NOTE Care sh% de taken to assure individuals who may overhear or observe exercifs activities are not misled into believing that an actual emergency situation ex'sts.

8. All errergency communications that are part of the exercise shall be clear!y identNied as part of the exercise. Verbal communications shall be initiated and closed by the statement "Tilis is a drilF. Any use of plant alarms (Station Alarm or Fire Alarm) will be preceded by announcing "This is a drilr over the plant page systern. Any axarcise documentation t ansniit'ed via fecsimile machine shall have the word "Onll" stamped on them prior to transmittal.
9. Methodology and assumptions related to the development of data for specific areas are provided with the data in Section Vll of this manual.
10. Exercise participants will include the following emergency organizations:

Waterford 3 Onshift Emergency Organization (Normal Operations Shift Personnel)

Onsite Emergency Organization (TSC and OSC)

Nearsite Emergency Organization (EOF)

All Waterford 3 site personnel are potential participants, since the site personnel are expected to report abnormal conditions observed during the exercise, such as smoke, unusual noises, etc. The emergency organization may also call out additional personnel to assist in the response to the simulated emergency conditions.

E.n_,telqv - Louisiana Offsite Emergency Organization (ENC)

Waterford 1&2 Control Room Limited participation (Communications Only)

Entergy district offices and maintenance divisions will not participate in this exercise. Ccmmunications with these groups may be initiated but their response will be simulated.

l C. Simulation Guidelines

~ NOTE I-Simulated exercise events will be initiated as indicated in this exercise scenario package under the direction of the Lead Controller. Since all possible participant reactions to the simulated exercise events can not be anticipated, ,

individual Controllers may initiate simulated situations to preserve the continuity l of the overall scenario timeline without prior approval of the Lead Controller.  ;

However, individuals are prohibited from creating real or simulated situations which are not provided for in the scenario package and may affect the timeline without prior approval of the Lead Controller.

1. Exercise participants are expected to carry out all responses to the postulated scenario events as if responding to a real emergency. Actions required by olant  !

Operating Procedures and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures shall bc .j carried out to the fullest extent possible, unless otherwise directad by the dri!!

control team.

.2. Since the exercise will be performed using the Waterford 3 Control Room Simulator, exercise plant parameter data and radiological monitoring data wi!! be obtained from the Simulator control panels and the SDS terminals, which will be i configined to display Simulator data.

Radiological Monitoring System (RMS) data will ce simulated through the use of posted data sheets at the -4 Control Point Count Room RMS terminal. l If a failure of tho Simulator occurs, and tne Simulator can not be recovoied in a reasonable period of time, backup data sheets will be available and postod in appropriate locations.

3. Portable fire exunguishers or other sealed canisters chall not have the seals  ;

broken or safety pins removed in response to the postulated scenario avents,  !

except when specifically required by instructions provided in this scenario packa08- .j i

4. Exercise panicipants will be expecteo to obtain tne oroper tools and equipment necessary in responding to the scenario conditions in order to receive credit for their actions to mitigate the consequences of the simulated conditions.

The exercise package includes the extensive use of mock-ups to simulate plant -

equipment. in most situations where mock-ups are available, the exercise participsnts will be expected to respond to the actual plant equipment and then the drill control team will direct them to the mock-up. Due to the location of some mock-ups, the drill control team may ins'ruct the participants to proceed directly to the mock-up. Specific instructions are provided in this scenario package regarding the use of individual mock-ups.

5. The use of protective clothing will not be simulated by the exercise participants in the plant.
6. To prevent unnecessarily alarming members of the general public, who may observe their activities, the use of protective clothing and respirators will be simulated by the radiological field monitoring teams.
7. SCBAs will be donned, as required by the scenario conditions, out, after initial fitting on the face, tt a masks may be removed.
8. The use of silver zeulite cartridges when taking air samples will be simulated.

Charcoal cartridges will be provided by the drill control team for use in the air sarnplers.

9. The use of potassium iodide will be simulated.

10. if a decision is made to use the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS),

sampling activities will be simulated. l l

11. No piant equipment will actually be tagged out in response to the scenario events. However, all necessary authorizations required by procedures are i expected to be obtained prior to the simulation of he tag out.

l

12. Radiological postings as required by the simulated scenario radiation levels yd not be simulated. The drill control team will insure that the postings are appropriatelylabeled to identify them as part of the drill.
13. Actual opera? ion of the Whole Body Cour,ter, or the Backup Whole Body l Counter, will be simulated. Due to the number of Health Physics personnel l assigned to the dril! control team, sufficient personnel wiil not be available to ;

support this activity. i I '

14. If consideration is given to relocating the Primary Access Point (PAP) due to the simulated radiologhal conditions, this activity will be simulated. j i
