L-96-27 Attachment FLORIDA POSER & LIGHT COMPANY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 1996 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ANNUAL EXERCISE MAY 15'996 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), Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) conducts emergency preparedness exercises. This exercise involves mobilization of FPL, State of Florida, and Dade and Monroe County personnel and resources to respond to a simulated accident scenario. A Controller organization will control, observe, evaluate and critique the exercise to assess the emergency.

response capabilities of the utility and government agencies. An FPL Controller Organization will control, observe, evaluate, and critique the PTN portion of the Exercise. The State of Florida, and Dade and Monroe County emergency response organizations will participate in the exercise.

Due to the compressed timeline of the exercise, some portions of the FPL Emergency Response Organization may be prepositioned.

All onsite Emergency Response Facilities will be 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 effluents or weather conditions.

The exercise incorporates the following:

Radiological Monitoring Drill both onsite and offsite 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 will be simulated in the field.)

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.

Communications Drill Actual usage and demonstration of the integrity of emergency response communications links

L-96-27 Attachment and equipment.

Off- Hours Drill- Exercise will commence between the hours of ( 6:00 PM and 4:00 AM ).

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 the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. Additionally, the scenario assists the State and local government agencies in demonstrating that they are adequately prepared to perform in accordance with their emergency plans and procedures.

L-96-27 Attachment FLORIDA POlifER 6 LIGHT COMPANY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 1996 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ANNUAL EXERCISE MAY 15 q 1996 The Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (PTN) emergency preparedness exercise objectives are based upon Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements provided in 10 CFR 50: .a) 50.47, Emergency Plans; b) Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness "f'r Production and Utilization Facilities; and NRC Inspection Manual, Inspection Procedure 82302, Review of Exercise Objectives and Scenarios for Power Reactors.
