1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the April 19, 2017, Biennial Emergency Preparedness Exercises objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensees Emergency Plan and to verify that the exercises simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensees capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of other drills and exercises conducted from 2015 through 2017, to verify that those drills scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the April 19, 2017, exercise.
The inspectors evaluated the licensees exercise performance, focusing on the risk-significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision-making, implementation of accident mitigation strategies, and correction of past exercise weaknesses in the following emergency response facilities:
- Control Room Simulator;
- Operations Support Center (OSC); and
- Emergency Operations Facility.
The inspectors also assessed the licensees recognition of abnormal plant conditions, transfer of responsibilities between facilities, internal communications, interfaces with offsite officials, readiness of emergency facilities and related equipment, and overall implementation of the licensees Emergency Plan.
The inspectors attended post-exercise critiques in the control room simulator, TSC, OSC, and emergency operations facility to evaluate the licensees initial self-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensees lead exercise evaluators and managers to obtain the licensees findings and assessments of its exercise participants performances. These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors independent observations and assessments to assess the licensees ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.

a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the inspection activity on-site, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenarios submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Emergency Plan as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.47(b)(14). Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This review of the exercise objectives and scenario constituted one inspection sample as defined in IP 71114.08.
