. 3 EMERGENCY EXERCISE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES On March 16, 1988, a Radiological Emergency Exercise will be conducted at the Virgil C.. Summer Nuclear Station to test the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency plans and organizations.
The simulated emergency will require mobilization and response of on-site and off-site Company personnel to verify the capability in an actual emergency.
The exercise will not require the mobilization of state and local government emergency personnel.
Therefore, the scenario will be designed to provide Company personnel with accident conditions that can be mitigated and/or corrected providing proper decisions are made and appropriate actions are taken. Conditions resulting in major off-site releases will not be included.
The, specific elements of the Virgil C.
Summer Nuclear Station Radiation Emergency Plan which will be exercised include:
Accident assessment and classification Managerial direction and control Technical Support Center operations Operations Support Center operations Emergency Operations Facility operations News Media Center operations Site evacuation, personnel accountability and access control Firefighting operations Public alerting and notification procedures The specific objectives of the Rt.Mological Emergency Exercise for South Carolina Electric and Gas Company nersannel are:
1.
To test the ability of operatlans personnel to effectively assess and respond to an abnormal operating condition which may produce an actual or potential off-site radioactive release.
2.
To test the abilities of health physics and environmental monitoring personnel, operating under emergency conditions, to monitor and assess radiological dose rates; to determine specific contamination levels, airborne, and/or surface deposited concentrations;
- and, to assess specific indications (including their rates of change) that may be used as they should for initiating emergency measures.
This constitutes one of the semi-annual Health Physics Drills and the annual Radiation Monitoring Drill.
3.
To test the Station's site warning and evacuation procedures with
)
regards to effectiveness and operability.
i 4.
To test the Station's emergency communications systems between the i
station and federal, state and local governments and field monitoring teams. This constitutes the Annual Communications Drill.
