Final Exercise Report for the October 9,1986, Exercise of Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans for the Peach Bottm Atmic Station Attached is a copy of the Final Exercise Report for the October 9,1986, exercise of the offsite radiological emergency preparedness plans for the Peach Bottom Atmic Power Station. This exercise report was prepared by the Region III office staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The following four deficiencies were identified as a result of this exercise:
State of Maryland l.
Sirens were sounded and the EBS was activated prior to the exercise and out-of-sequence. Because the process was not simulated during the exercise play, and therefore not observed, the State and risk counties did not demonstrate for evaluation the capability to cmply with the 15-minute alert and notifi-cation requirement.
2.
24-hour staffing capability was not demonstrated.
3.
Harford County, Maryland Since many tasks required to be accmplished were not denon-strated for FEMA observation, FEMA Region III cannot state that there is adequate assurance that the public health and safety will be protected.
