SCOPE OF FOSAVEX-90 1
l I
The 1990 Fort St. Vrain NRC Graded Exercise, known as FOSAVEX-90, I
will be held on November 7, 1990.
FOSAVEX-9C is intended to provide a mechanism by which Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC) can test its Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP).
Depending upon personnel availability, The State of Ccloredo and Weld County may participate in FOSAVEX-90.
Since the preci'se level of participation is not known, no specific objectives for the coordination of utility / state / local resources have been established.
Hevever, the scenario has been structured to allow for this type of interaction if state / local representation should L
occur.
The extent of offsite medical facility participation is uncertain at this time, if participation is determined at a later date, objectives will be updated accordingly.
FOSAV2X-90 will: provide the means by which PSC can test its ability to
" protect" the health and safety of the general-public.
The exercise scerario will depict a series of siculatec events which will necessitate a number of specific response actions to be taken by PSC.
These response actions are defined in the Fort St. Vrain Radiological Emergency Response Plan and _ Implementing i
l Procedures, and are intended to. safeguard the health and safety of the_ general
- public, plant personr.el, as well as~
the environment.
The scenario is being planned' auch that major elements of the FSV RERP Plan and Procedares are tested.
- Since, by necessity, certain eierents.of FOSAVEX-90 are simulated, whenever practicable, the r.xe rci se will incorporate L
. provisions for " free play" on the part of the participants. The i
only restrictions on this concept will be if Player actions would prematurely terminate the Exercise, cr would restrict -the scenario in such a manner that it would not provide an opportunity for PSC to meet its objec tives.
As previously stated, certain elements of.FOSAVEX-90 a-e -
l simulated. 1/ithin this attachment ;t a proposed table depicting _
l which activities are to be simulas:d and which ones are to actually occur.
H Activities associated with FOSAVEX-90 wil' be obseryed by qualified controllers, observers and auditors from PSC.
The FOSAVEX-90 manual will provide information on how and to what criteria the exercise is to be graded.
A critique will be conducted following the exercise.
Any deficiencies will be d
noted, and will form the basis for establishing correct ve L
actions.

OBJECT!vE$ OF F05AVEX 90 J
The objectives of the Fort St.
Vratu (.CSV)1990 Emergency Preparedness Exercise Program are based ca Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements set forth in 10CFR50.47, and 10CFR50 Appendix E.
Data provided in NUREG's 0654 (Rey, 1,,
0696, and 0737 (Supplement 1) as well as previous FSV exercise results were used in developing the objectives.
The exercise will include the activation of the PSC Emergency Response Facilities.
It may also traclude partial participation i
by State and Local support groups. The FSV Early Warning Alert (EWA) System within the five mile planning zone will not be activated ir association with F0$AVEX-90.
The overall objective of F0$AVEX-90 is to evaluate the effectiveness and capabilities of the FSV Emergency Preparedness Program.-.
The scenario is structured to provide a mechanism whien will accurately test the adequacy of both the onsite and offsite elements of the Emergency Preparedness Program.
Another objective of F0$AVEX-90 is to demonstrate the ability of the Observers / Controllers and Auditors to conduct an exercise, and evaluate the response of the FSV Emergency Response Organization. At the conclusion of the exercise, a critique will be held to evaluate the various activities of F0$AVEX-90.
Accordingly, another objective of this process is to demonstrate the ability to conduct an effective self evaluation of the exercise.
