Emergency Exercise The Beaver Valley Power Station small-scale Emergency Exercise was conducted on July 14, 1982, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

a.

Pre-Exercise Activities The licensee indicated that essential operational personnel wmld not participate in the exercise because of the limited scope of the exercise and the plant was in operation.

The licensee coordinated the exercise scenario with the various participating agencies.

The scenario included a primary to secondary leak in the "B" steam generator, an operational basis earthquake, and a fire in the diesel generator building which caused a station blackout.

Based on the above findings, this portion of the licensee's exercise program appeared to be acceptable.

b.

Exercise Observations During the conduct of the exercise, one NRC auditor made detailed observations of the establishment and staffing of emergency response

facilities, as well as actions of emergency response personnel during the operation of the emergency response facilities.
