1. Executive Summary On March 25, 2009, a full participation exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Dresden Nuclear Power Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA). 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 DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on March 21, 2007. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on September 30, 1981.

The DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois the risk counties of Grundy, Kendall, and Will participated along with the State Government. The State of Indiana did not participate in the exercise since it was not a full participation/ingestion exercise.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities: Illinois State Police Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing, Traffic Access and Control Points, Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers (EWs), Monitoring and Decontamination of EWs' Equipment, Public Registration, Congregate Care Center Interview, and Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2) Interviews. The State and local organizations except where noted in this report demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.

There was one Deficiency during this exercise identified for the State of Illinois under Criterion 2.b.2 - A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PAD) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy) 1 whereby the process used and performance demonstrated by the State and Grundy County to determine and implement protective action recommendations and decisions, contributed to a delay in the notification of the public to take action. The Deficiency was resolved on July 10, 2009, as identified herein.

There was one Deficiency during this exercise identified for the Grundy County Emergency Operations Center, Public Information Officer under Criterion 5.b.1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner whereby the process used and performance demonstrated by the State and Grundy County to determine and implement protective action recommendations and decisions, contributed to a delay in the notification of the public to take action. The Deficiency was resolved on July 1, 2009, as identified herein.

There were no Deficiencies identified during this exercise for Kendall or Will Counties.

There were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois, Grundy, Kendall and Will Counties.

There were no ARCAs from previous exercises for the State of Illinois, Grundy, Kendall, and Will Counties that were required to be demonstrated during this exercise.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351, and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees.

FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;

to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993) and

emergency planning process:

3

Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station to DHS/FEMA by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 31, 1981.

Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on October 14, 1982, under 44 CFR 350. A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted on March 25, 2009, by FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team. Final determinations are made by the DHS/FEMA - Region V Office with FEMA Headquarters concurrence.

The criteria utilized in the DHS/FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980;

1991 and Notice" as published in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview", presents basic information and data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities, 4 which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the March 25, 2009, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone and a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3.1. EPZ Description The Dresden Nuclear Power Station is located on 953 rolling prairie acres in northeast Grundy County on the southern bank of the Illinois River. The topography of the site and its immediate environs is relatively flat, with elevations varying from 509 to 523 feet above sea level. The only significant topographic deviations in the area around the Dresden Station are the Kankakee Bluffs, 591 to 624 feet high, located just northeast of the site. Portions of the site owned by Exelon Nuclear Corporation are leased for cattle grazing and field crops. Approximately 150 acres are used for grazing. Field crop cultivation occupies about another 300 acres. Recreational activity is in the form of hunting during legally prescribed seasons, with entry controlled by the agricultural lessee. The Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station consists of a circle with the Dresden Station as the center point. The EPZ extends 10 miles outward in all directions from the Dresden Station for the plume exposure pathway planning zone and 50 miles outward for the ingestion exposure pathway planning zone. In the event of a serious accident at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, the plume exposure EPZ will be the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. This EPZ includes the following counties and municipalities: Grundy County (Illinois), and the municipalities of Carbon Hill, Coal City, Diamond, Minooka, and Morris; Will County (Illinois), and the entire municipalities of Braidwood, Channahon, Elwood, and Wilmington, portions of the municipalities of Joliet and Shorewood, and a small portion of Kendall County (Illinois).

The plume EPZ is divided into a total of 16 sub-areas.

The population distribution in the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Dresden Nuclear Power 6

Station is relatively low. The 2000 census population for the 10-mile EPZ is divided as follows: Braceville - population 792 located nine miles South from the site; Braidwood -

polulation 5203 located seven miles South Southeast from the site; Carbon Hill -

population 392 located three miles South Southeast from the site; Channahon -

population 7344 located seven miles Northeast from the site; Coal City - population 4797 located seven miles South from the site; Diamond - population 1393 located eight miles South from the site; Elwood - population 1620 located miles miles East from the site; Minooka - population 3971 located four miles North of the site; Morris - population 11928 located eight miles West of the site; and Wilmington - population 5134 located nine miles Southeast of the site. The majority of the populations for the following jursdictions reside outside of the ten mile EPZ: Joliet - population 106221 located four miles Northeast from the site and Shorewood - population 7686 located nine miles North Northwest of the site.

Outside of the Station's boundaries there is a substantial amount of industry. Adjacent to the southern boundary of the Station is the Away-From-Reactor Operations Spent Fuel Storage Facility. Four miles southeast of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is the former Joliet Arsenal (36,000 acres), which now is comprised of two industrial areas:

9,000 acres for a national cemetery; and 23,000 acres for the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie. The Army is retaining the use of 4,000 acres.

Within the EPZ of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station there are industrial plants, chemical production facilities, petroleum refining industries, warehousing, dry dock facilities and transportation equipment industries The majority of the remaining area in the Dresden Nuclear Power Station EPZ is used for agriculture, predominately cash grain production. South of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is approximately twenty-seven (27) square miles of recreational and residential land. The EPZ also contains four state parks and a conservation area. These areas are served by various forms of transportation. Interstate Highway 80 passes five miles to the north of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, and Interstate Highway 55 passes four miles to the east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. The Illinois, Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers flow near the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. Several railroads operate on tracks running near the Dresden Nuclear Power Station EPZ, including, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company and Amtrak which is four (4) miles east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station; the Elgin, the Joliet and Eastern Railroad which is one and one-half (11/2) miles west of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station; the CSX Transportation Inc., which is four (4) miles northwest of the 7

Dresden Nuclear Power Station; and the Union Pacific Railroad Company, which is seven (7) miles east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.

During this time it took 11 minutes to transmit the State's PAR to the Counties. These 11 minutes contributed to the overall 71 minutes that transpired from the release occurring to the time Grundy County began notification of the General Public through broadcast by EBS Station - WCSJ/WJDK at 1218 hours0.0141 days <br />0.338 hours <br />0.00201 weeks <br />4.63449e-4 months <br />.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The process used and performance demonstrated by the State and Grundy County to determine and implement protective action recommendations and decisions, contributed to a delay in the notification of the public to take action.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.9 NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.f, m EFFECT: The public could have been unnecessarily exposed to additional radiation released from the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Review process and performance and make necessary changes to assure that the General Public receives PARs in a timely manner.

CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN:

On June 30, 2009, a telephonic conference was held between the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the Exelon Corporation, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region V (FEMA RV). The purpose of the call was to determine the actions to be taken to resolve the Deficiency identified under criterion 2.b.2, State Incident Response Center, during the March 25, 2009, REP Exercise.

The agreement between IEMA and FEMA RV was for IEMA to submit a letter to FEMA RV which will indicate their commitment to develop an improved process for notice to the public in the case of a radiological event at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. This process is to be developed, tested and ready for implementation no longer than 90 days for the acknowledgment of receipt by FEMA RV.

18 d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f.a. On July 7, 2009, the commitment letter from IEMA was received at FEMA RV. After review of the IEMA letter an acknowledgement letter from FEMA RV was prepared and sent to IEMA on July 10, 2009. This letter indicated that the 90 day period would commence on July 10, 2009.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency complied with the decisions made at the June 30th conference call. The submittal of their letter committing to the development of an improved process within the 90 days period resolves the identified Deficiency for criterion 2.b.2.

ISSUE NO.: 20-09-5b1-D-02 CRITERION: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654, E.5., 7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c)

CONDITION: The initial release of radioactive materials from the DNPS began at 1106 hours0.0128 days <br />0.307 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.20833e-4 months <br />. The peak release rates by scenario were between 1130-1145 hours, and actually occurred at 1140 hours0.0132 days <br />0.317 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.3377e-4 months <br />. The meteorological data indicated a constant wind speed of 4 mph, the affected Sub-Areas needed to be evacuated as quickly as possible to protect the public from being immersed in a radioactive plume.

By 1210 hours0.014 days <br />0.336 hours <br />0.002 weeks <br />4.60405e-4 months <br />, the plume segment which exceeded the PAGs traveled approximately 2.0 miles from the DNPS site boundary.

At 1144 Grundy County officials verified State NARS Message No. 3, which included a recommendation to evacuate Grundy County Sub-Areas 1 and 4.

A total of 34 minutes transpired before initiation of the EBS message including an evacuation recommendation for the General Public. These 34 minutes contributed to the overall 71 minutes that transpired from the release 25 occurring to the time Grundy County began notification of the General Public through broadcast by EBS Station - WCSJ/WJDK at 1218 hours0.0141 days <br />0.338 hours <br />0.00201 weeks <br />4.63449e-4 months <br />.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The process used and performance demonstrated by the State and Grundy County to determine and implement protective action recommendations and decisions, contributed to a delay in the notification of the public to take action.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, E.5., E.7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c EFFECT: The public could have been unnecessarily exposed to additional radiation released from the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Review process and performance and make necessary changes to assure that the General Public receives PADs in a timely manner.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN GRUNDY COUNTY EOC The Grundy County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully demonstrated its capability to provided accurate and timely information to the media and the public in the re-demonstration drill to rectify the Deficiency detected during the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Exercise conducted on March 25, 2009. The re-demonstration was held on July 1, 2009, at the Grundy County Emergency Operations Center.

The Grundy County EOC had the necessary staff pre-positioned and activated at the Grundy County EOC for this re-demonstration exercise by 0900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br />. Radio station WCSJ/WJDK was also staffed to assist in the re-demonstration.

The Controller (IEMA) provided a hand-out containing general information regarding the situation and the actions taken up to the point of play just prior to the re-demonstration drill commencing. This information included two previous NARS messages (State Message No.1 and No.2) which brought the situation up to an Alert condition for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.

26 At approximately 0915 hours0.0106 days <br />0.254 hours <br />0.00151 weeks <br />3.481575e-4 months <br />, the County EOC Communications Center received notification of a change in the On-site Conditions via NARS State Message No. 3. This message was verified at 0920 hours0.0106 days <br />0.256 hours <br />0.00152 weeks <br />3.5006e-4 months <br /> and provided to the Grundy County EMA Director. This message identified that a General Emergency Emergency Classification Level (ECL) had been declared at the site and there was not a radioactive release. The State's Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) identified that Sub-Areas 1, 3, and 4, were to be evacuated. The EM Director and County Board Representative concurred with the State's recommendation to evacuate Sub-Areas 1 and 4 (which are in Grundy County). At 0926 hours0.0107 days <br />0.257 hours <br />0.00153 weeks <br />3.52343e-4 months <br />, simulated coordination (telephone call to a State Controller) was made with the other two affected counties (Will and Kendall) for the broadcast of Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) messages and sounding of sirens.

The County Media Message Manager prepared the pre-scripted messages regarding the evacuations of Sub-Areas 1 and 4, to be disseminated to the public via the EBS. The completed message contained all the required elements: names of affected municipalities, evacuation routes, location of reception centers, transportation availability for those needing assistance, what to take, phone numbers to call for assistance, information on schools, and other information. The message was approved by the County Board Representative. Once approved the message was e-mailed to the radio station by the Media Message Manager. At 0938 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.56909e-4 months <br />, the County Board Representative read the message to the radio station (WCSJ/WJDK) over the telephone for simulated immediate live broadcast and recorded for future repeat broadcasts, ending the message at 0941 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.580505e-4 months <br />.

At approximately 0949 hours0.011 days <br />0.264 hours <br />0.00157 weeks <br />3.610945e-4 months <br />, the County received NARS State Message No.

4 which provided notice of a release of radioactive material and that a General Emergency ECL was still declared. This message was verified at 0952 hours0.011 days <br />0.264 hours <br />0.00157 weeks <br />3.62236e-4 months <br /> and provided to the Grundy County EMA Director. The County accepted the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's recommendation to evacuate Sub-Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 12. The addition of Sub-Areas 2 and 7 affect Grundy County.

The County Media Message Manager used a pre-scripted template with specific information for the affected Sub-Areas to prepare the EBS message.

27 The completed message contained all the required elements: names of affected municipalities, evacuation routes, location of reception centers, transportation availability for those needing assistance, what to take, phone numbers to call for assistance, information on schools, and other information.

The message was reviewed and approved by the County Board Representative. The Media Message Manager sent the message via e-mail to the radio station. At 1008 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.83544e-4 months <br />, the message was then read by the County Board Representative over the telephone to the radio station for simulated immediate live broadcast and recorded by the media outlet for simulated playback every 15 minutes for the first hour. Simulated coordination (telephone call to a State Controller) was made with the other two affected counties (Will and Kendall) for the broadcast of EBS messages and sounding of sirens.

All news releases were simulated as coordinated (faxed) with the local municipalities, Kendall and Will Counties, the IEMA Representative at the JIC and the EOF. All media communication activities were logged on the Grundy County Master Log.

There was no requirement for non-English language information to be published.

RADIO STATION WCSJ At 0820 hours0.00949 days <br />0.228 hours <br />0.00136 weeks <br />3.1201e-4 months <br />, Radio Station WCSJ/WJDK received a test e-mail message from the Media Manager in the Grundy County EOC (GCEOC) requesting a confirmation of the message, and informing the radio station of the status of a drill. At 0828 hours0.00958 days <br />0.23 hours <br />0.00137 weeks <br />3.15054e-4 months <br />, the Operations Manager for Radio Station WCSJ/WJDK submitted an e-mail response to the GCEOC Media Manager. At 0829 hours0.00959 days <br />0.23 hours <br />0.00137 weeks <br />3.154345e-4 months <br />, the GCEOC Media Manager replied to the radio station's Operations Manager via e-mail.

At approximately 0915 hours0.0106 days <br />0.254 hours <br />0.00151 weeks <br />3.481575e-4 months <br />, the small, central broadcasting and recording booth for the radio station was staffed by another radio station employee in anticipation of receiving and simultaneously broadcasting an EBS message live while recording it for future playback.

28 d.e.f. At 0937 hours0.0108 days <br />0.26 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.565285e-4 months <br />, the central booth operator received an initial notification of the pending broadcast of an EAS message from the GCEOC by way of the illumination of a bright warning light in the booth and a follow-up telephone call from the GCEOC. The booth operator immediately activated the MP3 recorder while simulating overriding the live broadcast. At 0938 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.56909e-4 months <br />, GCEOC began reading the first EAS message and at 0941 hours0.0109 days <br />0.261 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.580505e-4 months <br />, the message was completed and recorded. The booth operator also received an e-mail message containing the EAS message (Message Number 2) as an attachment with the time of the approval of the message in the GCEOC being 0935 hours0.0108 days <br />0.26 hours <br />0.00155 weeks <br />3.557675e-4 months <br />.

At 1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br />, the booth operator was again notified of a pending EAS message by the illumination of a bright warning light in the booth and a follow-up telephone call from the GCEOC. At 1007 hours0.0117 days <br />0.28 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.831635e-4 months <br />, the booth operator simulated broadcasting the EAS message over the airwaves while simultaneously recording the message on the MP3 recorder. The EAS message was completed at 1011 hours0.0117 days <br />0.281 hours <br />0.00167 weeks <br />3.846855e-4 months <br />. The booth operator received an e-mail message with this EAS message (Message Number 3) as an attachment, and the message was approved at the GCEOC 1005 hours0.0116 days <br />0.279 hours <br />0.00166 weeks <br />3.824025e-4 months <br />.

During discussions with the broadcast/recording booth operator, it was learned that training for the radio station broadcasting staff on the e-mail notification system had been conducted by the Grundy County EMA in March 2009. The booth operator provided the evaluator with copies of both EAS messages and the radio station provided the evaluator with a copy of the Grundy County Emergency Public Notification Guideline, G-SOG-20, dated May 2007. All activities described in the re-demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan and procedures.
