PROPOSED SEOUENCE FOR Tile Full SCALE EXERCISE - SEP 21,1999:

Time Event / Action (min) 0000

1. A controller initiates the exercise by tipping over a poly pac cart, starting j

the smoke generator and opening the valve to the flange prop. A poly pac j

will be on the floor with the contents spilled. Primary Card #1 (PC#1) will be used if area personnel are confused. Note: the reaction of 63% nitric acid and UO powder generates NO, gases.

2

2. The Emergency Coordinator is notified of the situation.

3. An operator tries to close the manifold valve on the wall of line 5. A

]

controller hands PC #7 to the operator indicating the valve has failed open.

4. The Emergency Coordinator activates the Emergency Response Organization and assumes or assigns Emergency Director responsibilities.

5. The Emergency Coordinator evaluates the situation and instructs the main station guard to use the Voice Communication System to evacuate the area.

6. During the evacuation an operator is overcome by the fumes and is rendered unconscious near the scene.

7. Brigade, HP Response, Medical and Security Teams are activated, report to appropriate assembly points and await instructions.

j

8. Section supervisors account for their personnel and report to the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator is notified that one person cannot be accounted for.

9. An operator is sent outside to 3 hut off the pump at the nitric acid bulk storage tank.

0015

10. Off duty command staff is notified of the emergency.

11. Nitric acid flow is stopped when the pump is shut down.

12. The entry team enters and finds the victim. PC #4 is handed to the responder indicating that the employee is unconscious and in respiratory distress.

13. The Emergency Coordinator dispatches an HP Technician to the roof to take the appropriate samples. A smoke bomb is used to simulate NOx fumes escaping the building.

14. The incident is classified as Local, Alert or Site Area Emergency.

15. Proper outside agencies are notified.

16. The victim is removed from the hot zone and taken to decon.

17. On site Emergency Medical Service is notified of a casualty.

18. The spill is confined.

(

0030

19. Decon team puts the casualty on oxygen and performs decontamination. A controller hands PC #6 to the HP Responder attached to the Decon team.

20. On site Emergency Medical Services contacts the Emergency Coordinator and requests off site assistance - the patient's condition does not improve 1

(PC #17 is issued).

Time Event / Action (min)

21. The Einergency Coordinator or his appointee calls 911 and requests off site EMS for a contaminated victim.

9. The results of the stack sample (PC #10)is communicated to the Emergency Coordinator - minor release of radioactive materials.

23. The Emergency Coordinator sends responders downwind with Drager tubes to determine NOx concentrations.

24. The Emergency Coordinator establishes a staging area for off site Emergency Medical Service response.

25. IIP Response Team takes impact samples near the area of the spill.

26. IIP Response Team samples the area surrounding the building.

0045

27. Drager tubes results are communicated to the Emergency Coordinator (PC

1. 16).

28. Entry team is deconned and checked for contamination.

29. Entry team vitals are taken.

30. Decon team is deconned and checked for contamination.

31. Decon team vitals are taken.

32. HP samples are analyzed and results evaluated (PC # 11 through PC #15).

33. The casualty is transported to Richland Memorial liospital.

34. Command staff decides on the proper method to clean up the spill.

0060

35. When objectives of the exercise have been met the Exercise Controller will give PC # 17 to the Emergency Coordinator and terminate the exercise.
