P-86379 May 22, 1986 Attachment A Page.1 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF Ff3AVEX-86 The scope and objectives of the Fort St. / rain (FSV) 1986 Emergency Preparedness Exercise Program objective, are based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requiremer.s set forth in 10CFR 50.47, Appendix E.
Additional guidance provided in NUREG's 3654 (Rev 1),
0696, and 0737 (Supplement 1) as well as previous FSV exercise results were used in developing the objectives.
The exercise will include the activation of the PSCC Emergency Response Facilities.
It will also include full participation by the NRC and partial participation, if any, from State and local support groups. The FSV Early Warning Alert (EWA) System within the five mile planning zone will not be activated in association with the exercise due to the time of day. However, provisions will be made to
' demonstrate the EWA System during normal-business hours prior to, or following, the actual exercise. The exact time and date of EWA System activation will be coordinated with FEMA, Region XIII.
The overall objective of the 1986 exercise is to evaluate the effectiveness and capabilities of the FSV Emergency Preparedness Organization.
The exercise scenario is structured to provide a mechanism which will accurately test the adequacy of both the onsite and offsite elements of the emergency Preparedness Program.
The specific PSCC F0SAVEX-86 objectives are listed below.
