| Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.j, requires, in part, that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a Hostile Action (HA) event directed at the plant site. LaSalle County Station designed the May 21, 2014, exercise to satisfy this requirement, and the NRC inspected the LaSalle County Station HA event exercise to assess the licensee's ability to effectively implement their Emergency Plan during a HA event and adequately protect public health and safety. The exercise evaluation consisted of the following reviews and assessments: The adequacy of the licensee's performance in the biennial exercise conducted on May 21, 2014, regarding the implementation of the Risk-Significant Planning Standards in 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), respectively. The overall adequacy of the licensee's emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities," and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Alternative Emergency Response Facility, Incident Command Post, Central Alarm Station, and the Emergency Operations Facility. A review of other performance areas such as the licensee ERO's recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, including interactions with site security staff; intra and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies, including local law enforcement agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. Past performance issues from NRC inspection reports to determine the effectiveness of corrective actions, as demonstrated during this exercise, to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). The adequacy of the licensee's post-exercise critiques, to evaluate LaSalle County Station's self-assessment of its ERO performance during the May 21, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g. | | Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.j, requires, in part, that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a Hostile Action (HA) event directed at the plant site.

1EP7 Exercise Evaluation - Hostile Action Event
Main article: IP 71114.07
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Appendix E,Section IV.F.2.j, requires, in part, that nuclear power reactor licensees, in each eight calendar year exercise cycle, provide the opportunity for their Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to respond to a Hostile Action (HA) event directed at the plant site. LaSalle County Station designed the May 21, 2014, exercise to satisfy this requirement, and the NRC inspected the LaSalle County Station HA event exercise to assess the licensees ability to effectively implement their Emergency Plan during a HA event and adequately protect public health and safety.
The exercise evaluation consisted of the following reviews and assessments:
- The adequacy of the licensees performance in the biennial exercise conducted on May 21, 2014, regarding the implementation of the Risk-Significant Planning Standards in 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(4), (5), (9), and (10), which address emergency classification, offsite notification, radiological assessment, and Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), respectively.
- The overall adequacy of the licensees emergency response facilities with regard to NUREG-0696, Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities, and Emergency Plan commitments. The facilities assessed were the Control Room Simulator, Alternative Emergency Response Facility, Incident Command Post, Central Alarm Station, and the Emergency Operations Facility.
- A review of other performance areas such as the licensee EROs recognition of abnormal plant conditions; command and control, including interactions with site security staff; intra and inter-facility communications; prioritization of mitigating activities; utilization of repair and field monitoring teams; interface with offsite agencies, including local law enforcement agencies; staffing and procedure adequacy; and the overall implementation of the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures.
- Past performance issues from NRC inspection reports to determine the effectiveness of corrective actions, as demonstrated during this exercise, to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
- The adequacy of the licensees post-exercise critiques, to evaluate LaSalle County Stations self-assessment of its ERO performance during the May 21, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.
The inspectors reviewed various documents that are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the exercise evaluation on a biennial basis.
This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.07-06.
b. Findings
