University of Virginia Emergency Preparedness Exercise Scenario Nuclear Reactor Facility for 8 November 1995 Scope and Objectives The 1995 Emergency Exercise for the University of Virginia Nuclear Reactor Facility is '

scheduled for 8 November, starting at approximately 0900 and running 1 to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

. The scenario encompasses the facility response to an unexpected earthquake and a subsequent minor pool leak contaminating a person with a broken leg. The immediate situation is to be an unannounced earthquake. There is to be no outside agency involvement, with the exception of receiving the initial Unusual Event Notification.

The injured person will have a broken leg and be in a position to be contaminated by leaking pool water. The injury is will occur during the earthquake and prior to building evacuation. A building search and injury treatment while evacuation and personnel accountability procedures are in progress is expected. The scenario will encompass treatment up through placement of the contaminated-injured person onto the backboard and movement into the evacuation area to await the rescue squad.

The exercise will terminate after determining the location of the pool leak, start of reactor pool make-up and corrective actions, and upon completion of the movement of the contaminated-injured person into the evacuation area.

The response team may request precautionary assistance from the Fire Department, this aid, j

, and any other) will be simulated. j All initial and closcout communications. will be made (ie. no simulations). Follow-up l requests for assistance, notifications etc. will be simulated. )

Contamination Specifications:

l Victim is contaminated about the back, feet and legs from a pool (primary water) leak. ,

Isotope Na 24 from pool water. No radiation levels above background, very minor  !

contamination.

The Objectives of this exercise are:

1. To test the emergency assessment, job familiarity, and decision making of facility personnel.

2. To test the UVA Nuclear Reactor Facility communications system, and information transmitting ability of personnel.

3. To test the contamination control abilities of the staff.

4. To test the adequacy of timing and content of the implementing procedures and methods, and emergency equipment.
