FLORIDA POWER dt LIGHT COMPANY TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 1999 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATEDEXERCISE FEBRUARY 10, 1999 SCOPE To assure that the health and safety of the general public is protected in the event of an accident at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Florida Power 2 Light Company (FPL) conducts emergency preparedness exercises. This exercise involves mobilization, or simulated mobilization of FPL, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, State of Florida, Miami-Dade County 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 FPL Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and Controller Organization will be evaluated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, and Monroe County emergency response organizations will be evaluated by their own organizations and FEMA, as applicable.

Due to the compressed timeline of the exercise, some portions of the FPL ERO may be pre-positioned. 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 eAluents, or weather conditions.

The exercise incorporates the following subdrills:

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. (Field monitoring team protective clothing and respiratory protection will be simulated.)

Health Physics Drill - involves the response to, and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne activity or liquid samples; radiation exposure control; emergency dosimetry, and the use of protective equipment onsite.

Communications Drill - actual use of emergency response communications links and equipment to demonstrate their integrity.

Medical Drill - involves a simulated contaminated individual.

The preceding subdrills 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 ERO is adequately trained to perform in accordance with the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. Additionally, the scenario assists the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, State and local government agencies in demonstrating that they are adequately trained to perform in accordance with their emergency plans and procedures.
