Dear Ms. Haney:

Enclo~d is a copy of the final exercise report for the February 14, 2018 St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant plume exposure pathway exercise. This report addresses the evaluation of the plans and preparedness for the State of Florida and Martin, St. Lucie, Brevard, Indian River and Palm Beach Counties.

• In the event of an incident at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, the State of Florida and Martin and St. Lucie Counties will send decision makers to Florida Power and Light's Emergency Operations Facility to coordinate theifresponses. This unique arrangement allows for the rapid exchange ofinfonnation with the utility and prompt decision making by State and local officials.

This successful exercise demonstrated the State and counties' commitment IQ public health and safety. The federal evaluation team did not identify any level I or level 2 findings during the e~ercise. This report \VBS prepared by t~e FEMA R,egion IV REP staff.

• Based on the results of the February 14, 2018, exercise and our review of Florida's 2017 Annual Letter of for Certification, the offsite radiological *emergenty response plans and procedures the" Staie of Florida. and the appropriate local jurisdictions *site~specific to the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant can be implemented and are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken offsite to protect the' health and safety of the*public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.* Therefore,* the Title 44 CF~ Part 350, approval of the c;,ffsite radiological emergency response plan~ and preparedness site-specific lo the St. Lucie Nucleiy- Poi.ver Plant granted on February 15, 1984, will ~mai~ in effect. . . . *.

RadiologicalEmergency Preparedness Program After Action Report 2018 St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant Executive Summary On February 14, 2018, the United States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program staff evaluated a plume exposure pathway exercise in the 10-mile emergency planning zone for the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. The evaluations of out of sequence activities conducted during the weeks of November 7th, January 9th, January 29th and February 26th are included in this report. The out-of-sequence activities included the evaluation of medical services drills, traffic and access control, emergency worker monitoring and decontamination and reception centers.

The St. Lucie Nuclear Plant is located on Hutchinson Island, approximately 4 miles east-northeast of the City of Port St. Lucie. This facility is owned and operated by the Florida Power

& Light Company. Parts of St. Lucie and Martin counties lie within the 10-mile plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone. Indian River, Brevard, and Palm Beach counties have agreed to host evacuees from the 10-mile emergency planning zone, should evacuation be necessary.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's overall objective of the exercise was to assess.

the level of state and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency at the St.

Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. The Federal Emergency Management Agency evaluated the exercise in accordance with their policies and guidance concerning the exercise of state and local radiological emergency response plans and procedure*s. The quaiifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on February 10-12, 1982.

Officials and representatives from participating agencies and organizations demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and successfully implemented them during the exercise.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency wishes to acknowledge the efforts and hard work of the many individuals who participated in the success of this exercise. The competence and collaboration of the participants was evident throughout all the phases of the exercise.

Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program After Action Report *, 2018 St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant Section 2: Exercise Design Summary 2.1 Exercise Purpose and Design The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program pursuant to the regulations found in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations parts 350,351,352,353, and 354. Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations part 350 codifies sixteen planning standards that form the basis for radiological emergency response planning for state, tribal, and local governments impacted by the emergency planning zones established for each nuclear power plant site in the United States.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations also codify the sixteen planning standards for the licensee. Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations part 350 sets forth the mechanisms for the formal review and approval of state, tribal, and local government radiological emergency response plans and procedures by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. One of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program cornerstones established by these regulations is the biennial exercise of offsite response capabilities.

During these exercises, affected state, tribal, and local governments demonstrate their abilities to implement their plans and procedures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the nuclear plant.

The results of this exercise, together with review of the radiological emergency response plans, and verification of the *periodic requirements: set fdrth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, along with supplements through the annual letter of certification and staff assistance visits, enabled the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide a statement with the transmission of this final after action report to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that the affected state, tribal, and local plans and preparedness are: (1) adequate to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the nuclear power facility by providing reasonable assurance that appropriate protective measures can be taken offsite in the event of a radiological emergency; and (2) capable of being implemented.

The State of Florida formally submitted the Radiological Emergency Response Plans for the St Lucie Nuclear Power Plant to the Federal Emergency Management Ag~ncy, Region IV on August 26, 1983. The Federal Emergency Management Agency approved the plans pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations 350 on February 15, 1984.

2.2 Exercise Core Capabilities and Objectives Capabilities-based planning allows for exercise planning teams to develop exercise objectives and observe exercise outcomes through a framework of specific action items that were derived from the National Preparedness Goal's Core Capabilities. Using the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation program methodology, the exercise objectives meet the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program requirements and encompass the emergency preparedness evaluation areas. The critical tasks to be I

On Scene Security, Protection and Law Enforcement: Ensure a safe and secure environment through.Iaw enforcement and related.security and protection operations for people and communities located within the affected areas and also for response personnel performing lifesaving and life-sustaining operations.

Critical Transportation: Provide transportation (including infrastructure access and accessible transportation services) for response priority objectives, including the evacuation of people and animals, and the delivery of vital response personnel, equipment, and services into the affected areas.

Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Medical Services: Provide lifesaving medical treatment via Emergency Medical Services and related operations and avoid additional disease and injury by providing targeted public health, medical and behavioral health support, and products to all affected populations.

Using the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program methodology, the exercise objectives meet the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program requirements and encompass the program's emergency preparedness evaluation areas.

The objectives for this exercise were as follows:

The Florida Division of Emergency Management staff demonstrated the ability to:

effectively coordinate and respond to a radiological emergency at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The deputy chief of operations at the-state warning point received the initial emergency notification fromthe plant and rapidly notified senior staff members. They also notified the Bureau of Radiation Protection and ensured that the, impacted risk county emergency management staff had received notification. Staffing consisted of

• multiple state agencies organized by emergency.suppoff function: :Jhe*state emergency response team, under the direction of the operations section chiefrapidly assessed the
