Regional Administrator, U.S. NRC, Region IV 61 1 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400 Arlington, TX 760 11-4005

Dear Mr. Collins:

Enclosed is a copy of the radiological emergency preparedness final report for the Arkansas Nuclear One Designated Care Centers, medical and laboratory drills evaluated on October 20-22,2008. by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Region VI.

My staff evaluated two Designated Care Centers (Clarksville and Hector), Pope County Emergency Medical Services, St. Marys Medical Center, and the Arkansas Department of Health Radiochemistry Laboratory. No issues were identified during the drills.

Based on the results of the drills, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Arkansas and the affected local jurisdictions are deemed adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency. Therefore, 44 CFR Part 350 approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Arkansas specific to Arkansas Nuclear One will remain in effect.

A copy of this report was mailed to the Document Control Desk at NRC Headquarters. Should you have questions, please contact me at (940) 898-5 199, or Scott Flowerday, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program Manager, at (940) 898-5370.

I Executive Summary On October 20-22, 2008, out-of-sequence laboratory, medical and Designated Care Center (DCC) drills were conducted for the Arkansas Nuclear (ANO), located near Russellville, Arkansas. Personnel from the U.S. Department of Homeland SecuritylFEMA (DHSIFEMA) Region VI, evaluated all activities. The purpose of the drills was to assess the level of preparedness of local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at the ANO.

This report contains the final evaluation of the out-of-sequence drills. The participants demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies and no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified during the drills.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear power facility planning and response. The FEMA activities are conducted pursuant to 44 CFR 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.

FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of state and local government 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.

FEMA's responsibilities in Fixed Nuclear Facility Radiological Emergency Response Planning include:

Taking the lead in off-site emergency response planning and in the review and evaluation of state and local government emergency plans, ensuring that the plans meet the federal criteria set forth in NUREG-O654/FEMA REP-I , Rev.1 (November 1980).

Determining whether the state and local emergency response plans can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of an exercise conducted by the appropriate emergency response jurisdictions.

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 volunteer organizations and other involved Federal agencies. Representatives of these agencies, listed below, serve as members of the Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.

- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

- U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)

- U S . Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) 2

- U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)

- U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

- US. Department of Interior (DOI)

- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The findings presented in this report are based on the federal evaluation team's assessment of the participants' response to a simulated radiological incident at the Arkansas Nuclear One plant that affected the offsite population. The RAC Chair made the final classification of any issues identified, and the FEMA Regional Administrator approved the report.

The criteria used in the evaluation process are contained in:

NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (November 1980);

Interim REP Program Manual, including the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology (August 2002). Section 111 of this report entitled "Exercise Overview" presents basic information and data relevant to the exercise. This section contains a description of the emergency planning zorie, a listing of all participating jurisdictions, which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the times of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

Section IV of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents basic information on the demonstration of applicable exercise criterion at each jurisdiction or functional entity in a jurisdiction-based format. This section also contains descriptions of all Deficiencies and ARCAs assessed during the exercise and recommended corrective actions, as well as descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the current status of each.

3. Drill Overview This section contains data and basic information relevant to the October 20-22, 2008 drills, to test the offsite response capabilities in the area surrounding the Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). This section of the report includes a description of the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), and a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated.

3. I EPZ Description r.

The IO-mile EPZ around ANO, a circle with a radius of 10 miles with AN0 at the center, can be described best by referring to a number of prominent features or landmarks in the area.

The most distinctive feature of the EPZ is the Arkansas River and Lake Dardanelle. The river bisects the zone from the northeast near the City of Knoxville to the southeast near the city of Dardanelle. Lake Dardanelle, which surrounds the AN0 peninsula and ANO, is the most central feature.

The northern edge of the zone lies approximately 1 mile north of Piney Creek in Pope County. The southern edge lies approximately 2 miles directly south of Mt. Neb0 in Yell County. A point approximately one-quarter mile west of the junction of River Mountain Road and Highway 22 in Logan County marks the western edge of the EPZ. The eastern boundary of the zone lies approximately along a line marking the city limits of Russellville and Pottsville in Pope County.

Portions of Pope, Yell, Logan, and Johnson counties are included in the EPZ. The 10-mile EPZ contains approximately 46,607 residents with just over 68% of the population in the cities of Russellville and Dardanelle in the southeastern quadrant. The EPZ is subdivided into 15 protective action zones for emergency planning purposes as well as the implementation of protective actions. Interstate 40 and State Highway 64 cross the EPZ from east to west, and State Highway 7 crosses from north to south.

The 50-mile ingestion pathway zone (IPZ) can be described as a circle with a 50-mile radius with AN0 at its center. It covers all or part of 19 Arkansas counties including:

Pope, Yell, Logan, Johnson, Conway, Newton, Madison, Scott, Crawford, Perry, Garland, Faulkner, Searcy, Franklin, Sebastian, Montgomery, Saline, Pulaski, and Van 4

Buren. The 50-mile IPZ boundary can be approximately delineated using these points.

The northern edge is 50 miles north of AN0 at a point lying 6.5miles south of the northern border of Newton County and 1 mile north of Jasper, Arkansas. The eastern edge is 50 miles east of AN0 at a point lying 7 miles east of the western border of Faulkner County and 5.5 miles northeast of Greenbrier, Arkansas. The southern edge is 50 miles south of AN0 at a point lying 13 miles south of the northern border of Garland County and 11 miles northwest of Hot Springs, Arkansas. The western edge is 50 miles west of AN0 at a point lying 2 miles west of the eastern border of Sebastian County and 5 miles southeast of Lavaca, Arkansas.

The Arkansas River, Interstate 40 and State Highway 64 from Mulberry, Arkansas to near Roland, Arkansas, bisect the 50-mile IPZ west to east. Its most central feature is Lake Dardanelle and the AN0 peninsula.

4.2. Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity, in a jurisdiction based, issues only format. Presented below is a definition of the terms used in this subsection relative to objective demonstration status.

Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. This also includes planning issues identified and ARCAs corrected on the spot during the exercise.

Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area 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 Actions - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which one or more ARCAs were 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 evaluation area criteria which were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason 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 are discussed in this report.

A Deficiency is defined in the REP Program Manual as "...an observed or identified 9

inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that off-site emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant. I' An ARCA is defined in the REP Program Manual. 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."

FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies, ARCAs, and Plan). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.

The identifying number for Deficiencies, ARCAs, and Plan issues 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 Codes.

Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.

Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the Evaluation Area criterion.

Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA, and P=Plan).

Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two (or three) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

Lab Scenario

1. Since the samples were QCd for external contamination and lab maximum activity at the armory before transit to Little Rock, all the monitoring of samples and the courier will be background.

2. The controller will watch the sample preparation activity. If he determines that external contamination could be present, he will inject a contamination reading.

3. Once the samples have been simulated read, the controller will provide the attached sample results to the lab tech.
