SUMMARY

On Oc~ober* 16, 2018, a full~sca_le Plume Exposure Pathway exercise was conducted and *eval_uated for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around tll_e Susquehanna Steam .Electric Station (SSE~) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FE.MA), Region lit *. The previous ~11-scale exercise at th.is site was evaluated op. October 18, 2016. Out-:of:Sequence demonstrations

"'.ere conducted on Octob~r 1, 2018, 0.ctqber 16, 20 \ 8, ~nd October 17, 2.018. Th~ purpose*ofthe.Exercise

~nd Out-of-,Seqµence demons~rations was to assess th~ capabilitie~

of. State, counties, and local juri~dictions to implement Radiol.ogical Emergency Pl~ns atjd Procedures (RERP) tq protect the property and lives of reside11ts and transients in the event of an emergency*

at SSES. The findings in thi,s rep~rt are b~sed on the evaluatio*ns of the Federal evaluation team; with final determinations made by the FEMA, Region III Regional Assist~n~e Committee (RAC) Cbairperson, and apprqyed by FEMA Headquarters.

These reports a~e p~o.vi~ed to the NucleB:r Regulatory Commission (NRC) and participating Stat¢S. State and local g~vernments utilize the findings coniained in these reports . for the purposes of pianning, training~

and improving

~rnergency pr~paredness. ' . The evaluation of this Exercise d~teiniined that there were no-Level 1 Findings; two Level 2 Findings, which we're resolved 4uring a te-4e~onstration on November 28, 2018; and two Plan Iss1,1es (PI), which were resolved during the ~xercise week on October t8,.2018:.

Ali prior Issues we~e resolved during the exercise.

A LeveJ i Finding is defined by the FEMA. Radiological . . Eplergericy Preparedness Program Manua_l as follo_ws: "An observed or identified inadequacy or organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a determ.irtation.

that .offsite . emergency prepatedn.ess is not adeqtiate to provide teasonable assurance that. appropriate protective*meas1,1res can be* taken 1h th.e event of a.radiologic.al emergency to protect the health . and safety of the public living in the Vicinity' of a.Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)." A Level 2 . Finding is defined as: "An observed or identified inadequacy of orga,iiza.tjonal performa~ce in an ~xercise that is not considered, by itself, to ad~ersely impact p~blic health and safety.;'

Fin~lly, a Planriing Issue is: ,iAri observed or identifie9 inadequacy in the ORO's emergency plan/impleinentin~

procedures, ~ather than that c:ifthe ORO's perform.ante.".

FEMA wish¢s to *acknowle4ge the efforts of many indivi~ual~

in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and.the risk jurisdictions of Columbia County, and Luzerne County; and the supporting Counties*of Lackawanna, Lycoming, Montour, Northumbetla~d, Schtiylkil.l, Union and Wyoming. Protecting the public health and s~fefy is the fulHimeJob of som~ of the exercise particip~nts and an a~ditional assigned responsibjlity for others. Still .others h~ve willingly sough,t this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emerge11cy services h> their communities

.. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants weri evident quring the exercise.* 5 . .,.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise

Purpose and Design On December 7, 1979, the 'President directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to'assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response.

FEMA's activities were conducted pursuant to44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350,351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radi0Jogi9al Eip.ergency' Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident ~n March 1979 . . 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedure*s for FEMA's initial and continued approval of.State and local governments' radiological emergency pl_ahning and preparedness for commercial nuclear p_ower plants. Th.is approval is contingent, in part, on St~te and 10,cal government participation in joint exercises with licensee's; FEMA's responsibiHties in *

radiological.~mergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following. : . . . . A. T~king the* 1ead in offsite emergency plap.ning and in the review and evaluation of *Radiological Emei'$ency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedure_s developed by State and local governments; . B. Determining whether such plans and procedures can be impl,emented on the basis of

observation and evaluation of exercises conducted by State and local governments*;

C. Responding.to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to*the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC artd FEMA dated December 7, 2015 (Federal Register, Vol. 81, No. 57, March 24, 2016); .

D. Coordinating the activities of the following Federµ.l agencies with r~sponsibilities in the radiological emergency pianning process: . -U.S. Department of Commerce, :-U.S. Nuclear Regulat(?ry

<;oinmission, -*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*ofthe Interior; and -U.S. Food and Drug Administration 17 Unclassified After Action Report Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Representatives of these agencies serve on the.Region III Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA. A REP Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted during ~he week of October 15, 20"18, 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

emerg_ency involving the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES). The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and . findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings pres.ented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team, with final detertninations made *by the FEMA Region III RAC Chairperson and*approved by FEMA Headquarters

.. These repqrts are provided to the NRC and participating States. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency response capabilities. *

The criteria utilized in_the FEMA evaluation.process are contained in the following:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of, Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, "November 1980; .

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manual, January 2016; Section 1 of this report entitled "Exercise Overview" presents the Exercise Planning Team" and ' the Participating Organizations." Section 2 of this report entitled "Exercise Design Summary" includes the "Exercise Purpose and. Design", "Exercise Objectives, Capabiiities*apd Activities", and the "Scenario Summary".

' ' ' Section 3 of this report entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed "Exercise Evaluation and Results" *information on the demonstration f9r each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a ju~isd-iction-based, issue-only format (Criteria Evaluation Summaries)..

Section 4 of this report entitled "Demonstrated Strengths" includes exemplary performances that were demonstrated during the exercise and information on best" practices that were observed.

The plant is owned and operated by Talen Energy, LLC. Two boiling water reactors generate an electri9al output 0.f 1,1.94 megawatts each. *unit"l began co~nierc_ial operation On June 8~ 1983, aild Unit 2 on.February 12, 1985 .. The ~ite encompasses 2,566 acres and.is divided into two parts. The principal*portion, containing the major operating equipment and buildings, *is located 3,000 f~et w_est of the rivet.

The other portion houses the water intak~ apparatus located. near D.S. Route 11: U.S. Route 11 passes through the site in a north/south direction;provi~ing both primary and SeC(?ndary access to the plant. 'the plant occupies appro~imat~ly 100 acres o°f the site: the coordinate~

are a~proximately 4ldegtees 5 feet 30 inches north and 76 d~grees 8 feet 55 inches west: . The topography of the *plant site is hiily, with elevations rarigiJ;1g from 500 fet;'t aboye mean sea* level.(MSL) at the river to about 1,100 feet above MsL.at the northwest:

comer oft~e "site. The . plant grade is 670 feet above MSL The_mini~um' exclusion dlstatjce is l,80*0 feet; all land

within the exclu~ion area IS owned by SSES. The surface soil-in the area is ~onsidered to be . glaci,l out-wash _and gl_acial till,soils, which* are typical of uplands and t~rraces.

The bedrock . consists of primary of red shale ofthe*Catskill formation.

The immediate vicinity of.the plant is r,ural, surrounded by farms 11nd undeveioped land .. A total of 112 sirens are used for notification ofthe public; the sfreris were installed for coverage of the plunie exposure pathway. According to 2010 census data, th*e nearest population center is Shickshinny Borough, Luzerne County, *with * *a population of 838, located *about four.miles north of the plant. The nearesrpopulation center with more than 25~000 people* is the City of Hazleton, with a populatioh of25,340, located 13 miles to the so1,1thwest.

The Berwick Ajrfield in Salem Township~

Luzeri1(?

County, serves private _aircraft and lies approximately five miles west of th_e plant. The airfield presents no risk to the plant_. The clos~st major airport is the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Ajrport, located 32 miles northeast of the site. The 10-mile EPZ cm1tains an estimated population of 71,301, according to 2010 censu.s d~ta.

i9 Unclassified After Action Report Susquehanna Steam Electric Station 2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities The objectives of the 2018 Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) Plume Exercise were to demonstrate the capabilities of State. and local emergency management agencies to mobilize emergency management and emergency response personnel, to activate emergency operations centers and' support facilities, and to protect the health, lives, and p~operty of the citizens residing within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). To demonstrate the ability to communicate between multiple l~vels of government and provide timely, accurate, and sufficiently detailed inform.ation to the public, the emergency management agencies use a variety qf resourc~s, including radios, telephones, ~he Internet, the medif1, the

Em~rgency AJert System (EAS), and the utility Alert and Not~fication System (ANS) Sirens. All cominunic!lt~~n resO:urces were employed and evaluated.

The EAS and ANS were simulated artd media infornration was prep11-red but not actually released.

An esse_ntial capability of th~ Radiological Emerge~cy Preparedness Program (REPP) is to . evacuate, monitor and decqntaminate, if necess~ry, and provide temp9rary care and shelter to displaced residents from the EPZ.

The ability oft.he risk/support counties to mobilize p~rsonnel and resources to establish reception, monitorin$

and decontamination, and mass care centers was demonstrated.

The protection of school chilqren is als.o a vital mission of the RE~P. School districts and selected schools demonstrated the capability to communicate and coordinate the collection, evac~ation, transportati<:m and shelter of stud~nts atte~ding schools within the EPZ. Provisions for students who live within the EPZ but attend school outside were also evaluated.

of Protective Actions for Schools CONDITION:

In accordance with the Northwest Area School District Plan, school . children were being evacuated only when the Governor ordered the evacuation of the general public at the General Emergency Classification Level. Also, school children ind school staff were not provided with potassium iodide (Ki) tablets that were available to the general public who were being evacuated or sheltered in place. Irt addition, a precautionary relocatiqn of school children and staff to a host school at a Site Area Emergency Classification Level was not included in the School District M~ .

C. Mass Care Walk-downs*

On October 1, 2018 two (2) mass care centers in Schuylkill County will receive . "walk-down" baseline evaluations.

The evaluation will consist of a review of the fa~ility to include capacity lnnits ~nd functional.ity of utilitjes.

These facilitie~

are shelters o"tily. These 2 mass care centers will n~t be evaluated dur-ing the evening of October 16, 2018. * * *

81 After Action Report Unclassified Susquehanna Steam Electric Station The mass care walk-down will have team(s) consisting of a FEMA Evaluator, PEMA, County Repre*sentative, ARC *Representative, and Talen Energy

Representative ( optional). , The mass care centers mentioned will have a team enter the facility to verify layout, usable common areas, square footage estimate, and capability of being used as a mass care facility.

A walk down assessment of mass care facilities scheduled for evaluation will be acc_omplished to satisfy FEMA's evaluation process.

XII. Stand-down All jurisdictions will request approval on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis prior to stand-down.

Upon completion of all requirements and after having been informed *by the FEMA evaluator that all evaluation areas have been demonstrated and/or completed, the risk municipality.

EOCs may request approval from their county EOC to stand-down their portion of the exercise.

A. Support counties may*request approval to stand-down upon completion of all evaluated objectives from the CRCC. B~ The risk county EOC will remain.operational until the exercise is officially terminated by the State Lead Controli~r.

The CRCC will issue an Exercise Termination Message. NOTE: For the SSES Exerci~e, FEMA will not make decisions on exercise terminations.

PEMA will terminate exercise as deeined appropriate.

XIII. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency.

Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given ..

scenario.

The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficie11t expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events a_s they. occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Furthermore, if;*by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and th~ appropriate negative assessment applied. * *

XIV. Re-demonstrations During the exercise, any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants_provided it does not negatively-interfere with the exercise.

Refresher trainirig may be provided by the players, observers, and/or

controllers.

Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. demonstratfons will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluators.

PEMA may advise the Project Manager or RAC Chair prior to initiating

any re-demonstrations.

It is permissible to extend th_e demonstration window, within reason, to accommodate the re-demonstration.

Activities corrected from a re-demonstration will be so noted. 82 * * * *

Activation of facilities and staff, including those associated with the Incident Command System, must be completed in accordance . with ORO plans/procedures.

The location and coritact information for facilities included in the . incident .cominand must be available to all appropriate responding agencies and the NPP after. these facilities have been' activated.

Pre-positioning of emergency personnel is appropriate, in accordance

~ith the Extent-of-Play

Agreement, at those facilities loc*ated beyond a normal commuting distarice from the individual's duty location or residen,ce.

techniques), only coordination among the incident command, th~ utiHty, and ali appropriate OROs, pursuant to plans/procedurei 83 Unclassified After Action Report Susquehanna Steam Electric Stati.on Initial law enforcement, fire s~rvice, HAZMA T, and emergency medical response to the NPP site may impact the ability to staff REP functions.

The ability to identify and request additional

resources or identify compensatory measures must be demonstrated.

Exercises must also address the role of mutual aid in the incident, as appropriate.

An integral part of the response to an HAB

Any resources must be on the ORO's mobili~ation list so they. can be contacted during an incident, if needed. All activities must be based on the ORO's plans/procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise specified in the Extent-of-Play Agreement.

PEMA .Negotiated Extent-of-Play:

Pre-positioning of personnel at Risk.and Support Counties and Municipal Emergency Operations Centers is appropriate due to the commuting distance from the individual's duty location or residence.

Risk counties/municipalities will demonstrate the ability to mobilize key personnel and may demonstrate by supplying phone lists or contacting key personnel by any commonly used system.

In all instances, the demonstration of a shift change is NOT required.

Workers may use any available resources (e.g., written procedures and/or.coworkers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission. In such cases, adequate control of exposure can be achieved for all team members tising one dire~t-reading dosimeter worn by the teain leader. Emergency workers assigned to low-exposure rate fixed facilities ( e.g., EOCs and communications center within the EPZ, reception centers; and counting laboratories) may have individuai direct-reading dosimeters or they may" be monitored using group dosimetry (i.e*., direct~reading dosi_meters strategically placed in the work area): Each team member-must still have his or her own permanent record dosimetry.

INTENT This Sub-element is derived from*NUREG0654/FEMA-REP-l, which requires that OROs have the capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency workers and their equipment, inclusive.of ve,hicles.

Criterion 6.b.1: The facility/ORO has adequateprocedures and resources to accomplish monitoring and decontamination of emergency workers and their equipment and vehicles. (JVUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, K.5.a, b) Assessment/Extent-of-Play Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a biennial exercise, driils, an actual event, or SA V. The monitoring staff must demonstrate the capability to monitor .emergency worker personnel and their equipment and vehicles for contamination in accQrdance with the ORO's plans/procedures.

Specific attention must be given to equipment, including any vehicles that were in *contact with contamination.

The monitoring staff must demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination ofpersonpel, equipinent, and vehicles based on trigger/action levels and procedures stated _in the ORO plans/procedures.

Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the 12-hour i:-eguirement.

However, appropriate monitoring procedures must be demonstrated

for a minimum of tw.o emergency workers and their equipment and vehicles.

Before using monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) must demonstrate the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper ~peration:

* * . The area to be used for.monitoring and decontamination must be set up ~s it would be in an actual emergency, with all route markings, instrumentation, record keeping, and containinatiort control measures in place. Monitoring procedures must be demonstrated for a minimum of one vehicle. It is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface *of vehicles. However, the

capability to monitor areas such .as radiator grills, bumpers, wheel wells, tires, and door handles niust be dem.onstrated.

Interior surfaces of vehicles that were in contact with contaminated individuals must also be checked.

Decontamination of emergency workers_ may be simulated and conducted via interview.

Provisions for separate showering and sam,e-sex decontamination must be demonstrated or

explained.

The staff must demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination.

Provisions could include floor coverings, signs, and appropriate means ( e.g., partitions, roped".'off areas) to separattfuricontiunihatea*trom

'f>otelitially cohtam:inated areas. Provisions must also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals where applicable; provide changes of clothing for those with contaminated clothing; and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further c.ontamination of emergency workers or facilities:

i3i Unclassified After Action Report Sub-element 6.c:.... Temporary Care of Evacuees INTENT Susquehanna Steam Electric Station This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, whi~h requires OROs to have the capability to establish relocation centers in host/support jurisdictions.

The American Red Cross normally provi4es congregate care in support of OROs µnder existing letters ofagreement.

Criterion

6. c.1: Man agers of congregate care fa_cilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to* provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines.

Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been. monitored fo.r contamination and have been* decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering fOngregate care facilities. (NUREG~0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.h, J.12) Assessment/Extent-of-~lay

Assessment ofthi~ Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a biennial exercise,

drills, an actual event, or SA V.

The evaluator must conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with applicable guidance.

For planning purposes, OROs must plan for a sufficient number of congregate

~are centers in host/s~pport jurisdictions based on their all-hazard sheltering experience and what is historically relevant for that particular area. In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operat.ions as they would be in an actual emergency.

Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up

stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees .. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this criterion, .exercise demonstration expectations mus.t be clearly specified in Extent-of-Play Agreements. . . . . Congregate care staff must also demonstrate the -capability to ensure that evacuees, service animals, and vehicles have been monitored for contamination, decontaminated as appropriate, and registered before entering.the facility.

Individuals arriving at congregate care facilities must have means (e.g., hand stamp, sticker, bracelet, form; et~.) indicating that they, and their service animals and vehicles, where applicable; have been placed in a secured area or monitored, cleared, and found to have no. contamination or contamination below the trigger/action level. In accordance with plans/procedures, individuals found to be clean after monitoring do not need to* have their vehicle monitored.

These individuals do not need confirmation that. their vehicle is free from contamination I?rior to eriteritig the congregate care areas. However, those individuals who are found to be contaminated and are then decontaminated will have their vehicles held in a secure area unti_l they can be monitored and decontaminated (if applicable) and do need confirmation that their vehicle* is being held in a secure area or free from contamination prior to entering the congregate care areas. This capability may be determined through an interview process.
