1. Executive Summary On August 18 and 19, 2009, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume and Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ) around the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The purpose of this exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise at this site was conducted on November 6, 2007. The most recent REP Full Participation Plume and Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise at this site was conducted on November 18 and 19, 2003. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on January 7, 1981.

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

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

This Final Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:

Registration, and Vehicle Monitoring and Decontamination were demonstrated at Rogers High School; Medical Services (MS-1) demonstration involving transporting and caring for a potentially contaminated and injured individual at North Memorial Hospital;

1 Monitoring and Decontamination Center; District (Big Lake High School);

School District (District Office);

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

No Deficiencies were identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise.

There were four Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota, one of which was resolved after additional training was conducted, as documented in the Schedule of Corrective Actions letter from the State dated October 21, 2009, and one which was successfully re-demonstrated on October 19, 2009. There were two ARCAs identified for Wright County, one of which was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise. No ARCAs were identified for Sherburne County.

There were no previous ARCAs for the State of Minnesota, Wright and Sherburne Counties that were resolved.

The first ARCA for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 1.e.1 -

Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the thermoluminescent dosimeters utilized at the North Memorial Medical Center did not have an exchange date and there were no instructions on when the dosimeters needed to be exchanged. This ARCA remains unresolved.

The second ARCA for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 4.a.3 -

Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams must move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and /or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media, whereby the teams exhibited a lack of contamination control by failing to wear proper 2

protective equipment ( gloves). This ARCA was resolved after additional training was conducted, as documented in the Schedule of Corrective Actions letter from the State dated October 21, 2009.

The third ARCA for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 4.c.1 -

Laboratory is capable of performing required radiological analyses to support PADs, whereby results of laboratory isotopic analysis of samples counted in Marinelli beakers were not reliable, and there was no assurance in the quality and quantity of the isotopic concentrations. This ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated on October 19, 2009, which was completed within the 60 day timeframe requested by FEMA.

The fourth ARCA for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 6.d.1 - The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals, whereby The Model 3 survey meters were checked for operability using a Cs-137 check source attached to the case. The instruments were not operability checked using a specified range of readings for a particular source. This ARCA remains unresolved.

The first ARCA for Wright County was identified under Criterion 1.c.1 - Key personnel with functional roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible, whereby the Operations Chief (Nuclear Director) and other key EOC staff were not informed by staff that a decision to evacuate the County Jail population had been made. This ARCA remains unresolved.

The second ARCA for Wright County was identified under Criterion 1.e.1 - Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby during the operations check, DRDs were zeroed at the top of the scale, 200 mR rather than 0 mR. This ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMA's 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 FEMA's 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.

FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:

RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

the evaluation of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments;

to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and

emergency planning process:

4

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

Formal submission of the RERPs for the MNGP to FEMA Region V by the State of Minnesota and involved local jurisdictions occurred on February 1, 1983. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on May 10, 1985, under 44 CFR 350.

A Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume and Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on August 18 and 19, 2009, by DHS/FEMA Region V to assess the capabilities of State and local off-site emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the MNGP. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (ORO's) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.

The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980;

1991; and published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the August 18 and 19, 2009, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume and Ingestion Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and a description of the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway Zone (IPZ), a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of the actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

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

The 10-mile EPZ for the MNGP consists of a circle with the utility at the center point.

The EPZ extends 10-miles outward in all directions from the plant for the plume exposure pathway planning zone and 50 miles outward for the IPZ. In the event of a serious accident, the plume exposure-planning zone will be in the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. The population in the MNGP 10-mile EPZ is 64,184. This figure represents the permanent population in the municipalities and unincorporated areas located in the 10-mile EPZ.

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

7 The following Sub-Areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: Sub-Areas 2, 5N, 5E, 5S, 5W, 10N, 10E, 10SE, 10S, 10SW, 10W and 10NW.

The 50-mile IPZ for the MNGP has an estimated population of approximately 3,591,108 as of the year 2008. Approximately 90% reside in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. There are 22 counties in the 50-mile EPZ. They are: Anoka, Benton, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Ramsey, Renville, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Washington, and Wright. 3.2.

4.2. Status

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

  • Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
  • Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise objectives under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
  • Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criterion under which one or more ARCAs was assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
  • Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise objectives which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason they were not demonstrated.
  • Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Description of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises which were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.
  • Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Description of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises, which were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCAs remain unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

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

  • A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that 22 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 "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety." The DHS/FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among DHS/FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis. The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
  • Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Code.
  • Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
  • Criterion Number - A two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, No. 80 dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.
  • Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Plan Issues are reported to the State via a letter from the Regional Administrator. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Plan Issues.
  • Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 4.a.3.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-4a3-A-03 CRITERION: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected.

Teams must move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media. (NUREG-0654, I.8., 9., 11)

CONDITION: During the plume phase and the ingestion phase, there was a lack of contamination control. In the assembly and disassembly of the air monitoring sample head, no gloves were worn. This can lead to cross contamination between the particulate filter, the gaseous collection cartridge, and the environment around the vehicle, which had been in the plume as well. During the plume phase, the air monitoring collection head was disassembled and bagged with bare hands. During the ingestion phase, all the samples were collected without wearing gloves. Grass samples were held by the bare hands while being cut and put into the bag. The person collecting soil samples kneeled on the ground without using a plastic sheet or wearing gloves. At no time was State RAD Field Team #1 observed surveying themselves with the Canberra Model MCB-2 contamination survey meter.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Lack of adequate training or understanding by Field Team members of the importance of wearing gloves to limit potential contamination.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654 H.12, I.8, J.10,and J.11 EFFECT: Lack of proper contamination control in obtaining air samples as well as ingestion pathway samples can lead to invalid sample results and/or contamination of equipment.

27 c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f. CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Additional training has been provided to field team members as to the importance of contamination control and the importance of wearing the proper personal protective equipment.

Also during subsequent training held annually this issue will be stressed as to its importance.

Minnesota Department of Health State Public Health Laboratory MET: 1.a.1, 1.d.1, 1.e.1, 3.a.1, 4.c.1.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 4.c.1.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-4c1-A-06 CRITERION: Laboratory is capable of performing required radiological analyses to support PADs CONDITION: Results of laboratory isotopic analysis of samples counted in Marinelli beakers were not reliable, and there was no assurance in the quality and quantity of the isotopic concentrations.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Bagged samples were simply placed in the Marinelli beaker without regard to placement around the detector well within the Marinelli for efficiency or configuration. Additionally, the bagged cubic container sitting on top of the detector well in the Marinelli is not consistent with the geometry of the calibration source.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 C.3, J.11 30 c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f. EFFECT: Since there is no reproducible geometry and the sample geometry was not consistent with the calibration source, there can be no assurance in the quality and quantity of the analysis. In the configuration used, the concentration of the various isotopes would have been under estimated. This in turn would have underestimated the dose rates for determination of the Relocation Protective Action Guides and would have underestimated the concentrations for comparison to the Derived Intervention Levels for determining where food embargos should be placed.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: On October 19, 2009, the Minnesota Department of Health, Public Health Laboratory successfully re-demonstrated the preparation and analysis of environmental samples in a reproducible geometry consistent with calibration standards. Procedures have been modified to prepare and analyze samples consistent with calibration standards. Three Laboratory technicians have been trained in the corrected procedure.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-1e1-A-04 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: The Landauer TLD cards did not have an exchange date 33 specified and the Emergency Management Director did not know when they were last changed or when the next exchange date was due. Also there was not any reference available to specify when to exchange the TLDs.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: There was no exchange date on the TLDs and there were no instructions or indications on when the TLDs needed to be exchanged.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-654 H.7, 10: J.10.a, b, e: J.11; K.3.a EFFECT: The dose assigned to an emergency work from reading one of the TLDs may not be accurate.

RECOMMENDATION: Contact Landauer to find out when they were last exchanged, exchange the TLDs when due, formalize the exchange process in procedures, and track exchange dates.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: North Memorial Hospital will be updating procedures to ensure the proper thermoluminescent dosimeters have current exchange dates and instructions will be on hand at the hospital as to how to properly use and exchange the thermoluminescent dosimeters.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-6d1-A-05 CRITERION: Facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654, F.2., H.10., K.5.a.b., L.1., 4)

CONDITION: The Model 3 survey meters were checked for operability using a Cs-137 source attached to the case. They were only checked to see if they got a response - a response check. The instruments were not operability checked using a specified range of readings for a particular source.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Procedures only call for a response check - not an operability check with a specified source with a specific range of readings.

34 c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f.

REFERENCE:

F.2: H.10: K.5.a, b: L.1; L.4.

EFFECT: An instrument range of readings from a response to a specified source is typically provided to ensure proper operation of the instrument. If the instrument reads above or below the range, the instrument is not responding properly and is considered inoperable. Without a specified range of reading there can be no assurance the instrument is operating properly.

RECOMMENDATION: All instruments should have a specified response range for a particular source to ensure proper operability of the instrument.

Plans and procedures should be changed, and all personnel trained in the changes. SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Model 3 survey meters will have a range of reading sticker attached and training will be provided to the users of the Model 3 survey meters on how to properly do operational checks.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-1c1-A-01 CRITERION: Key personnel with functional roles for the ORO provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible.

CONDITION: The decision by the Jail Captain at 1246 hours0.0144 days <br />0.346 hours <br />0.00206 weeks <br />4.74103e-4 months <br /> to evacuate the 38 jail population was not coordinated with the EOC, and the Nuclear Director/Operations Chief did not become aware of the action until about 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br /> near the end of the exercise. Options for sheltering-in-place or evacuating were not considered, and the RADEF staff and Operations Chief were not consulted regarding appropriate actions.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Key players, including the Operations Chief and RADEF staff, were not included in decision-making for evacuation of the jailed population.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654: A.1.d; A.2.a, b EFFECT: EOC leadership was neither included in nor aware of protective actions being made regarding the jailed population.

RECOMMENDATION: The EOC staff should receive training and procedures should be improved relative to decision-making and operations involving protective actions.

SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Wright County has conducted additional training with its staff on the proper coordination and decision-making process on how to implement protective actions for the County Jail, which included a possible evacuation decision. This will be a point of emphasis during subsequent years of training within the county.

ISSUE NO.: 39-09-1e1-A-02 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.

CONDITION: During the operations check of dosimetry equipment, the Radiological Officer (RO) incorrectly zeroed the 0-200mR Model 622 Direct-Reading Dosimeters (DRDs) manufactured by Arrow-Tech INC. The DRDs were zeroed at the top of the scale vice the bottom of the scale; specifically 200mR. POSSIBLE CAUSE: The RO's lack of attention to detail resulted in the 39 c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.e.f.a.b.c.d.equipment being zeroed incorrectly.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654, H.7, 10; J.10 A, B, E; J.11; K.3.Q.

EFFECT: Radiation levels may not have been properly indicated, possibly resulting in contamination to emergency workers without their knowledge.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The controller was immediately notified of the inadequacy and play was stopped to conduct re-training to the RO from the controller. Upon completion of the retraining the RO was re-evaluated. He successfully demonstrated to the evaluator how to zero the DRDs.
