EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On May 24, 2012, an out-of-sequence Reception Center drill was conducted for the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP), located near Glen Rose, Texas. Personnel from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security/FEMA (DHS/FEMA) Region VI, evaluated all activities. The purpose of the drills was to assess the level of preparedness of local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at the CPNPP. The previous Reception Center drill conducted at this site was on September 13, 2006.
Personnel from the City of Stephenville, the State of Texas, the American Red Cross, and CPNPP participated in the drill. Evaluation Areas demonstrated included: Emergency Operations Management, Protective Action Implementation, and Support Operations/Facilities. Cooperation and teamwork of all participants was evident during the drill, and DHS/FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge these efforts.
This report contains the final evaluation of the out-of-sequence drill. The participants demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. One Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was identified and corrected during the drill. One Plan Issue was also identified as a result of the drill. No Deficiencies were observed.

3.3 Criteria Evaluation Summaries 3.3.1 Support Jurisdictions 3.3.1.1 Stephenville Reception Center In summary, the status of DHS/FEMA criteria for this location is as follows:
- a. MET: 3.a.1, 6.a.1, 6.c.1.
- b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 6.a.1.
ISSUE NO.: 14-12-6a1-A-02 CRITERION: The reception center facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees.
CONDITION: A bag containing an evacuees valuables and personal items was returned to the evacuee prior to determining whether the items were free of contamination.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Training, knowledge of plans/procedures and inconsistency in the process of securing evacuees valuables and/or personal items during the check-in process.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, J.12; City of Stephenville Reception Center Operations Plan and Procedures, April 2012, SOP 8 Exposure Control, Attachment 1.
EFFECT: The evacuee could have potentially spread contamination to the staff and other evacuees.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Play was stopped and emergency workers (EWs) received some training on handling personal items. The EWs took the bag with the personal items and recorded the evacuees information (simulated) and explained to her that once the items were cleared and free of contamination they would be returned. EWs were able to successfully demonstrate the handling of 10

_____________________________________________________________________
previously bagged potentially contaminated valuables and personal items.
- c. DEFICIENCY: None
- d. PLAN ISSUES: 1.e.1.
ISSUE NO.: 14-12-1e1-P-01 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI, and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.
CONDITION: The Thermo Surveyor 50 survey meters were set-up (batteries installed) and operationally checked at the Reception Center Equipment Issue Table.
This set-up and operational check was performed correctly (based on training). At the initial monitoring area for the evacuees, it was noted that the written instructions provided for conducting the operational checks on the Thermo Surveyor 50 survey meters was incorrect. The information provided only for a check to verify a response to radiation and it did not require that the instrument responds within the range or readings on the sticker that was affixed to the survey meter. The trigger/action level provided on the laminated card affixed to the meter was not in agreement with the state plan (300 cpm above background). There was also no procedure available to describe the set-up, operational check, and use of the two SAIC portal monitors.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The City of Stephenville Operations Plan and Procedure for the reception center had recently been revised (April 2012). The kit for the monitoring area contained outdated information that pre-dated this revision and it appears that this information was left out of the updated procedure.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 H.7, K.3.b and FEMA-REP-22 EFFECT: Instruments may have been used that were not measuring correctly which could result in a spread of contamination to uncontrolled areas.
RECOMMENDATION: The procedure should be revised to include step-by-step instructions for the set-up, operational check, and use of the portal monitors. Out of date instructions for the use of the hand held survey meters should be updated to 11

provide instructions on conducting an operational check to verify measurement within the appropriate range of readings and to provide the correct trigger/action level that is consistent with the state guidance.
- e. NOT DEMONSTRATED: None
- f. PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: None
- g. PRIOR ISSUES - UNRESOLVED: None 12

EVACUEE INFORMATION FOR CONTROLLERS EVACUEE CONTAMINATION VEHICLE STATUS NO. STATUS 1 (Male) Contaminated Contaminated Exterior 2 Clean Clean 3 Clean Clean 4 (Female) Contaminated Clean 5 (Male) Contaminated Contaminated Exterior &
Interior (Drivers Seat) 6 (Female) Contaminated Clean NOTE TO CONTROLLERS IN DECONTAMINATION FACILITIES: Contaminated persons after completion of shower will be clean. The attendant will do a whole body frisk and complete all necessary documentation (survey forms) following the shower and will also frisk valuables in a bag. Once the personnel decon has been accomplished, no readings over background are necessary. The objective here is to evaluate the process not trip up the decon attendants.
CONTAMINATION LEVELS: When a portal monitor is used to determine evacuee contamination levels the individual will be asked to step back and be re-surveyed by the portal monitor. Reception Center staff should then, at a minimum, survey hands and feet to locate/isolate contamination on the individual with a hand-held survey meter. (NOTE: The sex of the evacuee may vary due to the volunteer Role Players available on the date of the exercise)
The following levels apply to individual Role Players: (Note: All radiation levels are above background)
