Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station After Action Report/Improvement Plan, Drill Date-November 01, 2011. Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program.

摘要

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX evaluated a Medical Drill for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS). The purpose of the drill was to assess the level of state and local preparedness in responding to medical emergencies involving radiologically contaminated, injured persons. The drill was held in accordance with FEMA's policies and guidance for exercising state and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP) and procedures. The most recent biennial exercise at this site was conducted on March 1-3, 2011. The qualifying emergency preparedness exercise was conducted on April 1, 1981. FEMA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the many individuals who participated in this exercise. Protecting the public health and safety is the full-time job of some of the exercise participants and an additionally assigned responsibility for others. Still others have willingly sought this responsibility by volunteering to provide vital emergency services to their communities. Cooperation and teamwork among the participants was evident during this exercise. The local organizations, except where noted in this report, demonstrated knowledge of their emergency response plans and procedures and adequately implemented them. There were three Areas Requiring Corrective Action (ARCA) identified during this drill. One ARCA was' corrected by redemonstration in the course of the drill. The two uncorrected ARCAs are listed in the Improvement Plan. Three planning issues were confirmed as corrected in this drill.
