BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION ANNUAL EMERGENCY EXERCISE THE PURPOSE, OBJECTIVES, CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF OPERATIONS FOR PENNSYLVANIA'S RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN (RERP) EXERCISES mederal requirements dictate that periodic RERP exercises be conducted in support of nuclear power plants to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities.

The exercises test the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency preparedness plans and organizations. The exercises simulate an emergency that results in offsite radiological releases requiring response by offsite authorities to include mobilization of state and local personnel and resources adequate to verify the capability to respond to an accident scenario requiring responses up to and including evacuation. The purpose, objectives, concepts and methodologies of operations for these exercises are as follows:

THE PURPOSE OF THE EXERCISE 1.

Evaluate the continuing capability of the utility in coordination with associated state, county and municipal governments to protect the public health and safety in the event of an accident at the facility.

2.

Conduct extensive training for emergency managers at all levels under near-real conditions.

3.

Review and evaluate the contents of state, county and municipal emergency reponse plans.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EXERCISE 1.

Test and evaluate the capabilities of state, counties and municipalities to interface and coordinate with each other in the following areas:

a.

Notification of Officials and Staff.

The adequacy of the nuclear incident notification alert procedures from the fixed nuclear facility to PEMA, BRP, risk counties and municipalities and support counties.

b.

Public Alert / Notification and Information The ability of state, county and municipal authorities to alert, notify and update the public of incidents within the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone, to include actual use of sirens, EBS announcements, route alerting and other communications means available.

h6 yg DuqueSne @

FAGE 7

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION ANNUAL EMERGENCY EXERCISE c.

Communications The adequacy of and/or the need for all planned inte sal and external communications systems among and between the participants to include backup communications systems, EBS and RACES.

d.

Emergency Operations Center (State / County / Municipal)

The adequacy of the emergency operations centers with respect to security, space, comfort, staffing and function for managing responses to nuclear facility incidents.

e.

Direction and Control The ability of key state, county and municipal emergency response personnel and elected officials' support for the initiation and coordination of timely and effective decisions and their ability to provide resource requirements for incidents, f.

Emergency Plans The adequacy and capability of implementation of state, risk and support counties and municipal emergency response plans.

g.

Public Information

'he adequacy of the interface of state, county and nuclear facility public information systems with the news media, to include news media briefing rooms, rumor control measures, etc.

h.

Accident Assessment (Bureau of Radiation Protection)

The effectiveness of state BRP nuclear facility accident assessment system, to include adequacy of equipment, personnel staffing and competency skills with respect to reporting, dose projection, field measurement, coordination and communications.

1.

  • Protective Measures The capability of the state, county and municipal emergency response systems to implement sheltering or evacuation and to take actions to activate such support functions as reception centers, mass care /decontam! nation centers, decontamination stations, risk school district procedures, ambulance services, bus operations, and pickup points.

hk h g Duquesne @

PAGE 8

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION ANNUAL EMERGENCY EXERCISE j.

Radiological Exposure Control The capability of state, county and municipal emergency response personnel to implement access control points and traffic control points, the issuance of dosimetry and KI and the record keeping and decontamination procedures.

THE CONCEPTS OF THE OPERATION 1.

Free Flow Concept The simulated events, radiation readings and emergency classifications provided by the commercial nuclear facility throughout the course of the exercise will be the trigger for the exercise actions. The exercise play will depend upon responses, decisions and implementing actions taken by the exercise players, particularly the executive and operations groups. This free flow method will allow for testing of some vital key elements of the site plan as well as the exercise of judgement, spontaneous response to realistic situations, the ability to reach decisions on appropriate courses of action, and the implementation of these decisions.

2.

Concept for Counties and Municipalities a.

For an item in the plan to be tested and evaluated, that item must be demonstrated by County and/or municipal personnel.

b.

County emergency management agencies should activate staff and support personnel. The degree of activation is i

determined by the resources necessary to conclusively demonstrate the county's capability to successfully operate critical areas such as reception centers, mass care / decontamination centers, decontamination' stations, i

evacuee monitoring, issuance of dosimetry and record keeping, route alerting, access and traffic control points, EBS and RACES communications, and risk area school district procedures, etc.

c.

Municipalities should activate staff and support personnel.

The degree of activation is determined by the resources necessary to conclusively dcmonstrate the municipality's capability to successfully operate its facilities.

N4.

hg Duquesne @

PAGE 9

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION ANNUAL EMERGENCY EXERCISE d.

Because the participation of volunteers at the county and municipal level is vital to the manning of all staffs and agencies, maximum possible consideration will be given.o the timing of the escalating emergency action levels in order to permit maximum participation of volunteers and still insure the successful demonstration of the respective plans' capabilities.

e.

Elected officials should be available and participate in decisions. Decisions, such as mobilization of resources, should be coordinated through elected or appointed officials or their representative.

In areas where actual deployment of resources is necessary to test exercise objectives, the general guidance is that a sufficient number of resources must be deployed to demonstrate that the plan is adequate and that the plan could be implemented.

f.

News media should be planned for and provisions made to provide regularly scheduled briefings at the state and county level media centers.

Public information should be simulated on a timely, frequent basis. The information should be accurate and informative and coordinated with PEMA's Press Secretary.

3.

Observer / Controller Concepts a.

Federal observers will be assigned to key locations at the state, county and municipal levels.

These observers will use a standard federal checklist to evaluate activities.

The federal observer should be given free access to information and notified of critical action taken by emergency personnel in response to the simulated incident since what the federal observer does not see, he cannot l

grade.

l b.

State controller assignments will be made by the Director of PEMA for each exercise.

State controllers will be assigned to state, county and municipal EOCs to monitor and stimulate, as needed, activities in critical areas.

County I

emergency management coordinators should ensure that an area with a telephone is made available for the state controller.

Key state controllers will participate as " silent partners" with the exercise participants. Through this silent participation, the state controllers will be able to monitor the " pulse" of the exercise, in order to more effectively assist exercise play.

The exercise control group has the prerogative of temporarily halting the exerciso play and of intervening in any element of exercise response to correct perceived major difficulties, either developing or actual.

Such action will be reserved solely for major problems that, if not corrected, could threaten successful accomplishment of major exercise objectives.
