1. Executive Summary On August 27, 2008, a Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA). The purpose of the exercise was to assess the level of State and local preparedness in responding to a radiological emergency. This exercise was held in accordance with DHS/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 May 17, 2006. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on May 20, 1981.

DHS/FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. In the State of Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Counties of Quad Cities and Whiteside and Exelon Corporation who participated along with the State Government.

Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additional assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork on the part of all the participants were evident during this exercise.

This Report contains the evaluation of the biennial exercise and the evaluation of the following out-of-sequence interviews and activities: Illinois State Police (ISP) Dosimetry Control Officers Briefing and ISP Traffic and Access Control Point at the ISP District 7 Headquarters, and Medical Services of the Trinity Medical Center Hospital and the Trinity Medical Center Transportation Service. 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 identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois, or for the Counties of Rock Island or Whiteside.

There were no new Areas Requiring Corrective Actions identified during this exercise 1

for the State of Illinois and the Counties of Rock Island or Whiteside.

There was one Areas Requiring Corrective Action from a previous exercise, Issue number 51-06-6.d.1-A-01 that was not corrected during the exercises for the State of Illinois. While some of the concerns listed in the Issue were satisfactorily addressed such as radiological monitoring and contamination control techniques, others were not satisfactorily performed. The items include the doffing of radiological clothing, not bagging and label of appropriate samples, no swabs collected or personal contamination samples collected, and the bagging and passing equipment over the REA boundary, were not satisfactory performed or were not demonstrated.

A detailed discussion of these issues can be found in Part IV of this Report.

2. Introduction On December 7, 1979, the President directed FEMA to assume the lead responsibility for all offsite nuclear planning and response. DHS/FEMA's activities are conducted pursuant to 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350, 351 and 352. These regulations are a key element in the Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP)

Program that was established following the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station accident in March 1979.

The FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 establishes the policies and procedures for 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 off-site emergency planning and in the review and evaluation of RERPs and procedures developed by State and local governments;

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

- U.S. Department of Agriculture; - U.S. Department of Commerce; - U.S. Department of Energy; - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; - U.S. Department of the Interior; 3

- U.S. Department of Transportation; - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; - U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and - U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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

Formal submission of the RERPs for the Quad Cities to FEMA Region V by the State of Illinois and involved local jurisdictions occurred on December 15, 1982. Formal approval of these RERPs was granted by FEMA on March 2, 1984, under 44 CFR 350.

A REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise was conducted on August 27, 2008, and evaluated by DHS/FEMA to assess the capabilities of State and local offsite emergency preparedness organizations in implementing their RERPs and procedures to protect the public health and safety during a radiological emergency involving the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of this exercise report is to present the exercise results and findings on the performance of the offsite response organizations (ORO) during a simulated radiological emergency.

The findings presented in this report are based on the evaluations of the Federal evaluation team, with final determinations made by the DHS/FEMA Region V RAC Chairperson, and approved by the Regional Administrator.

The criteria utilized in the FEMA evaluation process are contained in:

  • 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 "Radiological Emergency Preparedness: Exercise Evaluation Methodology; Notice" as published in the Federal Register Notice, Vol. 67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002.Section III of this report, entitled "Exercise Overview", presents basic information and 4

data relevant to the exercise. This section of the report contains a description of the plume pathway EPZ, a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities, which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

Section IV of this report, entitled "Exercise Evaluation and Results," presents detailed information on the demonstration of applicable exercise criteria at each jurisdiction or functional entity evaluated in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. This section also contains: (1) descriptions of all Deficiencies and ARCAs assessed during this exercise, recommended corrective actions, and the State and local governments' schedule of corrective actions, if applicable, for each identified exercise issue; and (2) descriptions of unresolved ARCAs assessed during previous exercises and the status of the OROs' efforts to resolve them.

3. Exercise Overview Contained in this section are data and basic information relevant to the August 27, 2008, REP Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise to test the offsite emergency response capabilities in the area surrounding the Quad Cities. This section of the exercise report includes a description of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone and a listing of all participating jurisdictions and functional entities which were evaluated, and a tabular presentation of the time of actual occurrence of key exercise events and activities.

3.1. EPZ Description The Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station is located in Rock Island County, Illinois. The Station is 20 miles northeast of the Quad Cities. It is on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River opposite the mouth of the Wapsipinicon River.

The topography of the site and its immediate environs is low and relatively flat, with a mean elevation of approximately 605 feet. The ground surface drops off abruptly at the bank of the river, forming a bluff about 30 feet high.

The 10-mile EPZ encompasses the following jurisdictions: Rock Island County, which includes the municipalities of Cordova and Port Byron, and Whiteside County, which includes the municipality of Albany.

The 2004 population of the 10-mile EPZ is 3,258 persons. The primary land use around the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station is agricultural, with cash grain crops of corn and soybeans. The closest major industries are located in the Cordova Industrial Park northeast of the Station.

Major transportation facilities in the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 10-mile EPZ are limited to Interstate Highway 88, which passes nine and one-half (9 1/2) miles southeast of the Station; the I&M Raillink and the Mississippi River.

The EPZ also includes several Counties within the State of Iowa within the Jurisdiction of FEMA Region VII.

4.2. Status

of Jurisdictions Evaluated This subsection provides information on the evaluation of each participating jurisdiction and functional entity in a jurisdiction-based, issues-only format. Presented below are definitions of the terms used in this subsection relative to criteria demonstration status.

  • Met - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which no Deficiencies or ARCAs were assessed during this exercise and under which no ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved.
  • Deficiency - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more Deficiencies was assessed during this exercise. Included is a description of each Deficiency and recommended corrective actions.
  • Area Requiring Corrective Action - Listing of the demonstrated exercise criteria under which one or more ARCAs were assessed during the current exercise or ARCAs assessed during prior exercises remain unresolved. Included is a description of the ARCAs assessed during this exercise and the recommended corrective action to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.
  • Not Demonstrated - Listing of the exercise criteria that were not demonstrated as scheduled during this exercise and the reason(s) they were not demonstrated.
  • Prior ARCAs - Resolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during previous exercises that were resolved in this exercise and the corrective actions demonstrated.
  • Prior ARCAs - Unresolved - Descriptions of ARCAs assessed during prior exercises that were not resolved in this exercise. Included is the reason the ARCA remains unresolved and recommended corrective actions to be demonstrated before or during the next biennial exercise.

The following are definitions of the two types of exercise issues that maybe discussed in this report.

  • A Deficiency is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that could cause a finding that offsite emergency preparedness is not adequate to provide reasonable assurance that 13 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."
  • An ARCA is defined in FEMA-REP-14 as "...an observed or identified inadequacy of organizational performance in an exercise that is not considered, by itself, to adversely impact public health and safety." The DHS/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 DHS/FEMA Regions and site-specific exercise reports within each Region. It also is used to expedite tracking of exercise issues on a nationwide basis. The identifying number of Deficiencies and ARCAs includes the following elements, with each element separated by a hyphen (-).
  • Plant Site Identifier - A two-digit number, corresponding to the Utility Billable Plant Site Code.
  • Exercise Year - The last two digits of the year the exercise was conducted.
  • Criterion Number - An alpha and two-digit number corresponding to the criteria numbers in the six Exercise Evaluation Areas described in Federal Register Notice, Vol.

67, No. 80, dated April 25, 2002, which amends FEMA-REP 14, Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise Manual.

  • Issue Classification Identifier - (D = Deficiency, A = ARCA). Only Deficiencies and ARCAs are included in exercise reports. Planning Issues are reported to the State(s) via a letter from the Regional Director. Therefore, standardized issue numbers are not assigned to Planning Issues.
  • Exercise Identification Number - A separate two- (or three-) digit indexing number assigned to each issue identified in the exercise.

AREAS REQUIRING CORRECTIVE ACTION: None DEFICIENCY: None NOT DEMONSTRATED: None PRIOR ISSUES - RESOLVED: 3.d.1.

ISSUE NO.: 51-06-3d1-A-02 ISSUE: Sub-areas 1 and 3 were the evacuated in Rock Island County.

County Sheriff's Representatives identified TACPs and simulated sending personnel to points that were on the line dividing sub-area 1 from sub-area 3 (inside the evacuated areas) and not on the line dividing sub-area 3 from sub-area 6 (between the evacuated and non-evacuated sub-areas).

CORRECTIVE ACTION DEMONSTRATED: In the previous exercise there was an ARCA due to not fully positioning TACPs on the line between evacuated and non-evacuated sub-areas, possibly allowing traffic to enter an evacuated area (sub-area 3). To address this, a Controller inject was initiated at 1235 hours0.0143 days <br />0.343 hours <br />0.00204 weeks <br />4.699175e-4 months <br /> and given to the ISP and County Sheriff Department representatives simulating a second PAR for evacuation of sub-areas 5 and 6 in Rock Island County. A new TACP plan was developed which pulled personnel from TACP locations in sub-areas 1 and 3 and re-deployed them to pre-identified TACPs along the outer edge of sub-areas 5 and 6.
