Schedulina of P11 aria Nuclear Power Station 1990 Emeraency Prenaredness Exercise

Dear Sir:

Boston Edison plans to conduct its annual exercise during the week of June 18, 1990. As defined in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2, this year's exercise will be a " partial participation exercise" with limited participation by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In keeping with Mr. Lazarus' letter of June 9, 1989, " Emergency Exercise Objective and Scenario Guidelines", two copies of the proposed scope and objectives are attached for your review. -Also included for your review is the proposed meeting and briefing schedule for controllers and participants.

These attachments are submitted in accordance with FEMA's Guidance Memorandum EX-3 dated February 26, 1988, which stipulates that the exercise objectives be submitted at least 90 days in advance of the exercise. The objectives-include demonstration where appropriate, of corrective actions taken in regard _ to problem areas which have been previously identified during NRC inspections, emergency exercises and drills.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Stephen Hook, Onsite Emergency Preparedness Section Manager, 59 Industrial Park Road, Plymouth, MA 02360. Mr. Hook's telephone number is (508) 747-9463.

Enclosure 1 PROPOSED SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES BOSTON EDISON COMPANY PILGRIM NUCLEAR P0HER STATION ANNUAL EXERCISE 90-04-B 2.0 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES 2.1 EXERCISE SCOPE

  • The 1990 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency i

Preparedness Exercise, to be conducted on June 21, 1990 will

  • test and provide the opportunity to evaluate the Boston Edison '

Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. It will also test the emergency response. organization's ability to assess, classify and respond to emergency conditions and take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of the >

public. In most cases, participants in this exercise vary from those who participated in October 1989. The exercise will involve activation of the Boston Edison Corporate Radiological Emergency Plan (CREP).

  • The scenario will simulate a sequence of events resulting in a radiological accident. The scenario has been developed to provide a more realistic sequence of events allowing for maximum " free play" and decision making on the part of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization (ERO).
  • The Exercise will limit the events that test the effectiveness of the integrated capabilities of Boston Edison's Emergency Response Organization with the Commonwealth and local governments to protective action decision making related to emergency action levels and communication capabilities.
  • The exercise will also incorporate the Station's semi-annual health physics drill.

2.2 ONSITE OBJECTIVES A. Exercise Plannina

1. Conduct an exercise of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station l

Emergency Plan. (EP-AD-200, A.1).

2. Provide an opportunity for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the towns of Carver, Duxbury, Kingston, Marshfield, Plymouth, Bridgewater, and the City of Taunton to partially participate in an exercise. (EP-AD-200, A.2).
