EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
This full-scale local exercise was conducted on April 6, 1983, and was observed and evaluated by seven Federal Evaluators.
No major or significant deficiencies were observed during the course of the exercise.
The level of preparedness of the local governments involved was determined to be adequate to protect the health and safety of the citizens in the event of a radiological emergency.
Since this was a local exercise, the State of South 'Carolina participated only minimally and was not evaluated.
Oconee County:
The Oconee County EOC is an excellent physical structure with a protection factor of 100.
It contains suffi cient and well-arranged space.
Leadership was effective and political support was excellent. Equipment and informational displays were quite adequate.
Pickens County:
Pickens County demonstrated that it could effectively respond to an immediate general emergency at Plant Oconee.
This was accomplished through excellent leadership, direction, control, and an overall smoothly functioning EOC operation.
The EOC physical facility is adequate; however, additional space is needed for communications and operations. A permanent EOC facility would be advantageous.
Media Center:
The Public Information programs for Pickens and Oconee Counties have improved over previous exercises.
Staff additions have been made and training has been successful in improving capability as demonstrated during the exercise.
DETAILED DISCUSSION OCONEE COUNTY I.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, FACILITIES AND RESOURCES:
(Working space, internal communications and displays, communications, security).
The Oconee County EOC is located in the basement area of the County Law Enforcement Building.
It is an excellent physical facility, well-equipped and well-arranged, with a protection factor of 100.
Internal and external communications were good.
The PIO operations difficulties experienced during the previous exercise have been corrected through the addition of RACES and LGR support in communications. 'Personnel in the area of Public Information has also been increased since last year's exercise. Four qualified PIOs are now assigned to
-the EOC staff.
Displays in the operations room contained all necessary information and were easily read from any area of the room.
Security was maintained through an entrance guard and sign in roster.
I. ALERTING AND MOBILIZATION OF OFFICIALS AND STAFF:
(Staffing, 24-hour capability, alerting timeliness).
The EOC staff was alerted and called within twenty minutes following plant notification of the General Emergency.
Staffing was complete and in place at Lhe EOC within 45 minutes.
24-hour capability was demonstrated by means of a roster; most positions have two or more alternates.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS*MANAGEMENT:
(Organization, control, leadership, support by officials, information flow between levels and organizations, decision-making, checklists and procedures).
Organization, leadership and control were excellent.
The Executive Group, Operations Staff and Assessment Staff contained essential agency representatives knowledgeable of their responsibilities.
Five of the six county council members were present during the course of the exercise and demonstrated interest and knowledge of the EOC operation.
Information flow between organizations was smooth; decision making was decisive and thorough by the leadership; and checklists and procedures were present and utilized.
IV.
PUBLIC ALERTING AND NOTIFICATION:
(Means of notification, e.g. sirens, vehicles, other systems, notification time liness).
Sirens were activated twice during the exercise.
This action was timely and well-coordinated with Pickens County.
EBS messages were appropriate and followed the sounding of sirens within approximately four minutes.
Other systems of notification were not utilized; however, plans are being made for the procurement of tone-alert radios for the use of special facilities such as schools, hospitals, and certain industries of the county.
V.
PUBLIC AND MEDIA RELATIONS:
(Publications, press facilities, media briefings, news release coordination).
A public information brochure, printed by the utility and distributed throughout the county,was reviewed and deter mined to be adequate.
Distribution was verified by federal evaluators through the observation of these brochures in public places.
Media briefings were accomplished at the Media Center; no press facilities were specifically set up for that purpose at the EOC but could be arranged in the event of an actual emergency.
News releases were well-coordinated; and questions from the public were fielded well by the PIOs oresent in the EOC.
These questions and concerns were introduced through free-play messages by State controllers present in the EOC.
VI.
ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT: -(Staff and field operations, monitor ing adequacyof equipment, technical calculations, use of PAGs, issuance of timely recommendations).
Not demonstrated.
However, through discussions with the EOC Director, the federal evaluator was informed that technical staff and equipment suitable for radiological accident assessment were sufficient for approximate tech nical calculations, monitoring and the issuance of timely recommendations in the event of a rapidly escalating emergency, as was the case in this exercise scenario.
VII.
ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC:
(Sheltering, evacuation, reception and care, transoortation).
In-place sheltering, but no evacuation, was appropriately recommended to the public in affected sectors of Oconee County.
One reception center, Westminster Elementary School, was opened but not observed by the two federal evaluators assigned to Oconee County. The shelter was open only during the period of time the field evaluator was observing the traffic control point operation. The report on that operation follows:
traffic control point was activated at the intersection of Highways 183 and 201 by personnel of the State Highway Patrol.
The officers were well-informed on their duties and responsibilities. A thorough knowledge was demonstrated concerning evacuation routes, reception center locations, use of radiological equipment, and proper reporting pro cedures.
VIII.
HEALTH, MEDICAL AND EXPOSURE CONTROL MEASURES:
(Access control, adequacy of equipment and supplies, dosimetry, use of KI, decontamination, medical facilities and treat ment).
Not observed.
IX.
RECOVERY AND REENTRY OPERATIONS:
Adequacy of Plans and Procedures).
Not demonstrated.
X.
RELEVANCE OF THE EXERCISE EXPERIENCE:
(Benefit to partici pants, adequacy of.the scenario).
Participants indicated that the exercise was of benefit to them.
The scenario was an adequate vehicle in effecting the response mechanisms of the county.
Ideally, the scenario would be expanded to include orderly evacuation measures.
FIRE INCIDENT:
(Activity not included in Execrit Format).
A fire drill at the Plant Oconee visitor's center resulted in a request for off-site assistance at 8:08 p.m., April 5, 1983.
The Keowee-Ebenezer Fire Department responded from a dis tance of six miles, arriving at 8:21 p.m. with one pumper and 15 volunteer firefighters. Upon arrival, the fire chief consulted with the plant brigade leader and promptly directed the laying of lines in an efficient manner.
The coordination between the plant fire brigade and the off-site fire department was well-demonstrated and would have resulted in prompt fire control if the emergency had been actual rather than simulated.
Sixteen county fire departments have received training to qualify them for response and backup protection if needed.
A marked improvement was observed over the previous exercise in the area of fire protection capability.
PICKENS COUNTY I. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, FACILITIES AND RESOURCES:
(Norking space, internal communications and displays, communications, security).
The Pickens County EOC is a well protected, secured facility, however, the EOC is not a permanent one.
It is utilized by the Pickens County Commission on a regular basis.
Working space is at a minimum but adequate.
The fixed theater seats are a hindrance to effective operations.
The separate communications room provides a good buffer between operations and communication activities.
The facility would probably not be effective for a sustained operation. (H.3) (M).
Internal communication was excellently demonstrated.
Status boards were posted promptly and displays were
-abundant, clear and concise.
ALERTING AND MOBILIZATION OF OFFICIALS AND STAFF:
(Staffing, 24-hour capability, alerting timeliness).
The immediate General Emergency did not prove to be a hindrance to the alerting timeliness or mobilization of the emergency staff.
A 24-hour capability was demonstrated by double staffing and backups, even the Director had a "second in command".
The EOC was activated within 18 minutes of the notification of general emergency.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEIENT:
(Organization, control, leadership, support by officials, information flow between levels and organizations, decision-making, checklists and procedures).
The emergency response organization within Pickens County was very evident and broad-based. Specific organizations have been established as part of the response team.
The Director, and in his absence, the assistant director, were very much in charge.
Numberous staff briefings were held and discussions among the staff were frequent.
Each response component was appropriately delegated to a specific organization. While staff support was excellent, no public official support was present. The County Manager did stop in from time to time but no mayors or county council were present.
Plotting of the plume on a map, along with appropriate weather information and all areas affected by the release, would have been useful for the staff.
This way the full magnitude of the problem would have been visually apparent for all to see and understand.
IV.
PUBLIC ALERTING AND NOTIFICATION:
(Means of notification, e.g. sirens, vehicles, other systems, notification time liness).
The primary means of notifying the public in Pickens County is through the use of fixed sirens.
These sirens, which can only be activated as a group, were sounded at 10:05 a.m.,
within seven minutes of the notification of immediate general emergency. The sounding of the sirens was coordi nated with Oconee County so as to assure simultaneous sounding.
Both notifications were well within the guidelines.
V.
PUBLIC AND MEDIA RELATIONS:
(Publications, press facilities, media briefings, news release coordination).
Public and media relations were primarily handled at the joint media center.
The PIO in the Pickens County EOC did not appear to be aware of the significance of the press release developed by the Pickens County PIOs at the media center.
The release was not discussed with EOC staff nor wcas the Director aware of the existence of such a release.
All other press briefings and public information items appear to.have been w.ell-coordinated.
Rumor control did not appear to be adequately addressed.
No observed attention given to this aspect of Public and Media Relations.
(G.4.c.) (T).
VI.
ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT:
(Staff and field operations, monitor ing, adequacy of equipment, technical calculations, use of PAGs, issuance of timely recommendations).
Radiological and weather data was very slow in getting to the county. Plant status information was also not timely.
Need additional monitoring equipment to perform duties at the county level.
(H.7.)
(M).
VII.
ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC:
(Sheltering, evacuation, reception and care, transportation).
The initial protective response recommendation and follow up recommendation for an additional area appeared to be misunderstood among the EOC staff.
The term "sheltering" in various sectors was taken to mean evacuation and shelter ing as opposed to in-place sheltering.
Pickens County High School was activated as a Reception Center.
(Evacuation had not been ordered, but was expected and locally they wanted to exercise their capability.)
The facility was adequate, i.e., easily accessible, space, etc. The Reception Center was staffed with registration, monitoring, and communication personnel (Civil Defense Communications Van was on hand).
No security, i.e.,
traffic control, although CD Director indicated they would be there in real situation).
Problems identified last year had been addressed this year (signs, telephones, etc.).
Staff appeared knowledgeable and it was obvious that planning has taken place.
Registration form being used could cause problems and slow down process, but EWS indicated a new form has been printed that will streamline process.
(New form was in use at Summer exercise.)
The objective "Demonstrate the ability to staff a Reception Center with EWS and RADEF personnel" was clearly reached.
As all sheltering is to take place in Greenville County -
shelter ing not demonstrated.
VIII.
HEALTH, MEDICAL AND EXPOSURE CONTROL MEASURES:
(Access control, adequacy of equipment and supplies, dosimetry, use of KI, decontamination, medical facilities and treat ment).
Access control of evacuated areas was handled adequately; however, the plan calls for this activity to be a county function.
The state actually assumed functional responsi bility.
(J.10.J.)
(D).
IX.
RECOVERY AND REENTRY OPERATIONS:
(Adequacy of Plans and Procedures).
Not demonstrated.
X.
RELEVANCE OF THE EXERCISE EXPERIENCE:
(Benefit to partici pant, adequacy of the scenario).
Most staff felt that the scenario, and exercise in general, was a good training tool for individual organizations and the county response as a whole.
Integrated capabilities were only superficially exercised.
The exercise could have been a better training tool.
(N.l.A.)
(T).
MEDIA CENTER EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, FACILITIES AND RESOURCES:
(Working space, internal communications and displays, communica tions, security).
The media center is located at the Plant Oconee Visitor Center.
In the past many physical problems existed with phone and electrical access.
These problems have been corrected and space was adequately used. Necessary support equipment was available and included typewriters, zerox, and clerical support. Communications support was excellent.
Three systems were available for communications:
the commerical telephone lines from the media center to the county EOCs, the RACEs system; and the law enforcement radio frequencies.
One potential problem in the area of noise level was discussed and solved through the use of head phones with the radio equipment. Security was not demonstrated during the exercise but resources are avail able and security could be established as needed.
ALERTING AND MOBILIZATION OF OFFICIALS AND STAFF:
(Staff ing, 24-hour capability, alerting timeliness).
The Oconee and Pickens County Public Information efforts are now staffed at an effective level to handle the public information response needs. Each county staff includes a public information officer at the county EOC who acts as a liaison and relays information.
The public information staff at the media center includes a lead PIO and one to two support PIOs.
In addition to the public information staff each county was supported by radio communicators.
All staff are trained and well informed of duties and respon sibilities.
A 24-hour capability was not demonstrated but through discussion, the capability was identified and explained.
The PIO staffs were alerted and responded in a timely manner.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT:
(Organization, control, leadership, support by officials, information flow between levels and organizations, decision-making, checklists and procedures).
The activities in the media center were well-managed and coordinated. A great deal of effort was given by all representatives in the media center to keep everyone brief ed and up to speed. As part of the coordination effort a liaison for the utility was in the State and Local PIO work area and a representative of the State was assigned to the Utility PIO Work Area (the State was not being eval uated in this exercise so this role was not demonstrated).
The liaison technique is one that works well and helped to strengthen the coordination effort.
Logs and status boards were kept current and accurate.
IV.
PUBLIC ALERTING AND NOTIFICATION:
(Means of notification, e.g. sirens, vehicles, other systems, notification time liness).
The sirens were activated and sounded in a timely manner.
EBS messages were broadcast on both T.V. and radio stations within minutes.
The EBS messages were clear and explained the sounding of the sirens.
At a later point in the exercise play the sirens were sounded and EBS was again activated effectively. The RACEs communicators at the media center conducted radio checks to actually verify the local coverage.
The system demonstrated was excellent.
V.
PUBLIC AND MEDIA RELATIONS:
(Publications, press facilities, media briefings, news release coordination).
Media kits were available to the media for their use and contained all the information about the plant as well as the surrounding area.
Three media briefings were held for the press.
Each county PIO participated in the briefings and presented a good overview of the county response and potential impacts.
One news release was written by each county and the releases were good. However, this is a training opportunity and we would encourage generating more releases.
Protective action recommendations were handled effectively.
Where questions arose, follow-up and verification occurred.
Weather information and.tr.acking.was not as effective as.
possible. More training and practice is.needed in tracking and posting the wind direction and speed.
VI.

(Adequacy of Plans and Procedures).
Recovery and reentry operations were briefly discussed during the closing moments of the exercise.
The importance of public information during this phase was discussed as well as the kinds of releases to be made.
X.
RELEVANCE OF THE EXERCISE EXPERIENCE:
(Benefit to partici pant, adequacy of the scenario).
The Oconee Exercise provided an excellent training oppor tunity for public information staff.
The exercise objectives for alerting and notifying the public along with EBS activa tion were clearly met.
During the activities at the media center all staff were exercised through additional control messages which were responded to in a timely and correct manner.
SUMMARY
LISTING OF MAJOR DEFICIENCIES A major deficiency is a weakness that impairs the State or Local capability to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological incident at a fixed nuclear facility.
The major deficiencies must be corrected or demonstrated to ensure an adequate level of preparedness.
(This level of weakness is delineated in the REP Data Base by an
"*")

SUMMARY
LISTING OF SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES A significant deficiency is a weakness that does not preclude the State or Local capability to respond to an incident at a fixed nuclear facility.
The weakness is not of sufficient magnitude to impair the State or Local capability to protect the health and safety of the public but is of sufficient im portance to warrant a classification of a more serious nature than "minor deficiency".

APRIL 6, 1983 (REVISED FEB. 7, 1983)
On April 6, 1983, an exercise will be conducted at the Oconee Nuclear Station to test the capabilities of the various parties and elements of the local governments' emergency preparedness plans.
The simulated test will require the mobilization and deployment of local response forces to verify their abilities to respond to an actual emergency at the Oconee Nuclear Station.
The specific exercise objectives and specific components of county plans to be tested and evaluated are as follows:
- 1.
Demonstrate the ability to Alert and Notify the public within the 10-mile EPZ to include the siren warning system and activation of the EBS.
- 2.
Demonstrate the ability to Alert and Notify county officials and EOC staff personnel.
- 3.
Demonstrate the ability to activate and staff the EOC.
- 4.
Demonstrate the adequacy of EOC facilities such as:
- a.
Maps
- b.
Situation Charts
- c.
Decision-Making Process
- d.
Communications (telephones, radio, etc.)
- 5.
Demonstrate the ability to respond and react to emergency action levels -and local response to those levels.
- 6.
Demonstrate the ability to disseminate Protective Action Guides (PAG's) to the public.
- 7.
Demonstrate the ability to secure EOC's and access control.
