Exercise termination is expected to take place at approximately 1400 on May 9, 1995.The intent of the exercise is to demonstrate that these various emergency response organizations (EROs)are adequately trained to implement their corresponding emergency plans and procedures from their respective emergency'response facilities (ERFs)..It will also serve to demonstrate their ability.to effectively:coordinate their'.activities.
Inaccordance withthescheduleprescribed bytheNuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC)andtheFederalEmergency Management Agency(FEMA),the1995emergency exercisewillbeconducted asadayshiftexercise.
This scenario has been designed to provide ample opportunity for all participating organizations to meet their objectives.
Exerciseeventswillbeginatapproximately 0800onMay9,1995initiating themobilization ofCookNuclearPlant,AmericanElectricPowerNuclearOrganization (AEPNO),andIndianaMichiganPowerCompany(I&M)personnel.
It progesses through all four emergency classifications in such a way that sufficient time is spent at each classification.to allow objective-related decision making and actions to take place and for an effective turnover to take place at the EOF.However,~.'hrough innovations in the use.of simulator software, exercise participants will be challenged when they witness unprecedented higli in-plant radiation levels and attempt to determine the cause.EOF and onsite exercise activities will be observed and evaluated by American Electric Power Nuclear Operations, Cook Nuclear Plant, and NRC personnel; Offsite activities will be observed and evaluated by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)personnel.

A critique will be conducted by ERO personnel and the NRC following the exercise to identify any deficiencies and evaluate the correction of past deficiencies, if any.Such deficiencies will be documented with subsequent resolution being the responsibility of the Plant~~ERE-95 1-1 INTRODUCTION CONTINUED and AEPNO Emergency Planning Coordinators.
Thisscenariohasbeendesignedtoprovideampleopportunity forallparticipating organizations tomeettheirobjectives.
Likewise, a public critique of offsite agency activities will be conducted by FEMA and the correction of deficiencies, if any, will be the responsibility of the State of Michigan and the County of Berrien.This manual has been prepared to assist exercise Controllers and Observers in the conduct and evaluation of the exercise.This manual contains all information and data necessary to conduct the exercise in a coordinated and efficient manner in the event the simulator becomes unusable.Although the use of the simulator will provide the opportunity for more free-play, it is important to remember that the timeline in Section Vl may not track with the exercise activities as closely as it has with the more artificial, closely controlled timelines used in past exercises.

H.Controller ObserverGuidelines Controllers andObservers areutilizedinthisexercisetoprovideexerciseinformation totheparticipants andtoobserveplayersresponse.
H.Controller Observer Guidelines Controllers and Observers are utilized in this exercise to provide exercise information to the participants and to observe players response.In doing so, the Controllers and Observers should allow players to make, and correct, their own mistakes, while the Controller or Observer identifies the items to improve Plant emergency response capability.
Indoingso,theControllers andObservers shouldallowplayerstomake,andcorrect,theirownmistakes, whiletheController orObserveridentifies theitemstoimprovePlantemergency responsecapability.
-However, situations may arise where complete freedom of player response and success of the overall exercise are conflicting objectives.
-However,situations mayarisewherecompletefreedomofplayerresponseandsuccessoftheoverallexerciseareconflicting objectives.
In such cases, the Controller or Observer must ensure proper continuity of the scenario, while identifying problem areas in sufficient detail to allow corrections.
Insuchcases,theController orObservermustensurepropercontinuity ofthescenario, whileidentifying problemareasinsufficient detailtoallowcorrections.

~C~, l' 0 l (o I I DONALD C.COOK NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY RESPONSE EXERCISE INTRODUCTION In the interest of verifying that the health and safety of Plant staff, Plant visitors and the general public are protected in the event of an accident at the Cook Nuclear Plant, the Indiana Michigan Power Company conducts an annual emergency response exercise.In accordance with the schedule prescribed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the 1995 emergency exercise will be conducted as a day shift exercise.Exercise events will begin at approximately 0800 on May 9, 1995 initiating the mobilization of Cook Nuclear Plant, American Electric Power Nuclear Organization (AEPNO), and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M)personnel.

Exercise termination is expected to take place at approximately 1400 on May 9, 1995.The intent of the exercise is to demonstrate that these various emergency response organizations (EROs)are adequately trained to implement their corresponding emergency plans and procedures from their respective emergency'response facilities (ERFs)..It will also serve to demonstrate their ability.to effectively:coordinate their'.activities.

This scenario has been designed to provide ample opportunity for all participating organizations to meet their objectives.

It progesses through all four emergency classifications in such a way that sufficient time is spent at each classification.to allow objective-related decision making and actions to take place and for an effective turnover to take place at the EOF.However,~.'hrough innovations in the use.of simulator software, exercise participants will be challenged when they witness unprecedented higli in-plant radiation levels and attempt to determine the cause.EOF and onsite exercise activities will be observed and evaluated by American Electric Power Nuclear Operations, Cook Nuclear Plant, and NRC personnel; Offsite activities will be observed and evaluated by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)personnel.

A critique will be conducted by ERO personnel and the NRC following the exercise to identify any deficiencies and evaluate the correction of past deficiencies, if any.Such deficiencies will be documented with subsequent resolution being the responsibility of the Plant~~ERE-95 1-1 INTRODUCTION CONTINUED and AEPNO Emergency Planning Coordinators.

Likewise, a public critique of offsite agency activities will be conducted by FEMA and the correction of deficiencies, if any, will be the responsibility of the State of Michigan and the County of Berrien.This manual has been prepared to assist exercise Controllers and Observers in the conduct and evaluation of the exercise.This manual contains all information and data necessary to conduct the exercise in a coordinated and efficient manner in the event the simulator becomes unusable.Although the use of the simulator will provide the opportunity for more free-play, it is important to remember that the timeline in Section Vl may not track with the exercise activities as closely as it has with the more artificial, closely controlled timelines used in past exercises.

I~COOK NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY RESPONSE EXERCISE III.CONDUCT OF THE EXERCISE A.EXERCISE PLAYER INFORMATION This exercise is intended to satisfy the requirements for an annual emergency response exercise to demonstrate the readiness of the Plant to respond to an abnormal Plant condition.

The following information should be understood by all players prior to initiation of the exercise.2.It should be understood that the circumstances simulated for this exercise are unrealistic in certain aspects, which should not be construed as flaws in the scenario.Moreover, it is due to the reliable design and construction of nuclear power facilities that require unrealistic assumptions to be made in order to generate conditions that will affect the general public.Thus, in order to obtain a sequence of events that will result in a significant radiological hazard to the general public, the exercise scenario'ust contain an incredible Plant condition, an unlikely series of equipment failures, or an improbable sequence of events coupled with equipment failure.P The purpose of the exercise is to demonstrate actual integrated emergency response capabilities, including the use of emergency equipment and facilities.

Personnel knowledge and familiarity with the Emergency Plan and Procedures are the primary aspect of the evaluation.

Demonstration of detailed knowledge of plant systems, equipment and operation is of secondary importance for.purposes of this evaluation..

Although knowledge of the plant.is not being evaluated, system evaluations should not be eliminated from discussions during the exercise since this contributes to the realism of the response.3.All emergency communications that relate to the exercise shall be identified as part of the drill.Verbal communications should be initiated and closed by the statement,"THIS IS A DRILL".Exercise extreme care to ensure that individuals who may overhear or observe exercise activities are not misled into believing that.an actual emergency exists..~~~~J ERE-95 3-1 III.CONDUCT OF THE EXERCISE (CONTINUED) 4.Mani ulation of an lant o er p y p p ating system, valves, breakers or controls in response to this exercise are to be simulated.

There is to be no alteration of plant equipment, systems or circuits in response to this exercise.5.Any motor vehicle response to this exercise, whether it be ambulance, fire fighting equipment, security or field monitoring vehicle should observe all normal motor vehicle operating laws including posted speed limits;stop lights/signs, one-way streets, etc.6.Should any on-site security actions be required in response to this exercise, exercise participants are to cooperate as directed, and security representatives are to be prudent and tolerant in their actions.7.Participants should inject as much realism into the exercise as is compatible with the safe performance of the exercise.8.Play out all actions, as much as possible, in accordance with the Emergency Plan Procedures.

Unless specifically instructed by the controller, you should not simulate your actions.If instructed to simulate an ectivity, tell the observer/controller how.and when you would actually perform the activity.'.

~'.10.Periodically speak out loud, verbalizing your key actions and decisions to the controller and federal evaluator.

This may seem artificial, but it will assist in the evaluation process and is to your benefit.7 If ever in doubt, ask your controller for clarification.

The controller.

will not provide prompting.

or coaching information.

Periodically the controller may issue messages or instructions designed to initiate response actions.You must accept these messages immediately.

12.You must not accept any messages or instructions from federal evaluators.

If they desire to initiate some action, they must work through the controller.

ERE-95~3-2 III.CONDUCT OF THE EXERCISE (CONTINUED) 13.If entering radiologically controlled areas, observe all rules and procedures governing access and egress.Do not enter high radiation areas for purpose of exercise response.Follow normal ALARA principles and guidelines.

14.Utilize status boards, log books, three-part message forms, etc., as much as possible to document and record your actions, instructions and reports to co-players.

IV.CONTROLLERS OBSERVERS INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

H.Controller Observer Guidelines Controllers and Observers are utilized in this exercise to provide exercise information to the participants and to observe players response.In doing so, the Controllers and Observers should allow players to make, and correct, their own mistakes, while the Controller or Observer identifies the items to improve Plant emergency response capability.

-However, situations may arise where complete freedom of player response and success of the overall exercise are conflicting objectives.

In such cases, the Controller or Observer must ensure proper continuity of the scenario, while identifying problem areas in sufficient detail to allow corrections.

Generally, the following rules apply to control of the exercise: 1.'Keep the reaction and emergency response going according to the time element established in the scenario.2.Provide command messages to key personnel as a mechanism to prevent deviation from the scenario.3.Observe player procedural discipline.

4.Provide prepared input data to players to stimulate response actiohs..5, Observe and critique the participants actions, procedure effectiveness, equipment capability'nd general emergency response.Exercise Controller Observer Instruc ions'1.Each Controller/Observer shall par'ticipate in exercise briefings and'ritiques scheduled as follows:~Exercise Walkthrough

The simulated events will begin at approximately 0815 with.an anonymous phone call to the plant saying tha't several bombs have been placed on the plant site and are expected to explode at any time.This news generates an UNUSUAL EVENT declaration due to the potential security compromise.

Notification to the County, State and the NRC is immediately made.Approximately one half hour later, a simulated bomb explosion in the sand dune east of the waste water(sewage) treatment plant destroys a power pole and disables the.offsite emergency power.supply to the plant;This immediately

'affects the North R South Security Posts, the Training Building and the-Energy Information Center (Visitor Center/Emergency News Center).Within minutes, an ALERT is declared because of the damage to offsite power supplies that could affect plant operation, or ongoing security compromise in the judgement of the SS and/or SSS.Again all appropriate.

A SITE AREA EMERGENCY is declared due to the loss of fission product barriers and Phase B initiation.

Subsequent to that a dose assessment calculation using the containment high range radiation readings and the default containment leakage of 3 CFM is made indicating conditions exist for a GENERAL EMERGENCY.

This is due to dose calculated at the site boundary.This generates the initial Protective Action Recommendation(PAR) which is transmitted to the State.About a half hour later a containment pressure relief damper opens causing a large radiation release.A second PAR is made to the State.At about 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br /> the pressure relief dampers drifts closed terminating the release via this pathway.At this time the scenario will make a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time jump to allow recovery operations to continue.Timeline: REAL TIME 0800 0815 0820 0835 0855 SCENARIO TIME 00.00 00 15 00:20 00:35 00.55 EVENT/CONDITION Exercise begins A bomb threat is called into the plant and is recieved by Plant Protection, stating that multiple bombs have been placed around the plant site.The Shift Security Supervisor(SSS) contacts the Ops Shift Supervisor(SS) and relays this information
