6 LaSalle itM OSFP Exercise SCOPE OF PARTICIPATION DATE:
Wednesday, June 19,1996 TYPE:
Daytime Exercise, Full State Participation PURPOSE: The purpose of this Exercise is to test the basic elements of the Comed Generating Stations Emergency Plan (GSEP). The Exercise will include the mobilization of Comed personnel and resources to verify their capability to respond to a simulated emergency.
OFFSITE AGENCY PARTICIPATION:
Full Participation, State of Illinois, Grundy County, LaSalle County Radiological Emergency Assessment Center Joint Public information Center Emergency Operations Center State Forward Command Post Radiological Assessment Field Teams Grundy County Emergency Operations Center LaSalle County Emergency Operations Center COMED FACILITIES ACTIVATED :
Simulator Control Room TSC OSC Environs Teams CEOF EOF JPIC Nuclear Duty Officer Bulk Power Operations Communications Services EPEXERAa*"" = '1
COMED FACILITIES NOT ACTIVATED: NONE The exercise " Nuclear Duty Officer" will be notified of simulated events as appropriate on a real-time basis. The dispatch of exercise participants to the CEOF, Mazon EOF, and Mazon JPIC will be initiated by the exercise Nuclear Duty Officer. Exercise Participants will be prepositioned close to the CEOF and EOF to permit the use of Comed personnel from distant working locations.
Comed will demonstrate the capability to make contact with contractors whose assistance would be required by the simulated accident situation, but will not actually incur the expense of using contractor support, except as pre-arranged specifically for the Exercise.
