The nearest major population center with more than 25,000 people is Harrisburg (population 53,624), which lies just over 10 miles to the north.Twenty-threeindustrial firms are located within a 5-mile radius; they employ approximately 2,400 people. The Harrisburg International Airport is located 2 miles northwest of the TMI plant. An NRC estimate of aircraft risk to TMI Units One and Two'indicates an acceptably low risk for either unit, provided fewer than 2,400 operations per year are by aircraft in excess of 200,000 pounds. The NRC requires Exelon to continue periodic monitoring arid reporting of airport usage and, will reevaluat6 the adequacy of plant protection if aircraft traffic is reliably projected to exceed 2,400 operations per year.The major railroads operating in the EPZ include Amtrak, Blue Mountain. | 5 | ||
and Ridge, Chessie System, Norfolk Southern, and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad.The climate of the five-county risk EPZ is mild and humid. Weather is variable because the prevailing westerlywinds bring both high- and. low-pressure systems through the area every few days. Average annual precipitation for the southern portion of the county is about 38 inches, and the average annual temperature is 52 degrees F.On the basis of the 2000 census, the total population ofthe 10-mile EPZ is 201,800.There are 96 sirens used to provide coverage of the plume exposure pathway EPZ. The county in which it is located operates each siren system.7 B.

Exercise Evaluation Area Criteria and Extent of Play Agreement This appendix contains the extent of play agreement from the Coinmonfwealth Of Pennsylvania approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region III on March 4, 2009. | |||
The exercise'evaluation area criteria, contained in the "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise EvaluationMethodology", 67 FR 20580,*April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiolo6gical Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980. | |||
Because the exercise evaluation area criteria are intended for use at all niuclearpower plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent of play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by FEMA to pro'vide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the evaluation area criteria. | |||

RESOLVED PLANNING ISSUES Franklin County Mass Care - Faust Jr. High School Issue Number:64-03-6.a.1-P-05 Condition: The emergency plan for Franklin County lists Faust Junior High School as one of three monitoring/decontamination centers; However, all monitoring and decontamination would be performed:at the Reception Center at Scotland School. | |||
Corrective Action Demonstrated: This issue has been administratively closed. | |||
Faust Jr. High School is no longer used-for Franklin County Mass Care. | |||
Cumberland County Monitoring/Decontamination - Shippensburg University Issue Number: 64-05-6.a.1-P-01 Condition: Only one portal monitor Was planned for the initial intake at the entrance to the decontamination and monitoring facility. However, two other portal monitors were available. | |||
Monitoring an evacuee, with the portal monitor, requires approximately 10-15 seconds per person, if uncontaminated. Therefore, the required 5,820 people would take approximately 1455 minutes or 24 hours to go Ihrough this single portal, if :: -- -, | |||
everyone were uncontaminated. All three portal monitors are necessary at the initial monitoring station to meet the monitoring requirements and allow for delays caused by processing contaminated individuals. | |||
Corrective Action Demonstrated: On Wednesday, April 15, 2009, at the Henderson Gymnasium, Shippensburg University, Shippensburg, PA, Cumberland County successfully demonstrated the abilityto monitor evacuees in a timely manner. Cumberland County is responsible for receiving 5820 evacuees from Dauphin County at Shippensburg University. 20% (1164) must be monitored in twelve hours. Using aportal monitor, sixevacuees were successfully monitored in 32 seconds. This is a rate of ten evacuees per minute or 600 per hour. Even at half this rate (300 per hour) the required 1164 could be monitored in less than four hours. | |||

Corrective Action Demonstrated: A floor plan showing the designated areas for emergency vehiclemonitoring and decontamination was prepared and was in use during the 2009 exercise at the Lebanon County Emergency Worker Monitoring and -Decontamination Station at Annville Union HoseFire Company. | |||
Dauphin County Mass Care Center - Upper Dauphin Complex Issue Number: 64-07-6.c.1-P-01 Condition: The capacity of the Upper Dauphin School Complex. Mass Care Center shown in the Dauphin County Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Emergency Operations Plan, Supplemental Ihformation,: Dauphin County Mass Care Center Capacities (dated 3-19-03) does not agreewith the capacity indicated in the Shelter Facility Survey (Form 6564). The Plan indicates the capacity for the Upper Dauphin School Complex Mass Care Center is 540 for the | |||
,,,:Elementary School and 530 for the Middle School for a total capacity of 1070. | |||
The Shelter Facility Survey, (for both schools combined) indicates.evacuation capacity of 352 at 20 squarefeet.per person and general capacity of 117 at 60 square feet per person. | |||
Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Central Dauphin Schoot.Distridt Plan (December 2008), which supports the Dauphin County Emergency Operations Plan, contains a Mass Care Center Capacities attachment which accurately-reflects the capacity information from the Red Cross Shelter Facility Surveys for all Mass Care facilities in Dauphin County.,. This*inclides the Upper Dauphin School Complex Mass Care Center which was evaluated in 2007, as well as the Upper Dauphin High School,which is being evaluated in this exercise. | |||
Lancaster County Emergency, Operations Center, Issue Number: 64-47-5.b.1-P-02 Condition: The evacuation route for residents of East Donegal Township (North of Donegal Springs Road) is incorrectly stated in the plan. | |||
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Annex E, Appendix 10, page E-10-5 was updated in December 2008. The information in the plan is now, accurate and 1-28, | |||
reflects the information provided to the public in the "Important TMI Emergency Information" section of the: Cumberland,: Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and 'York County's telephone books. | |||
Elizabethtown Borough Back-up Route Alerting Issue Number: 64-07-5.a.3-P-03 Condition: Route Alerting Maps contained in the Elizabethtown Regional EMA Emergency Operations Plan are out of date and do notreflect thecurrent number of new developments and roads that have been built. | |||
..Corrective Action Demonstrated: The maps for the Lancaster County municipalities have been revised and incorporated into the Elizabethtown Borough plan. | |||
Dauphin County, Steelton-Highspire School District - Steelton-Highspire-High School Issue Number: 64-07-3.C.2-P-05 Condition:. The Steelton-Highspire School Di'trict Emergency Operations Plan is | |||
:!confusing in regards to Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs) and Emergency Conditions listed in the plan. | |||
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Adoption: of the updated emergency plan clears Issue Number 64-07-3.c.2-P-05. The new plan explicitly identifies actions to be taken by specified staff at each ECL. | |||
PRIOR PLANNINGISSUES UNRESOLVED,.': | |||
State Emergency Operations Center Issue Number: 64-03-6.c.l-P-01 Condition: PopulationCensus-data contained in the Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan is not based on the most current census information available. | |||
The population for the Three Mile Island EmergencyPlanning:Zone is basedon the 1990 Census. (Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan, Annex E, Appendix 4, Attachment F, page E-4-16; NUREG-0654,J.10.h;7J.,12):. | |||
Reason Issue Remains Unresolved: The State has developed Interim Guidance, "Attachment E, Three Mile Island Nuclear GerieratingStation, Site. | |||
Characteristics." Tab 1 ("Attachment E, TMI EPZ Information") includes a table which reflects the risk population and mass care requirement for each EPZ municipality. based on the 2000 Census. However, the plan has not been revised. | |||
129ý | |||
Therefore, until the plan is updated reflecting current EPZ population data, this issue remains-open. | |||
Schedule of Corrective Actions: Issue will be resolved once the new plan is completed and issued. | |||
Lebanon County Monitoring/Decontamination and Mass Care Center - Northern Lebanon High School Issue Number: 64-05-6.a.1-P-06 Condition: Attachment A of Appendix 13 indicates, that "'mass care centers for evacuees will serve as points where radiologicalcontamination monitoring and decontamination will be conducted," (See Page E-1,3-,11.) Additionally, Appendix 12 instructs the Mass Care Coordinator to "ensure that trained monitoring/ | |||
decontamination teams have reported to each mass care center..." However, during the demonstration. the Mass Care Coordinator stated that monitoring and decontamination would be done at the reception center. | |||
Reason Issue Remains Unresolved: Attachment A, Appendix 13 (Page E-13-11) of the Lebanon County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex E, Part One has been changed to read "mass care centers and sometimes Reception Centers, e.g. | |||
Lebanon County Career and Technical Center, for evacuees will serve as points where radiological contamination monitoring and decontamination will be conducted." | |||
However, Attachment A, Appendix 12 (Page E-12-2) of the same County Plan still states that the Mass Care Coordinator will "ensure that trained monitoring/decontamination teams have reported to each mass care center..." | |||
This is an inaccuracy because not all mass care center locations in the County perform monitoring and decontamination functions. | |||
Schedule of Corrective Actions: This incongruity will be corrected in the next plan revision. | |||
Dauphin County, Harrisburg School District - Harrisburg Career/Technical Academy Issue Number: 64-07-3.c.2-P-04 Condition: | |||
In section II, Purpose, the February 2005 version of the Harrisburg School District Emergency Evacuation Plan for TMI states, "This plan addresses the phased evacuation of schools in proximity to, but not within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone". There is no additional information on the phased evacuation in the body of the plan. | |||

SUMMARY
On April 14, 2009, a full-scale plume exercise was conducted in the 10-mile plume exposure pathway, emergency planning zone (EPZ) around the Three Mile Island Generating Station (TMI) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region III. Out-of-sequence demonstrations were conducted on April 14 and 15, 2009. The purpose of the exercise and the out-of-sequence demonstrations was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. The exercise and out-of-sequence demonstrations were held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance concerning the exercise of State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERP) and procedures.
The most recent prior full-scale exercise at this site was conducted on April 17, 2007.
FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the risk counties of Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York; the risk jurisdictions of Conewago Township, Co noy Township, Fairview Township, Goldsboro Borough, Hellam Township, Hummelstown Borough, Lower Allen Township, Middletown/Royalton Boroughs, South Londonderry Township, and York Haven Borough; and the support counties of Adams, Franklin, and Schuylkill who were evaluated at this.exercise.
Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.
Cooperation and teamwork of all the participants were evident during this exercise.
This report contains the final evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence activities:
Reception Center/Monitoring and Decontamination and Mass Care: Conducted on April 15, 2009 in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Schuylkill Counties.
" Emergency Worker Monitoring. and Decontamination: Conducted on April 15, 2009 in Cumberland, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York Counties.
Traffic/Access Control: Conducted on April 15, 2009 at the Harrisburg State Police Barracks.
" Schools: Conducted on April 14, 2009 in Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York Counties.
The State and local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were no Deficiencies and three Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) identified as a result of this exercise; one of the ARCAs was successfully re-demonstrated during the exercise. Two 1
ARCAs from a previous exercise were successfully demonstrated at this exercise; one additional previous ARCA was closed administratively. Three new planning issues were identified, seven planning issues from previous exerciseswere successfully demonstrated, and three planning issues from a previous exercise remain unresolved (see Appendix 5 for all planning issues).

II. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assume the lead responsibility for all off-site nuclear planning and response. FEMA's activities were 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 Generating Station accident in March 1979.
44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for FEMA's initial and continued approval of Tribal, State, and local governments' radiological emergency planning and preparedness for commercial nuclear power plants. This approval is contingent, in part, on State and local government participation in joint exercises with licensees.
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 Radiological Emergency Response Plans (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 the following Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:
U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of the Interior, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Representatives of these agencies serve on the Region III Radiological Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by FEMA.
3
A REP exercise was conducted on April 14, 2009, to assess the capabilities of State and local emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving Three Mile Island Generating Station (TMI). The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the off-site response organizations (OROs) during, a simulated radiological emergency.
The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluator team, with final determinations made by the FEMA Region III RAC Chairperson and approved by FEMA Headquarters.
These reports are provided to the NRC and participating States. State and local governments utilize the findings contained in these reports for the purposes of planning, training, and improving emergency response capabilities.
The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in the following:
- NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980;
- FEMA Guidance Memoranda MS-I, "Medical Services," November 1986;
- FEMA-REP-14, "Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual," September 1991;
- 66 FR 47546, "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Alert and Notification,"
September 12, 2001; and
- 67 FR 20580, "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology," April 25, 2002.
Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview," presents basic information and data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
Section IV of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed information on the demonstration of applicable exercise evaluation areas at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. This section also contains:
(1) descriptions of all Deficiencies and Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the Tribal, State, and local governments' schedule of corrective actions for each identified exercise issue and (2) descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and resolved at this exercise, 4
including the corrective action demonstrated, as well as ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and scheduled for demonstration at this exercise which remain unresolved.
The final section of the report is comprised of the appendices, which present the following supplementary information: acronyms and abbreviations, exercise evaluators and.team leaders; exercise evaluation area criteria and extent of play agreement, and the exercise scenario. It also presents information on planning issues (both new planning issues identified during this exercise and resolved planning issues identified during previous exercises).

HI. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the April 14, 2009 exercise to test the off-site emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding Three Mile Island Generating Station (TMI). This section of the exercise report includes a description of the plume pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ), a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities that were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.
A.
Plume Emergency Planning Zone Description The TMI Generating Station (400 9" 12" N/760 43' 25" W) is. a nuclear power plant operated by Exelon Nuclearn The site 'consists of two pressurized water-type units. Unit One is an 819-megawatt (MW) reactor, and Unit Two is a 906-MW reactor. Unit 1 received, its license in June -1974 and begancommercial operation in September 1974.
'Unit 2 began commercial operation in February 197-8; it was damaged in March 1979 and has been shut down and placed in a monitored 'storagemode.,
The minimum exclusion distance specified for the TMI plant is 2,000 feet. Included within the 2,000-foot radius are a portion of Three, Mile Island, a portion of Shelly Island, and a portion of the Susquehanna River. Exelon-Nuclear: and GPU 'Nuclear Corporation own all the land within the exclusion area.
The TMI plant is located in south-central Pennsylvania in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County. The site is part of an 814-acre tract consisting of several adjacent islands in the Susquehanna River. The power plant is located on Three Mile Island, which is one of the largest islands of the group. The site is at an elevation of 300 feet above mean sea level, relatively flat, and wooded on the periphery and the southern portion. Of the 470 acres that make up the island, the plant occupies approximately 200 acres in the northern portion.
Soils on the island are of the Duncannon-Chavies-Tioga Association, which is comprised of deposits of alluvial sand, silt, and clay. Underlying bedrock is red sandstone and shale.
The normal pool elevation of the Susquehanna River in this area is 277 feet above mean sea level. Hills on both sides of the river in this vicinity rise to elevations of over 500 feet. The plant grade is 300 feet above mean sea level.
An access bridge for plant personnel connects State Route 441 with the north end of the island. A wooden bridge connects the southern portion of the island with State Route 441.
Conrail lines are located on both sides of the river; the closest is a one-track line adjacent and parallel to Route 441 on the east shore.
6
The area within 10 miles of the TMI Generating Station is located in south-central Pennsylvania, and includes portions of Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties. The siteis surrounded mostly by farmland within a 10-mile radius. The nearest community is Goldsboro Borough, on the'west shore of the Susquehanna River, 1 mile from'the plant. The nearest major population center with more than 25,000 people is Harrisburg (population 53,624), which lies just over 10 miles to the north.
Twenty-threeindustrial firms are located within a 5-mile radius; they employ approximately 2,400 people. The Harrisburg International Airport is located 2 miles northwest of the TMI plant. An NRC estimate of aircraft risk to TMI Units One and Two' indicates an acceptably low risk for either unit, provided fewer than 2,400 operations per year are by aircraft in excess of 200,000 pounds. The NRC requires Exelon to continue periodic monitoring arid reporting of airport usage and, will reevaluat6 the adequacy of plant protection if aircraft traffic is reliably projected to exceed 2,400 operations per year.
The major railroads operating in the EPZ include Amtrak, Blue Mountain. and Ridge, Chessie System, Norfolk Southern, and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad.
The climate of the five-county risk EPZ is mild and humid. Weather is variable because the prevailing westerlywinds bring both high-and. low-pressure systems through the area every few days. Average annual precipitation for the southern portion of the county is about 38 inches, and the average annual temperature is 52 degrees F.
On the basis of the 2000 census, the total population ofthe 10-mile EPZ is 201,800.
There are 96 sirens used to provide coverage of the plume exposure pathway EPZ. The county in which it is located operates each siren system.

Status of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating 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 evaluation area 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 evaluation area criteria under which one or more Deficiencies were assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended c6rrectiveactions.
Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise evaluation area criteria under which one or more ARCAs Were assessed during the current exercise. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial'exercise.;
- 'Not Demonstrated -Listing of the exercise evaluation area criteria that were scheduled tobe demonstrated during this exercise, but were not demonstrated and the reason they were not demonstrated.
- Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessedduring 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 are the reasons the ARCAs remain 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 are discussed in this report.
A Deficiency is defined in the 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 to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant."
24
- An ARCA is defined in the 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 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a standardized system for numbering exercise issues (Deficiencies and ARCAs). This system is used to achieve consistency in numbering exercise issues among FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It is also used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis..
The identifying number for Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-)..
0 Plant Site Identifier,- A two-digit number corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Codes.
a Exercise,Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
Evaluation Area Criterion A letter and number corresponding to the criteria in the FEMA REP Exercise Evaluation Methodology.
Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A =ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports.
- Exercise Issue Identification Number - A separate two digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.,

Issue Number; 64-09-6.a.1-A-O1 (6.a.1 Re-demonstrated)
ICondition: During vehicle monitoring at Shippensburg University, the individual performing the survey was holding the probe three to four inches away from the vehicle and did not adequately survey the wheel wells where contamination is most likely to be found.
Possible Cause: Lack of adequate training in vehicle survey techniques.
Reference:
NUREG-0654, K.5.b 29
Effect: Improper survey techniques could have resulted in not detecting contamination. As a result contamination could have been spread when the vehicle was released.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Prior to re-demonstration, the controller trained the, individual on proper survey techniques including why they are used. The monitor then resumed the vehicle survey and successfully completed it.

Recommendation: Make sure that all DRDs are tested for electrical leakage at least annually.
Schedule of Corrective Actions: Agreed. Measures will be implemented to ensure leak tests are conducted annually and the results are recorded:d.

Although the monitoring/decontamination forms were filled out properly,,there was a misunderstanding about what to, do with the. forms afterward. There is no procedure to collect the forms and direct them to the proper 35
destination. A procedure should be developed to direct monitoring forms to the proper location. (NUREG-0654, J.12)

Issue Number: 64-09-3.a.1-A-03 Condition: The backup route alerting team members were receiving a radiological brief and being issued dosimetry when the notification of a failed siren was received at the Conoy Emergency Operations Center, delaying the start of their runs for 15 minutes.
36
Possible Cause: The backup route alerting team did not receive briefing and dosimetry immediately upon reporting for duty.
References:
NUREG-0654, E.6; Appendix 3, Section B.2(c)
Effect: Members of the general public located where the siren failed may not have received prompt notification of an emergency.
Recommendation: ProVide radiological briefings and issue dosimetry as soon as the route alerting team reports for duty and perform any other actions needed to prevent delay of the backup notification.
Schedule of Corrective' Actions: Agreed. Procedures will be clarified and additional training will be provided to ensure unnecessary delays are prevented in the future.

APPENDIX 3:
Exercise Evaluation Area Criteria and Extent of Play Agreement This appendix contains the extent of play agreement from the Coinmonfwealth Of Pennsylvania approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region III on March 4, 2009.
The exercise'evaluation area criteria, contained in the "FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise EvaluationMethodology", 67 FR 20580,*April 25, 2002, represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiolo6gical Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," November 1980.
Because the exercise evaluation area criteria are intended for use at all niuclearpower plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an extent of play agreement is prepared by the State and approved by FEMA to pro'vide evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the evaluation area criteria.

- b. Support counties may likewise request approval from the State EOC to terminate the exercise upon completion of all evaluated objectives.
- c. The risk county EOCs will remain operational until the exercise is officially terminated by the State. The State EOC will issue an Exercise Termination Message.
- 12.
General Concepts An emergency plan exists to address the generally expected conditions of an emergency.
Not everything in the emergency plan may be applicable for a given scenario. The main purpose of an emergency plan is to assemble sufficient expertise and officials so as to properly react to the events as they occur. The responders should not be so tied to a plan that they cannot take actions that are more protective of the public. Therefore, if, by not following the plan, the responders protect the public equally as well as provided in the plan, it should be noted for possible modification of the plan, but not classified as a negative incident. Furthermore, if, by following the plan there is a failure to protect the 72
public health and safety, it should be noted so that the plan can be modified and the appropriate negative assessment applied.
- 13.
Re-demonstrations Any activity that is not satisfactorily demonstrated may be re-demonstrated by the participants duringthe exercise, provided it does not negatively interfere with the exercise.
Refresher training may be provided by the players, observers, and/or controllers.
Evaluators are not permitted to provide refresher training. Re-demonstrations will be negotiated between the players, observers, controllers, and evaluators. PEMA may advise the RAC Chair prior to initiating' any re-demonstrations. It is permissible to extend the demonstration window, within reason, to accommodate the re-demonstration. Activities corrected from are-demonstration will be so noted..

Sub-element 2.b. - Radiological Assessment and Protective Action Recommendations and Decisions for the Plume Phase of the Emergency INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the capability to use all available data to independently -project integrated dose, and compare the estimated dose savings with the protective~action guides. OROs have the capability to choose,, among a range.of protective actions, those most appropriate in a given emergency situation. OROs base these choices on PAGs from the ORO's' plans and procedures or EPA 400-R-92-001 and other criteria, such as, plant conditions, licensee protective action recommendations, coordination of protective action decisions with other political jurisdictions (for example, other affected OROs), availability of appropriate in-place shelter, weather conditions., and situations that-create higher than normal risk from evacuation.
Criterion 2.b. 1-: Appropriate protective action recommendations are based on available information on plant conditions, field monitoring data, and licensee and ORO dose projections;:
as well as knowledge of onsite and offsite environmental conditions. (NUREG-0654, 1.8, 10 and Supplement 3),
EXTENT OF PLAY During the initial stage of the emergency response, following notification of plant conditions that may warrant, offsite protective actions, theOROshould demonstrate the capability touse appropriate means, described in'the'plan.and/or procedures, to develop protective action' recommendations (PARs) for decision-makers based on available information and..
recommendations from the. licensee and: field, monitoring data, if available.
When.the licensee provides release and meteorological data, the ORO also considers these data.'
The ORO should demonstrate a reliable capability to independently validate dose projections.
The types of calculations to be demonstrated depend on the data available and the need for assessments to support'the PARs appropriate to the scenario.:. In all cases, calculation of projecteddose should be demonstrated. Projected doses should be related to quantities and units of the PAGs to which they will be compared. PARs should be promptly transmitted. to decision-makers in a prearranged format.
Differences greater than a factor of,10 between projected doses by the licensee andthe ORO should be discussed with the licenseemwithrespect tothe input data and assumptions used, the use of different models, or other possible reasons. Resolution of these differences should be incorporated into the PAR if timely and appropriate. The ORO should demonstrate the ;,
capability to use any additional data to refine projected doses and exposure rates and revise the associated PARs.

Sub-element 2.c - Protective Action Decisions Consideration for the Protection of Special Populations INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides: that Offsite. Response Organizations (ORO) should have the capability to determine protective action recommendations, including evacuation,, sheltering and useof potassium iodide (KI), if applicable, for special population groups (for example, hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, schools,. licensed day care centers, mobility impaired individuals, and transportation dependent individuals). Focus is on those special population groups that are (or potentially will be) affected by a radiological release~from a nuclear power plant.
Criterion 2.c.1: Protective action decisions are.made, as appropriate, for special population groups. (NUREG-0654, J.9; J.1A.d, e)
EXTENT OF PLAY Usually, it is appropriate to implement evacuation in areas where doses are projected to exceed the lower end of the range of PAGs; except for situations where there is a high-risk environment or where high-risk groups (e.g., the immobile or infirm) are involved. In these cases, examplesof factors that should be considered are weather conditions, shelter availability, availability of transportation assets, risk of evacjuation.-vs.,risk from the avoided dose, and precautionary.school evacuations., In situations were an institutionalized population cannot be evacuated, the administration of K1. should be considered by the OROs.
Applicable OROs should demonstrate the capability to alert and notify all.public school, systems/districts of emergency conditions that are expected to or may necessitate protective actions for students. Contacts with public school systems/districts must be actual.
In accordance with plans and/or procedures, OROs and/or officials of pubic school systems/districts should demonstrate the capability to make prompt decisions on protective actions for students.
Officials should demonstrate that the decision making process for protective actions considers (that is, either accepts automatically or gives heavy weight to) protective action recommendations made by ORO personnel, the ECL at which these recommendations are received, preplanned strategies for protective actions for that ECL,, and the location of students at the time (for example, whether the -
students are still at home; en route to the school, or at the school).
All decision-making activities associated with protective actions, including consideration of available resources, for special population groups must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.

Sub-element 2.d. - Radiological Assessment and Decision-Makin' for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway INTENT This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response.
Organizations (ORO) have the means to assess the radiological consequences. for the ingestion exposure pathway, relate them to the appropriate PAGs, and make timely, appropriate protective, action decisions to mitigate exposure from the ingestion pathway.
During an accident at a nuclear power plant, a release of radioactive material may contaminate water supplies and agricultural products in the surrounding areas. Any such contamination would likely occur during the plume phase of the accident and, depending on the nature of the release, could impact the ingestion pathway for weeks or years.
PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play:
This sub-element will not be demonstrated or evaluated during this exercise.
Sub-element 2.e. =- Radiological Assessment andDecision-Making Concerning Relocation, Re-entry, and Return Relocation: OROs should demonstrate the capability-to estimate integrated dose in contaminated, areas and to compare these estimates with PAGs, apply decision criteria, for relocation: of those individuals in the general public who have not been evacuated but where projected doses are in excess of relocation PAGs, and control access to evacuated and restricted areas. Decisions are made for relocating members of-the evacuated public who lived in areas that now have residual radiation levels in excess of the PAGs.
Determination of areas to be restricted should be based on factors such as the mix of radio nuclides in deposited materials, calculated exposure rates vs. the PAGs, and.field samples of vegetation and soil analyses..
Re-entry: 'Decisions should be made regarding the location of control points and. policies regarding access and exposure'control for emergency workers -and members of the general public who. need to temporarily enter the evacuated area to perform specific tasks or missions.
Examples of control procedures are: the assignment of, or checking for, direct-reading and non-direct-reading dosimetry for emergency workers; questions regarding the individual's objectives and locations: ekpected to be visited and associated time' frames; availabilitylof maps and plots of radiation exposure rates;, advice onareas to avoid; and procedures for exit including: monitoring of individuals., vehicles, and equipment; decision criteria regarding decontamination,;:and proper::-
disposition of emergency worker dosimetry and maintenance; of emergency worker 'radiation exposure records.
Responsible OROs should demonstrate the capability to develop a strategy for authorized re-entry of individuals into the restricted zone, based on established decision criteria. OROs should 83
demonstrate the capability to modify those policies.for security purposes (e.g.,police patrols), for maintenance of essential services (e.g., fire protection and utilities), and for, other critical-functions.
They should demonstrate the capability to use decision-making criteria in allowing access to the restricted zone by the public for various reasons, such as to maintain property (e.g.,.to care for farm animals or secure machinery for storage), or to retrieve important possessions. Coordinated policies for~access and exposure control should be developed among all agencies with roles to perform in the restricted zone. OROs should demonstrate the capability to establish policies for provision of, dosimetry to all individuals allowed to re-enter, the restricted zone. The extent that OROs need to develop policies onre-entry will be determined by scenario events.
Return: Decisions are to be based on environmental data and political boundaries or physical/geological features, which allow identification of the boundaries of areas to which members of the general public may return. Return is permitted to the boundary of the restricted area that is based on the relocation PAG.
Other factors that the ORO should consider are, for example: conditions that permit the cancellation of the Emergency Classification Level and the relaxation of associated restrictive measures; basing return recommendations (i.e.; permitting populations that were previously evacuated to reoccupy their homes and businesses on an unrestricted basis) on measurements of radiation. from ground deposition; and the capability, to identify, services and facilities that require restoration within a few days and to identify the procedures and resources for their restoration., 'Examples of these services and facilities are: medicaland social services, utilities, roads, schools, and intermediate term housing for relocated persons.

This sub-element will not be demonstrated or evaluated during this exercise.
EVALUATION AREA 3 Protective Action Implementation Sub-element 3.a - Implementationý of Emerrency Worker Exposure Control INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs shouldhave the capability to provide for the~following: distribution, use,. collection, and processing of direct-readingdosimetry and, permanent record dosimetry; the reading of direct-reading dosimetry by emergency workers at.
appropriate frequencies; maintaining aradiation dose record for each emergency worker; and establishing a decision chain or authorization.procedure for emergency workers to incur radiation.
exposures in excess of protective action guides, always applying the ALARA (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable) principle as, appropriate.,
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 84
read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart. (NUREG-0654, K.3.a, b)
EXTENT OF PLAY OROs should demonstrate the capabilityto provide-appropriate direct-reading and permanent record dosimetry, dosimeter chargers, and instructions on the use of dosimetry to emergency workers.. For evaluation purposes, appropriate direct-reading dosimetry is defined as dosimetry that allows individual(s) to read the administrative reporting limits (that are pre-established at a level low enough to consider subsequent calculation of Total Effective Dose Equivalent) and maximum exposure limits (for those-emergency workers involved in life saving activities) contained in the ORO's plans and procedures.
Each emergency worker should have the basic knowledge of radiation exposure limits.as specified in the ORO's plan and/or procedures. Procedures to monitor and record dosimeter readings and to manage radiological exposure control should be demonstrated.
During'a plume phase exercise, emergency workers should.demonstrate the procedures to be followed when administrative exposure 'limits and turn-back Values are reached. The' emergency worker should report accumulated exposures'during the exerciseas indicated in the plans and procedures. -OROs should demonstrate the actions described in the plan and/or procedures by determining whether to replace the worker, to authorize -the worker to incur additional* exposures or to take other actions. If scenario events do not require emergency workersto seek authorizations for additional exposure, evaluators should interview at least two emergency workers, to determine their knowledge of whom to contact in the event authorization is needed and at what exposure levels'.
Emergency workers may use any available resources (for example, written procedures and/or co-workers) in providing responses.
Although it is desirable for all emergency workers to each have a direct-reading dosimeter, :there' may be situations where team members will be in close proximity to each-other during the-etuire mission and adequate control of exposure can be effected for all members of the team by one dosimeter worn by the team leader. Emergency workers :who areassigned'to low exposure rate.,
areas, for example, at reception centers, counting laboratories, emergency operations centers, and communications centers, may have individual direct-reading dosimeters or they may be monitored by dosimeters strategically placed in the work area. It should be noted that, even in these situations, each team member must still have their own permanent record dosimetry. Individuals without specific radiological response missions, such as farmers for animal care, essential utility service personnel, or other members of the public who must re-enter an evacuated area following or during the plume passage,' should, be limited to the lowest radiological exposure commensurate with' completing their missions.
All activities must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.,
85
PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play:

EVALUATION AREA 4 Field Measurement and Analysis.
Sub-element 4.a - Plume Phase Field Measurements and Analyses
- INTENT, This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that OROs should have the capability to deploy field teams with the equipment, methods, and expertise necessary to determine the location of airborne radiation and particulate deposition on the ground from-an.
airborne plume. In addition, NUREG-0654 indicates that OROs should have the capability to use field teams within, the plume emergency, planning zone to measure airborne radioiodine in the presence of noble gases andtomeasure radiioactiye particulate material in the airborne plume. In the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant, the possible release, of radioactiye material may pose a risk to the nearby population and environment. Although accident assessment methods are available _to project the extent and magnitude of:a release,-these methods are subject to. large uncertainties,. During an accident, it is important to collect field.radiological data in order to help characterize any radiological release., Adequate equipment and procedures are essential to such field measurement efforts.
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 radioiodineý and particplates. (NUREG-0654, H.10; 1.7, 8, 9)
EXTENT OFPLAY Field teams should be equipped with all instrumentation and supplies necessary to accomplish their mission. This should include instruments capable of measuring gamma exposure rates and.detecting the presence of beta radiation. These instruments should be capable of measuring a range of activity and exposure, includingradiological. protection/exposure control of team members and detection of activity on the. air sample collection media, consistent with the intended use of the instrument and the ORO's plans and procedures. An appropriate radioactive check source should be used to verify proper operational response for each low range radiation measurement instrument (less than 1 R/hr) and for high range instruments when available. If a source is not available for a high range instrument, a procedure should exist to operationally test the instrument before entering an area where only a high range instrument can make useful readings.

This monitoring productivity rate per hour is the number of evacuees that can be monitored per-hour by the total complement of monitors using an appropriate monitoring procedure. A minimum of six individuals per monitoring station should be monitored, using equipment and procedures.
specified in the plan and/or procedures, to-allow demonstration of monitoring, decontamination, and registration capabilities. The monitoring sequences for the first six simulated evacuees per monitoringteam will be timed by the evaluators in order to determine.whether the twelve-hour requirement can be meet. Monitoring of emergency workers does not have to meet the twelve-104
hour requirement. However, appropriate monitoring procedures should be demonstrated for a minimum of two emergency workers.
Decontamination of evacuees/emergency workers may be simulated and conducted by interview.
The availability of provisions for separately showering should be demonstrated or explained. The staff should demonstrate provisions for limiting the spread of contamination. Provisions could include floor coverings, signs and appropriate means (for example, partitions, roped-off areas) to separate clean from potentially contaminated areas. Provisions should also exist to separate contaminated and uncontaminated individuals, provide changes of clothing. for individuals whose clothing is contaminated, and store contaminated clothing and personal belongings to prevent further. contaminat~ion o.f evacuees.or fadilities..In addition, for any indiv.idual found toibe.
contaminated, procedures should be discussed concerning the handling.Qf potential contamination of vehicles and personal belongings.
Monitoring personnel should explain the use of action levels for determining the need for decontamination. They should also. explain the procedures for~referring evacuees who cannot be, adequately decontaminated for assessment and follow up in accordance with the ORO's plarns and procedures., Contamination of the individual will be determined by controller inject and not simulated with any low-level radiation source.
The capability to register individuals upon completion:of the monitoring and decontamination activities should be demonstrated. The registration activities-.demonstrated-should include the establishment of axregistration iecord for each individual;:'consisting of the it-dividuaFs:name, address, results of monitoring, and time of decontaminatien, ifany,, or as otherwise designated in the plan.

Sub-element 6.b - Monitoring and Decontamination of Emergency Worker Equipment INTENT This sub-element derivesfrom NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) have the -capability to implement radiological monitoring and decontamination of emergency worker equipment, including vehicles.
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. (NUREG-0654, K.5.b)
EXTENT OF PLAY, The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to monitor equipment, including vehicles, for contamination in accordance with the Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) plans and procedures. Specific attention should be given to'equipment, including-vehicles,ý that was in contact with individuals found to be contaminated. The monitoring staff should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need-for decontamination of equipment, including' vehicles, based on guidance leveis and procedures stated in the plan'and/or procedures&.
The area to be used for monitoring and decontamination should be set up as it would be in an actual emergency, with' all route markings, instrumentation, e1-rordjkeeping and contamination' control measures in place. Monitoring procedures should bedemonstrated for a minimum of one vehiclel,, It is generally not necessary to monitor the entire surface of vehicles. However, the capability to monitor areas such as radiator grills, bumpers, wheel wells, tires, and door handles should be demonstrated.,, Interior surfaces of vehicles thatwere-in contact with individuals found to be contaminated should also be checked.
Decontamination capabilities, and provisions for vehicles and equipmentthat cannot be',
decontaminated, may be simulated and conducted by interview., -,
All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play:
Emergency worker station personnel will consist of a minimum of one monitor and one recorder and sufficient personnel to demonstrate monitoring of at least one vehicle. Schemdtics of these monitoring/decontamination stations will be available to show organization and space
`"
management. The evaluator will request that vehicle decontamination procedures be explained after the vehicle (with simulated contamination) has been monitored. One radiological survey meter, will be issued to each vehicle monitoring/decontamination %team. One.vehicle and/or,
piece of equipment will not be-able to be decontaminated. Simulated radiation contamination data will be included in the scenario package, and injected by a controller. Set-up of the facility 107
will be performed as closely as possible to that for an actual emergency with all route markings in place.
Decontamination capabilities, and provisions for vehicles and equipment that cannot be decontaminated,, will be simulated and conducted by interview. Water will NOT be used.
Sub-element 6.c - Temporary Care of Evacuees INTENT This sub-element derives from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) demonstrate the capability to establish' relocation centers in host areas. The American Red Cross (ARC) normally provides congregate care in support of OROs under existing letters of agreement.
Criterion 6.c.1: 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 asappropriate before entering congregate care facilities. (NUREG-0654, J.10.h; J.12)
EXTENT OF PLAY Under this criterion, demonstration of congregate care centers may be conducted out of sequence with the exercise scenario. The evaluator should conduct a walk-through of the center to determine, through observation and inquiries, that the services and accommodations are consistent with ARC 3031. In this simulation, it is not necessary to set up operations as they would be in an actual emergency. Alternatively, capabilities may be demonstrated by setting up stations for various services and providing those services to simulated evacuees. Given the substantial differences between demonstration and simulation of this objective, exercise demonstration expectations should be clearly specified in extent-of-play agreements.
Congregate care staff should also demonstrate the capability to ensure that evacuees have been monitored for contamination, have been decontaminated as appropriate, and have been registered before entering the facility. This capability may be determined through an interview process.
If operations at the center are demonstrated, material that would be difficult or expensive to transport (for example, cots, blankets, sundries, and large-scale food supplies) need not be physically available at the facility (facilities). However, availability of such items should be verified by providing the evaluator a list of sources with locations and estimates of quantities.
All activities associated with this criterion must be based on the ORO's plans and procedures and completed, as they would be in an actual emergency, unless noted above or otherwise indicated in the extent of play agreement.
108
PEMA Negotiated Extent of Play:
All counties demonstrating the operation of mass care centers during the out-of-sequence window will provide floor plans of the mass care centers to show organization within the facility and space management during a real emergency. Mass care center locations are listed in the demonstration tables "Demonstration of Mass Care Centers (Attachment A, Section B. 3)".
Personnel, at a minimum, will consist of one manager and one assistant for each mass care center opened during the out-of-sequence window. The responsible American Red Cross chapter will show the source and quantities, by job functional description, to be provided to mass care centers to support the 24-hour operation. The responsible Red Cross'Chapter(s) will be visited, or telephonically contacted during business hours on April 15, 2009, by an exercise evaluator, or interviewed at the mass care center during the out-of-sequence evaluation to provide information regarding the 24-hour operation. Schematics of these mass care centers will be available, 'during the demonstration wifidow, to show organization within the facility and space allocation for the registration and sheltering-the 'evacuating public. Necessarysigns, directional arrows and forms willtbe available'and used to demonstrate registration, atoa minimum, of three evacuees requiring emergency housing; Evacuees will be shown the location where they would be housed in ah actual situation. Bedding, cots, food, etc. normally associated;with-mass care will not be moved idthe site, but the sources, of those. items should be explained to FEMA. evaluators.

Sub-element 6.d - Transportation and Treatment of Contaminated Injured Individuals This sub-element is derived from NUREG-0654, which provides that Offsite Response Organizations (ORO's) should have the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities with the capability to provide medical services.
Criterion 6.d.1: The facility/ORO has the appropriate space, adequate resources, and trained personnel to provide transport, monitoring, decontamination, and medical services to contaminated injured individuals. (NUREG-0654, F.2; H.10; K.5, a, b; L.1,4)
EXTENT OF PLAY Monitoring, decontamination, and contamination control efforts will not delay urgentmedical care for the victim.
Offsite Response Organizations (ORO) should demonstrate the capability to transport contaminated injured individuals to medical facilities. An ambulance should be used for the response to the victim. However, to avoid taking an ambulance out of service for an extended time, any vehicle (e.g., car, truck, or van) may be utilized to transport the victim to the medical facility. Normal communications between the ambulance/dispatcher and thereceivingmedical facility should be demonstrated. If a substitute vehicle is used for transport to the medical.
facility, this communication must occur prior to releasing the ambulance from the drill. This communication would include reporting radiation-monitoring resuilts, if available. Additionally, the ambulance crew should demonstrate, by interview, knowledge of where the ambulance and crew would be monitored and decontaminated, if required, or whom to contact for such information.
Monitoring of the victim may be performed prior to transport, done enroute, or deferred to the medical facility. Prior to using a monitoring instrument(s), the monitor(s) should demonstrate, the process of checking the instrument(s) for proper operation. All monitoring activities should be completed, as they would be in an actual emergency. Appropriate "contamination control measures should be demonstrated prior to and during transport and at the receiving medical facility.
The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to activate and set up a radiological emergency area for treatment. Equipment and supplies should be available for the treatment of contaminated injured individuals.
The medical facility should demonstrate the capability to make decisions on the need for decontamination of the individual, to follow appropriate decontamination procedures, and to maintain records of all survey measurements and samples taken. All procedures for the collection and analysis of samples and the decontamination of the individual should be demonstrated or described to the evaluator.

APPENDIX 5:
Planning Issues This appendix contains the Planning Issues assessed during the April 14, 2009 exercise at Three Mile Island (TMI) and those outstanding from earlier exercises. Planning Issues are issues identified in an exercise or drill that do not involve participant performance", but rather involve inadequacies in the plan or procedures. Planning Issues are required to be corrected through the revision and update of the appropriate State and local radiological emergency response plans (RERPs) and/or procedures in accordance with the following schedule:
- Within 120 days of the date of the exercise/drill when the Planning Issue is directly related to protection of the public health and safety.
- During the annual plan review and update (reported in the Annual Letter of Certification) when the Planning Issue does not directly affect, the public health and safety. However,_
when the date for the annual plan review and update is imminent and the responsible organization does not have sufficient time to make the necessary revisions in the plans and/or procedures, the revised portion of the plans and/or procedures should be submitted in the subsequent annual plan review and update and reported in the Annual Letter of Certification.
Any requirement for additional training of responders to :radiological emergencies necessitated by the revision and update of the plans and/or procedures must be completed within the timeframes described above in order for the Planning Issue to be considered resolved.

RESOLVED PLANNING ISSUES Franklin County Mass Care - Faust Jr. High School Issue Number:64-03-6.a.1-P-05 Condition: The emergency plan for Franklin County lists Faust Junior High School as one of three monitoring/decontamination centers; However, all monitoring and decontamination would be performed:at the Reception Center at Scotland School.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: This issue has been administratively closed.
Faust Jr. High School is no longer used-for Franklin County Mass Care.
Cumberland County Monitoring/Decontamination - Shippensburg University Issue Number: 64-05-6.a.1-P-01 Condition: Only one portal monitor Was planned for the initial intake at the entrance to the decontamination and monitoring facility. However, two other portal monitors were available.
Monitoring an evacuee, with the portal monitor, requires approximately 10-15 seconds per person, if uncontaminated. Therefore, the required 5,820 people would take approximately 1455 minutes or 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to go Ihrough this single portal, if :: -- -,
everyone were uncontaminated. All three portal monitors are necessary at the initial monitoring station to meet the monitoring requirements and allow for delays caused by processing contaminated individuals.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: On Wednesday, April 15, 2009, at the Henderson Gymnasium, Shippensburg University, Shippensburg, PA, Cumberland County successfully demonstrated the abilityto monitor evacuees in a timely manner. Cumberland County is responsible for receiving 5820 evacuees from Dauphin County at Shippensburg University. 20% (1164) must be monitored in twelve hours. Using aportal monitor, sixevacuees were successfully monitored in 32 seconds. This is a rate of ten evacuees per minute or 600 per hour. Even at half this rate (300 per hour) the required 1164 could be monitored in less than four hours.

Lebanon County Emergency Worker Monitoring/Decontamination Center - Annville Union Hose Fire Department Issue Number: 64-05-1.b.1-P-07 Condition: There is no diagram/schematic floor plan for the. monitoring/
decontamination of the vehicles.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: A floor plan showing the designated areas for emergency vehiclemonitoring and decontamination was prepared and was in use during the 2009 exercise at the Lebanon County Emergency Worker Monitoring and -Decontamination Station at Annville Union HoseFire Company.
Dauphin County Mass Care Center - Upper Dauphin Complex Issue Number: 64-07-6.c.1-P-01 Condition: The capacity of the Upper Dauphin School Complex. Mass Care Center shown in the Dauphin County Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Emergency Operations Plan, Supplemental Ihformation,: Dauphin County Mass Care Center Capacities (dated 3-19-03) does not agreewith the capacity indicated in the Shelter Facility Survey (Form 6564). The Plan indicates the capacity for the Upper Dauphin School Complex Mass Care Center is 540 for the
,,,:Elementary School and 530 for the Middle School for a total capacity of 1070.
The Shelter Facility Survey, (for both schools combined) indicates.evacuation capacity of 352 at 20 squarefeet.per person and general capacity of 117 at 60 square feet per person.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: The Central Dauphin Schoot.Distridt Plan (December 2008), which supports the Dauphin County Emergency Operations Plan, contains a Mass Care Center Capacities attachment which accurately-reflects the capacity information from the Red Cross Shelter Facility Surveys for all Mass Care facilities in Dauphin County.,. This*inclides the Upper Dauphin School Complex Mass Care Center which was evaluated in 2007, as well as the Upper Dauphin High School,which is being evaluated in this exercise.
Lancaster County Emergency, Operations Center, Issue Number: 64-47-5.b.1-P-02 Condition: The evacuation route for residents of East Donegal Township (North of Donegal Springs Road) is incorrectly stated in the plan.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Annex E, Appendix 10, page E-10-5 was updated in December 2008. The information in the plan is now, accurate and 1-28,
reflects the information provided to the public in the "Important TMI Emergency Information" section of the: Cumberland,: Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and 'York County's telephone books.
Elizabethtown Borough Back-up Route Alerting Issue Number: 64-07-5.a.3-P-03 Condition: Route Alerting Maps contained in the Elizabethtown Regional EMA Emergency Operations Plan are out of date and do notreflect thecurrent number of new developments and roads that have been built.
..Corrective Action Demonstrated: The maps for the Lancaster County municipalities have been revised and incorporated into the Elizabethtown Borough plan.
Dauphin County, Steelton-Highspire School District - Steelton-Highspire-High School Issue Number: 64-07-3.C.2-P-05 Condition:. The Steelton-Highspire School Di'trict Emergency Operations Plan is
- !confusing in regards to Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs) and Emergency Conditions listed in the plan.
Corrective Action Demonstrated: Adoption: of the updated emergency plan clears Issue Number 64-07-3.c.2-P-05. The new plan explicitly identifies actions to be taken by specified staff at each ECL.
PRIOR PLANNINGISSUES UNRESOLVED,.':
State Emergency Operations Center Issue Number: 64-03-6.c.l-P-01 Condition: PopulationCensus-data contained in the Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan is not based on the most current census information available.
The population for the Three Mile Island EmergencyPlanning:Zone is basedon the 1990 Census. (Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan, Annex E, Appendix 4, Attachment F, page E-4-16; NUREG-0654,J.10.h;7J.,12):.
Reason Issue Remains Unresolved: The State has developed Interim Guidance, "Attachment E, Three Mile Island Nuclear GerieratingStation, Site.
Characteristics." Tab 1 ("Attachment E, TMI EPZ Information") includes a table which reflects the risk population and mass care requirement for each EPZ municipality. based on the 2000 Census. However, the plan has not been revised.
129ý
Therefore, until the plan is updated reflecting current EPZ population data, this issue remains-open.
Schedule of Corrective Actions: Issue will be resolved once the new plan is completed and issued.
Lebanon County Monitoring/Decontamination and Mass Care Center - Northern Lebanon High School Issue Number: 64-05-6.a.1-P-06 Condition: Attachment A of Appendix 13 indicates, that "'mass care centers for evacuees will serve as points where radiologicalcontamination monitoring and decontamination will be conducted," (See Page E-1,3-,11.) Additionally, Appendix 12 instructs the Mass Care Coordinator to "ensure that trained monitoring/
decontamination teams have reported to each mass care center..." However, during the demonstration. the Mass Care Coordinator stated that monitoring and decontamination would be done at the reception center.
Reason Issue Remains Unresolved: Attachment A, Appendix 13 (Page E-13-11) of the Lebanon County Emergency Operations Plan, Annex E, Part One has been changed to read "mass care centers and sometimes Reception Centers, e.g.
Lebanon County Career and Technical Center, for evacuees will serve as points where radiological contamination monitoring and decontamination will be conducted."
However, Attachment A, Appendix 12 (Page E-12-2) of the same County Plan still states that the Mass Care Coordinator will "ensure that trained monitoring/decontamination teams have reported to each mass care center..."
This is an inaccuracy because not all mass care center locations in the County perform monitoring and decontamination functions.
Schedule of Corrective Actions: This incongruity will be corrected in the next plan revision.
Dauphin County, Harrisburg School District - Harrisburg Career/Technical Academy Issue Number: 64-07-3.c.2-P-04 Condition:
In section II, Purpose, the February 2005 version of the Harrisburg School District Emergency Evacuation Plan for TMI states, "This plan addresses the phased evacuation of schools in proximity to, but not within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone".
