Drill Report for December 2 and December 10, 1986 for LE.'0
- l i
Backaround As part of the quarterly Emergency Preparedness drill program, drills were conducted on December 2 and December 10, 1986 to practice the response of the Local Emergency Response Organization (LER0) to a simulated emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS).
The purpose of the drills was to exercise LERO's ability to implement the Offsite Radiological Emergency Response Plan Implementing Procedures (0 PIP's) to improve their ability to respond to an emergency, make appropriate recommendations to the public and implement those recommendations. All sections of LERO participated in the drills with the exception of the LERO Relocation Center and the Evacuee Reception Centers.
Tne facilities which did participate 1.icluded the Local Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the Emergency Worker Decontamination Facility (EWDF), Patchogue Staging Area (PSA), Port Jefferson Staging area (PJSA), Riverhead Staging Area (RSA), Family Tracking and the Emergency News Center (ENC). Only 1/2 of the field personnel were exercised during each of the two drills. All field workers performed their normal emergency duties with the exception of a few bus drivers who were involved in a make-up session'to familiarize them with bus yards and transfer points.
Emergency Preparedness Drill Scenario 8A Revistor. I was used for the December 2 drill and Scenario 7A Revision 1 for '.he December 10 arill.
Shift 1 participated in both drills. They were last drilled in the February 13, 1986 exercise.
The purpose of drilling Shift 1 on two consecutive weeks was to allow the participants to use the first week as a learning process to become familiar with the 1: test procedures and the second week to reinforce their knowledge gained during the first drill.
All LERO members were pre-staged, i.e. told to report to their work locations at preassigned time, rather than exerc Me the normal notification and call-out procedures.
This prov;ded the opportunity to brief LERO personnel on procedure changes and rc*.nforce earlier training on OPIP revisions.
Revision 8 to the Offsite Radiological Emergency Response Plan and Procedures was in effect at the time of the drills.
All persons were.
drilled to that revision.

5)acina Area Obiectives 9e 10 and 11 December 2:
Port Jefferson Transportation - Bus Dispatcher received message from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1110 for Miller Place Snopping Center to pre-stage and 1210 for Norwood Avenue for evacuation of all zones. 'The Bus Drivers were dispatched by 1130 for j
Miller Place and at 1210 for Norwood Avenue.
(Note: Norwood Avenue Bus Drivers were assigned and ready to be dispatched at 1200.
So, as soon as the order came in, they were dispatched.)
All were at the Transfer Points in time to support the evacuation.
Pre-staged Transfer Points were contacted at 1211 by the Staging Area and directed to begin dispatching of buses on their routes at 1300.
This fulfills the requirements of the procedures.
Curbside Pick-up was simulated for this drill and the controllers provided names of individuals-to the Transfer Point Coordinators at Hiller Place and Norwood Avenue. They were instructed to radio in these names between 1330 and 1430 (Refer to LER0 Messages Nos.
34-38). The radioing of the names was performed at 1411 for Norwood Avenue and 1416 for Miller Place.
Communication between the curbside Bus i
Drivers and Staging areas was established for curbside pickup and was adequate.
The Bus Dispatcher received message from EOC at 1509 to re-route buses due to fuel truck accident for Routes K5-6 and K4-5.
At 1510, the Bus Dispatcher contacted the Norwood Avenue Transfer Point to inform him of the re-routing.
He was informad that these routes were complete.
This shows good communications. - _ _ _ _ _
Evacuation Route Spotters - Lead Traffic Guides received message to dispatch Route Spotters at 1208. All Route Spotters were dispatched by 1225.
This time is adequate.
Route Spotter 1005 radioed in the fuel truck accident at 1405 (Refer to LERO Message No. 42).
The EOC contacted Route Spotter 1005 at 1414 to obtain further information and received it at 1415.
The EOC contacted the Route i
Spotter at 1430 to provide dosimetry protection to Fire Department and Oil Company personnel responding (simulated) to accident.
The EOC again contacted Route Spotter 1005 for update on accident at 1512.
As evidenced above, communications were.
established with Route Spotters and the EOC was able to provide directives.
These objectives were met for the Route Spotters.
Traffic Guides - The General Emergency declared at 1132. PAR of Evacuation of Zones A-S decided at 1149.
Traffic Guide posts to be manned sent to Port Jeffarson at 1206 and received at 1208.
Preassigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation (6) was dispatched at 1222.
Remaining Traffic Guides were dispatched by 1247.
The six preassigned Traffic Guides for a 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their posts as follows:
(Note that although 6 Traffic Guides are needed only 5 TCPS are required to be preassigned.
2 Traffic Guides report to TCP #5).
TCP #4 1244 1 Traffic Guide TCP #86 1243 1 Traffic Guide TCP #6 1258 1 Traffic Guide TCP #5 1257 2 Traffic Guides TCP #38 1246 1 Traffic Guide This time frame is less than adequate because only 3 of the 5 Traffic Control Points were manned within 1-hour of the time the EBS Message was aired (1155).
The inadequacy was not serious however, because the two remaining Traffic Control Points were manned within 63 minutes. Objective 11 was partially met for Port Jefferson.
Only 3 TCPs out of the 38 activated for this drill were unable to communicate with the Staging Area.
These were TCPs 74, 113 and 50.
Two of these radios (2100 used by TCP 74 and 1056 used by TCP 113) were used on December 10 and were operating well.
Radio 2111 (used by TCP 50) was brought to the attention of the Emergenc! Planning Group and the problem will bu cesolved by the next drills.
During re-routing for the fuel truck impediment (at 1502-1510) TCP 56 could not be reached via radio by either the EOC, Port Jefferson Staging Area, or by TCP 55.
Thesa Traffic Guides were needed to implement the re-routing plan.
Initial communication between the Port Jefferson Staging Area and TCP 56 was established at 1255 and TCP 56 radioed in at 1313 upon arrival at TCP. After interviewing a Traffic Guide at TCP 56, he informed me that he tried to reach the Staging Area to verify his re-routing responsibilities but the frequency was being used by others.
He eventually did get through to the Staging Area at approximately l
1320. At this time, he was told to
)
report to the EWDF.
During the time 1
that TCP 56 was unteachable by his radio, the Lead Traffic Guide used good
)
initiative by employing TCP 55 as an j
available means to contact TCP 56 l
directly.
TCP 56 was aware of his responsibilities and would have i
assisted in the re-routing scheme (if
{
time permitted) to ensure adequate j
! i
evacuation flow.
TCP 55 was contacted and given the appropriate instructions for re-routing.
The performance of these instructions by the Traffic Guides at TCP 55, however, were not observed as time did not allow for the performance.
Communications were established and maintained throughout the drill and the Staging Area and EOC were able to issue directives for re-routing. Objectives 9 and 10 were met by the Traffic Guides.
One of the 7 TCPs that the Port Jefferson Field Controller visited was not manned. This was TCP #40 and was visited by the Controller at 1335.
- 40 did not arrive until 1351.
This was because the Traffic Guide xssigned to TCP #40 was last to receive dosimetry and briefing. The lateness of dispatch for this and four other TCPs were discussed during the critique to emphasize to the Lead Traffic Guide the importance of making sure these posts are manned in a timely manner.
These problems did not recur in the December 10 drill.
Patchocue Transportation - Staging Area received message from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1055 for pre-stage of zones A-J and at 1207 for evacuation of all zones.
By 1145 the required General Population Bus Drivers were dispatched for pre-stage and by 1225 for the additional zones.
Special Population Bus Drivers were dispatched by 1110 for pre-stage. No additional Special Population Bus Drivers were dispatched for additional zones since no Bus Drivers were available because only 1/2 of the required field members were participating per the scenario.
All General Population Bus Drivers were at the Transfer Points in time to support the evacuation and all Special Population Bus Drivers returned to the Staging Area in time to receive their assignments to support the evacuation.
Special Population Bus Drivers were dispatched on their assignments at 1245.
I j 1
t a route is required.
Lead Traffic Guides will be encouraged to dispatch multiple Route Alert Drivers, when they are available, to expedite the Route Alerting Process.
Road Crews -
Lead Traffic Guides received message to dispatch Road Crews at 1155.
Road Crews were dispatched at 1200'.
This time is adequate.
Communications were established with the Road Crews by the EOC.
Road Crews from Patchogue were not needed for this drill's Traffic Impediments.
These objectives were met for the Road Crews.
Evacuation Route Spotters - Lead Traffic Guides received a message to dispatch Route Spotters at 1158.
Route Spotters were dispatched at 1205.
This time is excellent.
Communications were established with the Evacuation Route Spotters by the E0C.
Route Spotters from Patchogue were not needed for this drill's Traffic Impediments.
These objectives were met for the Evacuation Route Spotters.
Traffic Guides - The General Emergency was declared at 1132.
PARS of evacuation of zones A-S decided at 1149.
Traffic Guide posts to be manned sent to Patchogue at 1200.
Preassigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation (18 of the 21 required) were dispatched by 1218.
18 Traffic Guides were used since only 1/2 of the field personnel were invited per the scenario.
This did'not adversely affect the drill.
Reraaining Traffic Guides were dispatched by 1218 also.
The 18 preassigned Traffic Guides for 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their posts (13 posts; some posts required more than one TG) between 1230 and 1258.
(Note that the Traffic Guide for TCP 75 - one of the TCPs required for a 0-2 mile evacuation - was sent home because of illness.
He was not replaced since no other Traffic Guides were available at the Staging Area and it was not necessary to call someone out). This time frame is less than adequate because some Traffic Control Posts were not marined within 1-hour of the time the EBS Message was aired (1155). The inadequacy was not serious however, because the posts were manned within 63 minutes, objective 11 was partially met for Patchogue.
No controller was sent to observe the times of arrivals for the Traffic Guides since no Patchogue Traffic Guides were needed for this drill's Traffic Impediments per the scenario.
Communications were established and maintained for the Traffic Guides. All Traffic Guides reported in by radio of
-their arrival at their TCPs by 1258.
These objectives were met by the Traffic Guides.
Riverhead Transportation - Staging Area received message from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1115 for pre-stage of zones A-J and at 1200 for evacuation of all zones.
By 1119 all I
required Bus Drivers for pre-staging were dispatched and by 1235 for evacuation of remaining zones. All Bus
)
Drivers were at the Transfer Points in i
time to support the evacuation.
i _
contacts again at 1355. At 1356, Road
)
Crew 2002 informs EOC that the 3 cars I
are cleared but road still blocked by gravel truck. At 1435. EOC contacts Road Crew 2002 to ask if heavy wrecker arrived.
Road Crew 2002 indicated he i
will contact when it does.
Road Crew l
2002 contacts EOC at 1503 to inform accident has been cleared.
Communications and response by the Road Crei< were good. Objectives were met.
Evacuation Route Spotters - Lead Traffic Guides received message to j
dispatch Reute Spotters at 1155. All Route Spotters were. dispatched by 1205.
This time is excellent.'
Route Spotter 1007 contacts EOC to inform them of Traffic build-up on Route 25.
EOC contacts Route Spotter j
1007 at 1326 to proceed to the accident scene.
Route Spotter arrives at i
accident at 1329.
The EOC contacted Route Spotter 1007 at 1400 to travel South on Grumman Boulevard to inform residents of new Bus Pick-up location.
The Route Spotter observed (1007) moe frequent contact with the EOC l
(approximately every 15 minutes).
This j
is good use of the Route Spotters and demonstrated good communications.
Objectives were met for the Route Spotters.
T.raffic Guides - The General Emergency was declared at 1132.
PARS of Evacuation of Zones A-S decided at 1149.
Traffic Guide Posts to be manned sent to Riverhead at 1155.
Pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation (32 of the 36 required) were dispatched by 1222.
Note that TCPs 39, 34, 36 and 115 required for a 0-2 mile evacuation were going to be manned however, due to the requirements of the scenario, the Traffic Guides were reassigned to other l
l TCPs.
(Refer to LERO Message No.
26R).
Remaining Traffic Guides were also di spatched by 1222.
The 32 Pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their posts (26 posts, excluding the four TCPs mentioned above. Also more than one Traffic Guide required at some posts) by 1310.
This time frame is less than adequate because some Traffic Control Posts were not manned within 1-hour of the time the EBS Message was aired (1155). Objective 11 was partially met for Riverhead.
All Traffic Guides were able to establish communication with the Staging Area and radioed in upon their arrival at their TCP.
TCP 10 radioed in the Gravel Truck l
Accident to the Riverhead Staging Area at 1307.
He was given re-routing instructions from the EOC at 1328.
Procedures for re-routing were verbally demonstrated to the Riverhead Field Controller and were adequate.
The Traffic Guides at TCPs 13 and 14 were contacted at 1430 to determine traffic flow at their posts since they were near the Gravel Truck Accident.
The rasponse to the Gravel Truck traffic impediment was good.
Two of the 11 TCPs observed had no Traffic Guides present.
TCP 73 radioed in at 1240 that he was at the post but was not there at 1435 and TCP 15 radioed in at 1235 that he was at his post but was not there at 1440.
After interviewing the Controller and the Traffic Guides at those posts, it was determined that the Traffic Guides were there parked at a location where the
~
Field Controller could not see them (i.e., Traffic Guide for TCP 73 was parked in a driveway).
These objectives were met by the Traffic Guides..
It should be pointed out that later on in the drill, the EOC decided to extend the evacuation to include zones P and S.
Since only 1/2 of the field personnel were invited to this drill per the scenario, no additional personnel were available to respond to this extension.
The responses to this extension were therefore simulated.
December 10:
Port Jefferson Transportation - Staging Area received a messa*ge from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1025 for pre-staging of zones A-J K, L, H, N, 0, R and at 125B to evacua.te the above zones.
By 1115 all required Bus Drivers for pre-staging were dispatched.
No additional Bus Drivers were required to be dispatched for evacuation purposes. All Bus Drivers were at the Transfer Points in time to support the evacuation.
The Pre-staged Transfer Points were contacted at 1300 to inform when to begin the evacuation.
This is adequate per procedures.
Curbside pick-up was simulated for this drill and the controllers provided names of individuals to the Transfer Point Coordinators at Hiller Place and Norwood Avenues (Refer to LER0 Messages 42-46). Miller Place radioed in their curbside pick-ups at 1400 for Van F1, 1430 for Van F2 and 1450 for Van F3.
This was immediately transmitted to the Bus Coordinator at the EOC at 1410, 1440 and 1450 respectively and given to the Home Coordinator.
Norwood Avenue radioed in their Curbside pick-ups at 1315 for Van F4, Bus G and Van Q were not radioed in.
This information for Van F4 was immediately transmitted to the Bus Coordinator at the EOC at 1320 and given to the llome Coordinator.
Although Norwood Avenue did not radio l
in for Bus G and Van 0, this portion of the drill was simulated. The purpose of this portion was to check the communication links which were adequate.
Re-routing for-buses was not necessary.

Traffic Guides - The General Emergency was declared at 1202.
PARS of evacuation of zones A-J, K, L, H, N, 0, R made at 1248.
Traffic Guide Posts to be manned sent to Port Jefferson at 1258.
Pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation (6) were dispatched by 1314.
Remaining Traffic Guides were dispatched by 1345.
The six preassigned Traffic duides required for the 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their 5 posts (TCP 5 requires 2 Traffic Guides) by 1346. This time frame is adequate as it falls within 1-hour of the time the EBS Message was aired (1257). Objective 11 was met for Port Jefferson.
All Traffic Guides established communications with the Staging Area.
All TCPs observed by the Port Jefferson Field Controller had Traffic Guides at their posts when visited.
No re-routing was required for Port Jefferson Traffic Guides.
Patchoque Transportation - Staging Area received message from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1029 for Pre-stage of zones A-0, R and at 1257 to evacuate above zones. All Bus Drivers (Special and General Population) were dispatched by 1100 for pre-staging.
No additional Bus Drivers were required to be dispatched for evacuation purposes. All Bus Drivers were at their Transfer Points in time to support the evacuat. ion.
Pre-staged Special Population Bus Drivers returned to the Staging Area by 1120.
They were dispatched on their
{
assignments by 1300.
l.__ ______-__
No Route Spotters eere requested to respond to the traffic impediments.
Communications with the EOC was maintained by the Route Spotters.
These objectives were met for the Route Spotters.
Traffic Guides - The General Em rgency was declared at 1202.
PARS of evacuation of zones lu O, R made at 1250.
The Traffic Guide Posts to be manned sent to Patchogue at 1311.
Pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation (21) were dispatched by 1325.
Remaining Traffic Guides were dispatched by 1325 also.
The 21 pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their posts (13 posts; more than one Traffic Guide required at some posts) between 1324 and 1401 (TCP 77 did not arrive until 1447). Other than TCP 77, this time was adequate as they fall within 1-hour I
of the time the EBS Message was eived (1257). Objective 11 was partially met for Patchogue. The importance of l
arriving in a timely manner will be stressed to the Traffic Guide at TCP 77 at future training sessions and drills.
In addition, TCP 126 did not radio in their time of arrival.
The importance of transmitting arrival times will be stressed in future drills and training sessions.
The field controller did not observe the times of arrival of Traffic Guides due to the lateness of the evacuation order and his requirements per tht scenario, he observed TCP 64 only.
The Traffic Guide at TCP 64 radioed in
~
the Cesspool Truck Accident to tht Staging Area at 1353.
This information was relayed to the E0C at 1400.
Re-routing information was transmitted to TCPs 63 and 64 from the EOC at 1417.
This response time is adequate.
i i
Communications tere established and maintained for all Traffic Guides and all transmitted their arrival at their TCPs by 1447, except for TCP 176 mentioned earlier.
(1 1CP out of 23 TCPs manned).
These objer'ives were met by the Traffic Guides.
Riverhead Transportation - Bus Dispatcher received message from EOC to dispatch Bus Drivers at 1040 for pre-stage of zones A-0, R and at 1257 for evacuation of the above zones.
By 1116 all required Bus Drivers for pre-staging were dispatched. No additional Bus Drivers were required to be dispatched for evacuation purposes.
All Bus Drivers were at the Transfer Points in time to support the evacuation.
The pre-staged Transfer Points were contacted at 1257 to inform when to begin evacuation.
This is adequate per-procedures.
Curbside pick-up was simulated for this drill and the controllers provided names of individuals to the Transfer Point Coordinator at Shirley Hall (Refer to LER0 Message Nos. 42-46).
The names were radioed in to the Staging Area at 1400. This information was promptly relayed to the E00 at 1415.
This time frame is adequate.
The Brookhaven Substation Transfer Point Coordinator received a message from EOC at 1345 to re-route Bus Route J-l due to the Cement Truck traffic impediment.
This information was adequately relayed to the Bus Drhers.
This is good communications and response.
I At 1500, E0C contacts Road Crew 2004 for status.
Road Crew 2004 indicates clearing of accident will take another hour.
Communications with Road Crews were established and adequately maintained with the E0C with the exception of Road Crews 2001 and 2003.
However, Road Crew 2001 responded at 1339 to injest KI.
The non-communication of Road Crews 2001 and 2003 was brought to the attention of the Emergency Preparedness group and will be observed in future drills.
Evacuation Route Spotters - Lead Traffic Guides received message to dispatch Route Spotters at 1021 and were dispatched at 1025.
This time frame is excellent.
Route Spotter 1009 called in Cement Truck accident at 1305 to the EOC.
Route Spotter 1007 contacted the EOC at 1357 to report on his traffic conditions. At 1404, Route Spotter 1009 contacts the EOC to inform of Road Crew 2004 arrival.
Communications was maintained by the Route Spotters and EOC on a regular basis.
These objectives were met.
Traffic Guides - The General Emergency was declared at 1202.
PARS of evacuation of zones A-0, R made at 1250.
The Traffic Guide Post, te be e?fneo sent to Riverhead at 1309.
Pre-assigned Traffic Guides required for 0-2 mile evacuation (26 of the 36 required) were dispatched by 1327.
Note that TCPs 3, 7, 128, 115, 127, 73, 108, 39, 36 and 62 required for a 0-2 mile evacuation were going to be manned, however, due to the requirements of the scenario, were re-assigned to other TCPs.
(Refer to LERO Hessage No. 30R).
Remaining Traffic Guides were also dispatched by 1327. The 26 preassigreed Traffic l. _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ - - _ _ _ _
Guides required for a 0-2 mile evacuation arrived at their posts (20 Posts, excluding the 10 TCPs mentioned above. Also, more than one Traffic Guide required at some posts) by 1415.
This time frame is less than adequate because some Traffic Control Posts were not manned within 1-hour of the time the EBS Message was aired (1257).
Objective 11 was partially met for Riverhead.
All Traffic Guides were able to establish communications with the Staging Area and radioed in upon their arrival at the TCP, with the exception of TCP 87.
His radio is being checked by the Emergency Preparedness Group and will be observed in future drills.
The two TCPs observed by the Field Controller had Traffic Guides at their posts when visited.
TCPs 16, 15, 29 and 19 were contacted by the Staging Area on re-routing at 1331 due to the Cement Truck accident.
The implementation of the re-routing was simulated by the Traffic Guide at TCP 16 and proved adequate.
Objectives 9 and 10 were met by the Traffic Guides.
Stacina Area Obiective 12 December 2 &
December 10:
Port Jefferson. Patchocue and Riverhead Field Controllers observing various locations (i.e.,
Transfer Points, 1 cps) reported field workers reading their dosimeters every 15 minutes and aware of their usage and limits.
New LERO Badges were distributed to field workers containing pertinent radiological information.
Field workers were briefed on the use of these badges and field workers were urged to refer to these badges when necessary.
All field workers were notified when to injest KI and don protective clothing.
This objective was adequately met.
