Dear Mr. Collins:
I am forwarding a copy of the Final After Action Report for the biennial Evacuee Monitoring and Decontamination, Reception and Care Center Exercise held on May 7, 2013, for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS). The purpose of this exercise was to assess the level of state and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This final exercise report was prepared in coordination with the PVNGS Offsite Response Organizations.
Based on the evaluation of the May 7, 2013 exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans for the state of Arizona and the affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to PVNGS, can be implemented, and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken off-site to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at PVNGS.
Therefore, the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 44 § 350 approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the state of Arizona, site-specific to PVNGS, will remain in effect.
I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the many individuals that participated in this successful exercise. Their dedication to this program was clearly evident.

Exercise on May 7, 2013 for the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise followed FEMA's policies and guidance for exercising State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.
The most recent biennial exercise at this site occurred on March 6, 2013. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on April 1, 1981.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additionally assigned responsibility for others.; Stilli others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork was evident among all the participants during this exercise.
The local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them during the exercise. There were no Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified as a result of this exercise. There were no uncorrected ARCAs from previous exercises. Two plan issues from the previous exercise were corrected and successfully demonstrated. No new plan issues, identifying areas for improvement, were identified in this exercise.

After Action ReportIniprovement Plan Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station 2.3 Scenario Summary The 2013 PVNGS RCC Exercise demonstrated evacuee monitoring, decontamination and temporary care for evacuees that were a result of response activities initiated in the Plume Phase Full Scale Exercise on March 6, 2013. This exercise scenario involved both onsite and offsite response to a release of radiological materials from PVNGS.
A summary of the PVNGS scenario is as follows:
At 0730, a SEISMIC EVENT occurred. Unit I control room staff felt ground motion and received a Seismic Alarm which by procedure directs the control room staff to 'validate' the alarm. The control room staff contacted the U.S. Geological Survey for further information. Following validation, at approximately 0736 an Unusual Event was declared. There was no release in progress and no Protective Action Recommendations or Decisions were made. Offsite notifications were initiated. The State and county received the notification but no further actions weire taken.
At 0758, an aftershock shock occurred resulting in a steam generator tube rupture and an unisolatable leak of radioactive materials to the environment was initiated. There was a loss of offsite power and a subsequent reactor trip. At approximately 0828, a Site Area Emergency was declared. This event initiated a minor release of radioactive materials that exceeded federally approved limits but did not exceed protective action guides. The utility initiated notifications to the offsite response organizations and made an initial Protective Action Recommendation to Shelter to a 2-mile radius. The State, in response to the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, alerted, notified and mobilized their emergency response organizations and activated all the offsite emergency response facilities. The State concurred with the utility's protective action recommendation but also added shelter from two to ten miles in downwind sectors E, F and G and evacuate Arlington School to the reception and congregate care center at Wickenburg High School.
A series of events occurred onsite further degrading plant conditions and increasing the release rate. At approximately 1030, a second aftershock occurred. The release rate increased. Dose projections indicated Protective Action Guides were exceeded. A dose assessment revealed that doses greater than 5,000 mrem Thyroid CDE were at or beyond the site boundary. The utility made a recommendation to evacuate 2-mile radius and 2-5 miles in Sectors E, F & G. The State made a Protective Action Decision to evacuate the 2-mile radius and Sectors E, F & G to 10 miles.
The 2013 PVNGS RCC Exercise demonstrated evacuee monitoring, decontamination and temporary care for evacuees as a result of the Protective Action Decision to evacuate Arlington School and the public that was at risk.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REPP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station The following are classifications of the types of issues that are discussed in this report:
A Deficiency is defined in the FEMA April 2012, REP Program Manual as "An observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an .exercise that could cause a finding that offsite 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."
An ARCA is defined in the FEMA April 2012, 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."
A Plan Issue is defined in the FEMA April 2012, REP Program Manual as "An observed or identified inadequacy in the ORO's emergency plan/procedures, rather than in the ORO's performance."
FEMA has developed a standardized system for numbering issues. 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 and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
- a. Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
- b. Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
- c. Evaluation Area Criterion - A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP Exercise Evaluation Methodology.
- d. Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A ARCA, P = Plan)
- e. Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station 3.3 Criteria Evaluation Summaries 3.3.1 Risk Jurisdictions 3.3.1.1 Wickenburg High School Reception & Care Center The offsite response organizations at the Wickenburg High School Reception and Care Center demonstrated the National Preparedness Goal Core Capabilities-for Environmental Response Health and Safety, Mass Care Services, On-Scene Security and Protection and Public Health and Medical Services. Environmental Response Health and Safety was demonstrated by controlling the emergency worker's radiological exposure and by monitoring radiological contamination on evacuees. Decontamination procedures for evacuees and emergency workers also supported this Core Capability. Mass Care Service was demonstrated at the First Southern Baptist Church, an American Red Cross shelter, in coordination with Maricopa County agencies.
On-Scene Security and Protection was demonstrated by an orderly process for evacuee monitoring, decontamination and temporary care of evacuee needs for shelter and other emergency resources. Areas for contaminated evacuees were clearly separated from the areas for evacuees who had been surveyed as not contaminated. Contamination was strictly controlled. At the mass care shelter, evacuees were required to show that they had been surveyed as not contaminated or had been successfully decontaminated prior to entry into the shelter. The offsite response organizations demonstrated the capability to track contaminated vehicles and identify vehicle owners, closing the previous plan issue 45-11-6al-P-3. Tent shelters were set up for evacuees and portal monitors to prevent heat stroke and facilitate the monitoring operation, closing the previous plan issue 45-11-6al-P-4.
All activities were based on the plans and procedures and completed as they would have been in an actual emergency, except as noted in the Extent of Play agreement.
In summary, the status of DHS/FEMA criteria for this location is as follows:
- a. MET: L.a. 1, 1.d. 1, 1.e. 1, 3.a. 1, 3.b. 1, 6.a. 1, 6.c. I
- b. AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: None
