Dear Mr. McCree:

Enclosed is a copy of the final exercise report for the June 13, 2012, plume and ingestion exposure pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans site-specific to the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness for the State of Florida and Martin, St. Lucie, Brevard, Indian River and Palm Beach Counties.This successful exercise demonstrated the State and counties' commitment to public health and safety. The federal evaluation team did not identify any Areas Requiring Corrective Action or Deficiencies during the exercise.

This report was prepared by the FEMA Region IV Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP) staff.Based on the results of the June 13, 2012, exercise and our review of Florida's 2011 Annual Letter of Certification, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and procedures for the State of Florida and the appropriate local jurisdictions site-specific to the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. Therefore, the Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness site-specific to the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant granted on February 14, 1984, will remain in effect.

The evaluation of out of sequence activities during the week of April 23, 2012 is included in this report. The activities included:

traffic control points; reception and congregate care centers; -emergency worker and vehicle monitoring and decontamination.

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 FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.

The previous federally evaluated exercise was conducted on February 24, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on October 20 and 21, 1980.Officials and representatives from the State of Florida; the risk counties of St Lucie and Martin;the host counties of Brevard, Indian River and Palm Beach; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region II; and Florida Power and Light as well as numerous volunteers participated in this exercise.

The cooperation and teamwork of the participants was evident throughout all phases of the exercise.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated and made the exercise a success.State and counties demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. FEMA did not identify any Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during this exercise.

The strength of the working relationships between the various State and local first responder agencies in their mission planning and execution abilities throughout all phases of the exercise was obvious.Executive Summary 2012 SLNAREP Exercise 3 I Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)2012 St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant REP Exercise AAR I I This Page Is Intentionally Blank* 2012 SLN REP Exercise 4 Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)AAR 2012 St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant REP Exercise Section 1: Exercise Overview 1.1 Exercise Details Exercise Name 2012 SLN REP Evaluated Exercise Type of Exercise Full-Scale Exercise Exercise Out of Sequence/Off Scenario Dates April 23 to 27, 2012 Exercise Date June 13, 2012 Locations See App. C for a complete listing of locations of supported exercise activities.

The fire is extinguished at 0800 with reports of significant damage to the 2A Emergency Diesel Generator.

At 0805, an Alert is declared due to a fire affecting operability of plant systems required to establish or maintain safe shutdown.At 0910, there are indications of a steam leak from 2A Main Steam Line. Operations personnel commence powering down the unit. At 0940, a reactor trip occurs due to a sheared shaft on 2A2 Reactor Coolant Pump. The Loose Parts Monitor alarms, indicating parts within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS).At 1005, there are indications of a Steam Generator Tube Rupture on 2A Steam I Generator.

A minor radioactive release to the environment occurs due to the existing steam leak. A Site Area Emergency is declared at 1020 due to loss of RCS and loss of primary containment barrier.At 1040, the steam line leak increases followed by an indication of increased radioactivity levels in the RCS. Plant personnel verify increasing RCS sample line dose rates due to cladding failure. A General Emergency is declared at 1115 due to loss of Section 2: Exeroise Design Summary 2012,SLN REP Exercise U 12 Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)2012 St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant REP Exercise AAR RCS, loss of primary containment barrier, and loss of clad barrier. The plant condition PAR is to shelter the 2-mile radius and 5 miles downwind (sectors N, P and Q). Licensee dose assessment results indicate recommendations for evacuation of the 2 mile radius and sheltering the 5-mile downwind sectors of N, P and Q. Dependent on the timing of the General Emergency declaration and the dose assessment results, the plant condition PAR may come before the dose assessment PAR. Operations personnel continue to cool down and depressurize the RCS. The exercise is terminated at 1300.Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2012 SLN REP Exercise 13 Homeland, Security Exercise and.

Florida has a robust Watch Office that receives calls from the nuclear plant and effectively activates the staff according to leadership's order. Florida has a mailing list that rapidly broadcasts information and instructions to the FLDEM senior staff and the State agency responders.

This capability was demonstrated during the exercise.The SERT Chief effectively managed the State's response to the simulated emergency at the SLN, as well as dealt with real world situations that affected the State of Florida. The SERT Chief kept the SEOC staff informed of the ongoing situation through briefings and talking with staff members individually.

The SEOC remained in control of the situation until the State Management Team (SMT) arrived at the SLN's Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and was ready to assume direction and control of the incident.

The SERT Chief transferred direction and control to the SMT at 0952. Once command and control was transferred the SEOC maintained its staffing to support the requests from the SMT and the counties.

The SERT Chief kept situational awareness by participating in regular conference calls with the SMT, the Counties and the Utility. The SERT Chief made good use of the utility liaison in the SEOC by having him brief the leadership group and staff on the evolving situation at the plant. He also reminded SEOC personnel to monitor EM Constellation to ensure that they responded to requests for assistance from the counties.Section 3:1 Analysis of Capabilities 2012 SLN REP Exercise 15 Homeland Security Exercise and, Evaluation Program (HSEEP)AAR .... : 2012 St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant REP Exercise For this capability the following REP criteria were met: 1.a. 1, 1.c. 1, l.d. 1, I.e. 1, 3.a. 1, 3.d. I and 3.d.2 Emergency Public Information

& Warning Capability Summary: 1 ESF 14 -External Affairs managed the public information program from the SEOC until the Emergency News Center (ENC) became activated.

Once they became activated ESF 14 became a support function for the Public Information Officer (PIO) at the ENC. ESF 14 managed the information provided to the Florida Emergency Information Line (FEIL)and kept their Facebook and Twitter pages up-to-date with relevant, approved information.

The SEOC also activates a legislative information line for State legislators to call for information about the emergency.

For this capability the following REP criterion was met: 5.b. 1 3.2.1.2 State Bureau of Radiation Control (Dose, Field Teams and Mobile Lab)HazMat Response and Decontamination Capability Summary: This capability was successfully demonstrated by Florida Department of Health, Bureau 3 of Radiation Control (BRC) staff at the EOF, at the Mobile Emergency Radiological Laboratory (MERL), and on three Field Teams (FT). In accordance with the extent-of-play agreement (EOPA), three FTs were pre-positioned with the MERL at the St. Lucie County EOC, and other BRC staff were pre-positioned near the EOF.FT equipment and supplies were adequate to support radiological monitoring functions, and instruments were operationally checked prior to deployment.

Two communications systems were available, tested, and verified operational.

The Field Team Supervisor (FTS) at the MERL gave a thorough radiological briefing to all FT members and I dispatched the FTs to downwind sectors. The FTS subsequently turned over control of the FIs to the BRC Field Team Directors (FTD) at the EOF.The FTs demonstrated:

a Procedures for Field Hazard Assessment e Procedures for Field Monitoring and Sampling I* Procedures for communicating Field Measurements

• Knowledge of Dosimetry and Potassium Iodide (KI)The BRC Operations Officer at the EOF maintained overall direction and control of the BRC response effort. He also provided sound technical advice and recommendations to the Governor Authorized Representative (GAR) and other decision makers. Dose Assessment Specialists-(DAS) properly performed independent accident analyses and compared their results to FT measurements and SLN analyses.

When BRC dose projection differed from SLN dose projections, the DAS examined possible causes for the divergence of the results.Section 31 -Analysis of Capabilities 2012 SLN REP Exercise 16 Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)AAR 2012 St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant REP Exercise For this capability the following REP criteria were met: l.a. 1, l.c. 1, l.d. 1, L.e. 1, 2.a. 1, 2.b. 1, 2.b.2, 3.a. l, 3.b. 1, 4.a. 1, 4.a.2 and 4.a.3 3.2.2 Joint Operations 3.2.2.1 Emergency Operations Facility (SMT and Risk Counties)Emergency Operations Center Management Capability Summary: The SLN risk counties each provide a designated decision maker (DM) to represent the county in the protective action decision (PAD) process coordinated within the utility's EOF. Generally this is the St Lucie County Public Safety Director and a Fire Department Chief Officer representing the Martin County Emergency Management Agency Director (EMAD). For this exercise Martin County designated a stand-in for the new Director so she could oversee and become familiar with radiological emergency response activities.

The Martin County DM arrived at the EOF following the utility's declaration of emergency classification level (ECL) Alert; the St Lucie County DM arrived after the declaration of ECL site area emergency (SAE). These arrivals were in accordance with procedures.

Upon arrival in the EOF the DM each updated the utility's Recovery Manager (RM) on county activities and conversely received an update on plant status.They then provided the plant information to their respective EOC.The State of Florida deploys a forward asset to the EOF at the ECL Alert to support local government and to coordinate state and federal resources.

Alert and notification of the State Management Team (SMT) was evaluated real time, due to the distance between the State of Florida EOC in Tallahassee and the SLN the deployment of the SMT was simulated.
