Emeroency Exercise
,
.'
a.
Pre-exercise Activities
Prior to the conduct of the licensee's emergency exercise, the
auditors met with licensee representatives to review the nature
,
and scope of the exercise scenario and the extent of the actions
expected to be imp 7avented in response to the conditions of the
,
'
scenario.
,
The license . =><
ise scenario had been developed in coordination
with the s r ;,-
,, t'cipating offsite agencies.
Specifically,
the scenar>o invvivrd a primary to secondary system leak of the
steam generators whien was complicated by a series of other events
,
which ultimately resulted in degradation of the Unit I core.
The
i
scenario was complicated further by the inclusion of a simulated
injury with contamination, requiring offsite assistance of the
~
I
local rescue unit and medical trer'< Tent facility, simulated con-
l
tamination of site evacuees and a simulated fire requiring offsite
assistance.
Based on the
indings in the above area, this portion of the
'
licensee's exercise program appeared to be acceptable.

Exercise Observation
During the conduct of the licensee's exercise, 10 NRC auditors'
made detailed observations of the following activities:
(1) Operations staff actions concerning detection, classification
and operational assessment of the accident;
(2) Notification of licensee personnel and effsite agencies;
(3) Radiological (dose) assessment and protective action decision-
making;
(4) Assembly and accountability;
.
(5) Security;
(6) Onsite, offsite and in plant radiological surveys;
.
(7) First Aid / Rescue;
(8) NRC response organization interface;
(9)
In plant radiation prctection;
(10) Technical support;
(11) Public Information;
(12) Repair / corrective actions ; and
(13) Direction and coordination of the response
The inspectors noted that the licensee's organizational response was
in accordance with established procedures and that available
facilities and equipment were used consistent with the procedures.
Based on the findings and observations in the above area, the
inspectors determined that the licensee's response met the
objectives set forth in the Emergency Plan and in the NRC's
current requirements and guidance.
c.
Exercise Criticue-
The auditors attended two post-exercise critiques, held on June 3,
1981, during which licensee observers discussed the exercise results.
During the critique, the auditors noted that the licensee observer
presentations highlighted areas for improvement and that observer
and participant comments would be evaluated for appropriate correc-
tive action.

The NRC auditors compared their findings with those of the licensee
observers and determined that neither the licensee nor NRC observers
. had identified any major items which exhibited a potential for a
degraded response.
Discussions during the critique indicated that
licensee personnel possessed an understanding of the improvement
.
items and their causes sufficient to permit timely, effective
resolution.
Based on the findings in the above area, the auditors determined
'
tnat the licensee's existing exercise audit and critique provisions
had been acceptably implemented.

Exit Meetino and NRC Criticue
Following the licensee's self-critique, the auditors met with the licensee
representatives denoted in paragraph 1.
The Team Leader summarized the
purpose and scope of the inspection and the inspection findings.
In
particular, the Team Leader informed licensee management that the NRC
auditors' findings relative to the exercise were consistent with the
findings relative to the licensee observers.
Licensee management acknowledged the findings and indicated that evaluation
and resolution of all drill identified improvement items weald begin
,
immediately.
