RPS Actions Instruct staff to put hands on all routine air monitors and report equipment status Contact sampling partners to give notice of possible future increased environmental sampling. Submit RE for possible use of backup contract lab for analysis efforts.

RPS Routine Monitoring 24/7 365 days a year low volume air monitoring around all fixed nuclear facilities. (Analyzed weekly at 12 sites) 24 hour high volume air sampling: Morganton, Currituck, Albemarle, Raleigh (Analyzed monthly) Monthly milk producers; “raw” water, “finished” water, surface water and sewage Quarterly shellfish Semiannual Vegetation, Soil, Fish and Groundwater Annual TLD

Timeline of Events Residents within 3 km of Reactor 1 evacuated. Those within 10km sheltered NRC recommended US Citizens to evacuate if within 50 miles or 80 km. Japan evacuated its Citizens within 12 miles or 20km Japan amended its evacuation to 18 miles or 30 km NC nuclear power plants report minimum levels of I-131 in Air Samples

Timeline (cont.) RPS increases env. sampling effort to RPS reports some combination of I-131, Cs-137, or Cs-134 in 72 of 577 Samples. No detection in Surface Water, Drinking or Shellfish RPS last detection of fission products. No Public health threat to date or expected.

Federal Food Safety FDA analyzed 1077 samples from Japan. One sample positive for Cesium-137 – well below DIL. FDA issues Import Alert to deal with Japanese food imports Food from six prefectures restricted or banned FDA and Customs and Border Patrol continue to screen all food imports from Japan

EPA Monitoring Environmental Protection Agency monitored rad levels via RadNet Over 100 continuous air monitors in RadNet – First reports of elevated rad readings in continental US Trace amounts of I-131 and “other radionuclides” detected – RadNet returns to normal operation
