I.Executive Summary On November 6, 2007, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the IO-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on August 30, 2005. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 7, 1981.

DHSlFEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Minnesota and the Counties of Sherburne and Wright who participated in this exercise.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all participants was evident during this exercise.

This Final Report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities: State of Minnesota: Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring, Decontamination, Registration, and Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination were demonstrated at the Princeton High School; Congregate Care Center was demonstrated at the South Elementary School; Medical Services (MS-

1) demonstration involving transporting and caring for a potentially contaminated and injured individual at the Fairview Northland Regional Hospital; and State of Minnesota Traffic and Access Control Point; Sherburne County Traffic and Access Control Point; Wright County: Rockford Fire Department Emergency Worker and Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination Center; Implementation of Protective Actions - School Interview (EV-2) - Monticello School District (Monticello Middle School); Implementation of Protective Actions - School Interview (EV-2) - Saint Michael-Albertville School District (Fieldstone Elementary School); Maple Lake School District.

The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.

There were no Deficiencies assessed to the State of Minnesota, Sherburne County, or Wright County.

There were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota. There was one ARCA from a previous exercise for the State of L

Minnesota that was resolved. There were no previous ARCAs for Sherburne County that were unresolved. There was one ARCA identified for Sherburne County that was I

successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise. There were no previous ARCAs for L Wright County that were unresolved. There was one ARCA identified for Wright County that was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise.

The ARCA for the State of Minnesota that was resolved was identified under Criterion 3.a.1, implementation of Emergency Worker Exposure Control. In the prior exercise on August 30, 2005, Emergency Workers assigned to Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination at the Princeton Reception Center were unfamiliar with Emergency i Worker Exposure Control protocols. On November 6 , 2007, Emergency Workers assigned to Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination demonstrated knowledge and practices consistent with procedures.

L Sherburne County received one ARCA which was identified under Criterion 3.b. 1, Implementation of the potassium iodide decision. The Sherburne County Radiological Defense Officer (RDO) and staff assigned to provide radiological briefings to Emergency Workers at the Sherburne County Emergency Operations Center initially misadvised the Emergency Workers to use potassium iodide in spite of allergies to shellfish or iodine. This ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise.

Wright County received one ARCA which was identified under Criterion 6.a.1, monitoring and decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers, whereby Emergency Workers assigned to the Emergency Worker Monitoring and Decontamination Station at Rockford Fire Department did not effectively prevent the spread of contamination in accordance with their procedure. This ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise.

2. In t roduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMAs activities are conducted pursuant to 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.

FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMAs 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.

FEMAs responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

Taking the lead in off-site 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 the evaluation of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; 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 Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emerge ncy pIan n ing process:

- U.S. Department of Agriculture;

- U S . Department of Energy;

- U S . Department of Health and Human Services;

- U.S. Department of the Interior;

- U.S. Department of Transportation;

- U S . Environmental Protection Agency;

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the MNGP to FEMA Region V by the State of ..-

Minnesota and involved local jurisdictions occurred on February 1, 1983. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on May IO, 1985, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on I

November 6, 2007 to assess the capabilities of State and local off-site emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (OROs) L 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 DHWFEMA Region V RAC Chairperson and approved by DHSlFEMA Headquarters. L The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-II Rev. 1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, November 1980; FEMA-REP-14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual, September 1991; and FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology as published in the Federal Register NoticeNol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

L 3.Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the November 6, 2007, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-L mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3. I.EPZ Description The MNGP is located within the city limits of Monticello, Minnesota. The plant consists of approximately 1500 acres of land. The northwest and southwest sectors are mainly L agricultural. The northeast and southeast sectors are urban and manufacturing. Part of this property is on the north bank of the Mississippi River in Sherburne County and part is on the south bank of Wright County. The northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis are about 30 miles southeast of the MNGP.

L The IO-mile EPZ for the MNGP consists of a circle with the utility at the center point.

The EPZ extends IO-miles outward in all directions from the plant for the plume exposure pathway planning zone and 50 miles outward for the IPZ. In the event of a serious accident, the plume exposure-planning zone will be in the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. The population in the MNGP IO-mile EPZ is 50,465. This figure represents the permanent population in the municipalities and unincorporated areas located in the IO-mile EPZ.

There are numerous lakes in the IO-mile EPZ, which are used for recreational purposes. Parts of Lake Saint Marie Park, Sand Dune State Forest and Game Refuge are within the IO-mile EPZ. The three major highways passing through the are Interstate 94, U.S. 10, and State Highways 25 and 55. Railroad access is available from the Burlington Northern. Major waterways are the Mississippi Scenic River and Crow River and the Elk River and Saint Francis River watersheds; however these waterways are not navigable. The Mississippi River flows from the northwest to southeast through the IO-mile EPZ. There are no major airports in the IO-mile EPZ.

4.2. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in a jurisdiction based, issues only format. Presented below is a definition of the terms used in this subsection relative to objective demonstration status.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.

Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.

Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criterion under which one or more ARCAs was assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise objectives which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Description of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises which were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.

Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Description of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises, which were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCAs remain unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues, which are discussed in this report.

A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency 15

to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant ."

An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety."

The DHS/FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among DHWFEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).

Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Code.

Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted Criterion Number - A two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register NoticelVol. 67, No. 80 dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.

Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Plan Issues are reported to the State via a letter from the Regional Director. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.

Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

ISSUE NO.: 39-05-3al-A-02 ISSUE: The Princeton Fire and Rescue Department personnel assigned to Evacuee Vehicle Monitoring did not know how to read their Direct-Reading Dosimeters (DRD), were not aware of the purpose and proper use of a personally assigned Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), were not aware to comply with the requirement to read the DRD every 30 minutes, were not aware that the accumulated dose action level as read on the DRD was 150 mR, and did not know that 3 R was the total whole body exposure limit.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination personnel properly wore their dosimetry (DRD and TLD),

periodically reading the DRD and passing the information to the Registration Center recorder over the radio. The personnel were interviewed and described and demonstrated the proper method of reading the DRDs. All personnel interviewed knew there administrative reporting limit of 150 mR, Turn back limit of 1R and Total exposure limit of 3R. The Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination personnel also knew where and to whom to return their dosimetry at the conclusion of the emergency or mission.

CONDITION: During the radiological briefing with the State Patrol Helicopter Pilots, conducted by the RDO Officers assistant, it was stated that KI would be ingested even if the person ingesting it was allergic to Iodine.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The RDO Staff briefer was unaware of the Plan and procedure provisions including a warning on the KI ingestion record card and/or the reference in the Sherburne County Emergency Response Plan (Annex H, II. C.) that specifically states that if a person is allergic to Iodine they will not be given KI and will not be assigned in an area of potential exposure.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 J.1O.e EFFECT: Emergency workers that were allergic to KI could have had an allergic reaction because they were given incorrect KI instructions.

23

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On Thursday, November 8, 2007, re-demonstration EW briefing was conducted at the Sherburne County EOC. The briefer provided a dosimetry kit with the appropriate dosimetry and KI. He correctly explained the usage of KI, as provided per the Plan, procedure and manufacturers instructions. He stated that ingestion of KI was voluntary and that if an individual were allergic to Iodine, or shellfish, the individual would need to notify their supervisor immediately of the allergy and that the Plan provides for reassignment to a position outside the IO-mile Emergency Planning Zone. The briefer reminded the emergency worker that he was not to take KI unless the order was given via the EOC.

ISSUE NO.: 39-07-6al-A-02 ISSUE: Reception centerlemergency worker facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees andlor emergency workers.

(NUREG-0654, J.lO.h., K.5.b)

CONDITION: The first emergency worker was found to have contamination above the limit of 300 cpm greater than background. Both of the emergency worker's hands were contaminated. At this point, the contaminated emergency worker was handed the Emergency Worker Survey &

Decontamination (EWS&D) Form and instructed to proceed directly to Station

1. 5 for decontamination. The worker arrived at Station #5 and handed the EWS&D form to the Monitor at Station #5.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Wright County Standard Operation Procedure 26

states that the Monitor should hand carry the EWS&D form to the decontamination station Monitor. The Monitor at the initial monitoring station did not follow the procedure guidance for handling the EWS&D form.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, J.1O.h; J.12; K.5.9 EFFECT: Because the EWS&D form was handled by the contaminated Emergency Worker, and the Emergency Worker then passed the form to another previously non-contaminated worker, contamination could spread from the initial monitoring station to the decontamination station Monitors and their survey equipment.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The Exercise Controller discussed the correct procedure for handling the EWS&D form to prevent cross contamination. This discussion was conducted with the Monitors at both the initial monitoring point and the decontamination station, Station #5.

Following these discussions, the participants were permitted to conduct a redemonstration. In the redemonstration, the initial Monitor maintained distance while accompanying the contaminated emergency worker to the decontamination station, and hand carrying the EWS&D Form directly to the decontamination station Monitor. The redemonstration was done in accordance with the procedure and additional interview questions were answered satisfactorily.

EVALUATION AREA 5 - EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION SUB-ELEMENT AREA 5.a - Activation of the Prompt Alert and Notification System Criterion 5.a.l: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in a timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance.

State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e.,

evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC. The initial EAS message is determined by the Planning Chief in coordination and concurrence with Wright County and Sherburne County following the approval of a Protective Action Decision (PAD) by the State Incident Manager (SIM) or the Governor or Governors Authorized Representative (GAR). The first PAD is pre-approved and does not require the Governors approval, only the SIMs approval. All subsequent PADS require the Governors or GARS approval.

The SEOC Communications Operator (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encodeddecoder, which is automatically monitored by encodersldecoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather alert radios and weather utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota. EAS messages will contain basic information regarding the event. Additional information will be disseminated through the JIC using special news bulletins and media releases.
