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) directed at the plant site. Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant designed the June 4, 2013, exercise to satisfy this requirement, and the NRC inspected the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant HA event exercise to assess the licensees ability to effectively implement their Emergency Plan during an HA event and adequately protect public health and safety.

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) directed at the plant site. Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant designed the June 4, 2013, exercise to satisfy this requirement, and the NRC inspected the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant HA event exercise to assess the licensees ability to effectively implement their Emergency Plan during an 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 June 4, 2013, regarding the implementation of the Risk-Significant Planning Standards (RSPSs) 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 (CRS), Alternate Emergency Response Facility, Incident Command Post (ICP), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

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 (IRs) 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 Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plants self-assessment of its ERO performance during the June 4, 2013, exercise and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.g.

The inspectors reviewed various documents, which 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
