SCOPE and PARTICIPAN*1 Scope As an assurance that the health and safety of the general public is protected in the event of an accident at the Fort Calhoun Station (FCS.), the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) conducts annual emergency preparedness exercises. Exercises simulate accident conditions and radiological hazards that. require major portions of utility, state and local emergency response plans and procedures to be implemented.

Emergency responses are evaluated by participants, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Federal. Emergency Management Agency.

Exercise accident sequences, and the severity and characteristics of radiological hazards are held in confidence prior to conducting the exercise. The 1989 exercise scenario is sufficient to require complete activation of the OPPD emergency response organization, and will require protective actions for the general public surrounding FCS. A radiological medical emergency is included.to demonstrate the ability to respond to contaminated injured individuals. Additionally, requirements of a semi-annual health physics drill, an annual communication drill, and a fire drill will be satisfied during the exercise.

The State of Nebraska and the State of Iowa will participate on a full basis. Washington County in Nebraska, and Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties in Iowa will participate fully.

L OBJBCTIVES Exercise objectives for the exercise are provided under this' heading.

. The objectives constitute the framework for scenario development and provide a basis for evaluating responses by the emergency preparedness organization.

The Omaha Public Power District radiological emergency preparedness exercise objectives for the Fort Calhoun Station are based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements provided in 10CFR50.47,

" Emergency Plans", and 10CFR50, Appendix E, " Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities". Additional guidance provided in NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, " Criteria for l Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and l Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", was utilized in developing the objectives.

The list of objectives are grouped according to functional area of emergency response. Additionally, objectives have been cross referenced to major Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures used in demonstrating the objective,-and to applicable open deficiencies from prior exercises.
