  1. History • Three-Mile Island, 1979 -Slow, nonconsistent decision- making -Uncoordinated Public Information -Loss of credibility with Government and the utility • Federal planning began in 1980, program funded in 1982

  2. REP Staff Bill Clare, Planning Section Supervisor • Teri Engelhart – Program Manager Federal Agency liaison • Vacant - Planner Prairie Island plant/Pierce County • Bob Busch – Planner Point Beach plant/Manitowoc County • Sue Meilahn – Planner Kewaunee Power Station/Kewaunee County • Anita Cornell - Office Operations Associate • Kelly Markor – Office Operations Associate

  3. Nuclear Plants Requiring Wisconsin Planning and Exercising Prairie Island Kewaunee Point Beach LCBWR Byron Zion

  4. Radiological Emergency Planning • Utility Plans, based on NRC regulations • Government Plans -National Response Framework • Radiological/Nuclear Incident Annex -Wisc Emergency Response Plan • Radiological Incident Annex -County Plans (Annex I) -Municipal plans

  5. Utility Plan • Utility plans are written in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations and rules. • Utility plans address on-site response actions, including off-site notifications to counties and the state.

  6. State Plan • The State Plan is written in accordance with FEMA/NRC regulations (NuReg-0654) and the Code of Federal Regulations. • Plans are reviewed annually by FEMA and must include a crosswalk to criteria described in NuReg-0654.

  7. County Plans • Risk county plans must also be written in accordance with FEMA/NRC regulations, reviewed annually, and include a crosswalk to NuReg-0654. • Ingestion county plans must be written to include actions to mitigate and respond to a radiological incident. • Other counties should have a radiological annex that includes response plans for radiological incidents such as transportation accidents.

  8. Assignment of Responsibility Emergency Response Support & Resources Emergency Classification System Notification Methods Emergency Communications Public Education & Information Emergency Facilities & Equipment Accident Assessment Protective Response Radiological Exposure Control Medical & Public Health Support Recovery and Re-entry Planning Exercises and Drills Radiological Emergency Response Training Responsibility for Planning Planning Standards

  9. Emergency Planning Zone • 10 mile diameter circle with the plant at the center. • Counties within the 10 mile area are considered “risk” counties. • The 10 mile EPZ is where plume related Protective Actions are taken.

  10. Ingestion Planning Zone • 50 mile diameter circle with the plant at the center. • Counties outside of the 10 mile area but within the 50 mile zone are considered “ingestion” counties. • The 50 mile IPZ is where sampling of food products, water, vegetation, and soil will be analyzed for contamination.

  11. Exercises • The exercise cycle is currently 6 years. (changing to 8 yr cycle) During this 6 year cycle, the state must conduct at least one ingestion exercise and each plant must be exercised every other year. • Hostile Action planning requirements will begin in 2012. A Hostile Action Ex will have to be conducted before the end of 2015 and once every 8 years thereafter. • Participants must include players from the utility, state and the risk county(s). • 10 - 12 months of planning; Exercise Evaluation Guides and scenario must receive FEMA approval. Nation-wide, REP is adopting the HSEEP methodology.

  12. Exercise Evaluation • State and Counties are evaluated on 6 criteria. 1) Emergency Operations Management 2) Decision-making for protective actions 3) Implementation of protective actions 4) Field measurement and analysis 5) Emergency notification and public information 6) Support operations/facilities

  13. Emergency Operations ManagementFacilities, Equipment, Plans and Procedures • FEMA initially evaluates the State and County EOCs and reception centers. • Also evaluated are command and control, communications, equipment and supplies, survey instruments, laboratory operations, maps, and supplies of KI. • Notification processes and mobilization are evaluated for effectiveness and timeliness. Both primary and back-up systems may be evaluated.

  14. Decision Making for Protective Actions • The utility recommends a protective action and the State Radiological Coordinator evaluates the recommendation and WEM and the County(s) must concur on whether to go with the utility’s recommendation. • Decisions regarding schools, special populations, livestock, and KI must be demonstrated. • Emergency worker exposure control, KI.

  15. Implementation of Protective Actions Once a protective action decision is made, it must be implemented. • Management of emergency worker exposure control. • Instruction to take KI. (EW vs. Public) • Implement decisions regarding schools and functional needs populations. • Traffic access and control.

  16. Field and Laboratory Operations • Field team equipment. • Field teams (DHS, CST, RAP) take samples from various media; air, ground, water, vegetation. The samples must follow a chain of custody and be couriered to the Mobile Lab or the State Lab of Hygiene. • Mobile Lab equipment and operations.

  17. Notification and Warnings • Sirens - Exception areas - Failure of sirens • Press releases, media briefings • EAS messages • Public Inquiry Hotline

  18. Care of Evacuees • Reception Centers - Monitoring and decontamination, public, emergency workers and vehicles. • Congregate Care Centers - Registration - Mass Care - Medical Services

  19. Ingestion Exercises • An ingestion exercise must be done once during each six-year (soon to be 8) cycle for the state and each risk county. • Ingestion exercises are usually two days and involve more players. Planning can take 12 - 14 months. • Recovery actions are evaluated. Re-entry, return and relocation decisions, as well as many agriculture and disposal issues are demonstrated.

  20. Emergency Classification Levels • Classification levels are determined by plant conditions - Notification of Unusual Event - Alert - Site Area Emergency - General Emergency

  21. NARS and PARs The ultimate goal of EOC activities is to protect the health and safety of the public. • Sectors vs. Sub-areas • Default PAR • 15 minute rules • Situational evaluation

  22. Real Events • WEM automatically activates the State EOC at the Alert level. • State agencies include DATCP, DNR, DHS, DCF, DOT (State Patrol and Highways), DMA, PSC, DOC, and DOJ. • Federal agencies could include DOE (FRMAC,RAP), FEMA, NRC, CDC, FDA, USDA, and EPA. • Other agencies – American Red Cross, VOAD.
