1984 CATAWBA EXERCISE February 15-16, 1984 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES I.
Scope The 1984 Catawba full-scale exercise is the initial test of the onsite and offsite plans and a part of the 5 year effort to test all aspects of the Station Emergency Plan and Corporate Crisis 14nagement Plan, while testing a major portion of the plans each year.
The 1984 exercise will test the ability of Duke personnel to work together in assessing and responding to a simulated radiological emergency from the control room, TSC, OSC, and Crisis Managenent Center (CMC).
The public information aspects will be tested through activation and use of a joint
~~ ~~
News Center.
Coordination between Duke Power Company and offsite emergency planning officials will be tested. The Alg_rt & Notification System in the 10 mile EPZ will be activated during the event, following protective action recommendations from Duke and assessment by the local counties. Planning for recovery and deescalation will be included in the exercise.
The exercise will be conducted over a two day period with an administrative
" hold" placed on activity during the evening of February 15. A critique will be held on the afternoon of the 16th.
Certain parts of the plans will not be tested this year. These carts are as follows:
1.
