AAR                                                        2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Executive Summary On November 29, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP). The evaluation of out of sequence activities during the week of October 11-13, and 26, 2011 is included in this report. The activities included: Traffic control points (TCP); protective actions for schools; reception and congregate care centers; emergency worker and vehicle monitoring and decontamination.
The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on March 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 28, 1987.
Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina; the risk counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region II; and Progress Energy as well as numerous volunteers participated in this exercise. FEMA Region IV also played in the exercise by providing response liaison personnel to the State of North Carolina, which contributed to exercise realism. The cooperation and teamwork of the participants was evident throughout all phases of the exercise. FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated and made the exercise a success.
State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. FEMA did not identify any Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during this exercise. The strength of the working relationships between the various State and local first responder agencies in their mission planning and execution abilities throughout all phases of the exercise was obvious, and confirmed the success of the Harris Task Force organizational structure. The Harris Task Force, co-chaired by representatives from both North Carolina Emergency Management and Progress Energy, has proven to be an excellent example of public and private agency cooperation.

AAR                                                        2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1    Exercise Purpose and Design DHS/FEMA administers the REP Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) parts 350, 351 and 352. 44 CFR 350 codifies 16 planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for licensee, State, tribal and local governments impacted by the EPZs established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States. 44 CFR 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of State, Tribal and local government RERPs and procedures by DHS/FEMA. One of the REP program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities. During these exercises State, Tribal and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.
The results of this exercise together with review of the RERPs and procedures and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 through the Annual Letter of Certification and staff assistance visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the NRC that State, Tribal and local plans and preparedness are (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.
On March 28, 1988, the State of North Carolina formally submitted the RERP for the HNP to FEMA Region IV. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on April 29, 1989 in accordance with 44 CFR 350.
A REP exercise was evaluated on November 29, 2011, and included evaluations of the following out-of-sequence activities held from October 11 through 13, 2011, and on October 26, 2011:
* Chatham County: Emergency worker and equipment monitoring and decontamination at Pittsboro Fire Department, Old Graham Road Fire Station on October 11, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Northwood High School on October 13, 2011.
* Wake County: Protective actions for schools at Fuquay-Varina Senior High School on March 21, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Garner Magnet High School on October 26, 2011. Medical Services Drill (MS-1) at Hospital October 12, 2011.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
AAR                                                          2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 2.2    FEMA Exercise Objectives and Capabilities Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all FEMA Region IV REP Program objectives and observations in this exercise.
* Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination (MAC) for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. EOC management includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, State, and Federal EOCs; coordination public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.
* Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.
* Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place: Is the capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals), and/or the organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population (and companion animals) to areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.
* Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire and EMS.
* Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources or Section 2: Exercise Design Summary                                            2011 HNP REP Exercise 12
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
AAR                                                          2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.
* Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment: Is the capability to appropriately dispatch EMS resources; to provide feasible, suitable, and medically acceptable pre-hospital triage and treatment of patients; to provide transport as well as medical care en-route to an appropriate receiving facility; and to track patients to a treatment facility.
* Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the ARC, or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special-needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs addressed by the medical community and/or its alternate care facilities. State and Federal entities also play a role in public and environmental health by ensuring safe conditions, safe food, potable water, sanitation, clean air, etc.
* Public Health Laboratory Testing: The Public Health Laboratory Testing capability is the ongoing surveillance, rapid detection, confirmatory testing, data reporting, investigative support, and laboratory networking to address potential exposure, or known exposure, to all-hazards which include chemical, radiochemical, and biological agents in all matrices including clinical specimens, food and environmental samples, (e.g., water, air, soil). All-hazard threats include those deliberately released with criminal intent, as well as those that may be present as a result of unintentional or natural occurrences.
Additionally, each capability is linked to several corresponding activities and tasks to provide additional detail. Based upon the identified exercise objectives, the following capabilities and associated activities are:

AAR                                                          2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Emergency instructions for the public in response to the incident at HNP were prepared, coordinated and disseminated in accordance with Annexes C and E of the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan. Following concurrence between the State and risk counties on protective action decisions (PAD) for the public, the SERT transmitted the appropriate EAS message to broadcast radio stations via the EMnet system for broadcast at the agreed upon time. Secondary notification was accomplished by faxing the message to the National Weather Service (NWS) for broadcast over the NWS radio system, received by tone alert radios.
The preparation and dissemination of emergency information was accomplished at the JIC. Prior to release, the JIC writers provided draft information releases to the SERT PIO for proof reading and editing of information prior to approval by the SERT Leader. The information releases were then returned to the JIC for final dissemination.
For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1 3.2.1.2 Central Branch Office The CBO demonstrated the capability to effectively activate and manage the RCC through the activation and deployment of selected staff to liaise with the utility, support the joint information effort and coordinate jurisdictional response requirements. While the CBO-RCC effectively executed its responsibilities, two notable actions stood out.
First, the CBO-RCC uniquely involved counties in the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ), counties not normally involved in plume phase exercises, through the provision of periodic situational updates. This action recognized that the CBO-RCC responsibilities extend to a greater population than in the four risk counties.
Secondly, the CBO-RCC demonstrated its attention to detail and analysis of requirements when they questioned the viability of a selected equipment relocation staging area. This action also helped identify the need for increased dissemination of selected operating guidelines within the response community.

During the exercise, the RPS staffed all key positions and was operational by 0930. The primary method of communications in the SEOC was landline phones and face-to-face communications within the SEOC. Communications with the Field Monitoring Teams (FMT), Sample courier, SERT Power Plant Liaison at the HNP Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Mobile Laboratory were through the 800 MHz radio system. The FMTs were well equipped, knowledgeable of their procedures and use of survey and air sampling equipment while in the field. They were positioned to detect any releases from the plant and moved accordingly to anticipate any changes in the path of plume travel away from the plant due to changing meteorological conditions. They reported back all requested survey and air sample data in a timely manner.
Dose Assessment personnel continuously monitored the electronic data from the HNP and performed timely dose projections based upon updated data and information from the EOF. The Director RPS provided timely and effective PARs to the SERT Leader based collectively on plant conditions, dose projections, FMT readings and PARs from the plant. When discussing these protective actions with the risk counties, all parties agreed to add several more zones for evacuation based upon local conditions identified on the conference call. Projected exposure information was also provided and discussed with the Department of Public Health concerning radioactive Iodine dose projections which resulted in a recommendation for issuance of KI to both Emergency Workers (EW) and the General Public.
For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 1.c.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.1 and 2.b.2 3.2.1.4 Fixed Laboratory Public Health Laboratory Testing Capability Summary:

The Chain of Custody form was signed and a copy was retained by the Laboratory. Procedures were followed to measure the sample bag contact dose rate. The RPS Sample Control located at the Mobile Laboratory screen, prepare and package samples for transfer to the Fixed Laboratory by the Sample Courier. Procedures were in place to record and track all samples, using a bar code system.
The Fixed Laboratory was equipped with three gas filled Proportional Counters (Canberra Tennelec Series 5) to perform gross alpha or beta-gamma counting of air sample cartridges, filter papers and wipes. One of these counters also had the capability to do gamma spectrometry using a sodium iodide detector. It was new and not yet in operation.
The Laboratory also had two operating Canberra High Purity Germanium Detectors (HP Ge) with a 4096 Multi-Channel analyzer to perform gamma spectrometry for different solid and liquid geometries. The Laboratory routinely performs environmental sample analyses and the Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) were more than sufficient to allow for protective action decision-making based on the US Food and Drug Administrations Derived Intervention Levels (FDA DIL) for food. The HPGe system was calibrated annually. Also, a daily Quality Control check was done using a check source. The preferred counting geometry was a 1-liter Marinelli Container, although the detectors were also calibrated for the 0.5 and 3.5 liter Marinelli geometries.
The Laboratory used sources traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for calibration of the HPGe detectors and the proportional counters.
Also, the Laboratory purchases blind, spiked samples from Environmental Research Associates (ERA) for an independent check of their accuracy and capability. The results are posted by ERA and action is taken by the laboratory if the results are not in an acceptable range.
The Fixed Laboratory has storage capability for a limited quantity of samples. The RPS SERT Coordinator indicated that the RPS would use the storage capability at their offices. The Fixed Laboratory does not do wet chemistry e.g., strontium-90 analyses.
This would be done by a contract commercial laboratory.

The Lee County EOC successfully demonstrated the Emergency Public Information and Warning capability in support of BRA. County Fire Department Representatives were interviewed in the EOC regarding the procedures. They were knowledgeable and familiar with the plans and procedures including dosimetry exposure and the use of KI.
Due to siren overlapping, any failed siren would be covered by another siren. To provide an alternative coverage to the overlapping of the siren, BRA is used to alert and notify the public. The Fire Representative/Chief described the procedures to be followed in conducting route alerting, including protective equipment, exposure limits, and recording requirements for personal dosimetry and the use of KI. A pre-scripted message is read and announced at appropriate intervals over a public address system while driving the designated routes. Continued routine training, knowledge of the areas and pre-designated routes, aide the departments in being efficient which enables them to complete the activity across designated routes. The SOG states that a route should be run in about 45 minutes after a siren failure. The interview was consistent with plans and procedures.
BRA is authorized by the EMD. At the time of a siren failure, the Fire Representative/Chief will be tasked by the EMD to run the Backup Routes. There are no exception areas within the county.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Executive Summary On November 29, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP). The evaluation of out of sequence activities during the week of October 11-13, and 26, 2011 is included in this report. The activities included: Traffic control points (TCP); protective actions for schools; reception and congregate care centers; emergency worker and vehicle monitoring and decontamination.

The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on March 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 28, 1987.

Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina; the risk counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region II; and Progress Energy as well as numerous volunteers participated in this exercise. FEMA Region IV also played in the exercise by providing response liaison personnel to the State of North Carolina, which contributed to exercise realism. The cooperation and teamwork of the participants was evident throughout all phases of the exercise. FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated and made the exercise a success.

State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. FEMA did not identify any Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during this exercise. The strength of the working relationships between the various State and local first responder agencies in their mission planning and execution abilities throughout all phases of the exercise was obvious, and confirmed the success of the Harris Task Force organizational structure. The Harris Task Force, co-chaired by representatives from both North Carolina Emergency Management and Progress Energy, has proven to be an excellent example of public and private agency cooperation.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design DHS/FEMA administers the REP Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) parts 350, 351 and 352. 44 CFR 350 codifies 16 planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for licensee, State, tribal and local governments impacted by the EPZs established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States. 44 CFR 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of State, Tribal and local government RERPs and procedures by DHS/FEMA. One of the REP program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities. During these exercises State, Tribal and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.

The results of this exercise together with review of the RERPs and procedures and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 through the Annual Letter of Certification and staff assistance visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the NRC that State, Tribal and local plans and preparedness are (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

On March 28, 1988, the State of North Carolina formally submitted the RERP for the HNP to FEMA Region IV. Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on April 29, 1989 in accordance with 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was evaluated on November 29, 2011, and included evaluations of the following out-of-sequence activities held from October 11 through 13, 2011, and on October 26, 2011:

  • Chatham County: Emergency worker and equipment monitoring and decontamination at Pittsboro Fire Department, Old Graham Road Fire Station on October 11, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Northwood High School on October 13, 2011.
  • Wake County: Protective actions for schools at Fuquay-Varina Senior High School on March 21, 2011; Reception and congregate care center operations at Garner Magnet High School on October 26, 2011. Medical Services Drill (MS-1) at Hospital October 12, 2011.

Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 HNP REP Exercise 11

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 2.2 FEMA Exercise Objectives and Capabilities Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all FEMA Region IV REP Program objectives and observations in this exercise.

  • Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination (MAC) for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. EOC management includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, State, and Federal EOCs; coordination public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.
  • Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.
  • Citizen Evacuation and Shelter in Place: Is the capability to prepare for, ensure communication of, and immediately execute the safe and effective sheltering-in-place of an at-risk population (and companion animals), and/or the organized and managed evacuation of the at-risk population (and companion animals) to areas of safe refuge in response to a potentially or actually dangerous environment. In addition, this capability involves the safe reentry of the population where feasible.
  • Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire and EMS.
  • Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources or Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 HNP REP Exercise 12

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.

  • Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment: Is the capability to appropriately dispatch EMS resources; to provide feasible, suitable, and medically acceptable pre-hospital triage and treatment of patients; to provide transport as well as medical care en-route to an appropriate receiving facility; and to track patients to a treatment facility.
  • Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the ARC, or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special-needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs addressed by the medical community and/or its alternate care facilities. State and Federal entities also play a role in public and environmental health by ensuring safe conditions, safe food, potable water, sanitation, clean air, etc.
  • Public Health Laboratory Testing: The Public Health Laboratory Testing capability is the ongoing surveillance, rapid detection, confirmatory testing, data reporting, investigative support, and laboratory networking to address potential exposure, or known exposure, to all-hazards which include chemical, radiochemical, and biological agents in all matrices including clinical specimens, food and environmental samples, (e.g., water, air, soil). All-hazard threats include those deliberately released with criminal intent, as well as those that may be present as a result of unintentional or natural occurrences.

Exercise criteria are listed by number and the demonstration status of those criteria are indicated by the use of the following terms:

  • Met (No Deficiency or ARCAs assess and no unresolved ARCAs from prior exercise)
  • ARCAs assessed or unresolved ARCAs from previous exercises
  • Deficiency assessed
  • Plan Issues
  • Not Demonstrated 3.2 Evaluation Summaries 3.2.1 State of North Carolina 3.2.1.1 State Emergency Operations Center Emergency Operations Center Management Capability Summary:

This capability was successfully demonstrated by the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and the Central Branch Office (CBO) Regional Coordination Center (RCC).

The SERT activated the SEOC in a timely manner and effectively demonstrated the States emergency response actions for a radiological incident involving the HNP. The SERT Leader provided direction and control for the response effort, encouraging his key staff to anticipate necessary actions to be taken should plant or meteorological conditions change. SERT members were knowledgeable of their responsibilities and successfully coordinated necessary actions with the risk counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake, various State and Federal agencies, and the utility. Periodic conference calls and status briefings ensured the counties and agencies had current situational awareness. The SERT Leader and risk counties concurred on appropriate decisions to protect the health and safety of the public and emergency workers.

Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability Summary:

The SERT PIO staff operating from the SEOC demonstrated this capability through activities related to the prompt notification system and the subsequent coordination of emergency information developed by public information personnel supporting the JIC.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 17

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Emergency instructions for the public in response to the incident at HNP were prepared, coordinated and disseminated in accordance with Annexes C and E of the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan. Following concurrence between the State and risk counties on protective action decisions (PAD) for the public, the SERT transmitted the appropriate EAS message to broadcast radio stations via the EMnet system for broadcast at the agreed upon time. Secondary notification was accomplished by faxing the message to the National Weather Service (NWS) for broadcast over the NWS radio system, received by tone alert radios.

The preparation and dissemination of emergency information was accomplished at the JIC. Prior to release, the JIC writers provided draft information releases to the SERT PIO for proof reading and editing of information prior to approval by the SERT Leader. The information releases were then returned to the JIC for final dissemination.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1 3.2.1.2 Central Branch Office The CBO demonstrated the capability to effectively activate and manage the RCC through the activation and deployment of selected staff to liaise with the utility, support the joint information effort and coordinate jurisdictional response requirements. While the CBO-RCC effectively executed its responsibilities, two notable actions stood out.

First, the CBO-RCC uniquely involved counties in the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ), counties not normally involved in plume phase exercises, through the provision of periodic situational updates. This action recognized that the CBO-RCC responsibilities extend to a greater population than in the four risk counties.

Secondly, the CBO-RCC demonstrated its attention to detail and analysis of requirements when they questioned the viability of a selected equipment relocation staging area. This action also helped identify the need for increased dissemination of selected operating guidelines within the response community.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1 and 2.b.2 3.2.1.3 Dose Assessment Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination Capability Summary:

During the HNP November 2011 Exercise the State of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS); Radiation Protection Section (RPS) demonstrated the capability to perform the required accident assessment including dose projections and field team surveys to support protective action recommendations (PAR) to the SERT Leader. The RPS Accident Assessment Center was in the SEOC that was located at 116 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 18

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise West Jones Street, in Raleigh, NC. This location is about 22 miles northeast of HNP and outside the plume exposure emergency planning zone.

During the exercise, the RPS staffed all key positions and was operational by 0930. The primary method of communications in the SEOC was landline phones and face-to-face communications within the SEOC. Communications with the Field Monitoring Teams (FMT), Sample courier, SERT Power Plant Liaison at the HNP Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Mobile Laboratory were through the 800 MHz radio system. The FMTs were well equipped, knowledgeable of their procedures and use of survey and air sampling equipment while in the field. They were positioned to detect any releases from the plant and moved accordingly to anticipate any changes in the path of plume travel away from the plant due to changing meteorological conditions. They reported back all requested survey and air sample data in a timely manner.

Dose Assessment personnel continuously monitored the electronic data from the HNP and performed timely dose projections based upon updated data and information from the EOF. The Director RPS provided timely and effective PARs to the SERT Leader based collectively on plant conditions, dose projections, FMT readings and PARs from the plant. When discussing these protective actions with the risk counties, all parties agreed to add several more zones for evacuation based upon local conditions identified on the conference call. Projected exposure information was also provided and discussed with the Department of Public Health concerning radioactive Iodine dose projections which resulted in a recommendation for issuance of KI to both Emergency Workers (EW) and the General Public.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 1.c.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.1 and 2.b.2 3.2.1.4 Fixed Laboratory Public Health Laboratory Testing Capability Summary:

During the HNP November 29, 2011 Exercise the State of North Carolina DHHS, Laboratory Services Section, Fixed Laboratory demonstrated the capability to perform the required radiological analyses to support PADs. The Fixed Laboratory was located at 306 North Wilmington Street, in Raleigh, NC. This location is about 22 miles northeast of the HNP and outside the plume exposure emergency planning zone.

For the exercise, personnel were at their normal workstations at 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br />. The Fixed Laboratory facility consisted of personnel assigned to the Radiochemistry Laboratory Preparation Area (fourth floor Room 417) and the Radio-analysis Count Room (First Floor Room 101) functions. Only one technician in the Laboratory was trained to use the Counting equipment. He was not present during the demonstration conducted by the Laboratory Manager. It was indicated that the Laboratory could be activated on weekends if necessary within one hour. During the exercise, timely communications Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 19

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise were maintained with the RPS SERT Coordinator using the landline line.

The RPS Sample Courier successfully demonstrated the delivery of samples to the loading dock area of the laboratory building. Laboratory personnel successfully demonstrated the receipt of an air sample cartridge, an air sample filter paper and vegetation. The Chain of Custody form was signed and a copy was retained by the Laboratory. Procedures were followed to measure the sample bag contact dose rate. The RPS Sample Control located at the Mobile Laboratory screen, prepare and package samples for transfer to the Fixed Laboratory by the Sample Courier. Procedures were in place to record and track all samples, using a bar code system.

The Fixed Laboratory was equipped with three gas filled Proportional Counters (Canberra Tennelec Series 5) to perform gross alpha or beta-gamma counting of air sample cartridges, filter papers and wipes. One of these counters also had the capability to do gamma spectrometry using a sodium iodide detector. It was new and not yet in operation.

The Laboratory also had two operating Canberra High Purity Germanium Detectors (HP Ge) with a 4096 Multi-Channel analyzer to perform gamma spectrometry for different solid and liquid geometries. The Laboratory routinely performs environmental sample analyses and the Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) were more than sufficient to allow for protective action decision-making based on the US Food and Drug Administrations Derived Intervention Levels (FDA DIL) for food. The HPGe system was calibrated annually. Also, a daily Quality Control check was done using a check source. The preferred counting geometry was a 1-liter Marinelli Container, although the detectors were also calibrated for the 0.5 and 3.5 liter Marinelli geometries.

The Laboratory used sources traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for calibration of the HPGe detectors and the proportional counters.

Also, the Laboratory purchases blind, spiked samples from Environmental Research Associates (ERA) for an independent check of their accuracy and capability. The results are posted by ERA and action is taken by the laboratory if the results are not in an acceptable range.

The Fixed Laboratory has storage capability for a limited quantity of samples. The RPS SERT Coordinator indicated that the RPS would use the storage capability at their offices. The Fixed Laboratory does not do wet chemistry e.g., strontium-90 analyses.

This would be done by a contract commercial laboratory.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1 and 4.c.1 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 20

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 3.2.2 Joint Operations 3.2.2.1 Emergency Operations Facility Emergency Operations Center Management Capability Summary:

Direction and Control of emergency management operations were the responsibility of the utility operator and were fulfilled in a professional and effective manner. The State and local government officials dispatched to the EOF served in an all important liaison capacity between the utility operator and their respective EOCs. The government officials in conjunction with the utility operators Emergency Director, effectively communicated, coordinated and functioned as a cohesive response and recovery unit.

The utility operators assessment as well as the States independent assessments of the offsite health and safety considerations supported the PARs. They were initially based solely on plant conditions, and the subsequent PARs were based on sound technical analyses, which included environmental field measurements, computerized dose assessment models, and a thorough understanding of the simulated emergency at hand, as well as discussions and interactions with the utility operators senior staff. There were adequate supplies and equipment available to support response operations For this capability the following REP criterion was met: 2.b.1 3.2.2.2 Joint Information Center Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability Summary:

The agency representative of the JIC demonstrated this capability by developing, coordinating and disseminating emergency public information. The JIC served as the central point of contact for the distribution and release of information to the media and public during an emergency at the HNP. The JIC is maintained by the utility and offers ample space for the Public Information Officers (PIO) and supplemental technical staff from the utility, State of North Carolina, risk counties and the Federal agencies to perform the duties required of them.

For this exercise, in accordance with the Extent of Play Agreement (EOPA), the JIC staff was not prepositioned and responded to the JIC in real time. The JIC was well equipped and has redundancy in communications, which includes landline phones, facsimiles and internet connectivity. Both primary and secondary systems were established and maintained throughout the exercise with no failures observed.

A total of 68 press releases were formulated and distributed by the JIC staff. This included 13 in Spanish by Chatham County. There were four media briefings during the exercise. The spokespersons answered the questions asked of them and were able to discuss what actions have been taken by their organizations. A critical aspect of keeping the Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 21

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Harris Nuclear Plant REP Exercise public informed is ensuring the correct information is available and erroneous information is corrected and rumors squelched. Both the State and the Utilitys rumor control function were performed in the JIC. The four risk counties performed rumor control at their EOCs. The spokespersons in the JIC were aware of the calls received and addressed trends and rumors during the media briefings. The applicable citizen information numbers were provided to the public during each media briefing and on all press releases.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.d.1 and 1.e.1 3.2.3 Risk Jurisdictions 3.2.3.1 Chatham County, North Carolina 3.2.3.1.1 Emergency Operations Center Chatham County successfully demonstrated the capability to provide multi-agency coordination (MAC) for incident management by activating and operating the Chatham County EOC. Chatham County Communication Center/Warning Point received the Alert ECL, and notified the Emergency Management Director of the emergency at HNP. At the request of the Director and under the general direction of the County Manager, the EOC personnel were called and the EOC was activated. Chatham County maintains minimum staffing of the EOC during working hours with personnel from the Department of Emergency Services.

The EOC had sufficient equipment and communications for conducting operations and communicating with the State, other counties and local government agencies and departments, including two dedicated telephone systems, computers, faxes and radios.

The Director and the EOC personnel clearly demonstrated the ability to provide an effective emergency response. The Director provided outstanding direction and control throughout the exercise and demonstrated the ability to protect the health and safety of the citizens of the county. The coordination between the Director and the Director of Public Health regarding the decision to order the issuance of KI to EWs and the general public and then to ingest KI was outstanding. All decisions were discussed with other counties, State Public Health and the SEOC.

The EOC protected the only endangered school of the county Moncure Elementary by ordering an early precautionary relocation of about 300 students and teachers to Northwood Senior High School at the Alert ECL. Horton Elementary buses assisted in the relocation of the school. The County also calls the pre-identified Functional needs populations and placed on stand-by at the same time. They relocated these populations at the Site Are Emergency ECL.

For this capability the following REP Criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 HNP REP Exercise 22
