  1. 2013 NREP HAB Emergency Preparedness ExercisesApril 9, 2013 Kevin C. Leuer Director, Preparedness Branch

  2. Minnesota HAB Planning What is the initial emergency? • Attack on the plant? • Radiological emergency? Our planning basis is that it is a hostile event and not a REP emergency until control of the facility is lost and a threat of a release.

  3. 16 Month MN Planning Process... • Developed: • HAB Considerations Fact Sheet • HAB Resources Fact Sheet • Created Program Manual HAB reference document (planning guide criteria)

  4. Process... • Conducted a gap analysis of HAB response activities • Integration of a Command Post into the response • Identification of staging areas • Tactical law enforcement response verses radiological emergency • Initial response versus a take-back response • Prompt access and communications issues

  5. Process... • Developed and validated planning assumptions • Base REP plan would be maintained • Initial public information would come from the JIC • Command Post would be responsible for on-site and near-site coordination • EOCs would coordinate off-site response • REP Protective Action Decisions from SEOC

  6. Monthly HAB Planning Meetings With Specific Topic Items • Groups involved: • Homeland Security Emergency Management • Xcel Energy, Security and Emergency Planning • County Sheriffs / Local Law Enforcement • County Emergency Management • Fire Department • Emergency Medical Services • National Guard • Department of Homeland Security • Federal Bureau of Investigation

  7. Process... • Constructed a matrix of: • Response resources • Response times • Personnel • Equipment • Included local, state and federal asset • Snap shot of what is available and when

  8. HAB Challenges • Command post Staffing • Sheriff, Local police, State Patrol, FBI • EMS, Fire • Plant Security liaison • Plant Operations liaison • Plant Radiation Protection • PIO and Homeland Security liaison

  9. HAB Challenges • Transfer of Command • Define lines of authority • City PD transfer to County Sheriff • County Sheriff transfer to FBI • Fire Department transfer to FBI • Leadership of Unified Command

  10. HAB Challenges • Command post Communications with: • County EOC • State EOC • Plant TSC or EOF • Alternate TSC or EOF • During duck and cover

  11. HAB Challenges • Prompt (“in a timely manor”) access to site • During lock down. • Vehicle barrier systems in place. • Loss of outer guard office • Protection of law enforcement while gaining access to the site.

  12. HAB Challenges • Neutralizing the threat • Containment of hostile forces • Role of on-site security • Role of law enforcement • Protection of on-site workforce. • Who determines an “all clear” on the site?

  13. HAB Challenges • Protection and release of the workforce • Search of all buildings • Safe movement of workers • Evacuation and containment of workforce • FBI Interview of workforce • Prioritizing the release of critical workers

  14. HAB Challenges • Determine just-in-time training capability for non-traditional responders Using QR Codes • Locations and accessibility of additional dosimetry, KI and TLD’s

  15. HAB Considerations • Need agreement on initial pre-determined protective actions for HAB incidents • Consensus reached for Monticello: • Establish the 2-mile TACPs at a SAE declaration • Evacuate 2-mile area and 5 miles downwind • Prairie Island HAB incident may be to shelter 2-mile and evacuate downwind out to 5 miles

  16. Managing Threat Information • Threat communications pathways: • From utility to local, county and state. • From local/county to utility and state. • From state to utility, local and county. • From NRC to utility, local, county and state. • From FBI to state, county and local. • From state to federal.

  17. Initial 911 Call Management • County dispatch receives initial call for help. • What does that trigger in your REP plan? • Who else will that dispatch center notify? • How is the call validated and does it need to be? • Minnesota REP plan will not be initiated by the 911 call. REP plan implementation will be done once a HAB ECL notification is made.

  18. Pre-Positioning of Specialized Assets for HAB • Tactical Response Teams • Armored Vehicles • Bomb Disposal Teams • Hazardous Materials Teams • Structural Collapse Rescue Teams • Law Enforcement Mobile Field Forces • National Guard backfill support

  19. HAB Planning • Integration of on and off-site response activities. • Validate staffing of assigned tasks. • Coordinate response actions • Air attack planning is very different.

  20. Permanent Changes for HAB Planning • Shift in responsibilities for TACPs • Change in Emergency Worker Decontamination Sites • Additional capacity for EWD sites • Elimination of collateral duties
