SCOPE OF EXERCISE',,
s x,
s i
On October 1, 1986, Virginia Electric and Power Company intends to demonstrate its capability to effectiv'ely implemerit the Surry Power Station (SPS) m Emergency Plan in a small scale exercise.
The purpose of this exercise is to
}
activate and evaluate major portions of the Emergency Plan,' associated implementing procedures, and selected portions of the Virginia Electric and Power. Company Corporate Emergency Response Plan in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulation 10CF'R50.47(b)(14).
4 A scenario shall be prepared to accomplish a successive escalation of the emergency from the " Notification of Unusual Event" to a." Site' Area Emergency" outlirkd in NUREG-0654.
Free. play is encouraged and classification as controllers will only interfere with the play if' the exercise lags behind i
4 schedule, if.the emergency response personnel take kncorrect actions to carry them to the next exercise event, or if action is taken that would correct the expected simulated response earlier than scheduled by 'the ' scenario.
At no time will the exercise be. psrmitted to interfere with the routine safe 1
operaths of the station.
Station man 5.gerrent may, at their discretion, s
suspend,the exercise for any period of titae ' necessary to ensure this goal.
~
Exercise " players" will not? have prior knowledge of>the simulated incident or any parts thereof. '
.v The Technical SupportiCenter, the OperationsiSupport Center, and the Local l
Emargency Operations Facility will be activated in response to appropriate scenario actions.

Virginia Electric and Power Company also intends to activate the Corporate Emergency Response Plan and associated implementing procedures at its General Office Building in Richmond, Virginia, to demonstrate the Corporate Emergency Response Center capability to interact with the Local Emergency Operations Facility and the Local Public News Center.
1 OBJECTIVES OF EXERCISE The objectives of this exercise are to demonstrate by actual performance a number of key emergency preparedness functions as they relate to the Surry Power Station (SPS) Emergency Plan.
The simulated accident will involve response and subsequent recovery actions to include:
emergency classification, notification of company personnel and off-site organizations, simulated actions to correct the emergency condition, and initiation of accident assessment and protective actions as necessary to cope with the event.
In addition, the exercise will simulate an emergency that results in off-site radiological release.
Simulations of some aspects of emergency preparedness, without actual demonstrations by the Station or Corporate entities, may occur where it is deemed j
impractical to call for personnel involvement.
The following objectives have been developed in order to establish the scope of the 1986 SPS emergency exercise.
The objectives ensure that required events are included in the exercise scenario, and establish criteria to be evaluated by controllers and observers during the actual conduct of the exercise.
