After Action Report/Improvement Plan Arkansas Nuclear One EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
On April 11, 2012, a biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercise was conducted in the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) around Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) located near Russellville, Pope County, Arkansas. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) Region VI evaluated the exercise. The purpose was to assess the level of preparedness of state and local responders to react to a simulated radiological emergency at ANO. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA policies and guidance concerning the implementation of state and local radiological emergency preparedness plans and procedures.
The previous exercise at this site was a Plume Exercise conducted on September 22, 2010. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on October 1, 1980. There have been twenty-two evaluated exercises, including the exercise on April 11, 2012, plus several drills conducted since 1984.
DHS/FEMA Region VI wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the State of Arkansas, Pope, Yell, Logan, Johnson, and Conway Counties, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Forecast Office, KXRJ Radio Station, and surrounding jurisdictions who participated in this 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 they have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants was evident during this exercise.
This report contains the final written evaluation of the biennial exercise. The state and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies, two Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA), one of which was corrected during the exercise, and one Plan Issue identified during the exercise. Also, three previous ARCAs and one Plan Issue were resolved during the exercise.

ISSUE NO.: 01-10-lel-A-03 ISSUE: The radiation survey instruments consisted of two Ludlum Model 2241-3 instruments. Each with four detector probes; Nal scintillation probe model 44-2, pancake probe model 44-9, GM probe with a side window beta/gamma detector model 44-38, and a high range GM probe model 133-7. One of the survey instruments was calibrated on August 2, 2010, with calibration due on August 2, 2011. The other instrument was calibrated on September 1, 2010, with calibration due on September 1, 2011.
Operational checks were performed on each instrument with each detector probe. A label on each instrument identified what each probe should measure when exposed to the source mounted on the side of the instrument. However, there was no range of readings identified on the instrument to assure that the instrument was operating properly when the measured activity was not exactly equal to the corresponding number on the label.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The HP performed operational checks on the probes to make sure they would respond to a Cs-137 radioactive source, which is located on the side of the meter. He compared his readings to the "range of readings" label on the side of each instrument, to make sure the instrument was working correctly.

21
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Arkansas Nuclear One CONDITION: The initial decontamination effort left a large amount of water and waste on the treatment table that increased the potential for a spread of contamination in the treatment room and also would have resulted in contamination survey readings that would have interfered with the readings being taken on the patient.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Inadequate training.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, L. 1; and St. Mary's Regional Medical Center Radiation Accident Plan, Attachment 5 EFFECT: Failing to completely clean the area of the water and waste following each decontamination attempt would leave the contamination in the area of the patient being surveyed. This waste created an increased potential in spreading the contamination to clean areas and it would impact the background readings for surveys.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: The drill was stopped, the controller provided training and the decontamination attempt was successfully redemonstrated following the training.

In addition, NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 indicates that OROs must have the capability to use FMTs within the plume exposure pathway EPZ to detect airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases and radioactive particulate material in the airborne plume. In an incident at an NPP, the possible release of radioactive material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although incident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an incident, it is important to collect field radiological data to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.
Criterion4.a,1: [RESERVED]
4.a.2: Field teams (2 or more) are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiationexposure. (NUREG-O654IFEMA-REP-1, C. 1; H. 12; L.7, 8, 11; J.1O.a)

At 1015 hours0.0117 days <br />0.282 hours <br />0.00168 weeks <br />3.862075e-4 months <br />, While performing a routine inspection/tour ofthe Unit 1 Auxiliary Building, an individual slips and falls near the Spent Fuel Pool coolers. Earlier in the Mndring, Spent Fuel Pool Cooling pump, P40B, had a seal failure which allowed water to run onto the floor. When the individual fell, the back of his head and neck came in contact with some metal piping. The individual has a fracture in the lower left leg and has a bump on the back of the head- Patient was unconscious when discovered[
Upon arrival of the Emergency Medical Team, he is awake but groggy. He is lying supine with his legs and lower back in water from the open pump. Radiation Protection Technicians on the team recognize that the water is contaminated, and secure the scene while patient care is initiated.
The Emergency Medical Team initiates care.of the patient by performing the following:
- 1. Establishing that the scene is safe, noting that contaminated water is present
- 2. Assessing the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation.
- 3. Determine the patient's level of consciousness.
- 4. Move the patient to an adjacent area covered with plastic.
The Emergency Medical Team establishes that:
- 1. The patient is conscious, and that he is able to answer questions as the team prepares to treat him.
- 2. The patient is contaminated due to the water from the pump.
- 3. The patient has a possible fracture of the left leg just above the ankle.
Drill Message:
- Medical controller to Unit 1 Control Room (10:15)
"A person has fallen and is injured near the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool"
