A&-ftChaibl&e-Tucker 3093 Cwr, a 304 Raad FEMA January 14, 2013 Victor M. McCree, Regional Administrator - RII Nuclear Regulatory Commission One Marquis Tower 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, Suite 1200 Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. McCree:

Enclosed is a copy of the Final After Action Report (AAR) for the September 18, 2012 full participation exposure pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans, site-specific to the Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS). This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness for the State of South Carolina and affected local governments. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV staff prepared the final after action report.

Copies of this report will be forwarded by my staff to the State of South Carolina, FEMA Headquarters and NRC Headquarters.

The ONS 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) encompasses parts of Oconee and Pickens County. Greenville and Anderson County are the Host Counties. South Carolina recently transitioned from conducting joint information operations at the Duke Joint Information Center (JIC), to a Joint Information System (JIS) at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). The JIS worked well and the South Carolina Emergency Management Division staff worked hard to ensure that each location was kept informed of the latest developments and decisions. The information provided to the media was accurate and timely. In addition, Clemson University increased its participation in the exercise by activating an EOC as well as having representatives at the Pickens County EOC and the JIC in Clemson.

No Deficiencies were identified during this exercise; however, one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) was identified. The ARCA, which was corrected immediately through re-training and re-demonstration, concerned the ability of Anderson County emergency workers to properly set up and conduct operational/source checks on the portal monitor prior to monitoring evacuees.

Based on the results of the exercise and FEMA's review of South Carolina's 2011 Annual Letter of Certification, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of South Carolina and the affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the Oconee Nuclear Station, emergency response plans 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. The Title 44 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of South Carolina site-specific to Oconee Nuclear Station Plant granted for South Carolina on June 9, 1987, will remain in effect.

Should you have questions, please contact Conrad Burnside at the Atlanta Regional Office at 770/220-5486.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On September 18, 2012 the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IV Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) for the Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS). ONS is located in eastern Oconee County, approximately eight miles northeast of Seneca, South Carolina and is operated by Duke Energy. The ONS EPZ is divided into 13 emergency response sub zones. The 10 mile EPZ encompasses parts of Oconee and Pickens Counties, including Clemson University. The population of the EPZ is approximately 75,090.

During the planning for the exercise, FEMA and the State of South Carolina agreed to explore the development of a Joint Information System, which more accurately reflects the way South Carolina does business for other real world events. FEMA is also encouraged by the increased interest by Clemson University in participating in the REP exercises. In addition to their usual representative at Pickens County emergency operations center (EOC), Clemson also activated their EOC and sent a representative to the Joint Information Center in Clemson.

FEMA's overall objective of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency at ONS. This exercise was conducted in accordance with FEMA's 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 August 3, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted March 10 and 1I, 1982.

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 developed to meet the REP program requirements, based on the negotiated Extent of Play Agreement (EOPA) were as follows:

Objective 1: Demonstrate the ability to provide Emergency Operations Center management including Direction and Control through the Counties' and State Emergency Operations Centers.

3

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

H After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station 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 Prompt Alert and Notification System utilizing the PNS/Emergency Alert System (EAS) through exercise play.

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

State and local emergency response organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency I response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them. FEMA identified one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) during the exercise. The ARCA concerned the failure by emergency workers in Anderson County to properly set up and test the portal monitor prior to monitoring evacuees. After ad-hoc training on the source check of all theportal monitor sensors, the Anderson County Emergency Workers (EWs) were able to successfully demonstrate the set up and use the portal monitor, thereby correcting the identified ARCA.

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The Departmentof Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (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.forymthe 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 (RERPs) 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, affected 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 and staff assistance visit enables FEMA to provide a statement with the transmission of this final After Action Report (AAR) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the affected 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 Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) to FEMA by the State of South Carolina occurred on May 7, 1983. Formal approval of the State of South Carolina's RERP was granted on February 23, 1983, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP exercise was evaluated on September 18, 2012, and included evaluations of the out-of sequence activities held during the week of August 13, 2012.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station 2.3 Scenario Summary Scenario:

Unit IA Reactor Building spray pump is operating in the borated water storage tank (BWST) recirculation mode for periodic sampling. The pump trips requiring operations to restore the lineup and investigate the reason for the pump trip. A Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) occurs, with reactor coolant leakage exceeding 200 gallons per minute (gpm). Subsequently, the reactor building cooling unit (RBCU) fans fail to restart following an ES actuation. Conditions exist requiring an Alert classification per emergency alert level (EAL) 4.1 .A. 1, Loss of reactor coolant system (RCS). Follow-up notifications to offsite agencies are required in addition to activation of Emergency Response Data, System (ERDS) and site assembly. Containment pressure continues to increase causing an Emergency Shutdown (ES) actuation at greater than 10 psi. The Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operational Support Center (OSC)'facilities are activated after taking turnover from the Control Room Emergency Coordinator. As containment radiation levels increase, conditions exist to-require a classification upgrade to SITE AREA EMERGENCY (SAE) per EAL 4.1.S. 1, Loss'of any, two'barriers. Notification of offsite agencies is performed. As the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is staffed, turnover is completed and the EOF is declared activated. A containment purge system breach occurs resulting in a sudden pressure decrease in the containment. At this time, conditions exist for a GENERAL EMERGENCY (GE) per EAL 4.1 .G.2, Loss of all: three barriers. Subsequently, the I B reactor building spray (RBS) pump trips resulting 'in a loss of reactor building spray.

Protective Action Recommendations (PARS) are determined and notifications complete& Dose projections indicate additional PARs requiring a potassium iodide (KI) decision. The scenario will continue until all objectives are tested.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station 3.3 Criteria Evaluation Summaries 3.3.1 South Carolina Jurisdictions 3.3.1.1 State of South Carolina Emergency Operations Center Management:

Representatives from various State agencies working in the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) successfully demonstrated their ability to coordinate the State response to the simulated emergency at the ONS. After ONS's initial notification to the State Warning Point (SWP), the SEOC staff was mobilized and the EOC activated. In accordance with the Extent of Play Agreement (EOPA), the staff was prepositioned outside of the EOC prior to mobilization. State Warning Point personnel were prepared and knowledgeable of their duties and responsibilities.

They had primary and backup means of communications. The Chief of Operations maintained direction and control of emergency response activities for the State and led numerous coordination meetings with the South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD)

Director, the staff and the risk counties using a conference bridge line. PARs were discussed in detail with staff and counties, to include the decision by the Director to classify the event as a "Fast Breaker" granting additional control to the counties. Concurrence was reached among all parties for Protective Action Decisions (PADs). The SEOC was well equipped and had sufficient space to support emergency response. State agency offices were well marked, easily identifiable, and sufficient to support all assigned duties. The Chief of Operations and his staff were knowledgeable and competent and acted within the scope of plans and procedures.

SCEMD and Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) provided liaisons to the Duke Energy EOF in Charlotte, NC. The presence of State liaisons in the EOF enhanced the flow of information between the utility and the OROs and provided opportunities for expanded discussions of plant conditions, dose projections, utility recommendations, and offsite response organization (ORO) protective actions. The SCEMD and DHEC liaisons followed applicable procedures and performed their respective duties in an efficient and professional manner.

Emergency Public Information and Warning:

15

Unclassified I Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station The SEOC management and staff effectively demonstrated the ability to alert the public of an emergency at ONS and provide timely and accurate information and instructions as the situation evolved. The SCEMD Public Information Director (PID) and the SEOC operations staff worked together to alert and notify the public through the coordinated sounding of sirens and broadcast of accurate EAS messages throughout the I0-mile EPZ in a timely. manner. Prior to escalating ECLs, the PID sent a test message by e-mail to the Local Primary (LP-1) station and telephonically confirmed receipt and follow-on procedures with the station manager. The alert and notification system was activated twice during the exercise. The first was to alert the public that an incident was.occurring at ONS, and-the.second-was to alert the public of the need to' evacuate or shelter in designated geographical zones. Only the, first message was sent to the LP-I station and actions to simulate a broadcast were demonstrated. These EAS messages were supplemented by seven emergency information messages that provided further guidance to the public. In the case of both EAS and emergency news releases, the PID and staff used pre-scripted templates to develop their message. The PID further coordinated with the State Joint l Information Center to ensure that consistent and timely information was 'provided in media' briefings and updates. The actions of the. SEOC staff were. in consonance with established State plans and procedures.

Hazardous Materials Response:

Representatives from DHEC successfully demonstrated the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a radiological release from ONS. DHEC personnel were located at the SEOC, the Mobile Operations Center (MOC) and as members of the radiological field monitoring teams (FMTs). They demonstrated, the ability to calculate dose projections based on information from the licensee and include data from their field teams. They were capableof testing and identifying all likely radiological substances offsite; ensuring that responders had appropriate protective clothing and equipment; conducting surveys of suspected sources or contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters; and :notifying environmental, health, and law.,

enforcement agencies.

At the SEOC, the Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) was in charge of the DHEC group with the Dose Assessment Coordinator (DAC) leading the dose assessment group. Both Coordinators demonstrated effective leadership and delegated tasks appropriately. The ERC and dose assessment staff performed dose projections and made PARs based'on data from the ONS Emergency Notification Forms. Early precautionary actions were recommended by the ERC.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station The Dose Assessment Coordinator completed timely dose assessment functions and compared results with licensee dose projections and field team results. Dose assessment capabilities were demonstrated using the Radiological Assessment System for Consequence Analysis (RASCAL).

4.2 program. The DHEC team effectively characterized and quantified the radiological plume.

Protective actions and KI recommendations were commensurate with dose projections and meteorological data.

DHEC deployed two FMTs to. gather data used to manage the consequences of the radiological release. Teams were provided with appropriate equipment, including personnel protection equipment, and supplies. Their ability to communicate with the MOC was tested and verified operational. Survey equipment was both operationally checked and source checked properly before deployment into the field.

The FMTs were given a radiological briefing by theField Team Director (FTD) and the MOC Operations Section Chief prior to,deployment. Teams were provided personnel protection equipment, instructed to monitor their radiationexposure and gather ambient radiation measurements and environmental field samples. Teams were provided potassium iodide (KI),

were knowledgeable of its use, and ingested KI when advised to do so by the MOC. The Operations Section Chief (OSC) successfully managed the MOC and field team staff's response to the simulated event. The OSC was proactive in his deployment and movement of field teams to characterize the plume while keeping their safety as a top priority.

FMTs took ambient radiation measurements, air samples, soil, and vegetation samples as directed by the Field Team Director (FTD).. Exposure was recorded, tracked, and transmitted to the MOC. Field data was provided to dose assessment personnel in a timely manner to aide in characterizing the boundaries of the plume. Appropriate contamination controls were demonstrated during monitoring and sampling activities. Samples .were transferred to a relay team for transport to the (simulated) mobile laboratory. Field team members demonstrated the.

ability to obtain measurements and samples in order to properly track and assess the plume..

After Action Report/improvement Plan Oconec Nuclear Station Emergency Public Information and Warning:

The Emergency Public Information and Warning Capability were successfully demonstrated-during the exercise. The primary system to alert and warn the resident of Pickens County was the siren system coupled with the activation of EAS; Duke Energy installed 28 sirens within the 10 mile EPZ. In coordination with SCEMD and Oconee County the EMD would activate the siren system. In the event of.a siren failure the EMD would task the Fire Rescue at the EOC with the coordination of backup route alerting...

EAS messages were generated by the SCEMD PIO and they are faxed or emailed to the EAS..

station for transmittal. News releases were generated by the.county P1O approved by the EMD and emailed or faxed to the local news media or to the JIC if it was activated.

News releases contained accurate and approved information, consistent with precautionary and protective action decisions .discussed in the EOC;; they also contained specific addresses for.

reception centers, evacuation routes and specific telephone numbers for more information. All.

releases were faxed and emailed to the appropriate ýnews media for immediate release.

Public inquiry was'maintained by the PlO at.the.EOC. The Public Inquiry telephone was located in the EOC. at the PTO's work station, and the telephone could handle only one call at a time. -

The PIO was very familiar with fielding inquiries from the general public. She-was capable of providing accurate and timely information to the public. She received thirteen inquiries, provided a proper response and advised -theJIC PTO and EOC of the calls.

Citizen Evacuation/Shelter in Place:

Six public schools and one private school (3,793 student's total) were located in the 10-mile EPZ, they would be evacuated by school bus. and available privately owned vehicles. Adequate school buses to transport students from each schoolwould be dispatched to the schools from,.

Pickens, Daniel, Liberty and Easley Bus Operations Department. All buses were equipped withi 800MHz portable radios and the drivers of the lead buses were equipped with a PRD and a DRD.

On September 11, 2012 principals of.Central Elementary School and Clemson Elementary School, School District Pickens County (SDPC) Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, SDPC Transportation and a bus driver were interviewed. All individuals were well conversant with 21

Pickens County Schools have sufficient buses to relocate their students in a timely manner and the host sites are prepared to accept the relocating students and assist in their supervision and eventual release to parents/guardians. Staff and faculty have specific functions and these are addressed during annual scheduled school drills and evacuation/relocation exercises. All interviewed were knowledgeable and demonstrated a professional and caring demeanor.

Public Safety and Security Response:

The South Carolina State Highway Patrol (SCHP) representative demonstrated the knowledge regarding activation and communication capabilities, equipment including dosimetry and KI, and how the four pre-identified traffic control points (TCPs) in Pickens .County Would be implemented. He was aware of how dosimetry wouldbe used, what exposure limits were in I place: for him as an emergency. worker, when and how to record the dosimetry readings, and what to do at each exposure limit. He had KI. (simulated) with written instructions and was aware of it use, limitations, and possible side effects. Using the Standard Operating Guidelines he knew who would activate the TCP and when this would take place..

The SCHP Officers knew that should an impediment to evacuation be identified, either by an officer or a report from a citizen, adequate resources would most .likely be available through law enforcement dispatch which contacts the Department of Transportation or the wrecker services in the area. 3 Hazardous Materials Response: 3 A medical service drill (MSD) conducted on August 31,.2012, and an emergency worker decontamination station (EWD) evaluated on September 17, 2012, were used by Pickens County to demonstrate the hazardous materials response capability. The emergency response staff demonstrated how they identified radiological contamination, followed their procedures to 3 prevent cross contamination and conducted decontamination of a contaminated individual. The staff involved included members from the Pickens County Emergency Medical Service (PCEMS), Cannon Memorial Hospital (CMH), Pickens County Hazardous Materials Response Unit, Easley Fire Department, Pickens Fire Department, Central Fire Department, Rescue Units 6 and 7, and Pickens County Emergency Management.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Oconee Nuclear Station During the MSD, PCEMS received the call for assistance, utilized the appropriate contamination control procedures for the EMS crew and the accident victim, and provided necessary medical care at the site of the accident. CMH was made aware of the arrival of the contaminated patient by PCEMS in a timely manner, improving CMH staffs' ability properly receive the patient..

Appropriate communication and exposure controls.were maintained throughout the demonstration. CMH staff seamlessly received the patient from PCEMS in the Radiological-.

Control Zone (RCZ) and used appropriate procedures to decontaminate the patient and prevent additional contamination, to include contacting REAC/TS for additional support. In addition, PCEMS and CMH staffs were knowledgeable on proper use of survey equipment and dosimetry, as well as proper wear and removal of PPE..

At the EWD station, Pickens County emergency worker's worked effectively as a team. They were well organized and demonstrated a so1id'understanding of the Ludlum Model 3 operability check, dosimetry and the EWD process as a whole. Although their procedures stated that the.

survey of the individual should take 90:seconds; the monitors took approximately 5 minutes to fully survey the potentially contaminated emergency worker, which matches other State and Federal guidance. The EWD team utilized job aids to assist them through the monitoring and.

A secured contaminated vehicle area was located adjacent to these stations. Water was provided by two, fire trucks and a nearby fire hydrant. Additional personnel- were on standby if necessary.

The EWs did not properly set up the portal monitor. After on the spot corrective training, they I were able to correct their mistakes and demonstrate a properly operating portal monitor. Each evacuee was monitored, and their personal information and monitoring results recorded for them to carry to either the reception center if clean or to the decontamination area if contaminated.

The evacuee decontamination station was efficiently set up for decontamination activities.

Separate male and female showers where available for decontaminating evacuees. Proper equipment, such as trash bags, soap, shampoo andsponges were all available on site and personal items properly marked and controlled. EWs used proper techniques and where knowledgeable on contamination limits. Equipment operational checks were conducted in accordance with plans.

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, one ARCA was identified.

1. (42-12-6A1-A-01) Monitoring, Decontamination, and Registration of Evacuees: Ludlum 52 portal monitor operators failed to correctly conduct the instrument operational check in accordance to procedures and available references.

This ARCA was successfully re-demonstrated after review of proper procedures for placing the monitor in service.
