Dear Mr Casto
Enclosed is one copy of the Final After Action Report (AAR) Improvement Plan (IP) for the December 5 2012 Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Partial Participation Plume Exposure Pathway Exercise for the Quad Cities Station
The State of Illinois Rock Island and Whiteside Counties and the utility owneroperator Exelon Nuclear participated in this exercise The Final After Action (AAR) Improvement Plan (IP) was prepared by the US Department of Homeland SecurityFederal Emergency Management Agency (DHSFEMA) Region V Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program
No Deficiencies or Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCAs) were identified for any jurisdiction during this exercise
There was one Plan Issue identified during this exercise for the State of Illinois There were no Plan Issues identified for Rock Island or Whiteside Counties
The Plan Issue for the State was identified under Criterion 3a1 OROs issue appropriate dosimetry and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers in accordance with plans and procedures Emergency workers periodically and at the end of their mission read their dosimeters and record the readings on the appropriate exposure record or chart
The Plan Issue was assessed based on the findings that two nurses and one doctor did not have permanent record dosimeters while attending to a contaminated injured patient
Based on the results of the December 5 2012 exercise the offsite radiological emergency response plans and preparedness for the State of Illinois and affected local jurisdictions site-specific to the Quad Cities 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
middot1~~tl lAR1 82013 wwwfemagov
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 Quad Cities Station granted on December 4 1980 remains in effect

real time The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Manual states that those
individuals with assignments outside of the IO-mile EPZ who might come in contact
with radioactive materials are required to have PRDs Group dosimetry is
accomplished by issuing a PRD to each individual then using one or more area

POSSIBLE CAUSE The Trinity Medical Services Facility Trauma Center was not
aware of the requirement to have a DRD which will allow for reading exposure in
real time The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Manual states that those
individuals with assignments outside of the IO-mile EPZ who might come in contact
with radioactive materials are required to have PRDs Group dosimetry is
accomplished by issuing a PRD to each individual then using one or more area
DRDs to monitor exposure ofthe entire group
The plansprocedures did not identify the dosimetry including DRDs and PRDs to be
used by emergency workers and include the quantities of items required based on the I number of emergency workers quantities of equipment available by type and model
and information regarding backup equipment (ie how many items are available by I typemodel and where they are stored) Also if dosimetry will be provided from
remote locations the plansprocedures should describe methods of obtaining the Idosimetry including what organization will supply the equipment how much is
available and its estimated arrival time I REFERENCE NUREG CRITERION HI0 K3a

real time The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Manual states that those
individuals with assignments outside of the IO-mile EPZ who might come in contact
with radioactive materials are required to have PRDs Group dosimetry is
accomplished by issuing a PRD to each individual then using one or more area

EV ALUA TION AREA 2 - PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION MAKING
ICriterion 2al OROs use a decision-making process considering relevant factors and appropriate coordination to ensure that an exposure control system including the use of KI is in place for emergency workers including provisions to authorize radiation exposure in excess of administrative limits or protective action guides I
The ability to make the decision to recommend the use of KI to emergency workers will be demonstrated in REAC A message will be injected in the Rock Island County EOC to drive the decision to authorize exposure in excess of administrative limits I
Criterion 2bl 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 ofonshy Isite and off-site environmental conditions
The REAC will evaluate the licensee information and complete independent dose projections based on that information and simulated field monitoring data REAC will make an evaluation of I the data and make a protective action recommendation (PAR) to the SIRe
Criterion 2b2 A decision-making process involving consideration of appropriate factors and necessary coordination is used to make protective action decisions (PADs) for the general public (including the I recommendation for the use ofKI ifORO policy)
The coordination to determine PARs based upon available shelters evacuation time estimates and Iother relevant factors will be demonstrated between the SIRC and REAC The State PAR will be transmitted to the EPZ counties via NARS
The capability to determine which centers should be activated for monitoring decontamination I registration reception and congregate care will be demonstrated at UAC with input from the SIRC andREAC
