1The following guidelines have been developed to instruct exercise participants on the conduct of the exercise and to define the extent of play required for participants to fulfill the exercise objectives. Where no instructions are provided for a particular objective, actions that weuld be taken for a real emergency should be taken for the exercise. The intent of the exercise is to demonstrate actual emergency response
- capabilities as realistically as possible.
l.
The exercise controller organization will control all phases of the exercise by passing messages to the participants per the timeline or at the request of the participants.-
2.
He controller and the evaluator organizations are under the direction of the exercise lead controller. Additionally, a lead facility controller will be assigned to each Emergency Response Facility.
3.
A controller will be assigned to each location or event where an emergency response is to be demonstrated.
4.
The Control Room activities will be conducted in the NOSF Simulator, a.
Plant parameter data will be presented in message form if the simulator is not available.-
b.
RM-ll data will be presented in message fs.m to operating personnel, c.
SPDS data in the simulator, TSC, and EOF will be driven by the simulator.
d.
Two (2) TSC/ ENS Communicators will be pre-staged at the NOSF.
5.
The controllers should allow free-play. However, free-play will be stopped under the i
following conditions:
if the action taken would prevent an exercise objective from being met or is a.
outside the scope of the exercise.
b.
-if the actions are judged to be ensafe or leading to violations of laws, c.
if the actions would degrade systems or equipment, or degrade response to a real emergency.
6.
All communications and messages will begin and end with the statement "This is a drill" 7.
- If an actual emergency occurs, the exercise will be terminated. All communications concerning an actual emergency will begin and end with the statement "This is_ nt reu not a drill".
8.
Participants shall comply with the instructions from the controller organization. If a conflict exists between scenario data and actual data, inform the controller and wait for further instructions.
