' EMERGENCY PIAN (EP) EXERCISE 1
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES I
l The 1989 BFN EP exercise will be a full-scale exercise requiring full participation by TVA, the state, and local emergency response agencies.
TVA will support the state in an Ingestion Exposure Pathway exercise.
Exercise Goals TVA's goals.for the 1989 BFN exercise are as follows:
1.
To allow plant and Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) personnel to test and' demonstrate their response capability in accordance with the Nuclear Power-Radiological Emergency Plan (NP-REP), BFN Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs), and CECC EPIPs to protect the health and safety of TVA employees and the general public.
2.
To demonstrate the deficiency observed in a recent exercise listed in item H has been corrected.
3.
To provide training for emergency response personnel.
4.
To perform post-exercise critiques to determine any areas requiring additional capability improvement and to identify emergency preparedness weaknesses.
5.
Demonstrate the ability of TVA to support the state in their emergency response activities within the Ingestion Exposure Pathway emergency planning zone.
Exercise Objectives A.
Control Room Objectives 1.
