We CR will be simulated from the plant simulator. All Comunications involving the CR will be duplicated in the simulator. Comercial telephone will be used for the HPN and ENS as necessary.
7.
Exercise play will be driven via the simulator computer. A set of operation scenario messages, "greensheets", will drive exercise play in the event the simulator canputer fails.
8.
Radiological data terminals (RM-ll), and fire protection panels (KC008) which are not duplicated in the plant simulator, will be simulated.
9.
Both operational and meteorological initial conditions for the exercise will be established prior to comencement of exercice play and will be distributed to the following personnel:
a.
KG&E System Operators b.
Plant Manager c.
Shift Supervisor d.
Control Room Operators e.
Site Health Physicist f.
Site Chemist g.
Onsite Security Shift Lieutenant h.
Maintenance Crews 10.
Exercise play will comence with a postulated plant condition necessitating the declaration of an energency at NCGS.
- 11. Activation of the plant siren will be accomplished through the actual control room upon requests from operators in the simulator.
- 12. Plant gaitronics will be functional from the simulator to the site.
W e phrase, " mis is a drill", must begin and end emergency messages from the simulator in response to scenario events.
- 13. Participation by KG&E onsite personnel directly involved in responding to an energency shall be carried out to the fullest extent possible.
Dispatch of energency response personnel in the power block will be limited to the following:
a.
Onsite Survey Teams b.
Bnergency Repair and Damage Control Teams c.
Search and Rescue Teams d.
First Aid Teams e.
Security Teams
- 14. We postulated accident conditions may warrant the assenbly and evacuation of non-essential site personnel.
If required by the exercise scenario, the site evacuation alarm will be sounded, and 2.16 85-FE-F
(
accountability cnd evacuation of a small sample of sita personnel will be performed. Ebilowing completion of accountability and evacuation
' activities, non-essential site personnel will be allowed to return to the site.
-15.
Exercise players should perform, as appropriate, radiological monitoring and dose assessment activities.
- 16. Alternate means of accessing the plant shall merely_be simulated and g actually implemented.
- 17. Wree Joint Radiological Monitoring Teams and one Onsite Survey Team should be dispatched for the purpose of testing response time, connunications, and monitoring / sampling procedures. Field samples should be gathered and prepared for transport for analysis.
- 18. 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 at which it obtains energency kits. Se rendezvous locations are as follows:
a.
OSC (Onsite Survey Team /Offsite Monitoring Team) b.
EOF (Joint Radiological Monitoring Team)
- 19. W e phrase, " Wis is a drill", must begin and end all radio transmissions performed in response to scenario events.
- 20. Exercise play may require the decontamination of offsite equipment or vehicles. Wis should be accomplished at the EOF decontamination facility.
4
- 21. Members of the press may be invited to participate in the exercise.
However, they will be identified and their extent of " play" will be limited to questionc regarding the exercise events. Questions regarding items such as the success of the exercise will not be addressed.
- 22. Procedures for the activation of the Alert and Notification System should be denonstrated up to, and including siren activation.
- 23. Bnergency Broadcast System (EBS) announcements should be prepared and -
passed to the appropriate station, but not released to the general public.
- 24. W e postulated accident conditions may necessitate the evacuation'of the affected offsite population.
If required by the exercise scenario, the evacuation will be simulated. However, a sample population may be available for in-processing and monitoring at a Registration Center.
25.
If the exercise scenario requires that any personnel working for an organization not participating in the exercise be contacted, they shall be contacted for the purpose of checking connunications only.
