[CR FROM:
Assistant Associate Director Office of Natural and Technological Hazards Programs i
SUBJECT:
Exercise Report of the November 19, 1986, Exercise of the Ohio Offsite Radiological Ennryency Preparedness Plans for the Beaver Valley Power Station.
%is is to transmit a copy of the Exercise Report of the Noventer 19, 1986, joint exercise of the offsite radiolcgical emergency preparedness plans i
for the Beaver Valley Power Station, located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania (PA), ard approximately twenty five miles northwest of Pittsburgh, PA.
%is was a joint exercise for the State of Ohio (full q
participation), Colunbiana County (full), and Duquesne Power and Light (full). We county is inpacted by the Beaver Valley plume exposure 10-mile Energency Planning Zone (EPZ). The report dated April 21, 1987, was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region V.
l In the November 19, 1986, exercise there were three areas requiring cor-rective action (ARCA) observed. A copy of this report was forwarded to the State of Ohio. On March 18, 1987, the State of Ohio responded with a schedule of corrective actions which was reviewed and approved by FEMA Regiori V as indicated in the attached letter to the State dated April 21, 1987. Two of the ARCA's observed as a result of State exercise
]
activity were corrected at the Davis Besse exercise conducted March 31, 1987. We third ARCA observed as result of Columbiana County exercise activity will be tested at the next biennial exercise for Beaver Valley.
i Based on the results of the exercise activity described in this memoran-dum it is FEMA's view that there is reasonable assurance that offsite preparedness is adequate to protect the public health and safety in the Ohio portion of the Beaver Valley emergency planning zone.
The exercise also revealed a plan ecuponent which still needs to be resolved. W e State of Ohio has failed to finalize and approve draft 1
implementation procedures for the use of potassium iodide (KI) ty

emergency workers and institutionalized individuals. In contrast to its i
previous M policy, the State decided in August 22, 1985 to provide for the procurement, storage, and distribut.iori of E for the use of these two groups.
In the November 19, 1986, exercise both the State and the County had objectives to dettonstrate the ability of offsite authorities to supply and administer M, once the decision had been nade to do so.
- However, these objectivcs were not demonstrated because the scenario did not require the supply and takim of M.
Although not designated as such in the report, FD4A considers failure to denonstrate these objectives as ARCA's. The State of Ohio has agreed to finalize draft policies and procedures for the use of E by emergency workers and institutional population in order to successfully demonstrate these objectives by May 4,1988, the date of the scheduled full participation offsite exercise for t.he Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Robert S. Wilkerson at 646-2860.

Dear Mr. Weaver:
Enclosed are the State's and Columbiana County's responses to the areas l
requiring corrective actions identified in the draft exercise report for the Beaver Valley Power Station exercise conducted November 19, 1986. As noted in the State's response, both of the areas requiring corrective actions will I
be demonstrated during the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station exercise on i
March 31, 1987. The County's corrective action was identified during after-exercise critiques with participants.
It will be demonstrated during the next evaluated exercise for the Beaver Valley Power Station in October of 1988.
l If you have any questions concerning our comments, please do not hesitate l
to contact Larry Grove of my staff at (614) 889-7173.
Thank you for your i
time in this matter.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
l The purpose of the Executive Sunnary is to provide an overview of the j
findings for the offsite evaluation of the State of Ohio and Colunbiana j
}
County during the Novenber 19, 1986 full participation exercise.at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant. This evaluation is a consensus of the eleven i
Federal evaluators 'who nade up the evaluation for the Federal Energency Managenent Agency (FEMA).
I Issues identified in this report will be identified into one of the l
following catagories:
Deficiency-l If this event happened or failed to happen during a real energency public health and safety would have been affected.
Area Requiring Corrective Action:
f The event observed during the exercise would not affect public health and safety if it had occurred during a real energency. The issue is l
[
serious enough, though, for FEMA to require a schedule of corrective l
action.
Areas Reconnended for Inprovenen' l
l The event observed during the exercise would not affect public health and safety if it h'ad occurred during a real energency. The issue is brought'to the attention of State or local governnent as a reconnendation to inprove plans and operations. No schedule of corrective actions are required by FEMA.
[
The exercise participants neeting to discuss the prelininary results of the exercise with players fron the State of Ohio, Colunblana County, and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant was conducted Friday, Novenber 21, 1986 at 2:00 P.M. at the Colunbiana County Joint Vocational School "B" Conplex, 9364 State Route 45 in Lisbon, Ohio. The Public and Media critique was at 4:00 P.M. Novenber 21, 1986 in the sane facility. During both neetings the Exercise Director noted that FEMA Region V realizes the extent of effort that goes into preparing for an evaluated exercise. Both paid and Voluntary State and local staff devote trenendous anount of effort in preparation.
The FEMA Evaluation tean noted and appreciated the positive,"can do" attitude denonstrated by both state and local players during the exercise.
State of Ohio The State of Ohio selected twenty e (21) objectives to be denonstrated of which nineteen (19) were fully der trated and two (2) were partially den ons trated. Two (2) areas were antified that require corrective action l
(field nonitoring tean and Joint 121ic Infornation Center) and ten (10)
I areas rec.nended for inprovenent h e identified.

~
f he Ohio' Disaster Services Agency (DSA) staff was nobilized at the " Alert" l
classification for the purpose of setting up the State atergency Operations Center - (EOC) in Worthington, Ohio. The balance of the State agencies (EOC staf f) were activated at the " Site Area Energency" classification.
The State of Ohio has the capability to naintain staffing around the clock over'an extended period of tine. The State of Ohio staff at the EOC coordinated their actions with each other and nade necessary decisions. The EOC in Worthington, Ohio has received Federal funds fron FEMA and it neets i
all Federal requirenents.
State Staff at the~ EOC in Worthington, Ohio denonstrated it's ability to connunicate with State field organizations, Colunblana County, the contingous States of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the Joint Public Infornation Center (JPIC), the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant and FEMA Region V.
Telephone was the prinary connunication link with radio as a back-up.
The State EDC staff at 2135 took pronpt action to inforn Colunbiana County to activate the pronpt alert and notification systen when events at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant required this activation. Coordination between the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant's staff at 'their Energency Operations Facility, (EDF), the State of Ohio staff, and Colunbiana County was tinely j
and efficient. The State of Ohio coordinated the sounding of the outdcor siren systen within Ohio with the States of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Colunblana County coordinated the activation of outdoor sirens in Colunblana County with Beaver County, Pennsylvania and Hancock County, West Virginia.
te fif teen (15) ninutes criteria set forth in NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1 was net.
At tines, because of an overtaxed telephone systen the State staff at the JPIC was unable to connunicate with their State EOC counterparts without extensive delays. Also the tineliness of sone nedia releases was adversely l
affected due to a slow telecopier nachine. FEMA Region V reconnends the State explore the possibility of installing open (hot) line telephone links or other inproved connunications between the JPIC, the State EOC, the Coluabiana' County EOC and the State representative at the Beaver Valley
'l Nuclear Plant's EOF. FEMA Region V further reconnends the State of.0hio l
also explore the possibility of having a high speed telecopier installed at-1 the JPIC.
The State plan provides for the activation of the JPIC at the " Site Area
. Energency" accident classification. Because of travel tine to Alequippa, Pennsylvania the State plan also provides for a cadre, including the State Public Infornation Officer, to be dispatched to the JPIC at the " Alert" energency classification level. For this exercise the State Staff of two infornation officers and two support personnel were prepositioned with the l
approval of FEMA Region V.
The Duquesne. Light' Conpany, Western District Headquarters at Alequippa, l
Pennsylvania served as the JPIC. ' is facility provided working space for the utility and governnental staff i the nedia representatives who visited i
the JPIC. This facility is within.an (10) n fles of the Beaver Valley 3
Nuclear Plant. The' State of Penns ;vania has a policy of evacuating ten (10) nfles aro&d a nuclear plant in t.
' event of an accident. Because this l
facility is within ten (10) niles the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant FEMA l
Region V rnonnends a location ou le the ten nile EPZ but still in the local area be selected for the JP This reconnendation needs to be j
coordinated with FD4A Region III.

Briefings were heldluting the course of the exercise and written news releases were prepared and distributed to the nedia at the JPIC. The Federal evaluator at the JPIC noted that one of the releases was inconplete and anothsr was not released in a tinely nanner. Another observation of the Federal evaluator was the State of Ohio spokesperson at the JPIC was not N
able to anser technical questions raised by the nodia. Consequently, an area reconnended for inprovenent is the State of Ohio consider providing a technical spokesperson at the JPIC to support the spokesperson fron the Ohio DSA. An Area Requiring Corrective Action is the State of Ohio should assure
[
the conpleteneas and tineliness of all written releases. Although runor control is not a function of the JPIC, State Staff at the JPIC did release the runor control telephone nunbers during the oral briefings and in the written news releases.
The Ohio dose assessnent section was staffed by Ohio DSA, Odo Environnental Protection Agency, and Ohio Radiological Health. The Ohio DSA is responsible for dose projections and calculations. Radiological Health is in, charge of dose assessnent and directs protective actions. The Ohio Ennvironnental Protection Agency directs the field non!toring teans.
Dose calculations are doae by conputer with sone verification by Texas Instrunents Progranable Calculators. Tables and instructions are available for hand backup.
Radiological health connunications are by connercial telephone; a dedicated telephone to three (3) counties, three (3) states, the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant and the Pennsylvania Radiation Protection Bureau. Hard copy naterial is via the Chic DSA connunications systen. The dedicated telephone line was out of service a nunber of tines when too nany parties were on the line.
The Ohio Environnental Protection Agency connunications is through the Ohio DSA connunications systen. There was sone confusion in directing the nonitoring teans due to both tine lag in the systen and errors nade on transnitting the hard copy nessages. FEMA Region V reconnends the State of Ohio analyze the dedicated phone systen and nake the necessary inprevenents to elininate the problen when too nany parties are on the line.
The radiological field aonitoring teans were nobilized and pronptly deployed to their field staticas. Their assigned vehicles wera outfitted for night driving. Night tine reflective vests were present and prepackaged equipnent was inventoried. However, acid arpules and K1 were not present. FD4A Region V reconnends all equipnent listed on the inventory be present. The available survey neters had current calibration dates and were adequate for their tasks.
j J
'Ibe capabilities of the radiological field nonitoring teans have been evaluated by EEMA Region V in ten radiological energency preparedness exercises since 1982. One Federal evaluator fron the U.S. Environnental d
Protection Agency was assigned to one of the three radiological field teans deployed in this exercise. The tean acconpanied 5/ this Federal evaluator was not required by staf f at the EOC to denonstrate sanple collection. An area requiring corrective action is that future scenerlos shall require all field teans to denonstrate their capabilities to collect sanples.

Tine delays were observed in adjusting instrunent probe controls for nultiple probes for single instrunent. FEMA Region V reconnends the State of Ohio evaluate whether or not single probes should be used in the field to avoid tine delays caused by control adjustnents. Connunications equipnent with the radiological field teans functioned satisfactory.
Staff were pronptly nobilized and the EOF activated following an " Alert" Notification. Twenty-four hour staffin'g capabilities were denonstrated by a shift-change, double staffing or the presentation of a roster of replacenent staff.
The DOF.. facility and posted displays were well suited to the support of the energency operations.
Prinary and secondary connunications systens were in place and appropriate for the participating organizations and field personnel. The activities of the Environnental Assessnent and Dose Projections Tean were sufficient to neet the objective concerning dose projections fron existing plant conditions and field data.
Protective action reconnendations -are prinarily a state responsibility. Utility and State nanagers denonstrated their ability to nake decisions-concerning issuing KI to their energency workers and deternined that KI was not appropriate under the conditions of the scenario.
Due to the tining of tne exercise, the denonstrat'on of the ability to estinate total population exposure was not conpleted, although the software for conpleting this task was reported to be in place. This was done at the State ECC by the Ohio Dose Assessnent Tean.
EOF nanagers briefed all organizations including the staff responsible for nedia releases.
Public infornation staff pronptly released infornation to the JPIC as well as coordinated the infornation available to their runor control-staff.
An area suggested for inprovenent is that the DOF briefings would be inproved. if they included nore infornation on the energency re'sponse activities being inglenented by the participating States.
The Ohio Radiological Laboratory has excellent equipnent.
It is well nalntained and is operated by checking against a standard each day and af ter l
four to ten sanples are analyzed.. The laboratory staff consists of a laboratory supervisor and two chenists. The staff is well trained. Their work-'is validated not only for each piece of equipnent, but for each new type of sanple. Also cn a nunber of analysis a sanple is analyzed by two different nethods within a 15-20% nargin.
Objectives 8 and 9 (appropriate equipnent and procedures) were acconplished by a talk than with the lab supervisor on each piece of equipnent and looking at the bound log books of routine analysis acconplished.
Inplenentation of ingestion pathway protective actions was denonstrated when the State of Ohio nade the following reconnendations:
1.
evacuation within 10 niles of the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant.
Tine of the evacuation was estinated to take 31/2 hours.
2.
dairy cattle put under co' c, fed stored feed and undergrcund water.
3
3.
four(4) nilk processing plants were instructed to not pick up nilk until nine(9) grade A and thirty-five(35) grade B dairy farns were sanpled and analyzed.
4.
four(4) public water supply intake punps to be shut down.
5.
a call list was used to notify state agencies and tran'sportation j
conpanies.
i l
-%e State Departnent of Health Milk Sanpling Tean conposed of two representatives, was knowledgable and experienced. 'Ihey denonstrated professional sanpling techniques. The tean was equipped for rapid
~
deploynent with a standardized kit containing all necessary supplies for sanple collection. They were faniliar with all dairy farns in the area.
l There are two reconnendations for inprovenent:
1.
that the tean use a vehicle equipped with a two way radio to l
facilitate rapid connunications.
2-that tean nenbers be provided with personal dosineters such as the CDV 742 and 730, including forns for periodic posting of any contanination levels. These would be in addition to and provide nore tinely readings than TLD's which should also be worn with the self reading dosineters._
q In sunnary, the Milk Sanpling Tean denostrated efficient and effective sanpling collection techniques.
Although the scenairo was not designed to exercise recovery and ' reentry the State of Ohio recognized the need for continued nonitoring and sanple collection data as a basis for future recovery and reentry reconnendations and decisions.
1 Colunbiana County Colunblana Nunty selected twenty two (22) objectives to be denonstrated of which eighteen (18) were fully denonstrated, three (3) were partially denonstrated, and one (1) was not denonstrated. One area was identified as an area requiring corrective action and six reconnendations for inprovenent wero identified.
Colunblana County denonstrated their ability to nobilize their energency staff.and to activate their EOC pronptly. Sone activities such as evacuation of a risk school, anbulance and hospital facilities for handling contaninated individuals were denonstrated during daylight hours prior to the exercise. The EOC was staffed "real tine" beginning with the " Alert" energency action level at 1826.
It was fully staffed a 1948.
24-hour staffing capability was evidenced.
The DSA Coordinator provided leadership for the staff as they perforned the ;
various energency activities. An e
Executive Staff conposed of two Cor.q Connissioners and the Sheriff established authority and direction for the DSA Coordinator and actively
)
participated in the exercise. The?' carefully reviewed the various incidents of the energency and collectively irrived at decisive actions to be taken by the energency response organizatic
ne EOC facility is conposed of several roons which provides separate areas for operations, the nessage center, the Executive Staff, the DSA Coordinator, the RDO and connunications. The facility has all the basic anenities necessary to support the energency staff, including all required naps and charts.
The staff denonstrated capability to connunicate with all required locations. Sone inprovenent in the hard-copy transaission systen between the EOC and the JPIC is reconnended. At 2125, the County received notice of the " General Energency" EAL and the protective action reconnendation for evacuation. Sounding of the sirens was coordinated with other governnental jurisdictions and sinulated at 213L This is within the standard established by FEMA guidelines. Concurrent with sounding the sirens, a nessage was prepared and sinulated over the local energency broadcast systen (EBS) station.
The Calcutta Fire Departnent effectively accouplished route verification.
The Calcutta Fire Departnent was well trained and knowledgable in route alerting and verification procedures. A fire vehicle equipped with a loud speaker was deployed along an outlying area to inforn residents. This was acconplished in a tinely and professional nanner. %e firefighters and vehicle reported afterward to the Glennoor Fire Departnent for i
decontanination. There were no previous deficiencies for this l
decontanination center.

The Glennoor Fire Departnent denonstrated effective procedures for decontanination of energency workers and vehicles. Personnel were well J
trained and had all necessary supplies and equipnent to acconplish the i
objective.
1 To evaluate the ' ability of Colunbiana County to evacuate schools the Federal evaluator interviewed staff at the school denonstrations at the Westgate Elenentary School and the East Liverpool School Adninistration Building. A plan was in place end procedures pronptly inplinented.
School activities were supported by the of forts of the school bus garage.
However, the radiological nonitoring and exposure control for bus drivers needs inprovenent. An area reconnended for inprovenent is additional training is needed for bus drivers and supervisory staff on the use of personal dosinetry, dose linits and decontaination.
Sinulated evacuation was denonstrated through discussions and decision j
naking in the EOC. Traffic and access control points were established and nothods for dealing with inpedinents 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 narked on the evacuation route nap as a visual aid for the staff.
Staff of the Salen High School Reception and Congregate Care Center denonstrated procedures for registration and radiological nonitoring of evacuees; and the adequacy of facilities for nass care of evacuees. The Center's denonstration of the objec-ives were effectively achieved through the cooperation of the Salen Fire Departnent; the Anerican Red Cross; County Socal Services; the Colunblana County Anateur Radio Club and a mlunteer evacuee fron the Ladies Auxilliary of the Winona-Butler Fire Departnent.
l However, not all agencies denonstrated 24-hour staffing capability.

Sunnary of Scenario The Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant radiological energency preparedness exercise scenario, developed by writers fron the utility, the State of Ohio, and Colunbiana County, took into consideration weaknesses identified in past exercises in order to develop a scenario that would allow denonstration of past exercise weaknesses as well as allow denonstration of exercise objectives selected by the State of Ohio and Colunblana County.
The State of Ohio on Septenber 30, 1986 sub itted for FEMA Region V approval the off hours scenario for the Novenber 19, 1986 full participation, joint Beaver Valley exercise. FEMA Region V, according to FD% HQ requirenents, subitted this scenario for review to the Idaho Nuclear Engineering Laboratory (INEL) on October 17, 1986. The written review perforned by Westinghouse Idaho Nuclear Conpany Incorporated was provided to FEMA Region V on October 31, 1986.
FEMA Region V, on October 31, 1986, datafaxed the written review to the State of Ohio since the INEL review did raise sone concerns regarding offsite radiological conditions, site boundary thyroid dose, possible scenario weaknesses driving ingestion pathway objectives, and connents regarding released iodine.
The written INEL review was fornally sutnitted to the State of Ohio on Novenber 3,1986 for their review and possible corrective action. On Novenber 4,1986 the Ohio Disaster Services Agency sutnitted to FEMA Region V their written connents concerning the scenario review developed by the INEL. The State of Ohio in their Novenber 4,1986 correspondence, in sone instances, explained how the scenario was suppose to work and in other instances disagreed with the INEL review connents.
FEMA Region V also learned fron FEMA Region III that the State of Pennsylvania just a few weeks prior to the Beaver Valley exercise objected to the off-hours aspects of the exercise. FD% Region III called a neeting
.0ctober 17, 1986 with all exercise participants in the Pittsburg,-
Pennsylvania airport to resolve the State of Pennsylvania issue. The result of the neeting was that the State of Pennsylvania decided to exercise out of sequence with the States of Ohio and West Virginia. Beaver County, Pennsylvania decided to exercise jointly with the States of Ohio and West Virginia and the Counties of Colunbiana, Ohio and Hancock, West Virginia as called for in the excrcise scenario. The State of Fennsylvania issue should be discussed further in the FEMA Region III exercise report.
The offsite sequence of events portion of the Beaver Valley exercise scenario is Attachnent II of this exercise report.

- 1. - State of Ohio Activation and Staffing The Novenber 19, 1986 full participation exercise was conducteci off hours.
The State of Ohio Energency operations Center (EOC) Staff was nobilized and activated in real tine according to the State plan. The Ohio Disaster Services Agency (ODSA) EOC Staff was called to the IOC at the " Alert" J
energency classification level. A fan out call list is used to alert the staff and other State agency representatives assigned to the State EOC. The
" Alert" energency classification was received by ODSA at 1827 and verified at 1832.
The " Site Area B ergency" classification was received at 2030.
It was at the " Site Area Energency" classification that the State agencies were notified to have their representatives report to the State EOC. The EOC was t
coupletely staffed by 2130. Agencies represented in the State EOC were the Ohio Departnent of Transportation, Natural Resources, Hunan Services, Highway Safety, Health, Environnental Protection Agency, State Police, Agriculture, Disaster Services Agency, Adjutant General, Public Utilities, and the Anerican Red Cross.
- A roster was available with the nanes of individual available for EOC staffing twentyfour hours per day over an extended perica of tine. The prinary connunications between the State EOC and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant is a dedicated telephone with radio as the back up systen. This dedicated telephone is contin'uously nonitored.
Ehergency Operations Managenent An individual fron the ODSA was in charge of the operations of the State EOC. The EOC Staff perforned their duties in a conpetent nanner.
Periodic briefings were conducted with the EOC Staff participating when appropriate.
%e EOC Staff was also involved in the decision naking process. The State plan and standard operating procedures were available and used. Necessary nessage logs were naintained by agency and the EOC nessage controller.
Messages were prepared in nultiple copies and distributed to the EOC Staff in an appropriate and efficient nanner. Access to the EOC was controlled by Military Police fron the Ohio National Guard.
We EOC Staff was notified of the " Alert" energency classification at 1827,
" Site Area" energency classification at 2030 and the " General Energency" classification at 2123. Governor Celeste declared a " State of Energency" and issued an evacuation order at 2123. The State of Ohio requested Colunblana County to coordinate with Beaver County, Pennsylvania and Hancock County, West Virginia to deternine the tine the Pronpt Alert and Notification Systen and the Ehergency Broadcast Systen (EBS) should be activated.

i The field tean standard operat lons procedures contained a list of equipnent and the checklist reflected the equipnent inventory with the exception of acid anpules for sanple preservation and KI thyroid blocking tablets.
Area Reconnended For Inprovenent All equipnent listed on the inventory checklist should be present during exercises.
(NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1 criteria itens H.lo, J.10e and J.10f) l The nonitoring tean vehicle was large enough for the tean and its t
equipn ent. The vehicle was suitable for the expected terrain and weather conditions. Equipnent included a G-M Counter with a range of 0.05-100 MR/hr and an instrunent with probes capable of neasuring alpha and beta. Also included was single channel sodiun iodide Scintillation Counter with switchable channels which will cover up to 5000 MRAr.
Air sanpling equipnent included a calibrated air pung to draw air sanples through charcoal cartridges for air sanpling and silver zeolite cartridges l
for lodine neasurenent. The noter on the air punp was powered by a portable l
gasoline engine driven alternator. The tean had sanpling equipnent such as i
scoops, plastic collection bags, plastic containers for carrying liquid l
sanples and adequate supplies of I.D. labels, seeling tape, and writing naterials to keep proper records of the sanples. All the nonitoring instrunents were calibrated within the last two nonths.
Reflective vests were on hand to use at night in areas of heavy traffic and revolving caution lights that use nagnetic nountings for holding on the vehicle roof, and powered through the cigarette lighter recepticle sre on order.
They are to be connended for this extra equipnent for night safety protection.
The nonitoring tsan equipnent was properly set up with batteries checks and background readings taken. Written SOP's for set up were not observed. The personnel were faniliar enough with the equipnent that the procedures seened
(
to be routine.
I f
The field nonitoring tean is suppose to collect both ground and air san ples. It took an air sanple with a procedure adequate to detect iodine I
concentrations as low as 10-7 uci/ces (not susceptable to interference for noble gas background).' The field nonitoring tean was able to follow the nap and found their assigned nonitoring points without difficulty. The scenario did not call for or at least the tean evaluated did experience a high enough level to warrant taking an air sanple. They denonstrated their ability to I
take one although the need was not evident in the scenario. Only one location was assigned, one or nore other locations would have given a broader indication of their abilities.
Area Requiring Corrective Action The capability of the radiological field nonitoring tean to collect sanples could-not be evaluated by the Federal evaluator since the State EOC did not require this tean to collect sanples as was required by the other two field nonitoring teans. Future scenaries shall require all deployed field nonitoring teans to denonstrate th:ir capabilities to collect sanples.

In setting up the equipnent, the Eberline PRS-7 was used for nore than the one probe.. This necessitated the taking of the unit out of the case and l
several switches being changed and nunerous parts being turned to a i
predeternined position, which took several ninutes tine for each one.
l Area Reconnended For Inprovenent The State of Ohio should evaluate if the radiological nonitoring teans should use single probes in the field to avoid tine delays rather than continue using the Eberline PRS-7 with nore than one probe.
In the opinion of the evaluator the current procedure of using nultiple probes is susceptable to error.
He feels an inprovenent is to have one probe dedicated to the Eberline PRS-7 and another instrunent for each other probe so that no changes would have to be nade.
(NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1 criteria iten I.8)
Radiological Health Cc'inunication fron the State EOC are by connercial telephone; a dedicated telephone to Colunbiana County, Ohio, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, Hancock County, West Virginia, the States of Pennsylvania EOC and the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection, the State of West Virginia, and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant; and hard copy (datafax, i
teletype) via the ODSA. The dedicated telephone line was out of service a nunber of tines.

No connunication problens were encountered between the State of Ohio radiological field nonitoring teans and the State EOC in Worthington,' Chio.
The nonitoring teans had the following protective equipnent: Anti-contanination suits, boots, gloves, and respirators. Monitoring tean nenbers did not have KI.
Tean nenbers did have low, nid, and high range self reading dosineters, TLDs and dosineter chargers. The tean nenbers read their dosineters several tines during the exercise and they knew their naxinun dose allowed without authorization (25 REM) and what to do iF they received an excess dose. They were also aware of decontanination procedures and where to go for decontanination.
During this exercise the Ohio Departnent of Health denonstrated the capabilities of one (1) nilk sanpling tean. The State of Ohio plan calls for j
the Ohio Departnent of Health in Coltribus, Ohio to notify one of the four (4) regional offices in the State. Each regional office in the State has personnel available for nilk sanpling resulting fron-a radiological energency. These personnel can be contacted on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis. For this 1

The Ohio Departnent of Health Radiological Laboratory was evaluated the l
afternoon before the actual exercise. This is the second tine this laboratory has been evaluated during the past six years. The laboratory has good instrunentation, capable, well trained staff. The work of three ladies were observed by the Federal evaluator. Each person has their personnal copy of the procedures nanual covering all laboratory operations and a nanufactures nanual is available for each instrunent. The laboratory is well equipped with standard laboratory supplies, scales, hoods, etc.
Each sanple of water, earth, vegetation, nilk, etc. is logged in a bound book on receipt. Also a sanple and laboratory data sheet goes into the i
laboratory with the sanple. When a sanple has been analyzed the analysis data is written in the bound log books on the data sheet.
This is an operational laboratory and routinely analyzes sanples collected I
across the State of Ohio on a daily basis. The log book indicates a lot of work is done by the laboratory throughout the year. As indicated above, the laboratory is equipped for detailed analysis of low levels of radio isotopes and can handle about 20 sanples per day with a staff of three people. The denonstra'clon consisted of a walk wough the laborator by the laboratory l
supervisor who talked through sanp;es being analyzed that day by the l
laboratory staff. The laboratory is designed for long range, low level I
hazards. Prinary equipnent observ=d in the laboratory consisted of the following:.

Staffing of the Beaver Valley Energency Operations Facility- (EOF) began when the " Alert" notification at 1818 and activation was conpleted at 1932.
j Twelve of the thirteen organizations designated in the utility plan i
participated. The Pennsylvania Energency Managenent Agency (PEMA) was not I
represented in the EOF. The function of PEMA were carried out by the Beaver County hergency Managenent Agency who also represented itself.
The Staff notification systen has twenty four (24) capability.
It incorporates beepers and taped nessages. This systen is nanaged by the utility alarn station and is autonatically activated at an " Alert" energency classification. The EOF activation nay take place at this level or following a " Site Area h ergency" classification.
I During the exercise, a partial shift change was denonstrated by the utility while other organizations (State and Local) double staffed or presented a roster. All participants denonstrated a high degree of professionalisa.
The Beaver Valley EOF is located in an energency response building at the plant site. The facility had adequate space and equipnent for the ' staff at the EOF. Appropriate naps and graphics were posted and accessible to all personnel.
The prinary connunications systen interlinking the EDF with the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia and the three Counties (Beaver, Colunblana, and Hancock) is the connercial telephone. Secondary (backup) systens include the utility radio and the teleccanunications for nedia personnel. A dedicated telephone systen is also available.
It is reserved for the transnittal of infornation on protective action. Conferencing is available on the prinary systen and is an autenatic function when the dedicated line is activated.
The EOF Managers briefed the EOF S*?ff, including the EOF Staff responsible for nedia releases. The utility puolic infornation staff pronptly released infornation to the JPIC as well as coordinated infernation with the runor control staff.
Participation by % State of Ohio was linited.
Press releases prepared at the EOF for

(NUREG 0654/ FEMA REP-1, Revision 1, criteria iten C.2.a)
Runor control infornation fron the EOF was coordinated by the Beaver Valley Public Infornation Departnent. Separate nunbers are available within this departnent for inquiries fron the general public as well as the nedia.
Infornation that is authorized for release is consistent with the l
infornation contained in the press releases developed in the EF.
Runor control nunbers were provided to the nedia during JPIC briefings and in l
written nedia releases. The utility's general telephone nunber will be l
transferred ~to nore than 80 runnor control lines 'tich will be nanned by I
trained personnel.
Dose projections were developed by Utility Staff througbout the exercise.
The State of Ohio representative provided liaison between the Beaver Valley i
EOF and the dose assessnent tean in the State EOC. Calculations were j
conpiled by conputer with data derived fron current plant conditions and I
three field nonitoring teans. Calculations were pronptly nade and the field l
teans were directed to new locations to define the extent of the plune. The locations of the field nonitoring teans and the extent of the plune were posted on a large nap that was visable to EOF Staff.
Utility Staff in the EOF have a connunication and verification function.
i They provide infornation to their State counterparts for naking protective i
action reconnendations. This infornation includes plant conditions, weather, field observations, and evacuation tines.
Public Alerting and Instruction The Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant at 2120 notified the State of Ohio of the
" General" energency classification. The State of Ohio at 2123 notified Colunblana County to coordinste the activation of the pronpt alert and I
notification systen and the EBS. Both systens were utinately activated at 2135 which net the 15 ninute requirenent found in NUREG 0654/FNA REP-1, Revision 1.
The tining of public instruction was coordinated with the public alerting process, so that public alerting (e.g. sirens) was followed innediately by an instructional nessage (e.g. EBS). Additional public infornation was developed and released to the nedia at the JPIC.
'Ihe State Plan provides for the activation of the JPIC when the " Site Area Ehergency" classification is declared. Because of the extended travel tine to the Beaver Valley area the plan also provides for a response cadre, including a PIO, to be dispatched at the tine of the " Alert" energency classification declaration. For this exercise, the State JPIC staff of two l
infornation officers and two support personnel were prepositioned.
The Western District Headquarters of the Duquesne Light Cenpany located at Alequippa, Pennsylvania served as the Joint Public Infornation Center.
Working areas and facilities are provided for the governnental and utility staff and the nedia. The JPIC is within the ten nile EPZ.

The Center has direct radio and telephone connunications links with the utility. The County EOC also has sinilar connunications with the utility. The Sheriff's Dispatcher received the notification of the " Unusual Event" EP s 1720 and nade the required alerting calls, using a current call list, af ter verifying the call. At 1825 when the " Alert" occurred a different list, which included additional staff, was used and the EOC staff were requested to report to the EOC. Many of the staff nenbers had arrived at the DOC between 1900 and 1920. The EOC was fully staffed at 1948. A nornal shif t change occurred at the Sheriff's Dispatch Center.
24-hour staffing capability at the EX)C was denonstrated through presentation of a personnel roster, which reflects depth of assignnents for each EOC staff position.
Energency Operations Managenent The DSA Coordinator was in charge at the EOC, operating under authorities of the County Connission and the County Plan. The Coordinator conducted periodic briefings to keep the ECC' staff inforned and also had the staff brief hin on activities of their agencies.
He, in turn, would brief the Executive Staff, who were involved in the decision naking process, as required by the situation. As energency action levels (EAL's) changed, the staff referred to SOPS and checklists which were derived fron the County Plan, to ensure that all appropriate actions were taken. Several staff nenbers had copies of the County Plan for reference. Message center staff j
kept nessage logs, posted the status board, and distributed nessages rapidly. The EOC staff were notified by the plant of the " Alert" EAL at 1825 as of 1816; " Site Area Energency" EAL at 2029 as of 2022, and the "Ceneral Energency" at 2125. The State EOC notified the County that the Governor had declared a " State of Energency" at 2040. Care centers were activated coincidental with the " General Energency". Access to the EOC was controlled throughout the exercise.

Special Evacuation Problens During the day preceeding the exercise, procedures for school evacuation within the East Liverpool School District were denonstrated.
Following an
" alert" notification fron the EOC RADEF Officer, the District School Superintendent notified the six school principals in the District as well as the school bus supervisor. A student census was nade and bus needs detern ined. We bus supervisor identified the available drivers and put then on stand-by. These actions followed those specified in the school energency response plan. Af ter the " General Energency" was declared and an evacuation ordered, an evacuation bus was dispatched to the Westgate Elenentary School at the request of the Superintendent. Available buses were inadequate to evacuate students for all district schools.
Consequently, the Superintendent requested additional bus transportation fron the County Superintendent located at the EOC. %Is need would be net by buses available fron other county school districts.
Available connunications included the connercial telephone with back-up by runners and han radios. Han radios also provided the connunications link between the school bus convoys, schools and County EOC.
Radio operators were scheduled to follow the evacuation buses to the relocation center at the Colunblana County Vocational Technical School. Maps of the evacuation routes were available at each school and all bus drivers had attended in-service training courses on energency routes and operational procedures.
Exposure control equipnent for bus drivers included neduin and high range dosineters, TLD's, chargers and record keeping cards. A supply of KI was not available. A supply of equipnent was sufficient for nore than the twenty (20) drivers that would be anticipated.
The bus supervisor was responsible for the calibration and distribution of personal dosinetry.
However, this individual was not faniliar with the naxinun allowable dose and procedures for decontanination. Written procedures were not available for the drivers.
Area Reconnended For Inprovenent Additional training is reconnended for bus drivers and school supervisory staff on the use of personal dosinetry, dose linits, and decontanination.

The radiation levels projected by the scenario did not warrant the issuance nor adninistering of thyroid blocking agents. During the exercise the EOC staff were aware of the locations of nobility inpaired persons and had j
copies of current lists. The list included the nanes, addresses, telephone nunbers and special needs of the respective nobility-inpaired individuals.
Extracts of the lists were transnitted to various fire departnents and transportation services to provide assistance as needed. Because of the hours of the exercise, except for the denonstration just described, school activities were denonstrated through contact with the various School District Superintendents.
Medical Drill In a denonstration prior to and separate fron the exercise, a radiologically contaninated and injured evacuee was transported fron the East Palestine Fire Departnent to the Salen Connunity Hospital, Salen, Ohio via an East Palestine Fire Departnent Energency Anbulance crew. The evacuee had arrived at the staging area location of the fire departnent (which was not activated for denonstration during the exercise). The evacuee conpla-ined of an
" injured leg and soreness in areas of the body". The East Palestine Police / Fire Departnent dispatcher radioed for the anbulance crew, for the transport of the evacuee, and telephoned the Salen Connunity Hospital to advise that an injured contaninated individual would be enroute to the hospital via anbulance. The anbulance crew (three individuals) prepared the evacuee for transport to the hospital by use of an inflatable plastic leg splint, a backboard type back brace, neck and facial splints. 'Ihe crew provided the hospital infornation on the patient's vital signs by two-way radio while enroute i
The anbulance/ crew explai'ned that they would not be responsible for the radiological nonitoring of individuals arriving at the staging area and therefore they had no need for radiological nonitoring equipnent. The Federal observer did not observe nonitoring for potential contanination of the injured patient until her arrival at the hospital.
Area Reconnended For Inprovenent:
It is reconnended that anbulance crews be trained in radiological nonitoring and decontanination procedures to enable then to assist hospital and utility staff.

Assenbly Area Part of the exercise was to denonstrate adequacy of the procedures for radiological nonitoring of evacuees. Although the objective did not nention evacuee vehicles, the assenbly area at Kent State University was part of the field activities planned in the scenario. According to the Colunblana County plan (Section II - Part K and Section III - Part J) staff is assigned to the assenbly area to nonitor the vehicles of evacuees, to nark then as clean or contaninated, and to direct the drivers to a care center. At the 1
care center vehicles needing decontanination would be handled.
I Reception and Congregate Care
]
%e Salen High School Reception / Congregate Care Center is well outside the 10-nile EPZ of the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant. The Center is ideal for it's purpose, with sufficient anenities for the health and well-being of evacuees. Sleeping acconodations is nade through the Anerican Red Cross.
Foodstuffs already in the school's cafeteria will _ be prepared by school cafeteria staff for initial feeding of evacuees. Additi,onal foodstuffs will be purchased locally through existing agreenents between the County and Red l
Cross and/or Besver Valley. The Center includes equipnent to handle handicapped evacuees (i.e., wheelchair ranps, toilets, etc.).
Telephones 4
belonging to the school systen would be available for use. There are also connercial pay telephones at locations within the Center.
In addition to c
connercial telephones the Center can connunicate with local EOCs by two-way radio belonging to the County Sheriff's Departnent and/or the Colunblana j
. County Anateur Radio Club, which had units and representation at both i
locations during the exercise. The Center is also able to connunicate directly with the hospital, which also had representation fron the Colunbiana County Anateur Radio Club during the exercise.
We Reception / congregate Care Center at the Salen High School was staffed by representatives fron the Anerican Red Cross, Colunblana County Social Services, the Salen Fire Departnent, and the Colunblana County Anateur Radio Club. However, sone key staff positions were not staffed during the exercise (e.g. Nurses, Police Security, Mental Health). W e ability to staff the reception / congregate care center twenty four (24) hours per day over an extended period of tine was partially denonstrated.

i One (1) volunteer of the "Winona-Butler Fire Departaent's Ladies Auxillary" was processed through the nonitoring and decontanination center for den onstration. The three (3) nenber radiological nonitoring and decontanination tean explained each procedure for the processing of the evacuee through decontanination and back to the shelter for health and welfare needs by other organizations represented at the center. The procedures included the use of the geigher counter, with a nonitoring; decontanination and renonitoring as necessary; probe for the handling and storage of personal belongings, and the disposal of contaninated clothing.
According to the shelter nanager other shelter locations would be activated as necessary. School buses are available through the school systen for the transport of evacuees to other shelter locations.
Decontanination Center For Energency Workers Vehicles and Equipnent The Glennoor Fire Departnent denonstrated professional decontanination procedures.
It was obvious that personnel were well trained with appropriate equipnent. Written SOP's were available at the station.
Paper lined walkways led to a decontanination area where energency workers were surveyed, forns filled out and personal dosineters read.
If workers were contaninated both nale and fenale showers were available with soap and towels. Coveralls were available as fresh clothing. All contaninated articles including clothing, towels, shoes etc. were to be placed in plastic lined steel containers. Vehicles were extensively surveyed and washing equipnent was available. Overall the Glennoor Fire Departnent perforned in j
an excellent nanner and denonstrated clearly an ability to effectively I
operate a decontanination center.
Radiological Exposure Control A sufficent supply of both low and high range dosineters and TLD's was available at the EOC.
Dosineter chargers and record keeping cards were also available. The RDO briefed energency workers and the EOC staff on proper usage of the dosinetry.
He also announced the locations of the decontanination stations so the staff could inforn their energency workers.
Because the Negley Fire Departnent was not involved in this exercise, the Exercise Director obtained a copy of training rosters and exanined the newly installed shower required to correct a wakness noted during the previous exercise. The exercise situation did not requite the distribution or adninistration of KI.
The Deputy Sheriff that staffed the access control point was equipped with dosinetry and a TLD. He had a dose record card that he had nade an
{
appropriate entry on when he checked his dosineters. He knew the naxinun allowable dose procedures for reporting exposure.
Media Relations l
'Ihe plan provides for the activaticn of the EOC, including the Infornation J

The Western District Headquarters of the Duquesne Light Ccupany located at Alequippa, Pennsylvania serves as the Joint Infornation Center. Working areas and facilities are provided for the governnental and utility infornation staffs as well as the press.
The Infornation Center is within the ten nile EPZ. As a result of Pennsylvania policy of evacuation to ten niles in all directions regardless of wind direction the center was relocated (sinulated) to the corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh at about 1010 P.M.
This relocation was "conpleted" by 2300.
The infornation staff had connercial telephone capabilty to the EOC and other locations. Much tine was lost in redialing ntmbers, after finding the circuits busy or overloaded or excessive noise on the line.
Area Reconnended For Inprovenent It is reconnended Colunblana County explore ways to isprove the telephone systen used by their Public Infornation staff at the Joint Public Infornation Center. The Colunblana County Public Infernation staff at the Joint Public Infornation Center experienced delays in dialing out apparently due to an overtaxed telephone systen.
