Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP)

After Action ReportJImprovement Plan Quad Cities Station I Luminescent Dosimeter (LD) and the Trinity Medical Center Nuclear Medical

Technician wore a TLD However two nurses and the doctor were not wearing any

permanent record dosimeters

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

I EFFECT Emergency workers who were exposed to radiation would not know their

exposure record The Trinity Medical Services Facility Trauma Center would not Ihave permanent records of emergency worker radiation exposure

IRECOMMENDATION Ensure the Trama Center has plans and procedures which

include the issuance of PRD and include a DRD which will allow for emergency

worker radiation exposure records I e NOT DEMONSTRATED None If PRIOR ISSUES - RESOL VED None

I Planning Issue under Protective Action Implementation Criterion 3al - The OROs issue

appropriate dosimetry and procedures and manage radiological exposure to emergency workers

in accordance with the 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

I chart

I The Planning 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 individual

I There were no Planning Issues identified for either Rock Island or Whiteside Counties during the

exercise

in accordance with the 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

I chart

I The Planning 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 individual

I There were no Planning Issues identified for either Rock Island or Whiteside Counties during the

exercise

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

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
