==SUMMARY==

On September 24,2003,a full participation exercise was conducted for the plume exposure emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant
( B F  ) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures. The Browns Ferry exercise was originally scheduled on June 4,2003. Severe weather events in the vicinity of the plant just before the exercise led to its postponement until September 24,2003.
The previous evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on June 6,2001. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercises were conducted on September 10, 1981 and November 4,1987.
owledge the efforts of the many indi rdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison and IS exercise. Protecting the public health ercise participants and an additional assi Others have willingly sought this responsibility by voluntee rgency services to their communities. FEMA wishes to re contribution volunteers made to the success of this exercise and their commitment to protect the health and safety of the public in their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during this exercise.
This report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise as well as of out-of-sequence activities during the week of April lI-I4,2003. The out of-sequence activities included:
traffic control points (TCP), emergency worker decontamination, protective action for schools, river warning, reception and congregate care and a medical services drill.
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and implemented them. A Deficiency was identificd during this cxercise regarding the length of time between the issuance of Health Orders concerning evacuation and shelter-in-place of part of the EPZ and the notification of the public through siren activation and Emergency Alert System (EAS) broadcast. A remedial drill was conducted on Qctobsr 20,2003. During the remedial drill the State and the counties demonstrated their ability to promptly alert and notify the public afier receiving the Health Orders from the Radiation Control Agency (RCA). An Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was identified during the demonstration of monitoring and decontamination of vchicles by the Priccville Volunteer Fire Department. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department demonstrated the correction of the ARCA during a July 8,2003 drill.

: 1. STATE OF ALABAMA 1.1 State Emergency Operations Center The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is co-located with the State Emergency Management Agency @MA) in Clanton, Alabama. The SEOC effectively responded to requests for assistance from the counties. Additionally, the SEOC issued a State Declaration of Emergency from the Governor. The Operations Branch controlled emergency reponse operations. The Health Orders issued for the evacuation and shelter-action decision (PAD)were not promptly communicated to the

: b. DEFICIENCY:
Issue No.: 07-03-l.c.l,5.a.l-D-01 Condition: The public was not notified of the evacuation and shelter-in-place until an hour after the decision was made. The RCA issued Health Orders 3 and 4 at 1120. The two Health Orders encompassed the Health Departments decision to order the evacuation of Sectors, A-2, B-2, F-2, G-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of Sectors A-10, B-10 and the City ofAthens. At 1155, the counties were notified on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Hotiine that the Health Orders were on the EM 2000 computer system. Following coordination, the counties activated their sirens at 1219 and broadcast the EAS messages between 1221 and 1222.
Possible Cause: The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) and the RCA did not consistently coordinate with the counties to cnsure that they had received Health Orders 3 and 4. The Standard Operating Guide (SOG), August 2003, did not contain specific instructions on actions, to take at the General Emergency (GEJ or what to do with the health orders issued by RCA. This lack of specificity was compounded by inexperienced personnel in the SEOC.

==Reference:==
Alabama REKP for Nuclear Power Plants, pages A-I, A-2, A-3, A-1 9 and BFWP Standard Operating Guide (SOG) pages 5,8-9, 11,33 and 37. The references indicate that once AEMA receives Health Orders, it has the responsibility to promptly convey this infomiation to the affected counties with a sense of urgency and importance, and fiirther delineates the variety of means that the State has at its disposal for communicating with the counties. Evaluation area criteria 1.c.l and 53.1 (MJREG-0654, A.1.d; A . 2 4 b and E.6.).
Effect: The public was not notified of the PADSin a timely manner and therefore, increased its risk of unnecessary exposure to the radioactive plume.
11

Recommendations: Review and revise procedures as necessary to ensure prompt transmission of PADSto the counties and subsequent alert and notification of the public. One possible solution would be to conduct a conference call over the TVA hotline with AEMA, RCA and the counties to discuss the Health Orders and to determine the time for siren activation and EAS broadcast. Train appropriate staff in the procedures.
Remedial Action Demonstrated: The SOG was revised in October 2003, and plish afber a GE declaratio On October 20, d a remedial drill. At 1530, the CQ es were notified by the SEOC that Health Orders 3 and 4 had been issued by RCA and that a GE had been declared ab the BFWP. Health Orders 3 and 4 called for the evacuation of zones A-2, B-2, G-2, F-& A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of zones A-10, B-10 and the City of Athens. Immediately, after this call, Limestone County notified ail the counties and arranged for them to get back on the Hoot and Holler at 1544 for the coordination of siren activation and EAS message broadcast. At 1544, the Counties decided to activate rhe sirens at 1550 and broadcast their EAS messages at the same time. The sirens were activated md the EAS messages werc broadcast at the agreed upon times. The SEOC was notified of the Counties decision at 1545. The remedial drill terminated at 1559. The State and Counties successfully demonstrated their ability to promptly notify the public of PADs.

: b. DEFICIENCY: NONE E. AWEAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: YE&sect; h o e No.: 07-03-h.a.1-A41 Condition: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department used inappropriate monitoring methods, exposed themselves to contaminated water and did not practice good contamination control, During the monitoring of the vehicle, the firemen continuously touched the tires and body of the vehicle, seemingly unaware that the probe cover needed to be changed. While surveying the vehicle tires, two of the firemen crawled on the ground in the contaminated water unaware that they were contaminating themselves, their protxtive clothing, and probably received false radiation readings.
Possible Cause: The staff who were trained to do the monitoring and decomtaminationwere not present for the demonstration. Hence, the untrained second shift personnel had to conduct the monitoring, but did not have the depth of knowledge to use appropriate survey and contamination avoidance methods.

==Reference:==
Criteria 6.a.l; Morgan County EM4 Browns Feny SOP, Vehicle Decontamination, March, 2003.
Effect: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel spread contamination by using inappropriate monitoring methods. The probe cover was never changed even though the monitor continuously touched the tires and the bottom of the automobile. Contamination spread and gave thc inonitor a false reading. The monitor who continuously crawled around in the contaminated water on the ground contaniinated himself and his protective clothing. The probe was dragged in the contaminated solution on the ground continuously. This further spread contamination.
Recommendation: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department should be provided training in monitoring, contamination control and decontamination.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department received additional training in the monitoring and decontamination of vehicles.
During a July 8,2003 demonstration at the Priceville Fire Station, the firemen used appropriate monitoring, Contamination control and decontamination methods in cleaning a contaminated vehicle. The ~ I Q ~ Cwere S    covered with plastic and the 26

firemen moved the probe at the right speed and held it at the correct distance while surveying the vehicle. The firemen avoided splashing water and did not allow themselves to be exposed to contaminated solutions. They wore full protective clothing, regularly read and recorded their dosimetry, knew their exposure limits, and washed and monitored the vehicle continuously until it had the lowest possible level of contamination. The firemen had a working knowledge of KI, and knew about the spaces where clean and contaminated vehicles were separately parked. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel properly demonstrated the monitoring and decontamination of public vehicles arriving at the reception center and corrected the ARCA identified during the April 11,2003 demonstration.

2.4.6 Medical Drill The BFNF'P medical drill was conducted on December 2,3003. Organizations involved in the medical drill included Decatur EMS and the Parkway Medical Center, both located in Decatur, Alabama. The drill was initiated when the Decatur EMS was dispatched to care for a patient who was involved in a roadside accident. The EMS crewmembers were told of possible radiation contamination in the area because the RFNPP had declared a GE and radioactive materials were released into the environment.
The EMS personnel did a quick assessment of the patient who had a contaminated laceration over his left eye. The EMS personnel piaced a shect beside the patient.
Medical supplies were appropriately placed on this sheet. The EMS staff cut off the patients' contaminated outer clothing and removed his shoes. They placed him on a backboard, wrapped him in a sheet, and rolled him to the ambulance to be transported to Parkway Medical Center. Appropriate contamination control was demonstrated before, and during transport and transfer of thc patient from the EMS crew to the Parkway Medical Center staff.
The Parkway Medical Center staff was well prepared for the arrival of the patient. A protective covering had been placed on the walkway and extended up to the entrance of the Emergency Room (ER). The hallway and the ER floors were covered with a protective plastic. The medical facility monitor surveyed the patient on his arrival. The patient was appropriately transferred to the Parkway Medical Center staff after being placed on a clean gurney. Inside o f the ER, the staff followed appropriate monitoring, contamination control and decontamination methods. Drapes were placed around the eye laceration and the nurse controlled the splashing of water while using a syringe to remove contamination. Swabs were used to clean and dry the area. The drapes were removed 27

and residual water was dried before the laceration was surveyed. This process was repeated until the contamination level had gone from 1400 counts per minute (cpm) down to 100 cpm. Eye, nasal and ear swabs were taken to determine if the patient had internal contamination. Clean paper was placed on the ER floor for the gurney to roll on as the patient was carried out of the ER. The ER staff followed appropriate ER exit procedures as they left the ER and the Decatur EMS staff and their ambulance were appropriately surveyed and released.
The ER staff wore protective clothing. They also carried appropriate direct and permanent record dosimetry. The Parkway Medical Center staff worked well as a team and successfully demonstrated all criteria.

Evacuees come from Limestone and Morgan Counties to this reception center. Evacuccs were interviewed by DIIR personnel to ensure that they had been processed through the monitoring center. Evacuees were appropriately surveyed with portable survey instruments by the Madison County Department of Public Health. Contaminated individuals were sent to shower and were re-monitored until contamination was at its lowest level.
Congregate care was successfully demonstrated at the First Baptist Church Christian Life Center by the ARC. The shelter manager conducted a wIalk-through of the facility.
Health, family services and mental health counseling were provided to evacuees.

delineates the variety of means that the State has at its disposal for communicating with the counties. Evaluation area criteria 1.c.1 and5.a.l (NUREG-0654,A.l.d;A.2.a,b and E.6.).
Effect: The public was not notified of the PADS in a timely manner and therefore, increased their risk of unnecessary exposure to the radioactive plume.
Recommendations: Review and revise procedures as necessary to ensure prompt transmission of PADS to the counties and subsequent alert and notification of the public. One possible solution would be to conduct a conference call over the TVA hotline with AEMA, RCA and the counties to discuss the Health Orders rend to determine the time for siren activation and EAS broadcast. Train appropriate staff in the procedures.
Remedial Action Demonstrated: ?he SOG was revised in October 2003, and included specific actions to accomplish after a GE declaration. On October 20,2003, the State conducted a remedial drill. At 1530, the Counties were notified by the SEOC that Health Orders 3 and 4 had been issued by KCA and that a GE had been declared at the BENPP. Health Orders 3 and 4 called for the evacuation of zones A-2, B-2, G-2, F-2, A-5 and B-5 and the shelter-in-place of zones A-10, B-10 and the City of Athens.
Immediately, after this call, Limestone County notified all the counties and arranged for them to get back on the Hoot and Holler at 1544 for the coordination of EAS and the Public Notification System (PNS).
At 1544, the Counties decided to activate the sirens at 1550 and broadcast their EAS messages at the same time. The sirens were activated and the EAS messages were broadcast at the agreed upon times. The 32

SEOC was notified of the Counties decision at 1545. The remedial drill terminated at 1559. The State and Counties successfully demonstrated their ability to promptly notify the public ofPADs.
4.2 2003ARCA 4.2.1 013-03-4.a.I-A-01    Condition: The Priceville Volunteer Fire MQrgaB U h l n ~     Department used inappropriate monitoring Reception and        methods, exposed themselves to Congregate Care      contaminated water and did not practice good contamination control. During the monitoring ofthe vehicle, the firemen continuously touched the tires and body of the vehicle, seemingly unaware that the probe cover needed to be changed. While surveying the vehicle tires, two of the firemen crawled on the ground in the contaminated water unaware that they were contaminating themselves, their protective clothing, and probably received false radiation readings.
Possible Cause: The staffwho were trained to do the monitoring and decontamination were not present for the demonstralion.
Hence, the untrained second shift personnel had to conduct the monitoring, but did not have the depth of knowledge to use appropriate survey and contaniinaiion avoidance methods.

==Reference:==
Criteria 6.a. 1; Morgan County EMA Browns Ferry SOP, Vehicle Decontamination, March, 2003.
Effect: The Pricevillc Volunteer Fire Depirtment personnel spread contamination by using inappropriate monitoring methods.
The probe cover wa never changed even though the monitor continuously touched the tires and the bottom ofthe automobile.
Contamination spread arid gave the nionitvr a false reading. The monitor who 33

continuously crawled around in the contaminated water on the ground contaminated himseif and his protective clothing. The probe was dragged in the contaminated solution on the ground continuously. This further spread contamination.
Recommendation: The Priceviile Volunteer Fire Department should be provided training in monitoring, contamination control and decontamination.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department received additional training in the monitoring and decontamination of vehicles.
During a July 8,2003 demonstration at the Priceville Fire Station, the firemen used appropriate monitoring, contamination control and decontamination methods in cleaning a contaminated vehicle. The probes were covered with plastic and the firernen moved the probe at the right speed and held it at the correct distance while surveying the vehicle. The firenren avoided splashing water and did not allow themselves to be exposed to contaminated solutions. They wore full protective clothing, regularly read and recorded their dosimetry, knew their exposure Limits, and washed and monitored the vehicle continuously until it had the lowest possible level of contamination, The firemen had a working knowledge of KI, and knew about the spaces where clean and contaminated vehicles were separately parked. The Priceville Volunteer Fire Department personnel properly demonstrated the monitoring and deconttimination of public vehicles arriving at the reception center and corrected the ARCA identified during the April 11,2003 demonstration.

Enclosed you will find the Radiation Control revisions for the Extent-of-Play for the 2003 Browns Feny Nuclear Power Plant Exercise that you had requested. We have included the text that you had recommended. In add;t!on, we have given our responses in bold italicized type so that It will make for easier viewing.
If you have any question or concerns about this report, I trust you will contact me and le6 me kIJOW of any changes that you feel are neeckd.
Sincerely, Tonya Appieiard Senior Radiation Physicist Office of Radiation Control Enclosures

Browns F a y Nuclear Power Plant June 4,2083 FEMA Extent-of-Pkiy recommendations Emerqency &r&er Exposr~reControl (Sub-Element 2.3.1J A decisioribmakirlg process must be in place so that if or when an emergency worker reaches his or her exposure limit, it can be determined whether or not to authorize exposure arid for t h e situations that will allow for addiliorial exposure in excess of the administrative limits. If this not done by County management, who do they need to contact for information? Please clarify in revised EOQ or provide this informelion during the Fedcia! evaluators meeting.
Authorization bs exceed emergency worker exposure guide!ines deihed in Nabanla Radiation Emergency Response Pfan for Nuckar Power Ptants miist be obtained from the State Heafth Officerpriorto any expostire limit being exceeded.
Under the EOP. it is indicated that OKC will not demonstrate KI decision-making.
However, two field monitoring teams will be evaluated and either through dernonstration or discussion their knowledge of the use of KI will be ascertained.
Please clarify this in the EDP. Also on this same page 13, under Limestone County, the SAV cannot be used to demonstrate t h e KI decision-making process. This should be done during the exercise,

KI (Potassium Iodide) is apart of the field monitoring teams equipment. KI is kept in fhe field monitoring kits at all times. The field monitoring teams are fui&
know/edgeable of the purpose of KI. And if the time arises for the need 10 take Kl, field monifofing teams will fill out ihe content form which is in their field monitoring instruction manual and turn back info SRMAC/Health Department when they return from the field. Field monitooring teams will not demonstrate taking the K!, they wiN simulate only if the scenario calls for the need to take KI.
Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses [Sub-Element 4 . 4 Please provide us with the time that field teams will be assembled.
Radiation Control will demonstrate plume phase field measurements and analyses, scenario dependent. Two field teams will be evaluated. Field teams will simulate using booties and gloves for contamination control. Field teams will be prppesffioned at the Morgan County Health Depatfment Parking Lot (510 Cherry Street- M E , Decatur, AL 35602). Time of field team assembly will be provided at the evaluators in-briefing meeting OR Tuesday, June rd.
