l TU ELECTRIC COMANCIIE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION 1999 FIELD EXERCISE GUIDELINES AND EXTENT OF PLAY
r.-
GUIDELINES AND EXTENT OF PLAY NOTES GENERAL GUIDELINES The following guidelines have been developed to instruct exercise controllerson the conduct necessary 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 ss realistically as possible.
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, l
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.
a.
Plant Computer System (SPDS) and PC-11 data in the simulator, OSC, TSC, and EOF will be driven by the simulator.
b.
At the direction of the Lead Exercise Controller, if the Simulator fails and cannot be retumed 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 chamels.
c.
"All-page" announcements, reauirine olant-wide alarms to be sounded, will be coordinated with the actual Control Room as follows:
- initiating facility will develop the message to be announced, then
- contact the real 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:
a.
if the action taken would prevent an exercise objective from beingmet or is outside the scope of the exercise.
b.
if the actions are judged to be unsafe or leading to violations oflaws.
c.
if the actions would degrade systems or equipment, or degrade response to a real emergency.
6.
All communications and messages will begin and end with the statement "This is a drill".

7.
This exercise will be graded by the NRC and FEMA. Controller / evaluators SHAI 1.
NQI coach or correct players during the course of the exercise. Mistakes or areas of improvement should be noted, with feedback given to the players at the critique j
following the exercise.
8.
The 15-minute clock for making local emergency notifications is satisfied when the l
communicator begins reading the contents of the Emergency Notification Message Form l
to DPS Waco and Somervell and IN : counties.
- 9. -
Participants shall comply with the instructions from the controller organization. If a L conflict exists between scenario data and actual data, infonn the Facility Lead Controller and wait for furtherinstructions.
10.
Controller / evaluators /roleplayers will be identified by wearing either an arm band, special badge, or vest.
SAFETY 1.
Each controller and evaluator is responsible to ensure that the exerrise is conducted in a -
safe marner.
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 "This is not. recent not a drill" TU-99-FE -

ACTIVITIES TO BE SIMULATED (EXTENT OF PLAY)
The following is a list of activities that will be simulated during the exercise. NO OTilER ACTIVITIES WILL BE SIMULATED UNLESS APPROVED BY TIIE EXERCISE LEAD CONTROLLER.
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 1
personnel who repon 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-duty Shift Manager in theItal Control Room.
3.
Utility personnel that are not onsite at the time of the exercise will not be notified at home.
i 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. Security should setup roadblock equipment, but traffic willERT actually be impeded.
6.
Accountability will be simulated as follows:
a.
Facility accountability will be performed in the TSC and OSC only.
j b.
Security sweeps will be conducted by dispatching Officers, but " bullhorn" announcements willNQIbe made, c.
Security will be required to print a Security Accountability Report. At this point, a Security controller will interject a simulated repon and it will be transmitted IAW Security procedures.
7.
Emergency repairs or modifications to plant equipment (e.g., temp. cooling of ECCS pumps, breaker replacement, etc) will be simulated. Ilowever, 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 perfonn 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.

ACTIVfflES TO BE SIMULATED (EXTENT OF PLAY) continued 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 the facepiece removed. If SCBAs are simulated being used, the controllers should simulate the consumption of air, requiring bottle changeout as appropriate.
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 funher action is required by the exercise players.
I1.
Fire Brigade should lay out hoses and other suppression equipment, however, actual water flow and/or suppression system operation will be simulated.
12.
Roleplayers and/or recordings will be used for:
TES Dispatcher National Weather Service ENS line IIPN line Phone Bank Reporters Unit 2 Control Room any injured persons Squaw Creek Park staff 13.
Once sufficient personnel have responded to staff the facility, a list of players will be given to each facility manager to ensure the designated team players are chosen to remain.
