Turkey Point Unit 3 and Unit 4 Dockets No. 50-250 and 50-251 Emer enc Exercise December 1991 This letter forwards Florida Power 6 Light Company's objectives for the 1991 Turkey Point Annual Emergency Preparedness Exercise.
The objectives were developed in conjunction with state and local governments.
The exercise will be conducted on December 4,
1991 and will involve participation by local emergency response agencies and State emergency response personnel.
The exercise scenario package for the exercise is being forwarded only to the Emergency Preparedness Section Chief, Region II.
If there are any questions or comments concerning the exercise, or its objectives, please contact Mr. John Kirkpatrick at (305) 246-6226.
Very truly yours, T. F. Plunkett Vice President Turkey Point Nuclear attachment cc:

FLORIDAPOWER AND LIGHTCOMPANY TURKEYPOINT NUCLEAR PLAKI 1991 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATEDEXERCISE DECEMBER 4, 1991 EXERCISE SCOPE h
To assure that the health and safety of the general public is protected in the event of an accident at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (PTN), it is necessary for the Florida Power and Ligh't Company (FPL) to conduct an annual emergency preparedness exercise.
This is the 1991 Evaluated Exercise at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant.
This exercise involves mobilization of FPL, State of Florida and Local Government Agency personnel and resources to respond to a simulated accident scenario.
The exercise willbe evaluated onsite by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and offsite by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
An FPL Controller/Evaluator organization will control, observe, evaluate and critique the PTN portion of the exercise and the NRC willevaluate the FPL performance so that the emergency response capabilities of the utility may be assessed.
A State of Florida and Local Government Agency Controller/Evaluator organization will control, observe, evaluate and critique the off-site portion ofthe exercise and FEMA will evaluate it so that the emergency response capabilities of the off-site agencies may be assessed.
Due to the compressed timeline of the
- exercise, some portions of the FPL Emergency Response Organization may be prepositioned.
All onsite Emergency
Response
Facilities willbe activated in accordance with simulated conditions and appropriate emergency response procedures for the exercise.
Exercise participants
("players" ) will not have any prior knowledge of the simulated accident
- events, operational sequence, radiological effluent or weather conditions.
A radiological medical emergency will be integrated into the operational and radiological portion of the exercise scenario in order to evaluate the ability of the PTN plant staff to effectively respond to a contaminated/injured individual. The medical emergency will also test the ability of the designated hospital to treat a contaminated/injured patient.
State and Local Government Agencies willparticipate fullyin the exercise.
In addition, the exercise incorporates the following:
Radiological Monitoring Drill - both onsite and off-site teams will be dispatched during the exercise to obtain required air samples and measurements associated with a simulated offsite release of radioactivity and communicate these results to the appropriate Emergency Response Facility (ERF). (Field monitoring team protective clothing and respiratory protection willbe simulated in the field.)
FLORIDAPOWER AND LIGHTCOMPANY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 1991 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATEDEXERCISE DECEMBER 4, 1991 EXERCISE SCOPE CONY'D Health Physics Drill - involves the 'response to and analysis of simulated elevated activity airborne or liquid samples, radiation exposure
- control, emergency dosimetry and the use of protective equipment onsite.
Onsite and Offsite Communications Drill-Actual usage and demonstration of the integrity of emergency response communications links and equipment.
Onsite Fire Drill-a demonstration of the onsite Fire Team to respond to and extinguish a simulated fire.
Medical Emergency Drill - a demonstration of the response to a simulated medical emergency situation involving radiological considerations including the packaging and transport of the simulated injured plant person to the designated off-site treatment facility.
The preceding sub-drills are incorporated into the exercise scenario and will be demonstrated concurrently in the course of the exercise.
The overall intent of the exercise is to demonstrate that the FPL staff assigned responsibilities in an emergency situation are adequately trained to perform in accordance with emergency preparedness plans and procedures.

FLORIDAPOWER AND LIGHTCOMPANY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 1991 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATEDEXERCISE DECEMBER 4, 1991 EXERCISE OB ECTIVES The Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (PTN) 1991 emergency preparedness evaluated exercise objectives are based upon Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements provided in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Emergency Planning 'and Preparedness for Production and UtilizationFacilities. Additional guidance provided in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support ofNuclear Power Plants, was utilized in developing the objectives.
The exercise willbe conducted and evaluated using a realistic basis for activities.
Scenario events willescalate to postulated core damage and subsequent simulated release of radioactive material to the environment.
The following objectives for the Turkey Point portion of the exercise are consistent with the aforementioned documents:
