• 1 1990 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE i

To assure that the health and safety of the general public is protected in  !

the event of an accident at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP),

the Georgia Power Company (GPC) conducts annual emergency preparedness  ;

exercises. Emergency responses are evaluated by the Nuclear Requlatory -!

Commission (NRC) and the rederal Emergency Management Agency (F:MA).

The 1990 exercise at the VEGP involves mobilization of GPC personnel and resources in response to simulated accident conditions. Exercise

" participants" will not have any prior knowledge of the accident conditions to be simulated, including the operational sequences, radiological -

releases, and weather conditions. Onsite facilities will be activated in accordance with appropriate emergency response procedures. Due to the .i coinpressed timeline, some portions of the GPC emergency organization may be prepositioned. The state of South Carolina and the counties of Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, and Burke County, Georgia, will participate fully. ,

The state of Georgia will partially participate in support of Burke County.

A radiological medical emergency, semi-annual health physics, and an annual communication drill will be integrated into the scenario. The medical emergency will test the ability of the designated hospital' and emergency ,

medical services to handle a contaminated injured patient.

The purpose of the exercise is to demonstrate that the GPC staff, in coordination with offsite agencies, can perform assigned responsibilities in accordance with the YEGP Emergency Preparedness Plans and Procedures.
