TU ELECTRIC COMANCIIE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION 1997 FIELD EXERCISE GUIDELINES AND EXTENT OF PLAY
l l
l GUIDELINES AND EXTENT OF PLAY NOTES GENERAL GUIDELINES The following guidelines have been developed to instruct exercise controllers on the conduct necessary l
to fulfill the exercise objectives. Where no instructions are provided for a particular objective, actions that would be taken for a real emergency should be taken for the exercise. The intent of the exercise is to demonstrate actual emergency response capabilities as realistically as possible.
l 1.
The exercise controller organization will control all phases of the exercise by passing messages to the participants, either per the timeline or in response to the actions of the participants.
2.
The controller and the evaluator organizations are at the direction of the Exercise Lead Controller. Additionally, a lead facility controller will be assigned to each Emergency Response Facility.
3.
A controller will be assigned to each location or event where an emergency response is to be demonstrated.
4.
The Control Room activities will be conducted in the NOSF Simulator.
Plant Computer System (SPDS) and PC-11 data in the simulator, OSC, TSC, a.
and EOF will be driven by the simulator.
b.
At the direction of the Lead Exercise Controller, if the Simulator fails and cannot be returned to service, the exercise may be continued for the other facilities by the CR staff and controllers acting as roleplayers and presenting simulated plant data by means of the established communication channels.
"All-page" announcements, requiring plant-wide alarms to be sounded, will be c.
coordinated with the actual Control Room as follows:
- initiating facility will develop the message to be announced, then
- contact the Control Room who will actually make the announcement and sound the alarm.
5.
The controllers should allow free-play. However, free-play will be stopped under the following conditions:
if the action taken would prevent an exercise objective from being met or is a.
outside the scope of the exercise.
b.
if the actions are judged to be unsafe or leading to violations of laws.
if the actions would degrade systems or equipment, or degrade response to a c.
real emergency.
6.
All communications and messages will begin and end with the statement "This is a drill".
TU-97-FE 1
Rev.1
+
i 7.
This exercise will be graded by the NRC and FEMA. Controller / evaluators SHALL NOT coach or correct players during the course of the exercise. Mistakes l
or areas of improvement should be noted, with feedback given to the players at the i
critique following the exercise.
8.
The 15-minute clock for making local emergency notifications is satisfied when the I
communicator begins reading the contents of the Emergency Notification Message Form to DPS Waco and Somervell and Hood counties.
1 9.
Participants shall comply with the instructions from the controller organization. If a conflict exists between scenario data and actual data, inform the Facility Lead 4.
Controller and wait for further instructions.
' 10.
Controller / evaluators /roleplayers will be identified by wearing either an arm band or special badge.
. SAFETY 1.
Each controller and evaluator is responsible to ensure that the exercise is conducted m a safe manner, i
2.
If a controller or evaluator observes an unsafe exercise activity, stop the activity and notify Exercise Lead Controller.
3.
If an actual emergency occurs, the exercise will be terminated. All communications concerning an actual emergency will begin and end with 4
"This is not, repeat. not a drill."

4 ACTIVITIES TO BE SIMULATED (EXTENT OF PLAY)
The following is a list of activities that will be simulated during the exercise. NO OTHER ACTIVITIES WILL BE SIMU~ LATED UNLESS APPROVED BY THE EXERCISE LEAD CONTROLLER.
J 1.
The Control Room operation will be conducted in the NOSF Simulator.
Operations personnel will be pre. positioned in the Simulator when the exercise starts. Additional personnel who report to the Control Room during emergencies will report to the Simulator.
2.
No activities involving actual plant systems, either manipulation or modification, are allowed by exercise personnel without explicit permission of the on<luty Shift i
Manager in the r_eal Control Room.
e l
3.
Utility personnel that are not onsite at the time of the exercise will not be notified at home.
4.
Pager activation will use the normal equipment and procedures, but a " drill only" code will be transmitted.
5.
Site evacuation will be simulated. Once the decision to evacuate has been made, a pre-formatted message to simulate the evacuation will be handed to the players.
6.
Accountability will be simulated as follows:
Facility accountability will be performed in the TSC and OSC only.
a.
b.
Security sweeps will be conducted by dispatching Officers, but " bullhorn" announcements will NOT be made, and traffic will HQT actually be impeded.
Security will be required to print a Security Accountability Report. At this c.
point, a Security controller will interject a simulated report and it will be transmitted IAW Security procedures.
2 7.
Emergency repairs or modifications to plant equipment (e.g., temp. cooling of ECCS pumps, breaker replacement, etc) will be simulated. However, all tools, equipment, and procedures required to complete the repairs should be obtained.
Every effort should be made by the applicable controller to ensure that needed materials are onhand and are adequate to perform the assigned task.
8.
Protective clothing, or other potentially contaminated materials, will not be used outside the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) for the purposes of the exercise.
Any use of protective clothing, by either onsite or offsite personnel, which is outside of the RCA will be simulated.
9.
If an air purifying or SCBA respirator is dictated for any team (e.g., Fire Brigade, RP, etc); the respirators will be issued, verified operational, seal checked, and then removed.
Rev.1 l
L.
l ACTIVITIES TO BE SIMULATED (EXTENT OF PLAY) continued 10.
ERDS will be activated from the TSC, however, the activation will be unsuccessful since the plant computer system is being driven by the Simulator. No further action is required by the exercise players.
11.
Fire Brigade should lay out hoses and other suppression equipment, however, actual water flow and/or suppression system operation will be simulated.
12.
The News Center press work area, overlooking the Simulator, will not be set up to l
avoid distracting the simulator operating crew.
13.
Roleplayers and/or recordings will be used for:
TES Dispatcher National Weather Service ENS line HPN line Phone Bank.
Reporters -
Unit 2 Control Room any injured persons 14.
Once sufficient personnel have responded to staff the facility, a list of players wal be j
given to each facility manager to ensure the designated team players are chosen to remam.
