APPENDIX
EXERCISE WEAKNESSES
,
1.
There were several examples of improper controller actions in the Control
Room (Paragraph 5.a).
(50-254/86011-01 and 50-265/86010-01)
2.
Internal breakdowns in communications within the TSC resulted in late
awareness of a radioactive release, late awareness of the cause of the
loss of secondary containment, and the late simulated evacuation of
non-essential onsite personnel (Paragraph 5.b).
(50-254/86011-02 and
50-265/86010-02)
3.
Technicians involved with post-accident sampling failed to follow
procedural guidance regarding handling of samples at the collection point
and to properly shield, label and log receipt of the samples at an
-
appropriately posted counting facility.
(Paragraph 5.c).
(50-254/86011-03 and 50-265/86010-03)
,
4.
An excessive amount of time was taken to have the E0F fully operational
from the time that the decision was made to activate this facility
(Paragraph 5.d).
(50-254/86011-04 and 50-265/86010-04)
5.
Late changes in the onsite scenario were inadequately coordinated with
the NRC evaluators and at least some offsite exercise controllers
(Paragraph 5.g).
(50-254/86011-05 and 50-265/86010-05)
