On April 5, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Preparedness Directorate, National Preparedness Division, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region I conducted an exercise in the 10-Mile Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone around the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station. | |||
Interviews and out-of-sequence demonstrations for schools, other special facilities, and reception, monitoring, and decontamination centers (as outlined in this report) were conducted within 60 days of the exercise. The purpose of the exercise and out-of-sequence activities 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. | |||
DHS wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in The State of New Hampshire, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, The State of Maine, local communities, and private and volunteer organizations that participated in this 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 of all the participants were evident during this exercise. | |||
This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the out-of-sequence activities. | |||
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN Issue Number: 57-16-3a1-P- Issue No: 01 NH ISSUE: : 135A-Emergency Worker Potassium Iodide User Agreement which indicated, I will take one (1) tablet (130 milligrams) per day of the thyroid blocking agent as instructed. When interviewed, the emergency worker recognized the correct dosage was to ingest two (65mg) tablets and demonstrated this to the evaluator.
Although some of the emergency workers self-corrected, the form caused some initial confusion.
RECOMMENDATION: Review of all applicable plans, procedures and documents to ensure that the correct dosage is being administrated.

Issue Number: 57-16-5b1-P- Issue No: 02 NH ISSUE: The NH PIO Spokesperson (Spokesperson) was having difficulty receiving information from the State EOC. Both states Spokespersons arrived at 0857. Since the licensee JIC personnel was in place for quite some time before the states arrived, and the Alert EAS occurred over an hour prior to that, the licensee was ready to brief the media as soon as possible. The NH Spokesperson was unaware the SEOC had provided numerous information to the JIC via electronic 300B Forms and through WebEOC. This lack of information occurred several times throughout the day, including after the General Emergency (GE) was declared. The GE was declared at 1100. The licensee was ready to give a media briefing at 1115; however, the states were not ready to provide PAD information. The briefing was pushed back until 1120 and then 1125, and then 1135 and finally was held at 1140. During this 20 minutes of holding off the briefing, the NH Spokesperson tried calling the EOC repeatedly to obtain the necessary information. Because she was not able to get the information in time, she was not able to advise the residents of Seabrook and Hampton Falls of the need to evacuate and consider taking KI.
RECOMMENDATION: Revise the decision making and dissemination process to assure messages will be received by the public in a prompt manner. Provide training to primary and backup PIOs/Spokespersons in NH.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Issue Number: 57-16-1.c.1-P- Issue No: 03 NH ISSUE: The Portsmouth, New Hampshire EOC leadership did not adequately demonstrate direction and control of the emergency response. After receiving the notification of an Alert at 0812, the EMC did not review his job aid in a timely manner. This in turn, delayed ESF staff notifications and activation of EOC for approximately 30-45 minutes. This also led to the initial two 300B forms being read almost an hour after they were sent out. In addition, when 300B #4 and #5 were received, some information was omitted during the EOC briefing, such as canceling-school activities, additional protective actions, and reception center status. The EMC and City Manager made a precautionary actions decision to order an early release of school children and non-essential personnel without thoroughly communicating and coordinating with the State to ensure that the public was notified. The EMC wasnt aware of certain EOC activities, for example, staff were receiving public inquiry calls and providing responses without the EMCs knowledge. There was no Job Aid for the PIO position, which should be handling the public inquiry calls. Also, the EMC gave staff the option to leave during the exercise, if they wanted to get back to their regular jobs.
RECOMMENDATION: Additional training and review of EOC operations, job aids, and the REP Program along with leadership expectations should be provided. In the future, all staff should perform all duties as if the Graded Exercises was an actual emergency. Staff should remain engaged and present throughout the entire exercise unless there is a real world emergency.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Issue Number: 57-16-1d1-P- Issue No: 01 MA ISSUE: On April 5, 2016, the Massachusetts Field Monitoring Teams performed all required communications using cellular telephones and a laptop computer with an air card. Though all forms of communication performed reliably during the Seabrook Stations evaluated plume exercise, all rely on local cellular towers and are vulnerable to a single failure.
The REP Program Manual directs that All facilities, FMTs, and incident command must have the capability to access at least one communication system that is independent of the commercial telephone system. The Massachusetts plan for Field Monitoring Teams responding to emergencies at Seabrook Station indicate the laptop computer with air card as the primary means of communication and cellular telephone as the secondary means of communication. Each team had one air card, one licensee issued cellular telephone, two State issued cellular telephones, and two personal cellular telephones. These may be considered to be a single system, relying on the same local cellular towers.
RECOMMENDATION: Include State system radios, as used for responses to emergencies at Pilgrim and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Stations, or other independent system to Field Monitoring Teams responding to emergencies at Seabrook Station.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 NEW HAMPSHIRE EXTENT OF PLAY SEABROOK STATION NUCLEAR POWER STATION PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EXERCISE Evaluated Exercise - April 5, 2016 BACKGROUND:
This is the proposed 2016 Extent of Play (EOP) Criteria for the New Hampshire (N.H.) Off-Site Response Organization (ORO) involved in the Plume Exercise Cycle for Seabrook Station. No changes have been made to any criterion except as noted in the document.
This EOP covers all components and activities of the exercise cycle starting with a one-day workshop on September 9th 2015. Several Out-of-Sequence (OOS) activities have been or will be conducted prior to the Tabletop Exercise (TTX) scheduled for October 15, 2015. The Exercise Cycle will culminate with the graded exercise on April 5, 2016. Various out-of-sequence activities and exercises will be scheduled, but the criteria utilized will be incorporated within this EOP and noted throughout the document, as appropriate.
This document does NOT identify all exercise areas to be discussed/exercised by the State and other off-site response organizations/agencies. The scenarios developed for and utilized in the drills and exercises will incorporate sufficient injects to provide opportunities for all players to participate in response and recovery activities mindful of an all-hazard approach. Items identified in this EOP only will be subject to evaluation.
This is a NEW HAMPSHIRE ONLY document. The EOPs for Massachusetts will be combined with this document by FEMA to form a comprehensive EOP for this exercise cycle, if appropriate.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 1.e - Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.
Criterion 1.e.1: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, H.7, 10; I.7, 8, 9; J.10.a, b, e; J.11, 12; K.3.a; K.5.b)
Extent of Play A particular facilitys equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with that facilitys assigned role in the OROs emergency operations plans. Use of maps and other displays is encouraged.
For non-facility-based operations, the equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with the assigned operational role. At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriated equipment (e.g., vehicles, barriers, traffic cones and signs) must be available, or their availability described.
Specific equipment and supplies that must be demonstrated under this criterion include KI inventories, dosimetry, and monitoring equipment, as follows:
KI: Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by:
(1) emergency workers; (2) institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and (3) where stipulated by the plans/procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make KI available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures. The plans/procedures must include the forms to be used for documenting emergency worker ingestion of KI, as well as a mechanism for identifying emergency workers that have declined KI in advance. Consider carefully the placement of emergency workers that have declined KI in advance.
ORO quantities of dosimetry and KI available and storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at the storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the ALC submission, and/or verified during an SAV. Available supplies of KI must be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the ORO may produce a letter from a certified private or State laboratory indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia standards.94 Dosimetry: Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers must be available for issuance to all emergency workers who will be dispatched to perform an ORO mission. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make dosimetry available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/ procedures.
Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry must allow an individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the OROs plans/ procedures.
Direct-reading dosimeters must be zeroed or operationally checked prior to issuance. The dosimeters must be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replaced when necessary. Civil Defense Victoreen Model 138s (CD V-138s) (0-200 mR), due to their documented history of electrical leakage SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 94 of 180 8/31/15
SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 problems, must be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly and replaced when necessary. This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.
Operational checks and testing of electronic dosimeters must be in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.
Monitoring Instruments: All instruments must be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. Instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Unmodified CDV-700 series instruments and other instruments without a manufacturers recommendation must be calibrated annually. Modified CDV-700 instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer. A label indicating such calibration must be on each instrument or calibrated frequency can be verified by other means. In addition, instruments being used to measure activity must have a sticker-affixed to their sides indicating the effective range of the readings. The range of readings documentation specifies the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source.
For FMTs, the instruments must be capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting beta radiation. These instruments must be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/ exposure control of team members and detection of activity on air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the OROs plans/ procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source must be used to verify proper operational response for each low-range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1R/hr.) and for high-range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high-range instrument, a procedure must exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high-range instrument can make useful readings.
In areas where portal monitors are used, the OROs must set up and operationally check the monitor(s).
The monitor(s) must conform to the standards set forth in the Contamination Monitoring Standard for a Portal Monitor Used for Emergency Response, FEMA-REP-21 (March 1995) or in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.
Mutual Aid Resources: If the incoming resources arrive with their own equipment (i.e., monitors and/ or dosimetry), they will be evaluated by REP Program standards. FEMA will not inventory equipment that is not part of the REP Program. If an agency has a defined role in the REP Plan, they are subject to the planning process and standards, as well as the guidance of this Manual.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of- Play Agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play Participating facilities will demonstrate that equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, KI and other supplies are adequate and sufficient to support the emergency response. FEMA will provide copies of the Annual Letter of Certification to evaluators as documentation of quarterly inventory and operational checks.
Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA): N/A Note: If, during the exercise, a participant demonstrates this sub-element unsatisfactorily, the FEMA Evaluator will inform the MEMA Controller. After an on the spot training by the local or State representative, the FEMA Evaluator will provide another opportunity to re-demonstrate the activity that day.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 EVALUATION AREA 2: Precautionary and/or Protective Action Decision-Making Sub-element 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) have the capability to assess and control the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specified in the OROs plans/procedures, to authorize emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.
Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers are the recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates that emergency workers may be permitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration Total Effective Dose Equivalent or organ-specific limits) identified in the OROs plans/procedures.
Criterion 2.a.1: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers, including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C.6.f; K.3.a; K.4)
Extent of Play OROs authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway EPZ must demonstrate a capability to comply with emergency worker exposure limits based on their emergency plans/procedures.
Participating OROs must demonstrate the capability to make decisions concerning the authorization of exposure levels in excess of pre-authorized levels and to the number of emergency workers receiving radiation dose above pre-authorized levels. This would include providing KI and dosimetry in a timely manner to emergency workers dispatched onsite to support plant incident assessment and mitigating actions, in accordance with respective plans/procedures.
As appropriate, OROs must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI as a protective measure for emergency workers, based on the OROs plan/ procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established Protective Action Guides (PAGs) for KI administration.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

OROs must have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency. OROs base these choices on PAGs from their plans/procedures or EPAs Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee PARs, coordination of precautionary and/or protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g., other affected OROs and incident command), availability of in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations, to include HAB incidents, the threat posed by the specific hostile action, the affiliated response and the effect of an evacuation on the threat response effort, that create higher than normal risk from general population evacuation.
Criterion 2.b.1: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, I.10 and Supplement 3)
Extent of Play During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO must demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan/procedures, to develop protective action recommendations (PAR) for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations provided from the licensee as well as and field monitoring data, if available. The ORO must also consider any release and meteorological data provided by the licensee.
The ORO must demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs must be appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose must be demonstrated. Projected doses must be related to quantities and units of the PAG to which they will be compared. PARs must be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.
When the licensee and ORO projected doses differ by more than a factor of 10, the ORO and licensee must determine the source of the difference by discussing input data and assumptions used, using different models, or exploring possible reasons. Resolution of these differences must be incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The ORO must demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play Demonstration will be in accordance with the NIAT Handbook. The MDPH Dose Assessment Coordinator at the EOF will independently verify dose projections performed by the Utility.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 The State EOC decision-making team will evaluate the protective action recommendations of the NIAT Accident Assessment Team and develop appropriate protective action decisions.
Protective action recommendations will be made in accordance with the MARERP and NIAT Handbook.
Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA): N/A Criterion 2.b.2: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make precautionary and/or protective action decisions (PAD) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy).
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A-3; C-4, 6; D-4; J.9, 10.e, f, m)
Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) must have the capability to make both initial and subsequent precautionary and/or protective action decisions. OROs must demonstrate the capability to make initial precautionary and/or protective action decisions in a timely manner appropriate to the incident, based on information from the licensee, assessment of plant status and potential or actual releases, other available information related to the incident, input from appropriate ORO authorities (e.g. Incident Command), and PARs from the utility and ORO staff. In addition, a subsequent or alternate precautionary and/or protective action decision may be appropriate if various conditions (e.g. an HAB incident, weather, release timing and magnitude) pose undue risk to an evacuation, or if evacuation may disrupt the efforts to respond to a hostile action.
OROs must demonstrate the ability to obtain supplemental resources (e.g. mutual aid) necessary to implement a precautionary and/or protective action decision if local law enforcement, fire service, HAZMAT, and emergency medical resources are used to augment response to the NPP site or other key infrastructure.
Dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based on the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. In addition, incident command must provide input regarding considerations for subsequent PARs based on the magnitude of the ongoing threat, the response, and/or site conditions. The decision-makers must demonstrate the capability to change protective actions based on the combination of all these factors.
If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under offsite plans/procedures, then it must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI to supplement sheltering and evacuation. This decision must be based on the OROs plans/procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAG for KI administration. The KI decision-making process must involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff.
If more than one ORO is involved in decision-making, all appropriate OROs must communicate and coordinate precautionary and/or protective action decisions with each other. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/ communicated with incident command. OROs must demonstrate the capability to communicate the results of decisions to the affected locations.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 2.c - Precautionary and/or Protective Action Decisions Consideration for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities and Access/Functional Needs Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to determine precautionary and/or protective action decisions, including evacuation, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs(e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation-dependent individuals). The focus is on those groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs that are, or potentially will be, affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.
Criterion 2.c.1: Precautionary and/or Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for groups of persons with disabilities and access/functional needs. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, D.4; J.9; J.10.d, e)
Extent of Play Usually it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for incidents where there is a high-risk environmental condition or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, examples of factors must be considered include weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/ communicated with the incident command. In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the ORO must consider use of KI.
Applicable OROs must demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students.
Demonstration requires that the OROs actually contact public school systems/districts during the exercise.
The OROs must demonstrate how the decision-making process takes those with disabilities and access/functional needs (e.g., nursing homes, correctional facilities, licensed day cares, mobility-impaired individuals, and transportation-dependent individuals) into account.
In accordance with plans/procedures, OROs and/or officials of public school systems/districts must demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. The decision-making process, including any preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL, must consider the location of students at the time (e.g., whether the students are still at home, enroute to school, or at school).
Since other agencies place requirements on hospitals to prepare for contaminated patients, the REP Program has no need to evaluate hospitals in the EPZ that need to evacuate, or the facilities that are receiving these evacuees, nor does the ORO have the responsibility to provide training or dosimetry to these hospitals/facilities. Additionally, hospital evacuation plans do not need to be reviewed or tested by the REP program.
All activities associated must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 2.d. -Radiological Assessment and Decision-Making for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the means to assess the radiological consequences for the ingestion exposure pathway, relate them to the appropriate PAGs, and make timely, appropriate protective action decisions to mitigate exposure from the ingestion pathway. During an accident at a nuclear power plant, a release of radioactive material may contaminate water supplies and agricultural products in the surrounding areas.
Any such contamination would likely occur during the plume phase of the accident and, depending on the nature of the release, could impact the ingestion pathway for weeks or years.
Criterion 2.d.1: Radiological consequences for the ingestion pathway are assessed and appropriate protective action decisions are made based on the ORO's planning criteria.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.1, 4; D.4; J.9, 11)
Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) are expected to take precautionary actions to protect food and water supplies, or to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water and food, in accordance with their respective plans/ procedures. Often OROs initiate such actions based on criteria related to the facility's Emergency Classification Levels (ECL). Such actions may include recommendations to place milk animals on stored feed and to use protected water supplies.
The ORO must use its procedures to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water supplies, such as the development of a sampling plan. The OROs assessment should include the evaluation of the radiological analyses of representative samples of water, food, and other ingestible substances of local interest from potentially impacted areas; characterization of the releases from the facility; and the extent of areas potentially impacted by the release. During this assessment, OROs must consider the use of agricultural and watershed data within the 50-mile EPZ. The radiological impacts on the food and water must then be compared to the appropriate ingestion PAGs contained in the ORO's plan/procedures. The plans/ procedures contain PAGs based on specific dose commitment criteria or on criteria as recommended by current Food and Drug Administration guidance. Timely and appropriate recommendations must be provided to the ORO decision-makers group for implementation decisions. OROs may also include a comparison of taking or not taking a given action on the resultant ingestion pathway dose commitments.
The ORO must demonstrate timely decisions to minimize radiological impacts from the ingestion pathway, based on the given assessments and other information. Any such decisions must be communicated and, to the extent practical, coordinated with neighboring and local OROs. These decisions include tracking agricultural products entering and leaving the EPZ. Demonstration of plans and procedures which use traffic access control points to track agricultural products entering and leaving the EPZ may be conducted through interview. OROs should use Federal resources, as identified in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex of the NRF and other resources (e.g., compacts, nuclear insurers), as necessary. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play This sub-element will not be demonstrated during this exercise.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 2.e. - Radiological Assessment and Decision Making Concerning Post-Plume Phase Relocation, Re-entry, and Return Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to make decisions on post-plume relocation, re-entry, and return of the general public. These decisions are essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a nuclear power plant.
Criterion 2.e.1: Timely post-plume phase relocation, re-entry, and return decisions are made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the OROs plan and/or procedures. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, I.10; J.9; K.3.a; M.1)
Extent of Play Relocation: OROs must demonstrate the capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and compare these estimates with PAGs; apply decision criteria for relocation of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated, but where actual or projected doses are in excess of relocation PAGs; and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. OROs will make decisions for relocating members of the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs.
Determination of areas to be restricted must be based on factors such as the mix of radionuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates vs. the PAGs, and analyses of vegetation and soil field samples.
Re-entry: Decisions must be made on the location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and members of the general public who need to temporarily enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.
Examples of control procedures are the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding the individuals objectives, locations expected to be visited and associated time frames; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; and advice on areas to avoid. Control procedures also included monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment; the implementation of decision criteria regarding decontamination; and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.
Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized re-entry of individuals into the restricted zone(s), based on established decision criteria. OROs must demonstrate the capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.g., police patrols), maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and other critical functions. They must demonstrate the capability to use decision-making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons, such as to maintain property (e.g., to care for farm animals or secure machinery for storage), or retrieve important possessions. Coordinated policies for access and exposure control must be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone(s). OROs must demonstrate the capability to establish policies for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowed to re-enter the restricted zone(s). The extent that OROs need to develop policies on re-entry will be determined by scenario events.
SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 103 of 180 8/31/15
SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Return: OROs must demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase (i.e., permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis). OROs must base their decisions on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return.
Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area(s) that is based on the relocation PAG.
Other factors that the ORO must consider in decision-making include conditions that permit the cancellation of the Emergency Classification Level and the relaxation of associated restrictive measures.
OROs must base return recommendations on measurements of radiation from ground deposition. OROs must have the capability to identify services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration. Examples of these services and facilities are medical and social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate-term housing for relocated persons.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 EVALUATION AREA 3: Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.a - Implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimetry and permanent record dosimetry; the reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation exposures in excess of protective action guides, and the capability to provide KI for emergency workers, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as appropriate.
Criterion 3.a.1: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures.
Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. OROs maintain appropriate recordkeeping of the administration of KI to emergency workers. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.3.a, b; K.4)
Extent of Play OROs must demonstrate the capability to provide emergency workers (including supplemental resources) with the appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, KI, and instructions on the use of these items. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent and maximum exposure limits, for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities contained in the OROs plans/procedures.
Each emergency worker must have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plans/procedures. If supplemental resources are used, they must be provided with just-in-time training to ensure basic knowledge of radiation exposure control. Emergency workers must demonstrate procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and manage radiological exposure control.
During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers must demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker must report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans/procedures. OROs must demonstrate the actions described in the plans/procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, authorize the worker to incur additional exposures, or to take other actions. If exercise play does not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators must interview at least two emergency workers to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in case authorization is needed, and at what exposure levels. Workers may use any available resources (e.g., written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.
Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission. In such cases, adequate control of exposure can be affected achieved for all team members using one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate fixed facilities, (e.g., EOCs and communications center within the EPZ, reception centers, and counting laboratories)
SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 105 of 180 8/31/15
SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored using group dosimetry (i.e.,
direct-reading dosimeters strategically placed in the work area). Each team member must still have his or her own permanent record dosimetry. Individuals authorized by the ORO to reenter an evacuated area during the plume (emergency) phase, must be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.
OROs may have administrative limits lower than EPA-400-R-92-001 dose limits for emergency workers performing various services (e.g., lifesaving, protection of valuable property, all activities). ORO must ensure that the process used to seek authorizations for exceeding dose limits does not negatively impact the capability to respond to an incident where lifesaving and/or protection of valuable property may require an urgent response.
OROs must demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI to emergency workers consistent with decisions made. OROs must have the capability to develop and maintain lists of emergency workers who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they did so. Ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI shall not be performed. OROs must demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate instructions on using KI for those advised to take it. Emergency workers must demonstrate basic knowledge of procedures for using KI whether or not the scenario drives the implementation of KI use. This can be accomplished by an interview with an evaluator.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play EPZ EOCs: Dosimetry packets will be issued to two emergency workers in each EPZ EOC. Actual distribution and ingestion of KI will not occur. Empty KI tablet containers (small zip-lock bags) will be included in the dosimetry packets for emergency workers. Knowledge of the use of dosimetry and KI will be demonstrated through an interview of these two individuals by the FEMA Evaluator.
Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA): N/A Note: If, during the exercise, a participant demonstrates this sub-element unsatisfactorily, the FEMA Evaluator will inform the MEMA Controller. After an on the spot training by the local or State representative, the FEMA Evaluator will provide another opportunity to re-demonstrate the activity that day.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 3.b - Implementation of KI Decision for Institutionalized Individuals and the General Public Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to provide KI institutionalized individuals, and, if in the plans/procedures, to the general public for whom immediate evacuation may not be feasible, very difficult, or significantly delayed. While it is necessary for OROs to have the capability to provide KI to institutionalized individuals, providing KI to the general public is an ORO option and must be reflected in OROs plans/procedures. Provisions should include the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and means of the distribution of KI.
Criterion 3.b.1: KI and appropriate instructions are available if a decision to recommend use of KI is made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of KI for institutionalized individuals is maintained. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J. 10.e, f)
Extent of Play Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) must demonstrate the capability to make KI available to institutionalized individuals, and, where provided for in the ORO plans/procedures, to members of the general public. OROs must demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI consistent with decisions made. OROs must have the capability to develop and maintain lists of institutionalized individuals who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s) they were instructed to ingest KI. Ingestion of KI recommended by the designated ORO health official is voluntary. For evaluation purposes, the actual ingestion of KI shall not be performed. OROs must demonstrate the capability to formulate and disseminate instructions on using KI for those advised to take it.
If a recommendation is made for the general public to take KI, appropriate information must be provided to the public by the means of notification specified in the OROs plans/procedures.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play Schools, day cares, and special facility staff who administer KI will be interviewed out-of-sequence by the FEMA Evaluator. The FEMA Evaluator will check the availability of adequate quantities, storage, and means of KI distribution.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 3.cImplementation of Precautionary and/or Protective Actions for Persons with Disabilities and Access/Functional Needs Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement precautionary and/or protective action decisions, including evacuation and/or sheltering, for all persons with disabilities and access/functional needs. The focus is on those persons with disabilities and access/functional needs that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.
Criterion 3.c.1: Precautionary and/or protective action decisions are implemented for persons with disabilities and access/functional needs other than schools within areas subject to protective actions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.c, d, e, g)
Extent of Play Applicable OROs must demonstrate the capability to alert and notify (i.e., provide protective action recommendations and emergency information and instructions to) persons with disabilities and access/functional needs, including hospitals/medical facilities, licensed day cares, nursing homes, correctional facilities, mobility impaired and transportation dependent individuals. OROs must demonstrate the capability to provide for persons with disabilities and access/functional needs in accordance with plans/procedures.
Contact with persons with disabilities and access/functional needs and reception facilities may be actual or simulated, as agreed to in the Extent of Play. Some contacts with transportation providers must be actually contacted, as negotiated in the extent of play. All actual and simulated contacts should be logged.
Since other agencies place requirements on hospitals to prepare for contaminated patients, the REP Program has no need to evaluate hospitals in the EPZ that need to evacuate, or the facilities that are receiving these evacuees, nor does the ORO have the responsibility to provide training or dosimetry to these hospitals/facilities. Additionally, hospital evacuation plans do not need to be reviewed or tested by the REP program.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play Region I: Initial calls to Transportation Providers will be made to verify telephone number and contact person.

(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.c, d, e, g)
Extent of Play School systems/districts (these include public and private schools, kindergartens, and preschools) must demonstrate the ability to implement precautionary and/or protective action decisions for students. The demonstration must be made as follows: Each school system/district within the 10 mile EPZ must demonstrate implementation of protective actions. At least one school per affected system/district must participate in the demonstration. Canceling the school day, dismissing early, or sheltering in place must be simulated by describing to evaluators the procedures that would be followed. If evacuation is the implemented protective action, all activities to coordinate and complete the evacuation of students to reception centers, congregate care centers, or host schools may actually be demonstrated or accomplished through an interview process.
If accomplished through an interview, appropriate school personnel including decision-making officials (e.g., schools superintendent/principals and transportation director/bus dispatchers), and at least one bus driver (and the bus drivers escort, if applicable) must be available to demonstrate knowledge of their role(s) in the evacuation of school children. Communications capabilities between school officials and the buses, if required by the plans/procedures, must be verified.
Officials of the school system(s) must demonstrate the capability to develop and provide timely information to OROs for use in messages to parents, the general public, and the media on the status of protective actions for schools.
If a school facility has emergency plans as a condition of licensing, those plans may be submitted to FEMA review in place of demonstration or interview pursuant to the OROs plans/procedures as negotiated in the Extent of Play Agreement.
Additionally, hospital evacuation plans do not need to be reviewed or tested by the REP program.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 3.d. - Implementation of Traffic and Access Control Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement protective action plans/procedures, including relocation and restriction of access to evacuated/sheltered areas. This sub-element focuses on selecting, establishing, and staffing of traffic and access control points and removal of impediments to the flow of evacuation traffic.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 3.e - Implementation of Ingestion Pathway Decisions Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to implement protective actions, based on criteria recommended by current Food and Drug Administration guidance, for the ingestion pathway EPZ (i.e., the area within an approximate 50-mile radius of the nuclear power plant). This sub-element focuses on those actions required for implementation of protective actions.
Criterion 3.e.1: The ORO demonstrates the availability and appropriate use of adequate information regarding water, food supplies, milk, and agricultural production within the ingestion exposure pathway emergency planning zone for implementation of protective actions.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.1, 4; J.11)
Extent of Play Applicable OROs must demonstrate the capability to secure and use current information on the locations of dairy farms, meat and poultry producers, fisheries, fruit growers, vegetable growers, grain producers, food processing plants, and water supply intake points to implement protective actions within the EPZ. OROs use Federal resources as identified in the NRF Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex, and other resources (e.g.,
compacts, nuclear insurers), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play This criterion will not be demonstrated during this exercise.
Areas Requiring Corrective Actions (ARCA): N/A Criterion 3.e.2: Appropriate measures, strategies, and pre-printed instructional material are developed for implementing protective action decisions for contaminated water, food products, milk, and agricultural production. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, G.1; J.9, 11)
Extent of Play OROs must demonstrate the development of measures and strategies for implementation of ingestion exposure pathway EPZ protective actions by formulating protective action information for the general public and food producers and processors. Demonstration of this criterion includes either pre-distributed public information material in the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ or the capability for the rapid reproduction and distribution of appropriate reproduction-ready information and instructions to pre-determined individuals and businesses.
OROs must also demonstrate the capability to control, restrict or prevent distribution of contaminated food by commercial sectors. Exercise play must include demonstration of communications and coordination among organizations to implement protective actions. Field play of implementation activities may be simulated. For example, communications and coordination with agencies responsible for enforcing food controls within the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ must be demonstrated, but actual communications with food producers and processors may be simulated.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 3.f - Implementation of Post-Plume Phase Relocation, Re-entry, and Return Decisions Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement plans, procedures, and decisions for post-plume phase relocation, re-entry, and return. Implementation of these decisions is essential for protecting the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a commercial nuclear power plant.
Criterion 3.f.1: Decisions regarding controlled re-entry, relocation, and return of individuals during the post-plume phase are coordinated with appropriate organizations and implemented.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.7; J.10.j; J.12; K.5.b; M.1, 3)
Extent of Play Relocation: OROs must demonstrate the capability to coordinate and implement decisions concerning relocation of individuals located in radiologically contaminated areas who were not previously evacuated.
Such individuals must be relocated to an area(s) where radiological contamination will not expose the general public to doses that exceed the relocation PAGs. OROs must also demonstrate the capability to provide for short- or long-term relocation of evacuees who lived in area(s) that have residual radiation levels above the (first-, second-, and 50-year) PAGs.
Areas of consideration must include the capability of OROs to communicate with other OROs regarding timing of actions, notification of the population of procedures for relocation, and the notification of, and advice for, evacuated individuals who will be converted to relocation status in situations where they will not be able to return to their homes due to high levels of contamination. OROs must also demonstrate the capability to communicate instructions to the public regarding relocation decisions and intermediate-term housing for relocated persons.
Re-entry: OROs must demonstrate the capability to control re-entry and exit of individuals who are authorized by the ORO to temporarily re-enter the restricted area during the post-plume (i.e., intermediate or late) phase to protect them from unnecessary radiation exposure. OROs must also demonstrate the capability to control exit of vehicles and equipment to control the spread of contamination outside the restricted area(s). Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must reenter an evacuated area during the post-emergency phase must be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions. Monitoring and decontamination facilities will be established as appropriate.
Examples of control procedure subjects are: (1) the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry for emergency workers; (2) questions regarding the individuals objective(s),
location(s) expected to be visited, and associated timeframes; (3) maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; (4) advice on areas to avoid; (5) procedures for exit, including monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment; (6) decision criteria regarding contamination; (7) proper disposition of emergency worker dosimetry; and (8)maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.
Return: OROs must demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase. OROs must demonstrate the capability to identify and prioritize services and facilities that require restoration within a few days, and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration. Examples of these services and facilities are medical and social services, utilities, roads, and schools.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 EVALUATION AREA 4: Field Measurement And Analysis Sub-element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 indicates that OROs must have the capability to use field monitoring teams within the plume exposure pathway EPZ to detect airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to measure radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume. In an incident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although incident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an incident, it is important to collect field radiological data to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.
Criterion 4.a.1: Reserved Criterion 4.a.2: Field teams (2 or more) are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C.1; H.12; I.7, 8, 11; J.10.a)
Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) must demonstrate the capability to brief field monitoring teams on predicted plume location and direction, plume travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment. During an HAB incident, the field team management must keep the incident command informed of field monitoring teams activities and location. Coordination with field monitoring teams and field monitoring may be demonstrated as out-of-sequence demonstrations, as negotiated in the extent of play agreement.
Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and support the adequacy of implemented protective actions, or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams must be directed to take measurements at such locations and times as necessary to provide sufficient information to characterize the plume and its impacts.
If the responsibility for obtaining peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by OROs monitoring teams. If the licensee field monitoring teams do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the OROs decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all field monitoring teams (licensee, Federal, and ORO) is essential.
OROs will use Federal resources as identified in the NRF Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex and other resources (e.g., compacts or the licensee), as necessary. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

NIAT Field Team personnel will prepare one sample media and the report survey results on the appropriate survey forms to the Field Team Coordinator.
Criterion 4.a.3: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C.1; H.12; I. 8, 9; J.10.a)
Extent of Play Two or more field monitoring teams must demonstrate the capability to make and report measurements ambient radiation to the field team coordinator, dose assessment team, or other appropriate authority. Field monitoring teams must also demonstrate the capability to obtain an air sample for measurement of airborne radioiodine and particulates, and to provide the appropriate authority with field data pertaining to measurement. If samples have radioactivity significantly above background, the authority must consider the need for expedited laboratory analyses of these samples. Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form(s), to a radiological laboratory(ies) must be demonstrated.
OROs must share data in a timely manner with all other appropriate OROs. All methodology, including contamination control, instrumentation, preparation of samples, and a chain-of-custody form(s) for transfer to a laboratory(ies), will be in accordance with the OROs plans/procedures.
OROs will use Federal resources as identified in the NRF Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex and other resources (e.g., compacts or the licensee), as needed. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.
All activities must be must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 4.c - Laboratory Operations Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to perform laboratory analyses of radioactivity in air, liquid, and environmental samples to support protective action decision-making.
Criterion 4.c.1: The laboratory is capable of performing required radiological analyses to support protective action decisions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C.1, 3; J.11)
Extent of Play The laboratory staff must demonstrate the capability to follow appropriate procedures for receiving samples, including logging of information, preventing contamination of the laboratory(ies), preventing buildup of background radiation due to stored samples, preventing cross contamination of samples, preserving samples that may spoil (e.g., milk), and keeping track of sample identity. In addition, the laboratory staff must demonstrate the capability to prepare samples for conducting measurements.
The laboratory(ies) must be appropriately equipped to provide, upon request, timely analyses of media of sufficient quality and sensitivity to support assessments and decisions as anticipated by the OROs plans/procedures. The laboratory instrument calibrations must be traceable to standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Laboratory methods used to analyze typical radionuclides released in a reactor incident should be as described in the plans/procedures. New or revised methods may be used to analyze atypical radionuclide releases (e.g., transuranics or as a result of a terrorist event) or if warranted by incident circumstances. Analysis may require resources beyond those of the ORO.
The laboratory staff must be qualified in radioanalytical techniques and contamination control procedures.

Specific provisions addressed in this sub-element are further discussed in Section V, Part A of the REP manual, Alert and Notification Systems.
Exhibit III-4: Evaluation Standards for Alert and Notification Systems Demonstration In a Timely Manner Within 45 Minutes Within a Reasonable Criteria: Time Primary Alert and Notification 5.a.1: covering essentially 100% of the x 10-mile EPZ 5.a.4: for FEMA-approved exception x areas Backup Alert and Notification for All Incidents 5.a.3: covering the x 10-mile EPZ Criterion 5.a.1: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current REP guidance. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E.5, 6,7)
Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) must demonstrate the capability to sequentially provide an alert signal followed by an initial instructional message to populated areas (permanent resident and transient) throughout the 10-mile plume pathway EPZ. Following the decision to activate the alert and notification system, OROs must complete system activation for primary alert/notification and disseminate the information/instructions in a timely manner. For exercise purposes, timely is defined as with a sense of urgency and without undue delay. If message dissemination is identified as not having been accomplished in a timely manner, the evaluator(s) will document a specific delay or cause as to why a message was not considered timely.
Procedures to broadcast the message must be fully demonstrated as they would in an actual emergency up to the point of transmission. Broadcast of the message(s) or test messages is not required. The procedures must be demonstrated up to the point of actual activation. The alert signal activation should be simulated, not performed. Evaluations of EAS broadcast stations may also be accomplished through SAVs.
The capability of the primary notification system to broadcast an instructional message on a 24-hour basis must be verified during an interview with appropriate personnel from the primary notification system, including verification of provisions for backup power or an alternate station.
The initial message must include at a minimum the following elements:
SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 121 of 180 8/31/15
SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Identification of the ORO responsible and the official with authority for providing the alert signal and instructional message; Identification of the commercial Nuclear Power Plant and a statement that an emergency exists there; Reference to REP-specific emergency information (e.g., brochures, calendars, and/or information in telephone books) for use by the general public during an emergency; and A closing statement asking that the affected and potentially affected populations stay tuned for additional information, or that the population tune to another station for additional information.
If route alerting is demonstrated as a primary method of alert and notification, it must be done in accordance with the OROs plans/procedures and the extent of play agreement. OROs must demonstrate the capability to accomplish the primary route alerting in a timely manner (not subject to specific time requirements). At least one route needs to be demonstrated and evaluated. The selected route(s) must vary from exercise to exercise. However, the most difficult route(s) must be demonstrated no less than once every 8 years. All alert and notification activities along the route(s) must be simulated (that is, the message that would actually be used is read for the evaluator, but not actually broadcast) as negotiated in the extent of play. Actual testing of the mobile public address system will be conducted at an agreed-upon location.
OROs must demonstrate any means of primary alert and notification included in their plans/procedures as negotiated in the extent of play agreement.
All activities for this criterion must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, except as noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play The sounding of the sirens and broadcast of EAS/News Releases will be simulated. EAS/News Releases will be formulated and distributed by the Massachusetts State EOC. Activation of the EAS system will be coordinated with New Hampshire officials. Actions to demonstrate performance of initial notification of the public will be performed up to the point of actual transmission of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) message. The EAS message will be prepared/ encoded by MEMA. EAS radio station WBZ (1030 AM) will be initially contacted and faxed a copy of a standard test message. The EAS stations will return the fax to the Public Affairs Officer to ensure receipt of fax. Broadcast of EAS messages/News Releases will be simulated.

Extent of Play SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 122 of 180 8/31/15
SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 If the exercise scenario calls for failure of any portion of the primary system(s) or if any portion of the primary system(s) actually fails to function during the exercise, OROs must demonstrate backup means of alert and notification. Backup means of alert and notification will differ from facility to facility.
Backup alert and notification procedures that would be implemented in multiple stages must be structured such that the population closest to the plant (e.g., within 2 miles) is alerted and notified first.
The populations farther away and downwind of any potential radiological release would be covered sequentially (e.g., 2 to 5 miles, followed by downwind 5 to 10 miles, and finally the remaining population as directed by authorities). Topography, population density, existing ORO resources, and timing will be considered in judging the acceptability of backup means of alert and notification.
Although circumstances may not allow this for all situations, FEMA and the NRC recommend that OROs and operators attempt to establish backup means that will reach those in the plume exposure EPZ within a reasonable time of failure of the primary alert and notification system, with a recommended goal of 45 minutes. The backup alert message must, at a minimum, include: (1) a statement that an emergency exists at the plant; and (2) instructions regarding where to obtain additional information.
When backup route alerting is demonstrated, only one route needs to be selected and demonstrated. All alert and notification activities along the route(s) must be simulated (that is, the message that would actually be used is read for the evaluator, but not actually broadcast), as negotiated in the extent of play.
Actual testing of the mobile public address system will be conducted at an agreed-upon location.
OROs may demonstrate any means of backup alert and notification included in their plans/procedures as negotiated in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.
All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of- Play Agreement.
Massachusetts Extent of Play Code Red is the backup notification system for Seabrook Station EPZ. It will not be used unless the primary alert and notification system has failed. If used, Code Red will only be sent to test recipients to simulate the notification of the general population in the EPZ.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 5.b - Subsequent Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to disseminate appropriate emergency information and instructions, including any recommended protective actions, to the public. In addition, NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 requires that OROs to ensure that the capability exists for providing information to the media. This includes the availability of a physical location for use by the media during an emergency.
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 also provides that a system should be available for dealing with rumors.
This system will hereafter be known as the public inquiry hotline.
Criterion 5.b.1: OROs provide accurate subsequent emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, E. 5, 7; G.3.a, G.4.a, c)
Extent of Play The responsible ORO personnel/representatives must demonstrate actions to provide emergency information and instructions to the public and media in a timely manner following the initial alert and notification (not subject to specific time requirements). For exercise purposes, timely is defined as with a sense of urgency and without undue delay. If message dissemination is identified as not having been accomplished in a timely manner, the evaluator(s) will document a specific delay or cause as to why a message was not considered timely.
Message elements: The ORO must ensure that emergency information and instructions are consistent with protective action decisions made by appropriate officials. The emergency information must contain all necessary and applicable instructions (e.g., evacuation instructions, evacuation routes, reception center locations, what to take when evacuating, shelter-in-place instructions, information concerning protective actions for schools and persons with disabilities and access/functional needs, and public inquiry hotline telephone number) to assist the public in carrying out protective action decisions provided. The ORO must also be prepared to disclose and explain the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) of the incident. At a minimum, this information must be included in media briefings and/or media releases. OROs must demonstrate the capability to use language that is clear and understandable to the public within both the plume and ingestion exposure pathway EPZs. This includes demonstration of the capability to use familiar landmarks and boundaries to describe protective action areas.
The emergency information must be all-inclusive by including the four items specified under exercise Demonstration Criterion 5.a.1 and previously identified protective action areas that are still valid, as well as new areas. Information about any rerouting of evacuation routes due to impediments should also be included.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 EVALUATION AREA 6: Support Operation/Facilities Sub-element 6.a - Monitoring, Decontamination and Registration of Evacuees Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of evacuees, while minimizing contamination of the facility. OROs must also have the capability to identify and register evacuees at reception centers.
Criterion 6.a.1: The reception center facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, A.3; C.4; J.10.h; J.12)
Extent of Play Radiological monitoring, decontamination, and registration facilities for evacuees must be set up and demonstrated as they would be in an actual emergency or as indicated in the extent of play agreement.
OROs conducting this demonstration must have 1/3 of the resources (e.g., monitoring teams/instrumentation/portal monitors) available at the facility(ies) as necessary to monitor 20% of the population within a 12-hour period. This would include adequate space for evacuees vehicles.
Availability of resources can be demonstrated with valid documentation (e.g., MOU/LOA, etc.) reflecting how necessary equipment would be procured for the location. Plans/procedures must indicate provisions for service animals.
Before using monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) must demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. Staff responsible for the radiological monitoring of evacuees must demonstrate the capability to attain and sustain, within about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, a monitoring productivity rate per hour needed to monitor the 20% emergency planning zone (EPZ) population planning base. The monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored, per hour, by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate procedure. For demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities, a minimum of six individuals per monitoring station must be monitored per station using equipment and procedures specified in the plans/procedures. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoring team will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine whether the twelve-hour requirement can be met.
OROs must demonstration the capability to register evacuees upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities. The activities for recording radiological monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination must include establishing a registration record consisting of the evacuees name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontamination (if any), or as otherwise designated in the plan and/or procedures. Audio recorders, camcorders or written records are all acceptable means for registration.
Monitoring activities shall not be simulated. Monitoring personnel must explain use of trigger/action levels for determining the need for decontamination. They must also explain the procedures for referring any evacuees who cannot be adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow-up in accordance with the OROs plans/procedures. All activities must be based on the OROs plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the extent of play agreement.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 6.b - Monitoring and Decontamination of Emergency Workers and their Equipment and Vehicles Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency workers and their equipment, inclusive of vehicles.
Criterion 6.b.1: The facility/ORO has adequate procedures and resources to accomplish monitoring and decontamination of emergency workers and their equipment and vehicles.
(NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.5.a, b)
Extent of Play The monitoring staff must demonstrate the capability to monitor emergency worker personnel and their equipment and vehicles for contamination in accordance with the Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) plans/procedures.
Specific attention must be given to equipment, including any vehicles that were in contact contamination.
The monitoring staff must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of personnel, equipment, and vehicles, based on trigger/action levels and procedures stated in the OROs plans/procedures. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the 12-hour requirement.
However, appropriate monitoring procedures must be demonstrated for a minimum of 2 emergency workers and their equipment and vehicles. Before using monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) must demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation.
The area to be used for monitoring and decontamination must be set up as it would be in an actual emergency, with all route markings, instrumentation, record keeping and contamination control measures in place. Monitoring procedures must be demonstrated for a minimum of one vehicle. It is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface of vehicles. However, the capability to monitor areas such as radiator grills, bumpers, wheel wells, tires, and door handles must be demonstrated. Interior surfaces of vehicles that were in contact with contaminated individuals must also be checked.
Decontamination of emergency workers may be simulated and conducted via interview. Provisions for separate showering and same-sex decontamination must be demonstrated or explained. The staff must demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination. Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (e.g., partitions, roped -off areas)to separate uncontaminated from potentially contaminated and uncontaminated individuals where applicable; provide changes of clothing for those with contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further contamination of emergency workers or facilities.
OROs must demonstrate the capability to register emergency workers upon completion of the monitoring and decontamination activities. The activities for recording radiological monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination must include establishing a registration record consisting of the emergency workers name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontamination (if any), or as otherwise designated in the plan and/or procedures. Audio recorders, camcorders, or written records are all acceptable means for registration.

SEABROOK NUCLEAR POWER STATION EXERCISE - April 5, 2016 Sub-element 6.c - Temporary Care of Evacuees Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) to have the capability to establish relocation centers in host/support jurisdictions. The American Red Cross normally provides congregate care in support of OROs under existing letters of agreement.
Criterion 6.c.1: Managers of congregate care facilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines. Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.h, J.12)
Extent of Play The evaluator must conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with applicable guidance.
For planning purposes, OROs must plan for a sufficient number of congregate care centers in host/support jurisdictions based on their all-hazard sheltering experience and what is historically relevant for that particular area. In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations as they would be in an actual emergency. Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this criterion, exercise demonstration expectations must be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.
Congregate care staff must also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees, service animals, and vehicles have been monitored for contamination, decontaminated as appropriate, and registered before entering the facility.
Individuals arriving at congregate care facilities must have means (e.g., hand stamp, sticker, bracelet, form, etc.) indicating that they, and their service animal and vehicles, where applicable, have been placed in a secured area or monitored, cleared, and found to have no contamination or contamination below the trigger/action level.
In accordance with plans/procedures, individuals found to be clean after monitoring do not need to have their vehicle monitored. These individuals do not need confirmation that their vehicle is free from contamination prior to entering the congregate care areas.
However, those individuals who are found to be contaminated and are then decontaminated will have their vehicles held in a secure area until they can be monitored or decontaminated (if applicable) and do need confirmation that their vehicle is being held in a secure area or free from contamination prior to entering the congregate care areas. This capability may be determined through an interview process.
If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (e.g.,
cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility(ies).
However, availability of such items must be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Sub-element 6.d - Transportation and Treatment of Contaminated Injured Individuals Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities with the capability to provide medical services.
Criterion 6.d.1: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, F.2; H.10; K.5.a, b; L.1, 4)
Extent of Play Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts must not delay urgent medical care for the victim.
FEMA has determined that these capabilities have been enhanced and consistently demonstrated as adequate; therefore, offsite medical services drills need only be evaluated biennially.
Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) must demonstrate the capability to monitor/decontaminate and transport contaminated, injured individuals to medical facilities.
An ambulance must be used for the response to the victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended time, OROs may use any vehicle (e.g., car, truck, or van) to transport the victim to the medical facility. It is allowable for an ambulance to demonstrate up to the point of departure for the medical facility and then have a non-specialized vehicle transport the victim(s) to the medical facility. This option is used in areas where removing an ambulance from service to drive a great distance (over an hour) for a drill would not be in the best interests of the community.
Normal communications between the ambulance/dispatcher and the receiving medical facility must be demonstrated. If a substitute vehicle is used for transport to the medical facility, this communication must occur before releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation monitoring results, if available. In addition, the ambulance crew must demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew would be monitored and decontaminated, if required, or whom to contact for such information.
Monitoring of the victim may be performed before transport or enroute, or may be deferred to the medical facility. Contaminated injured individuals transported to medical facilities are monitored as soon as possible to assure that everyone (ambulance and medical facility) is aware of the medical and radiological status of the individual(s). However, if an ambulance defers monitoring to the medical facility, then the ambulance crew presumes that the patient(s) is contaminated and demonstrate appropriate contamination controls until the patient(s) is monitored. Before using monitoring instruments, the monitor(s) must demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities must be completed as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate contamination control measures must be demonstrated before and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.
The medical facility must demonstrate the capability to activate and set up a radiological emergency area for treatment. Medical facilities are expected to have at least one trained physician and one trained nurse to perform and supervise treatment of contaminated injured individuals. Equipment and supplies must be available for the treatment of contaminated injured individuals.
The medical facility must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and maintain records of all survey measurements SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 133 of 180 8/31/15

Criterion 1.b.1: Facilities are sufficient to support the emergency response. (NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, G.3.a; H.3; J.10.h; J.12; K.5.b)
Assessment/Extent of Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a biennial exercise, an actual event, SAVs, or by out-of-sequence demonstration.
Responsible OROs must demonstrate, no less than once every 8 years, the availability of facilities to support accomplishment of emergency operations. (this includes all alternate and backup facilities).
Evaluations are typically performed for EOCs and JICs, as well other facilities such as reception/relocation centers. Some of the areas evaluated within the facilities are: adequate space, furnishings, lighting, restrooms, ventilation, backup power and/or alternate facility if required to support operations. Radio stations, laboratories, initial warning points and hospitals are not evaluated under 1.b.1.
In addition, facilities will be evaluated for this during the first biennial exercise after any new or substantial changes in structure, equipment, or mission that affect key capabilities, as outlined in respective emergency plans/procedures. A substantial change is one that has a direct affect or impact on emergency response operations performed I those facilities. Examples of substantial changes include modifying the size or configuration of an emergency operations center, adding more function to a center, or changing the equipment available for use in a center.
Facilities must be set up based on the ORO's plans and procedures and as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Sub-element 1.eEquipment and Supplies to Support Operations Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654 FEMA REP-1, which requires that OROs have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.
Criterion 1.e.1: Equipment, maps, displays, monitoring instruments, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations. (NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1, H.7,10; I.7, 8, 9;J.10.a, b, e; J.10,a,b,c; J.11, 12; K.3.a; K.5.b)
Assessment/Extent of Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion is accomplished primarily through a baseline evaluation and subsequent periodic inspections.
A particular facilitys equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with that facilitys assigned role the ORO's emergency operations plans. Use of maps and other displays is encouraged. For non-facility-based operations, the equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with the assigned operational role. At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed appropriate equipment (e.g. vehicles, barriers, traffic cones, and signs) must be available, or their availability described.
Specific equipment and supplies that must be demonstrated under this criterion include KI inventories, dosimetry, and monitoring equipment, as follows; KI: Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by; (1) emergency workers; (2) institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and (3) where stipulated by the plan/procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make KI available to specialized response teams (e.g. civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures. The plans/procedures must include the forms to be used for documenting emergency worker ingestion of KI, as well as a mechanism for identifying workers that have declined KI in advance.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Dosimetry: Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers must be available for issuance to all emergency workers who will be dispatched to perform an ORO mission. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make dosimetry available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue and bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures).
Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry must allow an individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the OROs plans/procedures.
Direct-reading dosimeters must be zeroed or operationally checked prior to issuance. The dosimeters must be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replaced when necessary. Civil Defense Victoreen Model 138s (CDV-138s) (0-200mR), due to their documented history of leakage problems, must be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly and replaced as necessary. This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV. Operational checks and testing of electronic dosimeters must be in accordance with the Manufacturers instructions and be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.
Monitoring Instruments: All instruments must be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. Instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the manufactures recommendations must be calibrated annually, Modified CDV-700 instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer. A label indicating such calibration must be on each instrument or calibrated frequency can be verified by other means. In addition, instruments being used to measure activity must have a sticker-affixed to their sides indicating the effective range of the readings. The range of readings documentation specifies the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source.
For FMTs, the instruments must be capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting beta radiation. These instruments must be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the OROs plans/procedures.
An appropriate radioactive check source must be used to verify proper operational response for each low-range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1R/hr.) and for high-range instruments when available. If a source is not available for high range instrument, a procedures must exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range can make useful readings. In areas where portal monitors are used, the OROs must set up and operationally check the monitor(s). The monitor(s) must conform to the standards set forth in the Contamination Monitoring Standard for a portal monitor Used for Emergency Response, FEMA-REP-21 (March 1995) or in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station EVALUATION AREA 2: Protective Action Decision-making Sub-element 2.aEmergency Worker Exposure Control Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654 FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to assess and control the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specified in the ORO's plans/ procedures to authorize emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.
Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers are the recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates that emergency workers may be permitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration TEDE or organ-specific limits) identified in the ORO's plans/ procedures.
Criterion 2.a.1: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, C.6; f; K.3.a; K.4,)
Assessment/Extent of Play Assessment of this criterion must be assessed concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a biennial or tabletop exercise.
OROs authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway EPZ must demonstrate a capability to comply with emergency worker exposure limits based on their emergency plans/procedures.
Participating OROs must also demonstrate the capability to make decisions concerning the authorization of exposure levels in excess of pre-authorized levels and the number of emergency workers receiving radiation dose above pre-authorized levels. This would include providing KI and dosimetry in a timely manner to emergency workers dispatched onsite to support plant incident assessment and mitigating actions, in accordance with respective plans/procedures.
As appropriate, OROs must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI, as a protective measure for emergency workers, based on their plans/procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAGs for KI administration.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have the capability to independently project integrated dose from projected or actual dose rates and compare these estimates to the PAGs. OROs must have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency. Such as plant conditions, licensee PARs, coordination of precautionary and/or protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (e.g.
other affected OROs and incident command). Availability of in-place shelter, weather conditions, to include HAB incidents, the threat posed by the specific hostile action, the affiliated response, and the effect of an evacuation on the threat response effort that create higher than normal risk from general population evacuation.
Criterion 2.b.1: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections, as well as knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, I.10 & Supplement 3)
Assessment/Extent of Play Assessment of this Demonstration criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a biennial or tabletop exercise.
During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective actions, the ORO must demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan/procedures, to develop PARs for decision-makers based on available information and recommendations provided by the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.
The ORO must also consider any release and meteorological data provided by the licensee. The ORO must demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated.
Projected doses must be related to quantities and units of the PAGs to which they will be compared.
PARs must be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.
When the licensee and ORO projected doses differ by more than a factor of 10 the ORO and licensee must determine the source difference by discussing input data and assumptions, using different models, or exploring possible reasons. Resolution of these differences must be incorporated into the PARs if timely and appropriate. The ORO must demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Assessment /Extent of Play Assessment of this demonstration must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a biennial or tabletop exercise.
OROs must have the capability to make both initial and subsequent precautionary and/or protective action decisions. OROs must demonstrate the capability to make initial precautionary and/or protective action decisions in a timely manner appropriate to the incident, based upon information from the licensee, assessment of plant status and potential or actual releases, other available information related to the incident, input from appropriate ORO authorities (e.g., incident command), an PARs from the utility and ORO staff. In addition, a subsequent or alternate precautionary and/or protective action decision may be appropriate if various conditions (e.g., an HAB incident, weather, release timing and magnitude) pose undue risk to an evacuation, or if evacuation may disrupt the efforts to respond to a hostile action.
OROs must demonstrate the ability to obtain supplemental resources (e.g., mutual aid) necessary to implement a precautionary and/or protective action decision if local law enforcement, fire service, HAZMAT, and emergency medical resources are used to augment response to the NPP site or other key infrastructure.
Dose assessment personnel may provide additional PARs based upon the subsequent dose projections, field monitoring data, or information on plant conditions. In addition, incident command must provide input regarding considerations for subsequent PARs based on the magnitude of the ongoing threat, the response, and/or site conditions. The decision- makers must demonstrate the capability to change protective actions based on the combination of all these factors. If the ORO has determined that KI will be used as a protective measure for the general public under offsite plans/procedures, then it must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the distribution and administration of KI to supplement sheltering and evacuation. This decision must be based on the OROs plans/procedures or projected thyroid dose compared with the established PAG for KI administration. The KI decision-making process must involve close coordination with appropriate assessment and decision-making staff. If more than one ORO is involved in decision making, all appropriate OROs must communicate and coordinate precautionary and/or protective action decisions with each other. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/communicated with incident command. OROs must demonstrate the capability to communicate the results of decisions to all the affected locations.

Assessment/Extent of Play Assessment of this demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a biennial or tabletop exercise that would include the use of plant conditions transmitted from the licensee.
Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for incidents where there is a high-risk environmental condition or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, factors that must be considered are: weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In addition, decisions must be coordinated/communicated with the incident command, In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the ORO must consider use of KI.
Applicable OROs must demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students.

We expect that the ORO will take precautionary actions to protect food and water supplies, or to minimize exposure to potentially contaminated water and food, in accordance with their respective plans and procedures. Often such precautionary actions are initiated by the OROs based on criteria related to the facilitys emergency classification levels (ECL). Such action may include recommendations to place milk animals on stored feed and to use protected water supplies.
The ORO should use its procedures (for example, development of a sampling plan) to assess the radiological consequences of a release on the food and water supplies.

These decisions are essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe incident at a NPP.
Criterion 2.e.1: Timely post-plume phase relocation, re-entry, and return decisions are made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the OROs plans/procedures. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, I.10; J.9; K.3.a; M.1)
ASSESSMENT/EXTENT OF PLAY Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion must be accomplished concurrently with a licensee exercise and may be demonstrated in a biennial or tabletop exercise that would include the use of plant conditions transmitted from the licensee.
Relocation: OROs must demonstrate the capability to estimate integrated dose in contaminated areas and to compare these estimates with PAGs, apply decision criteria for relocation of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated, but where actual or projected doses are in excess of relocation PAGs; and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. OROs will make decisions are for relocating members of the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs. Determination of areas to be restricted must be based on factors such as the mix of radionuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates vs. the PAGs, and analysis of vegetation and soil samples.
Re-entry: Decisions must be made on location of control points and policies regarding access and exposure control for emergency workers and members of the general public who need to temporarily enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.
Examples of control procedures are the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding an individuals objectives and locations expected to be visited, and associated time frames; availability of maps and plots of radiation exposure rates; and advice on areas to avoid. Control procedures also include monitoring of individuals, vehicles, and equipment, the implementation decision criteria regarding decontamination; and proper disposition of emergency worker dosimeters and maintenance of emergency worker radiation exposure records.
Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized reentry of individuals into the restricted zone(s), based on established decision criteria. OROs must demonstrate the capability to modify those policies for security purposes (e.g., police patrols),
maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and other critical functions.

Coordinated policies for access and exposure control must be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone(s). OROs must demonstrate the capability to establish polices for provision of dosimetry to all individuals allowed to re-enter the restricted zone(s). The extent to which OROs need to develop policies on re-entry will be determined by scenario events.,
Return: OROs must demonstrate the capability to implement policies concerning return of members of the public to areas that were evacuated during the plume phase i.e., permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and business on an unrestricted basis). OROs must base decisions on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return.
Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area(s) that is based on the relocation PAG.
Other factors that the ORO must consider in decision making include conditions that permit the cancellation of the ECL and relaxation of associated restrictive measures. OROs must base return recommendations on measurements of radiation from ground deposition.

ASSESSMENT/EXTENT OF PLAY Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a biennial or tabletop exercise. Other means may include drills, seminars or training activities that would fully demonstrate technical proficiency, OROs must demonstrate the capability to provide emergency workers (including supplemental resources) with the appropriate direct reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimetry chargers, KI, and instructions on the use of these items. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of TEDE and maximum exposure limits, for those emergency workers involved in life saving activities contained in the OROs plans/procedures. If supplemental resources are used, they must be provided with just in time training to ensure basic knowledge of radiation exposure control.
During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency worker must report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated in the plans/procedures. OROs must demonstrate the actions described in the plans/procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, authorize the worker to incur additional exposures or to take other actions. If exercise play does not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators must interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in case authorization is needed and at what exposure levels. Workers may use any available resources (e.g. written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.
Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission. In such cases adequate control of exposure can be achieved for all team members using one direct-reading dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers who are assigned to low exposure rate fixed facilities (e.g. EOCs, communication center within the EPZ, reception centers, counting laboratories) may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored using group dosimeters (i.e.
direct-reading dosimeters strategically placed in the work area). Each team member must still have his/or her own permanent record dosimetry.
Individuals authorized by the ORO to reenter an evacuated area during the plume (emergency) phase, must be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their mission.

(NUREG-0654, M.1., 3.)
INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should demonstrate the capability to implement plans, procedures, and decisions for relocation, re-entry, and return.
Implementation of these decisions is essential for the protection of the public from the direct long-term exposure to deposited radioactive materials from a severe accident at a commercial nuclear power plant.
ASSESSMENT/EXTENT OF PLAY Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a biennial, or a tabletop exercise, or by means of drills conducted at any time.
Relocation: OROs must demonstrate the capability to coordinate and implement decisions concerning relocation of individuals, located in radiologically contaminated areas who were not previously evacuated. Such individuals must be relocated to an area(s) where radiological contamination will not expose the general public to doses that exceed the relocation PAGs. OROs must also demonstrate the capability to provide for short- or long-term relocation of evacuees who lived in area(s) that has residual radiation levels above the (first-, second-, and fifty-year) PAGs.
Areas of consideration must include the capability of OROs to communicate with other OROs regarding timing of actions, notification of the population of the procedures for relocation, and the notification of, and advice for, evacuated individuals who will be converted to relocation status in situations where they will not be able to return to their Homes, due to high levels of contamination.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station EVALUATION AREA 4: Field Measurement and Analysis Sub-element 4.aPlume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses Intent This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that offsite response organizations (ORO) should have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from an airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within the plume emergency planning zone to measure airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and to detect radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume.
In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. This does not imply that plume exposure projections should be made from the field data. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.
Criterion 4.a.1: The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates. (NUREG-0654, H.10; I.7, 8, 9)
Extent of Play Field teams should be equipped with all instrumentation and supplies necessary to accomplish their mission. This should include instruments capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting the presence of beta radiation. These instruments should be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on the air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the OROs plans and procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source should be used to verify proper operational response for each low range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1 R/hr) and for high range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high range instrument, a procedure should exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range instrument can make useful readings.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
MEMA Extent of Play N/A to Maine Criterion 4.a.2: Field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure. (NUREG-0654, H.12; I.8, 11; J.10.a)
SEABROOK EOP Rev. 0 Page 161 of 180 8/31/15
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Seabrook Station Extent of Play Responsible Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) should demonstrate the capability to brief teams on predicted plume location and direction, travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment.
Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protective actions or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such locations, at such times to provide information sufficient to characterize the plume and impacts.
If the responsibility to obtain peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by State and local monitoring teams. If the licensee teams do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the OROs decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all field teams (licensee, Federal, and ORO) is essential. Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form, to a radiological laboratory should be demonstrated.
OROs should use Federal resources as identified in the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), and other resources (e.g., compacts, utility, etc.), if available. Evaluation of this criterion will take into consideration the level of Federal and other resources participating in the exercise.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
MEMA Extent of Play N/A to Maine Criterion 4.a.3: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media. (NUREG-0654, I. 9)
Extent of Play Field teams should demonstrate the capability to report measurements and field data pertaining to the measurement of airborne radioiodine and particulates and ambient radiation to the field team coordinator, dose assessment, or other appropriate authority. If samples have radioactivity significantly above background, the appropriate authority should consider the need for expedited laboratory analyses of these samples. OROs should share data in a timely manner with all appropriate OROs. All methodology, including contamination control, instrumentation, preparation of samples, and a chain-of-custody form for transfer to a laboratory, will be in accordance with the OROs plan and/or procedures.
