After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On June 19, 2012, a full-scale plume exercise was demonstrated and evaluated for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III. Out-of-Sequence demonstrations were conducted on May 8, 2012. The purpose of the Exercise and Out-of-Sequence demonstrations was to assess the capabilities of State, county, and local jurisdictions to implement Radiological Emergency Plans and Procedures (RERP) to protect the property and lives of residents and transients in the event of an emergency at BVPS.

The findings in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA, Region III Regional Assistance Committee (RAC)

Chairperson, and approved by FEMA Headquarters. These reports are provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and participating states. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency preparedness.

The most recent full-scale exercise at this site was evaluated on April 20, 2010.

There were no Deficiencies, two (2) Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) and no Planning Issues identified as a result of this exercise. Both ARCAs were successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise. One prior Planning Issue was resolved.

FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts'of the many individuals in the State of Pennsylvania, Beaver County (the only risk county in PA) and the four (4) support counties; Allegheny, Butler, Lawrence and Washington, that were evaluated at 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 others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.

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

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ

Description:

BVPS is located in western Pennsylvania on the southern bank of the Ohio River in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The site is located near Shippingport Borough, about 1.5 miles from Midland, Pennsylvania, on 501 acres of fairly level terrace owned by the First Energy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC). The latitude for the site is 40037'18" north; the longitude is 80'26102 west. Two pressurized water reactors are located on the 17 acres of the parcel occupied by the power station. The operating licenses for the facility were granted in July 1976 (Unit 1) and August 1987 (Unit 2); commercial operations began at the site during October 1976 (Unit 1) and November 1987 (Unit 2). Unit 1 generates an output of 810 megawatts (MW); the Unit 2 output is 833: MW. One hundred and ten sirens cover the plume EPZ; 85 of the:sirens are in Pennsylvania.-..

Steep slopes that contributed -to the development of rivermill towns,, where most ofthe industry and residences are located, characterize the general topography of the region. The region is part of the large industrial complex centered around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The terrain rises-from the Ohio River: to a'maximum elevation of 1,160 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Drainage is!

predominantly toward-the river. The soils in the area are made up of alluvial sands and gravel.

The bedrock geology 'consists of sedimentary formations composed of shale and sandstone. No faults are located under or near the facility. The Ohio River is about 664 feet above MSL, and the plant grade is 735 feet above MSL.

The climate is a humid continental type. The average annual temperature for the area is about 50'F. Annual precipitation is approximately 36 inches. The area around the plant is mostly agricultural or undeveloped. The nearest community is Shippingport Borough, Pennsylvania, which is the parent borough for the site and has a population of 237. The nearest major.

population center of more than 25,000 people is Pittsburgh, which has a population of 305,704 and lies 22 miles to the southeast. The maximum population distribution, including residents and transients, is 114,514 in the 10-mile EPZ.

Four major industries employ a total of 8,000 persons within 10 miles of the plant. Two small airfields (Beaver County and Herron Airport) are also in the 10 mile EPZ. Runways at both airports are oriented so that the extensions do not pass over the plant. No major thoroughfares exist in the -immediate vicinity. The main line of the Conrail Railroad runs parallel to the plant along the north bank of the Ohio River.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station 2.2 Exercise Objectives, Capabilities and Activities The objective of the BVPS 2012 Plume Exercise was to demonstrate the capabilities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local emergency management agencies to mobilize emergency management and emergency response personnel, to activate emergency operations centers and support facilities, and to protect the health, fives, and property of the citizens residing within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

To demonstrate the ability to communicate between multiple levels of government and provide timely, accurate, and sufficiently detailed information to the public, the emergency management agencies used: a variety -ofresources including. radios, telephones, the Internet, the media, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and the utility Alert and Notification System (ANS) isirens.. All':

of these communications resources were employed and evaluated. The EAS and ANS was simulated and media information was prepared but not-actually released.

An essential capability of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program- (REPP) is-to evacuate, monitor and decontaminate if necessary, and provide temporary care and shelter to' displaced-residents from the-EPZ. The ability of the counties to mobilize personnel and resources.

to establish reception, monitoring and decontamination, and, mass care centers was demonstrated.

The protection of school children is also a vital mission of the REPP. School districts and selected schools demonstrated the capability to communicate and coordinate the collection, evacuation, transportation and shelter of students attending schools within 'the EPZ. Provisions for students who -live within the EPZ but attend school outside were also evaluated. ..

2.3 Scenario Summary The following is a summary of the postulated events for the Beaver Valley Power Station 2012 Evaluated Exercise. These events did NOT occur. All times are approximate.

The scenario initial conditions have Unit 1 at 100% power, beginning of life (BOL), protected train 'B'. Reactor Coolant System (RCS) activity is 0.18 uCi/ml-with a dose equivalent iodine-131 ofl1.55E-4 uCi/gram. RCS leak rate is 0.01 gpm Identified and 0.00 gpm Unidentified. 'A' quench spray pump [ 1QS-P- 1 A] is OOS for mechanical maintenance. 'C' charging pump [ICH-P-IC] is OOS for relay testing. During clearance posting it-was discovered that the shutter did 19

Unit 2 is at 100% power, end of life (EOL), protected train 'B' An operations crew will be in the Unit 1 Simulator, all drill data for the emergency response facilities will be provided by controllers or by the simulator.

At 1430 the 2012 Beaver Valley Evaluated Exercise will begin.

At 1431 'A' reactor coolant pump (RCP) will experience a temporary spike in both frame and shaft vibration readings. Some minor damage will occur and material from this damage will be circulated through the reactor coolant system (RCS). RCS activity will begin to slowly rise. At 1435 a 20 gpm leak from the RCS into containment begins in an unidentified. location.;This:.

meets the -indfcator for the declaration of a*'Unusual Event undeir EAL 2.5 'Uniiidentifi~d of pressure boundary;RCS 'leakage >10 GPM". An Unusual Event iSdeclared by'1450. "

At 1455 a Higlh alarm on the letdown rnonitor[RM-CH-101A] is receiVed. The crevwwill take an RCS sample and perfonrnradiation surveys in affected spaces. RCS activity will increase and at 1518 will exceed 3.5E5 cpm' on the letdown monitor which meets .the indicator for. the declaration of an'ALERT under EAL12 1.5 "Letdown Monitor Indication - RM-CH-101 A'or B" reading greater than 3.5E5 cpm(300?Ci/ml) with letdown unisolated". An ALERT will be declared by 15331 With the declaration of the ALERT the BVPS Emergency Response Organization will be activated. The Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (OSC) are required to be activated within 60-minutes of the event declaration, or approximately 1633. The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) are staffed. The EOF and JPIC can activate at any time, but the EOF is required to activate within 60-minutes of declaring a Site Area Emergency. Offsite response organizations begin to activate to a predetermined level and schools are notified.

At 1645 'A' RCP seals begin to show signs of deterioration and some seal leakage begins. At 1720 'A' RCP problems progress to the point of exceeding trip criteria for vibration and leakage.

The crew is expected to trip the reactor. Upon initiating a reactor trip the 'A' RCP seal pack fails and a 325 gpm RCS leak into containment begins. The crew is expected to initiate Safety Injection. Upon initiating Safety Injection EDG 1-2 will fail to start. Indicators for a Site Area Emergency for EAL 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 AND 1.2.3 or 1.2.5 are met. A Site Area Emergency should be declared by 1735.

obtain back-up data from theNational Weather Service (simulated) and perform an additional dose assessment calculation. This dose assessment calculation will not result in a* change to the initial Protective Action Recommendation.

If the source of the breach from containment is discovered in a timely manner, repairs can be accomplished to the test connection by 2045. This will secure the source of the release and the plume will dissipate and travel out of the area. , .

At 2100 the 2012 Beaver Valley Evaluated Exercise will end.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station CRITERION: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry, KI, and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans/procedures. Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. Appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers is maintained.

CONDITION: Emergency Workers (EWs) assigned Route Alerting (RA) duties were unable to adequately explain the various radiologica I-exposure limits after receiving a radiological briefing.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: Emergency workers did not fully comprehend the radiological briefing.

REFERENCE:

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.e; K.3.a,b; K.4 EFFECT: The lack of proper training could result in emergency workers receiving unnecessary radiation exposure.

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: RA personnel were re-trained by the EOC Radiological Officer. Subsequently, the RA personnel were able to successfully demonstrate their knowledge of radiological exposure limits during a re-interview. This included basic exposure limits and an understanding of personal protective measures.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The is a full-scale exercise (FSE) designed to establish a learning environment for players to exercise emergency response plans, policies, and procedures as they pertain to Nuclear Power Plant incidents. An FSE is a complex event that requires detailed planning. To conduct an effective exercise, subject matter experts (SMEs) and local representatives from numerous agencies have taken part in the planning process and will take part in exercise c6nduct and evaluation.

This Exercise Plan (ExPlan) was produced at the direction of PEMA and FEMA with the input, advice, and assistance of the EPT. The 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise is eVidence of the growing pditnership between State and local jurisdi~tifofs for fesponse to the threats our Nation and communities face.

Confidentiality The 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise is an unclassifiedexercise. The control of information is based more on public sensitivity regarding the nature of the exercise than on the actual exercise content. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use Of exercise planners, controllers, and evaluators, but players may view other materials deemed necessary to their performance. This ExPlan may be viewed by all exercise participants.

All exercise participants should use appropriate guidelines to ensure the proper control of information within their areas of expertise and protect this material in accordance with current directives.

Public release of exercise materials to third parties is at the discretion of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), PEMA, and the EPT.

Purpose The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate player actions against current response plans and capabilities for a nuclear power plant-related incident, and to comply with the requirements of 44 CFR 350 and the guidelines of NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. Exercise planners utilized the elements described in the 67 FR 20580 (April 25, 2002) and the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (April 2012) to develop this exercise.

The objective of FEMA and PEMA is to demonstrate reasonable assurance that the public can be protected during a nuclear power plant emergency.

Target Capabilities The establishment of the National Preparedness Priorities have steered the focus of homeland security toward a capabilities-based planning approach. Capabilities-based planning focuses on planning under uncertainty, since the next danger or disaster can never be forecast with complete 78 a

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/lmprovement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station accuracy. Therefore, capabilities-based planning takes an all-hazards approach to planning and preparation which builds capabilities that can be applied to a wide variety of incidents. States and Urban Areas use capabilities-based planning to identify a baseline assessment of their homeland security efforts bycomparing their current capabilities against the Target Capabilities List (TCL) and the critical tasks of the Universal Task List (UTL). This approach identifies gaps in current capabilities and focuses efforts on identifying and developing priority capabilities and tasks for the jurisdiction. These priority capabilities are articulated in the jurisdiction's homeland security strategy and Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP), of which this exercise is a component.

The capabilities listed below have been selected by the EPT planning team from the priority capabilities identified in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Multi-Year TEP. These capabilities provide the foundation for development of the exercise objectives and scenario, as the purpose of this exercise is to measure and validate perfolmance of these capabilities anid their associated critical tasks. .

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station CHAPTER 2: EXERCISE LOGISTICS Exercise Summary General The 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise is designed to 'establish a learning environment for players to exercise their plans and procedures for responding to an incident at a Nuclear Power Plant. The 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise will be. conducted during the evening, of June. 1 9 'h. Exercise play, is scheduled to conclude once evaluators deterinine that the exercise objectives have been met. at each venue. Select portions of the exercise will occur out-of-sequence during the evening of June 2 0 th, and the schools, portion of the exercise will be conducted on May 8, 2012. For a full schedule of all exercise events, please referenceAppendix A: Exercise Schedule. .

Assumptions Assumptions constitute the implied factual foundation for the exercise and, hence', are assumed to be present before the start of the exercise. The following general assumption's 'apply to the 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise

  • The exercise will be, graded against the REP criteria. Elements outside the scope of the REP criteria will not be graded.

, This exercise Will be conducted .in a no-fault learning environment wherein systems and processes, not individuals, will be evaluated.

  • Exercise simulation will be realistic and plausible, containing sufficient detail from which to respond.
  • Exercise players will, react to the information and situations as they are presented, in the same manner as if this had been a real event.

Constructs and Constraints "

Constructs are exercise devices. designed to enhance or improve exercise realism. Alternatively, constraints are exercise limitations that may detract from exercise realism. Constraints may be the inadvertent result of a faulty construct or may pertain to financial and staffing issues.

Although there are a number of constructs and constraints (also known as exercise artificialities) for any exercise, the EPT recognizes and accepts the following as necessary:

Exercise communication and coordination will be limited to the participating exercise venues and the Simulation Cell (SimCell).

  • Only' those communication methods listed in the Communication Directory will be available for players to use during the exercise.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station

" Out-of-Sequence play is allowed.

  • Certain simulations are allowed.

The participating agencies may need to balance exercise play with real-world emergencies. It is understood that real-world emergencies will take priority.

Exercise Participants The following are the categories of participants involved in this exercise; note that the term "participant" refers to all categories listed below, not just those playing in the exercise:

  • Players: Players are agency personnel who have an active role in responding to the simulated emergency and perform their regular roles and responsibilities during the exercise. Players initiate 'actions that will respond to and mitigate the simulated "emergency.
  • Controllers. Controllers set up and operate the exercise site; plan and manage exercise play; act in the roles of response individuals and agencies not playing in the exercise.

Controllers direct the pace of exercise play and routinely include memb'ers from the exercise planning team. They provide key data to players -and may or initiate certain player actions to ensure exercise continuity.

  • Simulators. Simulators are control staff personnel who role-play as nonparticipating organizations or individuals. They most often operate out of the SimCell, but may occasionally have face-to-face contact with players. Simulators futction semi-independently under the supervision of SimCell controllers, enacting roles (e.g.; as media

-reporters or next of kin) in accordance with instructions provided in the Master Scenario Events List (MSEL). All simulators are ultimately accountable to.the Exercise Director and/or the Senior Controller.

Evaluators. Evaluators are chosen to evaluate and provide feedback on a designated functional area of the exercise. They are chosen based on their expertise in the functional area(s) they have been assigned to review during the exercise and their familiarity with local emergency response procedures. Evaluators assess and document participants' performance against established emergency plans and exercise evaluation criteria, in accordance with HSEEP standards and within the bounds of REP Program guidance and regulations. They are typically chosen from amongst planning committee members or the agencies/organizations that are participating in. the exercise. FEMA Evaluators will not serve as Controllers.

Actors. Actors are exercise participants who act or simulate specific roles during exercise play. They are typically volunteers who have been recruited to play the role of victims or other bystanders.

Observers. Observers visit or view selected segments of the exercise. Observer-s do not

,play in the exercise, and do not perform any control or evaluation functions. Observers will view the exercise from a designated observation area and will be asked to remain 81-

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station

  • within the observation area during the exercise. VIPs are a type of observer, but are frequently grouped separately. A dedicated group of exercise Controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.
  • Media Personnel. Some media personnel may be present as observers pending approval by the appropriate EMA personnel and exercise support team members. Media interaction may also be simulated by the SimCell to enhance realism and meet related exercise objectives. A dedicated group of exercise controllers should be assigned to manage these groups.
  • Support Staff. Exercise support staff includes individuals who are assigned administrative and logistical, support tasks during the exercise (i.e. registration, catering, etc.

Exercise Tools "

Controller Handbook .

The 2012 Beaver, Valley Power Station REP Exercise Controller Handbook is designed to help exercise Controllers conduct and evaluate an effective exercise. This Handbook also enables Controllers to understand their roles and responsibilities in exercise- execution and evaluation.

Should a, Player; 'Observer, or media representative find an unattended Handbook, it should be provided to the nearest Controller or Evaluator. The Controller Handbook will be limited to the PEMA Lead Controller.

Master Scenario Events List The MSEL outlines benchmarks that will occur during the exercise. Injects will not be included in the MSEL for the Plume portion of the 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise because all injects will be driven by events that occur in the Simulator onsite at the Beaver Valley Power Station.

Exercise Implementation Exercise Play Exercise play will begin in the afternoon of June 1 9 th with a situation update going to each participating venue. Play will proceed according to the events outlined in the MSEL, in accordance with established plans and procedures. The exercise will conclude upon the completion of operations and attainment of the exercise objectives, as determined by the FEMA evaluators.

Exercise Rules The following are the general rules that govern exercise play:

  • Real-world emergency actions take priority over exercise actions.
  • Exercise participants will comply with real-world response procedures, unless otherwise directed by control staff.

82 a

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station

  • All communications (written, radio, telephone, etc.) made during the exercise will begin and end with the phrase, "This is an exercise."
  • All observers of the exercise will not participate or provide input into exercise play.

Exercise participants placing telephone calls or initiating radio communication with the SimCell must identify the organization, agency, office, and/or individual with whom they wish to speak.

Safety Requirements General Exercise participant safety takes priority over exercise events. Although the organizations involved in the 2012 Beaver Valley Power Station REP Exercise come from various response agencies, they share the basic responsibility for ensuring a safe environment for all pei-sonieii involved in the exercise. In addition, aspects of an emergency response. are dangerous:

Professional health and safety ethics should guide all participants to operate in their assigned roles in the' safest manner possible. The following general requirements apply to'the exercise:

All exercise controllers, evaluators, and staff-will serve as safety observers while the

  • exercise activities are underway. Any safety concerns must be. immediately reported t6 the; Lead Controller.,

Participants will be responsible for their own and each other's safety during theexercise.

It is the responsibility of all persons associated with the exercise to stop play if, in. their.

opinion, a real safety problem exists. Once the problem is corrected, exercise play can be restarted.

All organizations will comply with their respective environmental, health, and safety plans and procedures, as well as the appropriate Federal, State, and local environmental health and safety regulations.

Exercise Setup Exercise setup involves the pre-staging and dispersal of exercise materials; including registration materials, documentation, signage, and other equipment as appropriate.

Accident Reporting and Real Emergencies

  • Anyone observing a participant who is seriously ill or injured will first advise the nearest controller, then if possible, render aid, provided the aid does not exceed his or her training.
  • The controller who is made aware of a real emergency will initiate the broadcast "Real-World Emergency" on the controller radio network, providing the following information to the Senior Controller and Exercise Director:

83

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station o Venue/function o Location within the venue/function o Condition o Requirements

  • The SimCell will be notified as soon as possible if a real emergency occurs.
  • If the nature of the emergency requires a suspension of the exercise at the venue/function, all exercise activities at that facility will immediately cease. Exercise play may resume at that venue/function once the "Real-World Emergency" situation has been addressed.
  • Exercise play at other venue/functions should not cease if one venue/function has declared a "Real-World Emergency" unless they are reliant on the affected venue.
  • If a real emergency occurs that affects the entire exercise, the exercise may be suspended or :terminated at. the discretion of the Exercise Director, and Senior Controller. The notification will, be made from the SimCell.

Site Access Observer Coordination Each organization with observers will coordinate with PEMA, FEMA, the utility, and the facility owner for access to-the exercise site (s). Observers will be escorted to an observation area for orientation and, conduct of the exercise. All observers will be asked to remain-within the designated observation area during the exercise. PEMA and/or utility representatives will be present to explain the exercise program and answer questions for the observers during the exercise.

Exercise Identification Identification badges may be issued to exercise staff. All exercise personnel and observers will be identified by badges distributed by the staff from each participating agency.

Communications Plan Exercise Start, Suspension, and Termination Instructions The exercise is scheduled to run until the FEMA evaluators determine that the exercise objectives have been met. FEMA evaluators will work with PEMA through the State Emergency Operations Center to disseminate termination instructions to exercise participants.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station Player Communication Players will use routine, in-place agency communication systems. Additional communication assets may be made available as the exercise progresses. The need to maintain capability for a real-world response may preclude the use of certain communication' channels or systems that would usually be available for an actual emergency incident. In no instance will exercise communication interfere with real-world emergency communications. Each venue will coordinate its own internal communication networks and channels.

The primary means*of communication among the SimCell, Controllers, -and the venues will be telephone. A list of key telephone and fax numbers, and radio call signs will be available as a Communication Directory before the Start of the exercise.

Player Briefing. .

Controllers/Evaluators- may be -required"to'read specific scenario details to the participants to begin exercise play. They may also have technical handouts or other materialst0 give to players in order to better orient them to the exercise environment.

Public Affairs This exercise enables Players to demonstrate an increased readiness to deal with a nuclear power plant incident. Any nuclear power plant exercise may be a newsworthy event. Special .attention mustbe given to the needs of the media, allowing'them to get as complete and accurate a story as' possible while ensuring their activities do not compromise- the exercise realism, safety, or objectives. /

FEMA, PEMA, and the utility are responsible for disseminating public information in advance of the exercise.

12. General Concepts An emergency plan is drafted to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency. Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario.

The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.

13. Re-demonstrations During -the exercise any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants during the exercise provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise. Refresher training can be provided by the players, observers, 101

INTENT This Sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, which requires that OROs have emergency equipment and supplies adequate to support the emergency response.

Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion is accomplished primarily through a baseline evaluation and subsequent periodic inspections.

ASSESSMENT / EXTENT OF PLAY A particular facility's equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with that facility's assigned role in the ORO's emergency operations plans. Use of maps and other displays is encouraged. For non-facility-based operations, the equipment and supplies must be sufficient and consistent with the assigned operational role. At locations where traffic and access control personnel are deployed, appropriate equipment (e.g., vehicles, barriers, traffic cones, and signs) must be available, or their availability described.

Specific equipment and supplies that must be demonstrated under this criterion include KI inventories, dosimetry, and monitoring equipment, as follows:

KI: Responsible OROs must demonstrate the capability to maintain inventories of KI sufficient for use by: (1) emergency workers; (2) institutionalized individuals, as indicated in capacity lists for facilities; and (3) where stipulated by the plans/procedures, members of the general public (including transients) within the plume pathway EPZ. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make KI available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures). The plans/procedures must include the forms to be used for documenting emergency worker ingestion of KI, as well as a mechanism for identifying emergency workers that have declined KI in advance. Consider carefully the placement of emergency workers that have declined KI in advance.

ORO quantities of dosimetry and KI available and storage locations(s) will be confirmed by physical inspection at the storage location(s) or through documentation of current inventory submitted during the exercise, provided in the ALC submission, and/or verified during an SAV.

Available supplies of KI must be within the expiration date indicated on KI bottles or blister packs. As an alternative, the ORO may produce a letter from a certified private or state laboratory indicating that the KI supply remains potent, in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia standards. 109 K

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station Dosimetry: Sufficient quantities of appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry and dosimeter chargers must be available for issuance to all emergency workers who will be dispatched to perform an ORO mission. In addition, OROs must demonstrate provisions to make dosimetry available to specialized response teams (e.g., civil support team, Special Weapons and Tactics Teams, urban search and rescue, bomb squads, HAZMAT, or other ancillary groups) as identified in plans/procedures).

Appropriate direct-reading dosimetry must allow an individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits and maximum exposure limits contained in the ORO's plans/procedures.

Direct-reading dosimeters must be zeroed or operationally checked prior to issuance. The dosimeters must be inspected for electrical leakage at least annually and replaced when necessary. Civil Defense Victoreen Model 138s (CD V-138s) (0-200 mR), due to their documented history of electrical leakage problems, must be inspected for electrical leakage at least quarterly' and replaced whein necessary. This leakage testing will be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an'SAV.-.

Operational checks and testing of electronic dosimeters must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and be verified during the exercise, through documentation submitted in the ALC and/or through an SAV.

Monitoring Instruments: All instruments must be inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked before each use. Instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Unmodified CDV-700 series instruments and other instruments without a manufacturer's recommendation must be calibrated annually. Modified CDV-700 instruments must be calibrated in accordance with the recommendation of the modification manufacturer. A label indicating such calibration must be on each instrument or calibrated frequency can be verified by other means. In addition, instruments being used to measure activity must have a sticker-affixed to their sides indicating the effective range of the readings. The range of readings documentation specifies the acceptable range of readings that the meter should indicate when it is response-checked using a standard test source.

For FMTs, the instruments must be capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and detecting beta radiation. These instruments must be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, including radiological protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the ORO's plans/procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source must be used to verify proper operational response for each low-range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1R/hr) and for high-range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high-range instrument, a procedure must exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high-range instrument can make useful readings.

In areas where portal monitors are used, the OROs must set up and operationally check the monitor(s). The monitor(s) must conform to the standards set forth in the Contamination Monitoring Standardfor a Portal Monitor Used for Emergency Response, FEMA-REP-21 (March 1995) or in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

(NUREG-0654, K.4, J.10. 'e, f)

INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that, Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to assess and control the radiation exposure received by emergency workers and have a decision chain in place, as specified in the ORO's plans and procedures, to authoriie'emergency worker exposure limits to be exceeded for specific missions.

Radiation exposure limits for emergency workers are the recommended accumulated dose limits or exposure rates emergency workers may be permitted to incur during an emergency. These limits include any pre-established administrative reporting limits (that take into consideration Total Effective Dose Equivalent or organ-specific limits) identified in the ORO's plans and procedures.

EXTENT OF PLAY OROs authorized to send emergency workers into the plume exposure pathway EPZ should demonstrate a capability to meet the criterion based on their emergency plans and procedures.

Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to make decisions concerning the authorization of exposure levels in excess of pre-authorized levels and to the number of emergency workers receiving~radiation dose above pre-authorized levels.

(NUREG-0654, 1.8, 10 and Supplement 3)

INTENT This sub-element derives from NUJREG-0654,, which, proyides that, Offsite Response Organizations., (ORO) have the capability to use all available data -to.independently project integrated dose and compare the estimated dose savings with the -protective action guides.. OROs, have the capability to choose, among a range of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency. situation. OROs base these choices on. PAGs from the ORO's plans and procedures or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective, action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with, other political jurisdictions (for example, other affected OROs), ayailability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions, and situations that create higher than normal risk from evacuation.

EXTENT OF PLAY During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant offsite protective -actions, the ORO should demonstrate the capability to use appropriate means, described in the plan and/or procedures, to develop protective action recommendations (PARs) for decision-makers . based on available information , and recommendations from the licensee and field monitoring data, if available.... ,

When the licensee provides release and meteorological data, the ORO also considers these data.

The ORO should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections. The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support the PARs appropriate to the scenario. In all cases, calculation of projected dose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units -ofthe PAGs to which they will be compared. PARs should be promptly transmitted to decision-makers in a prearranged format.

Differences greater than a factor of 10 between projected doses by the licensee and the ORO should be discussed with the licensee with respect to the input data and assumptions used, the use of different models, or other possible reasons. Resolution of these differences should be incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The ORO should demonstrate the capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING Sub-element 2.c - Protective Action Decisions Consideration for the Protection of Special Populations Criterion 2.c.1: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups. (NUREG-0654, J.9, J.10.d,e)

INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) should have the capability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation, sheltering and use of potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for special population groups (for example, hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools, licensed day care 'centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release from a nuclear power plant.

EXTENT OF PLAY Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs, except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, examples of factors that should be considered are weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacuation vs. risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary school evacuations. In situations where an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of KI should be considered by the OROs.

Applicable OROs should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all public school systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contacts with public school systems/districts must be actual.

In accordance with plans and/or procedures, OROs and/or officials of public school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students. Officials should demonstrate that the decision making process for protective actions considers (that is, either accepts automatically or gives heavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by ORO personnel, the ECL at which these recommendations are received, preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL, and the location of students at the time (for example, whether the students are still at home, en route to the school, or at the school).

All decision-making activities associated with protective actions, including consideration of available resources, for special population groups must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Emergency workers periodically and at the end of each mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. OROs maintain appropriate record-keeping of the administration of KI to emergency workers. (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, J.10.e; K.3.a, b; K.4)

INTENT Siub-element: is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP- 1, which requires that OROs have the capability to provide for the following: distribution, use, collection, and processing of direct-reading dosimetry* and -permanent record dosimetry; reading -of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at appropriate frequencies; maintaining a radiation dose record for each emergency worker; establishing a decision chain or authorization procedure for emergency workers to, incur radiation exposures in excess of the PAGs, and the capability'to provide KI for emergency workers, alway§ applying the as low as is reasonably achievable principle, as appropriate. "

ASSESSMENT / EXTENT OF PLAY Assessment of this Demonstration Criterion may be accomplished during a full-scale, functional or tabletop exercise. Other means may include drills, seminars or training activities that would fully demonstrate technical proficiency.

OROs must demonstrate the capability to provide emergency workers (including supplemental resources) with the appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, KI, and instructions on the use of these items. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows an individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of TEDE and maximum exposure limits, for those emergency workers involved in lifesaving activities, contained in the ORO's plans/procedures.

Each emergency worker must have basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits as specified in the ORO's plans/procedures. If supplemental resources are used, they must be provided with just-in-time training to ensure basic knowledge of radiation exposure control. Emergency workers must demonstrate procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and manage radiological exposure control.

During a plume phase exercise, emergency workers must demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure limits and turn-back values are reached. The emergency 118 a

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Beaver Valley Power Station worker must report accumulated exposures during the exercise as indicated, in the plans/procedures. OROs must demonstrate the actions described in the plans/procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, authorize the worker to incur additional exposures, or take other actions. If exercise play does not require emergency workers to seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators must interview at least two. workers to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in case authorization is needed, and at what exposure levels. Workers may use any available resources (e.g., written procedures and/or coworkers) in providing responses.

Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, there may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each other during the entire mission. In such cases, adequate control of exposure can. be achieved for all team members using one direct-reading dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers assigned to low-exposure rate fixed facilities (e.g., EOCs and communications center within the EPZ, reception centers, and counting laboratories) may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored using group dosimetry (i.e., direct-reading dosimeters, strategically placed in the work area). Each team member must still have his or her own permanent record dosimetry. Individuals authorized by the ORO. to reenter an evacuated area during the plume (emergency) phase, must be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with completing their missions.

OROs may have administrative limits lower than EPA-400-R-92-001 dose limits for emergency workers performing yarious services (e.g., life saving, protection of valuable property, all activities). OROs must ensure that the process used to seek authorization for exceeding dose limits does not negatively impact the capability to respond to an incident where life saving and/or protection of valuable property may require an urgent response.

OROs must demonstrate the capability to accomplish distribution of KI to emergency workers consistent with decisions made. OROs must have the capability to develop and maintain lists, of emergency workers who have ingested KI, including documentation of the date(s) and time(s).

Although accident assessment methods are available to project the extent and magnitude of a release, these methods are subject to large uncertainties. During an accident, it is important to collect field radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release. Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.

EXTENT OF PLAY Responsible Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) should demonstrate the capability to brief teams on predicted plume location and direction, travel speed, and exposure control procedures before deployment.

Field measurements are needed to help characterize the release and to support the adequacy of implemented protective actions or to be a factor in modifying protective actions. Teams should be directed to take measurements in such locations, at such times to provide information sufficient to characterize the plume and impacts.

If the responsibility to obtain peak measurements in the plume has been accepted by licensee field monitoring teams, with concurrence from OROs, there is no requirement for these measurements to be repeated by State and local monitoring teams. If the licensee teams do not obtain peak measurements in the plume, it is the ORO's decision as to whether peak measurements are necessary to sufficiently characterize the plume. The sharing and coordination of plume measurement information among all field teams (licensee, federal, and ORO) is essential.

Coordination concerning transfer of samples, including a chain-of-custody form, to a radiological laboratory should be demonstrated.

Backup alert and notification of the public is completed within 45 minutes following the detection by the ORO of a failure of the primary alert and notification system. (NUREG-0654, E. 6, Appendix 3.B.2.c)

INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-1, which provides that OROs should have the capability to provide prompt instructions to the public within the plume pathway EPZ.

Specific provisions addressed in this sub-element are derived from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.1V.D.) and FEMA-REP-10, "Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification systems for Nuclear Power Plants."

EXTENT OF PLAY Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) with FEMA-approved exception areas (identified in the approved Alert and Notification System Design Report) 5-10 miles from the nuclear power plant should demonstrate the capability to accomplish primary alerting and notification of the exception area(s) within 45 minutes following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The 45-minute clock will begin when the OROs make the decision to activate the alert and notification system for the first time for a specific emergency situation. The initial message should, at a minimum, include: a statement that an emergency exists at the plant and where to obtain additional information.

For exception area alerting, at least one route needs to be demonstrated and evaluated. The selected route(s) should vary from exercise to exercise. However, the most difficult route should be demonstrated at least once every six years. All alert and notification activities along the route should be simulated (that is, the message that would actually be used is read for the evaluator, but not actually broadcast) as agreed upon in the extent of play. Actual testing of the mobile public address system will be conducted at some agreed-upon location.

Backup alert and notification of the public should be completed within 45 minutes following the detection by the ORO of a failure of the primary alert and notification system. Backup route alerting only needs to be demonstrated and evaluated, in accordance with the ORO's plan and/or procedures and the extent of play agreement, if the exercise scenario calls for failure of any portion of the primary system(s), or if any portion of the primary system(s) actually fails to function. If demonstrated, only one route needs to be selected and demonstrated. All alert and notification activities along the route should be simulated (that is, the message that would 135
