~ FEMA July 30, 2013 Victor M. McCree, Regional Administrator - RII Nuclear Regulatory Commission One Marquis Tower 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, Suite 1200 Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. McCree:

Enclosed is a copy of the final after action report for the April 30-May 1, 2013, Harris Nuclear Plant Ingestion Pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the Harris Nuclear Plant. This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness that encompasses six Core Capabilities: Operations Coordination; Public Information and Warning; Environmental Response/Health and Safety; On-Scene Security and Protection; Critical Transportation; and Mass Care. The participating agencies of the State of North Carolina and the affected risk and ingestion counties of the Harris Nuclear Plant 50-mile ingestion pathway zone are listed in the report prepared by the staff of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV. Copies of this report will be forwarded to NRC Headquarters, FEMA Headquarters, and the State of North Carolina.

FEMA did not identify any Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA). A previous ARCA (08-10-4.c. l-A-03) identified during the 2010 Brunswick Nuclear Plant exercise concerning the operational status of the High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma Spectrometer and how it failed to correctly identify the isotopes in the Counting Standard. This ARCA was successfully cleared by the Radiation Protection Section (RPS) Mobile Radiological Laboratory's demonstration during this exercise.

The participation of both NRC and FEMA representatives at the State Emergency Operations Center added realism to the exercise and demonstrated a commitment to keep the residents of North Carolina informed during an emergency. There was continued strong leadership in direction and control even with a recent change-over in the State Director position. The State of North Carolina and the risk and ingestion pathway counties have dedicated emergency response staffs as well as numerous volunteers that participated in this exercise who are serious and professional in executing their duties.

Based on the results of the April 30-May 1, 2013, exercise and FEMA's review of North Carolina's Annual Letter of Certification for 2012, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and procedures for the State of North Carolina and the affected local jurisdictions specific to the Harris Nuclear Plant can be implemented and are adequate to provide a reasonable assurance that appropriate

measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. The Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the State of North Carolina offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness site-specific to the Harris Nuclear Plant, granted on April 29, 1989, will remain in effect.

Should you have questions, please contact Conrad Burnside at 770/220-5486.

After Action Report/improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On April 30 and May 1, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region IV, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)

Program staff evaluated an Ingestion Pathway exercise in the 10 mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) and the 50 mile ingestion pathway zone (IPZ) around the Harris Nuclear Plant (HINP).

Also included in this report are the out of sequence (OOS) activities evaluated during the week of April 22, 2013. These activities included: traffic control points; protective actions for schools; reception and congregate care centers; emergency worker and equipment monitoring and decontamination; and waterway warning. FEMA's overall objective of the exercise was to assess the level of state and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency.

FEMA Region IV has identified a set of Core Capabilities correlating to the REP Demonstration Criteria so that regional REP exercise evaluations using HSEPP exercise documents may occur.

The purpose of this report is to analyze exercise results, identify strengths to be maintained and built upon, identify potential areas for further improvement, and support development of corrective actions. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of state and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on November 29, 2011.

The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted February 28, 1987.

Participating 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 Federal, State and local response 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 Duke Energy, has proven to be an excellent example of public and private agency cooperation.

Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina; the risk counties of Wake,Chatham, Harnett and Lee, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II, U.S.

Department of Energy's (DOE) Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Duke Energy as well as numerous volunteers participated in this exercise. FEMA 3

Unclassified I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant 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 3 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.

During the Ingestion Pathway exercise the State of North Carolina along with riskcounties of Wake, Chatham, Harnett and Lee demonstrated good coordination and implementation on protective action decisions which provided for the safety of the general public and emergency workers. They also demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. The activities of the Federal players enabled the State of North Carolina to gain a better understanding of the types of resources the various Federal agencies would bring and how they would integrate with the States' emergency response organizations in response to a radiological event.

The SERT and risk counties also successfully demonstrated their relocation procedures and the return of evacuated individuals and families via the tabletop exercise. During the IPZ portion of i the exercise, the involved agencies along with the State of North Carloina, provided an excellent opportunity for IPZ counties to participate in the exercise which better prepared them for a 3 radiological event. There was continued strong leadership in direction and control even with a recent change-over in the State Director position. .

An ARCA identified during the 2010 Brunswick Nuclear Plant REP exercise which concerned the operational status of the High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma Spectrometer. was :I successfully cleared by the Radiation Protection Section (RPS) Mobile Radiological Laboratory's demonstration during this exercise. 3 4

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The Department of Homeland Security.(DHS) Federal. Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (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 .emergency planning zones (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 Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures byDHS/FEMA. One of the.

REP Program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities. During these exercises affected 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, procedures and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP- I through the Annual Letter of Certification and staff assistance visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final After Action Report (AAR) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the affected 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. 3 2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Core Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items. Using 3 the Homeland Security Exercise Evaluation Program (HSEEP) methodology, the exercise objectives meet the REP Program requirements and encompass the REP Program's Emergency Preparedness Evaluation Areas. These elements and sub-elements were derived and negotiated with the State of North Carolina, Wake, Chatham, Harnett and Lee Counties. The core capabilities include operational coordination, public information and warning, environmental response/health and safety, on-scene security and protection, critical transportation and mass 10 I

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant care. These core capabilities when successfully demonstrated meet the exercise objectives. The objectives for this exercise were as follows:

-Objective 1: Demonstrate the ability to provide emergency operations center (EOC) management including direction and control through the State and counties EOC Multi-Agency Coordination Center System (MACCS).

-Objective 2: Demonstrate the ability to provide protective action decision-making for State and county emergency workers and the general public through exercise play and discussions of plans and procedures.

-Objective 3: Demonstrate the ability to physically'implement protective actions for State and county emergency workers and the general public through exercise demonstration.

-Objective 4: Demonstrate the ability to activate the Prompt Alert and Notification System using the North Carolina Alert and Notification System through exercise play.

-Objective 5: Demonstrate the effectiveness of plans, policies and procedures in the Joint Information Center (JIC) for joint (public and private sector) emergency information communications.

-Objective 6: Demonstrate the ability to conduct independent dose assessment, management of field teams, and mobile or fixed laboratory analysis in response to a radiological release;

-Objective 7: Demonstrate the ability to provide and implement protective action decision-making for State and County emergency workers(EW)and residents concerning Recovery, Reentry and Relocation of radiological affected areas.

2.3 Scenario Summary Unit 1 at 0915 with a 150 gallon per minute leak from the reactor coolant system into containment. At 0930 the reactor is manually tripped with two control rods stuck out of the core.

At approximately this time, an Alert is declared due to the potential loss of the reactor coolant system barrier. At 1132, containment pressure exceeds 10 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) with a failure of the containment spray system.

11

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

U After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant At 1147, a Site Area Emergency (SAE) emergency classification level (ECL) is declared due to loss of reactor coolant system and potential loss of containment barrier.ý At 1245, the reactor coolant system leak suddenly increases, followed by pipe ruptures, and a sudden depressurization of the reactor coolant system. Fuel failure begins and containment high range radiation monitors indicate 150 R/hour at 1315. At 1330, a General Emergency (GE) ECL is declared due to loss of the fuel clad barrier, loss of the reactor coolant system and potential loss of contaihment barrier.

GE Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) include evacuation of Subzones A, D, and K (2 miles around and 5 miles downwind) and sheltering of all other Subzones (B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, M, L, and N). At 1400, containment pressure-rises to 25 PSIG and a hydrogen explosion'causes the Equipment Hatch to fail, resulting in a release to the environment from a hole in containment.

Containment high range radiation monitors indicate 400 R/hour. Dose assessment results " "

indicate that a PAR change is required. At 1415, the PARs are revised to evacuate Subzones A, B, C, D, H, I, K, (5 miles around and 10 miles downwind) and shelter all others (E, F, G, J, M, and N). This PAR includes a recommendation for potassium iodide (KI). The release continues for two hours until containment volume is cycled out.

After Action Reportl/mprovement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant 3.3 Criteria Evaluation Summaries 3.3.1 North Carolina Jurisdictions 3.3.1.A State of North Carolina Operational Coordination:

State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC):

The North Carolina State Emergency Response Team (SERT) effectively demonstrated the state's emergency response actions during a simulated radiological incident involving the Harris Nuclear Planlt (HNP). The SERT Team Leader provided commendable leadership in his direction and control of the multiple-agency staff personnel manning. the SEOC, the Central Branch Office (CBO) Regional Response Center (RRC), and the various field locations of the activated SERT. The SERT members were knowledgeable of their responsibilities and successfully coordinated necessary actions with the risk counties of Wake, Chatham, Harnett, and Lee, as well as the participating Federal agencies which included the NRC, FEMA and DOE.

Periodic status briefings and conference calls fully involved the various agencies and:

professionally addressed the concerns and recommendations of the county emergency management directors while achieving concurrence on key decisions. All personnel were knowledgeable of their responsibilities and successfully performed their assigned actions.

Central Branch Office (CBO):

The CBO demonstrated the capability to effectively activate and manage the RRC through the activation and deployment of selected staff to liaise with Duke Energy, support the joint information effort, and coordinate jurisdictional response requirements. The Branch Manager consistently held briefings with key staff personnel and considered their input in his resource management decisions. The Branch Manager successfully provided direction and control to the assembled staff and also performed in a response assurance role for SERT actions.

Emergency Operation Facility (EOF):

State personnel from North Carolina Emergency Management and North Carolina Department of 15

Unclassified n Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Health Service Regulation Radiation Protection Section (RPS) assigned to the EOF worked closely with Duke Energy personnel. They provided the SERT and county decision makers with timely information on plant conditions, ensured the utility was aware of state and county actions, and helped to coordinate state and utility field survey team movements.

Operational Coordination - Ingestion Pathway (Day 2) i The State of North Carolina successfully demonstrated this capability during the 2013 HNP REP Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ) Exercise. The assembled SERT effectively and decisively .

responded to an extended emergency situation at the HNP. Key leaders and supporting staff were present and actively engaged during the second day of activities. Key leadership included.

the SERT Leader, the Operations Chief, the Plans Chief, REP Technical Advisor, CBO Manager, RPS Chief, and Duke Energy Liaison. The exercise was attended by emergency management personnel from both the 10-mile EPZ counties and all the 50-mile IPZ counties.

The SERT operated in accordance with the State RERP, and included liaison personnel from the following agencies: RPS, Department of Transportation (DOT), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP), Public Water, State Energy Office American Red Cross, Salvation Army, NRC, DOE, EPA and FEMA.

RPS staff at the EOC provided the necessary verification and field monitoring simulations. State and various county officials cooperated and readily accomplished the mutual goals of performing accurate radiological assessments to allow reentry and return of the citizens to their homes and businesses, or if not possible, then relocation from affected areas.

The SERT used effective procedures to respond to the simulated incident and emergency personnel maintained continuous contact and coordination with appropriate Federal, State and i

local agencies throughout the exercise. The GE ECL declared by the Duke Energy EOF remained in effect throughout the day, and the State of North Carolina retained direction and control of the emergency from the Day 1 activities. The SERT Leader clearly remained in control, but was extremely conscientious in gaining the concurrence of the risk and ingestion pathway counties when making key decisions.

The SERT Leader's focus on activities was primarily directed at determining which areas had i 16

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant not been contaminated during the release, but had been evacuated during the first day. After determining which zones were safe to allow return (based on the extensive radiological data available from the variety of Federal, State, and. Duke Energy sources), the SERT Leader directed the SERT.staff to determine readily-identifiable natural boundaries (such as roads and.

waterways) be used to determine the areas which would remain closed. He directed that this information be provided in the first scheduled press conference, and emphasized complete and total accuracy in providing information to the media and the general public.

Theday's actions were primarily concerned with determining -the.radiological consequences of.

the accident, and determining the appropriate.protective action decisions (PADs). RPS personnel successfully compared analytical results with .EPA Protective Action Guidance (PAG) criteria.

Impact on the area road network was heavily studied, and alternative routes determined to minimize the adverse impact on traffic flow:

Ensuring an appropriate level of safe radiation exposure by the general public was a key element in the SERT Leaders guidance and decision-making. A high priority was placed on meetings with SERT members, agencies and county officials to determine the protective action guidance. "

SERT personnel demonstrated excellent knowledge of radiation exposure conditions, appropriate maximum exposure limits and KI issue to emergency workers (EWs) and the general public.

Follow-on activities involved further refinement of determining the precise boundaries of the contaminated areas in the county, and stabilizing those sites to prevent cross-contamination. A heavy emphasis continued on providing information to farmers and food processors. The SERT leadership waskeenly aware of the economic impact their decision-making had, both on the local citizens as well as the rest of the state and the nation.

The SERT then developed an overall strategy for authorized reentry of individuals into the restricted zone, to include maximum exposure limits; the maintenance of essential services (such as fire and police protection); the care for farm animals; and the retrieval of important possessions.

The State of North Carolina successfully demonstrated the availability and appropriate use of protective actions regarding food, milk, water supply and agricultural production within the IPZ.

In the event of a release, the agricultural community to include home gardeners, livestock owners, farmers, food processors and water supply agencies within the 50-mile IPZ of the HNP will be notified of areas that may be contaminated and advised of protective actions necessary to 17

• Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant reduce the risk of contamination to farms andlivestock, agricultural products, and water supplies..' ' ' .n Precautionary measures coordinated between the State and counties included limiting consumption of food and water, stored feed and water for animals and restricting access to contaminated areas. Protective actions implemented bythe State and coordinated with the counties included relocation of the affected. population, withholding contaminated milk and I washing produce to remove surface contamination. Recommendations were discussed to ingest KI on second and third day down wind and beyond the EPZ for affected, populations based upon radiological surveys.

Appropriate measures and strategies for implementing protective actions for.contaminated water, food, milk and agricultural production were demonstrated~as well. Samples from -area farms -

• were takento identify the degree of contamination to food, livestockfeed, and watersupplies. l Based on readings, controls on food were implemented and continued past .seven days.. Daily, weekly and monthly sampling was instituteduntil the area could be cleared. Return would involve deposition clearance on roadways and infrastructure before a phased move-in process could begin. Prior to commencement of recovery and reentry activities, the State Director of Emergency Management will confer with local government officials to determine when the recovery and reentry operations should begin. Agricultural brochures and one-page flyers were available in digital format through the. County Cooperative Extension Services Offices.

Decisions regarding controlled reentry, relocation and return were successfully implemented. A sampling plan was created with support from Federal assets. The State Agricultural Commission implemented an embargo for the affected area including a 20-mile boundary around the plume footprint. To accomplish this, the State-needed to create re-entry points within affected counties so the public and farmers could care for their property. County extension offices and public information support were necessary to ensure accuracy of information and specifics concerning I individual counties.

I Public Information and Warning:

The lead Public Information Officer (PIO) and assistant used established protocols to formulate, H process and gain approval of one press release prior to activation of the Joint Information Center (JIC). They further coordinated activities for information regarding PADs and coordination 18

Unclassified Radiological EmergencyPreparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant between the state and risk counties along with the dissemination of information to the media and public, successfully demonstrated their ability to disseminate public information in a timely manner.

The SEOC PIO was apprised of all, rumors and their disposition through updates from the JIC, kept the staff abreast of changing conditions, provided situational awareness and aided in greater decisionmaking. Although public information wasdemonstrated at the JIC, the SEOC has a separate work area that is adequately sized and equipped to accommodate media operations to include external media broadcasts outlets.

The activation of the Alert and Notification System (ANS) was conducted by the State Warning Point (SWP) from the SEOC. Upon notification of the.Alert ECL at HNP, the SWP_ simulated alert and notification of the automated calling system for the SEOC staff. In accordance with plans, the SWP maintained situational awareness and direct, communication with Duke Energy throughout the exercise... . . .

Pre-scripted Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages were coordinated with the sounding of sirens and dissemination of those messages over EMNet and the National Weather Service (NWS) was completed in a timely fashion.

The demonstration of waterway warning and clearance of Lake Jordan,.Lake Harris,. the. Deep and Haw Rivers was demonstrated by representatives of the NCSHP, NCWRC, North Carolina Parks and Recreation, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Wake County. Sheriffs Office..

All were well versed in their mission assignments and personal radiological safeguards. The Captain of the NCWRC quickly established effective incident command, assuming the role of the Incident Commander (IC), issued equipment and launched the assigned boats per plans. .

NCSHP aviation assets also participated, flying a pre-designated pattern over the waterways. All the law enforcement officers were versed in their mission requirements and fully demonstrated the ability to perform the roles assigned to them; thusly, this coordinated deployment of teams successfully demonstrated waterway clearance.

Joint Information Center:

Once operational, the JIC is designed as the focal point for the distribution of news releases and presentation of press briefings by the utility and jurisdictions. The JIC was activated at the Alert 19

U After Action Report/Improvemnent Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant ECL, and in accordance with the Extent of Play Agreement (EOPA), the state participants responded upon notification while county participants were pre-positioned...

All press releases conformed to protective action decisions and precautionary measures instituted by the jurisdictions. A total of 66 press releases (14 in Spanish) were distributed in the JIC during the exercise. Spanish translation is not required per FEMA guidelines;however,'the jurisdictions instituted a proactive practice of translation. Four media briefings were also I conducted during the plume portion of the exercise. Prior to each briefing the'spokespersons gathered to discuss and coordinate their message for. the briefing: The spokespersons answered all questions asked of them and were able to discuss what actions had been taken by their organizations.

The JIC had a robust communications capability and sufficient equipment and supplies to. I*

support emergency operations. Communications included dedicated commercial telephones supplemented by cell phones, computers,.satellite phone and 800 MHz radio. Additionally, the JIC had adequate external communication capabilities to support the media. Primary and backup communications systems were fully functional at the commencement of the exercise and there were no failures during the exercise.. .

Media Monitoring was performed at two locations; in the JIC workroom and from the Duke I Energy Corporate Headquarters Building. Both the State and the Duke Energy Public Inquiry function were coordinated in the JIC with the State's public hotline coordinators successfully responded to rumors concerning terrorism, earthquakes, impact of wildlife, fatalities at the plant, and need for evacuation.

Based on the above, representatives from the State of North Carolina and the risk counties H located at the HNP JIC successfully demonstrated the Public Information and Warning core capability and performed their roles in accordance with their published plans and procedures.

Public Information and Warning - Ingestion Pathway (Day 2)

The JIC for the IPZ portion of the 2013 HNP exercise was located within the SEOC of the North Carolina Emergency Management Division office building.

JIC participants included the PIOs from the State of North Carolina, the risk counties of Wake, 20

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Han-is Nuclear Plant Chatham, Harnett and Lee along with the ingestion counties of Cumberland, Johnson and Moore.

The PIOs maintained situational awareness of the IPZ tabletop exercise (TTX) via an internal closed circuit TV. Based upon the IPZ TTX information that was being discussed the PIOs generated 15 news releases in support of their respected agencies. The process for preparing, coordinating and distributing news releases was identical to the process demonstrated during the plume phase exercise..

Pre-printed agriculture information and instructions were available in both print and electronic formats and were readily available for reproduction.. These materials were created and updated by the NC Department of Agriculture. and distributed by the extension agents of each county.

The materials were originally created over 17 years ago and updated within the last 10, however, the representative participating in the TTX stated the materials were current and valid for implementation. .. . .

The HNP IPZ Counties demonstrated the availability and proper use of acceptable information regarding water, food supplies, milk, and agricultural production within the HNP IPZ plaiming zone for implementation of protective actions..There were. two time jumps; a three day time jump and a seven day time jump; each concentrating on reentry and return of personnel.. Relocation was briefly discussed but the majority of the IPZ Counties implementation discussions focused on reentry and return.

Environmental Response / Health and Safety:

This core capability was demonstrated successfully by RPS. In accordance with the approved EOPA personnel were prepositioned and all positions were quickly filled and operational shortly after the Alert ECL notification from HNP. The Dose Assessment staff including the Field Team Coordinator (FTC), two field teams and the Mobile Radiological Lab (MRL) participated in the exercise. During the course of the exercise the dose assessment staff demonstrated protective action decision recommendations (PAR) by monitoring both live plant data obtained over the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) and copies of the plant Dose Assessment printouts versus their own dose projections. When the GE was declared by Duke Energy based upon degrading plant conditions the RPS Director recommended to the SERT Leader Protective Actions to evacuate subzones A, D and K and shelter the remaining 10 mile EPZ. After further monitoring of the plant conditions and based upon the radiation levels inside the containment structure the RPS Director conferred with the SERT Leader and the State Health Director and 21

Unclassified m Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant determined a PAD for EWs to ingest KI.

During the exercise, the RPS Dose Assessment Leader noted that the rising containment pressure suddenly dropped to zero, an indication of a catastrophic failure of the containment building.

Dose projections were run and compared with the Duke Energy projections., and both the Duke Energy and State projections demonstrated a good agreement much less than a factor of 10. New PADs were agreed upon and issued by the State and risk counties involved. Due.to the extreme m conditions at the plant, numerous additional scenarios were discussed basedupon wind shifts and longer duration radiological releases from the facility to ensure all potential areas were accounted for in the protective actions for the general public.

The FTC effectively demonstrated leadership and use of a decision making process to ensure that field monitoring teams were-correctly positioned downwind and moved inand out of the area as.

safely as possible. based on radiological conditions. The FTC utilized both 800 MHz radio and m cell phones to contact the field teams, mobile lab and sample courier. He conducted a pre-deployment briefing using a~briefing checklist and kept all personnel updated on the latest plant and weather conditions throughout the exercise. The field teams were managed to. obtain sufficient information that helped characterize the release while protecting the field team m members.

The field teams had sufficient equipment to conduct adequate andeffective radiological m sampling to identify the radiological plume boundaries and strength. They were well trained and utilized their procedures to effectively carry out the requests from the FTC andreported requested field data and also personnel exposure throughout the exercise. They successfully demonstrated conducting radiation surveys and air samples and correctly recording- and reporting the data back to the FTC.

The MRL and the Sample Control areas were set up to receive field samples for preparation and I analysis. Upon completion of sample preparation the samples were transferred, along with the.

chain of custody forms, to the MRL. Appropriate contamination controls were used throughout the sample receipt and preparation process to reduce the potential spread of contamination. Most of the preparatory time was for the background, standards and quality control measurements required for operation of the gamma spectroscopy system. The MRL area was adequately equipped and capable of supporting their emergency response function of sample receipt, preparation, and radiological analysis of field samples.

I 22

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Prior to sample analysis in the MRL, the Technical Analyst in the gamma spectroscopy van was interviewed to determine the equipment calibration methodology and the procedure for conducting daily background and quality control checks. The technician performed a daily background count and quality control check. for.each of the sample geometries (0.5 liter Marinelli, 1.0 Marinelli, particulate filter, and face loading iodine sample cartridge). Upon completion of quality control checks, he performed a long background count to be used to subtract from the total count in order to determine the sample count. Based on available documentation, all daily checks were determined to be within the recommended parameters for system operation, and calibration sources were National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable. The Technical Analyst logged the air, vegetation, and soil samples on a "Logbook for the Mobile Radiological Lab" form.. One vegetation sample was counted for 15 minutes and analyzed for demonstration purposes. The- Technical Analyst stated that the external exposure rate on the sample container could be entered into .the gamma spec system, and that this value would be .used.to determine the Minimum Detectable Activity. (MDA) and establish the sample counting time. This method meets the detection criteria of Environmental Protection Agency's derived intervention limits and effectively reduces counting times, .enabling the lab to count more samples per hour. This method would also provide sample results in a timely manner to dose assessment personnel to confirm or formulate protective actions.

Based upon-the above, a previous ARCA from the 2010 Brunswick Nuclear Station REP exercise,.08-10-4.c. l-A-03 was cleared.. This ARCA concerned the High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma Spectrometer in the RPS MRL not being operational. During that exercise the device could not correctly identify the isotopes in the Counting Standard used to calibrate the system and, therefore, could not be used to count sample media during the exercise.

Environmental Response / Health and Safety - Ingestion Pathway (Day 2)

Although the SERT maintained direction and control of the incident response, the SERT Leader emphasized throughout the exercise that decisions on relocation, reentry, and return would be made in a collaborative process with the affected counties. For instance, when return of the.

public to previously evacuated areas was discussed, the SERT Leader looked to the counties to delineate the areas of return using appropriate landmarks and to determine if the proper infrastructure and services were in place to allow the return. Similarly, although it was the State Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which had the authority to place embargoes 23

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP) 1 After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant on agricultural products, they coordinated with SERT and affected counties in determining the embargo areas.

There is current information on permanent agribusiness facilities to include: dairies, meat and poultry producers, fisheries, fruit and vegetable growers, grain producers, food processing plants, surface water supplies, and water supply intakes. However, some IPZ counties had not received the NC Agriculture pamphlet but were promised to receive it by the end of the day by the I Agriculture representative. Coordination.between several counties that share water usage discussed implementation for shutting water intakes as a precautionary. measure to prevent contamination. The discussion was informative and perceived as an excellent implementation method. .

FRMAC displayed four maps: Predicted Relocation Areas; Aerial Measuring System (Fixed, Wing); Worker Protection Areas (exposure rate PAG); and Areas of Concern for Mature Produce (FDA Guidelines for CS,-134/.137 and 1-131). They were useful in determining embargo boundaries, precautionary measures and protective actions; It was discussed among stateand county participants that the maps could be used to establish initial transportation monitoring routes and checkpoints into and out of the embargoed areas. The map products were an excellent visual depiction of deposition and initiated a fair amount of discussion among participants.

Once Reentry Access Points are established, all persons reentering the evacuated or restricted areas are considered EW's and will be treated as EW's for exposure control and personal protection concerns. Radiation levels in evacuated areas must be below radiation protection criteria for relocation before the evacuees can return to their homes. Emergency Management Offices will follow the procedures to ensure utilities, infrastructure, schools, and emergency services are operational in areas set for return.

This core capability was demonstrated successfully by Dose Assessment personnel working in I the RPS. Key leaders and supporting staff were present and actively engaged during the second day of activities. RPS staff at the EOC provided the necessary verification and field monitoring simulations to analyze the sample data results and verify the areas that exceeded the Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) food and livestock PAGs. State and various county officials cooperated and readily accomplished the mutual goals of performing accurate radiological assessments to allow reentry and return of the citizens to their homes and businesses, or if not possible, then relocation and or reentry to restricted areas to feed livestock and or retrieve 24

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant belongings. FRMAC presented two. maps for Predicted Areas of Concern for Mature Produce and Predicted Areas of Concern for Milk Products. These maps showed the areas exceeding..

FDA Guidelines for 1-131 and Cs-134/137, and FRMAC stated that these were predicted areas of concern. These maps were overlaid with known foodproducers,.then field teams were contacted and dispatched to take soil and vegetation samples in those areas.: The samples were delivered to the MRL, processed for counting and sample results returned to Dose Assessment staff. The Dose Assessment staff used an RPS computer equipped with a calculation spreadsheet from data generated by the Mobile .Lab from soil and vegetation samples. They determined first-year, second-year, and fifty-year doses based upon soil sample data. They then utilized special spreadsheets to determine ifthe contamination levels exceeded any FDA Derived Intervention, Levels (DIL). Sample analysis identified areas that exceeded the EPA 50 year relocation PAG.

and the dairy and vegetation samples were utilized to establish embargo areas in the Ingestion Pathway. .

The field teams were assigned to take milk, soil, water and vegetation samples, and were made up of one RPS technician and 'two agriculture personnel. The teams completed an inventory, operational equipment .checks, obtained appropriate dosimetry and completed doserecord forms.

When dispatched the teams located their assigned locations, and following their procedures correctly obtained milk, water, soil and vegetation samples. in accordance with their procedures.

Chain of custody forms were completed for each sample and the samples were transferred to a courier. The chain of custody forms were signed upon the transfer and the courier delivered the samples to the MRL technical. analyst.. Appropriate contamination controls were used throughout the .sample receipt and preparation process to reduce the potential spread of contamination.

The MRL and Sample Control area were adequately equipped and capable of supporting the IPZ response function of sample receipt, preparation, and radiological analysis of field samples. The MRL was also capable of providing communication support and field team coordination operations, as needed. The Technical Analyst performed a daily background count and quality control check for each of the sample geometries. Upon completion of quality control checks he performed a long background count to be used to subtract from the total count in order to determine the sample count. Samples were counted for 15 minutes and analyzed, the external exposure rate on the sample container could be entered into the gamma spec system, and this value would be used to determine the (MDA) and establish the sample counting time.

the HNP and notified the Director of the notification receipt through normal procedures.. He then had the County reverse 911 typesystem activated to alert and mobilize EOC staff.

During the exercise the' Director and Deputy demonstrated the proper use, of their primary and secondary communication systems and alternate methods. All communications systems operated properly throughout the exercise. The EOC had 10 mile EPZ and 50 mile IPZ maps displayed on walls and other maps and logs, could be displayed on a large screen in front of the EOC as necessary.. Each EOC staff position was supplied with a Position Notebook that contained checklists for the staff to complete for each ECL. The notebooks also contained appropriate standard operating guides, telephone numbers, paper, messaging notepaper, and other ,

information or instructions pertinent to the position. The EOC also had. sufficient support.

equipment such as facsimile machines, copiers, telephones, etc. to support emergency operations.

The Director and Deputy demonstrated the ability to make and implement PADs and coordinate actions and implementation with other counties and the SEOC. The Director and Deputy provided direction and control throughout the exercise. They conducted numerous EOC staff briefings as ECLs changed or when he received new information. They also coordinated the actions of the EOC staff in preparing for an escalation in emergency levels .by providing plans and procedures and having the agencies be proactive in developing emergency actions. These actions included relocating a school and special needs individuals early in the event to ensure they were safe if conditions continued to degrade. The Director coordinated lake clearing with other counties and informed them when they were relocating schools. He also coordinated with the NCSHP in establishing the county's TCPs and removal of impediments.

The Director coordinated with the Radiological Officer (RO) and the Fire Marshal to ensure all EWs were issued dosimetry and KI when they were deployed. The Director tasked the RO to track emergency worker exposure and determine if they needed additional radiological equipment. When the order was received for EWs to ingest KI the Fire Marshal insured that all workers were informed to ingest KI and followed-up to ensure they had ingested their KI and track the personnel who had ingested KI. When the order was received for the general public to 31

Harnett County successfully demonstrated their ability .to maintain a unified and coordinated..

operational structure and process while appropriately integrating all critical stakeholders.. They demonstrated their ability to effectively alert, notify, and mobilize staff. Multiple communication systems were tested between all stakeholders without fail. Equipment and supplies in the EOC were sufficient to support county response operations.

Protective action decision making is provided by the Harnett County Emergency Services Director in consultation with the County Commissioners, the State of North Carolina, and the three other risk counties. Protective action decisions for the public were closely considered and coordinated by the director. The director conducted staff briefings and round table discussions for.each emergency notification form received from the utility. This insured that all EOC staff.

members were aware of incident conditions and the actions being taken by others. Position instruction books are provided for each member of the EOC staff. These books contained specific instructions and tasks for each position based on the county plans and SOGs. By utilizing the position instruction books, the staff members were always aware of the actions they were to take based on the emergency classification level. During the round table discussions, the director maintained direction and control of the incident by listening to the staff describe the tasks they were carrying out and providing guidance only where needed. This proved to be an efficient and effective method of maintaining control and situational awareness of the implementation of all protective action decisions. The Harnett County RO maintained exposure control for emergency workers through close monitoring of direct reading dosimeters. During this exercise, all response actions were sufficiently coordinated with local and outside organizations and executed in accordance with county plans and procedures.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Public Informnation and Warning:

Harnett County successfully demonstrated their ability to provide accurate and timely public information and warning to its citizens. The primary means for alert and notification of the public in Harnett County consists of the Duke Energy fixed siren system, EAS messages, and NWS Alerts. Activation of the siren system primarily lies with Wake County; however,, control panels are also located in the County E-9l1 Center and Duke Energy's EOF. .This system was successfully demonstrated using a silent test and was activated three times during the exercise.

Siren sounding, EAS, and NWS broadcast times were agreed upon on the decision line with the EAS messages being sent to the primary radio station by the SEOC. Emergency vehicles with sirens and public address systems demonstrated route alerting and would be utilized if any or all of the siren system failed. Harnett County emergency personnel satisfactorily demonstrated or discussed how these systems could be activated and what actions they would take if any part of the system failed.

The County PIO and members of the rumor control staff demonstrated the ability to provide instructional follow up messages to the public in a timely manner and handle public inquiries.

Operational Coordination:

The LeeCounty Emergency Management Agency successfully demonstrated their ability to maintain a unified and coordinated operational structure and process while appropriately integrating all critical stakeholders. Key staff were alerted and mobilized in response to an incident at HNP in accordance with county plans and the extent of play agreement.

The Lee County Sheriffs Office Warning Point received the initial notification of Alert and successfully authenticated the message with IHNP after which the Lee County Director of Emergency Services (LCDES) activated the county EOC and staff. The EOC has multiple direct lines, cell phones, and internet service. The direct lines were the Selective Signaling System (SSS) and HNP direct lines; primary and alternate respectively. All communications equipment was operational and fully functional; no communication failures were observed. This is a new EOC facility with back up power and with .a spacious laid out and sufficient equipment, supplies, and communications to support emergency response operations.

The LCDES successfully accomplished direction and control and made timely decisions. An initial EOC staff briefing was conducted prior to EOC activation and upon receipt of each ENF message thereafter. Response activities were coordinated between agencies and authorized by the LCDES in a timely manner with a public safety focus. Throughout the exercise, the LCDES confidently discussed and provided concurrence for all PADs and EAS messages. The LCDES consistently tracked coordination of KI to EW's and the General Public with the Lee County Health Department; each ensuring distribution and ingestion PADs were timely. Subsequent 37

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

U After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant PADs were based on available HNP and State radiological data and implemented in a judicious fashion. The LCDES and assistant are sound leaders with a very capable EOC staff, leadership qualities and subject matter expertise were abundant and. exhibited throughout the exercise.

Public Information and Warning:

Lee County successfully demonstrated their ability to provide accurate and timely public I information and warning to its citizens. The initial siren and EAS activation for Lee County was initiated in Wake County through a mutual agreement with the risk counties. The initial instructional message contained all the necessary elements in accordance with FEMA guidance.

The LCDES and Sanford Fire Department Chief coordinated the demonstration of initial backup route alerting following a siren failure during the initial siren and EAS activation. Backup route alerting was accomplished well within 45 minutes by members of the Deep River Volunteer Fire I Department. An additional backup route alerting was conducted at the GE ECL in accordance with Lee County plans and procedures. Sanford Fire representatives sufficiently demonstrated that the siren failure area could be identified and alerted within the required time.

The Lee County PIO successfully demonstrated the capability to receive and disseminate H accurate press release to the media and the public in a timely manner by modifying, gaining approval and releasing pre-scripted messages. All thirteen press releases were generated and I reviewed for accuracy by the LCDES, and were followed by a Spanish press release prepared by the EOC translator. The rumor control representative successfully demonstrated the capability to track and clarify rumors from the public, none of which was trending. Rumor control was able to quell all incoming rumors and answer questions from the general public utilizing information from the EOC staff.

U After Action Report/Improvement Plan Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant SECTION 4: CONCLUSION'.

Officials and representatives from the State of North Carolina; the risk counties of Wake, Chatham, Harnett and Lee .Counties, who participated in this exercise 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). A previous ARCA (08-10-4.c. l-A-03) identified during the 2010 Brunswick Nuclear Plant REP exercise' which concerned the operational status of the High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Gamma Spectrometer was successfully cleared by the Radiation Protection Section (RPS) Mobile Radiological Laboratory's demonstration during this exercise.

The participation of both NRC and FEMA representatives at the State Emergency Operations Center added realism to the exercise and demonstrated a commitment to keep the residents of North Carolina informed during an emergency. There was continued strong leadership in direction and control even with a recent change-over in the State Director position. The State and risk counties demonstrated strong knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. The strength of the working relationships between the various Federal, State and local response 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 Duke Energy, has proven to be an excellent example of public and private agency cooperation..

During the Ingestion Pathway table top exercise the involved agencies along with the State of North Carolina and the risk counties provided an excellent opportunity for the IPZ counties to become better prepared for a radiological event. All demonstrated good coordination and implementation on protective action decisions which provided for the safety of the general public and emergency workers. The SERT and risk counties also successfully demonstrated their relocation procedures and the return of evacuated individuals and families.

The State of North Carolina, the risk and ingestion pathway counties have dedicated emergency response staffs as well as numerous volunteers that participated in this exercise who are serious and professional in executing their duties. FEMA wishes to acknowledge those efforts as well as those of the many other individual who participated and made this exercise a success.
