Dear Mr. Morris:

Enclosed is a copy of the Final After Action Report for .the December 3-4, 2019, plume and ingestion pathway exercise of the offsite radiological emergency response plans, site-specific to the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The participants in this exercise included various organizations from the State of Kansas and Coffey County. The report was prepared by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Region VII staff. The final report will be provided to the State of Kansas. Further exercise documentation and related materials are retained by FEMA Region VII, the office ofrecord for this exercise evaluation.

There were no Level 1 or Level 2 findings or planning issues identified during the exercise. There were no open Level 1 or Level 2 find.ings from previous exercises to be addressed.

Based on the results of this exercise, the offsite radiological response plans and preparedness for the State of Kansas and the affected locai jurisdictions, site-specific t~ the Wolf Creek Generating Station, can be impl~mented and are adequate to provide reasonabl~ 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 for the state of Kansas, site-specific to the Wolf Creek Generating Station, granted on April 4, 1989, will remain in effect.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the report, please contact Mr. Tom Morgan, Regional Assistance Committee Chair, at (816) 808-2756 or by email Thomas.Morgan5@fema.dhs.gov '

-0800 The exercise begins when* an ehrthquake is felt and annunciator 00-98D alarms. The ' '

epicenter was -60 miles SW of the plant, near Howard, KS with an estimated strength of ""5.9 Richter scale. This meets the conditions for a NOTICE OF UNUSUAUEVENT (HU2.15).:

-0820 There is a second earthquake resulting in an NB02 Lockout. The earthquake was measured at 6.1 _on the Richter scale, located about 4 miles southeast of Gridley, KS.

OFN SG-3 walkdowns reveal pipe deformation and a crack in the 'A' Containment Spray Header between EN HV -6 and the Containment Penetration. Plant walkdown also indicates some pipe deformation at the same location on the 'B' train.

-0820 Main Feed Regulating Valve (MFRV) 520 fails closed. Reactor does not initially trip and will not TRIP using SB HS-1 or 42 (ref SA 6.1). EMG FR-Sl is successful iri shutting down the reactor. RCS Activity begins to climb. Dose Equivalent Iodine (DEI) remains below 300 uCi / cc until at least 0920, in order to avoid escal.ating the classification. An ALERT (SA 6.16 or SA 9 .17) should be declared.

-0845 There is a report of a fire in northwest Coffey County. The fire starts from a baler southwest of 19th and Garner Lane. It rapidly spreads through the ground foliage and engages a .

wooded area. Ultimately, smoke from this fire obstructs 19th Road. The fire advances toward the northeast.

-0900 County dispatch receives reports that the fire has grown in size and that it is spreading across 19th road. The smoke is so thick that visibility on the road is significantly limited.

-0920 There is a loss ofthe Switchyard. The East and West 345kV buses experience faults.

There is a lock out when the Benton and the Rose Hill lines experience simultaneous insulator failures and fall onto the buses and the line to the startup transformer. Switchyard breakers open, thereby causing the loss of the remaining 345KV feeds to the plant (Loss of Off-Site Power).

Consequently, NBOl loses power and 'A' EDG fails to automatically start. If necessary, delay energizing NBOl until after 15 minutes has elapsed to ensure that a SITE AREA EMERGENCY (SS 1.18) condition is achieved. The SBO diesel can be started locally, after the emergency declaration has been made. DEI can exceed 300 uCi / cc after the SAE has been declared, which would NOT be provi~ed unless earned.

-0930 It is reported that the smoke from the fire is thick across 19th Road.

-1030 There is a large LOCA (-10,000 gpm) inside Containment. Containment radiation levels increase and GT RE 59/60 exceeds 600 R/Hr. Comp measure area radiation monitors SD RE 40, 41 and 42 read greater than 10 R/Hr and Aux Building area rad monitors> 10 R/Hr 'A' Containment Spray penetration fails and is leaking irito the penetration room. The LOCA release goes through the Auxiliary building and exits via the unit vent. The flow to most fans is off due to the loss of offsite power (LOOP).

3.3.1.3 Kansas Dose Assessment & Field Team Coordinad~n '. "-

During day 1 of the exe.rcise, the Dose Assessment & Field Team Coordination were conducted out ofthe Wolf Creek Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). With the utilization of joint monitoring teams, dose assessment and field team coordination are a partnership with staff from the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) and Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). During day 2 of the exercise, Dose Assessment activities were conducted out of the Kansas State Emergency Operations. Center (SEOC). All ten criteria assigned were adequately demonstrated in accordance with the plans, procedures and extent of play agreement.

The KDHE dose assessment team should be commended for producing a variety of assessment products to support recommendations for relocation and return using spreadsheet calculations and Turbo FRMAC. Products included calculating return timeframes from each soil analysis and estimated doses for those who did not evacuate. This is unique and not a practice demonstrated at many locations nationaliy and an excellent best practice.
