Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness (EP)
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation (71114.01 - 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
On March 18, 2014, Exelon conducted a biennial Oyster Creek Generating Station emergency preparedness exercise. This exercise had been scheduled for October 8, 2013, but was not conducted due to the Federal Government shutdown which occurred at that time. Exelon was granted a license exemption by the NRC staff to conduct the drill in March 2014, when Federal evaluation of the onsite and offsite portions of the exercise could be performed. The inspectors evaluated the adequacy of the licensees conduct of the exercise and its capability to assess their own staff performance via a formal critique process, as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.47(b) (14). This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
The exercise evaluation consisted of the following review and assessment:
- The adequacy of Exelons performance in the biennial full-participation exercise regarding the implementation of the planning standards described in 10 CFR 50.47(b) (4), (5), (9), and (10), which are: emergency classification; offsite notification; radiological assessment; onsite protective actions, and public protective action recommendations, respectively.
- The overall adequacy of Exelons emergency response facilities (ERFs) with regard to Emergency Plan commitments. The ERFs assessed were: the Control Room Simulator, the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), and the Joint Information Center (JIC).
- A review of other performance areas, such as the licensees emergency response organization (ERO) 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.
- A review of past performance issues from the last NRC Oyster Creek exercise inspection report and Exelons EP drill reports, to determine the effectiveness of licensee corrective actions as demonstrated during the March 18, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
- A review of the licensees post-exercise critiques, to evaluate Exelons self-assessment of its ERO performance during the March 18, 2014, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.
The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.

No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review (71114.08 - 1 Sample)
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the March 18, 2014, emergency preparedness exercise, the NRC inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenario, which Exelon had submitted to the NRC, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Oyster Creek Emergency Plan as required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.47(b) (14). This overall exercise inspection activity represented the completion of one sample on a biennial cycle.
The inspectors reviewed the documents listed in the attachment to this report.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
