COOK NUCLEAR PLANT 1994 EMERGENCY PLAN EVALUATEDEXERCISE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
PURPOSE The purpose of this emergency preparedness exercise is to meet the conditions of
- 10CFR50, Appendix E,(IV)(F)(2) which requires a licensee to annually exercise its Emergency Plan.
SCOPE This exercise will take place between the hours of 0800 and 1600 on October 4, 1994.
It will include actions taken by the Cook Plant, the American Electric Power Service Corporation, and Indiana Michigan Power Company personnel.
State of Michigan and the County of Berrien will participate at the initial notification stages and Plant personnel will be stationed in the State and County EOCs to maintain continuous communications with the EOF.
The Cook Plant Unit 2 simulator willbe utilized to drive scenario events and all emergency response facilities will be activated.
They include the Operations Staging Area (OSA),
Simulated Technical Support Center (TSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Joint Public Information Center (JPIC).
Simulated events at the plant willbegin with a Reactor Coolant System (RCS) leak of just sufficient magnitude to force a Technical Specification shutdown and subsequent Unusual
'vent declaration.
As the Control Room operators are determining the size and source of the leak, a mild earthquake occurs.
An Alert is declared as a result of the earthquake and as damage assessments continue, a strong aftershock is felt causing the RCS leak to increase significantly. A reactor trip results along with safety injection. A Refueling Water Storage Tank level indication malfunction, high turbine vibrations and a high pressure differential across the travelling screens is also noted.
High containment pressure causes containment spray to actuate and a phase B isolation to occur. A Site Area Emergency is declared.
A second aftershock occurs creating electrical malfunctions and the spill of a barrel of hazardous water treatment chemicals.
A short release of radioactive material via the plant vent occurs because of a 20 gpm leak in an RHR pump. This leak is soon isolated, terminating the release.
At about that same time a medical emergency occurs in the TSC. The exercise willterminate with the RHR leak isolated, electrical and chemical problems neutralized and the plant on its way to safe shutdown.
