INTRODUCTION

1. Exercise Background -

Se June 10, 1986 exercise was the fifth joint exercise for the State of Michigan and Berrien County resulting from a sinclated accident at the D C Cook Nuclear Power Plant. The first joint exercise was conducted on October 9,1980 and involved full participation by the State of Michigan and Berrien County. Subsequent joint exercises were conducted on March 30, 1982, October 21, 1982, and January 25, 1984 and involved partial participation by the State of Michigan and full participation by Berrien County. As a result of the deficiency identified during the June 10, 1986 joint exercise, a remedial drill was conducted by Berrien County in conjunction with the utility drill scheduled for September 22, 1986. Se State of Michigan participated in this drill in support of the Berrien County response activity. Wis report addresses the joint exercise which was, conducted on June 10, 1986 as well as the reedial drill which was conducted on September 22, 1986.

2. Participating and Non-participating State and Local Goverrrtents he 10-mile plune exposure energency planning zone (EPZ) of the D C Cook Nuclear Power Plant lies entirely within Berrien County and Lake Michigan.

We 1980 pernanent population within t.he 10-mile EPZ is estinated at 52,600. S e influx of suntier vacationers increases the population significantly. S e exercise was partial participation for both the State of Michigan and Berrien County and was conducted during nornal working hours.

Se renedial drill was partial participation for Berrien County and was conducted during nornal working hours. The State of Michigan participated in a non-evaluated node to support the Berrien County response activity.

We 50-mile ingestion EPZ enconpasses all or part of the following Michigan Counties: Allegan, Cass, Berrien, Kalanazoo, St. Joseph and Van Buren. Se ingestion EPZ also consists of all or part of the following Indiana Counties: Elkhart, Kosciusko, Lake, Laporte, Marshall, Porter, St. Joseph and Starke. We 1980 pernanent population within the 50-mile ingestion EPZ is estinated at 823,100. The foregoing Michigan and Indiana Counties beyond the 10-mile EPZ did not denonstrate the procedures for inplertentation of ingestion pathway protective actions as this activity was beyond the scope of this exercise.

3. List of Evaluators a.

For the exercise there was a total of three federal evaluators observing offsite exercise activities. All three federal evaluators were from the Federal Biergency Managenent Agency (FDR). Onsite exercise activities were evaluated by a separate team from the Nuclear Regulatory Conmission. Se offsite evaluator assignnents were as follows:

6. Senary of Exercise Scenario me D C Cook Nuclear Power Plant radiological energency preparedness ownario, developed jointly by the utility and the State, considered weaknesses identified during past exercises in order to develop a scenario that would allow demonstration of past exercise weaknesses as well as allow demonstration of exercise objectives selected by the State of Michigan and Berrien County.

Representatives from the D C Cook Nuclear Power Plant, the State of Michigan, Berrien County and FDR Region V conducted several conference calls during February, March and April 1986 to select the exercise objectives and to discuss the scope of the exercise. Sulanission of the scenario to FDR Region V was according to deadlines outlined in NRC and FDR guidance. Westinghouse Idaho Nuclear Conpany Incorporated reviewed the scenario for FD% and found the scenario adequate to exercise the objectives selected. A sunnery of the exercise scenario follows.

At 9800, the initial conditions for the exercise are established. At 0815, an earthquake occurs registering 6.3 on the Richter Scale. We earthquake is felt onsite and results in a 1000 gpm leak in the RWST. An ALERT should be declared at this tine.  !

At 0820, alarns are received in the Control Room indicating a fire adjacent to the Waste Gas Decay Tanks (WGDT) . Inmediately thereafter a "RWST Ievel at 350,000 gallons" alarn. is received in the Control Room. At 0825, the WGDT that received gas products from the Unit 2 degas and Unit 1 dilutions explodes due to heat and high hydrogen concentrations. This explosion muses three studs on the adjacent WGDr nanway to shear resulting in a gradual radioactive release. Se explosion also results in a contaminated injured nan.

At 0830, dose projections from the WGDT rupture indicate greater than 50 mR/hr whole body dose at the site boundary. Security reports a large

' quantity of water on the ground near the three large tanks just north of the Unit 1 containment. A SITE AREA DE:RGENCY should be declared at this tine.

At 0835, indication is received in the Control Room of a 35 gpm IDCA.

Reactor shutdown is started at a rate of 50% per hour. Due to the earthquake the fire suppression system in the west RHR room actuated and has wet down the west RHR punp. We pung will eventually fail. At 0845, IDCA leak rate has increased to 80 gpm. An umonitored release is occurring via the steam closure vent. Se earthquake caused the contaiment penetration seal for a nain steam line to fail. Contalment tenperature and humidity are increasing while containment pressure remains below the isolation' setpoint of 2.9 psig.

At 0900, LOCA leak rate has increased to 1500 gpm and will renain steady than decrease with pressure. Safety injection is actuated. TSC, OSA, EOF and ENC /JPIC should be nenned but nay not be operational until 0915. At 9915, portal monitors in the Security Building alarm due to ongoing release.

At 1215 initial conditions for the exercise are established. At 1230 a large break IDCA (1400 gpm) occurs. Reactor trip, turbine trip, safety injection and phase B isolation occur. As a result SITE AREA ENERGENCY should be declared at 1235. By 1250 governmental notifications should be .

coupleted by the plant.

At 1320 RWST low level alarm occurs. At 1335 switchover frcxn RWST to sunp recirculation has been conpleted and recirculation is on west RHR. At 1345 west RHR pung trips due to a burned out breaker. At 1400 core thernocouple maps indicate 50-100% clad failure. TSC/CR should request a DCT from OSA to substitute east RHR punp breaker for west RHR pmp breaker.

At 1410 containnent smp sanple requested to evaluate core danege. RCS loop sanple unattainable due to insufficient water supply in RCS. At 1415 containnent area monitors indicate 5.4E3 R/hr indicating 9-50% fuel pellet overheat. At 1430 indication is received in the Control Room that VCR-107 and VCR-207 are open. Unit vent noble gas and iodine increase. GENERAL EMERGENCY should be declared. .

At 1445 offsite Rt s should be dispatched if not already perforned. DCT should be dispatched to investigate VCR problem and close valves nanually.

Dose projections at EDF underway. At 1500 core thernocouple nap indicates a 10-50% fuel overheat. At 1515 DCT reports RHR breaker substitution conpleted. Sunp recirculation is reestablished as soon as possible.

At 1530 DCT at VCR report they have encountered turn back dose rate about 10 feet from VCR-207. Team nenbers have whole body e:<posures of 2.7, 2.5 and 2.9 rem request guidance from OSA. At 1545 SEC authorizes VCR DCT to exceed 10CFR20 limits to close VCR-207. At 1600 VCR DCT reports VCR-207 is closed. Control Room verifies indication. At 1615 the drill is terndnated.

We actual drill events followed the drill scenario. 'Ihe SITE AREA EMERGENCY was declared at 1236 and the GENERAL ENERGENCY at 1345.

Evacuation (0-2 miles in all sectors and 2-5 miles in sectors G, H, J, K and L) and sheltering (2-5 miles in all other sectors and 5-10 ndles in sectors G,H,J,K AND L) protective actions were ordered at 1350. The evacuation (0-5 miles in all sectors and 5-10 ndles in sectors G, H, J, K AND L) and sheltering (5-10 miles in all other sectors) protective actions were upgraded at 1515. The offsite drill was terminated at 1345.

8. State and Incal Resources Planned To Be Used In 2e Exercise During this exercise the State of Michigan planned to partially staff the State EOC in Lansing and the JPIC at the Lake Michigan Connonity College in Benton Harbor. The State of Michigan also planned to use the necessary conmunications systens to conduct energency operations.

Berrien County planned to demonstrate their EOC facilities, energency response staff (partial) and conmunications systens capabilities. We County also planned to have a spokesperson at the JPIC to demonstrate their ability to coordinate public infornetion and runor control. We pronpt alert and notification system was not to be activated during the exercise but the procedures leading to public alerting were to be denonstrated.

RECOPtGNDATION: Infornation released at the JPIC reinforces the public instruction provided via EBS. 'these news releases should describe the affected sectors in fandliar terns and provide appropriate instructions for the public. Hard copy of the EBS nessages prepared by Berrien County would provide this infornation if made available at the JPIC.

Media kits containing infornation about the utility, nuclear power, the local area, radiation and the State, County and utility energency response plans were available. Rumor control was established by the utility at the JPIC. In an effort to assure the accuracy of the nedia infornation the utility monitored local radio stations and the local outlets of the najor TV networks.

2. Berrien County

'1he EOC staff, with the exception of the utility liason, were prepositioned in the EOC at approxinately 0800. At 0821, the Sheriff's dispatch received and verified the ALERT notification from the utility. 'Ihe EOC activity was initiated at approxinately 0830 with a status briefing by each of the agencies represented in the EOC. These representatives included the County Board Chairnan, the Chief of Staff, the County Sheriff, two Public Infornation Officers, two County Health officials, two Radiological Officers, the State Police liason and appropriate support staff. '1he Social Services activity was sinalated by the County Health officials in the EOC.

'1he utility liason responded in real tine arriving at the EOC at 0917.

The County Board Chairnan was the individual in charge of the energency response. He conducted periodic staff briefings, six in all, throughout the day. However, one briefing innediately followed the Governor's order to expand the area requiring protective action. While this briefing did not impede the inglenentation of the protective action order, the attention of the EOC staff was divided between two inportant activities.

AREA RECOPNENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT: Staff briefings should be delayed until the EOC staff have conpleted inplenentation of energency actions so as not to hinder these inportant activities.

Subsequent notification of the utility energency classifications as well as the Governor's protective action orders were received directly from the State EOC and inmediately announced to the Berrien County EOC staff by the State Police liason. Ehergency classification levels were conspicuously posted in the County EOC. '!he EOC staff were independently involved in the inplenentation of the Governor's protective action orders. They each had a copy of the County's energency response plan as well as procedures and secklists to facilitate their energency response activity.

v Each BOC staff msnber maintained a message log and reported on their activities during the staff briefings. As discussed below, these briefings could be expanded in scope. Message forns were prepared for most of the '

significant BOC activities. W ese nessage forus were not routinely forwarded to the State BOC via LEIN and on several occasions the County BOC 1 was asked to provide status updates.to the State for activities which had j already been accouplished by the BOC staff. l often the only BOC representative aware of the coupletion of a particular response activity was the individual responsible for the action. The EOC status board, which was not in use during the exercise, would alleviate some but not all of the infornation dissemination problens.

AREA RECOP9 ENDED FOR IMPROVDENT: Each EOC representative should ensure that all energency response activity is prenptly reported to the other County BOC staff and properly recorded on nessage forns for dissendnation to the State EOC in a tinely nenner.

~

Se Berrien County EOC is a spacious facility with adequate resources such as furniture, telephones, etc., to support energency response activity.

- Although not located in the 10-mile EPZ, the facility can support extended operations. Backup power was available but not demonstrated during the exercise. All appropriate naps were posted in the EOC with the exception of the State radiological monitoring points. Although not required, this nap would be useful to the Radiological Officers, who indicated that they did not have a copy of this nap for their use in the EOC.

AREA RECOPNENDED EVR IMPROVDENT: A copy of the State radiological monitoring points nap should be available in the Berrien County EOC for the use of the Radiological Officers.

EBS had been placed on standby following receipt of the SITE AREA EMERGENCY notification. Berrien County initiated public alerting and instruction following the receipt of each of the seven protective action orders from the State EOC. Sane problens were noted during the attenpts at public alerting.

After receipt of the initial sheltering order at 9997, a nessage was prepared by the public infornation staff which directed activation of the sirens in the affected areas. Further, this message also contained sone of the general sheltering EBS infornation to be released coincident with siren activation. Although ordered at 9912, siren activation did not occur until 9918 after the nessage was processed through the EOC nessage control station. Ccapletion of the EBS nessage was delayed until 9929 because the prescripted sheltering nessage in the PLn required adaptation and the prescripted descriptions were inappropriate for the 9-2 ndle all sectors and 2-10 mile downwind sectors cambination for the sheltering area. We boundary of the area affected had to be prepared from scratch utilizing a well nap. mis nessage was then processed through the EOC message control station and released to the EBS at 9933. Se information released to the EBS did not fully address the transient population but did include appropriate sheltering instructions for the resident population, me tine of the siren activation and EBS release was erroneously reported to the State EOC as 9912, the tine the nessage was initiated not the tines that the actions were actually acconplished.

Berrien County was represented at the JPIC by a spokesperson. 'lhere was adequate space and anenities available for the State and County information officers and their staffs.

i The briefing team moderator, the State, County and utility spokespersons presented their naterial in a professional manner and handled most questions without difficulty. Several times they had to provide answers to questions

! at the next briefing.

AREA RBC0tNENDED FOR IMPROVEMENT: Answers to questions which require

! research by the information officers should be provided to the media as soon as possible rather than waiting until the next briefing.

Connercial telephone is the prinary conannications link between the JPIC and the Berrien County EOC. The lack of a datafax capability between the County BOC and the JPIC precluded the transmission of IBS messages to the JPIC and news releases to the County BOC. Backup connonications capability is provided by Sheriff's radio and was demonstrated during the exercise.

Four briefings were held during the exercise. Several others were scheduled and either cancelled or conbined with a later briefing. 'Ihe State, County and utility staffs coordinated their infornation with their respective EDC's I and the briefing team nenbers coordinated their renerks to. ensure no conflicting concents. Maps and other displays were available and utilized by the briefers. Hard copy of the news releases were available during the ,

concerning the evacuation protective action reconmendation did not include any instructions for the public. One nessage advised residents to stay -l' tuned to local radio or TV but did not provide infornation as to the appropriate stations. None of the news releases addressed the needs of the ,

transient population.

AREA REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: NUREG-9654 criteria item E.7 News releases issued at the JPIC did not include instructions for either the resident or the transient population. The areas affected were described by sectors rather than in terns of familiar landnerks and boundaries.

RECOPNENDATION: Infornation released at the JPIC reinforces the public instruction provided via EBS. These news releases should describe the affected sectors in familiar terns and provide appropriate instructions for the public. Hatd copy of the EBS messages prepared by Berrien County would provide this infornation if made available at the JPIC.

Media kits containing infornatien about the utility, nuclear power, the local area, radiation and the State, County and utility energency response plans were available. Although an exercise objective, rinnor control was not demonstrated by Berrien County at the JPIC. Re cr control was established by the utility at the JPIC. In an effort to assure the accuracy of the media infornation the utility monitored local radio stations and the local outlets of the major TV networks. ,

3. Evaluation of Remedial Drill BOC activation and staff nobilization were not exercise objectives. We BOC was prepared for operation and EOC staff were prepositioned prior to the initiation of the remedial drill. All BOC positions were staffed except for the school services. Se utility liason arrived real time. Although only public alerting and instruction were to be denonstrated during the drill, the EOC was fully operational. S e EOC staff responded to the scenario events and demonstrated all of their energency response capabilities.

Conannications were evaluated in so far as they supported the public alerting and instruction objectives. Connonications between the Berrien County EOC and the State EOC in Lansing were effectively accouplished utilizing connercial telephone (including an open hot line), LEIN and a

. datafax nachine. me datafax capability was new to the BOC and was used to transmit hard copy of the EBS nessages and status reports to the State EOC.

Although not denonstrated during this drill, the datafax nachine will also be used to transmit hard copy infornation to the JPIC. W e County EOC staff demonstrated the ability (sinclated) to transmit an EBS nessage to the appropriate radio and television stations utilizing tone alert receivers to

, activate recording nachines at the stations.

Se SITE AREA EMERGENCY was declared at 1236 and notification was received in the County EOC at 1243. At 1312 Weco Beach and Warren Dunes State Park were evacuated as a precautionary neasure by the Sheriff's Departnent. At i 1315 the EOC staff prepared a general infornation nessage for the public and simulated its transmittal to the EBS stations. This nessage alerted the public to the fact that their was an incident in progress at the D C Cook facility and that a SITE AREA EMERGENCY had been declared. It further advised the public to stay tuned for additional infornation as it becane available. The sirens were not sounded at this tine because no protective actions had been ordered for the general public.

he GENERAL EMERGENCY was declared at 1345 and notification was received in the County EOC at 1350 along with the first protective action order from the State. Evacuation (0-2 miles in all sectors and 2-5 miles in sectors G, H, J, K and L) and sheltering (2-5 miles in all other sectors and 5-10 miles in sectors G,H,J,K AND L) protective actions were ordered by the State ag 1350. Se County EOC staff responded to the State action by preparing an

! EBS nessage to notify the public. The sirens were sinnlated sounded at 1400 followed by the sinclated transmittal of the EBS message by tone alert receiver to the EBS stations. We prescripted EBS message for.the sheltering order was anended to include sector K and provide instructions for the transient population. Se nessage utilized faniliar landnarks and boundaries to describe the affected sectors. However, due to the 4

sinnlation, a portion of sector K did not receive full siren coverage. Had the sheriff's dispatch officer responsible for both the siren and EBS activation actually activated both he would have realized that he needed to activate sirens for sector K as well as sectors G, H and J. (Sector L is in take Michigan and does not have siren coverage.) -

S e additional sectors were on the last page of the EBS nessage and would have been seen had the dispatch officer actually gone through the nessage.

In describing the procedures to the evaluator he did not read the full message. He did describe the procedure he would follow to couplete both the siren and EBS activation. In discussion with the EOC staff, it was noted that when a prescripted EBS nessage is revised the reason for the revision should be noted at the top of the first page. Bis would ensure that the dispatch offi r received the appropriate infornation to couplete his tasks.

AREA RECOPMENDED FOR IMPROVDiEtE: he use of prescripted nessages should be continued. However, whenever a prescripted nessage is modified the appropriate sectors for siren activation should be noted at the top of the first page. W e dispatch officer would then know which sirens to activate without checking the entire nessage.

Se evacuation (0-5 miles in all sectors and 5-10 miles in sectors G, H, J, K AND L) and sheltering (5-10 miles in all other sectors) protective actions were upgraded at 1515. The sirens and appropriate EBS nessages were sequenced, evacuation at 1523 and sheltering at 1528. All areas were covered by both the sirens and the EBS nessage content. The EBS nessage form had been narke3 to indicate that it was nodified tc include sector K.

' Again the EBS nessage utilized familiar landnerks and boundaries to describe the affected sectors. We prescripted EBS nessages have instructions for the EBS stations as to the periodic repeat of the infornation to the public.

The deficiency identified during the June 10, 1986 exercise was denonstrated to have been corrected during this drill. Berrien County and the State of Michigan have addressed both the planning and inplenentation weaknesses identified earlier in this report. Specifically, the current inglenentation procedures incorporate nost of the reconnendations nade in this report.

Further, none of the problens observed during the earlier exercise recurred during this de onstration by Berrien County. Additional familiarity with the new procedures will only serve to enhance the County's response capability.

Dear Captain Basolo:

26, 1986 for We have reviewed the schedule of corrective actions dated 10, 1986August D.C. Cook REP the exercise weaknesses identified during the June exercise. Our evaluation of the proposed corrective actions is discussed below.

Berrien County: E.5, E.6, and E.7 The proposed corrective actions were reviewed and evaluated during the D.C. Cook remedial drill on September 22, 1986. The evaluation for theofJune the 10, remedial drill Cook 1986 D.C. has been incorporated into the final exercise report REP exercise. The corrective actions which have been undertaken and the demonstra-tion of those corrective actions during the remedial10, drill1986 haveexercise.

successfully Two copies corrected the deficiency identified during the June of the final exercise report are enclosed.

Berrien County: G.4.c Rumor control was demonstrated by Berrien County during the Palisades-86 exercise on August 19, 1986. The evaluation of this activity is contained in the draft As will 'se noted in the Palisades exercise report that Palisades exercise report.

to correct the weakness identified during the June demonstration was sufficient 10, 1986 exercise.

State of Michigan and Berrien County: E.7 We have reviewed the EBS messages and news Taleases generated during the June l

10, 1986 D.C. Cook exercise and generally concur with your assessment of their content.

However, as noted in the exercise report and. underscored In duying the that regard, exercise, news releases at the JPIC reinforce the T,BS messages.

EBS messages prepared in the Berrien County EOC should be forwarded to the JPIC

) for release to the media.
