Title	Exercise Press Releases Aired on Radio as an Actual Event
Event Description	During the planned NRC/FEMA evaluated drill exercise on 7/13/16, two press releases written in the Joint Information Center (JIC) were published in the Public Information and Emergency Response (PIER) system without 'THIS IS A DRILL' denoted at the top of the page. The original press release was stamped with 'THIS IS A DRILL' at the top of page 1 and at the bottom of page 2. When it was added into the PIER system for publication/faxing, it was not noticed the top of the document denoting 'THIS IS A DRILL' was cut off. The local radio station affiliate was not aware of STP's [South Texas Project's] exercise on 7/13/16. As a result, the affiliate station thought it was a real event and read the press releases over the airwaves at 1014 [CDT] and again at 1046 [CDT]. At approximately 1400 [CDT] on the same day, the radio station told their listening audience of the mistake and stated STP was having a training exercise not a real event. The correction was broadcast over the airwaves three times every hour until midnight. This unplanned media event is being reported in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi). This event is not significant with respect to the health and safety of the public. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
