f C. Exercise Guidelines To define the " extent of play" by the exercise participants and meet the exercise objectives. the following exercise guidelines have been developed:

1. The exercise will be conducted on March 13, 1984 Since exercise participants will not possess prior knowledge of the exercise time, all' personnel should follow their normal routines for the day.
2. The exercise will commence with a postulated plant condition necessitating escalation through at least three (3) emergency action levels.
3. The postulated accident conditions will result in a simulated radiological release which necessitates the consideration of protective actions for the general public. Meteorological conditions will be varied throughout the exercise.
4. This exercise may include sheltering and/or evacuation to a reception and care facility as required by the Scenario. In-processing and monitoring of evacuees may be conducted. Once completed, the evacuees would be released. Highway barricade material may be deployed to positions in accordance with plan directives; however, highways shall not be closed.
5. Exercise participants will perform, as appropriate, radiological monitoring, dose assessment, and sampling activities.
6. NSP radiological monitoring field teams will be dispatched for the purpose of testing response time, communications, and monitoring and sampling procedures. The field teams will gather sample media and simulate routing such samples to the appropriate laboratory facilities for analysis. State radiological monitoring field team (s) will cer=unicate data on monitoring and sampling to appropriate officials.

Each NSP radiolngical monitoring field team will be accompanied by a controller /cvaluator team throughout the exercise. Each NSP field team will rendezvous with its contin 11er/ evaluator team at the location at which it obtains its energency kits. The rendezvous locations are as follows:

NSP Construction Office Building - Prairie Island NOTE: The Monticello Plant survey teams vill come with their controllets on the day of the exercise. They will meet drivers at the Prairie Island LOF.

7. All of NSP's on-site and off-site emergency response facilitics, and the County's FOC's, will be manned and perform their pr2 scribed functions. Minnesota EOC will be fully staffed to support the county exercises with certain state agency operations simulated.

The state of Wisconsin will fully activate state E0C's in support of county EOC's.

8.  !

The Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) located at the Minnesota I State Capitol in St. Paul, MN will be manned and perform its pre-scribed functions. Members of the press in the Twin Cities area vill be identified and invited to participate in the exercise.

Simulated releases will be prepared by the Minnesota and Wisconsin Public Information Of ficers and NSP Communications Department and will be released at the JPIC. In addition, there will be exercise press releases issued at Pierce County and Red Wing /Coodhue County Press Rooms. Exercise press releases may be made to the public.

9. As appropriate, Emergency Broadcast Station (EBS) announcements should be prepared and passed to the appropriate stations, but not released to the general public with one exception described below i

in Item 10.

) 10. As appropriate, procedures for the activation of the PANS will be demonstrated up to but not including siren activation. This facludes message preparation for the NOAA and EBS networks but njl transmission of alert signal nor instructional message. In addition to simulating mobile alerting, public safety vehicles will traverse at least one sector in the 5-10 mile zone.

11. The postulated accident conditions may warrant the assembly and evacuation of non-essential site personnel. If required by the exercise scenario, the site emergency alarm should be sounded and l personnel assembled. However, once on-site assembly and accounta-bility procedures have been completed, non-participating personnel should be allowed to return to their normal work stations. Pro-cedures for the evacuation of non-essential site personnel should be simulated.
12. Participation by NSP on-site personnel directly involved in respond-ing to an emergency shall be carried out to the fullest extent possible, including the deployment of radiological monitoring teams, l

energency maintenance teams, and other emergency workers.

13. Exercise participants will include the following organizations:
a. Northern States Power Company
1. On-site Emergency Organization
2. Corporate Emergency Response Organization II-6 5530.131

PRAIRlf ISLAND NFCLEAR GENERATIiiG PLANT

a. Emergency Operations Facility Organization
b. Headquarters Emergency Organization
b. Goodhue, MN, Dakota, MN, Pierce WI, and Dunn,WI Counties and all supporting local agencies, as identified in the Minnesota Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan and Wisconsin Peacetime Radiological Emergency Reponse Plan, will participate in a full-capacity.
c. The State of Minnesota will participate in a small-scale capacity. Many of the State agency actions, as identified in the State of Minnesota Radiological Emergency Response Plan, will be simulated.
d. The State of Wisconsin will participate in a full acele capacity, as identified in the State of Wisconsin Peacetime Radiological Emergency Response Plan, unless it receives prior written assurance from FEMA, Region V by or before January 30, 1984 that the successful completion of its exercise with the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant now makes it eligible for biennial exercising at all nuclear power plants for which it is responsible. If that assurance is provided, Wisconsin will participate in a small scale capacity,
c. The NRC will participate in the exercise.

Active participation in the exercise will only be required of the above-listed organizations. If the exercise scenario requires that any other organizations and/or officials be contacted, they shall be contacted for the purpose of checking communications only.

Other Federal responses to an emergency, including those of the Dept.

of Energy Radiological Assistance Program and the Department of Energy, shall be simulated.

14. If required by the exercise scenario, alternate means of accessing the plant shall merely be simulated and not actually implemented.

However, on-site security personnel should exercise their procedures for restricting normal accer.s to the site without actually redirect-ing incoming and outroing personnel.

No other live or simulated events are currently intended for use in the exerc1:c.
