INSTRUCTIONS AND RULE 8 FOR CONTROLLER 8 Instructions 1.

Personnel are assigned as controllers at all key functional areas to monitor and control the exercise. In addition, they will accompany radiological monitoring teams, plant health physics personnel, maintenance / repair and fire / medical teams.

2.

The in plant controllers will be coordinated by the Drill / Exercise Coordinator (D/EC) located in the TSC (extension 5544). The D/EC will be responsible for the overall conduct of the exercise scenarlo. Field controllers should contact the Environmental Controller in the EOF (extension 5074) regarding coordination problems or questions.

3.

Message forms and simulated Control Room data will be used to initiate, modify, and complete the events comprising the overall scenario. Selected controllers will use the message forms to place the scenarlo events in effect and to trigger responses from the participants. Each controller will have copies of the messages controlling the portion of the exercise scenario for which he/she is q

responsible. Evaluators will have packages sufficient to enable them to follow the V

scenario and facilitate evaluation of events.

Two kinds of messages will be used' Control messages are used as a primary means of starting scenario events by announcing or placing an event in effect by providing the players with scene setting infortnation/ conditions.

Contingency messages are used by the controllers m order to maintain the scenario plan continuity or schedule. Control messages will be verbally presented to the designated exercise participant at the time specihed in the event schedule. The controller may need to followup with an explanation of the message and answer questions to ensure that the participant understands the message.

4.

Scenario events are hypothetical. Portions of the scenario depicting plant system operational transients are simulated events. No Control Room actions or reactions involving operation of plant system or affecting generation capability will be initiated. All drill / exorcise scenario messages will be prefixed and/or suffixed with the words: "This is a Dntl." Controllers stationed at areas vital to maintaining generating capability should take extra precautions to ensure that messages or instructions regarding scenario events do not resuh in adverse

(

effects on actual plant operation.

EPP.1oS ATTACHMEin Vil PAGE 2 OF 5 REVISION 3 O'

r lNSTRUCTIONS AND RULES FOR CONTROLLERS 5.

Required controllers will have the time related radiological parameters of the scenario. This information should be issued upon request to the appropriate participants by the controller accompanying the radiological monitoring field teams.

6.

Some drill / exercise participants may insist that certain parts of the scenario are unrealistic. The controllers have the authority, with approval from the D/EC, to clarify any questions regarding scenario content, in some cases, it may be necessary to issue a contingency message to preserve the continuity and objectives of the drill or exercise. This must be authorized by the D/EC or Lead Controller.

7.

Prior to starting the drill / exercise, all telecommunications should be tested to ensure satisfactory communications between the Lead Controllers and the D/EC.

8.

All controllers will synchronize their watches to ensure that messages are delivered at the proper time. Times on messages are set relating to the beginning of the drill / exercise, with delivery of the first message at "T=0".

Frequent communications throughout the controller network is necessary to O

ensure time lines are maintained current in all locations.

9.

Controllers will commence their assignments at assembly locations for players they are to observe or as directed by the lead controller.

10.

Players are not allowed to introduce items into the exercise or scenario.

11.

Be sure to return all scenario packages and documentation generated by participants to the D/EC.

12.

Lunches may be provided; however, there are no specific lunch breaks in a drill / exercise. Participants should be relieved for lunch as time permits.

Emergency team leaders should decide when team members may take a lunch break.

O

EPPIoS ATTACHMENT Vill PAGE2OF3 y

REVISION 3 (v) lNSTRUCTIONS AND RULES FOR PLAYERS 9.

If the controller intervenes with your play, it is for a good reason. Obey your controllor's directions at all times. This is essential to the overall success of the exercise.

10.

If you disagree with your controller, you may ask him to reconsider or consult with the Exercise Coordinator as time permits. You must, however, accept his word as final and proceed.

11.

Respond to the controller's questions.

12.

You must not accept any messages / instructions from federal evaluators. If they want to Initiate actions or test your abilities, they must work through your controller.

13.

You must play as if radiation levels actually are present, in accordance with the information you have received. This may require that you wear dosimeters and anti contamination clothing, observe good radiation protection practicos, and be aware of and minimize your radiation exposure. Identify the individuals in p

your emergency response organization who are responsible for informing you of V

these items. Follow their instructions. During drills / exercises plant anti-contamination clothing is not to be wom outside of the RCA. If the drill / exercise requires protective clothing outside the RCA, it should be simulated.

14.

The controllers and evaluators are exempt from acting as if simulated radiation levels from the emergency exercise are present. Do not let them confuse you or l

cause you to act unwisely.

l 15.

If you are entering normal nuclear station radiation areas, observe all rules and procedures. No one (even the controller and federal evaluators) is exempt from normal station radiological practices and procedures.

16.

Demonstrate knowledge of your Radiation Emergency Plan, emergency operations, and procedures.

Keep a list of items you feel will improve your plans and procedures. Provide this to your lead player. Lead players will ensure these are considered. If necessary, they willidentify them to the controller. Remember one of the main purposes of the exercise is for you, the player, to assure yourself that you are i

prepared adequately. Areas for improvement or lessons learned, when identified, willimprove your overall emergency preparedness.

21.

A critique of the exercise will occur after the exercise is terminated. Provide your input to your lead player or the controller if you are not to be present. This will help in the overall evaluation the controller will present during the exercise critique preparation.

22.

Operators who have been assigned as players during a drill or exercise should obtain a radio and Drill Building Operator keys and be at their appropriate turnover station prior to the beginning of the drill or exercise. Keys to the Switchyard must be obtained from the On duty Shift Supervisor using established procedures. The simulator personnel status board is to reflect the correct players.

l a.

Emergency Exercise Objectives.

i l

b.

The specific objectives to test the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, State and Local Emergency plans.

j i

c.

The exercise scenario, initiating events, and expected courses of action to be undertaken.

[

2.

A summary and description of each area's location, emergency mission, and I

personnel and their emergency responsibilities should be discussed with the l

l evaluators, controllers, observers.

3.

Evaluators, controllers, observers should be at their assigned posts between 30 and 45 minutes prior to the commencement of the exercise, even though the area being j

evaluated may not be activated until later in the exercise.

irO 4.

If controllers are to provide information (initiating events, instrumentation readings, environmental monitoring results, etc.) to the exercise participants, the information i

must be provided exactly as prescribed and exactly when prescribed. Failure to l

provide the information appropriately may invalidate the results of the exercise.

5.

A chronological record must be kept for areas surveyed. The record should show the actual time of the event or occurrence, the result or action taken, elapsed time, l

(where. applicable) snd pertinent commer ts.

- 6.

Controllers should offer no information, advice or assistance to the exercise i

participants other than what is intended by the scenario. Any such requests should be declined. Controllers will only interpose themselves if the participants are taking l

_- an action that will cause the exercise to go outside the parameters of the anticipated

' time schedule and/or outoome. Examples of problems rcquiring such interposition -

may include: a dose calculation / projection that is so grossly inaccurate that an action level other than the one postulated for the scenario would be instituted; an activity that

. is taking so much longer than predicted that the exercise scenario is in danger of not -

' progressing as postulated.

1.

Recording Times of Actions

a. For grading purposes, it will be assumsc inat onsite personnel have been aleriod when the plant alarm is sounded.

b. For calculating elapsed times, evaluators will be given the actual time the exercise is initiated. This will be T = 0 on all reports. All elapsed time calculations will be 4

based on this time, regardless of when the separate evaluated activities are initiated.

c. An emergency facility or other activity will be deemed to be in service when its personnel accountability check is completed and reported or when a formal 4

declaration of turnover of command has been accomplished.

I

'd. The " Chronological Events Summary" should be the primary evaluation record.

2.

Evaluation Standards

a. Excellent: Personnel and equipment always functioned without error the first time, every time. There were no problems encountered, and all personnel and equipment functioned at a level much greater than could be anticipated.

b. Good: Personnel and equipment generally performed better than expectations.

Any errors or problems were minor,. and easily correctable,

c. Satisfactory: Personnel and/or equipment performed according to expectations, with some minor exceptions. Any errors noted were not severe and could be corrected without undue labor and/or expense,

d. Poor: Personnel and/or equipment generally performed below expectations and/or there were several significant deficiencies noted. The area's ability to carry out its mission was diminished.-

L

e. Fall: Personnel and/or equipment consistently failed to perform as required and/or-there were serious deficiencies noted which severely impaired the ability of the area to carry out its mission.
