'CNS 1994 Evaluated Exercise Section 2 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES 1
'CNS 1994 Evaluated Exercise 2.
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES 2.1 Scope The 1994 CNS Emergency Preparedness Exercise, to be conducted on November 15,1994, will test and provide the opportunity to evaluate the emergency plans and procedures of NPPD. It will test the ability of participants to assess and respond to emergency conditions and coordinate activities to protect the health and safety of individuals in the plant and in the vicinity of CNS from the consequences of a radiological incident at CNS.
The Exercise has been developed to support demonstration of the capabilities of the NPPD Emergency Response Organization, and will include activation and participation of all NPPD emergency facilities.
The Exercise will be used to evaluate the ability of the onsite response personnel to assess and mitigate the emergency situations at the plant, and to take actions to assist state and local government organizations in mitigating the radiological consequences to persons in the vicinity of the plant. In addition, the Exercise will provide NPPD with the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of training improvements and modifications made to the CNS Emergency Plan and Procedures since the last Exercise.
Emergency response actions during the Exercise will include:
prompt recognition and accurate classification of emergency o
conditions; o
assessment of onsite/offsite radiological consequences, and activities to minimize the impact of these consequences; o
notification and mobilization of the emergency response organizations; implementation of in-plant corrective actions; o
activation / operation of emergency response facilities and o
equipment; 2-1
'CNS 1994 Evaluated Exercise 6
preparation of adequate records to document decisions made and o
actions taken; o
formulation and recommendation of protective actions for personnel within the area; and termination of and recovery from the emergency condition.
o Specific objectives to be demonstrated by the NPPD CNS Emergency Response Organization and Facilities are identified in the following section.
2.2 Objectives Exercise objectives are provided under this heading. Objectives provide a basis for scenario development and a means to evaluate responses by the emergency response organization.
The Nebraska Public Power District radiological emergency preparedness exercise objectives for the Cooper Nuclear Station are based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements provided in 10 CFR 50.47,
" Emergency Plans", and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E,." Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities". Additional guidance provided in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", was utilized in developing the objectives.
Objectives are grouped according to functional area of emergency response. Additionally, objectives have been cross referenced to major or parent Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures used in demonstrating the objective, and to any related open weakness from the previous years' exercises.

'CNS 1994 Evaluated Exercise 1JJ3 NRC Exercise Weakness Summarv 298/9324-01 Training Program Description 0415, " Respiratory Protection" describes the licensee's requirements for th" qualification of personnel who could be required to wear respiratory protection. Thu TPD requires that OSC maintenance and operator personnel be respirator qualified. The failure to ensure that a response team member was qualified as specified was identified as an exercise weakness.
In addition, an operator was dispatched into the plant even though records available in the OSC showed the individual's respiratory qualifications had expired because the individuals physical had lapsed. The individual was deemed qualified because he stated that he had completed the physical but the records had not been updated.
