Emergency Response' Drill (88050) -Section 7.3-of the Emergency Plan (12-12-86 revision) states that " Emergency Drills -and exercises are conducted to test the adequacy of timing and _ content of implementing procedures, to test emergency q equipment, and to ensure that emergency. organization. personnel are c familiar with their duties... Emergency drills (or a combined drill) of .' plant medical emergency and radiological monitoring capabilities will be held at least annually." LThe annual drill for 1989 was conducted on December 7, commencing at 9:00 a.m. and terminating at 9:25 a.m. The scenario involved a major fire in the equipment storage building in the southwest corner of the plant. Radioactive material of low specific activity was included in the postulated blaze, -and three persons suffered simulated. injuries. There was no onsite participation by any 'off site support groups. Further information on the scenario is available in the attachment to this report. 1 The inspector observed most aspects of the drill, including activation of the emergency response organization, management of the simulated fire emergency by the on-scene emergency coordinator, fire-fighting efforts by the-Emergency Team, rescue and treatment of the " victims," and radiological monitoring. Activities not observed by the inspector primarily involved the overall command and notification responsibilities executed by the Emergency Officer at his designated location (Guard House). Documentation of the required offsite notifications was received and reviewed by the inspector after the drill. The emergency response organization responded capably to the conditions postulated by the scenario. The inspector especially noted the realism of the drill play on the part of Emergency Response Team members, as contrasted with the " walk-through" approach typically observed during such drills. Responders connected and charged fire hoses; a problem with low water pressure was quickly resolved. Several minor problems were noted by
