-EXERCISE BASIS I On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response.
DHS/FEMA activities are conducted pursuant to Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.The FEMA Title 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/FEMA initial and continued approval of State and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local governments' participation in joint exercises with licensees.
DHS/FEMA responsibilities:
fadiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:
.-Taking the lead in offsite emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;
- Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of I observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; I* Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and 4I I Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station* Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:-U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,-U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,-U.S. Department of Energy,-U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,-U.S. Department of Transportation,-U.S. Department of Agriculture,-U.S. Department of the Interior, and-U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.Formal submission of the RERPs for the Byron Station to FEMA Region V by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 28, 1982. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on September 12, 1984, under 44 CFR 350.A Medical Services Drill (MS-1) was conducted on May 18, 2010, by DHS/FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Bryon Station. The purpose of this drill report is to present the drill results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal Evaluation Team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairman, and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.

-this criterion narrative is contained in the Criterion 6.d. 1 section.Criterion 6.d.l: The medical facility portion of this drill was conducted in the contaminated patient trauma room located adjacent to the ambulance bay at OSF St. Anthony's Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois.
This room is designated the Radiological Emergency Area (REA) for radiological medical emergencies, and it is separated via corridor and entrance doors from the emergency rooms (ERs) and intensive care unit of the hospital.The hospital has several forms of communications available, including Medical Emergency Radio Communications of Illinois (MERCI) radio, a Motorola StarCom telephone device operating on the State-wide 800 MHz radio system with numerous talk group capability, the Emergency Communications Registered Nurse (ECRN) telephone for receiving emergency calls involving the ER, multi-line telephones, cellular telephones for backup, numerous desktop computers with E-mail and internet capability including medical reporting via the Illinois Department of Public Health. internet site, and a red telephone dedicated to making outside calls in the event of a loss of emergency backup power.Personal dosimetry for the nuclear medicine and radiological emergency medical staff consists of Landauer + Luxor Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLs) with change out dates of May 1, 2010, and Landauer Ring Thermoluminescence Dosimeters with change out dates of May 1, 2010. The radiation survey meter used by the Nuclear Medicine Coordinator (NMC) in 13 Unclassified I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station the REA was a Ludlum 14C using a Ludlum Model 44-9 pancake GM detector.
The Ludlum 14C has, four scales for use with the external detector:
XO.1, X1, X10 and X100. The X1000 3 scale is applicable only for use with the internal detector and is good only for measuring in R/Hr.Otherwise, using the lower four scales the Ludlum 14C has a range of either 0 to 660,000 cpm or i 0 to 200 mR/Hr. The survey meter was calibrated on April 30, 2010 and was due calibration on April 30, 2011. Also, the survey meter was operationally checked using a 1 uCi Cs-137 check source prior to being placed into service.Additional equipment and supplies for use in the REA consisted of boxes containing plastic surgical gowns, surgical gloves, surgical head covers, surgical shoe covers, surgical masks, face shields, Tyvek suits if needed, a rolling tool kit for performing on-the-spot maintenance, tape, i two yellow 50-gallon rolling drums with yellow plastic liners for collecting contaminated waste, barrier tape for marking off the REA, step-off pads from preventing the spread of contamination beyond the REA, standard operating procedures, and administrative supplies including recording forms. The REA was equipped with two wall-mounted water spraying stations, stainless steel cabinets and a sink, and a floor drain to a contaminated liquid holding tank. The gurney used for contaminated patients was constructed of white PVC tubing with a blue mesh cover to facilitate drainage.
The decontamination gurney was equipped with four rollers to allow easy movement of the gurney. The REA was also equipped with a wall-mounted telephone and a wall-mounted medical center public address speaker. i At 0921 hours0.0107 days <br />0.256 hours <br />0.00152 weeks <br />3.504405e-4 months <br />, the duty nurse was contacted by the ambulance carrying the injured contaminated patient on the ECRN cordless phone and informed of an estimated arrival in five minutes. The i duty nurse recorded the patient's vitals as a blood pressure (B/P) of 130/100, pulse of 110 and respirations of 16. The call was completed at 0922 hours0.0107 days <br />0.256 hours <br />0.00152 weeks <br />3.50821e-4 months <br />, the nurse promptly notified the 5 medical center's Emergency Coordinator (EC) of the pending arrival of an injured contaminated patient. The REA staff was instructed to complete the set up of the REA.Upon arrival back at the REA from the duty nurse's station, the REA was set up, and the REA staff was completing getting dressed out to receive the contaminated injured patient. The Buffer i Zone Nurse's station was set up outside the REA doorway leading into the hallway, and a step-off pad was placed on the floor just outside the REA entrance and held down with yellow 3 contamination border tape. The other members of the REA staff included a Registered Nurse (RN), an Orthopedic Technician (OT), and a Decontamination Technician (DT) from the Nuclear Medicine Department.
Another RN served as the Buffer Zone Nurse for recording REA 14 I Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station activities and providing guidance.
Shortly after the arrival of the contaminated injured patient, a physician was present outside of the REA to obtain additional information from the patient and to observe and direct the activities of the medical staff in the REA.The two yellow 50-gallon plastic drums were placed in the REA and lined with yellow plastic bags inserted in them for containing contaminated waste. The Buffer Zone Nurse and three medical center staff in the REA were dressed out in plastic surgical gowns, two pairs of surgical gloves, surgical shoe covers, surgical caps, surgical masks and plastic face shields. The principal method for decontaminating the patient consisted of multi-layered surgical sponges and Baxter 0.9% sodium chloride irrigation solution.
A sufficient amount of surgical sponges and irrigation solution were available in the REA, and radiation emergency response instructions were posted to an REA wall.At approximately 0928 hours0.0107 days <br />0.258 hours <br />0.00153 weeks <br />3.53104e-4 months <br />, the Lifeline Ambulance arrived outside the entrance to the REA, and the patient transfer was completed and the patient was in the REA at 0932 hours0.0108 days <br />0.259 hours <br />0.00154 weeks <br />3.54626e-4 months <br />. The patient was cocooned in layers of blankets and the patient was transferred from the ambulance gurney to the REA gurney at the designated, marked contamination control line without either the ambulance crew or REA staff violating approved radiation safety protocols.
As the DT began monitoring the patient, the RN and OT were obtaining patient vitals and assessing the patient's condition.
The preliminary vitals obtained were: levels of consciousness
-alert and oriented X3, respiration
-12, pulse -75, skin -normal, pupils -PERL, B/P -130/85, and visual -slight swelling and bruising of left arm and hip. The patient informed the RN that left hip hurt a little, and that his left hand hurt a-little more. The patient also informed the RN that he was allergic to Penicillin and Vicodin. Also, upon completing the checking of the patient's vitals and evaluating his injuries, the RN and OT promptly changed out their outer surgical gloves.Upon completion of the first radiation monitoring the following areas had significant amounts of contamination, well above twice times a background of 60 cpm: right palm -3,000 cpm, left palm -1,200 cpm, left injured hand -800 cpm. The only other area that showed any significant activity above background was the left loWet arm with a contamination level of 100 cpm.Both the RN and OT began decontaminating the affected areas on the patient using the multi-layered surgical sponges soaked with the irrigation solution.
Upon completing the first round of 15 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station decontamination, the RN and OT promptly changed out their outer surgical gloves.After completing the second radiation survey of the patient, the back of the left hand had a contamination level of 600 cpm, the left palm had a level of 1,000 cpm, the right palm had a level 1,700. cpm and the back of the right hand was at background.
During the course of this activity, the physician was communicating with the patient and I overseeing the monitoring and decontamination activities.
I After the second decontamination attempt, the previously contaminated areas of the patient were re-monitored and found to be at background levels. At this point the RN and OT performed a U second evaluation of the patient and the following vitals were obtained:
level of consciousness
-alert and oriented X3, respiration
-8, pulse -65, skin -normal, pupils -PERL, B/P -120/75, and visual -slight swelling and bruising of left arm and hip.Upon completion of the second patient evaluation, the patient was determined to be medically cleared to exit the REA. The patient was able to walk to the inside of the doorway with the step-off pad and was re-monitored prior to being permitted to advance to the step-off pad. The patient departed the REA at 0955 hours0.0111 days <br />0.265 hours <br />0.00158 weeks <br />3.633775e-4 months <br />.The RN demonstrated doffing the surgical ensemble with the assistance of the DT. The RN I followed the prescribed doffing procedure and was released from the REA.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures, and extent-of-play agreement.

The demonstration was conducted during an out-of-sequence activity on May 18, 2010 at St. Anthony's Medical Center at 5666 East State Street, Rockford, Illinois.The out-of-sequence Medical Services Drill commenced at the St. Anthony's Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois at 0900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br />. Lifeline Ambulance Service provided the transportation for a contaminated injured patient (simulated) originating at the officer's assigned Traffic and Access Control Point. The officer was manning his post when he was struck by a vehicle that was driven by a distraught citizen who was evacuating from the Byron EPZ and was reporting to the Jefferson High School Reception Center.The contamination levels and the extent of injury were provided by the controller to the ambulance crew. The ambulance crew obtained some background information from the patient, including any allergic reactions to medications and extent of pain, which was injected as slight swelling and bruising of left arm and hip, and called the hospital to inform them of the pending arrival of a contaminated patient and briefly discussed the extent of injuries.
The crew then prepared the patient for transport to the hospital.
The clothing was cut-off the patient taking into account the areas of contamination and therefore the direction of clothing removal. The removed items were bagged to control the spread of contamination.
The patient was cocooned in three layers of sheets and a blanket and lifted into the ambulance.
Once in the ambulance, vital signs were taken, due to the mechanism of injury only a blood pressure was taken and the cuff remained inside of the cocoon to prevent further spread of 17 Unclassified I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan .Byron Station contamination.
The ambulance crew had appropriately worn the, proper personal protection equipment and conducted numerous glove changes to prevent cross contamination.
The removed gloves were placed in a red biohazard bag which was sealed and properly disposed of after the patient was transferred to hospital personnel.
3 While enroute to the hospital, the ambulance crew called the hospital by cellular phone, (which was one of two communication methods to contact the hospital, the other form of communication demonstrated was a VHF radio which is tested at the beginning of every shift as per procedures), and informed the hospital of the condition of the patient and the estimated time 3 of arrival. The patient stated that there was pain but it was not severe enough to warrant administration of medication.
This was one of the indications of the strong team work and i communications between the crew members and the Medical Radiation Technician (MRT).Upon arrival at the hospital, the patient was transferred to a hospital gurney minimizing any i potential spread of contamination.
The patient was taken by the St. Anthony's Medical Center staff into a treatment room that was prepared prior to the patient's arrival. The MRT described and demonstrated the procedure for the handling of the patient's contaminated clothing and/or personal items. 3 The IEMA MRT conducted a function check of his Ludlum 2241 survey instrument S/N PR223014 and pancake probe S/N 18841 also included in his instrument case was a NA1 2x2 S/N PR223240 tube probe, a Alpha probe S/N PR21999 and a Bicron Instrument S/N A774Q all were functioning properly, the MRT used the Ludlum 2241 with a pancake probe, which was 3 operationally checked with a 1 micro/curie check source and was found to be functioning within range. The MRT also obtained a background reading of 46 cpm and began to check ambulance 3 personnel and equipment.
After the offloading of the patient the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) were monitored by the MRT. One EMT was found to have no contamination, the other EMT was scanned by the MRT and was found to have a reading of over I 1000 cpm. The MRT continued scan of EMT and still found readings of over 1000 cpm. The MRT checked instrumentation to ensure proper function.
The higher readings could not be 3 explained until the MRT discovered that the EMT had recently had a stress test and that a radioactive substance was used during the stress test, which explains the high readings.
After the 3 survey of all of the ambulance and equipment, there was no contamination found. The ambulance crew and the MRT were interviewed and properly explained the procedures for decontamination of equipment and personnel in the event that they were contaminated.

ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL DRILL
Introduction:
An offsite medical drill will be conducted to demonstrate the State of Illinois' concept of operations for handling contaminated injured individuals.
The drill is structured to address MS-1 Hospital and Transportation criteria.NOTE: Evaluators should be aware that this drill will originate within the EPZ and IEMA staff will not be present during the transportation portion. Transportation staff will be responsible for preventing contamination spread to the extent possible.
Hospital personnel are encouraged to assume responsibility for monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control activities within their facility to the extent they are able to do so, they are advised to take direction from Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) personnel regarding these issues. Hospital staff may call IEMA for direction and advice. The purpose of providing IEMA support is to ensure appropriate radiation protection protocols are observed.Extent of Play: Byron Nuclear Power Station has declared a general emergency.
The emergency alert sirens have sounded, the public has been directed to evacuate affected areas and to report to reception centers set up in the local area. The scenario is based on County Deputy who was assigned to a traffic control point traffic in an evacuation route. The deputy was at his assigned work location when he was struck by a vehicle. The vehicle was being driven by a distraught citizen who was evacuating from the Byron EPZ and reporting to the Thomas Jefferson High School Reception Center. [Radiation monitoring and if necessary, decontamination of evacuees is provided for at these facilities by staff from TEMA under the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents (IPRA).]NOTE: Evaluators should be aware that the dosimetry worn by the county deputy is issued in accordance with IPRA procedures and will not be an evaluated portion of this drill. Dosimetry evaluation will occur independent from the MS 1 evaluation.
In addition, traffic control and access will not be demonstrated during this exercise and this example was.given to support exercise intent.1. An ambulance and EMS staff will be used to demonstrate loading, transporting and unloading the victim. EMS personnel will pick up the patient at a staged location close to the hospital.
IEMA staff and the patient will be pre-staged for the ambulance arrival.2. The ambulance crew will communicate with the receiving hospital regarding the medical status and contamination levels associated with the patient.3. Upon patient's arrival a representative from the hospital will provide radiological exposure control and monitoring of EMS and Hospital personnel until IEMA medical radiation technician arrives.4. Once the IEMA medical radiation hnician arrives, he/she will assist with ingress and egress of radiological control areas and recommend limited access into the radiological control area. Monitoring will be performed prior to personnel leaving the potentially contaminated patient treatment area. Protective clothing used by Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station hospital personnel will be similar to that used for a chemical or biological agent in accordance with hospital protocol.5. Decontamination is determinant on ambulance protocols and injury that the patient presents.6. The IEMA medical radiation technician will assist with ingress and egress of radiological control areas and supervise the access into the radiological control area.Monitoring will be performed prior to personnel leaving the potentially contaminated patient treatment area. Protective clothing used by hospital personnel will be identical to that used for a chemical or biological agent in accordance with hospital protocol.7. Upon arriving at the hospital, the supervision of contamination control and medical radiation technician and activities remain the responsibility of JEMA. Hospital nuclear medicine personnel that are trained and properly equipped to address monitoring functions will assist to the extent necessary with monitoring and contamination control activities.
- 8. The medical facility will demonstrate or describe their procedures for the medical treatment and necessary decontamination of a contaminated injured individual.
Multiple methods of decontamination, including dry, damp or wet, may be utilized for the removal of contamination.
JEMA/Nuclearmedicine personnel will survey the hospital and medical personnel to maintain contamination control. These methods will include taking swipes of floors and surfaces so that the hospital and ambulance can be cleared for normal operations..
- 9. Emergency medical personnel will be able to maintain their exposure below the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 because for the exercise, the dose rate from the patient is below 2 mr/hr.10. After the Hospital is notified, Hospital personnel will prepare the area to receive the patient in accordance with their procedures and provide security as necessary.
IEMA as a general practice would, if necessary, post radiation signs in accordance with the requirements.
as set forth in 10 CFR Part 20. Hospital security will control the area in accordance with the same policies and procedures used to provide isolation in the treatment of a chemical or biological agent. ., 11. Regardless of specific written hospital procedures for addressing radiation contamination, the supervision and advice provided by JEMA personnel should be the governing guidance for determining whether the patient's contamination situation is appropriately addressed.
The drill shall terminate when the controller verifies that the criteria under Evaluation Area 6, Sub-element 6.d and Evaluation Area 3, Sub-element 3.a. 1, have been satisfied.
30 I Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station NARRATIVE
SUMMARY
FOR ST. ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL DRILL Byron Nuclear Power Station has declared a general emergency.
The emergency alert sirens have sounded; the public has been directed to evacuate affected areas and to report to reception centers set up in the local area reception center located in Rockford, Illinois.
Radiation monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination, of evacuees is provided for at these facilities by staff from IEMA under the Illinois Plant for Radiological Accidents (IPRA).A county deputy is controlling traffic at a traffic control point when he is struck by a vehicle driven by an evacuee. The deputy is not severely injured, but is in quite a bit of pain and needs to seek treatment.
He calls for back up to replace him and his commanding officer calls an ambulance to the officer's location so he/she may be transported to a local hospital for medical assistance.
The deputy maintains his post while waiting for backup and the ambulance to arrive.Decontamination is determinant on ambulance protocols and injury the patient presents as well as ambulance protocol.
Lifeline Ambulance personnel will demonstrate patient loading and transport.
Lifeline Ambulance personnel will communicate with the receiving hospital.Patient contact dose rates are less than 2 mR/hr. Contamination levels will be less than 5,000 cpm, which means EMS personnel are exempt from direct read dosimeters and LDs in accordance with IEMA procedures for personnel monitoring.
At the hospital, medical personnel will utilize universal precautions and good housekeeping practices to ensure contamination from the patient is controlled and not spread. Simple decontamination efforts will be demonstrated after the patient has been medically stabilized.
Hospital personnel will demonstrate their knowledge of who to call beyond IEMA for assistance in Radiological Accidents, e.g., REAC/TS.For purposes of the exercise, if there is no medical need to bring equipment into and out of the treatment room, nasal swabs will be taken (swabs to be taken outside the nose to simulate taking swabs inside the nose) and passed out of the room to demonstrate movement of equipment and supplies into and out of the controlled area.The drill will conclude with the hospital representative and IEMA personnel supervising the removal of protective clothing and survey of the emergency room and hospital personnel.
IEMA will also advise on the proper procedure for release or disposal of contaminated material.Following the conclusion of the drill, a short critique will be held.31 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)After Action Report/Improvement Plan Byron Station TIME: Pre t = 0 Victim Instructions MESSAGE FORM 0 Controller (X) Player ( ) Contingency Drill/Exercise Type: St. Anthony's Hospital Medical Drill Message for: Victim MESSAGE While directing and controlling traffic in the EPZ during the Byron evacuation you are struck by a motorist attempting to evacuate.
