3.1. EPZ Description The Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station is located in the State of Kansas in Coffey County, about four miles northeast of Burlington, Kansas. The topography of the 10-mile or plume EPZ is relatively flat. The plume EPZ is divided into twenty-two sub zones containing a total population of 6,099 (2000 Census), all within Coffey County, Kansas. | 3.1. EPZ Description The Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station is located in the State of Kansas in Coffey County, about four miles northeast of Burlington, Kansas. The topography of the 10-mile or plume EPZ is relatively flat. The plume EPZ is divided into twenty-two sub zones containing a total population of 6,099 (2000 Census), all within Coffey County, Kansas. | ||
With the exception of Burlington (population 2,790) and three other population clusters, the population density of the effective 10-mile EPZ is quite low - approximately 13 persons per square mile. Most of the seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with recreational areas around John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake. Approximately 70% of the annual visitors to the John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake come to the area during the summer months. Sparsely populated farmland comprises the majority of the effective 10-mile EPZ. Other than the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station, there are not any large industries in the area. | With the exception of Burlington (population 2,790) and three other population clusters, the population density of the effective 10-mile EPZ is quite low - approximately 13 persons per square mile.

- 1. Executive Summary On June 3, 2009, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region VII, conducted an exercise in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station. In addition, out-of-sequence drills were conducted on May 20, 2009, and June 2, 2009.
The purpose of the exercise and drills was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. These exercises and drills were held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures.
The previous exercise at this site was conducted on November 6-7, 2007. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 7, 1984.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Kansas, the risk county of Coffey and the host county of Lyon participated along with the various organizations of the State government. The efforts of the utility should also be commended for their work on the scenario development and exercise preparation.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additionally assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
The State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies, and no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of this exercise. Planning issues that were identified during the exercise will be forwarded under a separate correspondence. There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Action from the previous Exercise in 2007.
The final protective action decision (PAD) during the emergency phase was an evacuation of sub zones CTR, CCL, JRR, S-1, S-2, SW-1, and SW-2. This included Burlington Township, and the City of Burlington, the South quarter of Hampden Township, the Northeast and Northwest sides of Neosho Township, John Redmond 1
Reservoir, and Coffey County Lake. Approximately 3,082 residents in Kansas were affected by the evacuation.

- 2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume 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:
- Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures developed by State and local governments.
- Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments.
- Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993).
- Coordinating the activities of the following federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:
- U.S. Department of Commerce- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency- U.S. Department of Energy- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services- U.S. Food and Drug Administration 3
- U.S. Public Health Service- U.S. Department of Transportation- U.S. Department of Agriculture- U.S. Department of the Interior Representatives of these agencies serve as members of the FEMA Region VII Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.
Formal submission of the RERPs for the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station to the RAC by the State of Kansas and involved local jurisdictions was followed by a critique and evaluation of these plans. Formal approval of the plans and the Alert and Notification System was granted by FEMA on April 4, 1989. A REP exercise was evaluated on June 3, 2009, by FEMA Region VII 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 Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station.
The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region VII RAC Chairperson and approved by the Regional Administrator.
The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:
- NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980.
- Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology as published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2001, and April 25, 2002.
Chapter 3, 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's EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise 4
events and activities.
Chapter 4, of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents basic information on the demonstration of applicable exercise criteria at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues only format. This section also contains: (1) descriptions of all Deficiencies and ARCAs (if any) assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the State and local governments' schedule of corrective actions for each identified exercise issue and (2) descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs efforts to resolve them.

- 3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the June 3, 2009, Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station Exercise. This chapter of the exercise report includes a description of the plumes EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
3.1. EPZ Description The Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station is located in the State of Kansas in Coffey County, about four miles northeast of Burlington, Kansas. The topography of the 10-mile or plume EPZ is relatively flat. The plume EPZ is divided into twenty-two sub zones containing a total population of 6,099 (2000 Census), all within Coffey County, Kansas.
With the exception of Burlington (population 2,790) and three other population clusters, the population density of the effective 10-mile EPZ is quite low - approximately 13 persons per square mile. Most of the seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with recreational areas around John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake. Approximately 70% of the annual visitors to the John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake come to the area during the summer months. Sparsely populated farmland comprises the majority of the effective 10-mile EPZ. Other than the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station, there are not any large industries in the area.
3.2. Exercise Participants Agencies and organizations of the following jurisdictions participated in the Wolf Creek Generating Station exercise:
State Jurisdictions Adjutant General Kansas Division of Emergency Management Kansas National Guard Kansas Department of Health and Environment Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Kansas Civil Air Patrol Kansas Department of Transportation 6

Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in a jurisdiction based, issues only format. Presented below is a definition of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.
Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise Criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise Criteria under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
Area Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCA) - Listing of the demonstrated exercise Criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise.
Included is a description of ARCA(s) assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action(s) to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise. Not Demonstrated - Listing of exercise Criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.
Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Description of ARCA(s) assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.
Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Description of ARCA(s) assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCA(s) remain unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that are discussed in this report.
A Deficiency is defined by FEMA as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that 14 a.b.appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant." An ARCA is defined by FEMA as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety." FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues between FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.
The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
- Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
- Exercise Year - The four digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
- Criterion Number - A three-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the FEMA Exercise Evaluation Areas.
- Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
- Drill or Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.
