I The !1989' Fort St. Vrain NRC/ FEMA graded exercise, known as.
F0$AVEX-89, will be held on November. 15, 1989.
FOSAVEX-89 is L
intended to provide a mechanism by which Public Service Comp'any e
of Colorado (PSC), the State of Colorado, and Weld County can test their -respective Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs).
FOSAVEX-89 will also provide the means. by. which all-three entities can coordinate activities and test their ability to protect the health and safety of the general public.
The exercise scenario will depict a. series of simulated events a
which will necessitate a number of specific-response actions to i
be taken by PSC. These response actions are defined in the Fort St. Vrain Radiological-Emergency Response Plan and Implementing procedures, and are intended to safeguard the health and' safety of the general public, plant-personnel, as well as the environment.
The scenario is being planned such that major elements of the FSV RERP plan-and procedures are tested.
It is also being structured to allow the State and County t-practice their response activities at the State tr..ergenc;
% rations l
Center (SEOC), the Forward Command Post (FCP) and v::
.os other ll state and county response locations.
'Since, by necessity, certain elements of. FOSAVEX-89 are simulated, whenever practicable, the exercise will incorporate provisions for " free play" on the part of the participants. The E
only restrictions 'on this concept will be if' player actions would prematurely terminate the exercise, or would' restrict.the-scenario in such a manner that it would not provide an i
opportunity for PSC, or the State / Local agencies to meet their i
objectives.
As previously stated, certain elements of F0$AVEX-89 are simulated. Within this attachment is-a proposed table depicting which activities' are to be simulated and which ones are to actually occur.
Activities associated with F0SAVEX-89 will be observed by qualified controllers, observers and auditors from PSC.
The F0SAVEX-89 exercise manual will provide information on how and L
to what criteria the exercise is to be graded. A critique will be conducted following the exercise. Any deficiencies will be noted, and will form the basis for establishing corrective actions.

OBJECTIVES OF F0SAVEX-89 7<
The ' objectives of FOSAVEX-89 are based'on Nuclear RegulatoryL R
Commission (NRC) requirements set forth in.
?3 Appendix E.
Data provided in NVREG's 0654 (Rev.1), 0696, and 1
0737 (Supplement 1) as well as previous FSV exercise results p
were used in developing the objectives.
The exercise will include the full activation of-the Emergency Response Facilities.
It will also include participation by i
State and Local support groups. The FSV Early Warning Alert
-(EWA) System within the five mile emergency planning zone vill be demonstrated, however, the exact date and time of the demonstration will be coordinated with FEMA.
i The overall' objective of F0SAVEX-89 is to evaluate the effectiveness and capabilities of the FSV Emergency Preparedness Program.
The scenario is structured to provide a mechanism which will accurately test the adequacy of both the onsite and offsite elements of the program.
Another-objective of F0SAVEX-89 is to demonstrate the ability of the Observers / Controllers and Auditors to conduct an exercise, and evaluate the response of the FSV Emergency Response Organization. At the conclusion of the exercise, a critique will be. held to evaluate the various activities of F0SAVEX-89.
Accordingly, another objective of the exercise is to demonstrate the ability to. conduct an effective self evaluation, i
Another major objective of F0SAVEX-89 is to establish the effectiveness of the recantly revised State and Local Emergency.
Response Plans. These plans have been updated using new formats and current information. Any procedural deficiencies discovered will be noted and corrected in future revisions to the plan (s).
