The exercise criteria, contained in the FEMA Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program Manual (January 2016), represent a functional translation of the planning standards and evaluation criteria ofNUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revl, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support ofNuclear Power Plants," November 1980. Because the exercise criteria are intended for use at all nuclear power plant sites, and because of variations among offsite plans and procedures, an Extent-of-Play agreement is prepared by the State and accepted by DHS/FEMA to provide Evaluators with guidance on expected actual demonstration of the criteria.

Dear Mr. Joseph:

June 21, 2016 U.S. Department of Homeland Security Region V 536 S. Clark St., 6th Floor Chicago, IL 60605-1509 FEMA Enclosed is the final After Action Report/Improvement Plan for the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise held on April 6, 2016. There were no Level 1 Findings identified for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Kankakee, Grundy and Will. Two Level 2 Findings were identified and successfully re-demonstrated for the State of Illinois. One Level 2 Finding was identified and successfully re-demonstrated for Kankakee County. There were no Level 2 Findings identified for the Counties of Grundy and Will.

There were three Plan Issues identified for both Kankakee and Will Counties from the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness Hostile Action Based Exercise held on November 19, 2014. For both Counties, one Plan Issue was resolved during the revision of plans and procedures; another was resolved during the exercise. Both Kankakee and Will Counties have one remaining Plan Issue open which will be resolved with the December 31, 2016 revisions of plans and procedures. The State of Illinois had one Plan Issue identified from the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness Hostile Action Based Exercise held on November 19, 2014, which was resolved during the revision of plans and procedures. There were two new Plan Issues identified for the State of Illinois, with estimated completion dates of December 31, 2016. There were no new Plan Issues identified for the Counties of Kankakee, Grundy and Will.

Based on the results of the exercise, the planning and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdiction provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect public health and safety. Therefore Title 44 CFR Part 350 approval of the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois remain in effect.

If you have any questions, please contact Sean O'Leary, Chair, Regional Assistance Committee, at (312) 408-5389.

Sincerely,

~~.~

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

On April 6, 2016, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Full-Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Braidwood Station. The purpose of the exercise was to assess the capabilities of the State and local preparedness in responding to a 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.

The most recent exercise at this site was conducted on November 19, 2014. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on November 6, 1985.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois, the counties of Will, Kankakee, and Grundy 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 responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities.

Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This After Action Report (AAR) contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities:

Illinois State Police (ISP) District #21 Headquarters Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing ISP Traffic and Access Control Post at the ISP District #21 Headquarters Medical Services Transportation and Hospital evaluation at the Silver Cross Hospital Reception Center and Congregate Care Interview at the Pontiac Township High School Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2) for the Reed - Custer Community School District

  1. 225 Protective Actions for Schools (EV-2) for the Mazon/Verona/Kinsman (MVK) School District Except where noted in this report, the State and local organizations demonstrated knowledge of, and adequately implemented, their emergency response plans and procedures.

There were no Level 1 Findings identified for the State of Illinois or the Counties of Kankakee, Grundy and Will. Two Level 2 Findings were identified and successfully re-demonstrated for the State of Illinois. One Level 2 Finding was identified and successfully re-demonstrated for Kankakee County.

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station 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 Title 44 of the 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" (Commonly referred to as 44 CFR 350 through 352). These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

FEMA Regulation 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 Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures developed by State and local governments; Determining whether such plans and procedures can be implemented on the basis of observation and evaluation of exercises of the plans and procedures conducted by State and local governments; Responding to requests by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and FEMA dated June 17, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 176, September 14, 1993); and Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies with responsibilities in the radiological emergency planning process:

U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. Department of Energy; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; U.S. Department of the Interior; U.S. Department of Transportation; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Representatives of these agencies serve on the DHS/FEMA Region V Regional Assistance Committee (RAC), which is chaired by DHS/FEMA.

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station 2.3 Scenario Summary Appendix H "Offsite Timeline," contains a summary of the Exercise Scenario, a simulated sequence of events that was used as the basis for invoking emergency response actions by OROs in the Braidwood Station REP Full-Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise on April 6, 2016.

Results of a technical review of the scenario, submitted on February 5, 2016, indicate that the scenario was adequate to support demonstration ofDHS/FEMA requirements, as well as criteria selected by the Offsite Response Organizations provided in the State's November 10, 2015, January 7, 2016, February 19, 2016 and February 24, 2016 extent-of-play submissions. The Exercise Scenario submitted by the State of Illinois and the Exelon Corporation and extent-of-play submission by the State of Illinois were accepted by DHS/FEMA Region Von March 1, 2016.

During the exercise, in addition to information and data provided through the Braidwood Station onsite scenario, controllers from the State of Illinois provided "inject messages" containing scenario events and/or relevant data to those persons or locations who would normally receive notification of such events. These inject messages were the method used for invoking additional specific response actions by OROs.

Numerous samples obtained following a nuclear incident would likely overwhelm a single laboratory, thus requiring distribution of samples to a variety of private and governmental laboratories. A chain-of-custody is required by laboratories to assure reliability of reported results. Proof of a chain-of-custody is required when the sample evidence that is sought to be introduced at trial is not unique or where the relevance of the evidence depends on its analysis after obtaining the sample. A proper chain-of-custody requires three types of testimony: (1) testimony that a 26

For both Counties, one Plan Issue was resolved during the revision of plans and procedures; another was resolved during the exercise. Both Kankakee and Will Counties have one remaining Plan Issue open which will be resolved with the December 31, 2016 revisions of plans and procedures. The State of Illinois had one Plan Issue identified from the Braidwood Station Radiological Emergency Preparedness Hostile Action Based Exercise held on November 19, 2014, which was resolved during the revision of plans and procedures. There were two new Plan Issues identified for the State of Illinois, with estimated completion dates of December 31, 2016. There were no new Plan Issues identified for the Counties of Kankakee, Grundy and Will.

Based on the results of the April 6, 2016, exercise, the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdictions, site-specific to the Braidwood Station, 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 State of Illinois site-specific to the Braidwood Station, granted on November 6, 1985, remain in effect.

Extent of Play for Silver Cross Medical Drill

==

Introduction:==

An offsite medical drill will be conducted to demonstrate the State of Illinois' concept of operations of handling contaminated injured individuals. The drill is structured to address MS-1 Hospital and Transportation Criteria.

Extent of Play:

The Braidwood Nuclear Power Station has declared a general emergency. The emergency alert sirens have sounded, the public has been directed to evacuate affected areas and to report to reception centers set up in the local area. The scenario is based on a local resident and her daughter who has reported to the reception center from a rural area and spent an extended time in the Braidwood EPZ. The drill will begin at the pickup of the patient and parent by the ambulance. Any reception center activities will be demonstrated at the reception center demonstration.

Hospital and Transportation:

The hospital will demonstrate procedures for limiting exposure to hospital staff, decontaminating a patient, and restricting access to the area where the patient is being treated and monitored.

Silver Cross Ambulance will demonstrate the capability to transport a contaminated, injured individual to Silver Cross. The ambulance crew will pick up a contaminated injured patient near the hospital at a simulated reception center. IEMA MRT staff will accompany the ambulance staff during the transportation portion of the drill.

Silver Cross Ambulance will call in the information regarding the patient to hospital so they can prepare the receipt of a contaminated injured patient. Silver Cross will implement their plan for receipt, isolation and treatment of an injured contaminated patient. Medical personnel will utilize universal precautions and good housekeeping practices to minimize the spread of contamination, and will focus on treating the patient's medical condition. Simple decontamination efforts will be demonstrated after the patient has been medically stabilized. The hospital will demonstrate procedures for limiting exposure to hospital staff, decontaminating a patient, and restricting access to the area where the patient is being treated and monitored.

71

Unclassified Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action Report/Improvement Plan Braidwood Station Extent of Play for Silver Cross Braidwood Nuclear Power Station has declared a general emergency. The emergency alert sirens have sounded, the public has been directed to evacuate affected areas and to report to reception centers set up in the local area. The scenario is based on a local resident who had stayed in the EPZ when the release occurred.

This drill will originate near the hospital at a simulated reception center.

1. An ambulance and EMS staff will be used to demonstrate loading, transporting and unloading the victim. EMS personnel will pick up the patient at a staged location close to the hospital. The patient will be pre-staged for the ambulance arrival. IEMA staff will be present for the transportation portion of the drill.
2. The ambulance crew will communicate with the receiving hospital regarding the medical status of the patient and any additional precautions taken to prevent spread of contamination.
3. IEMA MRT and hospital nuclear medicine staff will be providing radiological exposure control and monitoring of EMS and hospital personnel.
4. Decontamination is determinant on ambulance protocols and injury that the patient presents.
5. Hospital nuclear medicine personnel will be responsible for any patient and staff radiological monitoring and contamination control activities until an IEMA MRT arrives on scene.
6. The IEMA MRT will supervise the ingress and egress of radiological control areas.

Monitoring will be performed prior to personnel leaving the potentially contaminated patient treatment area. Protective clothing used by hospital personnel will be similar to that used for a chemical or biological agent in accordance with hospital protocol.

Multiple methods of decontamination, including dry, damp or wet, may be utilized for the removal of contamination.

7. The medical facility will demonstrate or describe their procedures for the medical treatment and necessary decontamination of a contaminated injured individual. Multiple methods of decontamination, including dry, damp or wet, may be utilized for the removal of contamination. !EMA/hospital nuclear medicine personnel will survey the hospital REA and medical personnel to maintain contamination control. These methods will include taking swipes of floors and surfaces so that the hospital and ambulance can be cleared for normal operations.
8. The hospital may need to contact REAC/TS to determine appropriate samples needed to assess internal contamination. Any samples collected will be sent to REAC/TS for analyzing, IEMA does not process biological samples.
9. Emergency medical personnel will be able to maintain their exposure below the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 because for the exercise, the dose rate from the patient is below 2 mr/hr.

73
