INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS 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 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness", 351 "Radiological Emergency Planning and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning." | |||
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 DHS/FEMA'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. | |||

Each member of the Cottage Grove EMS crew was issued an Arrowtech 138 Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a Mirion Technologies Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was inforned of their turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F), the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. | : a.

The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a running total following re-zeroing of the DRD.POSSIBLE CAUSE: Planners were unaware of the requirement to issue DRDs capable of indicating dosimeter administrative limits. | : b.

CONDITION: Each member of the Cottage Grove EMS crew was issued an Arrowtech 138 Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a Mirion Technologies Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was inforned of their turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F), the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a running total following re-zeroing of the DRD. | |||
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Planners were unaware of the requirement to issue DRDs capable of indicating dosimeter administrative limits. | |||

NUREG-0654, K.3.a, 3.b i EFFECT: The Emergency Workers issued these Dosimetry/KI kits, could have resulted in them improperly reading exposure levels if in a contaminated area. | |||
I RECOMMENDATION: The Radiological Officer should be provided additional training as well as review the plan to adequately examine all DRD's for valid expiration date. The procedure for delivery of dosimetry to the Dakota County Dosimetry Control Officer should include a check of DRDs to the inventory control sheet.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant including KI if ORO policy. I CONDITION: During the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) | |||
Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) and the Operations Manager and staff for the State of Wisconsin used a checklist to guide their actions during a General Emergency which did not reflect the processes or steps required for a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to become a Protective Action Decision (PAD) in a "home . | |||
rule" state. | |||
The State and its resources support County decision making by providing a PAR (for evacuations, sheltering in place) based on information received from PINGP, the efforts of field monitoring teams, and associated projections (see Criterion 2.b. 1). | |||
The County then makes a decision (PAD) based on the PAR provided by the State. | |||
In the checklist entitled, "OIC/Operations Actions, General Emergency", after concurrence is reached on the substance of protective action and "counties agree on a' time to sound sirens", the OIC is to "request approval of the PAR from the Governor or Governor's Representative, and the PAR becomes a PAD." | |||
Contrary to the (sequence of) steps in the checklist, the PAR does not become a PAD upon the Governor Representative's approval. The PAR becomes a PAD upon the i acceptance of the PAR by Pierce. County, as perhaps modified by them to account for local considerations. The Governor or Governor's Representative certainly can i approve a PAR, but in a "home rule" state, they are not in the role of approving the County's actions in this regard. As a "home rule" state, Pierce County is responsible for the overall decision to make a protective action (e.g., evacuation, shelter-in-place). Also, the language in the checklist did not entirely reflect the coordination processes anticipated by theState, e.g., the coordination with the State of Minnesota, a ".decision" rather than "concurrence" from Pierce County, coordination and communication of a KI PAD with Minnesota and Pierce County. | |||
Note: The decision to recommend KI to the general public is seen as an independent protective action. Therefore, the State via the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) authorizes and directs "the timely and appropriate dispensing of KI" to emergency workers, and recommends its voluntary use by immobile populations and the general 38 I I | |||

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT). | |||
At 1920 hours, the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances. The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one Thermnoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card. | |||
Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed. | |||
The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forns to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours. | |||
In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit. | |||

NUREG 0645: K.3.a, 3.b EFFECT: Harmful radiation exposure could affect those briefed to accept higher levels, unable to read those levels on their instrument, not aware of a much lower exposure limit, unable to read rem on a DRD, and, any combination thereof. 3 RECOMMENDATION: The Pierce County Radiological Officer should obtain Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP, Version 2.1, January 10, 2010. That portion I of paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 pertaining to the State exposure limit of 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD should be incorporated into dosimetry briefings prepared for and given to County monitoring and decontamination workers. The Pierce Radiological Officer should develop and use 3 and a dosimetry briefing checklist for use when training emergency workers and when issuing dosimetry. The Pierce County Radiological Officer should present group briefings on the purpose and use of dosimetry to ensure consistency of message and increase efficiency. The Wisconsin DHS should assist the PC RO in these matters matter. | |||
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: | |||
The State of Wisconsin will conduct training for each risk county's radiological officer as well as ensure compatibility in plans and procedures between the State and 44 | |||
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP). | |||
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant County plans. A checklist will be developed for use by County radiological officers to ensure a thorough and consistent briefing of reception center staff and emergency workers.

The State Patrol has issued rugged laptop computers to all of their Troopers. The laptops fit into a docking station installed in the vehicles and can be easily removed for use in EOCs when necessary. The laptops are used to access CAD. Troopers use the system as much if not more so than the 800 MHz radios to communicate back and forth via internal email. This is not only timely but produces a log of the information communicated. When a State Police Trooper is supporting a response in a County EOC he/she can use the CAD system to see where all available Troopers are located inclusive of having the capability to communicate with field personnel and access to many other system tools like reference materials, etc. | |||

PREVIOUS EXERCISE FINDINGS AND PLANNING ISSUES I | |||
State of Minnesota There were two unresolved Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified for the State of Minnesota during the 2009 intermediate/ingestion phase exercise with the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant and one unresolved ARCA from the previous Prairie Island Nuclear Generating I | |||
Plant exercise in 2008. | |||
The State of Minnesota has one outstanding Area Requiring Corrective Action from the July 2008 I | |||
Prairie Island exercise (50-08-5b1-A-01) in which the state did not convey timely information to some callers telephoning into the hotline. The state has enhanced its training to the hotline operators and has connected a speaker system into the hotline room to enable the operators to hear the SEOC briefings. This will be re-demonstrated during the Prairie Island Exercise in 2010. | |||
I Dakota and Goodhue Counties There are no unresolved ARCAs for Dakota and Goodhue counties. | |||

After Action Report/improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant EVALUATION AREA2 - PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION-MAKING SUB-ELEMENT 2.a - Emergency Worker Exposure Control Criterion 2,a.1: 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. | |||
State of Minnesota All emergency workers have a radiation exposure limit of 3 R with a turn back limit of 1 R as read on a DRD. The withdraw limit for State RAD Teams is 100 mR/hr. The Planning Chief may authorize radiation exposure to emergency workers in excess of the administrative limit in accordance with standard operating guidelines. If the scenario does not require an authorization of exposure above the administrative limit, the process for doing so can be discussed with the evaluator. | |||
When the decision to administer KI to Emergency Workers in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is made (or controller data is injected), the Planning Chief~will recommend to the State Incident Manager (SIM) and the Operation Chief that field operations staff take KI (simulated). KI for State RAD Team members is included in sampling kits. State Patrol personnel receive their kits at county EOCs per procedure. State emergency workers that will simulate KI administration are: | |||
* State Patrol Helicopter crew, weather permitting (helicopter crew-alerting the public, if in the air) | |||
* State RAD Team members (field monitoring and sampling)* | |||
* State Patrol (Highway traffic control points) | |||
Goodhue County, Dakota County The Goodhue and Dakota County Radiological Officers will instruct county emergency workers to take KI after the recommendation is made by the SEOC (Planning and Assessment Center). | |||
All emergency workers have a radiation exposure limit of 3 R. The County Radiological Officer, after authorization from the Planning Chief in the SEOC, can allow radiation exposures of county emergency workers in excess of the administrative limit.

Demonstrate the capability to follow policies, implement procedures, and use equipment/facilities as delineated in the applicable emergency response plan I IV. EXTENT OF PLAY This objective will be demonstrated between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on Monday, August 23, 2010, at the reception center at Elmwood School in Elmwood, WI. Elmwood Ambulance Service will prepare a simulated contaminated patient for transportation. Due to the distance l between Elmwood and Eau Claire, and the resulting time that the ambulance crew would be out of the service area, actual transportation will not be demonstrated. The demonstration of communications with the medical facility will take place according to the SOP for the I ambulance service. A description of the route and the selection of a hospital to transport the patient will be demonstrated through an evaluator's interview with the ambulance personnel. | |||
V. NARRATIVE SCENARIO This simulated radiation accident begins as a member of the general public arrives at the I reception center in Elmwood. The individual has been evacuated from the area around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant due to an accident and release of radioactive materials. While driving to the reception center, Via a locally known shortcut, the person swerves to avoid a deer in a wooded area and drives off the road. While exiting the car in the I | |||
ditch the individual trips on a downed tree branch, falling and striking their forehead on a rock resulting in a severe laceration. A short time later, while the victim lay dazed next to their I car, another vehicle comes along and stops to help. While assisting the injured person, both are exposed to the passing plume. Eventually they leave, driving the injured person to the reception center. U The driver tells reception center staff that the car and passengers may have been exposed to the radioactive plume resulting in potential contamination of both. | |||
The ambulance crew stationed at the reception center treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and loads the individual into the ambulance for !transport to the hospital. Reception center staff is trained not to survey evacuees requiring immediate medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital. If reception center staff does choose to survey the victim, contamination levels are provided in Section VI below. | |||
Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated. | |||
The drill may be terminated when the patient is loaded and the notification of the hospital has 128 | |||

Injury/Illness: | |||
I II. PURPOSE This simulated radiation medical emergency is being conducted to exercise the I emergency medical response in Pierce County. The basic objective is to assess the ability of the pre-hospital medical (ambulance) service to handle a contaminated and injured patient. I III. OBJECTIVES OF THE DRILL I | |||
Terminal Objective . | |||
I Demonstrate the adequacy of vehicles, equipment, procedures, and personnel for transporting contaminated, injured, or exposed individuals. I Demonstration Obiectives To accomplish the terminal objective, drill participants will adequately: | |||
I | |||
" Implement appropriate contamination control measures during preparation and transport of individuals from the accident site. | |||
I | |||
" Determine the identity of the medical facility to which the individual will be transported and transport the individual without undue delay. | |||
I | |||
" Demonstrate the capability to maintain timely and accurate communications with the receiving medical facility. | |||
I | |||
" Demonstrate the capability to follow policies, implement procedures, and use equipment/facilities as delineatefli the applicable emergency response plan. | |||
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP) | |||
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant IV. EXTENT OF PLAY This objective will be demonstrated between 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm on August 24, 2010, at the Ellsworth EMS station in Ellsworth, WI. The Ellsworth Ambulance Service will prepare a simulated contaminated patient for transportation. Due to the distance between Ellsworth and Eau Claire, and the resulting time that the ambulance crew would be out of the service area, actual transportation will not be demonstrated. The demonstration of communications with the medical facility will take place according to the SOP for the ambulance service. A description of the route and the selection of a hospital to transport the patient will be demonstrated through an evaluator's interview with the transportation personnel. | |||
V. NARRATIVE SCENARIO This drill begins with a simulated radiological release at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. A member of the general population experiences a flat tire while attempting to evacuate the area. While changing the tire, the victim's car slips off of the jack and the jack strikes the victim in the left leg breaking the left fibula. While dealing with this situation the victim and their passenger believe they were exposed to the plume. | |||
The passenger finishes changing the tire and drives the victim to Ellsworth to receive medial treatment at the EMS station. The driver informs the ambulance personnel that the they and the car are most likely radioactively contaminated from the plume. | |||
The ambulance crew stationed in Ellsworth treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and properly loads the individual into the ambulance for transport to the hospital. Ambulance staff are trained not to survey evacuees requiring.immediate. | |||
medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital. | |||
General medical conditions of the victim can be found in Section V below. | |||
The ambulance crew directs the remaining uninjured passenger to proceed to the reception center in Elmwood where both the car and the passenger can be screened for contamination and decontaminated if necessary. | |||
Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated. The drill may be terminated when victim is loaded and the notification of the hospital has been completed. Notification of Sacred Heart Hospital will occur according to established SOPs. | |||

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Region V 536 South Clark Street, Floor 6 Chicago, IL 60605 Z), SFEMA NRC Headquarters Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed is one copy of the Final Report for the August 24, 2010, Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The State of Minnesota Dakota and Goodhue Counties, the State of Wisconsin and Pierce County, and the utility owner/operator, Exelon Nuclear, participated in this exercise.
No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Minnesota or for Dakota and Goodhue Counties during this exercise. No Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue identified for the State of Minnesota and one Planning Issue identified for Dakota County. One ARCA for the State of Minnesota from a prior exercise was successfully re-demonstrated.
The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.
The Planning Issue for the State of Minnesota was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1- Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI),
and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Emergency Medical Crew were provided a 0-200mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD). This DRD is not able to read turn-back values of 1 R or total exposure limits of 3 R in accordance with current State of Minnesota Plans and Procedures.
The Planning Issue for Dakota County was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1- Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Radiological Officer had 26 (Model 622, 0-20 R) DRDs, 13 of which were expired requiring recertification in 2008.
There were also three DRDs that had stickers marked "failed" on them. The inventory of DRDs was not checked by the RO upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.
www.fema.gov
To Whom It May Concern Page # 2 No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Wisconsin or for Pierce County during this exercise.
There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified for the State of Wisconsin.
There was one ARCA from a previous exercise that was successfully re-demonstrated. One Planning Issue was identified for the State of Wisconsin. One ARCA was not demonstrated from a previous exercise. This ARCA (number 33-09-1cl-A-01) will be demonstrated during the Point Beach REP Exercise in October 2010, in accordance with the extent-of-play agreement. No ARCAs were identified for Pierce County during this exercise.
The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 - OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.
The ARCA for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Implementation of Emergency Worker Control, Criterion 3.a. 1- The Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures and managed radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with the plans and procedures, whereby emergency workers were not briefed of their correct exposure limits nor did they know what their correct exposure limits were when they were interviewed.
The Planning Issue for the State of Wisconsin was identified under Criterion 2.b.2 - A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions for the general public (including the recommendation for the use of KI, if ORO policy), whereby various State of Wisconsin staff used inaccurate procedures to provide Pierce County with protective action recommendations based on their "home rule" status.
A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of the Final Report.
Based on the results of the August 24, 2010, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the PINGP, 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 CFR, Part 350, approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin site-specific to the PINGP, granted on December 4, 1981, remains in effect.
Copies of this report have been provided to the DHS/FEMA National Office, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region III and the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

SUMMARY
I On August 24, 2010, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland I Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a I radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) and procedures.
I The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on July 22, 2008. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on December 8, 1981. 1 DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Minnesota, the risk counties of Goodhue and Dakota participated along with State Government and the Prairie Island Indian Community. In the State of Wi~sconsin, the risk county of Pierce participated along with 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 responsibilityby volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.'
Cooperation and teamwork oin 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:

Section 3 of this report, entitled "Analysis of Capabilities" presents detailed information on the ARCAs and Planning Issues.
INTRODUCTION - EXERCISE BASIS 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 "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness", 351 "Radiological Emergency Planning and Preparedness" and 352 "Commercial Nuclear Power Plants: Emergency Preparedness Planning."
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 DHS/FEMA'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.
DHS/FEMA's responsibilities in radiological emergency planning for fixed nuclear facilities include the following:.
- Taking the lead in offsite 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; 9

EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE (EPZ) DESCRIPTION The Xcel Energy Corporation owns and operates the PINGP. The plant consists of two pressurized water reactors (Units 1 and 2); both rated at 560 megawatts (MW). The operating licenses for the facility were granted in August 1973 (Unit 1) and October 1974 (Unit 2).
Commercial operations began at the site during December 1973 (Unit 1) and December 1974 (Unit 2). The plant site consists of approximately 560 acres located in the City of Red Wing (2010 population: 16,116) on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The latitude of the site is 440 37'3" north and the longitude is 92' 37'9" west. The property is level to slightly rolling. The site elevation ranges from 675 to 706 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Mississippi River flows from northeast to southwest through the 10-mile 11
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant EPZ. The Vermillion River flows northwest to southeast. Steep bluffs surround the river, rising to more than 1,000 feet above msl about 11/2 miles northeast and southwest of the site. The following Sub-Areas are included within the 10-mile EPZ: Sub-Areas 2, 5N, 5E, 5S,5W, ION, lONE, 10E, lOSE, 1OSW, IOW and 1ONW.
The total plume pathway EPZ population is 29,241 (2003 Xcel data). The nearest large population centers are St. Paul, Minnesota (2000 population 287,151), 26 miles northwest of the site; seven counties Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota (2,642,056), 26 miles northwest of the site; Rochester, Minnesota (80,168), 41 miles south; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin (51,000), 55 miles east-northeast. Goodhue County, in which the site is located, and the adjacent counties (Dakota in Minnesota and Pierce in Wisconsin) are predominately rural. Located within two miles of the site, however, is a Native-American-owned gambling casino, the Treasure Island Casino, which is situated on the Prairie Island reservation, which has an average daily attendance of 23,000 persons per day. The remaining land within a 10-mile radius of the site is almost exclusively agricultural.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant ISSUE NO.: 50-10-1el-P-04 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.
CONDITION: Each member of the Cottage Grove EMS crew was issued an Arrowtech 138 Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD) and a Mirion Technologies Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was inforned of their turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F), the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a running total following re-zeroing of the DRD.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Planners were unaware of the requirement to issue DRDs capable of indicating dosimeter administrative limits.
REFERENCE:
. NUREG-0654, criteria K.3.a.
" FEMA REP Program Manual, page 111-66
" FEMA REP 2, page 5-6, 5-10, 5-12 EFFECT: Upon reaching the 200 mR upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 DRD, and lacking a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD, and an appropriate running total entry on the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log, 200 mR effectively becomes the turn-back and exposure limit for the EMS crew, removing a valuable and scarce resource from duty.
31
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant RECOMMENDATION: Issue EMS units with an additional DRD in the 0-20 R range, or issue a dosimeter charger and redesign the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log to accommodate a running total entry following DRD re-zeroing.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
The State of Minnesota will be updating the emergency worker green cards with a statement that if you are outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone you do not have or need a turn-back limit or exposure limit. The State of Minnesota Emergency Operation Plan and the standard operating guidelines will be updated to state the turn-back limit and exposure limit are only to be used while in the 10-mile emergency planning zone. The green emergency worker cards will also be updated to state there is no turn-back or exposure limits for emergency workers outside of the 10-mile EPZ, the cards will also state if they get any readings on'their DRD's they are to contact their supervisor immediately. This will be a point of emphasis in our field training for the emergency workers. I

ISSUE NO.: 50-10-lel-P-03 CRITERION: Equipment, maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations.
CONDITION: The RO packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. The supply of 26, Model 622, 0-20 R DRD's maintained at the Dakota County EOC contained 13 units that were expired, requiring recertification in 2008.
33
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant There were also 3 units that that had stickers marked failed on them. The Radiological Officer (RO) failed .to check the expiration dates on the Dosimetry Corporation Model 622, 0-20 R, direct-reading dosimetry (DRD). The inventory of I DRD's were not checked upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for' distribution to Emergency Workers.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Radiological Officer was unaware of the expiration dates on the DRD and therefore did not observe the dates on the units prior to packaging them as part of the Dosimetry/KI kits. The calibration logs did not match the supply of DRD delivered to Dakota County by the State Dosimetry Control Officer.
REFERENCE:
NUREG-0654, K.3.a, 3.b i EFFECT: The Emergency Workers issued these Dosimetry/KI kits, could have resulted in them improperly reading exposure levels if in a contaminated area.
I RECOMMENDATION: The Radiological Officer should be provided additional training as well as review the plan to adequately examine all DRD's for valid expiration date. The procedure for delivery of dosimetry to the Dakota County Dosimetry Control Officer should include a check of DRDs to the inventory control sheet. The procedure for assembling Emergency Worker Exposure Kits should include a check of the dosimetry calibration due dates.
I SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
I Dakota County will be updating the standard operation guidelines (SOGs) for the Radiological Officer (RO) to ensure all DRDs have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. Furthermore, the operations chief will ensure that all DRDs that are due for calibration are gathered and sent to the State for their annual calibration.

ISSUE NO.: 50-10-2b2-P-01 CRITERION: A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make PADs for the general public 37
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant including KI if ORO policy. I CONDITION: During the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)
Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) and the Operations Manager and staff for the State of Wisconsin used a checklist to guide their actions during a General Emergency which did not reflect the processes or steps required for a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to become a Protective Action Decision (PAD) in a "home .
rule" state.
The State and its resources support County decision making by providing a PAR (for evacuations, sheltering in place) based on information received from PINGP, the efforts of field monitoring teams, and associated projections (see Criterion 2.b. 1).
The County then makes a decision (PAD) based on the PAR provided by the State.
In the checklist entitled, "OIC/Operations Actions, General Emergency", after concurrence is reached on the substance of protective action and "counties agree on a' time to sound sirens", the OIC is to "request approval of the PAR from the Governor or Governor's Representative, and the PAR becomes a PAD."
Contrary to the (sequence of) steps in the checklist, the PAR does not become a PAD upon the Governor Representative's approval. The PAR becomes a PAD upon the i acceptance of the PAR by Pierce. County, as perhaps modified by them to account for local considerations. The Governor or Governor's Representative certainly can i approve a PAR, but in a "home rule" state, they are not in the role of approving the County's actions in this regard. As a "home rule" state, Pierce County is responsible for the overall decision to make a protective action (e.g., evacuation, shelter-in-place). Also, the language in the checklist did not entirely reflect the coordination processes anticipated by theState, e.g., the coordination with the State of Minnesota, a ".decision" rather than "concurrence" from Pierce County, coordination and communication of a KI PAD with Minnesota and Pierce County.
Note: The decision to recommend KI to the general public is seen as an independent protective action. Therefore, the State via the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC) authorizes and directs "the timely and appropriate dispensing of KI" to emergency workers, and recommends its voluntary use by immobile populations and the general 38 I I
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant public. This is in accordance with the Wisconsin Department of Health Service's Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP), Version 2.1, Volume 1, dated August 16, 2010, and the Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP), Radiological Nuclear Incident Annex, II.D.2. The Pierce County Emergency Operations Procedure (EOP) further states that per state policy, dispensation of KI is approved by the Governor (or designee) and DHFS (Division of Health) who directs the County Health Director to authorize KI dispensation.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The use of language and documents provided by the State of Minnesota. Without taking under consideration of the "Home Rule" Decision Making process.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0654, J.9, J.10 DHS Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP) Volume 1, Section 2.1.1, 2.3.5; 4.6; Appendices B & C Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP), Radiological Nuclear Incident Annex, I.C, II.D.2, III.C.2, Pierce County Emergency Operations Procedure (EOP)
EFFECT: The situation as reflected on the checklist and in the Protective Action Manual has the potential to cause confusion about who is responsible for protective action decision making, and, in particular, the approval(s) required for a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to become a Protective Action Decision (PAD).
RECOMMENDATION: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) checklists should be reviewed and revised to ensure steps are included in the proper sequence for appropriate coordination, approval, and decision-making with regard to protective action recommendations and decisions. These checklists should be cross-checked against the Pierce County Emergency Plan and the Wisconsin Emergency Response Plan (WERP) to ensure consistency. Also, the State of Wisconsin's SOP and its associated checklists need to be revised and further clarified to accurately reflect the coordination process and the respective decision making responsibilities of the State and County with regard to both types of protective actions, e.g., evacuations, ingestion of KI. In addition, the copies of the Minnesota State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) SOP for Planning Protective Action Process, as well as 39

CONDITION: Approximately 22 firefighters were assigned to four monitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC. The four teams were the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring Team (EEWMT), the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Decontamination Team (EEWDT, the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle 42
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT).
At 1920 hours0.0222 days <br />0.533 hours <br />0.00317 weeks <br />7.3056e-4 months <br />, the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances. The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one Thermnoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card.
Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed.
The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forns to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours0.0226 days <br />0.542 hours <br />0.00322 weeks <br />7.41975e-4 months <br />.
In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit.
The extent-of-play a*greement for criterion 6.a. 1 stated that all Pierce County monitoring and decontamination workers would work under the direction of State staff and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response. As such, and in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP),
Version 2.1, January 10, 2010, the State exposure limit is 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD.
Not only were the monitoring and decontamination workers incorrectly briefed on an exposure limit of 3 rem, and the Dosimetry Information Card issued listed the exposure limit as 3 rem, their 0-200R DRD was not capable of reading 3 Rem. The 43
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant instrument can only read Roentgens.
Approaching the end of the demonstration, one worker radioed the Dosimetry Station and asked what the exposure limit was. The response given, 2 rem that can be increased to 3 rem, was incorrect.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Pierce County (PC) Radiological Officer (RO) may not have known that Pierce County workers serving on monitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC were considered under the direction of the State staff and, therefore, came under the provisions of the Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP.
Furthermore, the Wisconsin DHS may not have verified, that the PC RO was in possession of that information and a copy of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin DHS RIRP.
REFERENCE:
NUREG 0645: K.3.a, 3.b EFFECT: Harmful radiation exposure could affect those briefed to accept higher levels, unable to read those levels on their instrument, not aware of a much lower exposure limit, unable to read rem on a DRD, and, any combination thereof. 3 RECOMMENDATION: The Pierce County Radiological Officer should obtain Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP, Version 2.1, January 10, 2010. That portion I of paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 pertaining to the State exposure limit of 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD should be incorporated into dosimetry briefings prepared for and given to County monitoring and decontamination workers. The Pierce Radiological Officer should develop and use 3 and a dosimetry briefing checklist for use when training emergency workers and when issuing dosimetry. The Pierce County Radiological Officer should present group briefings on the purpose and use of dosimetry to ensure consistency of message and increase efficiency. The Wisconsin DHS should assist the PC RO in these matters matter.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
The State of Wisconsin will conduct training for each risk county's radiological officer as well as ensure compatibility in plans and procedures between the State and 44
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP).
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant County plans. A checklist will be developed for use by County radiological officers to ensure a thorough and consistent briefing of reception center staff and emergency workers.

After Action Report/ImprovementPlan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant SECTION 4: CONCLUSION No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Minnesota or for Dakota and Goodhue Counties during this exercise. No Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for the State of Minnesota or the Counties of Goodhue and Dakota during this exercise. There was one Planning Issue identified for the State of Minnesota and one Planning Issue identified for Dakota County. One ARCA for the State of Minnesota from a prior exercise was successfully re-demonstrated.
The ARCA that was resolved for the State of Minnesota was identified under Criterion 5.b. 1 -
OROs provide accurate emergency information and instructions to the public.
The Planning Issue for the State of Minnesota was indentified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1- Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Emergency Medical Crew were provided a 0-200mR direct-reading dosimeter (DRD). This DRD is not able to read turn-back values of 1 R or total exposure limits of 3 R in accordance with current State of Minnesota Plans and Procedures.
The Planning Issue for Dakota County was identified under Equipment and Supplies to Support Operations, Criterion i.e. 1- Equipment, Maps, displays, dosimetry, potassium iodide (KI), and other supplies are sufficient to support emergency operations, whereby the Radiological Officer (RO) had 26 (Model 622, 0-20 R) DRDS, 13 of which were expired requiring recertification in 2008. There were also three DRDs that had stickers marked "failed" on them. The inventory of DRDs was'not checked by the RO upon delivery and prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.
No Deficiencies were identified for the State of Wisconsin or for Pierce County during this exercise. There was one Area Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified for the State of Wisconsin. There was one ARCA from a previous exercise that was successfully re-demonstrated. No ARCAs were identified for Pierce County during this exercise. One ARCA was not demonstrated from a previous exercise. This ARCA (number 33-09-1cl-A-01) will be demonstrated during the Point Beach REP Exercise in October 2010, in accordance with the extent-of-play agreement.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant APPENDIX A: IMPROVEMENT PLAN I. II I IC itein ISSUE: The RO packaged the expired DRD's with the other items maintained in the Dosimetry/KI kits to be distributed to the emergency workers at the Dakota County EOC. The supply of 26, Model 622, 0-20 R DRD's maintained at the Dakota County EOC contained 13 units that were expired, requiring recertification in 2008.
There were also 3 units that that had stickers marked failed on them. The Radiological Officer (RO) failed to check the expiration dates on the Dosimetry Corporation Model 622, 0-20 R, direct-reading dosimetry (DRD). The inventory of DRD's were not checked upon delivery, or prior to being packaged for distribution to Emergency Workers.
RECOMMENDATION: The Radiological Officer should be provided additional training as well as review the plan to adequately examine all DRD's for valid expiration date. The procedure for delivery of dosimetry to the Dakota County Dosimetry Control Officer should include a check of DRDs to the inventory control sheet. The procedure for assembling Emergency Worker Exposure Kits should include a check of the dosimetry calibration due dates.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
Dakota County will be updating the standard operation guidelines (SOGs) for the Radiological Officer (RO) to ensure all DRDs have current calibration dates properly marked on the device before issuing to emergency workers. Furthermore, the operations chief will ensure that all DRDs that are due for calibration are gathered and sent to the State for their annual calibration.

During the dosimeter briefing prior to transport of a potentially contaminated, injured individual, the EMS crew was informed of their turn-back limit of I R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan (Annex F),
the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Emergency Worker Handbook, and the Minnesota REP Program I
Emergency Worker Exposure Log also indicated a turn-back limit of 1 R (1,000 mR) and total exposure limit of 3 R (3,000 mR). The upper limit of the Arrowtech 138 is 200 mR and is not appropriate to indicate either the turn-back limit or total exposure limit as stated in the plans and procedures. The ambulance crew was not issued a dosimeter charger to re-zero the DRD upon reaching the upper range, nor was the Minnesota REP Program I
Emergency Worker Exposure Log designed to accommodate recording a.running total following re-zeroing of the DRD.
RECOMMENDATION: Issue EMS units with an additional DRD in the 0-20 R range, or issue a dosimeter I
charger and redesign the Minnesota REP Program Emergency Worker Exposure Log to accommodate a running total entry following DRD re-zeroing.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
I The State of Minnesota will be updating the emergency worker green cards with a statement that if you are outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone you do not have or need a turn-baick limit or exposure limit. The State of Minnesota Emergency Operation Plan and the standard operating guidelines will be updated to state the turn-back I
limit and exposure limit are only to be used while in the 10-mile emergency planning zone. The green emergency worker cards will also be updated to state there is no turn-back or exposure limits for emergency workers outside of the 10-mile EPZ, the cards will also state if they get any readings on their DRD's they are to contact'their supervisor immediately.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant ISSUE: Approximately 22 firefighters were assigned to fourmonitoring and decontamination teams at the ESRC.
The four teams were the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Monitoring Team (EEWMT), the Evacuee and Emergency Worker Decontamination Team (EEWDT, the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Monitoring Team, (EEVMT), and the Evacuee and Emergency Vehicle Decontamination Team (EEVDT).
At 1920 hours0.0222 days <br />0.533 hours <br />0.00317 weeks <br />7.3056e-4 months <br />, the four teams reported to the Dosimetry Station in the ESRC for a briefing on and issuance of a dosimetry kit. The Pierce County Radiological Officer and an Assistant conducted the briefings and issuances.
The dosimetry kit provided to each firefighter contained one 0-200 mR Direct-Reading Dosimeter (DRD), one Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), one Dosimeter Record Card, and one Dosimeter Information Card.
Individual briefings were given. The use of a briefing checklist was not observed. The briefing on dosimetry included zeroing DRDs, reading the Dosimetry Information Card, checking the DRD every 30 minutes, recording DRD readings on the Dosimeter Record Card, the exposure limit of 3 rem, the wearing of the DRD and TLD on the outside of the outer garment at chest level, and returning the dosimetry and forms to the Dosimetry Station upon completion of the mission or until directed to do otherwise. The briefings and issuances were completed by 1950 hours0.0226 days <br />0.542 hours <br />0.00322 weeks <br />7.41975e-4 months <br />.
In the course of the demonstration, two to four members from each of the four teams were questioned regarding their understanding of dosimetry. With one exception, those questioned had a basic knowledge of the purpose, use and disposition of their dosimetry. The exception was that no member of three of the four teams (the EEWMT, the EEVMT, and the EEVDT) questioned knew his or her exposure limit.
The extent-of-play agreement for criterion 6.a. 1 stated that all Pierce County monitoring and decontamination workers would work under the direction of State staff and should be evaluated as part of the State of Wisconsin's response. As such, and in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 of Volume 4 of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Radiological Incident Response Plan (RIRP), Version 2.1, January 10, 2010, the State exposure limit is 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD.
Not only were the monitoring and decontamination workers incorrectly briefed on an exposure limit of 3 rem, and the Dosimetry Information Card issued listed the exposure limit as 3 rem, their 0-200R DRD was not capable of reading 3 Rem. The instrument can only read Roentgens.
Approaching the end of the demonstration, one worker radioed the Dosimetry Station and asked what the exposure limit was. The response given, 2 rem that can be increased to 3 rem, was incorrect.
RECOMMENDATION: The Pierce County Radiological Officer should obtain Volume 4 to the Wisconsin DHS RIRP, Version 2.1, January 10, 2010. That portion of paragraph 2.3.2 on page 9 pertaining to the State exposure limit of 150 mR for persons wearing only a TLD and a 0-200 mR DRD should be incorporated into dosimetry briefings prepared for and given to County monitoring and decontamination workers. The Pierce Radiological Officer should develop and use and a dosimetry briefing checklist for use when training emergency workers and when issuing dosimetry. The Pierce County Radiological Officer should present group briefings on the purpose and use of dosimetry to ensure consistency of message and increase efficiency. The Wisconsin DHS should assist the PC RO in these matters matter.
SCHEDULE OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
The State of Wisconsin will conduct training for each risk county's radiological officer as well as ensure compatibility in plans and procedures between the State and County plans. A checklist will be developed for use by County radiological officers to ensure a thorough and consistent briefing of reception center staff and emergency workers. The State of Wisconsin will redemonstrate this criterion during the next Prairie Island exercise, which is cheduled to be field on July 10, 2012.

~I Summary: The CAD system provides MN State Police with a reliable communications device that has a wide selection of features to support a rapid response to an emergency.
==
Description:==
The State Patrol has issued rugged laptop computers to all of their Troopers. The laptops fit into a docking station installed in the vehicles and can be easily removed for use in EOCs when necessary. The laptops are used to access CAD. Troopers use the system as much if not more so than the 800 MHz radios to communicate back and forth via internal email. This is not only timely but produces a log of the information communicated. When a State Police Trooper is supporting a response in a County EOC he/she can use the CAD system to see where all available Troopers are located inclusive of having the capability to communicate with field personnel and access to many other system tools like reference materials, etc.

State of Minnesota All emergency workers have a radiation exposure limit of 3 R with a turn back limit of 1 R as read on a DRD. The withdraw limit for State RAD Teams is 100 mR/hr. The Planning Chief may authorize radiation exposure to emergency workers in excess of the administrative limit in accordance with standard operating guidelines. If the scenario does not require an authorization of exposure above the administrative limit, the process for doing so can be discussed with the evaluator.
When the decision to administer KI to Emergency Workers in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is made (or controller data is injected), the Planning Chief~will recommend to the State Incident Manager (SIM) and the Operation Chief that field operations staff take KI (simulated). KI for State RAD Team members is included in sampling kits. State Patrol personnel receive their kits at county EOCs per procedure. State emergency workers that will simulate KI administration are:
- State Patrol Helicopter crew, weather permitting (helicopter crew-alerting the public, if in the air)
- State RAD Team members (field monitoring and sampling)*
- State Patrol (Highway traffic control points)
Goodhue County, Dakota County The Goodhue and Dakota County Radiological Officers will instruct county emergency workers to take KI after the recommendation is made by the SEOC (Planning and Assessment Center).

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant State of Minnesota The development and dissemination of an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message will be demonstrated in the SEOC. The EAS is activated only when there is a protective action (i.e.,
evacuation or sheltering) for people. The State EAS plan states that the code for a nuclear generating plant incident is monitored by all relay stations and is set to automatically transmit the message from the State EOC.
The following is a summary of the PAD and EAS process:
- 1. The Planning and Assessment Center (PAC) receives a recommendation from the utility.
- 2. The PAC makes an independent assessment of the data and develops its recommendation.
- 3. The EAS Message and corresponding Special News Bulletins are selected by the Planning Chief and communicated to the Operations Chief.
- 4. The Operations Chief gets concurrence on the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) from the Minnesota risk counties.
- 6. The SIM gets concurrence from the State of Wisconsin Officer in Charge (OIC).
- 7. The PAR is communicated to the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) where once approved, it becomes a Protective Action Decision (PAD).
- 8. The time that the sirens are sounded and the time the EAS is activated is determined by the SIM after the PAD has been approved by the Minnesota GAR.
- 9. The SIM notifies the Wisconsin Officer in Charge of the siren sounding time and the time after the sirens sound that the EAS message will be transmitted. The Wisconsin OIC is ultimately responsible for relaying this message and any subsequent messages to Pierce County.
- 10. A copy of the approved PAD goes to the Operations Chief to coordinate these times with Dakota and Goodhue counties via a conference call - the EAS message is the State's responsibility.
- 11. The sirens are sounded (simulated).
- 12. T.he EAS message is transmitted (simulated).
- 13. Special News Bulletins-are-sent out.- .... -. ....
- 14. Media Briefings occur.
The Wisconsin Officer in Charge is responsible for all communications with Pierce County. The State of Minnesota has no direct communication with Pierce County.
Note: The first PAD is pre-approved and the SIM is authorizedto give an approval.
An EAS Transmitter (located in the SEOC) will directly broadcast by radio transmission an EAS message using an encoder/decoder, which is automatically monitored by encoders/decoders by major relay stations. In addition, the EAS Writer has the capability to send a message directly over NOAA weather alert radios and weather utilizing a link to the National Weather Service headquarters in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

U State of Wisconsin This is a partial-participation plume pathway exercise. Most activities, including decision making and radiological control/dose assessment, will occur at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and the State Radiological Coordinator (SRC)
Room (Room 105), both located at 2400 Wright Street, Madison, Wisconsin. The Joint Information Center (JIC), located in the Minnesota EOC at 444 Cedar Street, St. Paul, I
MN, will be staffed by both Minnesota and Wisconsin personnel. n The initial notification will occur via a faxed NARS form from Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) to both the State Patrol Headquarters (Warning Center 1) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (Warning Center 2). If the initial notification occurs prior to 7:45 a.m., State Patrol will contact the WEM Duty Officer (DO) via a pager. If the initial notification occurs after 7:45 'a.m., the fax will be received by WEM front desk staff.The fax will be followed by a phone call from the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) through the "City Watch" system. City Watch is a dedicated phone I
system which rings simultaneously . to State Patrol Headquarters, WEM Front Desk Receptionist, SEOC, the Communications Room located within WEM, and at the Sheriffs dispatch center in Pierce County. Both State Patrol and the WEM front desk I
staff will contact the WEM DO and either give them the NARS form or verbally relay the information received on the NARS form. U Based upon the WEM standard operating procedure, the DO will call the SRC. The SRC will then call the PINGP at the "call-back" number listed on the NARS form, to verify authenticity as well as to obtain additional information.
The DO will use the WEM Standard Operating Procedure for activation of the EOC. As per the Wisconsin Emergency Operations Plan, the EOC is activated at the 'ALERT' I
classification for nuclear power plants that have a 10-mile EPZ within Wisconsin. The SRC will respond in real-time (in sequence) and will report to 2400 Wright Street, Room 105, Madison, once a call back has been made to the plant. EOC security will be demonstrated; exercise participants, observers, controllers and evaluators will be asked to wear ID badges.
The DO or his/her designee will employ the use of the EOC software, "E-Sponder" for alerting staff both internally as well as external Wisconsin state agencies toi report to the EOC. The software sends a pre-scripted message to office phones, cellular phones, and e-mail accounts simultaneously. Recipients of the notification must respond as to their 102
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant status (i.e. "press 1 if you plan to report to the EOC," "press 2 if you cannot report to the EOC..."). The DO or his/her designee will monitor the responses by staff. In the event that E-Sponder cannot successfully perform its alerting function; or if an individual fails to respond, the DO or his/her designee will make the staff notifications via a telephone "calling tree."
A 24-hour EOC Staffing Roster will be presented from the State to FEMA at the pre-exercise meeting to be held on August 23, 2010.
Due to lengthy travel times, some staff will be pre-positioned. As per the EOC Activation SOP, these individuals will also be notified via E-Sponder alerting:
" The State Emergency Police Services (EPS) Director may be pre-positioned in the general vicinity of the Pierce County EOC at 414 W. Main Street, Ellsworth, WI but will not start exercise play until 20 minutes after EOC activation.
" A Wisconsin Emergency Management Regional Director will be pre-positioned in the Pierce County EOC building, but will not be allowed to start play until 20 minutes after EOC activation.
1 State Joint Information Center (JIC) staff, including Public Inquiry Hotline staff, will be pre-positioned in close proximity to the JIC in St. Paul. They will not be allowed to start play until 20 minutes has elapsed from the time of the ALERT declaration.
- The MS-1 hospital drill will be conducted at Sacred Heart Hospital, 900 W.
Clairemont Avenue, Eau Claire, WI out of sequence at 0900 on August 24, 2010.
Pierce County Pierce County will fully activate its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at 414 W. Main Street, Ellsworth, WI and will carry out warning and staff call-up procedures as outlined in the Pierce County Plan, EOC security will be demonstrated; exercise participants, observers and evaluators will be asked to wear ID badges.
Initial notification will be received by the Sheriffs Dispatchers via conference call on the City Watch telephone system, from the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The Sheriffs Dispatch Center is located at 432 West Main Street. The dispatchers will then activate the EOC staff using the City Watch notification feature. In the event that City Watch cannot successfully perform its notification, or if an individual fails to respond, the dispatcher will make the staff notifications via telephone calls.
The PIO representing the County at the JIC will be pre-positioned in the vicinity of the JIC. The PIO will not interact in play until contacted by the City Watch notification feature (or Pierce County Dispatch) and will wait 15 minutes after the call before beginning play.

Monitoring equipment, dosimetry and complete "county emergency worker dosimetry kits" are stored at the County EOC. Each county emergency worker dosimetry kit contains: potassium iodide (KI), a TLD, a high-level and low-level DRD, instructions, and a form for recording dosimetry readings. Additional KI for emergency workers and immobile populations is also kept at the same location. The expiration date for Pierce County's supply of KI is April 2012.
EVALUATION AREA 2 - PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING Criterion 2.a.l: Emergency Worker Exposure Control OROs use a decision-making process, considering relevantfactors and appropriatecoordination, to insure that an exposure control system, including the use ofK[, is in placefor emergency workers includingprovisions to authorize radiationexposure in excess of administrativelimits orprotective action guides.
State of Wisconsin The SRC, based on his/her technical evaluation of the available data, will make recommendations for emergency worker exposure control to the State Field Team Coordinator (FTC) at the FOC/MRL. Actual contact from the SRC to the FTC will be simulated. The SRC Will issue a recommendation for the ingestion of KI that will be made to Pierce County The recommendation is passed on to the counties through the State EOC OIC or Operations staff.. The County RO and County OIC then decide whether or not to implement thisrecommendation.
Emergency workers, including the field teams, have a dose limit of 3 rem, whole body (Deep Dose Equivalent). The exposure rate turn-back value for emergency workers is 200mR/hr closed window reading. For an emergency worker who only has access to a DRD, an exposure value of 150 mR will be used as the turn back value. By procedure, the SRC can authorize a radiation exposure in excess of the administrative limit for emergency workers.
Pierce County Pierce County's Radiological Officer (RO) will receive recommendations for the ingestion of KI from the SRC and will make his/her recommendation .to the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the County. At this point the OIC advises all agencies to recommend the ingestion of KI. The County RO will also evaluate requests from county public safety officials who request an exception to worker exposure limits. The County RO will confer with the SRC for exceptions to exposure limits and make a recommendation to the County OIC.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Criterion 2.b.l: Radiolosical Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions Appropriateprotective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions,field monitoring data and licensee and ORO. dose projections, as well as.
knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions.
State of Wisconsin The SRC staff will evaluate information provided by the licensee on plant conditions and perform independent dose projections. These projections are based on plant conditions, field-monitoring data, and knowledge of on-site and off-site environmental conditions.
Field monitoring data will be provided via controller inject messages directly to the SRC, as FOC/MRL and field monitoring activities will not be evaluated. The SRC will evaluate the data and make a protective action recommendation to the OIC. Generally, early dose assessments performed by state dose assessment personnel will be based upon plant conditions obtained via telephone or facsimile from the affected plant. Later dose assessments will be developed based upon plant conditions and simulated field sampling results via controller inject.
The State EOC will also use dedicated laptop computers for RASCAL dose assessment and plume modeling. The plume data will be integrated into GIS for display. The SRC will evaluate all available data, and in coordination with the State of Minnesota's Planning Chief, the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) will make protective action recommendations to the Governor or his designee.
Pierce County The county will not demonstrate this criterion. It is a State responsibility.
Criterion 2.b.2: Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency A decision-makingprocess involving consideration of appropriatefactors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions for the generalpublic, including the recommendationfor the use of K1, if ORO policy.
State of Wisconsin The Governor or his/her designee will demonstrate the ability to make appropriate protective action decisions based on recommendations from the OIC and the SRC in the SEOC. As a "home rule" state, the Governor or his/her designee makes protective action recommendations (PARs), but implementation decisions ultimately reside with the chief elected official (or his/her designee) in the affected county, who may modify PARs based on local needs or considerations. The OIC, or an Operations designee will contact the Pierce County Officer in Charge and relay the PAR to ensure that the County has no events taking place that will prohibit implementation of the PAR. Upon concurrence between Pierce County and the State of Wisconsin, the recommendation is coordinated 107
Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)
After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant between the Wisconsin OIC and the State of Minnesota's State Incident Manager (SIM)
Once a PAR is agreed upon by both states it is presented to the Wisconsiný Governor or his/her designee for approval. Upon approval of both Governor's of the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota, the OIC and SIM acknowledge that the PAR is now a Protective Action Decision (PAD) ready for implementation.
Potassium Iodide (KI) is pre-distributed on a voluntary basis to the general public living within the Pierce County 10 mile EPZ. Prior to an ALERT declaration at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, members of the public can acquire KI free of charge by using a voucher located in the annual calendar. The annual calendar was distributed by PINGP to residents within the EPZ in December of 2009. The voucher can be redeemed at Target Pharmacies located near the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The State of Wisconsin will demonstrate coordination with the State of Minnesota concerning the KI PAR and address concerns from the public (via Hotline calls). Once a PAD has been made for the general public, the State of Minnesota will issue a Special News Bulletin through the JIC stating: "If you live or work in the evacuation area and have potassium iodide, known as KI, readily available, you should take it now..."
Pierce County Pierce County's chief elected official (County Board Chair) or his/her designee will evaluate protective action recommendations from the State EOC and determine if those recommendations are appropriate for the local situation. Any change to protective action recommendations will be coordinated with the Wisconsin State EOC.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant receiving medical facility.
Demonstrate the capability to follow policies, implement procedures, and use equipment/facilities as delineated in the applicable emergency response plan I IV. EXTENT OF PLAY This objective will be demonstrated between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm on Monday, August 23, 2010, at the reception center at Elmwood School in Elmwood, WI. Elmwood Ambulance Service will prepare a simulated contaminated patient for transportation. Due to the distance l between Elmwood and Eau Claire, and the resulting time that the ambulance crew would be out of the service area, actual transportation will not be demonstrated. The demonstration of communications with the medical facility will take place according to the SOP for the I ambulance service. A description of the route and the selection of a hospital to transport the patient will be demonstrated through an evaluator's interview with the ambulance personnel.
V. NARRATIVE SCENARIO This simulated radiation accident begins as a member of the general public arrives at the I reception center in Elmwood. The individual has been evacuated from the area around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant due to an accident and release of radioactive materials. While driving to the reception center, Via a locally known shortcut, the person swerves to avoid a deer in a wooded area and drives off the road. While exiting the car in the I
ditch the individual trips on a downed tree branch, falling and striking their forehead on a rock resulting in a severe laceration. A short time later, while the victim lay dazed next to their I car, another vehicle comes along and stops to help. While assisting the injured person, both are exposed to the passing plume. Eventually they leave, driving the injured person to the reception center. U The driver tells reception center staff that the car and passengers may have been exposed to the radioactive plume resulting in potential contamination of both.
The ambulance crew stationed at the reception center treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and loads the individual into the ambulance for !transport to the hospital. Reception center staff is trained not to survey evacuees requiring immediate medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital. If reception center staff does choose to survey the victim, contamination levels are provided in Section VI below.
Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated.
The drill may be terminated when the patient is loaded and the notification of the hospital has 128

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant IV. EXTENT OF PLAY Medical staff and security personnel at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI, will demonstrate this objective on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, at about 9:00 am. A local ambulance service will participate by simulating the transport of a potentially contaminated patient to the hospital. The hospital will demonstrate radio communications with the ambulance and provide the necessary information to prompt the activation of the hospital's Radiation Emergency Area (REA).
Since area ambulance services may.not be familiar with contamination control procedures, hospital personnel will demonstrate the ability to direct the ambulance personnel. Hospital personnel will demonstrate the availability of, and capability to use, instruments for monitoring the transport vehicle and its crew.
The hospital personnel use a radiation source to ensure.that the instrument does respond; however, calibrated check sources are not used. The instruments are calibrated annually by a certified calibration facility.
V. NARRATIVE SCENARIO This simulated radiation accident begins as a member of the general public arrives at the reception center in Elmwood. The individual has been evacuated from the area around the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant due to an accident and release of radioactive materials. While driving to the reception center, via a locally known shortcut, the person.
swerves to avoid a deer in a wooded area and drives off the road.

Eventually they leave, driving the injured person to the reception center.
The hospital emergency staff meets the ambulance upon arrival. An initial patient assessment report is received and the patient is transferred to the REA. The hospital staff evaluates the patient medical condition and initiates appropriate treatment. The hospital radiation safety personnel perform a radiological survey o f the patient. Bioassay samples are taken from the wound and intact skin areas, as well as both nasal and mouth swab samples. Decontamination efforts are performed on the patient until surveys indicate background readings on previously contaminated areas. Particular attention to the decontamination of the laceration wound should be observed.
The patient is surveyed prior to transfer out of the REA. Appropriate exit procedures for the patient and REA personnel are performed. Surveys of the ambulance crew and vehicle are also performed prior to releasing the crew and vehicle. If the crew must leave, an interview with hospital staff will be done.

EXTENT OF PLAY This objective will be demonstrated between 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm on August 24, 2010, at the Ellsworth EMS station in Ellsworth, WI. The Ellsworth Ambulance Service will prepare a simulated contaminated patient for transportation. Due to the distance between Ellsworth and Eau Claire, and the resulting time that the ambulance crew would be out of the service area, actual transportation will not be demonstrated. The demonstration of communications with the medical facility will take place according to the SOP for the ambulance service. A description of the route and the selection of a hospital to transport the patient will be demonstrated through an evaluator's interview with the transportation personnel.
V. NARRATIVE SCENARIO This drill begins with a simulated radiological release at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. A member of the general population experiences a flat tire while attempting to evacuate the area. While changing the tire, the victim's car slips off of the jack and the jack strikes the victim in the left leg breaking the left fibula. While dealing with this situation the victim and their passenger believe they were exposed to the plume.
The passenger finishes changing the tire and drives the victim to Ellsworth to receive medial treatment at the EMS station. The driver informs the ambulance personnel that the they and the car are most likely radioactively contaminated from the plume.
The ambulance crew stationed in Ellsworth treats the victim, implements contamination control measures, and properly loads the individual into the ambulance for transport to the hospital. Ambulance staff are trained not to survey evacuees requiring.immediate.
medical attention, since thorough surveys will be performed at the receiving hospital.
General medical conditions of the victim can be found in Section V below.
The ambulance crew directs the remaining uninjured passenger to proceed to the reception center in Elmwood where both the car and the passenger can be screened for contamination and decontaminated if necessary.
Due to the long distance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, transport will be simulated. The drill may be terminated when victim is loaded and the notification of the hospital has been completed. Notification of Sacred Heart Hospital will occur according to established SOPs.
