- 2. I ntrod uction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHSIFEMA'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. The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHS/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.
DHS/FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:
Taking the lead in off-site emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993) and Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process: - U.S. Department of Agriculture; - U.S. Department of Energy; - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; - U.S. Department of the Interior; - U.S. Department of Transportation; 3
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; - U.S. Food and Drug Administration and - US. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHSIFEMA Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA. Formal submission of the RERPs for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station to FEMA Region V Office by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred March 31, 1981. Formal approval of the RERP for the State of Illinois was granted by FEMA on October 14, 1982, under 44 CFR 350. A REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on March 21 I 2007, by DHS to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team. Final determinations were made by the DHS/FEMA RAC Chairman, and approved by DHS/FEMA Headquarters.
The criteria utilized in the DHSIFEMA evaluation process are contained in:
NUREG-06541FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991 and F E MA " Rad io I og i ca I Em erg en cy P re pa red ness : Ex e r ci se Eva I u a t i on Method o I og y ; Notice" as published in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.Section I I1 of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview", presents basic information and 4

- 3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the March 21, 2007, REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 1 O-mile Emergency Planning Zone and a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
3.1. EPZ Description The Dresden Nuclear Power Station is located on 953 rolling prairie acres in northeast Grundy County on the southern bank of the Illinois River.
The topography of the site and its immediate environs is relatively flat, with elevations varying from 509 to 523 feet above sea level. The only significant topographic deviations in the area around the Dresden Station are the Kankakee Bluffs, 591 to 624 feet high, located just northeast of the site.
Portions of the site owned by Exelon Nuclear Corporation are leased for cattle grazing and field crops. Approximately 150 acres are used for grazing. Field crop cultivation occupies about another 300 acres. Recreational activity is in the form of hunting during legally prescribed seasons, with entry controlled by the agricultural lessee. The Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station consists of a circle with the Dresden Station as the center point. The EPZ extends 10 miles outward in all directions from the Dresden Station for the plume exposure pathway planning zone and 50 miles outward for the ingestion exposure pathway planning zone.
In the event of a serious accident at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, the plume exposure EPZ will be the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation.
This EPZ includes the following counties and municipalities: Grundy County (Illinois), and the municipalities of Carbon Hill, Coal City, Diamond, Minooka, and Morris; Will County (Illinois), and the entire municipalities of Braidwood, Channahon, Elwood, and Wilmington, portions of the municipalities of Joliet and Shorewood, and a small portion of Kendall County (Illinois). The plume EPZ is divided into a total of 16 sub-areas.
6 The population distribution in the 1 O-mile EPZ surrounding the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is relatively low. The 2000 census population for the 10-mile EPZ is divided as follows: Braceville - population 792 located nine miles South from the site; Braidwood - polulation 5203 located seven miles South Southeast from the site; Carbon Hill - population 392 located three miles South Southeast from the site; Channahon - population 7344 located seven miles Northeast from the site; Coal City - population 4797 located seven miles South from the site; Diamond - population 1393 located eight miles South from the site; Elwood - population 1620 located miles miles East from the site; Minooka - population 3971 located four miles North of the site; Morris - population 1 1928 located eight miles West of the site; and Wilmington - population 51 34 located nine miles Southeast of the site. The majority of the populations for the following jursdictions reside outside of the ten mile EPZ:
Joliet - population 106221 located four miles Northeast from the site and Shorewood - population 7686 located nine miles North Northwest of the site. Outside of the Station's boundaries there is a substantial amount of industry.
Adjacent to the southern boundary of the Station is the Away-From-Reactor Operations Spent Fuel Storage Facility. Four miles southeast of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is the former Joliet Arsenal (36,000 acres), which now is comprised of two industrial areas: 9,000 acres for a national cemetery; and 23,000 acres for the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie. The Army is retaining the use of 4,000 acres. Within the EPZ of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station there are industrial plants, chemical production facilities, petroleum refining industries, warehousing, dry dock facilities and transportation equipment industries The majority of the remaining area in the Dresden Nuclear Power Station EPZ is used for agriculture, predominately cash grain production.
South of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is approximately twenty-seven (27) square miles of recreational and residential land. The EPZ also contains four state parks and a conservation area. These areas are served by various forms of transportation. Interstate Highway 80 passes five miles to the north of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, and Interstate Highway 55 passes four miles to the east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. The Illinois, Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers flow near the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. Several railroads operate on tracks running near the Dresden Nuclear Power Station EPZ, including, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company and Amtrak which is four (4) miles east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station; the Elgin, the 7 Joliet and Eastern Railroad which is one and one-half (1 Yz) miles west of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station; the CSX Transportation Inc., which is four (4) miles northwest of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station; and the Union Pacific Railroad Company, which is seven (7) miles east of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. 3.2.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria 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 criteria 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 criteria 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 criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) they were not demonstrated.
Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.
Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCA remains unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that maybe discussed in this report. A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency 16 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." DHSlFEMA 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 Regional Offices and site-specific exercise reports within each Field Office.
It also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis. The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-). Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number, corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Code. Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted Criterion Number - An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice, Vol. 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. Planning Issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the Regional Director. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Planning Issues. Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: Participants established and maintained contact with technical counterparts, reviewed calculation procedures and resources in the period following the Alert ECL and prior to degradation of plant conditions and continually updated calculations.
The REAC Manager's efficient processing of information supported timely and accurate protective action decisions.
Examples of efficient processing included the issuance of a State PAR to evacuate sub-area 6 within approximately 10 minutes of receipt of the original NARS form from the Utility, and independent verification of the KI PAR to determine that the release characterization did not warrant recommending KI, also within approximately 10 minutes. 18

5.b.l. ISSUE NO.: 20-07-5bl-A-1 ISSUE: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. (NUREG-0654, E.5., 7., G.3.a, G.4.a.b.c)
CONDITION:
During the County Board Chair's first media briefing at 1318 hours0.0153 days <br />0.366 hours <br />0.00218 weeks <br />5.01499e-4 months <br />, media were informed that a State Livestock Advisory was in effect and that farmers should place their animals on stored feed and protected water. A news release received from the JIC several hours earlier at 1026 hours0.0119 days <br />0.285 hours <br />0.0017 weeks <br />3.90393e-4 months <br /> instructed local authorities to discontinue the advisory if an evacuation PAR was subsequently issued. At 1245 hours0.0144 days <br />0.346 hours <br />0.00206 weeks <br />4.737225e-4 months <br />, the Board Chair decided to evacuate Sub-area 6 in Kendall County, and an evacuation PAR was broadcast (simulated) via EBS Station WSPY at 1252 hours0.0145 days <br />0.348 hours <br />0.00207 weeks <br />4.76386e-4 months <br />.
County authorities did not instruct EAS station WSPY to discontinue the Livestock Advisory for Kendall County, as directed by the earlier instructions received from the JIC. POSSIBLE CAUSE: During the first media briefing, the County Board representative referred to actions being taken under the State Livestock Advisory but inadvertently failed to state that under this advisory local authorities would terminate the advisory upon issuing an evacuation PAR.
REFERENCE:
E.5., E.7., G.3.a, and G.4.c 26 EFFECT: Information provided during the media briefing could have caused confusion for livestock farmers by directing them to simultaneously evacuate and tend to their livestock, thus delaying evacuation of those individuals and putting them at risk. CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED:
At 1420 hours0.0164 days <br />0.394 hours <br />0.00235 weeks <br />5.4031e-4 months <br />, the Controller conducted on-the-spot training for key County officials (County Board Chair.
PI0 and EMC) involved in protective action decision-rnaking and providing emergency information to the public and the media. The substance of the issue was described and discussed, and the appropriate actions to be taken were identified. Following the training session, Kendall County officials successfully re-demonstrated this criterion by conducting a follow-up media briefing, during which mock media representatives were informed that the statement about the State Livestock Advisory provided during the first briefing was for informational purposes, and that the intention was for all citizens to immediately evacuate Sub-Area
- 6. She emphasized the State Livestock Advisory was no longer in effect and that farmers, as well as other members of the public, should evacuate immediately. c. DEFICIENCY:
