Lessons Learned IP 92707 The staff concluded that continuing to utilize the IP 92707 does not provide a sufficient evaluation of the overall protective strategy but is useful in testing defense-in-depth capabilities.
- Positives:
- Minimal controller issues
- Evaluation of internal response positions
- Efficiencies gained with briefings 4
Lessons Learned IP 92707
- Areas for improvement:
- Does not provide a holistic evaluation of the overall protective strategy
- Not able to utilize all possible responders during each LSTRD
- Ability to evaluate command & control
- MILES equipment varied
- Performance and training of adversaries varied 5
Lessons Learned Addendum 5
- Positives
- Exercise outcome determination
- Reduced number of personnel
- Challenges:
- Element of surprise
- Multiple attack vectors
- Resetting individuals from outside to inside
- Knowledge gap/unearned information 6
Best Practice IP 71130.03 MAF directors attending tabletops, protective strategy briefs Conducting MAF tours on Wednesday afternoon after NRC inspection team provides the general parameters of likely exercises to MAF director Locating MAF director team room and NRC team room near each other during Planning Week Conducting OCA/PA/VA tours simultaneously Submitting the MAF package with the NRC submittal so the NRC inspection can review it in the office versus on-site Consider limiting the use of SGI matrices to those that absolutely need them 7
- Placing responders in positions necessary to expedite exercise(s)
- Conference call/bridge line for controller calls
- Adding realism to the exercise(s)
- Radio checks conducted at MILES trailer
- Provide videos of no play areas in which radiation levels may preclude play 8
Best Practice IP 71130.03
Areas for Consideration
- Play and control of no play" areas
- Suppression calls (ties up radios)
- Matrices: hearing an explosion
- Day and night exercises
- Use of additional response personnel in licensee conducted FOF exercises
- e.g., vehicle search personnel for sally port operations
- Vehicle speed limits versus responder engagements
- Use of gas masks in exercises
- Understanding of how long equipment last upon LOOP
- Understanding of equipment that supplies back-up power (what/where/how)
