i To define the " extent of play" of the exercise " players" and meet the agreed upon exercise objectives, the following exercise guidelines have .

been established:

1. The Field Exercise will be conducted on December 14, 1983. Since 1 exercise " players" will not possess prior knowledge of the exercise start time, all personnel should follow-their normal routines for that day.

2. Following the establishment of initial conditions, the Field Exercise

will commence with a postulated plant condition necessitating a de-

claration of an Emergency Action Level. .

! 3. The postulated accident conditions will result in a simulated radio-

! logical release which necessitates the consideration of protective actions for the general public. Meteoroloaical conditions may be varied.throughout the exercise.

4. All onsite and offsite emergency response facilities,' including 4

those State facilities located in Austin and Waco, will be manned and perform their prescribed functions as appropriate to the development of the exercise scenario.

1 i

5. Media centers in the Nuclear Operations Support Facility (NOSF) at CPSES and the TUGCo Corporate offices in Dallas will be manned and perform their prescribed functions. However, no exercise press releases will be made to the public.

6. As appropriate, emergency response personnel from the Texas Department:

of Health -. Bureau of Radiation Control and other State. agencies shall pre-position themselves in the Comanche Peak area so as to commence exercise " play" at.an appropriate point in the development of the

. exercise scenario. Travel time associated with the deployment.of these " players" will be simulated.

)

} 7. Exercise " players" will perform, as appropriate, radiological. monitorina -

and dose assessment activities, i t

8. TUGCo and ' State 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 .

route such samples to the. appropriate laboratory. facilities for analysis.

s Each radiological monitoring field team will be accompanied by a  ;

controller / evaluator team throughout the exercise. Each field team '

will rendezvous with its controller / evaluator team at the location from which it is de' ployed. The rendezvous locations are as follows:

a. For the TUGCo teams, the Operations Support Center (0SC) Annex.

b. For the State teams, the designated ~offsite Staging Area.

9. Participation by CPSES onsite personnel directly involved in

! responding to an emergency shall be carried out to the fullest

• p extent possible, including the deployment of in-plant and out-of-plant radiological monitoring teams, and the use of protective

clothing and respiratory protection equipment.

10. Use of protective clothing and respiratory protection equipment, if required by the exercise scenario, shall only be simulated by personnel assigned to the offsite TUGCo or State radiological monitoring tears.

i 11. As appropriate, procedures for the activation of the Outdoor Warning System (0WS) shall be demonstrated, including activation of.the siren system.

i

12. As appropriate, Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) announcements should be prepared and passed to the appropriate stations, but not released i to the general public.

+

i 13. The postulated accident conditions may warrant the assembly and evacuation of non-essential site personnel. If required by the exercise scenario, the emergency evacuation alarm should be' sounded and personnel assembled. However, once onsite assembly and account -

ability procedures have been completed, non-participating personnel should be allowed to return to.their normal work stations unless i

their activities would interfere with the conduct of the ' exercise,

14. :This exercise may include a simulated evacuation ,of the affected offsite

~

population to a reception and care . facility. Although no members of the general public will be evacuated, a sample population of non-

~

l essential site personnel will be evacuated to a reception and care'-

facility in Johnson County to test the in-processing and' monitoring of evacuees.

15. If required by the exercise itenario, highway barricade material} shall i be deployed to positions in accordance'with plan ' directives; however,

. highways shall'not be closed.

16. The Somervell County Volunteer Fire Department may be involved in providing simulated onsite or offsite firefighting assistance. If required by the exercise scenario, the fire department should be contacted for the purpose of checking communications only, but will not be required to mobilize manpower or equipment.

17. If required by the exercise scenario, an " injured, contaminated" individual may be transported to the Hood General Hospital for subsequent simulated treatment and decontamination.

18. If required by the exercise scenario, onsite security personnel should exercise their procedures for restrictino normal access to

, the site without actually redirectina incoming and outgoing Dersonnel.

No other live or simulated events are to be included in the " extent of play" of the exercise.
