Section 1: Exercise Overview 2011 WBN Plant REP Exercise 10

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Watts Bar Nuclear Plant REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design 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 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 2011 WBN REP Exercise was designed utilizing the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP is a capabilities and performance-based exercise program which provides a standardized policy, methodology and terminology for exercises. The use of HSEEP is intended to ensure that the REP program conforms to established best practices and helps provide unity and consistency of effort for exercises at all levels of government. Prior to the exercise, the design team conducted planning meetings on a regular basis which focused on identifying objectives, designing the scenario, creating documentation, coordinating logistics, planning exercise conduct, and selecting an evaluation and improvement methodology.

The results of this exercise together with the 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 visits enable 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 plant 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.

The Tennessee Multi-Jurisdiction Radiological Emergency Response Plan for the WBN Plant was formally submitted to FEMA by the State of Tennessee on April 12, 1996.

Title 44 CFR Part 350 approval was granted by FEMA on July 3, 1997.

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).

AAR 2011 Watts Bar Nuclear Plant REP Exercise welcome by the DACO. During briefings all branches were polled as to their current status and had the branch representatives review their expected actions for potential future actions.

The demonstrations met the requirements of this capability and REP criteria: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1 and 2.b.2 Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability Summary:

TEMA successfully demonstrated the capability to alert/warn, and notify the risk counties by coordinating the timely activation of the fixed sirens system and the Emergency Alert Systems (EAS).

The warning of the general public is the responsibility of local governments in coordination with the SEOC. The siren system located within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and the EAS were used to disseminate emergency information and warnings, to the public in accordance with the plan and were evaluated under the same capability at the Risk Counties. The DACO coordinated with the Risk Counties the time in which the sirens system was going to be activated and which EAS message was going to be disseminated each time.

The State Emergency Information Director (SEID) had the responsibility to assure all activities concerning the development, and coordination of emergency information was completed. The SEID under the direction of the DACO, prepared, coordinated and disseminated the correct EAS message to the Joint Information Center (JIC) and the Risk Counties.

Public inquiry staff at the EOC monitored telephone calls and maintained a watch on social media sites using provided computers to identify trends. Rumors where quickly identified and addressed properly, in accordance with the MJRERP Annex D-Public Information.

The State of Tennessee maintains its own web site for the public to obtain information and in addition uses Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other electronic means of both releasing information and monitoring public trends. The SEOC also allows the public to sign up for a service and receive information over cell phones, text messaging, and email.

The demonstrations met the requirements of this capability and REP criteria: 5.a.1 and 5.b.1 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 WBN Plant REP Exercise 16

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Watts Bar Nuclear Plant REP Exercise 3.2.1.2 Dose Assessment Hazardous Material Response and Decontamination Capability Summary:

The State of Tennessee successfully demonstrated this capability through the State response at two fixed facilities and activities of field monitoring teams (FTs). The State organization that has the primary responsibility for this capability is the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and specifically the Division of Radiological Health (DRH).

DRH personal were pre-positioned at their assigned locations in accordance with the Extent-of-Play agreement. All staff members were aware of the procedures that would be used to alert, notify and mobilize personnel in an actual event. There were redundant communication systems available in the fixed facilities and for the field teams, as well as adequate equipment, supplies, dosimetry and KI for the responders. All staff members understood exposure and exposure rate limits, for themselves and teams in the field.

DRH coordinated all offsite radiological monitoring. The State FTs were under the direct control of the staff in the Radiological Monitoring Coordinating Center (RMCC). RMCC staff members were aware of the location of the TVA offsite team and positioned the State FTs so that the most useful data could be obtained.

The State FTs made measurements in a fashion to determine the edges of the radioactive plume and the FTs depended on TVA teams to determine plume maximum readings.

This approach assured that the State FTs would not be exposed to doses approaching their emergency worker limits.

The FT reported their results to the RMCC which in turn reported the results to the Dose Assessment area in the SEOC. The Dose Assessment area staff also received WBN radiation monitoring instrument readings on a periodic basis along with TVA generated dose projections.

The DRH Radiation Control Officer (RCO) at the SEOC reviewed all available data and developed a PAR which was provided to the DACO. The RCO also reviewed all available data with the Medical Officer from the Department of Health to verify that the use of KI was appropriately implemented.

The demonstrations met the requirements of this capability and REP criteria: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.2, 3.a.1, 3.b.1, 4.a.1, 4.a.2 and 4.a.3 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 WBN Plant REP Exercise 17

This capability included EOC activation, notification, staffing, direction and control, and coordination of response activities.

Effective and efficient procedures were used to alert, notify and mobilize emergency personnel to meet the mission of the East TEMA Field Coordination Center (FCC) according to the MJRERP Annex B-Notification and Warning Plan.

The primary purpose of the FCC is to serve as a staging base to coordinate State and Federal resources sent to the area to support the local governments. The FCC coordinated with the RMCC in FTs and sampling efforts. The FCC has redundant communications systems to communicate with the Risk Counties and all the FCC Coordinators dispatched to the counties, in accordance with the MJRERP Annex C-Communications.

Personnel and resources coordinated by the FCC will include radiological monitoring teams, agriculture sample teams, physical security personnel, technical advisors, and other personnel as required. Incoming personnel from both State and Federal agencies may not be familiar with the assigned areas. The FCC is prepared to brief these personnel on the existing situation and provide maps, radio frequencies and procedures, and other essential information to enable them to function in the EPZ.

The FCC Director dispatched Area Coordinators to the counties after the Alert ECL. The Area Coordinators were responsible to brief the director on resources needed for the counties. The FCC Director and Deputy Director provided frequent briefings on plant conditions, emergency classification levels, and response activities. They demonstrated strong leadership and thorough knowledge of the State Emergency Response Plan and procedures.

Designated personnel with leadership roles in the FCC provided consistent direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they were responsible. During the briefing they used checklists to ensure the FCC was following the plan. Each work station was equipped with a telephone, and laptop computer. Information Technology support was available on site and communications was sufficient to support operations.

There were copies of plans available. The FCC staff members` and others agencies clearly understood their responsibilities, followed their procedures, and performed their functions in a coordinated and timely manner.

3.2.2.2 Joint Information Center Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability Summary:

The State of Tennessee successfully demonstrated the capability Emergency Public Information and Warning, at the JIC. The evaluation included activation, notification, staffing, direction and control and issuing of warnings.

TVA provides the preponderance of support materials to facilitate JIC and media operations in the JIC operations room, the Citizen Information Center/Rumor Control/

media monitoring location, the media update desk, media work area and media briefing room. All areas are well equipped and have redundancy in communications with landlines, cell phones, facsimiles, internet connectivity and state and utility radio systems, all of which were operational.

The JIC, a joint public and private sector organization, is lead by co-directors provided by the State and TVA. Upon activation, the JIC was the central location for the coordination and dissemination of emergency information while the SEOC maintains the responsibility for emergency instructions (e.g., protective action decision coordination/EAS message dissemination). The JIC Procedures clearly lay out the operations and roles of government and utility personnel assigned to this center.

Effective implementation of the joint information system (JIS) requires close coordination between the State and local PIOs in the JIC and the respective SEOC/local EOCs. The degree of coordination observed was exceptional both internal to the JIC and with external agencies and offices. Protocols for the reviewing and approval of messages by both co-directors was adhered to and accomplished without adversely affecting timely message release. There was some question as to the manner of TVA/SEOC emergency information message coordination prior to the JIC activation. There were no risk county media releases before JIC activation. In addition to using press releases and EAS messages, both TEMA and the TVA have embraced social networking as a means to provide emergency information to the public and media.

• Field Teams

• Demonstration by staff in the SEOC will be based on projected exposure. The Chief Medical Officer for the Tennessee Department of Health is located at the SEOC. After consultation with DRH, the Chief Medical Officer will make all decisions concerning the administration of KI to emergency workers. The Chief Medical Officer and other staff in the SEOC/Local EOCs will be available for procedural discussions with evaluators.

2.6 The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates.

(Sub-Element 4.a., Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses, Criterion 4.a.1: NUREG-0654, H.10; I.7, 8, 9)

• Field Teams

• Five (5) Field Teams, four (4) to be evaluated and one (1) in training, will utilize appropriate instrumentation and guidelines as established in DRH Standard Operating Procedures.

2.7 Field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure.

(Sub-Element 4.a., Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses, Criterion 4.a.2: NUREG-0654, H.12; I.8, 11; J.10.a)

• SEOC (Dose), FCC/RMCC

• Field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure. All field teams will be under the direction of the RMCC.

2.8 Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media.

• Four (4) field-monitoring teams will be evaluated. Each field team will obtain at least one air sample with a minimum sample volume of 10 cubic feet. The particulate filter and absorber media cartridge will be bagged, labeled and transported to a collection point for simulated transport to a laboratory. Field monitoring data will be injected by controllers supporting the exercise, and be transmitted by the teams to the RMCC over the normal communications network (portable hand-held/vehicle mounted radios). Cellular telephones will be utilized for back-up communications.

• The 45th CST will be in training (observer status). The number of teams TBD.
