AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Executive Summary On November 1 & 2, 2011, the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway and an ingestion pathway exercise in the emergency and ingestion planning zones for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS). GGNS is located in Claiborne County, approximately 29 miles south of Vicksburg, Mississippi and is operated by Entergy Nuclear. The GGNS Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is divided into 16 Protective Action Areas designated 1 through 12. The 10 mile EPZ encompasses Claiborne County; with an EPZ population of approximately 9604 as reported in the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data.

FEMAs overall objective of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency at GGNS. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of state and local radiological emergency response plans and procedures. The previous federally evaluated exercise at this site was conducted on September 9, 2009. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted November 4-5, 1981.

The purpose of this report is to analyze exercise results, identify strengths to be maintained and built upon, identify potential areas for further improvement, and support development of corrective actions.

The objectives for the 2011 GGNS REP Exercise were as follows:

• Objective 1: Demonstrate the ability to provide emergency operations center (EOC) management including direction and control through the state and counties Emergency Operations Centers.

• Objective 2: Demonstrate the ability to provide protective action decision-making for state and county emergency workers and public through exercise play and discussions of plans and procedures.

• Objective 3: Demonstrate the ability to physically implement protective actions for state and county emergency workers and public through exercise demonstration.

• Objective 4: Demonstrate the ability to activate the Alert and Notification System/Emergency Alert System (ANS/EAS) through exercise play.

• Objective 5: Demonstrate the effectiveness of plans, policies and procedures in the Joint Information Center (JIC) for joint (public and private sector) emergency information communications.

• Objective 6: Demonstrate the ability to provide and implement protective action decision-making for State and County emergency workers and residents concerning Recovery, Reentry and Relocation of radiological affected areas.

Executive Summary 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 5

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise These objectives encompass the REP Program evaluation area criteria. Except as noted below, the objectives were successfully demonstrated during this exercise. FEMA identified the following area requiring corrective action (ARCA) 028-11-2.b.1-A-01: 1.a.) Large differences between thyroid dose projections and calculated thyroid doses based on field monitoring team (FMT) air sampling results went unresolved; 1.b.) Large differences in dose projections from the State and utility went unresolved, resulting in potentially unnecessary evacuation beyond the EPZ. At no time were the differences in dose calculations questioned by the Radiological Dose Assessment Officer (RDAO) at the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) or the Radiological Accident Assessment Officer (RAAO) at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) during the data collection, analysis and the protective action recommendation (PAR) process.

FEMA will provide an Improvement Plan (IP) to the State of Mississippi that describes Strengths and Areas for Improvement observed during the exercise. The IP will be published under a separate cover and classified For Official Use Only (FOUO) in compliance with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) standards.

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise 1.3 Site Assistance Visits A Site Assistance Visit (SAV) was conducted on the Mississippi State Department of Health, Department of Radiological Health (MSDH/DRH) on September 12, 2011 by the FEMA Region IV Site Specialist.

The SAV consisted of: providing basic information on the development of a Laboratory Radiological Training Tracking document; and a 100% inventory of potassium iodide (KI) within the state of Mississippi.

The SAV began by inventorying Laboratory Radiological Training and Environmental Monitoring and Emergency Response Sign-In rosters and EW KI questionnaires for EWs assigned to the DRH. No discrepancies were noted.

Development of a quick reference tracking document was discussed with the Laboratory Director. FEMA RIV recommended using Microsoft Excel and tracking each EW by name, ID number, type of training conducted and dates training are conducted.

The remainder to the SAV was dedicated to the KI inventory. The DRH uses Thryo-Safe KI tablets in dosages 65mg for children (expire 05/2013) and 130mg for adults (expire 09/2014). The expiration dates were current and no extension letters are required. The storage locations visited were the DRH facility, Hinds County Department of Health, Adams County Department of Health, Warren County Department of Health, Copiah County Department of Health, Claiborne County Department of Health and The Port Gibson Office of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Each KI location was visited and the KI was visually and physically inventoried. Each location used a secured room or secure storage container with access limited to designated Health Department personnel. No discrepancies were noted with KI or KI storage locations/containers.

Section 1: Exercise Overview 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 10

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design DHS/FEMA administers the REP Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) parts 350, 351 and 352. 44 CFR 350 codifies 16 planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for licensee, State, tribal and local governments impacted by the EPZs established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States. 44 CFR 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of State, Tribal and local government radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures by DHS/FEMA. One of the REP program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities. During these exercises State, Tribal and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.

The results of this exercise together with review of the RERPs and procedures and verification of the periodic requirements set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 through the Annual Letter of Certification (ALC) and staff assistance visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final AAR to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that State, Tribal and local plans and preparedness are (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to FEMA Region IV by the State of Mississippi and involved local jurisdictions occurred on May 22, 1981.

Formal approval of the RERP was granted by FEMA on June 29, 1983, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was evaluated on November 1 & 2, 2011, and included evaluations of the out-of-sequence activities held during the week of July 25-29; September 6-9; and October 3-4, 2011 to include a Medical Services Drill (MSD) on July 28, 2011.

2.2 FEMA Exercise (HSEEP) Objectives and Capabilities Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the Target Capabilities List (TCL). The capabilities listed below form the foundation for the organization of all FEMA Region IV REP Program objectives and observations in this exercise.

• Emergency Operations Center Management: Is the capability to provide multi-agency coordination (MAC) for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. EOC management Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 11

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise includes EOC activation, notification, staffing, and deactivation; management, direction, control, and coordination of response and recovery activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, state, and federal EOCs; coordination public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response and recovery activities.

• Emergency Public Information and Warning: Is the capability that includes public information, alert/warning and notification. It involves developing, coordinating, and disseminating information to the public, coordinating officials, and incident management and responders across all jurisdictions and disciplines effectively under all hazard conditions.

• Emergency Public Safety and Security Response: Is the capability to reduce the impact and consequences of an incident or major event by securing the affected area, including crime/incident scene preservation issues as appropriate, safely diverting the public from hazards, providing security support to other response operations and properties, and sustaining operations from response through recovery. Public Safety and Security Response requires coordination among officials from law enforcement (LE), fire and emergency medical services (EMS).

• Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination: Is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attack. It includes testing and identifying all likely hazardous substances onsite; ensuring that responders have protective clothing and equipment; conducting rescue operations to remove affected victims from the hazardous environment; conducting geographical survey searches of suspected sources or contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; mitigating the effects of hazardous materials, decontaminating on-site victims, responders, and equipment; coordinating off-site decontamination with relevant agencies, and notifying environmental, health, and law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard evidence collection and investigation procedures.

• Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment: Is the capability to appropriately dispatch EMS resources; to provide feasible, suitable, and medically acceptable pre-hospital triage and treatment of patients; to provide transport as well as medical care en-route to an appropriate receiving facility; and to track patients to a treatment facility.

• Mass Care: Is the capability to provide immediate shelter, feeding centers, basic first aid, bulk distribution of needed items, and related services to persons affected by a large-scale incident, including special needs populations. Special needs populations include individuals with physical or mental disabilities who require medical attention or personal care beyond basic first aid. Other special-needs Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 12

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise populations include non-English speaking populations that may need to have information presented in other languages. The mass care capability also provides for pet care/handling through local government and appropriate animal-related organizations. Mass care is usually performed by nongovernmental organizations (NGO), such as the American Red Cross (ARC), or by local government-sponsored volunteer efforts, such as Citizen Corps. Special-needs populations are generally the responsibility of local government, with medical needs addressed by the medical community and/or its alternate care facilities. State and Federal entities also play a role in public and environmental health by ensuring safe conditions, safe food, potable water, sanitation, clean air, etc.

• Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense is the capability to prevent, protect against, respond to and recover from chemical, biological and radiological contaminants, and other hazards that affect the safety of food and agricultural products. This includes the timely eradication of outbreaks of crop diseases/pests, assessments of the integrity of the food producing industry, the removal and disposal of potentially compromised materials from the U.S. food supply, and decontamination of affected food manufacturing facilities or retail points of purchase or service. This also includes appropriate laboratory surveillance to detect human foodborne illness or food product contamination. It is accomplished concurrent to protecting public health and maintaining domestic and international confidence in the U.S. commercial food supply. Additionally, the public is provided with accurate and timely notification and instructions related to an event and appropriate steps to follow with regard to disposal of affected food or agricultural products and appropriate decontamination procedures.

Additionally, each capability is linked to several corresponding activities and tasks to provide additional detail. Based upon the identified exercise objectives, the following capabilities and associated activities are:

Objective 1: Capability: EOC Management Objective 2: Capability: EOC Management Capability: Emergency Public Information and Warning Objective 3: Capability: EOC Management Capability: Emergency Public Safety and Security Response Capability: Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination Capability: Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding, Related Services)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 3.1 Exercise Evaluation and Results This section contains the results and findings of the evaluation of all jurisdictions and functional entities that participated in the November 1 & 2, 2011 plume and ingestion phase exercise and Out-of-Sequence (OOS) activities. Exercise criteria are listed by number and the demonstration status of those criteria are indicated by the use of the following terms:

• Met (No Deficiency or ARCA(s) assessed and no unresolved ARCA(s) from prior exercise)

• ARCA(s) assessed or unresolved ARCA(s) from previous exercises

• Deficiency assessed

• Plan Issues

• Not Demonstrated 3.2 Plume Evaluation Capability Summaries 3.2.1 State of Mississippi State Emergency Operations Center Management:

Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) personnel and SEOC staff successfully demonstrated the capability to provide multi-agency coordination for incident management by activating and operating an EOC for a pre-planned or no-notice event. This capability included EOC activation, notification, staffing; management, direction, control, and coordination of response activities; coordination of efforts among neighboring governments at each level and among local, regional, and State EOCs and Federal Agencies; coordination of public information and warning; and maintenance of the information and communication necessary for coordinating response activities.

The SEOC was successfully activated in a timely manner upon notification of Alert Emergency Classification Level (ECL) from the GGNS. The State Warning Point (WP) correctly recorded the information onto an emergency notification form and distributed to MEMA management. The WP personnel notified MEMA personnel without delay until 100% notification of MEMA response staff was accomplished. This process was accomplished in 12 minutes.

The primary and alternate means of communication both functioned as intended.

Additional means of communication were operational and observed being utilized during the exercise. Redundant communication systems insured the SEOC had the ability to communicate with other agencies.

The Director of Response and the MEMA Director demonstrated good direction and control in coordinating response and Protective Action Decisions (PAD) among Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 15

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise neighboring governments at the local, regional, State and Federal levels. There was excellent coordination and teamwork while developing extended evacuation areas. The Director of Response and MEMA Director insured they received input from the Public Information Officer (PIO) and the RAAO in making all decisions.

The Director of Responses briefings were frequent enough to keep staff up to date and remind them to continually look ahead and be proactive in their planning. All branches used WebEOC to post actions and important information.

Emergency Workers (EW) were dispatched from the SEOC based on approved mission assignment requests from the risk and host counties submitted through WebEOC. The Radiation Exposure Control Officer (RECO) could verify the mission assignments prior to issuing dosimetry and potassium iodide (KI). The MEMA Director approved mission assignments. EWs would be dispatched based on the urgency specified by the requesting agency.

The RECO would issue dosimetry, KI tablets, associated tracking forms, and ensure Self-Reading Dosimeters (SRD) was zeroed during issue. The RECO also would provide an EW briefing to EWs. A turn-back value of one Roentgen (1R) would require the EW to leave the risk area and proceed to a designated decontamination location.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.2, 3.a.1, 3.b.1 and 3.c.1 Emergency Public Information and Warning:

The SEOC PIO functions were conducted successfully and in a timely manner. The PIOs were consistent: in developing and tracking messages; maintaining coordination and contact with the SEOC PIO in the Emergency News Media Center (ENMC); researching informational and media related taskings; and seeking and obtaining message approvals in a timely manner. The SEOC PIOs are well trained, knowledgeable of plans and procedures and performed their duties in an excellent fashion.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 5.a.1 and 5.b.1 Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:

This capability was successfully demonstrated by Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Division of Radiological Health (DRH) personnel at the SEOC. The DRH RAAO and his assistant reported to the SEOC following notification from the WP that the SEOC was being activated due to an Alert ECL at GGNS. The RAAOs work area had sufficient equipment and supplies to support emergency operations and he communicated frequently with other DRH personnel stationed at the EOF and JIC via cellular telephone, commercial telephone, and fax. In addition, he had access to other resources in the SEOC if necessary.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 16

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise The RAAO provided general direction for the DRH dose assessment effort. Using information gathered from that effort, as well as information from the utility, he made reasoned PARs to the SEOC leadership and participated in decision-making discussions.

As thyroid dose projections increased, he coordinated with the MSDH representative in Emergency Support Function-8 (ESF) to obtain authorization from the State Health Officers (SHO) designee to issue KI to emergency workers and later to the general public in the affected areas.

The MSDH/DRH staff assigned to the GGNS EOF successfully demonstrated the capability to provide timely dose assessment calculations, FMT results, and other pertinent information to the RAAO at the SEOC for the development of PARs. The staff included the Emergency Operation Facility Captain (EOF Captain), RDAO, Radiological Emergency Response Team Coordinator (RERTC), and a Logistics Assistant.

The MSDH/DRH EOF staff arrived at the EOF at 1019 following real-time activation from their offices in Jackson, MS. The staff promptly acquired the current GGNS plant status and situation, performed the required position activation steps, and were operational within a matter of minutes.

The RDAOs responsibilities included performing dose calculations using Radiological Assessment for Consequence Analysis (RASCAL) version 4.1 based upon radioactive effluent release and meteorological data, and Mississippi FMT results. The RERTC served as the FMT Coordinator for Mississippis two field monitoring teams, positioning them downwind to characterize any radiological release. The Logistics Assistant recorded pertinent field monitoring team results on the EOFs FMT status board. The EOF Captain collected and analyzed the data from the RDAO, the RERTC and plant status, and promptly forwarded the information to the RAAO at the SEOC. The RAAO at the SEOC was responsible for formulation of PARs and presentation of the PARs to the MEMA Director and the Claiborne County Civil Defense Director for a coordinated PAD.

The FMT activities were efficiently and appropriately directed by the RERTC.

Radiological readings and air sample analysis from FMTs were promptly processed by the RERTC and forwarded to the RDAO. Dosimeter exposures were requested at 30 minute intervals from the FMTs and recorded by the RERTC. At 1229, the RERTC instructed the FMTs to administer KI per the SHOs recommendation.

The EOF Captain was in charge of the MSDH/DRH staff and ensured that all necessary environmental monitoring and technical assessments were performed at the EOF and that appropriate information was forwarded to the RAAO at the SEOC until exercise termination at 1334.

This capability was demonstrated by the DRH FMTs during the GGNS Emergency Exercise conducted on November 1, 2011.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 17

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise The FMTs were pre-positioned at the DRH facility located at 3150 Lawson Street, Jackson, MS. The FMT equipment and supplies were adequate to support radiological monitoring and emergency worker functions. Three communications systems were available and verified operational prior to deployment. The FMTs received an operational briefing by the RERTC at DRH. Field team instruments were within calibration and were properly checked for operation. Field team instrumentation was sufficient to perform airborne particulate and radioiodine sampling. Ambient direct radiation measurements were also performed. The FMTs performed hazard assessment by locating the edges of the plume, as directed by the RERTC, and identified and quantified the simulated release. The FMTs demonstrated appropriate surveying, sampling, and counting techniques to properly track the plume.

Ambient readings and personnel exposures were routinely communicated to the RERTC.

Airborne radioactivity was assessed using an air sampler fitted with a particulate filter and a charcoal cartridge. FMT members were knowledgeable about the purpose of KI and the correct dosages prescribed. KI supplies, instructions, and documentation were satisfactorily demonstrated. Emergency worker exposure control was satisfactorily demonstrated with appropriate dosimetry use and proper documentation.

Area Requiring Corrective Actions OR Area for Improvement 028-11-2.b.1-A-01 The majority of the Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination capability was successfully demonstrated by MSDH/DRH personnel located at the EOF. The activity, Hazard Assessment and Risk Evaluation (a sub-capability) was not successfully accomplished. The RDAO projected downwind doses and compared RASCAL projections against Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs). The RDAO compared RASCAL projections to GGNS DoseCalc projections for independent validation. Early projection comparisons between RASCAL and DoseCalc following the 0947 release were within a factor of ten of each other. The 1232 GGNS DoseCalc projection, however, varied from the MSDH/DRH RASCAL projection by a factor of 15 at the 10-mile boundary of the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The GGNS DoseCalc Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) projection at ten miles was 5.4 rem and the exceeded EPA PAGs of 5 rem thyroid CDE. The licensee PAR called for an evacuation out to 15 miles in Sectors G, H, and J. The RASCAL projection, however, exceeded thyroid CDE PAGs beyond two miles, but less than three miles and was only 0.35 rem at ten miles. Dose projection differences exceeding a factor of ten were not resolved with the utility. The airborne radioiodine calculation for location M2.5 was made by FMT 1 at 1217.

The RDAO input the concentration of 9.82E-5 microcuries per cubic centimeter into the RASCAL FM-Dose module. The resulting calculated CDE thyroid dose at that location for a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> exposure duration was 254 rem. The calculated dose from the air sample was not compared to the RASCAL projected dose based on release rates, which at that time projected a dose of only 2-5 rem. The difference between the measured concentration and projected concentration went unresolved. The RASCAL dose projections were transmitted to the RAAO at the SEOC. The RAAO recommended evacuation of the public beyond ten miles in accordance with GGNS PAR and the PAD of evacuation of the public out to 15 Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 18

By 1256, the release rates had dropped significantly enough that DoseCalc projections indicated a thyroid CDE of only 0.1 rem at 10 miles and the MSDH/DRH RASCAL projections exceeded thyroid CDE PAGs to less than 0.3 miles.

Reference:

1. Interim REP Program Manual, Evaluation Area 2, Protective Action Decision Making, sub-element 2.b.1

2. Activity 2, Task 2.2 Note whether differences in dose projections greater than a factor of ten were discussed with the licensee. If so, were the differences resolved and considered in the PAR?

Analysis: Comparisons of projected doses between the licensees 1232 DoseCalc output and MSDH/DRHs 1244 RASCAL output were made, but the large differences between calculated doses went unresolved. The licensees PARs were subsequently adopted as PADs by the SEOC and Claiborne County, requiring ad hoc protective actions beyond the 10-mile EPZ.

Recommendations:

1. Upon calculations being made between the licensee and the State with the results greater than a factor of 10, MSDH/DRH staff at the EOF should consult with licensee dose assessment staff to resolve the differences between projections.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 2.a.1, 2.b.2 and 4.a.1.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Evacuee vehicles entering the Reception Center would be stopped and washed prior to entering the campus. All passengers except the driver would be removed and guided to the portal monitor for assessment. The driver would be guided to parking and then transported back to the portal monitor station. If evacuees are deemed uncontaminated, they would proceed to the gym entrance and be processed into the Reception Center and briefed on center rules. Should an evacuee be contaminated, he/she will be directed to the appropriate shower area for decontamination removal. A subsequent survey by handheld meters would be conducted to determine decontaminated status. Once the individual was uncontaminated, he/she would be processed into the Reception Center using the same process as the uncontaminated individuals.

The Radiological Monitoring and Decontamination team knew that 1mR/hr was the action level to determine if an individual was contaminated. The workers at the Hinds County Reception Center successfully explained and demonstrated the procedures for the processing of evacuees.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1 and 6.a.1.

Mass Care (Sheltering, Feeding and Related Services):

Representatives from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) and the ARC, Mississippi Capital River Chapter, Jackson Office described registration activities for the reception center and shelter operations. All representatives were very knowledgeable about their duties and responsibilities. MDHS accomplishes initial registration of evacuees and manages the reception. The ARC manages the shelter located in the Mayo Fieldhouse at the Raymond Campus. Both MDHS and ARC personnel are located at each location.

The registration tables are staffed by both MDHS and ARC personnel to assist evacuees in accomplishing the standard ARC Shelter Registration Form. There was no separate MDHS registration form for the state. An Initial Intake and Assessment Tool form is also used to identify individuals with special needs. A nurses station is staffed to assist evacuees with medical needs. Companion animals are allowed in the reception center and shelter.

Transportation is provided by Hinds County EMA to transport evacuees from the Reception Center to the Shelter. Evacuees wishing to depart the reception center for other destinations would have to wait until reception center staff had time to survey vehicles for contamination and designate clean. Evacuees would be encouraged to wait at the shelter rather than at the reception center until this could occur. Transportation back to the reception center would also be provided once evacuee vehicles had been cleared.

Evacuees arriving at the shelter from the reception center would complete another registration form and be briefed on shelter rules. A computer would also be set up near the registration area to allow evacuees to register on the ARC Safe and Well web site or to search for family members. Necessary supplies would be brought in from response trailers stored at the ARC Jackson Office or from other nearby ARC shelters. If the shelter reached capacity, a backup shelter at one of the Hinds County Schools in Raymond would be activated.

For this capability the following REP criterion was met: 6.c.1.

3.2.4.4 Warren County Emergency Operations Center Management:

The Warren County EOC is located at 1009 Cherry Street, Vicksburg, MS. This facility contains the primary working space and the necessary communications to coordinate emergency operations throughout the county and to maintain liaison with MEMA and the SEOC. The EOC was activated in accordance with the Warren County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (WCREPP) in support of the GGNS.

The Warren County Emergency Management Director (WCEMD) has the primary responsibility for the management and activation of the EOC. The Staff in the EOC was arranged in accordance with the ESF structure as outlined in the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

The EOC was well lit and offered ample space for the staff to perform the duties required of them. Equipment and supplies were sufficient to support Host County EOC operations. The EOC was well equipped with a redundancy in communications. The primary means of communication was cellular phone and commercial telephone.

Secondary communications included 800 MHz radio, facsimiles and internet connectivity.

Warren County is one of four host counties to the GGNS. During an evacuation of Claiborne County, Warren County is responsible for coordinating response activities, such as monitoring and decontamination, registering and emergency workers and sheltering of evacuees. Warren Central High School (WCHS) in Vicksburg has been designated as the counties RCCC. The County will also support Claiborne with transportation support for the relocation of school children.

The Host counties are not afforded the opportunity to listen in to the decisions between MEMA and Claiborne County. This deficit of information leaves the Host counties without the full picture of the situation. The adage of situational awareness extends beyond Warren counties borders because its primary mission is to provide support to Claiborne County evacuees. Allowing or ensuring that the Host counties are involved in the process would help.

Throughout the exercise both the Director and Operations Officer conducted periodic updates to the staff. This was followed by a brief discussion with each agency on their individual response efforts and actions. These briefings ensured that the staff of the EOC was well aware of each agencies action and provided for an increase in situational awareness among the different departments. The Director and the various agencies supporting the EOC are fully capable of performing the duties required of them.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a.1, 1.c.1, 1.d.1 and 1.e.1.

Evacuees with special needs or medical needs could receive an assessment at this location prior to being moved to appropriate facilities.

For this capability the following REP criteria were MET: 6.c.1.

Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment The Vicksburg Fire Department and River Region Medical Center successfully demonstrated the capability to respond to and treat contaminated injured individuals during an MSD. All on hand dosimetry and survey equipment was operational and preformed as intended. The fire department response to the scene was simulated but each EW exemplified good knowledge and training with dosimetry, survey equipment, contamination control practices and wearing of PPE. The patient was triaged and secured according to procedures and transported successfully to the hospital. One key piece of patient information was not transmitted to the hospital by the medical technicians; however the hospital did receive notification of a contaminated patient from the 911 dispatcher prior to the medical technicians notification.

The contract GGNS controller was not completely familiar with the patient injects causing a delayed response for the medical technicians as they requested patient information for simulated activities (i.e. IV, blood pressure, status monitor, and level of pain).

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 30

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Upon arrival at River Region Medical Center, the medical technicians began discussing multiple methods to transfer the contaminated patient to the hospital. When the contaminated patient was removed from the vehicle there was no clear directions given to the medical technicians of what to do with the patient. A written procedure exists in the hospitals Radiation Emergency Area Set-Up checklist but was not utilized. No negative consequences resulted from this deviation as the medical technicians wheeled the patient directly into the decontamination room.

The Emergency Department (ED) at River Region Medical Center received a call from a 911 dispatcher informing of a general evacuation around Grand Gulf Nuclear Station and that an ambulance had been dispatched for an accident victim in the evacuation area which was potentially contaminated. Based on the call, ED staff quickly decided to prepare to receive a radiologically contaminated patient. Established procedures were followed in assigning personnel and setting up the decontamination room and the exterior sidewalk and driveway areas of the ambulance bay. All equipment and supplies necessary for receiving a contaminated patient are stored inside the decontamination room.

The four personnel (one doctor, two nurses, and one nuclear medicine technologist) in the radiation emergency area (REA) and the buffer zone nurse and assistant (nuclear medicine director) properly wore PPE, gloves and dosimetry. All survey equipment and dosimeters were operational and used as intended.

The ambulance arrived, wheeled the patient into the decontamination room on the ambulance gurney and provided a medical report to the doctor and the patient was transferred from the ambulance gurney to the decontamination table. The patient was still strapped to the ambulances backboard during the transfer.

Step 14 of the hospitals Radiation Emergency Area Set-Up checklist (Attachment I of their procedure) says to Place stretcher in ambulance parking area. Place decon table on stretcher.

The doctor and nurses began a medical assessment of the patient immediately following the transfer of the patient while a nurse collected nose and mouth swabs.

The technologist began surveying using proper survey techniques and found all areas of contamination on the patient. The final survey of the patient was performed and declared clean except for the bandaged forearm wound. However, the patients back was never surveyed. This was due in part to the patient not having to be log rolled to remove his clothing; the clothing was cut away in the initial assessment. When prompted, REA personnel correctly described the procedure for log rolling and surveying the patients back.

The patient was transferred to a clean ED gurney and removed from the REA. One nurse properly demonstrated PPE doffing using the posted procedure.

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise 3.3 Ingestion Evaluation Capability Summaries 3.3.1 State of Mississippi State Emergency Operations Center Management & Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense:

The Ingestion Pathway Exercise began with the MEMA director having the three Branch Chiefs (Infrastructure, Emergency Services and Human Services) brief the SEOC, Risk and Host Counties on the present conditions, completed actions and any possible problem areas. In addition the Department of Health/Division of Radiological Health, National Weather Service, the Director of Response and the MEMA Director gave briefings. The RAAO recommended embargoing all products in the I-131 plume area identified on the plume plot.

The MEMA Director directed the Branch Chiefs, Department of Health and the RAAO to develop an embargo area and identify boundaries that could be defined. He also directed that a plan be developed to attempt to get evacuated personnel returned to their homes and to get families that had been separated united.

The RAAO briefed the MEMA Director and Leadership Team and members of Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) initial embargo and relocation areas. His initial recommendation was to have personnel shelter in place out to 50 miles based on the utility generated I-131 map. A FRMAC representative clarified what the ingestion map identified and how to use the information. She stated that the map could not be used to determine shelter in place recommendations just agriculture and livestock PARs, and that sheltering in place was not an appropriate recommendation based on the map information. After much discussion the MEMA Director ordered the RAAO, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), and Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) to develop realistic defined boundaries for five counties and to only restrict personnel movement in Claiborne and Jefferson Counties.

After the Team had time to develop a plan the MEMA Director briefed the Risk and Host Counties. The RAAO began the briefing and then the FRMAC Representative assisted in explaining the maps and the information and its impact on the evacuation and embargo areas. It was determined that the embargo area would include Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson, and Lincoln Counties. The MEMA Director asked the counties if they had any questions or comments and included them in the process. In addition personnel could return to all area except Protective Action Areas (PAA) 1, 4A, 4B, 5A and 5B.

After this briefing was completed there was a simulated time jump to Day 3. The time jump to day three began with an SEOC briefing. The briefing content summarized the PARs/PADs which had occurred and the events which would have occurred within that timeframe. The Infrastructure Branch, Emergency Services Branch and Human Services Branch Chiefs, Risk and Host County Directors, and Department of Radiological Health briefed accomplished actions for the previous time period. The MEMA Director then Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 32

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise briefed his expectations for all personnel; refer to respective plans and procedures and prepare expected actions for re-entry.

The MEMA Director convened a PAR meeting for re-entry after the briefing. He posed questions from Annex H of the Mississippi Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (MREPP) to DRH, Claiborne County EMD, and FRMAC pertaining to re-entry into PAAs 1, 4a, 4b, 5a, and 5b. The MEMA Director requested the RAAO to re-access ingestion data and define which areas would require relocation as opposed to re-entry.

The FRMAC Representative informed them of the capability to create Re-entry Dose Maps for the affected area with a stay time of two hours. FRMAC and DRH decided to pool their resources and confer on the development of re-entry options for the MEMA Director. The outcome was a DRH and FRMAC recommendation to relax the PAD for PAAs 5a and 5b. The MEMA Director and the Claiborne County EMD both concurred.

The decision makers discussed the re-entry process. They would encourage families to only re-enter for urgent reasons such as: collect a family pet; feed farm animals; or collect items dire to their standard of living. The mode of transportation for re-entry was discussed, such as using busses, to aid controlling the amount of individuals re-entering the area and designating a single point of entry and exit. Consideration was given to transporting family pets from the affected area and what circumstances would have to be employed to safely move pets and maintain contamination control.

Following this briefing there was a simulated time jump to day 7. The Leadership Team, Branch Chiefs and Claiborne County EMD held discussions centered on the disposal of affected crops and livestock. The MEMA Director requested the advice of the FRMAC A Team. The FRMAC Representative explained map products and information to be gained reading the maps which helped in the decision making process. The A Team advised of the possibility for reprocessing affected animals and crops if possible. In some instances the reprocessing would decontaminate crops and/or animals enough for other uses than intended. The A Team requested the type of crop/livestock and the quantity to begin researching options. The next discussion pertaining to the disposal of affected crops and livestock was with the Entergy representative who referred all questions to American Nuclear Insurers (ANI). The last option considered was to request the implementation of the Price Anderson Act for immediate funding.

Exercise End of Exercise (ENDEX) followed immediately after this discussion was complete.

For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 2.d.1, 2.e.1, 3.e.1, 3.e.2 and 3.f.1.

Hazardous Materials Response & Decontamination:

This capability was demonstrated by DRH Field Teams (FTs) out of sequence on November 1, 2011, and by DRH dose assessment personnel during the exercise on November 2.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 33

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Two FMTs were positioned near GGNS following the plume phase of the exercise. Both FMTs had adequate equipment and supplies to collect samples essential for the assessment of the hazards and to evaluate the level of risk to responders and the public.

The teams collected soil, water, vegetation and milk samples using procedures designed to prevent cross contamination. The samples were properly prepared and sized for effective laboratory analysis. Proper labeling and packaging were demonstrated, as well as chain of custody procedures. Direct radiation measurements were performed at the sampling sites, and locations were identified and documented.

The Dose Assessment Officer (DAO) used a DRH computer equipped with a calculation spreadsheet to determine first-year, second-year, and fifty-year doses, as well as derived response levels from the laboratory analysis of a soil sample. The DAO also used another spreadsheet to determine that contamination on a feed grass sample exceeded protective action guidelines.

For this capability the following REP criterion was met: 4.b.1 3.3.2 County Emergency Operations Centers Local Emergency Operations Center Management:

The risk county of Claiborne and host counties of Adams, Copiah, Hinds and Warren successfully demonstrated this capability through the use of open discussion during the GGNS Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise. This table top exercise provided the counties the opportunity to react, and respond to PADs following a simulated release of radioactive material from GGNS. The County Directors and their assistants performed the duties required of them and in accordance with their plans.

Day 2: All counties, host and risk successfully demonstrated this capability by discussing and assessing radiological consequences, which would affect the life and safety of the residents of the county. During this ingestion phase exercise, Risk and Host County Directors, Claiborne PIO and Host Counties operation officers were present at MEMA.

Day 2 begin with a situation awareness briefing from MEMA staff. Claiborne County had been completely evacuated from the 10 mile EPZ and Host Counties had their evacuees in Reception Centers in surrounding host counties. Claiborne County also was secure from any reentry. Adams, Copiah, Warren and Hinds Counties had open shelters with evacuees. MEMA reported that all shelters had been closed accept in Hinds county.

MEMA Director called all the counties into a meeting to update them and to get concurrence from the county to extend the EPZ by 15 miles. All the counties agreed to extend the EPZ and provide notification of the action taken by MEMA. During the exercise the risk and host counties had a multiagency meeting to arrange resources for reimbursement out-of-pocket expenses.

The Claiborne County PIO was responsible for developing message Information and press releases to Claiborne County residents. The PIO ensured that the EMD reviewed Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 34

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise and approved the release of each message to ensure accurate information was given to the public.

During the Day 2 event support personnel were kept actively involved in the ongoing operation and demonstrated a strong ability to provide mutual support and provide assistance as needed to ensure a successful mission. The Directors conducted numerous staff briefs to keep staff members abreast of changing conditions, to guide and verify actions and to allow staff to address concerns. This was particularly effective in that it allowed communication between host and risk counties and MEMA to accomplish their objectives.

Day 3: The county Directors and their assistants discussed the importance of maintaining situational awareness, both with external events and agencies and with internal operations. They discussed the use of several proven methods used in other hazardous events, and agreed that they would rely on state guidance provided for emergency worker radiation exposure controls. County directors also agreed they would rely heavily on their county agriculture agent and law enforcement assistance from the state in accomplishing notifications and enforcing agricultural restrictions which might be imposed by the State Agriculture Department. During the discussion of relocation, reentry and return the counties realized they would need additional resources and training to be able to accomplish the tasks without assistance from other agencies. They agreed they would follow the recommendations of the state relating to relocation and return but again would need assistance in accomplishing the tasks. 1172 evacuees were reported at the Host Counties Shelter by the morning of day 3; the Host Counties provided Claiborne County with police officers for traffic flows of evacuees, Host Counties supported Claiborne County as needed with re-entry efforts. Re-entry decisions were made and coordinated with the counties, based on assessments of radiological conditions and criterion according to MREPP, Annex H. No food or water restriction affected Host County. The EMDs participated in numerous decision meetings in coordination with the State and other counties on protective actions during the operation period of Day 3. American Nuclear Insurance was also setup and established to receive claims from evacuees. The counties built an Incident Action Plan (IAP) with objectives for the long term recovery. The flow of information through the Hosts and Risk counties and MEMA was seamless. They performed professionally and displayed excellent teamwork. The County Directors proactive leadership contributed to the success of the day 3 events.

Day 7: Risk and Host Counties successfully demonstrated this capability by discussing and assessing radiological consequences, which would affect the life and safety of the residents of the county. All the Directors communicated with county governments, frequently providing updates to the Board of Supervisors. Situational Informational Reports (SitRep) were created by the Risk and Host Counties Emergency Management for Day-7; the following objectives were identified: Provide assistance to Claiborne County with re-entry efforts, Traffic Flow- Sheriff Office, Transportation- School Boards, Provide assistance to Copiah County, Law Enforcement- City of Jackson and to ensure dissemination of reimbursement information to evacuees.

Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 35

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise The Directors participated in discussions with MEMA and Department of Human Services regarding reimbursement for activities supporting the emergency (simulated).

The Host County Directors discussion with the State Area Coordinators pertained to who would reimburse funds to the counties and the residents.

Claiborne County requested assistance with the transportation of evacuees from shelters to their homes; the Assistant Director tasked the Hinds County School Board to provide school busses and to coordinate the transportation with the ARC and Claiborne County Shelter. The Assistant Director requested through the State Area Coordinator that a Claims Center be opened at Hinds Community College, Raymond Campus. The Directors of the host and risk counties and Operation Officers provided direction and control for their counties throughout the exercise. They effectively coordinated protective actions with Claiborne and host counties of Adams, Copiah, Hinds, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln and Warren to protect the public. All Risk and Host County personnel during the exercise performed professionally and displayed excellent teamwork.

The following County personnel were represented:

Risk County Claiborne County = Port Gibson\Claiborne County EM Director, Operations Officer Host Counties Copiah = Copiah County EM Director, Operations Officer Hinds = Hinds County EM Director, Assistant Director Warren = Warren County EM Director, Operations Officer Adams = Adams County EM Director, Operations Officer Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ) Counties Jefferson, Franklin, and Lincoln For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 2.d.1, 2.e.1, 3.e.1, 3.e.2 and 3.f.1.

3.3.3 Joint Operations 3.3.3.1 Joint Information Center (JIC)

Emergency Public Information and Warning:

MEMA is the coordinating agency during events which overwhelm local jurisdictions or for which the Governor has declared a State of Emergency. Thus, MEMAs PIO will be the de facto coordinating PIO during such incidents. When incidents require the activation of the Mississippi SEOC the SJIC operating from the SEOC is also activated. The initiation of the SJIC and support of an incident at GGNS was described in the Day 1 Plume Phase evaluation. The second day of the exercise, the ingestion pathway exercise (IPX) tabletop Section 3: Analysis of Capabilities 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 36

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise was designed to focus on activities subsequent to declaration of a General Emergency (GE) and anticipated to occur on Days 2, 3, and 7 of the incident.

The high level of competence displayed on day 1 continued during the IPX. The State Lead PIO described a situation in which the off-site activities would shift the public information focus from the Entergy JIC to the SJIC following initial responses to a declaration of GE.

Although SJIC participants were limited to State personnel, the Lead PIO explained that sustainment of the Joint Information System necessitated a collective effort by Federal, State, local and private sector partners. During the IPX she drew upon the experience of her staff to align assistant PIOs with the SEOC branches. She also ensured that as emergency information messages were prepared that information was obtained from the private sector.

These actions enabled the APIOs to monitor evolving response, recovery and re-entry plans as they developed facilitating the timely revision of pre-scripted message templates as well as the generation of ad hoc emergency information messages to convey essential information to the public. The SJIC staff understood operational procedures and was not reluctant to refer to guidelines and procedural manuals to ensure consistency.

The SJIC staff successfully implemented their plans and procedures in the development, coordination and dissemination of eight emergency information messages, and in describing how high visibility and recurring media briefings would transpire.

For this capability the following REP criterion was met: 5.b.1.

3.3.3.2 Dose Assessment Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination:

Officials and representatives from the State of Mississippi; the risk county of Claiborne and the host counties of, Adams, Copiah, Hinds and Warren; Entergy as well as numerous volunteers participated in the exercise. The cooperation and teamwork of the participants manifested throughout all segments of the exercise. FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated and made this exercise a success. 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.

State and local emergency response organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them.

During this exercise, FEMA identified the following area requiring corrective action (ARCA):

1. 028-11-2.b.1-A-01 MSDH/DRH:

Condition:

1.

a. Large differences between thyroid dose projections and calculated thyroid doses based on FMT air sampling results went unresolved;

b. Large differences in dose projections from the State and utility went unresolved, resulting in potentially unnecessary evacuation beyond the EPZ.

c. At no time were the differences in dose calculations questioned by the RDAO (EOF) or the RAAO (DRH at SEOC) during the data collection, analysis and the PAR process.

2. Protective Action Decision Making Sub-element 2.a. - Emergency Worker Exposure Control

Participants:

SEOC EOF/FTM MSDH/DRH/DA Claiborne County Criterion 2.a.1: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides. (NUREG-0654, J.10.e, f, K.4)

Dose limits for emergency workers are pre-determined within the scenario.

Only when authorized by the State Health Officer with concurrence of City and County elected officials, should any emergency worker be allowed to receive doses or be exposed to concentrations of radioactivity which could result in doses greater than those allowed for the general public. If it becomes necessary for an emergency worker to be exposed to levels exceeding those specified for emergency workers in Annex E, Appendix 1, 2, i.e. for lifesaving activities, the individuals' decision will be made on a voluntary basis. The staff at county EOCs and the SEOC will discuss the processes with evaluators during in-sequence and/or OOS activities.

Appendix C: Extent of Play Agreements 2011 GGNS REP Exercise 60

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise Appendix D: Scenario Scenario Summary The scenario has been prepared to test the effectiveness of the emergency response organization (ERO) and functions of the Emergency Plan, implementing procedures, facilities, and equipment. Some events that occur during this drill are unrealistic and may not be strictly in accordance with the design basis of the Facility.

Summary To exercise the ERO, the goal of the scenario is to uncover the core and provide a path for a radiological release outside containment to the environment. To uncover the core to obtain clad damage, the ECCS systems and normal injection systems must be disabled. A path for radiological release to the environment is required to exercise the ERO fully.

The scenario starts at 0800 in a Division II work week. Workers staging to work (voltage readings) on 16AB inadvertently cause 152-1614 (ESF21 Feed to DIV 2 Bus) to open which de-energizes the bus. The Div II diesel generator auto starts and re-energizes 16AB. A malfunction of the voltage regulator causes a bus fault and resulting fire in 16AB. The fire brigade responds (simulated) and extinguishes the fire. The damage to the switchgear is extensive and it will not be restored for the duration of the scenario. All Division II components are lost. Before 0815 an Alert should be declared on HA4, fire or explosion affecting the operability of plant safety systems required to establish or maintain safe shutdown. Offsite notifications will be made and the ERO will be augmented using the paging system.

At approximately 0915, two condensate pumps trip offline; one due to an electrical short, another due to a sheared shaft when the first pump trips. This results in a loss of RPV injection with condensate and feedwater. The reactor will scram and the associated initiations and isolations occur. As level lowers RCIC and HPCS should auto initiate on reactor water level 2 (-41.6).

At approximately 0940, a RCIC steam leak will occur in the main steam tunnel downstream of the outboard isolation valve. The isolation temperature will be reached. However, both the inboard (E51-F063) and outboard (E51-F064) isolation valves will fail to close. When the main steam tunnel temperature reaches 185ºF, the Emergency Action Level (EAL) condition for the potential loss (RC3 Potential Loss) of the RCS barrier is met. The failure of both RCIC isolation valves to close leaving a downstream pathway to the environment meets the condition for loss of the primary containment barrier (PC3 Actual Loss). The loss or potential loss of two barriers meets the condition for a Site Area Emergency FS1. The SAE will be declared approximately 0955. A protected area evacuation will be directed.

A reactor coolant leak in the drywell will occur on the RWCU bottom head drain resulting in a drywell high pressure 1.39 psig signal (RC1 Actual Loss). Emergency depressurization should be required due to exceeding the max safe operating temperature in the RCIC room (212º). The high pressure core spray pump will trip shortly after starting and the LPCS and RHR A injection valves fail to open after RPV pressure is lowered. Level will continue to lower.

At approximately 1045, RPV level will lower to <-167. This is a potential loss (FC2) of the fuel clad and conditions for a General Emergency are met. The GE will be declared and PAR Appendix D: Scenario 20111 GGNS REP Exercise 61

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

AAR 2011 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station REP Exercise recommended. A rise in release rate will occur when the core is initially uncovered. As water level continues to fall more fuel damage will occur resulting in a rise release rate.

At approximately 1145 the TSC and OSC teams will successfully isolate the RWCU leak, begin recovering injection sources, and raising RPV water level.

The RCIC leak will be secured around 1230 resulting in a decline in radiological release rate.

Radiological release rates will fall to near background levels around 1300. At approximately 1400, the simulator will be placed in FREEZE and the players will begin a self-critique and the exercise will be terminated.
