SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On March 24, 2010, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise Evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Braidwood Station (BS). 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 DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on November 19, 2008. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 6, 1985.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois, the risk counties of Grundy, Kankakee and Will participated along with State Government. The state of Indiana did not participate in the exercise since it was not an Ingestion Pathway exercise.

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.

Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This Final After Action Improvement Plan Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities:

_____________________________________________________________________

Except where noted in this report, the State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of and adequately implemented their emergency response plans and procedures.

There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Grundy, Kankakee, or Will.

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified and corrected during this exercise for Grundy County. Grundy County received an ARCA finding under Protective Action Implementation Criterion 3.d.2. - Impediments to Evacuation are Identified and Resolved. The ARCA assessed was based on our findings that an impediment to evacuation was resolved in a manner that would have resulted in traffic gridlocked at an intersection designated for evacuation. This would have impeded the public's ability to evacuate a portion of Sub-Area 10.

This criterion was successfully redemonstrated when the IEMA Controller provided remedial instruction to the Sheriff and the impediment was reintroduced. The Sheriff recognized that the accident would impede the flow of traffic leaving the area and that he would therefore establish additional TACPs using Grundy County Sheriff's Deputies to direct traffic and provide an effective evacuation route. Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the ARCA.

There were no ARCAs identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Kankakee or Will.

There were two Plan Issues identified during this exercise for the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC). The first Plan Issue was a carry-over from the Clinton Exercise conducted in November 2009 during which the REAC received a Plan Issue under Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media criterion 5.b.1. - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. Residents within the 10-mile EPZ were not notified that they may need to ingest KI after such a recommendation was made for emergency workers and immobile persons.

Information contained within the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents (IPRA), Volume I 6 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station

_____________________________________________________________________

Concept of Operations and Radiological Task Force (RTF) procedures RTF-PARS-2 and RFT-POS-14 are not consistent regarding KI information that is provided to the public.

The second Plan Issue was identified during this exercise for the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC). The REAC received a Plan Issue finding under Protective Action Decision-Making Criterion 2.a.1. - Emergency Worker Exposure Control; OROs use a decision-making process to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of admin or PAGs. The Plan Issue assessed was based on findings that the REAC Health Physics (HP)

Specialist procedures do not provide a method for calculating a Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) dose conversion factor based on source term. Additionally, in the event that a calculated administrative limit is too low to read on the 0-20 R DRDs provided to Emergency Workers (EWs), procedures do not provide an alternative method for controlling radiation exposure.

Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the Plan Issue.

There were no Plan Issues identified for the Counties of Grundy, Kankakee, or Will.

INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness", 351 "Radiological Emergency Planning and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning."

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.

include the following:

  • Taking the lead in offsite 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:

Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Braidwood Station to FEMA Region V by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on January 9, 1987. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on April 15, 1988, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on March 24, 2010, and evaluated by DHS/FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency 8 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

SECTION 2: EXERCISE DESIGN

SUMMARY

2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The DHS/FEMA Region V Office evaluated the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise conducted on March 24, 2010, to assess the capabilities of local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving Braidwood Station. The purpose of this report is to present the results and findings on the performance of the Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) during a simulated radiological emergency.

2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities Exercise objectives and identified Capabilities/REP Criteria selected to be demonstrated are discussed in Appendix G "Exercise Plan."

2.3 Scenario Summary Appendix H "Scenario Details," contains a summary of the Exercise Scenario, a simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) in the Braidwood Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise on March 24, 2010.

This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Illinois and Exelon Nuclear and accepted by DHS/FEMA Region V on February 19, 2010.

During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Braidwood Station onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Illinois provided "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.

The details of the scenario are included in Appendix H "Scenario Details."

CONDITION: The REAC Health Physics (HP) Specialist procedures do not provide a method for calculating a Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) dose conversion factor 25 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station

_____________________________________________________________________

based on source term. Additionally, in the event that a calculated administrative limit is too low to read on the 0-20 R DRDs provided to Emergency Workers (EW), procedures do not provide an alternative method for controlling radiation exposure such as use of a clock based stay-time.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: During the exercise, the HP Specialist in the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC) estimated a dose conversion factor that could be used to control emergency worker dose due to the high internal dose component based on the release source term. Per discussion with the HP Specialist, the estimated conversion factor would have resulted in an administrative exposure limit too low to read on the 0-20 R DRD supplied to EWs. As an alternative method of controlling exposure, the HP Specialist requested Radiological Assessment Field Team (RAFT) and Unified Area Command (UAC) monitor EW stay times in the plume exposure area; no clock based stay-time limits were specified based on projected dose rates at EW assignment locations.. Nor was a lowered administrative limit specified that could be read on the DRD (e.g. 1 R vs. the default 3 R) as another method of minimizing excess exposure due to inhalation dose from an unfiltered release of radioactive material.

Radiological Assessment Field Team procedure, RTF-RFT-11, Rev. 3, states, Emergency workers and IEMA personnel shall immediately report cumulative DRD readings equal to or in excess of 3R to their DCO. The Health Physics Specialist in REAC should use current source term information to determine the conversion factor to use for converting radiation exposure to TEDE. The default conversion factor is 1.67 (e.g., 3R x 1.67 TEDE/R = 5 Rem TEDE). The method for performing an updated dose conversion factor calculation is not contained or referenced in REAC or RAFT procedures.

REFERENCE:

NUREG 0654, K.3.a-b RTF-RAFT-11, Rev. 3, Emergency Worker Dosimetry EFFECT: Radiation dose from internal exposure could result in an EW exceeding EPA Protective Action Guidelines (PAG) unless a mechanism for controlling and tracking their exposure is established either through a lowered administrative limit or a clock based stay-time.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: 3.d.2.

ISSUE NO.: 06-10-3d2-A-02 CRITERION: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved. (NUREG-0654, J.10.j.k.)

CONDITION: Inject No. 25 (exercise message No. 126) identified an impediment at the intersection of Broadway and Braceville Roads prohibiting potential evacuation traffic leaving the towns of Godley and Braceville. The Grundy County Sheriff in the EOC stated that this was east of a Traffic and Access Control Post (TACP) No.

10-5 and was not a part of a potential evacuation route. Thus no action was required.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Sheriff's Deputy appeared to look at the location of the traffic impediment in relation to the nearby TACP No. 10-5 and determined that the TACP would keep vehicles from entering the area being evacuated. He did not appear to realize that evacuees may be planning to use those roads to leave the area.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654 Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria J.10.k EFFECT: The potential impact would have been evacuation traffic backed up and stalled at the intersection, unable to leave a portion of the Sub-Area 10.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: This criterion was successfully redemonstrated when the IEMA Controller provided remedial instruction to the Sheriff and message inject No. 25 was reintroduced to the Sheriff. The Sheriff utilized IPRA Map-A (Braidwood Traffic and Access Control, which was posted on the EOC wall). The Sheriff stated that the accident (at Broadway and Braceville Road intersections) would impede the flow of traffic leaving the area and that he would therefore establish additional TACPs using Grundy County Sheriff's Deputies at the next intersection north on Broadway Road to direct traffic further west to the next north-south highway, and at locations on Braceville Road east of the accident site to direct evacuation traffic onto Highway 129 South. This action was simulated.

SECTION 4: CONCLUSION There were no Deficiencies identified for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Grundy, Kankakee, or Will.

There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified and corrected during this exercise for Grundy County. Grundy County received an ARCA finding under Protective Action Implementation Criterion 3.d.2 - Impediments to Evacuation are Identified and Resolved. The ARCA assessed was based on findings that an impediment to evacuation was resolved in a manner that would have resulted in traffic gridlocked at an intersection designated for evacuation. This would have impeded the public's ability to evacuate a portion of Sub-Area 10.

This criterion was successfully redemonstrated when the IEMA Controller provided remedial instruction to the Sheriff and the impediment was reintroduced. The Sheriff recognized that the accident would impede the flow of traffic leaving the area and that he would therefore establish additional TACPs using Grundy County Sheriff's Deputies to direct traffic and provide an effective evacuation route. Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the ARCA.

There were no ARCAs identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Kankakee or Will.

There were two Plan Issues identified during this exercise for the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC). The first Plan Issue was a carry-over from the Clinton Exercise conducted in November 2009 during which the REAC received a Plan Issue under Emergency Information and Instructions for the Public and the Media criterion 5.b.1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner. Residents within the 10-mile EPZ were not notified that they may need to ingest KI after such a recommendation was made for emergency workers and immobile persons.

Information contained within the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents (IPRA) and Radiological Task Force (RTF) procedures RTF-PARS-2 and RFT-POS-14 are not consistent regarding KI information that is provided to the public.

The second Plan Issue was identified during this exercise for the Radiological Emergency Assessment Center (REAC). The REAC received a Plan Issue finding under Protective Action 39 Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

Decision-Making Criterion 2.a.1.-Emergency Worker Exposure Control; OROs use a decision-making process to insure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of admin or PAGs. The Plan Issue assessed was based on our findings that the REAC Health Physics (HP)

Specialist procedures do not provide a method for calculating a Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) dose conversion factor based on source term. Additionally, in the event that a calculated administrative limit is too low to read on the 0-20 R DRDs provided to Emergency Workers (EW), procedures do not provide an alternative method for controlling radiation exposure.

Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the Plan Issue.

There were no Plan Issues identified for the Counties of Grundy, Kankakee, or Will.

APPENDIX B: LESSONS LEARNED

1. KI and Shellfish Summary: iOSAT (KI) and shellfish contraindication.

The DCO then explained the dose for KI is one tablet (130 mg) per day and that taking additional tablets would not offer more protection. He indicated that in certain individuals, especially those sensitive to shellfish, may react to the drug. There are some people who may be allergic to KI and others who may experience adverse side effects such as a metallic taste, rashes, diarrhea, and other symptoms.

APPENDIX C: BEST PRACTICES

1. Emergency Notification Service to Support Emergency Communications Summary: The Reed-Custer Community School District 255 employs an emergency notification service, AlertNow, to rapidly communicate with employees and families using cellular, landline, text messaging and e-mails. The service has the capacity to make up to 2000 telephone calls at a time, increasing the effectiveness of District staff in making timely notifications to employees and families during emergencies.

Description:

The District regularly uses the service to notify parents of early dismissals, last minute changes to bus routes or other issues that impact the school population. The system is also used to contact District staff to deliver operational updates and messages. The inclusion of text messaging and e-mail provides an alternative message pathway in the event cellular systems become incapacitated. The system leverages the efforts of Reed-Custer School District 255 staff to keep employees and families informed in a timely manner during crisis events. The system provides a report showing the status of each call made. The status report allows staff to target receipt confirmation and follow up efforts on those individuals who did not receive the general communication.

APPENDIX G: EXERCISE PLAN This appendix lists the exercise criteria, which were scheduled for demonstration in the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on March 24, 2010, and the offsite extent-of-play agreement accepted by DHS/FEMA Region V on February 19, 2010. The exercise criteria, contained in the FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice," as published in the Federal Register Notice/Vol. 67, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980. Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by the State and accepted by DHS/FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria.

Exercise Criteria Listed on the following pages are the specific radiological emergency preparedness criteria that were scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.
