EXERCISE WEAKNESSES
1.
The Medical Drill was inadequate.
The team responding to the injured
man did not take along any first aid equipment (first aid kit, trauma kit,
stretcher).
Once the medical team arrived at the scene of the injury, no
first aid actions or concerns were demonstrated, and the team members took
no actions for 30 to 35 minutes.
Excessive simulation of actions
(simulated evacuation of victim, simulated ambulance) further degraded
the demonstration (Item No. 266/87018-02; 301/87018-02) (Section 5.d).
2.
At times, information flow from the Technical Support Center (TSC) was
inadequate.
The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) staff misunderstood
aspects of plant status and the significance of the (scenario) fire for
more than an hour after it began.
The E0F staff also did not understand
why the TSC escalated to a General Emergency condition.
This appeared to
be caused by a lack of information from the TSC on the location of the
fire and a related problem with the filter dampers.
Associated with this
was the failure to recognize the significant increase in the release rates
being measured by the auxiliary building vent monitor
(Item No. 266/87018-03; 301/87018-03) (Section 5.f).
3.
Various problems in the operation of the EOF were observed, due to
inadequate staffing.
This resulted in the Radcon/ Waste Manager, the E0F
Communicator, and The Assistant Radcon/ Waste Manager being significantly
overburdened with functions and duties.
(Item No. 266/87018-04;
301/87018-04) (Section 5.f).
