1. Executive Summary On June 24, 2009, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 50-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)around the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA), Region V. 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's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The June 24, 2009, Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise compieted the commitment by the State of Wisconsin to reschedule the Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise that was originally to take place on December 9 and 10, 2008. This exercise was terminated early by the State of Wisconsin due to a real-world weather emergency.

The early termination precluded the completion of virtually all activities for both the plume and ingestion phases of the exercise that were scheduled for December 9 and 10, 2008.A determination was made by DHS/FEMA that credit would be given only for the Plume Phase out-of-sequence activities completed on December 8, 2008, and for prior issues corrected during exercise play up until the time the State terminated play in the exercise.

The exercise activities for which credit was given were held in accordance-with -DHS/EEMA's-policiesand-guidance-concerning-.the-exercise of-State-and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The previous Ingestion Pathway exercise was conducted on Augest 6-7, 1996. The qualifying

In the State of Wisconsin the risk counties of Kewaunee and Manitowoc participated along with the State Government.

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 the participants was 1 evident during this exercise.This Final Report contains the evaluation of the Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise.There were no out of sequence activities for the State of Wisconsin or Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties.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 identified during this exercise for the State of Wisconsin or the Counties of Kewaunee and Manitowoc.

There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Wisconsin and Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties during this exercise.

The were no previous ARCAs for the State of Wisconsin and Kewaunee and. Manitowoc Counties that required correction during this exercise.There were no ARCAs identified for the State of Wisconsin and Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties that were successfully redemonstrated during the exercise.2

2. Introduction On December 7, 19.79, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning.and response.

DHS/FEMA 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 DHS/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.

DHS/FEMA's 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-observa.tion.a nd evaluation-of-.exercises-of.-the-plans.-a nd-proced ures-cond ucted -by State and local governments;

-Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the M bbgetweh th NRC and FEMA dated June 17;1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, dated September 14, 1993); and-Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning 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; 3

-U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;-U.S. Food and Drug Administration and-U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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 PBNP to FEMA Region V by the State of Wisconsin and involved local jurisdictions occurred on April 4, 1984. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on June 14, 1985, under 44 CFR 350.A REP Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise scheduled for June 24, 2009, was conducted by DHS/FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the PBNP. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise 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 evaluator team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA RAC Chairman, and approved by the Regional Administrator.

Included is the reason the ARCA remains 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 that 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 10 appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency 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 "...anobserved or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety." DHS/FEMA has developeda standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This. system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among DHS/FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Regional Office. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.The identifying number of 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 -An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers-in-the--six-Exercise-Evaluation Areas described in-Federal--Register Notice/Vol.

&RAD Assessment for RRR & Ingestion Decision-Making Criterion 2.d.1: The Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant (PBNPP) ingestion pathway exercise began at 0730 hours0.00845 days <br />0.203 hours <br />0.00121 weeks <br />2.77765e-4 months <br /> with a briefing of ingestion pathway.support staff by the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC). The briefing emphasized the need to. request field data (including more than needed) and to perform timely actions on all data received.

The individual serving as Federal Liaison noted that a FRMAC had been requested, including a minimum of 25 sampling teams (and up to 50 if possible), a mobile laboratory, and mapping capability.

A meeting of the SRC staff, Wisconsin support agencies and Federal advisors was convened at 0945 hours0.0109 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.595725e-4 months <br />. The stated purpose of this meeting was to develop an ingestion sampling plan, develop material for press releases, and determine whether a food embargo forBirown County was appropriate.

The first topic discussed was a livestock advisory (sheltering of animals and placing*them on stored feed). Based on the plume footprint which had been developed via dose models, a decision was made to issue the livestock advisory to Manitowoc, Kewaunee, BrQownan~d Shawano.-Counties.

The nexttpnic.-was a- food .embargo (e.g., dairy products, meat, fruits, vegetables, and feed grain). Again, based on a consideration of the plume footprint, a decision was reached to place an embargo on food products associated with the same four Counties.

The livestock advisory and food embargo formed the basis for protective actions in the areas impacted by the 1-131 deposition.

The decision to issue an embargo for food products in four Counties was made by the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) in concert with the SRC. This decision was premised on computer-generated maps which showed the location of calculated 1-131 deposition contours.

It appeared that if any portion of a County was impacted by a deposition contour, then the entire County was included in 12 the embargo. The next topic discussed, press release material, was not explored to any depth at this point -it was merely serving as a statement of need. The last topic discussed during the first meeting was the food sampling plan for Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Brown, and Shawano Counties.

The food sampling plan development included all of the candidate media to be sampled, the relative priority of each food type, and sources of data regarding locations and types of crops to be sampled. Sample analysis support was to be provided initially by the State of Wisconsin and supplemented by FRMAC after it was established.

The latter discussion consumed considerable time, ending at approximately 1130 hours0.0131 days <br />0.314 hours <br />0.00187 weeks <br />4.29965e-4 months <br />.During the above-mentioned meeting, it was noted that all measured radionuclide concentration in food and water would be compared with pre-determined Derived Intervention Levels (DILs) contained in FDA 1998 guidance, "Accidental Contamination of Human Food and Animal Feeds: Recommendations for State and Local Agencies." The DILs were based on Protective Action Guides of a committed effective dose equivalent of 0.5 rem and a committed dose equivalent of 5 rem to any individual organ.This information could then be used to develop PARs which would define smaller areas within the Counties where food embargoes needed to be applied.After receiving results of radiological analyses of agricultural products later in the afternoon, the SRC and staff.were in a position to re-review the food embargo imposed as a result of the first meeting. After the re-review was completed, only the embargo for Shawano County was removed. Embargoes for the other three Counties were not-modified,-;

e-they r-ema nedV ný'f-fe'Ct'f r-th e-entirVe-a-aofe*eachCounty. -The decision to not modify the food embargoes for the three Counties from full to partial County areas of concern was conservative.

This was due to the inclusion of food products with measured concentrations of 1-131 and other radionuclides (such as Cs-137) that were well within the DILs.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 2.e.1: The Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant (PBNP) Ingestion Pathway Exercise began at 0730 hours0.00845 days <br />0.203 hours <br />0.00121 weeks <br />2.77765e-4 months <br /> with a briefing of ingestion pathway support staff.by the State, Radiological Coordinator (SRC).A meeting of the SRC staff, Wisconsin support agencies and Federal advisors was 13 convened at 1140 hours0.0132 days <br />0.317 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.3377e-4 months <br /> to discuss relocation, re-entry, and return issues. Although there were breaks at key points, this meeting lasted until approximately 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br />.The relocation discussion included the above-mentioned agencies and advisors, plus Manitowoc, Kewaunee, and Brown Counties.

It was initially noted that a relocation PAG had been estimated based on soil sample analyses and supplemented by exposure rate measurements. .A value of 3.4 mR/hr was estimated as the value of interest.

This exposure rate, when corrected for radioactive decay associated with the specific radionuclides found in the soil sample analysis, was equivalent to a default value of 0.23 mR/hr. Both would result in a dose equivalent of 2 rem at the end of the first year of exposure.From this analysis, it was concluded that the area that had been evacuated was adequate unless additional aerial monitoring or ground-truthing activities identified an unknown hot spot. Later, an aerial survey identified a hot spot on the Kewaunee-Manitowoc County border, near the intersection of County Highways BB and Q. The area was circumscribed by nearby highways to the West, South, North, and East. The radiation levels in this exceeded the 3.4 mR/hr value used as a relocation criterion, thus warranting protective action for this population.

Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties were aware of this relocation recommendation based on' their participation in the conference call.The re-entry discussion focused on the manner in which requests for re-entry would be hand led.-AlI Ii nd ivid oals~h'avi n-g a a op ii, th e-i rd airy.cows, retrieve a valuable commodity from their home) were to be processed through each County's Reception Center prior to entering the restricted area. Each individual would be issued a direct-reading dosimeter, provided with radiation protection training, and be accompanied by an individual carrying a radiation monitoring instrument.

An 8-hour access time during any 24-hour period was established, along with an exposure limit of 100 mR for the eight hours, and a turnback value of 200 mR/hr. All individuals re-entering would also be required to take KI. Following an entry, to service dairy animals, for example, the individual would exit the area via a Reception Center..The return discussion focused on reducing the scope of the restricted area based on field team surveys which had been completed at the time. An exposure rate criterion of 20 pR/hr (twice background) was used to determine which areas could be re-occupied by residents that had been evacuated.

Boundaries to the area were defined in terms of roads which ran in each of the four major directions.

An additional consideration was 14 the removal of restrictions from an area that needed to be traversed by Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant workers on their way to and from the plant. It was determined that sufficient exposure rate measurements and sample results existed to permit this plant access route to be defined and removed from the restricted area.All activities described in the.demonstration criteria were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures, and extent of play agreement.

In summary, the status of DHS/FEMA criteria for this location is as follows: a. MET: 2.d.1,2.e.1.

They were issued thermoluminescent dosimeters (Landauer LUXEL, calibration date 03/01/2009) and a DRD (Arrow Tech Inc, Model W138, 0 to 200mR, calibration date 06/11/2009).

Personnel were instructed on.the proper placement of the dosimeters and to read and record the DRD reading every 30 minutes. Since the teams were being deployed to locations that were not in the.Restricted Area they were not expected to get any significant readings on their dosimeters.

They were to call in if they got any reading above zero or if the dosimeter malfunctioned.

Dosimeters were to be returned to the Dosimetry Coordinator at the end of the day.The Evaluator interviewed the FTC about the more appropriate use of occupational (annual) dose limits (versus emergency dose limits) during the post emergency ingestion phase. The State of Wisconsin is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission agreement state and has adopted the NRC occupational dose limits. It was indicated that although the April 2006 version of the procedures did not address this, the proposed 2009 version included this feature..During the exercise two individuals in the FOC/MRL experienced malfunctions of their DRD. This occurred at different times. One of these individuals was the Dosimetry Coordinator.

The DRD readings went to about 120 mR in the span of 30 minutes. Both individuals recalled bumping the DRD against furniture.

The Dosimetry Coordinator issued a new .dosimeter and a new recording sheet.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 3.e.1: The State of Wisconsin Forward Operating Center/ Mobile Radiological Laboratory (FOC/MRL) was located at the National Guard Armory at 2225 Sandy Bay Road, Two Rivers. The deployment of Ingestion Sampling Teams and their demonstration was done out of sequence with and separate from the rest of the Ingestion Pathway Exercise.In accordance with the extent of play agreement the sampling locations were pre-designated for convenience and were not based on any scenario driven sampling strategy.

The pre-designated locations were for sampling milk, water, vegetation, soil and fish. Ingestion Sampling Team members were from the Department of Health and 17 Family Services, Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and, Department of Natural Resources.

They indicated that they were field personnel who had a working knowledge of the locations of the different dairy, fruit farms, vegetable farms and food produce.The Field Team Coordinator was interviewed as to the FOC/MRL capability in a real event to access the data base of fruit, vegetable and dairy farms that would be used to develop a sampling strategy.

It was indicated that this action was the responsibility of the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) in the State EOC who had access to the electronic database.

the FOC/MRL would be provided with a list of sampling locations by the SRC.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 4.b.1: The State of Wisconsin Forward Operating Center/ Mobile Radiological Laboratory (FOC/MRL) was located at the National Guard Armory at 2225 Sandy Bay Road, Two Rivers. The FOC/MRL demonstration was done out of sequence with and separate from the rest of the Ingestion Pathway Exercise demonstration at the State EOC.In accordance with the extent of play agreement the sampling locations were pre-designated for convenience and were not based on any scenario driven sampling strategy_-The-pre--des-i'gn-at'ed-lo-atin-s-for ilk7,--w-atTr, -ve-g-et4 tion, soil and fish were assigned to the Ingestion Sampling Teams by the Field Team Coordinator.

He indicated that for the purposes of the exercise all these locations were outside the Restricted Area and hence they should not encounter significant radiation exposure rates. Ingestion Sampling Team members were from the Department of Health and Family Services, Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and, Department of Natural Resources.

The Team members were field personnel and had a working knowledge of the locations of the different farms.A Sample ReceivingArea was set up in the assembly area of the National Guard Armory. It consisted of two tables set up as an L just inside the back entrance.

One table was for the drop off of the samples and the other table was for the turn in of the Chain of Custody Form. Another table was placed a little way behind and parallel to the sample drop off table. All table surfaces and the floor from the entrance doorway to the tables were covered with paper. A rope barrier segregated this area from the rest of the 18 Armory. Survey instruments were positioned for use on each of the tables.The sample receipt technician used a Ludlum Model 12 low rangeCount Rate Meter with a Model 44 pancake probe (calibration date 04/29/09) and, a Victoreen Model 451 B-RYR mid range survey meter (calibration date 04/01/2009).

The Chain of Custody Form Receipt technician used a Ludlum Model 12 low range Count Rate Meter with a Model .44 pancake probe (calibration date 04/29/09).

The Sample Receipt technician wore a plastic apron and gloves.The Field Team Coordinator instructed the Ingestion Sampling Teams to bring their samples to the FQC/MRL Sample Receiving.Area.

The Ingestion Sampling Team handed in the Chain of Custody form for the sample and it was signed by the technician and the data on the form was entered into the computer log. Each sample had its own Chain of Custody form. The Ingestion Sampling Team then handed in their sample to the technician at the sample receipt table.The exterior of the bag containing the sample was surveyed using the Ludlum Model 12 instrument.

The technician indicated she was using a reading of 100 cpm plus background as the threshold value. This was the State of Wisconsin criterion for designating contamination.

The sample bag was placed on another table behind the sample drop off table. On this table the sample was removed from its bag and placed in a new clean large plastic bag. The sample label was placed in a smaller sandwich bag and this bag was inserted into the sample bag.. If the count rate was above the s -us-Q-51-h~-o~vevr-the n~ew-clean sample bag would be tagged to alert the Laboratory.

The 100 cpm above background was used as an alert level for the Laboratory.

The Evaluator noted that the MRL procedures specified a contact exposure rate of 0.1 mR/hr to flag samples so that they would not be stored in the MRL. This was reasonably consistent with the criterion being used in the Sample Receiving Area. All discarded sample bags and other materials were put in a large trash bag.Milk and fish samples were placed in a cooler in the designated sample storage area in the Armory. All other sample bags (sand, vegetation, water) were placed in the designated sample storage area. Samples in the storage area were considered as being ready for transfer to the Mobile Radiological Laboratory parked outside the Armory.19 All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 4.c.1: The State of Wisconsin Forward Operating Center/ Mobile Radiological Laboratory (FOC/MRL) was located at the National Guard Armory at 2225 Sandy Bay Road, Two Rivers. The FOC/MRL demonstration was done out of sequence with and separate from the rest of the Ingestion Pathway Exercise demonstration at the State EOC. The large Recreation Van style vehicle was parked near the room in the Armory designated as the Sample Receiving Area.The FOC/MRL vehicle was acquired within the last year and was still a work in progress.

During the exercise there was no gamma spectrometer in the MRL. The gamma spectrometer had been installed and was operational but within the last month the Canberra Cryo-Pulse 5 Electrically Refrigerated Cryostat used to cool the germanium detector malfunctioned and had to be shipped back to the manufacturer.

The Laboratory Services Coordinator indicated that if it was a real emergency an older gamma spectrometry system in service at the State Health Laboratory in Madison would be installed in the MRL.The Mobile Radiological Laboratory (MRL) occupied one half of the space in the vehicle, the other half was dedicated to the Forward Operating Center. A sliding door separated the two areas. All surfaces in the MRL including the ceiling were designed to-b-eaeaeilyvefsedt R-0 fLwae-ds--gan ebVyha-a-cseparte-t L' ae wsdoo.r on the rear of the Vehicle. There was also a window through which samples could be delivered to a small table that served as the sample receiving area.The MRL was monitored by an area radiation monitor (Ludlum Model 375 Digital Area Monitor, calibration date 01/14/2009).

The detector had a low alarm set point of 2.0 mR/hr and a high alarm set point of 5 mR/hr. These set points can be adjusted.

The lowest reading on the monitor would be 0.1 mR/hr. The sample receiving window was monitored by a Ludlum Model 177 Count Rate Meter, calibration date 01/12/2009 (showed a background reading of about 80 cpm). Also available for radiation survey was a Thermo Micro Rem Dose Rate Meter, Model Micro REM AO, calibration date 09/17/2008 (showed a background reading of 3 micro rem/hr).Through an interview process the Laboratory Services Coordinator described how he would receive samples and prepare them for counting.

All surfaces of the tables in the 20 MRL were covered with paper. A laboratory coat and gloves would be worn at all times.Sample size was prescribed in the Unrestricted Area Sampling Team procedures.

The MRL would process all samples irrespective of radiation level. Containers for discarded sample bags, gloves and other trash were available.

The MRL in order to minimize background levels would not store any sample with a contact exposurerate reading of greater than 0.1 mR/hr. These samples would be stored inside the National Guard Armory. This description was reasonably consistent with the criteria used in the Sample Receiving Area and Sample Storage Area inside the National Guard Armory.The samples would be extracted from their bags and placed on the table. The sandwich bag containing the sample label and the chain of custodyform would be placed aside. The data on the sample label (type, location, date and time of collection) would be entered into the Gamma Spectrometer computer software.

Samples would be assigned a sequential MRL number. The sample label data would be printed out on the sample analysis sheet.The capability to add preservative to some samples such as milk is available in the MRL. Sample preparation for placing samples in the Marinelli beakers for gamma spectrometry was minimal. A scale was available to weigh samples such as fish, vegetation etc.

sam lplb--Tic-h&-

gamma spe-cf-tTm-ete-frwas 1-0 -rmii-nutes.

Different geometries were used depending on the sample type. The largest geometry was a 3.5 liter Marinelli Beaker (typically used for water, milk, vegetation) and the smallest was a 0.5 liter Marinelli beaker (typically used for filter papers, iodine cartridges).

Calibrations for each of these counting geometries had been set up using mixed gamma counting standards from Eckert and Ziegler (a copy was provided to the Evaluator).

These counting standards were traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The counting standards included gamma radiation energies from 0.088 Mev to 1.836 Mev. This range of energies would cover all of the gamma radiation emitting isotopes that would typically be found in a nuclear plant accident.The software purchased for the gamma spectrometer was Canberra Genie-2000 version v3.1. The Laboratory Services Coordinator demonstrated use of this software to analyze the counts from a sample collected in 2008. A copy of the results was 21 provided to the Evaluator.

The gamma spectrometer results could be expressed in any combination of units. The Laboratory Services Coordinator indicated he would ask the State Radiological Coordinator and the dose assessment staff what units they would prefer for results for the different sample types. This would facilitate the input of the sample analysis results into the dose models / spreadsheets.

The sample analysis result sheet would be faxed to the State Radiological Coordinator in the State EOC (using Hewlett Packard Office Jet Pro model L 7590, scan/fax/copy/print).

The library of isotopes included with the Canberra Genie-2000 software was extensive and included isotopes typically encou.ntered in nuclear power plant accidents.

Gamma radiation emitting transuranic isotopes were included in this library providing the MRL with the capability to detect them.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and extent of play agreement.

The evaluator verified that all required equipment and supplies for each sample type identified inthe plan were in the sampling kit.This plan identifies 13 different sample types. During the exercise, the UAFT #4 was directed to take six different sample types. These were a ground water sample, a surface water sample, a milk sample, a soil sample, a vegetation sample and a fish sample.28 The minimum sample size for each of the six sample types are specified in the Radiological Incident Response Plan, dated April 14,.2006.

These were to fill one gallon containers for milk, ground water, and surface water. The soil sample was five soil plugs (including vegetation) approximately

2.5 inches

wide by 2 inches deep. The vegetation sample was to fill a 12 inch by 15 inch zip-lock bag with vegetation.

The fish sample was 4 pounds of whole fish or a minimum of 3 pounds of fish flesh of one type. The evaluator verified that the appropriate sample sizes were collected for each sample type. The exception was the fish sample. The team collected 0.48 pounds of fresh fish to reduce the associated cost. The evaluator noted that 3 pounds of fish as specified in the plan was available.

The team delivered all bagged and labeled samples to the FOC/MRL Sample Receipt Station. At this time the form "Field Sample Collection" was completed.

This form included necessary information for sample counting at the FOC/MRL (e.g. sample time, sample identification number, sample type, and sample location).

A section of this form contained a Chain of Custody Log. The Chain of Custody Log included the "relinquished by" name, "received by" name, initials, date and time.Sample collection and delivery was completed at 1135 hours0.0131 days <br />0.315 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.318675e-4 months <br /> and the exercise was terminated for UAFT #4 at this time.All activities described in the demonstration criteria were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

-Implement RRR & Ingestion Decisions Criterion.3.e.1:

29 There were a multitude of both federal and state agencies that were able to provide information on the location of water supplies, dairy farms, various crop farms, and the location of food processing plants.The agencies that could speak to water supply issues were the US Environmental Protection"Agency (EPA) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources-Drinking Water Division.

The water supply was not considered a major issue in the priority of ingestion decisions because most of the water supplies are from wells.Dairy farms were the top priority in making an evaluation of radiological conditions that may have affected the industry.

Both the US Department of Agriculture and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture were able to provide valuable information on the size and location of the major dairy farms. The Manitowoc, Kewaunee, and Brown County Extension Services also provided detailed information on the dairy farms in their respective counties.At 0945 hours0.0109 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.595725e-4 months <br />, the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) made a decision to broadcast a livestock advisory for Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Brown, and Shawano Counties and the Public Information Officer (PIO) immediately began the process. The PIO coordinated for the advisory with the counties, the Joint Information Center (JIC) in Green Bay and the Officer-in Charge (OIF) operations staff to complete the process. The advisory states all animals should be put on stored feed and water.The W ..ih- D--tiT u ct Hold Order at 1242 hours0.0144 days <br />0.345 hours <br />0.00205 weeks <br />4.72581e-4 months <br /> indicating the following products can not move within or out of Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties:

all foodstuffs, livestock, dairy products, vegetables, animal feed and grains. The hold order is in effect until further notice.All activities described in the demonstration criteria were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures, and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 3.e.2: (The first briefing at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) began at 0832 hours0.00963 days <br />0.231 hours <br />0.00138 weeks <br />3.16576e-4 months <br />. The Officer-in-Charge (OIF) made a brief statement and asked the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) for an update on the current situation everyone in the room could stay informed.The first order of business was to determine what federal assistance was needed and 30 who would complete the logistics on what airport to use, hotel space, etc. The OIC asked his operations to work on the logistics for the federal response personnel.

The SRC listed the top priorities for federal assistance:

1. Provide a flyover so any radiological contamination on the ground could be clearly defined. 2. Provide a minimum of 25 field-sampling teams. 3. Lab analysis capability for map making.At 0945 hours0.0109 days <br />0.263 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.595725e-4 months <br />, the SRC conducted a meeting of all key personnel in order to set priorities.

The meeting involved all key state and federal personneland all the surrounding counties.There was a lot of discussion and the priorities were finally agreed on. Dairy farms were the top priority, followed by feed warehouses as there is one in Manitowoc and Kewaunee County. This was a top priority in the event local feed was contaminated so dairy farmers could still care for their herd. Other priorities included forage and soil, poultry, fresh food and vegetables, alfalfa (which is ready for a second cut), and pig farms.At 1140 hours0.0132 days <br />0.317 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.3377e-4 months <br />, the SRC conducted a meeting to provide results of field team monitoring so the issue of relocation could be discussed.

By taking soil samples and also instrument measurements and inputting this data in RASCAL it was determined the highest readings within 2-3 miles of the PBNP were 3.4 mR/hr and 11.7 mR. Because evacuation was in a 5 miles radius around the plant, there were no re-location to be done.At 1250 hours0.0145 days <br />0.347 hours <br />0.00207 weeks <br />4.75625e-4 months <br />, the SRC conducted another meeting. It is now day 2 at 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> and FRMAC data from the flyover is available.

With a clearly defined map indicating hot siots. it was now to talk about re-entry..Re-entry will be coordinated at the county level.At 1435 hours0.0166 days <br />0.399 hours <br />0.00237 weeks <br />5.460175e-4 months <br />, the issue of return was discussed.

There was additional maps available showing both the 1-131 footprint and the C-137 concentrations on the ground.The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture was responsible for any embargo notices.for food or dairy and has this authority through state statute. Condemned foods are taken for disposal under authority of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

It is the responsibility of the farmer to dispose of condemned food or dairy products at the owner's expense.31 All activities described in the demonstration criteria were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures, and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 3.f.1: The capability for the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) to make recommendations in terms of relocation, re-entry and return are based on having very clear and detailed data on where any radiological contamination exists. If the radiological contamination can be clearly defined, it is likely people would be able to return to their homes in the short- term.In working on short-term re-entry, the limits were clearly defined by the SRC and were made available to the counties as individuals asked for re-entry permission.

Individuals.

were allowed a 100 mR exposure limit over an 8-hour period using a direct-reading dosimeter.

For long- term relocation, the EPA Protective Action.Guidelines (PAG's) allows for 2 REM a year dose equivalent.

Decisions for relocation begin with the SRC and if agreed on with the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) are then discussed with the affected counties and an agreement is reached. The counties have the final say.Instructions are communicated to the public through EAS messages at the County EgiM 7 Oprt en--d y 0(p 6Cr F iEter re-entnry, the6 unfies assist the public back to their homes.Both Manitowoc and Kewaunee maintain a list of individuals who are transportation dependent and the highway department assists these individuals.

Should an individual need to relocate short-term as a result of contamination, the plan calls for the county reception center to be opened to assist. The Red Cross could provide long-term housing assistance.

The Red Cross is represented at the SEOC.All activities described in the demonstration criteria were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

provided by the State Radiological Center (SRC) at the State EOC.The issuance of a Site Area Emergency on June 23, 2009, precipitated a decision by both risk counties in conjunction with the State to implement an agricultural advisory requesting that farmers shelter and place livestock on stored feed and water for the entire 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in Kewaunee County. Specific instructions were included that addressed sheltering and placing the livestock on stored feed and protected water.As flyover data became available (simulated) and at the request of the State EOC and 33 the Kewaunee County EMD, the EOC personnel began at 0910 hours0.0105 days <br />0.253 hours <br />0.0015 weeks <br />3.46255e-4 months <br /> identifying food processing and agricultural producers located within the Ingestion Zone for Kewaunee County. The EOC personnel responsible for processing this information included:

the University of Wisconsin Extension Service, the Radiological Officer (RO), the EMD, and the Public Information Officers (PIO's)Previously at 0230 hours0.00266 days <br />0.0639 hours <br />3.80291e-4 weeks <br />8.7515e-5 months <br />, the Wisconsin Department of Agricultural recommended an agricultural hold be placed on alt products from both risk counties (Kewaunee and Manitowoc).

At 0957 hours0.0111 days <br />0.266 hours <br />0.00158 weeks <br />3.641385e-4 months <br />, the Wisconsin Department of Agricultural made a recommendation to extend the agricultural hold to Brown County for farms and food processors.

The SRC in conjunction with the risk counties was responsible for evaluating plume deposition and formulating a sampling plan to determine if food products were contaminated above the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Derived Intervention Limits (DIL) for specific radionuclides.

The SRC was responsible for making precautionary action for ingestion of food and water products based on available data.These discussions and list produced indicated that Kewaunee County had one (1) dairy farm (300 cows) and one (1) retail meat producer within the 5-mile Ingestion EPZ, while it indicated, that one (1) feed mill, one (1) winery, one (1) meat processing plant, one (1)food packaging plant, 75 small dairy farm (< 300 cows), 1 medium sized dairy farm-(30'0-000"6w6), -an-'T hd d ( --0"0 co-w)-whl-erwith in--thfe-0-r-ii-mle Ingestion EPZ. Based on an early PAD the area located within the 5-mile Ingestion Zone had been previously evacuated.

The following were determined to be sampling priorities:

milk, food-processing facilities, harvestable crops meant for human consumption, both from local farms and homegrown foodstuffs.

The SRC worked with local, State, and Federal representatives to develop their sampling plans. They used available resources to identify farms, wineries, meat and food processing facilities within the 50-mile Ingestion Zone.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and the extent of play agreement., 34 Criterion 2.e.1: Timely relocation, re-entry, and return decisions were made and coordinated as appropriate, based on assessments of the radiological conditions and criteria in the Kewaunee County plans and procedures.

The ingestion phase of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) exercise commenced at 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> on June 24, 2009, at the Kewaunee County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Copies of the initiating conditions were distributed to each exercise participant.

During a participants briefing, the Kewaunee County Emergency Management Director (EMD) reviewed the initiating conditions.

The Chief Elected Official in conjunction with Kewaunee County RO made radiological decisions following discussions and technical information provided by the State Radiological Center (SRC) at the State EOC.The SRC was responsible for evaluating plume deposition and formulating a monitoring and sampling plan to determine which areas were contaminated above the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Derived Response Levels.(DRL) and the EPA PAGs for radiation exposure.

During the exercise, the SRC in conjunction with the risk counties evaluated available data and made protective action recommendations for relocation based on projected doses. The DRL determined by the SRC was 3.4 mR/hr.Kewa u n C[d1ty6f-e-

,-part of the relocation process. The Emergency Management Director (EMD), the Radiological Officer (RO), the Kewaunee County Sheriff's Department (KCSD), and the Kewaunee County Highway Department (KCHD) initially developed the relocation boundaries and forwarded that information to the State EOC. They used county maps to refine the boundaries based on access and ease of egress. Kewaunee County began establishing traffic and access control points (TACPs) at 1400 hours0.0162 days <br />0.389 hours <br />0.00231 weeks <br />5.327e-4 months <br /> in response to an ordered relocation.

The boundary included those areas bounded by Boldt Road to the North, Harpt Road to the west, Zander Road to the south and County trunk AB to the east in Kewaunee County. Data obtained from initial flyovers was used by Kewaunee County to initial relocation boundaries.

According to the Kewaunee County Human Services Department (KCHS) there were approximately 150 individuals within that boundary requiring relocation.

Kewaunee County personnel developed the following decisions, as part of the re-entry 35 process. The EMD, the RO, the KCSD, Fire and Rescue Services, and the KCHD specifically developed a plan to address issues involving ingress and egress by the general public into the restricted zone. These agencies discussed and developed a listing of all resources available countywide to support this operation, as well as, those resources available through mutual aid agreements.

Discussion between the participants also included procedures to determine who should be allowed to re-enter the restricted zone.Kewaunee County developed specific criterion for individuals requiring re-entry into the restricted area. Those criterions included a maximum of an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> stay in any 24-hour period, the issuance of dosimetry and instruction on its use must have an escort with a survey meter, and upon exiting the area must precede to the designated Reception Center in Algoma for monitoring and decontamination.

The RO indicated that if the survey rate meter read 200 mR/hr or the direct- reading dosimeter read 100 mR this would require immediate notification and turnback by those individuals.

For those individuals requesting re-entry would do so at the Kewaunee County Reception Center. The Reception Center would then fax that request to the RO. The RO in conjunction with the SRC would review and approve or deny the request. If the request were approved the RO would notify the Reception Center of that decision.

At that time the reception Center would issue a pass, dosimetry, and assign an escort.Kewaunee County personnel developed the following decisions, as part of the return proce~ss7Fedsmln background-information were use d in di-scussiorn specifically related to return to restricted areas. Some topics discussed included: redefining restricted zone boundaries, potential for the establishment of permanent TACPs and return of the evacuated population.

The SRC in conjunction with the risk counties made the decision to allow for the return of previously evacuated populations in the area defined as R-6B to Q-4B on the west and Lake Michigan on the east.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plans, procedures and the extent of play agreement.

Kewaunee County -Implementation of RRR& Ingestion Decisions Criterion 3.e.1: The Kewaunee County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully demonstrated the ability and necessary information for the implementation of ingestion pathway decisions regarding water, food supplies, milk and agricultural production.

At 0851 hours0.00985 days <br />0.236 hours <br />0.00141 weeks <br />3.238055e-4 months <br />, the Kewaunee County EOC received notification from the SRC that at 0230 hours0.00266 days <br />0.0639 hours <br />3.80291e-4 weeks <br />8.7515e-5 months <br /> an agricultural hold had been placed on the entire County due to an accident at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP.) The agricultural hold included dairy products, feed, grain, processed foods, retail facilities, and meat processors.

Evacuation had been completed in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) out to 5-miles 360 degrees around the plant.The issuance of a Site Area EMergency.n

.2.3.2009, precipitated .a decision by both risk counties in conjunction with the State to implement an agricultural advisory requesting that farmers shelter and place livestock on stored feed and water for the -entire 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in Kewaunee County. Specific dedthataadd ressed-sheltering.a nd"-placingthe-liv.estock~on-estored feed and protected water.The Wisconsin Extension Office identified one dairy farmer with 100 cows located in the 5-mile EPZ and one retailer that served unpackaged and packaged food. This farmer had a pit on site and could store milk at the facility.

Kewaunee County accepted the offer of a transport truck from Manitowoc County to transport milk from the bulk tank to the manure pit on the farm. Every other day transport was deemed to be sufficient.

The.Extension Officer identified Trega Foods, Tisch Mills Feed, Konops Meat, Parrallel 44 Winery, three large dairies (1000- 1500 cows), one medium dairy (300 to 1000 cows), 75 small dairies (less than 300 cows), and one deer farm in the 10-mile EPZ.37 There was one additional medium sized dairy farm outside the 10-mile EPZ in the same direction that the plume traveled.

Names, .addresses, and the number of livestock were available for each farm.There were no cash crop farmers located in the 5-mile EPZ. All crops in this area were associated with dairy or beef operations.

A total of 2140 acres of crops were in production in the 10-mile EPZ including 100 acres of wine grapes. 40 acres floral vegetation, 900 acres alfalfa, 700 acres corn, 300 acres winter wheat, and 200 acres soybeans.There were no surface water intakes in the 10-mile EPZ. Therefore, water contamination was not considered.

At 1224, in a discussion with State Agriculture, Kewaunee Agriculture, and Manitowoc Agriculture, the decision was made to harvest and store (separately) feed stuffs and test for contamination.

Feed stuffs would not be used until they reach an acceptable level of contamination.

The next crop to be harvested was the second crop of hay in approximately one to two weeks.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

The agricultural hold included dairy products, feed, grain, processed foods, retail facilities, and meat processors.

Farmers were advised to shelter livestock and place livestock on stored feed and water. Evacuation had been completed in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) out to 5- miles 360 degrees around the plant.An interview was conducted with EOC staff because the agricultural hold and livestock protective action decisions were taken before the start of the exercise.

Federal 38 resources are identified and contacted through the State of Wisconsin.

The Kewaunee Department of Public Health works with Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM), Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) and Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) on decisions to embargo or dispose of contaminated food or animals, shutting down surface water intakes for public ,water systems and issues regarding hunting and fishing. There were no surface water intakes in the 10-mile EPZ. Therefore, water contamination was not considered.

Records of food processors, producers and distributors within Ingestion Emergency Planning Zone (IEPZ) are maintained by DATCP. The Agricultural Extension Officer would secure records of food processors, producers and distributors within IEPZ from DATCP. The County coordinates local law enforcement and other staff who could assist withý enforcing any embargo or hold of agricultural products that has been ordered by the state.Kewaunee County is .conjunction with mutual aid resources would be responsible for removing and disposing of materials, equipment, soils, farm animals and pets, food products, farm or garden produce and other items .that could not be contaminated or have perished/spoiled while the area is evacuated.

The County will also support.decontamination or otherwise restoring agricultural lands to productive use.(i.e., crop rotation, tilling).

Hunting and fishing areas with limitations (e.g., length of seasons, bag limits, etc.) will be posted and secured. These measures will help protect the general public and decrease the chance of spreading contamination.

D~iI~g th--the Agricultural Extension fie olce n oriae emergency information about the impact of the accident on food, animal feed and water in the county, in coordination with the Public Information.

Approximately 200 pamphlets entitled, "RadologicalEmergency Information for Wisconsin Farmers,-Food Processo rs;And Distributors Near The Nuclear Power Plants In And Surrounding The State Of Wisconsin", are strategically distributed throughout Kewaunee County. Wisconsin Emergency Management, Radiological Emergency Planning Division, will produce more if needed. Brochures are located at Algoma City Hall, Rio Creek Feed Mill, Kewaunee Cooperative' Bank of Luxemburg, Dyckesville, and the UW Extension office in Kewaunee.

In addition, the Agricultural Extension Officer arranged for distribution of this information to county food processors, producers and distributors.

The Kewaunee County PIO issued several press releases regarding the agricultural hold, livestock advisories, fish consumption, washing and peeling vegetables and fruits, and water.39 All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Once an area is identified, the County assists in determining a boundary including a buffer zone based upon geographical features and roads in the County, to provide access control to the Relocation .Zone, notify the residents within the area, provide for a Reception Center for receiving and processing those being relocated, and to provide for re-entry.At approximately 1330 hours0.0154 days <br />0.369 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06065e-4 months <br />, an initial Relocation Zone was identified by a fly over. It consisted of an area along the border of Kewauneeand1 M1anitowoc Counties.

The State discussed a boundary to enclose the area having exposure ratesin excess of the Relocation PAG with both of the Counties involved.

Manitowoc then developed a boundary bounded by Harpt Lake-Road on the east, ander Road on the south, Highway AB on the west and Highway VV on the north (also the road boundary between Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties).

The County determined that there were 10 homes in the designated area, averaging four people per home, with a total population of approximately 40 people. Discussion then began on how to implement the relocation of those residents.

Law enforcement discussed the need for Access Control and identified traffic control points.A second Relocation Zone was identified within the evacuated area (Sub-Area 5). This was identified by the State using field data, environmental sampling, dose projections and fly over data. The State and Manitowoc County. conferred and concurred with a boundary defined and bounded by AB on the west, VV on the north (the County line), 43 Lake Michigan on the east, and Irish and E. Assman Roads on the south.Arrangements were made to allow Return of those residents previously evacuated in all areas except the area identified above. The Public Information Officer was then tasked with developing a News Release to inform the public of the decision to allow Return of evacuees to the previously evacuated except in the Relocation area. Arrangements were then made for the long term and continued care of those previously evacuated for the area identified.

Access control to re-entry into the Relocation zone was established at two locations.

The general public and county or State emergency workers were to report to the Reception Center at the Manitowoc Highway building on Highway 310. The Point Beach employees were to use and assemble at the High School in Two Rivers.Persons wanting to re-entry the Relocation Areas had to report to the designated Reception Center at the Manitowoc County Highway Department.

A questionnaire was developed to determine the reason for the re-entry and location where they desired to go. From this information there was a determination as to allow or disallow the re-entry.If allowed, they would be provided with dosimetry, and an escort having a survey meter and they would receive training prior to being allowed re-entry.

They would be allowed to stay no. longer than eight hours. Exposure limits were set with a turnback limit of 200 mR/hr as read on the survey meter or a reading of 100 mR on any dosimetry.

Re-entry was only allowed during designated daylight hours. Upon leaving the area they were to return to the Reception Center to turn in dosimetry and to get i-atohaini'd deýc~o~ntiamination if needed.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and the extentlof play ag0eement.

Manitowoc County -Implementation of RRR& Ingestion Decisions Criterion 3.e.1: The Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully demonstrated the availability and appropriate use of adequate information regarding water, food supplies, milk and agricultural production within the ingestion exposure pathway planning zone for implementation of protective actions. Ingestion pathway.activities included a continuation of precautionary actions to shelter and place livestock on stored feed and protected water and the evacuation of Sectors M, N, and P out to a distance of five miles from the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP).Through* interview with the EOC Agriculture Coordinator (University of Wisconsin County Extension Agent), it was determined that databases existed that contained the locations of all commercial livestock and poultry producing farms, locations and types of various crops, dairy operations and water intakes. Croplands impacted by the PBNP radioactive release consisted of approximately 3600 acres of alfalfa, 3500 acres of corn, 1.000 acres of soy beans, .900 acres of winter wheat, 300 acres of oats, 100 acres of barley and 100 acres of snap beans. It was also determined that there were 17 dairies, one commercial herd of cattle, one fish farm, one deer farm and two retail food processing facilities in the impacted area. A "food hold" (quarantine) of all agricultural products within the pacted area was imposed by the Wisconsin Department of.. _Agriculture to prevent the spread of contamination.

After due consideration of soil sampling data and the results of the Federal Radiological WMon imtoraind min ate&-area.4the-EOC Agriculture Representative noted that appropriate protective actions regarding dairy and food products included:

storing or destroying milk supplies, continuing the quarantine of livestock and food products, continuing to feed and monitor livestock using stored feed and water, and withholding from market food and dairy products being processed by commercial food processors.

All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 3.e.2: 45 The Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully demonstrated the ability to develop appropriate measures, strategies and pre-printed material for implementing protective action decisions for contaminated water, food products, milk and agricultural production.

Ingestion pathway activities included a continuation of precautionary actions to shelter and place livestock on stored feed and protected water and the evacuation of Sectors M, N, and P out to a distance of five miles from the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP).At 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />, on Day-One of the exercise, members of the EOC staff were briefed by teleconference regarding the situation at PBNP. The release or radioactive material had been terminated and the recovery phase of the emergency had begun. Following the conference call, the EOC staff were given a plume projection map (controller inject), that had been developed during the night by the Wisconsin State Radiological Coordinator (SRC), and began developing plans for protective measures for the food chain, e.g., milk, crops, food processing plants and food storage facilities.

A "food hold" (quarantine) of all agricultural products within the impacted area was imposed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture to prevent the spread of contamination.

Through interview with the EOC Agriculture Coordinator (University of Wisconsin County Extension Agent), it was determined that databases existed that contained the locations of all commercial livestock and poultry producing farms, locations and types of various crops, dairy operations and water intakes. Croplands impacted by the PBNP radioactive release consisted of approximately 3600 acres of alfalfa, 3500 acres of corn,'Sof s ea'ns, 900 acres300 acres of oats, 100 acres of barley and 100 acres of snap beans. It was also determined that there were 17 dairies, one commercial herd of cattle, one fish farm, one deer farm and two retail food processing facilities in the impacted arThe Agriuture Coordi nator(AC) was familiar with the Wisconsin Radiological Emergency Information Booklet for Farmers, Food Processors and Distributors and was knowledgeable on State and County plans and procedures for impounding, embargoing and/or disposing of contaminated food products if necessary.

Following a time jump to Day-Two, the EOC was provided updated plume projection maps. and the field sample data and the results of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) fixed wing flyover of the plume pathway (controller injects).

After due consideration of the data provided and coordination with the SRC, it was determined that a "hot spot" of contamination existed in an area bounded from the west by Haupt Lake Road, north by Bolt Road in Kewaunee County, east by Collegiate 46 Road and south by Zandel Road. Detailed analysis of croplands in this area by the AC determined that there were 950 acres of alfalfa, 975 acres of corn, 280 acres of soy beans 230 acres of wheat, 75 acres of oats and 20 acres of barley. It was also determined that there were five dairies and one commercial herd of cattlein the impacted area.Ensuing discussions between the AC, the Emergency Management Director (EMD), and members of the EOC staff resulted in the determination that appropriate protective actions regarding dairy and food products included:

storing or destroying milk supplies, continuing the quarantine of livestock and food products, continuing to feed and monitor livestock using stored feed and water, and withholding from market food and dairy products being processed by commercial food processors.

A particular concern was raised by the AC regarding a power loss in an evacuated area where eight dairies were located. The AC stated that without power for ventilation systems and milking machines that the dairy herds were in immediate danger of dying.Discussions between the AC and the Kewaunee County AC resulted in the AC developing priorities for handling milk in the event that power could not be restored.

Milk disposal priorities were: (1) Storing milk in a National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) storage facility, (2) Land/Field spreading and (3) Upland dumping (small amounts over a period of time) Coordination was rapidly made with the state, local electrical equipment rental companiesand adjacent counties to provide and distribute generators to the dairies at risk.During successive time jumps in the exercise and through further discussions with the AC, it was determined that farmers in the area would receive continuous advice through the release of public information messages, pre-printed agricultural brochures and direct support from the University of Wisconsin County Extension Service.All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.

Criterion 3.f.1: The Manitowoc County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) successfully demonstrated the ability to implement decisions regarding the controlled re-entry of emergency workers and relocation and return of the public. A description of the Manitowoc County capability to coordinate and implement decisions concerning re-entry, relocation and return activities were contained in the Recovery Task Force annex 47 to the County Emergency Operations Plan.At 0800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />, on Day-One of the exercise, members of the EOC staff were. briefed by teleconference regarding the situation at, PBNP. The release of radioactive material had been terminated and the recovery phase of the emergency had begun. Prior evacuation orders for Sectors M, N, and P out to a distance of five miles from the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) remained in effect. Following the conference call the EOC staff were given a plume projection map (controller inject) that had been developed during the night by the Wisconsin State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) and began developing plans for allowing emergency workers and residents, particularly dairy farmers, impacted by the emergency to re-enter evacuated areas.Procedures were coordinated among EOC staff members and PBNP to establish a re-entry staging area for plant employees at Two Rivers High School, an Access Control Point (ACP) at the intersection of County Road VV and Highway 42 was established and the route for re-entry was defined as: north on Highway 42, east on County Road V and north on Lakeshore Road to PBNP.During the exercise, three requests for re-entry were received (controller injects) by the County Health Department Representative.

Two re-entry requests were from farmers who wanted to milk and feed their dairy herds and one request was from a resident who wanted to retrieve a valuable gun collection.

Both requests from the farmers were granted and procedures were coordinated with county emergency workers (simulated) e -the retrictda-rea.

The request from the guuIn owner was denied.Following a time jump to Day-Two, the EOC was provided updaated plume projection maps and field sample data and the results of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) fixed wing flyover of the plume pathway (controller injects).

After due consideration of the data provided and coordination with the SRC, it was determined that a "hot spot" of contamination existed in an area beyond the previously evacuated area bounded from the west by Haupt Lake Road, north by Bolt Road in Kewaunee County, east by Collegiate Road and south by Zandel Road.Detailed analysis of croplands in'this area by the AC determined that there were 10 residences in the impacted area. Subsequent coordination among the EOC staff resulted in the Emergency Management Director (EMD) approving a special news broadcast that ordered the relocation of all residents in the impacted area. Residents were advised to register at the reception centers in Kewaunee and Manitowoc Counties.48 On Day-Three of the exercise, the EOC was provided updated plume projection, field sample and FRMAC flyover maps (controller injects).

Coordination with the SRC and further analysis of the data provided resulted in the determination that residents in the Town of Two Rivers and Village of Mishicot south of Assman Road and Irish Road could return to their place of residence.

The EMD subsequently approved a special news release advising residents that the area was now safe for their return. The news release contained detailed information on refreezing or disposing of thawed food products.Subsequent analysis of data and coordination with the SRC resulted in the determination that one area to the West-Northwest of PBNP would require relocation of the public.Through interview with the EMD and other members of the EOC staff it was determined that procedures would be developed to notify residents who had evacuated the restricted area of the relocation requirement and to provide temporary lodging for relocated families until such time as permanent lodging or other arrangements could be made with the American Nuclear Insurers (ANI).All activities described in the demonstration criterion were carried out in accordance with the plan, procedures and extent of play agreement.
