA The Waterford 3 exercise evaluations that follow in Section 2 of this report are e based on applicable planning standards and evaluation criteria set forth in Section II of NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1, Rev.1 (Nov.1980). The exercise was evaluated using the h ; modular format evaluation forms. 7.- Following the narrative for each jurisdiction or off-site response activity, + L Deficiencies, Areas Requiring Corrective Actions and Areas Recommended for Improvement are presented with accompanying recommendations. Any identified ;
. Deficiencies would result in a finding that the off-site preparedness is not adequate to .
provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can -and would be U taken, to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the site, in s
' g~, the event of a radiological emergency. At least one Deficiency in this category would -
result in a negative finding. , i f Areas Requiring Corrective' Actions include those activities where performance ., (- demonstrated during the exercise was evaluated and considered faulty; corrective actions are considered necessary, but other factors indicate that reasonable assurance could be - given that, in the event of a radiological emergency, appropriate measures can and will !U be taken to protect the health and safety of the public. This category should be ,
, relatively easy to correct in comparison to those classified as Deficiencies.

L 2.1 LOUISIANA STATE OPERATIONS [.' l 2.1.1 State EOC (LOEP/LNED) , 4. e- %' NARRATIVE
- The Louisiana State EOC is located la the basement of the Land and Natural h~ Resources Building in Baton Rouge. Activation and staffing were not exercise e objectives, but the LOEP and LNED were staffed adequately to demonstrate FEMA C
I' Objectives #3 (the ability to make decisions and to coordinate emergency activities), #5 (the ability to communicate with all appropriate locations, organizations and field
- y. personnel), #32 (the ability to identify the need fcr, request and obtain Federal assistance), #36 (the adequacy, operability, and effective use of communications equipment and the adequacy of communications procedures and methods), and #37 (the ability to monitor Emergency Classification levels continuously and implement j[r procedures in a timely manner). All five of these objectives were met.
, The communications room staff handled their duties in an effective and
(' professional manner. Communications equipment was adequate, and pz: mary and ' secondary units functioned appropriately, with only minor exceptions, which will be noted. Message handling was done well, and message forms were generally used j'j" effectively and according to the plan. The " bug" in the hotline which was present in the prior Waterford exercise was corrected and the hotline worked consistently. Minor flaws 7, with the hotline involved the variability of volume levels and the difficulty of operating L_ the telephone receiver / sender. The volume level on the hotline telephone and table-top speaker is not consistent and was occasionally weak. To send or receive with adequate
. telephone speaker volume, a button on the telephone receiver must be depressed.
y"- Keeping the button depressed can be difficult with long and/or repeated messages. It is desirable to improve the controlability and dependability or volume of the hotline. The ,. copier which is used by the EOC message runner was out of order in the morning,
- h. _. ' . requiring repair. Although there are back-ups, the back-ups are the fax machines in the
' communications center which are not adequate to cope with the volume demands of a real emergency or full exercise. The LOEP should keep the EOC message runner's copier l'

16 q in a good state of repair or, if the copier is unreliable, purchase another. The LOEP Message Form was not consistently used. The Department of Public Safety Facsimile Transmittal Form, which was often used instead, does not have enough detail and does 7 y .~ not provide a record as good as the LOEP Message Form. For messages other than those calling for LNED Form 100, the LOEP communications staff should consistently use the q LOEP Message Form. 3 S. D] [ When the first fax message was transmitted to the JIC, the telephone line at the JIC was busy for 15 minutes. Although this problem was solved and the line kept clear "' S for remaining messages, the unusual behavior of the telefax machine at the EOC should ' .; _ be remedied. Instead of giving a busy signal when the JIC line was busy, the machine transmitted to another location in the Land and Natural Resources Building. LOEP should determine what caused the improper transmissions by the telefax machine when 7 D ~ the JIC receiving telephone was busy, and should fix the problem. O Alerting and Notification through EBS messages sent to WCKW by St. John's Parish was accomplished, and copies of the messages were sent to the State EOC. The 'n , 3 Parishes assumed full responsibility for EBS messages. Consistent with the plan, only @ WCKW-FM and her AM sister station issued EBS messages, although the capability to q issue the EBS messages over several other radio stations exists at the State EOC. .; J: . The Assistant Secretary of the LOEP was in charge of the State _ EOC ]f operations. The EOC was also staffed by the Assistant Secretary, Office of Air Quality r and Nuclear Energy, an LNED technical liaison representative, a technical liaison "'4 . representative from the utility and other staff membe.rs of the LOEP. As stated above, y i FEMA objective _ #3 was adequately met. Direction of operations was well managed, ,] 7 including effectively keeping all EOC staff members involved in the decision making process. There was good coordination between the State LNED administrator, located at ", the EOF, and the key staff members at the State EOC. Even though it was not an objective for the exercise, status boards and other displays were effectively used to facilitate the State's response function. The State EOC staff operated out of the
,o executive conference room whleh was adequate for this partial participation exercise. j FEMA objective #32 relating to the State of Louisiana requesting and obtaining Federal assistance was also adequately met. When the " Alert" classification was m}
received by the Communications Center at the State EOC, the communications officer wrote on his log to contact FEMA Region VI. He simulated that a call was made. After the controller realized that a call had not been officially made, the communications " f. officer was requested to do so. A call was then made to FEMA Region VI but the verbal request was not precise enough to cause him to give a proper message to FEMA Region , VI. The LOEP officer in charge appropriately then made another call to Region VI i A requesting Federal assistance. Region VI deployed a Deputy Senior official (simulated) and a public information officer (PIO) to the LP&L emergency news center. The Region VI PIO participated in the exercise at the LP&L emergency news center. ; y \ In summary, the limited objectives of this partial participation exercise were
~
met by the staff and equipment at the State EOC. State EOC activity was slow in the 7 afternoon as a result of limited scenario events and limited State goals for the exercise. - Aside from these shortcomings, the scenario was adequate to allow the State to demonstrate the agreed-to objectives. i I'

Visitor's Center, the Plant Training Facility and the EOF. Its design provides for Y effective emergency operations. From the point of view of making and coordinating . Dose Assessment Activities, the physical layout is nearly ideal. The utility's Dose - Assessment office is adjacent to the room allocated to the LNED Dose Assessment 3 office, and there is a connecting door. Furthermore, this pair of offices is directly 1 across a corridor from the Radiological Asaressment Coordinator in the Commind Room, and is additionally connected by a dedicated intercom. [ A LNED Liaison Team was dispatched from Baton Rouge to the' EOF when the 9 Site Area Emergency was declared (at 9:52 a.m.) and arrived at the EOF approximately - [ one hour later. At 11:20 a.m., shortly after the declaration of General Emergency, the EOF announced to all parties concerned that they had assumed responsibility for a emergency operations. Due to the limited nature of the partial exercise, with field i
;; monitoring not being an objective, the LNED team 'had only utility input for dose ,
(, - assessment activity. The utility field team coordinator did, on many occasions, come to i .' the LNED work area and announce a dose assessment (and assume reasonable agreement) ]- before passing the information to the Radiological Assessment Coordinator. The Radiological Assessment Coordinator evaluated the data provided and posted it on the .j. . . i.( status boards near his station in the Command Room. These status boards are easily - - 'T" visible' to the LNED Liaison Officer at the front center of the Command Room. He _ ,3 reviewed and evaluated data from the boards and placed calls to LNED and LOEP to . [' provide Information and make recommendations. The evaluations made by the LNED - lf Liaison Officer demonstrated the ability to determine appropriate protective measures based on PAGs, available shelter, evacuation time estimates and other appropriate factors. Overall, based on the information given LNED, their response actions were ~k appropriate and conservative. Communications equipment functioned well throughout the exercise. The EOF ;' communications room contains dedicated telephone lines, commercial telephone lines and State Civil Defense radio for communications with the State and local EOCs.

All were met. f., Objective No. 5 (demonstrate the ability to communicate with all appropriate
- v. locations, organizations and field personnel): The representatives from LOEP, LNED, the Governor's Office and St. Charles Parish demonstrated their capability to communicate f.
with all necessary locations to enable them to carry out their roles as spokespersons. L-Objective No. 24 (demonstrate the ability to brief the media in a clear, accurate
, and timely manner): Clearly, the plans, procedures and facilities provide for gathering .
necessary information, ensuring its accuracy and disseminating it promptly to the news media and the public. However, there appear to be a few problems which pose the potential for confusion and even a loss of credibility.
}?,
t In one instance, the State PIOS entered the second news briefing with the intent of discussing only those protective action recommendations listed in LOEP news release k, no. 4 because they had not yet received LOEP news release no. 5, which discussed additional protective action recommendations. However, these additional recommendations had been approved and in alllikelihood would have been issued over the
,b .
EBS network, thereby already having become public knowledge. - ,y It is recommended that the LOEP procedures be modified to allow its ,' spokespersons to discuss important information provided it has been confirmed over the f
"' telephone. News release no. 5 arrived during the news conference, in time to prevent this contradictory situation from developing, g w ,
E A second problem stems from the State's references in its press releases to protective actions it has recommended. This is an important role perfo'rmed by the State ,g and credit is. deserved. Howe.ver, what the parishes decide to do to protect their citizens 7 (? may differ from what the State recommends. To avoid confusion and what might appear ' ! to the media and the public to be a disagreement between State and local authorities, it may be advisable for the state to discontinue its references to its recommendations. The [ parish press releases already discuss protective actions being implemented and can stand
- as the single source of this information in most cases. If the State feels it necessary to lc p

~ ,$ discuss its recommendations, it should also explain in its press releases that the ultimate i decision-making authority lies with the parishes, and there may be differences between what n recommended and what is being implemented. 7 3
b C There was also a problem involving a delay in the dissemination of some
/,) Information. About one hour and 20 minutes elapsed between the onset of radioactive -
releases from the plant and the time the media was advised of this event. Gathering g information about the event and making a total assessment obviously takes time. In this-particular situation, speed is also an asset. It is far better to issue the information as .q accurately and expeditiously as possible than to respond to rumors and accusations of ~ having withheld information from the press and the public. Another problem involved the lack of displaying appropriate maps depicting ~
. evacuation / sheltering routes and sectors. The only map displayed was found hanging in the office of the ENC director. Several other maps were found leaning against a wall of ,
the eighth floor news conference room. The maps were not brought out for use untillate j in the exercise (about 2 p.m.) to show the simulated media the evacuation / sheltering sectors. ... s The only other problems affecting the totally successful demonstration of Objective No. 24 involved the use of some technical terminology which should have been _, explained during the news briefings, and some brief Indecision as to whether the offsite .f
- technical advisor should have a hand in the actual writing of the news releases. This
; latter problem was quickly resolved during the exercise.
[ Objective No 25 (demonstrate the ability to provide advance coordination of , information released): This was adequately handled with LP&L spokespersons providing sufficient advance time prior to news briefings to advise the various utility, State and local news personnel about the substance and impact of upcoming news briefings. .,,
-; Overall, it was an effective exercise at the ENC and all participants performed well. Persistent and penetrating questioning of LP&L spokespersons and other exercise .]7 participants by utility employees posing as reporters made this an especially meaningful s
and rewarding exercise. DEFICIENCIES ; a None.

Description:
LOEP was unable to announce State actions (for
- 4. example, protective action recommendations) prior to receipt of written and signed press releases (via telefax). Problems arise if the state is unable to discuss actions that are already known by the L media because they have been broadcast over EBS ' network or because parishes have released the information. 1.
(
- Recommendation: It.is recommended that procedures be modified to permit the LOEP spokesperson the flexibility to discuss actions that have been taken provided that the information has been con-i firmed by telephone to be accurate prior to its release to the media. ,
Description:
In press releases issued by LOEP, there are statements , [ , (. regarding protective actions that have been recommended. However, these recommendations may differ from protective , p actions that are being implemented by parishes and are discussed in f parish press releases. Great potential exists for seemingly contradictory information and perhaps confusion. [
- t. Recommendation: There is no need for the state to make reference to its speelfic recommendations in its press releases. The fact that '
it has made recommendations is well documented elsewhere. To [. avoid confusion, state should either avoid reference altogether or make it more clear in its press releases that parishes have the i
'O' ultimate decision-making authority and that what is actually being t done by the parishes may therefore differ from what is c' recommended.

- a "'
?,; The EOC Director effectively directed and controlled EOC operations, M demonstrated excellent decision-making skills and maintained close coordination with 7 3
appropriate external organizations during implementation of his decisions. The EOC "
.. staff (following their arrival for television taping) were frequently briefed and were
;, closely involved in the decision-making process. ' The technical advisor provided by the -
') utility provided invaluable advice to the Director and EOC staff. j i
-', The EOC is a well arranged, fully hardened facility that is capable of supporting ,
e - a protracted emergency response. It is well lighted and uncrowded, and contains a -]
- kitchen, bunking facilities and backup power. Two alternate EOCs, of lesser capability, are available if necessary. Excellent status boards were clearly posted and maintained .
L j throughout the exercise. Maps depicting the EPZ with sectors labeled, evacuation
? routes, traffic control points, population by sectors and monitoring points were clearly displayed and referred to during the exercise. Copies of the Parish Plan were available .,
as well as written procedures and check-lists for each EOC staff position. Message .l
> handling was effective and a master log of all messages was maintained. EOC sacurity was simulated but, when questioned, Sheriff's Dept. personnel demonstrated thorough .,
knowledge of the security procedures for the facility. _) EOC communications systems and procedures worked well throughout the _ exercise and have a high degree of redundancy; many telephones, hotlines, various radios
} and fac machines were available and used as necessary. Dedicated and commercial -
~
telephones were the primary means of communications, backed up by other equipment as .. required. At 9:52 a.m. the exercise situation escalated to a Site Area Emergency. Shortly Q thereafter, in accordance with prior agreements within the locality, the EOC Director i , remmmended the evacuation of the Killona School. At 10:38 a.m., a precautionary ,
; u- \ tion of the community of Killona was recommended and one siren in that
& anity was sounded (simulated). The news media was advised of this action and a },
(sh , ated) EBS message was issued about this precautionary action. J: Following the decision by the utility to evacuate all non-essential personnel from , the plant site, the EOC Director decided to use his industrial hotline'to advise the petro- ', ! chemical industries within a mile of the Waterford 3 plant of the utility action and to suggest that they consider taking appropriate action. The verbal instructions from the q EOC Director to his communicator were misunderstood and the message transmitted j indicated that the EOC was recommending the evacuation of all non-essential workers. It is recommended that all outgoing messages be given to communicators in writing so ) that; a) the meaning of the message is clearly understood, and b) the identical message is i given to all of the many addressees on the hot line.

- e. w A General Emergency was declared at 11:10 a.m. and the utility recommended, ;'
t_ as a protective action, that the general public in evacuation sectors A1, B1, C1, D1, B2 C' and D2 take shelter. The utility communicator, at the TSC, who was on the hotline to r transmit this message seemed to lack comprehension of the meaning of the message and recommended that these sectors evacuate instead of shelter. It required considerable
' effort, by the other organizations on the hotline, to straighten out this misunderstanding. '
i It is to their credit that they caught the problem and worked to resolve it. An " evacuation recommendation for sectors A1, B1, C1, D1,' B2 and D2 was issued by the F utility at 11:48 a.m. The EOC immediately initiated (simulated) all appropriate actions to deploy traffic control personnel and issued public announcements, via the EBS, cable j [. ' television and other media outlets, instructing the public on the actions that they should
-i take. The siren system was activated several times to alert the public of the EBS t announcements that followed over the next few hours. At the same time instructions ,J were issued (simulated) to halt air, rail and water traffic into the EPZ. It was noted that
[ the decision to halt river traffic was not coordinated with the adjoining Parish (St. John ' ' t, the Baptist) until that Parish requested information on Coast Guard notification. It is recommended that the Transportation Officers Procedures be reviewed to insure
' coordination with adjacent Parishes in the event of a request to the Coast Guard to halt .
[ Mississippi River traffic. 1; r- Throughout the exercise, instructions for the public were prepared by the PIO in *
~
coordination with the EOC staff. The PIO is the Assistant to the Parish Police Jury
] President (Parish Chief Executive Officer) and empowered by law to act in his absence. .
After consultation with the EOC Director, the draft messages to the public are read over
,[ a radio link to the EBS station where they 'are taped and then replayed to the public i (contact with EBS was simulated). The PIO also has direct access to all cable TV 4
- channels; could blank the screen and override the audio, or could directly input an
!<. emergency message on the government access channel (channel 11). All messages were also sent to the LOEP, LNED add the LP&L emergency news center. Information~ was (
- r presented in terms of familiar landmarks as.well as the sectors. Schools, hospitals,
! nursing homes and industries were separately contacted via special communications links (simulated). The Parish dispatched a representative to the LP&L media center to serve as spokesman and liaison. His operations are covered in the media center portion of this I report. Although NOT an objective of the exercise, the initial public notification and protective action message drafting and dissemination (simulated) for the general
; emergency took 20 minutes, slightly longer than the 15 minute federal standard. Also, f
another protective action message took 32 minutes to draft and disseminate. It is , ! recommended that procedures be reviewed to insure timely preparation and dissemination of public information or action messages. .: l< Even though the EOC staff had not intended to participate in the exercise, but / only in the television taping session, they became involved and demonstrated effective P i ( decision making and acted to coordinate implementation of procedures within and across [ I L their functional areas during the two hours of their operation during the General f' Emergency. Some of their activities were actual and some were simulated. For a
. ; example, the Health Officer and the Transportation Officer actually coordinated as they 1i arranged simulated evacuation transportation for medical institutions. On the other <

] During the course of the exercise, coordination between St. John the Baptist -] 1 3
Parish, St. Charles Parish, and all appropriate emergency response entitles was 1 demonstrated. Implementation of PARS regarding the Killona schoolchildren and general
] population evacuation, the evacuation of industries in Taft, coordination of PAR ; .-]
R implementation for Montz and coordination of news releases and stren soundings a demonstrated an excellent working relationship with St. Charles Parish. Unofficial 3 y information received from the State was used for preparation purposes only and no j
,2 implementation was carried out until official information was received. Conversely, Implementation status from the Parish was conveyed as appropriate to the State. One q
- .l h point of confusion surfaced regarding the responsible entity for contacting the Coast ~'
Q Guard to control traffic on the river uithin the EPZ. St. Charles Parish has the -
': responsibility for contacting the Coast Guard and is also responsible for coordinating this d action with St. John the Baptist Parish. This coordination was not effected until, at ~ ) 1:10 p.m., St. John inquired. of St. Charles about closing the river. Overall, the demonstrations and response actions indicated that St. John the Baptist Parish met 4] objective 3 regarding demonstration of ability to make decisions and to coordinate '
emergency activities. j' Objective 5 was met by demonstration of the Parish's ability to communicate ~' with all appropriate locations, organizations and field personnel. During the exercise two issues surfaced regarding use of the " Notification Message Form". First' one of the
", j.
utility communicators at the TSC was not clear in conveying information on Item 6 of
- d. the form (Recommended Protective Actions). It took some effort, on the part of other f locations on the hotline network, to clarify the intent o.f the message (Message #F-11, at q 11:09 a.m.). The other issue relates to the State LOEP EOC using an obsolete form.
; ^
Neither of these issues related directly to St. John the Baptist Parish but were simply S identif!ed at that location during the exercise. - h The final objective, number 36, regards demonstration of the adequacy, -- j operability and effective use of emergency. communications equipment. This objective _ 4 was met. However, at approximately 1:15 p.m., the hotline phone system was i Inoperative for a short period of time. Back-up systems were used and effective and q timely communications were maintained. This breakdown is as yet unexplained and
+ should be investigated and appropriate corrections made. *)
I A concern was expressed by the emergency response staff that the facility used
- for emergency response operations was less than optimal. Although the facility was {
- adequate, it was felt that, given the major responsibilities of St. John the Baptist Parish ,~
in responding to emergencies, consideration should be given to the establishment of a dedicated EOC facility. DEFICIENCIES: . 7 Q l None. 9 3

(simulated) contaminated patient, the helicopter ambulance crew communicated the '(' [ appropriate data to the hospital where immediate steps were taken to prepare to receive the patient. Critical procedural steps in this preparation were posted in the Emergency b. Room to assure that nothing would be missed. In-house notifications were made to all E p l departments designated for involvement in radiation accident response, from housekeeping to management. By 1:50 p.m. the Emergency Room was set up and
.r prepared, the staff was dressed in Anti-Contamination clothing and all required ,
; equipment and supplies were in place. Personnel monitoring devices (TLDs and SRDs) were issued to all emergency room staff. However, since no dosimeter charger was

E AREAS RECOMMENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT y . Hone. (., '. :- c y 2.3 UTILITY SUPPORT i' A summary is provided below of some of the Loulslana Power and Light Company
;/f Issues which relate to or impact upon the off site activities performed.by the various 7
- i. participating agencies. This section is presented because the Federal evaluators ,d 4 determined that some issues resulting from Utility operations created off site impacts.
$ FEMA acknowledges that its responsibility is not to cite utility deficiencies, areas requiring corrective action, or areas recommended for improvement. However, the .,
[& 0 noted lasues that follow should be addressed by the NRC and/or Utility to prevent their recurrance during future exercises or in a real emergency at the Waterford 3 Station. '?'

Description:
An apparent lack of comprehension by a utility j communicator at the TSC of Part 6 of the Notification Message '.- Form, resulted in considerable confusion over the meaning of [. p Message F-11 as read over the hotline. The message, as read, ll seemed to indicate a recommendation for shelter in four areas within one mile of the plant, and evacuation of two other areas ' j] [ '3 O farther from the plant. This anomaly was noticed at once at the local EOCs but required several minutes and a number of requests 7 for clarification to straighten out. The original intent of the , f~
.' - message was a recommendation for shelter in all six of the areas noted in the message.
L.*- Recommendation: The Utility should insure that all of their communicators are ' trained in the meaning of the entries on the . t i.' Notification Message Form and that the intent of all outgoing . J] L messages is clear prior to their transmission. ; e Descriptiom The hotline telephone system at the St. John the 1 Baptist Parish EOC was inoperative for a short period of time at I

Description:
Maps displaying evacuation / sheltering sectors were p 1 not observed anywhere in the LP&L Emergency News Center except in the ENC Director's office. Maps were later displayed in the y[ News Conference Room towards the end of the exercise. , Recommendation: Make sure maps are displayed in several '
. r' prominent locations in the ENC and in the News Conference Room at all times.

- Descriptiom A number of technical terms associated with the
[- nuclear power industry were used by LP&L spokesmen during press briefings without appropriate explanations of their meaning. c Recommendation: Either use more easily understood terminology or li make sure the spokespersons take the time to explain / interpret the ,.- meaning of the terminology. It must be assumed that, in the real rf world, not every member of the press or of the general population . i. understands all of the technical terminology used by the nuclear y r' power industry. .; (. ._
Description:
Once, there appeared to be a lack of agreement among , P the top echelon of the ENC staff as to whether or not the offsite ' , i-technical advisor should have a role in the preparation of news ; releases. In the real world, such a disconcerting problem could p possibly effect the credibility of the emergency news operation. y.s (; Recommendation: Determine in advance exactly who or what ( Individuals will be responsible for writing the news releases and hold y
.j- that person or persons accountable for this task. ?,1 J

Description:
Prior to the actual request for medical assistance, the , c supporting (contract) hospital had not been notified of a developing , emergency at the plant. Therefore, they were unable to initiate , f- precautionary and preparatory steps to respond if assistance was ; d requested. , Recommendatiom Ensure that emergency procedures include p 4 [. precautionary notification of supporting medical facilities to assure more rapid response to possible requests for assistance. f Ip , ( ( - J t: 1, . , . - - __ ..,. .e .,_7,., . , , , . . ,,,, ,, , , , , _

p- {.; 3 TRACKING SCHEDULE FOR STATE / LOCAL ACTIONS TO CORRECT [r DEFICIENCIES AND AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION , GT t' Section 2 of this exercise report has provided a listing of all observed g 3 p Deficiencies and Areas Requiring Corrective Action, with recommendations noted by i Federal evaluators. The evaluations were based on the applicable planning standards and l: evaluation criteria set forth in Section II of NUREG-0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1 p (November 1980), and the exercise objectives. . Table 1 provides a consolidated summary of all Deficiencies and Areas Requiring
,r- Corrective Actions, by jurisdiction, noted by the Federal evaluators, together with carry-over entries (if any) from previous REP exercises. As noted, there were no Deficiencies found in this Waterford 3 off-site radiological emergency response preparedness exercise. The Table 1 chart has been designed so that space has been allowed to add: (1) ; the proposed corective actions that will be undertaken and (2) the projected and actual dates of completion of these actions. -
I The FEMA Region VI Director is responsible for certifying to the FEMA
' Associate Director, State and Local Programs and Support, Washington, D.C., that any 'T Deficiencies and Areas Requiring Corrective Action noted in the exercise will be ; ; corrected and that such corrections will also be incorporated into the emergency (
l response plans as appropriate. (.
"~
FEMA Region VI may request that the State of Loulslans and local jurisdictions , C participating in the Waterford 3 exercise submit measures that they will take or intend to take to correct those problems identified by the Federal evaluators. If corrective actions are necessary, FEMA Region VI will request that a detailed plan, including dates , c of completion for schedule or implementing remedial actions, be provided if remedial ., actions cannot be instituted immediately. .. l N : e e g., 7, . i 11
