- 1. Executive Summary On June 20, 2007, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 1 0-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Byron Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMAs policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.
The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on July 20, 2005. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 15, 1983.
DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois the risk counties of Ogle and Winnebago participated along with the State Government.
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 on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
This Final Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities: Illinois State Police (ISP)
Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing, ISP Traffic and Access Control Point at the ISP District 1 Headquarters, Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2), Monitoring and Decontamination of Evacuees and Emergency Workers, Decontamination of Emergency Workers Equipment, Public Registration and Congregate Care Center. The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them.

- 2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 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.
The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for DHSlFEMA's initial and continued approval of State and local governments'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.
DHSIFEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:
Taking the lead in off-site emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; 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 Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:
-U.S. Department of Agriculture;
-U.S. Department of Commerce;
-U.S. Department of Energy;
-U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services;
-U.S.
Department of the Interior; 3
-U.S. Department of Transportation;
-U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
-U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and
-U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.
Formal submission of the RERPs for the Byron Station to FEMA Region V by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on March 28, 1982. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on September 12, 1984, under 44 CFR 350.
A REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on June 20, 2007, and evaluated by DHS/FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Byron Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by the DHSlFEMA Headquarters.
The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-lI Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980; FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991; and FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice" as published in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.

- 3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the June 20, 2007, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Byron Station. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the IO-mile Emergency Planning Zone and a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
3.1. EPZ Description The Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, is located on a 1,288-acre site in Rockville Township, approximately 3.7 miles south-southwest of the City of Byron and 2.2 miles east of the Rock River in Ogle County, Illinois. The site is situated approximately in the center of the county in a predominantly agricultural area, with cash grain crops of corn and soybeans.
The plume pathway EPZ consists of a circle with the Byron Station as the center point.
The EPZ extends approximately 10 miles outward in all directions from the Byron Station. In the event of a serious accident at the Byron Station, the plume exposure EPZ will be the area in which intensive efforts will be made to notify and protect residents and transient populations from exposure to radiation. This EPZ includes Ogle County, a small portion of Winnebago County and the following municipalities: Byron, Oregon, Stillman Valley, Leaf River, Mount Morris, and Davis Junction.
The population distribution in the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Byron Station is relatively low. Based on the 2000 census, the City of Byron has a population of 2,917, Oregon has a population of 4,060, Stillman Valley has a population of 1,048, Leaf River has a population of 555, Mount Morris has a population of 3,013, and Davis Junction has a population of 491; for a total of 12,084 residents. The 10 Sub-areas (Numbered: 10, 12, 14, 17, 23, 25, 27, 28, 39 and 40) located in the Byron Station EPZ have a total population of 27,297 per the 2000 census.
Recreational facilities outside the municipalities include the 273-acre Lowden Memorial State Park located three and one-half miles southwest of the Byron Station. This park has facilities for hiking, camping, picnicking, boating and fishing. The 1,800-acre Castle 6
Rock State Park and Nature Preserve is located seven miles south-southwest of the Byron Station. This park has facilities for picnicking, fishing, boating, and hiking along the 600-acre Nature Preserve. The 2,225-acre Lowden-Miller State Forest is approximately six and one-half miles southwest of the Byron Station. This facility has trails for hiking (year-round), skiing (seasonal) and hunting (October to December; 40 hunters per day).
I Major transportation facilities in the Byron Station EPZ are limited to Illinois Route 72, three and one-half miles north of the station, Illinois Route 2, two and one-half miles west of the station, and Illinois Route 64, four and one-half miles south of the station.
Three rail lines also run through the Byron Station EPZ: the Illinois and Missouri (I & M)
Rail Link line is four and one-half miles north of the station, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company line is five and one-half miles south of the station, and the Illinois Railnet line is nine and one-half miles east of the station.

Exercise Evaluation and Results Contained in this section are the results and findings of the evaluation of all jurisdictions and functional entities that participated in the June 20, 2007, REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities of State and local governments in the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Byron Station.
Each jurisdiction and functional entity was evaluated based on its demonstration of exercise criteria delineated in Federal Register Notice: Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002. Detailed information on the exercise criteria and the extent of play agreement used in this exercise are found in Appendix 3 of this report.
4.1. Summary Results of Exercise Evaluation The matrix presented in Table 2, on the following page(s), presents the status of all exercise criteria from Federal Register Notice: Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002, which were scheduled for demonstration during this exercise by all participating jurisdictions and functional entities. Exercise criteria are listed by number and the demonstration status of those criteria are indicated by the use of the following letters:
M - Met (No Deficiency or ARCA assessed and no unresolved ARCAs from prior exercises)
D - Deficiency assessed A - ARCA(s) assessed or unresolved ARCA(s) from prior exercise@)
N - Not Demonstrated (Reason explained in Section 1V.B.)
Blank - Not scheduled for demonstration 11
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 are definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.
Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies was assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise 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 criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) 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 maybe discussed in this report.
A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 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 16
to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant I 'I An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 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."
The DHS has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among DHS Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis.
The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs 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 Code.
Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
Criterion Number - An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice, Vol.
67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.
Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Planning Issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the Regional Director. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Planning Issues.
Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

APPENDIX 2 EXERCISE EVALUATORS AND TEAM LEADERS The following is a list of the personnel who evaluated the Byron Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise on June 20,2007. Evaluator Team Leaders are indicated by an asterisk I(*) before their names. The organization which each evaluator represents is indicated by the following abbreviations:
DHS Department of Homeland Security ICF ICF Consulting TITLE NAME ORGAN IZATlON Radiological Assistance Committee, Chairman William E. King DHS lFEMA Exercise Director Gary Naskrent DHS/FEMA Site Specialist Delwyn Kinsley DHSFEMA 29
APPENDIX 3 EXERCISE CRITERIA AND EXTENT-OF-PLAY AGREEMENT This appendix lists the exercise criteria, which were scheduled for demonstration in the Byron Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on June 20,2007, and the off-site extent-of-play agreement approved by FEMA on June 5,2007.
The exercise criteria, contained in the FEMA "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice," as published in the Federal Register NoticeNol 67, dated April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG0654/FEMA-REP-I, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980.
Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent-of-play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by DHS/FEMA to provide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria.
A.
Exercise Criteria Listed below are the specific radiological emergency preparedness criteria scheduled for demonstration during this exercise.
EVALUATION AREA 1 : EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT CRITERION 1.a.l : OROs use effective procedures to alert, notify and mobilize emergency personnel and facilities in a timely manner.
CRITERION 1.b. 1 : Facilities are sufficient to support the emergency response.
CRITERION 1.c.l : Key personnel with leadership roles for the OR0 provide direction and control to that part of the overall response effort for which they are responsible.
CRITERION 1.d.l : At least two communications systems are available, at least one operates properly, and communication links are established and maintained with appropriate locations. Communications capabilities are managed in support of emergency operations.
CRITERION 1.e.l : Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.
32
EVALUATION AREA 2: PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING CRITERION 2.a.l: OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination, to ensure that an exposure control system, including the use of KI, is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides.
CRITERION 2.b.l: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and OR0 dose projections, as well as knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions.
CRITERION 2.b.2: A decisiommaking process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PADS) for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if OR0 policy).
CRITERION 2.c.l: Protective action decisions are made, as appropriate, for special population groups.
EVALUATION AREA 3: PROTECTIVE ACTION IMPLEMENTATION CRITERION 3.a.l: The OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures, and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and 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.
CRITERION 3.b.l: KI and appropriate instructions are available should a decision to recommend use of KI be made. Appropriate record keeping of the administration of KI for emergency workers and institutionalized individuals (not the general public) is maintained.
CRITERION 3.c. 1 : Protective action decisions are implemented for special population groups within areas subject to protective actions.
CRITERION 3.c.2: OROs/School officials decide upon and implement protective actions for schools.
CRITERION 3.d.l: Appropriate traffic and access control is established. Accurate instructions are provided to traffic and access control personnel.
CRITERION 3.d.2: Impediments to evacuation are identified and resolved.
EVALUATION AREA 4 - FIELD MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS 33
CRITERION 4.a. 1 : The field teams are equipped to perform field measurements of direct radiation exposure (cloud and ground shine) and to sample airborne radioiodine and particulates.
CRITERION 4.a.2: Field teams are managed to obtain sufficient information to help characterize the release and to control radiation exposure CRITERION 4.a.3: Ambient radiation measurements are made and recorded at appropriate locations, and radioiodine and particulate samples are collected. Teams will move to an appropriate low background location to determine whether any significant (as specified in the plan and/or procedures) amount of radioactivity has been collected on the sampling media.
EVALUATION AREA 5: EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION & PUBLIC INFORMATION CRITERION 5.a.l: Activities associated with primary alerting and notification of the public are completed in as timely manner following the initial decision by authorized offsite emergency officials to notify the public of an emergency situation. The initial instructional message to the public must include as a minimum the elements required by current FEMA REP guidance.
CRITERION 5.b.l: OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public and the news media in a timely manner.
EVALUATION AREA 6: SUPPORT OPERATlONlFAClLlTlES CRITERION 6.a.l: The reception centerlemergency worker facility has appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide monitoring, decontamination, and registration of evacuees and/or emergency workers.
CRITERION 6.b.l: The facility/ORO has adequate procedures and resources for the accomplishment of monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment including vehicles.
CRITERION 6.c.l: Managers of congregate care facilities demonstrate that the centers have resources to provide services and accommodations consistent with American Red Cross planning guidelines (found in MASS CARE-Preparedness Operations, ARC 3031 ).
Managers demonstrate the procedures to assure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination and have been decontaminated as appropriate prior to entering congregate care facilities.

APPENDIX 4 EXERCISE SCENARIO This appendix contains a summary of the simulated sequence of events - Exercise Scenario
-- which was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by Offsite Response Organizations in the Byron Station REP Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway exercise on June 20,2007.
This exercise scenario was submitted by the State of Illinois and Exelon Nuclear and approved by DHS/FEMA Region V June 5,2007.
During the exercise, controllers from the State of Illinois gave inject messages, containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking response actions by OROs.
