SUMMARY

On November 15, 2011, the Departnment of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region VII, conducted an exercise in the plume emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Wolf Creek Generating Station. In addition, out-of-sequence drills were conducted on October 13 and October 27, 2011. The purpose of the exercise and drills was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise and drills were held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures.

The previous exercise at this site was conducted on June 3, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 7, 1984.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of all who participated in and supported the exercise and drills. Along with the State of Kansas, Coffey County and Lyon County participated along with the various State and local organizations. The staff of the utility should also be commended for their work on the scenario development and exercise preparation.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some exercise participants and an additionally assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their community. The cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise. Thanks to all who participated in this community service.

The State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies as a result of this exercise. However, there was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during an out-of-sequence medical drill. That ARCA was corrected following additional on the spot training and re-demonstration. Planning issues that were identified during the exercise are included in this report. There were no ARCAs from the previous Exercise in 2009.

After Action Report/improvement Plan - ý - Wolf Creek Generating Station SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and'Design Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) Emergency Plan describes WCGS's capability to respond effectively to a radiological emergency at the site, and provides a detailed dcription of WCGS's interaction with Federal, State, and local goverment agencies as well as private, organizations. The Emergency Plan provides for continuous emergency preparedness including the conduct of annual exercises and preparatory drills..

The purpose of the November 15, 2011 exercise was to actiyate and.eyaluate portions of the State of Kansas and Coffey, County emergency plans and associated implementing procedures, in accordance with 44 CFR 350. Further, these exercises and drills tested theWCGS emergency response community's ability to assess and respond to emergency conditions and coordinate efforts with other agencies for protection of the health and safety ofhe public., The .conduct and evaluation of this drill provided additional training foremergency response organization personnel and.a means to further enhance W.CGSemergency response capability.

The scenario was designed to provide the basis for the conduct of a simulated radiological accident at WCGS ,in Burlington, Kansas, thrpug which theicapabilities and effectiveness of the emergency-respgnse plans for the ut~ijty, the State of Kansas and (offey, County could be evaluated. The scenario was utilized by the exercise controllers/evaltjaors as the control mechanism for the conduct of the drill. WCGS Emergency Planning personnel developed the scenario; it was initially reviewed by ICF, a FEMA contractor, prior to final review and approval by FEMA Region VII.

The scenario,.as driven by the WCGS Control Roo.n Simulator, depicted a simulated sequence of events, which resulted in escalating conditions of sufficient magnitude to warrant mobilization of State and local agencies to respond to the simulated emergency. Whenever practical, the drill incorporated provisions for "free play" on the part of the participants.

Meteorological conditions are cloudy skies with the wind from the southwest (23.60) to the northeast (560) at -5 mph, 350 temperature and sta.bility class 'B'....;

Sequence of Events At 0740, there is a vehicle accident in Waverly that impacts the VWl siren located in Waverly.

The siren is declared no longer functional and will not be repaired for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

The first event will be a fire in the 'A' Diesel Generator room due to a fuel oil leak at 0807. Fire.

alarm will initiate the event. There will be a message from the assigned Diesel Generator watch stander stating there is a fire. The DG will be manually tripped. The FB will respond, hoses and foam will be set up to fight the fire, and consideration given for a triage/rehab area to be established by Security. The fire will have to be put out by the fire brigade. This event will trigger a classification of Alert.

The second event occurs after the fire is out, a fire hose running along the NB02 switchgear room will rupture and spray water onto the NB bus causing a short and the de-energization of the bus at 0838. The isolation valve for the hose rack cannot be closed. Mini scenario to work on restoring power to the bus that allows the return of power after the next event (SAE) is complete.

There is a report that three tractor/trailer units hauling cattle collide with a van at the intersection of Trefoil Road and 25th. The fatality accident closes both roads at this intersection and will take approximately six hours to clear diie to the cattle that get loose.

The third event will be a magnitude 3.3 earthquake that causes damage to the fuel and a Loss of Offsite Power at 0937. Trouble in the switchyard will give a report of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to have power restored. RCS activity will start increasing; Loose Parts monitor will alarm to indicate fuel damage. AB HV-6, SG 'C' Steam Supply to the TDAFWP did not open at the loss of NB02.

The loss of the second NB bus for > 15 minutes meets the trigger for a classification upgrade to a Site Area Emergency (SAE).

b. The procedure of minimal protective clothing (gloves/booties) should only be used when the process is to stabilize and wrap the injured person for quick transportation. When the procedure includes monitoring, decontamination (clothing removal), and stabilization, then protective clothing should increase to full body protection. It is suggested that either the process of cutting off a patient's clothing is removed from the job aid, or if that process is maintained, then the crew's personal protective clothing should be more substantial.

c. The EMS crew should increase quantity and variety of protective equipment they take to a response site. A box of gloves would facilitate quick glove changes. Larger protective shoe coverings are necessary to fit over boots. It is recommended that a wide variety of shoe covering sizes be included in the crew's kit.

CORRECTIVE;ACTION DESCRIPTION:

a. TheState of.Kansas will add this recommended'inrfori~ation into the 2012 Emporia Fire Departremnt/Lyon.'i County EMS job aids and include it in the training.

b. The State of Kansas will not be incorporating this recommended information into the training materials because their process utilizes monitoring of EMS personnel and decontamination as appropriate after the patient is transferred to hospital personnel. The State will continue to emphasize the use of double gloves and booties in the annual training.

c. The State of Kansas reports that new booties have recently been purchased that are more substantial and will effectively stretch over the larger size shoes. The practice of glove changes Will be stressed in the annual training by the State. In their annual training, the State will stress that additional gloves need to be carried in their pockets so glove changes are possible. It is EMS crewmembers' routine practice to carry a supply of gloves within their clothing. They do not want to add a box of gloves to the supplies, because one size of gloves does not fit all responders.
