DEVELOPMENT AND CONDUCT OF EXERCISES 1.1 Introduction

Section 3

Emergency management exercises are evaluated demonstrations of the integrated capabilities of emergency response resources (personnel, procedures, facilities, and equipment) conducted for the purpose of validating elements of an emergency management program. Exercises should be realistic simulations of emergencies to include command, control, and communication functions and event-scene activities. They may vary significantly in size and complexity to achieve their respective purposes. Exercise-specific objectives are used to establish the exercise scope, specify the emergency response functions to be demonstrated, identify the extent of organization/personnel participation, and identify the breadth and depth of exercise activities to be accomplished or simulated. Typically, not all emergency management program elements are demonstrated in each exercise and a systematic approach should be used, with emphasis on participation and coordination among the emergency response organizations, to demonstrate aggregate response capabilities over a period of years (e.g., four to six). The guidance in this chapter is applicable to all exercises throughout the DOE complex - at the facility, site, operations/field office, and Headquarters Element levels for DOE Federal and contractor organizations, including the Radiological Emergency Response Assets and Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program. The guidance adheres to the DOE “commensurate with hazards” approach to emergency management. Guidance is provided for facilities/activities with varying types and levels of hazards and with differing organization structure/complexity. The “functional” aspects of exercises are addressed (i.e., what, when, and how), but not the roles and responsibilities of specific organizations or individuals (i.e., the who). The consolidation of DOE 5500-series Orders into DOE O 151.1 resulted in minimal change to exercise requirements for facilities/activities subject to the Operational Emergency Hazardous Materials Program. Requirements pertaining to exercise periodicity and extent of offsite organization participation were clarified. The Operational Emergency Base Program introduced in DOE O 151.1 establishes a minimum level of emergency management for facilities/activities without significant quantities of hazardous materials. Drills are clarified to be “hands-on” training evolutions. Guidance related to drills is addressed in Volume V, Chapter 4. External (non-DOE) emergency management requirements may use the terminology drills rather than the term exercise. Readers are CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-2 cautioned that external requirements and interpretations for drills may overlap DOE’s current definition and requirements for exercises. Such overlap may be a source of confusion and/or misinterpretation of external requirements. This chapter discusses the development and implementation of an exercise program, including program planning, management, and documentation. It provides guidance on the design and development of an exercise; including scheduling, work planning, and determining objectives; and the production of an exercise package. Conduct and evaluation of exercises are also described; examples of a scenario package are provided in the appendices.

Section 4

Base Program. The Order states that, at a minimum, each Base Program site/facility is to conduct building evacuation exercises consistent with Federal regulations, local ordinances, or National Fire Protection Association Standards. Exercises are to be conducted as often as needed to ensure that employees are able to safely evacuate their work area. The organizations responsible for communications with DOE Headquarters, Operations/Field Offices, and offsite agencies, are to test communications systems at least annually or as often as needed to ensure that communications systems are operational. The minimum requirements for site and facility exercises associated with Operational Emergency Base Programs are limited to activities such as building evacuations and communications systems testing. Exercises in this context are correspondingly much more limited in scope than exercises related to hazardous materials. Therefore, this chapter on exercises would exceed the scope of any exercises at a minimal Base Program site/facility. For a more extensive Base Program, this chapter would be applicable for developing and conducting exercises. As with all emergency response exercises, a systematic approach should be applied for exercises associated with the Base Program, using the principles and general approach applicable to hazardous materials exercises. 1.2 Exercise Program An exercise program should validate the elements of the organization’s Emergency Management Program over a multi-year period. The program should provide a continuing series of periodic exercises to evaluate emergency response capabilities and ensure that members of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) are prepared to respond appropriately to an actual emergency. Specifically, an exercise program should provide the following. ! Management and administration of the exercise planning process. ! Conduct and evaluation of exercises. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-3 ! An evaluation process to ensure that corrective actions are identified and implemented. 1.2.1 Participation and Frequency Facility Level. Each facility with quantities of hazardous materials exceeding threshold quantities, threshold planning quantities, and/or quantities of radionuclides should participate in an exercise annually. The exercise may involve a single facility, or if several facilities are in reasonably close proximity, the exercise may include those facilities. Each facility should participate in an exercise annually, but not necessarily host it. Exercise participation should include evaluation and critique at the facility level. Facility exercises should be periodically subject to “external” Departmental evaluation; that is, evaluation by a DOE organization outside the immediate facility organization. Departmental elements with oversight responsibilities (both operations/field offices and Headquarters elements) should coordinate external evaluations so that they are conducted at least every 3 years. Site Level. Consistent with the facility-level requirement, site-level response personnel and resources should participate in a minimum of one exercise annually. For sites with multiple facilities, exercises should periodically include joint participation by facility-level and site-level emergency response personnel and resources to demonstrate their integration. Site-level participation should be rotated among the facilities so that every facility participates with site-level personnel and resources once every several (e.g., 3) years. (Site-level participation may include a single facility or several facilities for a specific annual exercise.) For sites with a single facility, it is assumed that facility-level and site-level response personnel and resources are inherently integrated and participate annually in the facility exercise.

Section 5

Each Departmental Field Element (e.g., Site Office, Area Office, Field Office, Operations Office) should participate in a minimum of one exercise annually. The exercise should include joint participation by facility-level, site-level, and Field Element-level emergency response personnel and resources. For Field Elements with multiple-site responsibilities, Field Element participation is rotated among the sites so that each site participates with the Field Element every several (e.g., 3) years. Pursuant to its functions and responsibilities, the Office of Emergency Management periodically evaluates site-level exercises. If an evaluated exercise is determined to be of sufficient overall quality, as decided by the Office of Emergency Management in agreement with the respective Operations/Field Office, the requirement for a site-level exercise in the following year may be waived. The waiver will be announced in the evaluation report. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-4 Radiological Emergency Response Assets. The Department's radiological emergency response assets (i.e., Accident Response Group (ARG), Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST), Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC), Aerial Measurement System (AMS), Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC), Radiological Emergency Assistance Capability /Training Site (REAC/TS), and Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) should be included as response participants in an exercise at least every 3 years. The exercises should provide for a realistic application of the assets and include the majority of the resources associated with the assets. The assets are generally involved in exercises where the “lead” for exercise planning rests with another organization. The exercises are often an interagency exercise or may be in concert with a DOE facility/site. Exercise participation by the assets is the responsibility of the cognizant programmatic offices at Headquarters or the field. For RAP, the resources under the cognizance of each Operations/Field Office should participate in an exercise every 3 years. Offsite Organizations. Federal, tribal, state, local, and private organizations that support the site/facility’s response capability and/or may be affected by a facility emergency should be invited to participate in exercises at least every 3 years. 1.2.2 Program Management Operations/field offices and contractors at the site/facility level should establish and maintain an “exercise program” closely coupled with training and drills. Each operations/field office and contractor should manage the exercise program within the Emergency Management Program. They should recognize that the management of exercises requires extensive planning, coordination, and interaction both internal and external to the organization. A successfully managed exercise program should address the following. ! Overall planning, preparation, conduct, control, and evaluation of exercises and the implementation of applicable corrective actions and improvements. ! Planning and scheduling long-range activities for future exercises, the current year’s exercise, and incorporation of lessons learned from previous exercises. ! Development of comprehensive exercise objectives based upon legislative, regulatory, and Order requirements; organization-specific hazards assessments; emergency plans, procedures, and agreement/understanding documents; and lessons learned from past exercises and actual events.

Section 6

CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-5 ! Development of exercises commensurate with, and based upon, the site/facility hazards and types of scenarios identified in the hazards assessments. ! Application of sufficient resources to the exercise program. ! Assignment of roles and responsibilities for all aspects of the exercise development, conduct, and evaluation process. ! Implementation of corrective actions and improvements. The use of an “exercise objective matrix” is recommended as a tool to facilitate administration of the exercise program. The matrix should identify all programmatic exercise objectives and correlate with facility/site-specific hazards and the specific objectives to be demonstrated in individual exercises. The matrix should support/document validation of Emergency Management Program elements over a multi- year period. An example exercise objective matrix is provided in Table 1.1. For large organizations and/or sites/facilities with complex hazards, compilation of exercise objectives into a data base may be useful. Such a data base should include all objectives required to be demonstrated on a periodic basis. Each exercise will not call for demonstration of every objective contained in the data base. The objectives for a particular exercise should be a subset taken from this data base, supplemented, if required, with additional objectives unique to the exercise. The data base format facilitates assurance that objectives are accomplished within the required period. Table 1.1. Exercise Objective Matrix.

The formality of the plan should correlate with the scope and complexity of the organization’s exercise program and should be commensurate with program plans for similar-scope activities (e.g., emergency training). The plan should describe the organization’s exercise planning process, preparations, conduct, control, evaluation, critique, follow-up reporting, and corrective action implementation. The exercise program plan should include identification of resources; roles and responsibilities of cognizant personnel; identification of the comprehensive exercise objectives (objectives matrix if applicable); long-range and short- term planning activities and milestones; and exercise schedules. The program plan should include a long- and short-range component. ! A long-range plan (e.g., 5-year plan) should be prepared and maintained as part of the Emergency Readiness Assurance Plan (ERAP.) The long-range plan should be developed in concert with the various organizations affected by its provisions. The long-range plan should include the general schedule, scope, and objectives of the exercise over the multi-year period. It should provide for demonstrating all aspects of the emergency program in a logical manner.

Section 7

! A short-range plan should address fiscal-year planning. It should include the scope, exercise objectives, participants, and schedule for the major tasks and activities associated with the current year’s exercise(s). Planning and scheduling for a specific exercise includes confirming or modifying the planned scope, developing detailed objectives, committing the participants and resources, and identifying and scheduling the various activities. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-7 1.2.4 Exercise Program Organization Each organization should identify a single individual who is responsible for the exercise program. Depending on the organization’s size and the scope/complexity of the exercise program, these responsibilities may be the primary or the collateral duties of the individual. Responsibilities include the authority or capability to commit and coordinate the resources necessary for an effective exercise program. Depending on the program’s scope/complexity, the exercise program functions may be performed by the designated individual or by a planning group. The functions should include the following. ! Resolving conflicts identified during the exercise scheduling process. ! Concurring on the scope of each exercise. ! Committing organizational resources for development, conduct, response, and critique of an exercise. ! Monitoring potential programmatic impacts from the exercise development process as well as resolving any specific exercise development difficulties or conflicts. ! Coordination with the training and drill program to ensure that all participants have completed their required fundamental emergency management training (not specific to an exercise) prior to a scheduled exercise. 1.3 Exercise Design and Development 1.3.1 Planning and Scheduling Planning and scheduling an exercise requires the involvement and cooperation of all participating organizations. A well-planned, -executed, and -documented exercise requires the coordination and cooperation of senior management, EROs, and when applicable, offsite response organizations. Coordination with offsite authorities during the planning phase depends on the extent of their participation in the exercise. Their participation may range from the limited staffing of a control cell for the purpose of receiving notifications to the complete staffing and activation of all applicable response facilities and assets. Planning the exercise should allow adequate time for the effective preparation and review of the exercise package. The generic schedule in Table 1.2 is recommended.

Conduct responder and observer briefings. 1-2 Finalize exercise preparations. Post Exercise Conduct critiques. Post Exercise 15 Complete draft exercise evaluation report. Post Exercise 30 Finalize exercise evaluation report. Initiate corrective and improvement actions. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-9 Planning for exercises must be held in strict confidence to avoid compromise of the exercise materials. Scenario information should be strictly limited to those preparing, controlling, and evaluating the event. All of the exercise packages should be numbered, assigned, and held in strict confidence while under review to ensure accountability during the development and review period. Protection of data and scenario information prior to and during the event is vital to avoid compromise of the scenario. Occasionally, an exercise objective will require that a date and/or time be kept confidential. This information should be protected using the same standards as the exercise scenario. 1.3.2 Exercise Objectives The success of emergency exercises is largely dependent on the quality of the stated objectives. They provide a basis for developing a meaningful and challenging scenario, as well as a gauge to measure exercise performance. Considerations in developing exercise objectives should include the following. ! Exercise objectives need to be fully and carefully developed for all organizations prior to the start of scenario development. ! Each exercise objective should clearly state what is to be demonstrated by the responders. Examples of generic exercise objectives are provided in Chapter 2. The following factors should be considered. – Is the objective clearly stated? The objective should be specific, focus on the performance to be demonstrated, and be interpreted in the same manner by all participants. – Is the objective measurable? The performance addressed by the objective should have observable and measurable indicators; specific evaluation criteria should be developed by which to measure performance. ! The primary source of exercise objectives is the participating organization’s emergency plans and procedures. Other sources may include job-task analyses or performance-based indicators used to develop the organizational response structure, requirements, or training. 1.3.3 Planning Functions For each exercise, the following should be accomplished. ! Planning and scheduling. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-10 – Scope - The who, what, where, how, and why of the exercise. – Objectives - Specific, measurable performance indicators. – Participants - Who will plan the exercise and who will respond, control, and evaluate. – Safety - Guidance for all participants. – Security - Instructions on facility access, use of firearms, and classification issues. – Scenario - Mechanisms to ensure that objectives can be met. – Budget - What the exercise will cost to plan, conduct, and evaluate, and the financial obligations of participating organizations. – Logistical Support - Specific responsibilities for support activities. – Administrative Activities - Procurement, documentation, and reproduction responsibilities. ! Oversight of the exercise development process. ! Exercise control. ! Exercise evaluation and critique.

! Exercise evaluation report ! Implementation of corrective actions 1.3.4 Responsibilities and Organization Exercise planners are responsible for overall exercise planning, including preparation, conduct, control, evaluation, critique, report, and follow-up actions. Exercises may require either a small group of planners or a large, formalized planning structure. A single individual should be responsible for the overall design, development, control, and evaluation of the exercise. This person should be a senior-level individual, knowledgeable of the exercise process, with experience in scenario development and exercise control. This person may serve as the exercise director during the exercise. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-11 Exercise planning should involve representatives of each participating organization. For small scope exercises, one planner may represent several organizations. Planners may be formed into working groups. Depending on the scope and objectives of the exercise, there may be one working group made up of a representative from each organization participating in the exercise, or there may be several working groups, with each group having a particular function. Working group considerations are as follows. ! Working groups should be formed far enough in advance of the exercise to ensure adequate time for effective planning, preparation, and review of the exercise package. ! Group members may work independently or meet in subgroups to develop their respective parts of the scenario. ! Certain exercise objectives may require detailed technical or specialty areas of expertise for the development of scenarios, injects, and data. In these situations, a special working group can be formed. Typically, this expertise is in specific areas or disciplines such as reactor or process operations, health physics, medical, chemistry, safety engineering, or plume modeling. ! Members assigned to these groups should be familiar with emergency plans and procedures in their areas of technical expertise and be experienced in exercise development. ! Coordination with the emergency training program manager should occur in the exercise planning stage. This allows sufficient time before an exercise is conducted to satisfy any new management training or qualification requirements (not specific to an exercise). 1.4 Exercise Package 1.4.1 Development Development of an exercise package is an iterative process involving several steps as follows. ! Development of general guidelines by the exercise planning group. These guidelines should address issues of exercise scope and duration, participants, objectives, administrative and logistical considerations, and operational or technical constraints. ! Development of a scenario timeline. The timeline should be a listing of the sequence and timing of key operational, technical, and logistical events comprising the scenario. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-12 ! Subsequent steps to refine the timeline, develop detailed scenario information; prepare message injects (instructions to controllers) and data; and prepare control, evaluation, and supporting documentation. ! Final review of the package for overall completeness and accuracy, and to ensure that the responders are provided the opportunity to meet the exercise objectives.

Section 10

A unique scenario should be developed for each exercise to prevent responder anticipation of events and to ensure a valid test of the responders. The approved exercise package provides the cumulative documentation to conduct and evaluate the exercise. 1.4.2 Contents This section identifies the contents of the exercise package. Samples of each component are provided in Appendixes A through E. The exercise package contains all the documentation necessary to control and evaluate the exercise; however, the extent and detail of information will vary with the scope and complexity of the particular exercise. The format can be tailored by individual organizations but should include all the information outlined below. Scope. The scope identifies all participating organizations, the extent of participation, and the purpose of the exercise. Specific Objectives. Each exercise objective should clearly state what is to be demonstrated. Objectives should be attainable and measurable. Evaluation criteria should be developed to define how objectives will be measured by exercise evaluators. An example of generic exercise objectives is provided in Chapter 2 of this Volume. Scenario Narrative. The scenario narrative is a “storybook” summary of the background, initial conditions, initiating events, and expected responder actions. It contains descriptions of the simulated emergency situation, including the overall sequence of events, details, supporting data, and timing of activities. Design and Development Guidelines. This section describes any limitations placed on the design and development of the exercise, the exercise protocol, and a list of pre- approved simulations. ! Limitations are management policies and guidelines of concern to the exercise developers and scenario designers. They include issues such as conducting exercises on weekends, overtime restrictions or authorizations, and financial constraints. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-13 ! Protocols (ground rules or rules of conduct) remind responders of drillsmanship and safety issues. ! Pre-approved simulations list the major simulations applicable to the exercise. Examples include pre-determined meteorological data, response vehicle red lights, how road blocks will be simulated without interfering or disrupting public traffic patterns, use of water to simulate a chemical liquid hazardous materials spill, use of a smoke generator to simulate fire/smoke, use of protective equipment, simulated operation of systems/equipment, and photographs to simulate equipment damage. Safety Planning. The safety of personnel and the facility is paramount during exercises. The planning process and the management of exercises must ensure that sufficient precautions and limitations are established and followed for the safe conduct of the exercise. A person with the sole responsibility for ensuring safety during the exercise, such as an exercise safety director, should be appointed to the exercise planning group. During an exercise, all participants must comply with established safety rules and practices. Participants must understand that safety of exercise participants, non- participants, the public, and the environment is of the highest priority. An exercise safety plan is an effective method of documenting safety concerns and solutions. The plan should address generic and specific safety concerns, mitigative solutions, and required actions/notifications if a safety concern or emergency occurs during an exercise. Major elements of a generic exercise safety plan are listed in Appendix B.

Section 11

Security Planning. Adherence to security requirements throughout all phases of an exercise by all participants is a necessity. Planning and management of exercises should include provisions for participation of appropriate security personnel. Persons involved in exercise planning must be sensitive to information or activities that may have security implications. An exercise security plan is an effective method of documenting security concerns and solutions. The plan should address generic and specific security concerns, mitigative solutions, and required actions/notifications if a security problem or emergency occurs during the exercise. Major elements of a generic exercise security plan are listed in Appendix C. The plan should establish parameters for exercise design, development, and conduct in view of identified security issues. Controllers are responsible for conducting the exercise within security limitations; however, all participants must comply with security requirements. Special provisions should be made for visitors and observers since they may not be familiar with DOE or site security requirements. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-14 Public Information Education Planning. Scheduled exercises should be coordinated with the media and announced to the public. Interface with the public and offsite state, tribal, and local authorities requires management awareness and sensitivity. The public typically has no involvement or participation in an exercise. All exercises at a facility that have the potential to affect the offsite population, either directly or indirectly, should include adequate provisions to prevent public concern, rumor, or inconvenience. The planning process and the management of exercises should provide for the development of a public information/education plan to coordinate activities with appropriate offsite state, tribal, and local authorities, the media, and the public. This plan should be developed early in the planning process to ensure coordination with interested offsite authorities/officials. Major elements of a generic plan are listed in Appendix D. Timeline of Key Scenario Events. The exercise timeline should include key scenario events and expected responder actions, and where possible, scenario events and expected actions should be tied to the exercise objectives. Message Injects. Message injects include instructions to controllers to begin simulations, insert information, provide earned information, acting instructions, and contingency messages. They should be formatted/presented in such a manner as to reflect the actual data that would be observed by responders in a real event (e.g., strip charts, alarm printer output, use of accident mock-ups). Exercise Data. Data varies greatly depending on the scope of the exercise. Exercise data may include general and facility-specific, meteorological, hazardous material, and medical information. ! General facility information is important when non-facility personnel participate in the exercise. This information includes a facility description; area, site, and facility maps; mission description; Emergency Management Program information; and a description of offsite interfaces. ! Specific facility information provides operational data at the time of the event. These data may include diagrams, schematics, and data tables that will augment the scenario. ! Meteorological data provide weather conditions and forecasts, both real and simulated, as required.

Section 12

CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-15 ! Hazardous material data may include radiation or chemical plume plots and tables, decontamination levels, and exposure levels. The technical basis and assumptions used to develop this data should be provided. ! Medical information includes a description of medical conditions and moulage procedures, actor behavior instructions, and vital signs. Exercise Control. This section provides guidance for effectively controlling an exercise. ! The control organization is usually depicted on an organizational chart showing the categories of controllers and lines of communication. The categories of controllers include the lead controller, timeline coordinator, area controllers, on-scene controllers, the control or simulation cells, and actors. ! Controllers are assigned by name into each position listed in the control organization. The controller assignments should include alternates. ! The detailed controller instructions include a schedule of events for all controllers, basic controller instructions, and the detailed requirements for each controller assignment. The detailed requirements should include the message injects that the controller is responsible for inserting in the exercise, contingency message injects and the authorization process for their use, and special equipment required for the position. ! A special type of controller instructions, called profiles, can be used for actors to define roles. Profiles are normally used for media actors in either a control cell or for interviewing in person or for control cell actors representing political figures. (Profiles are generally only used with experienced controllers.) ! The Master Scenario Events List (MSEL) identifies the timing and summary content of all key events, messages, or injects; contingency messages; and expected responder actions for the duration of the exercise. ! The suspension, or termination, of the exercise is managed through the control organization. Responders are instructed to contact a controller when an unsafe condition exists or when a real emergency is identified. This section details the notification of the control organization, instructions for exercise suspension and re- start, and for exercise termination. Exercise Evaluation. This section provides the information to effectively evaluate an exercise as follows. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-16 ! The evaluator organization is usually depicted by an organizational chart and a description of the categories of evaluators and lines of communication. The categories of evaluators include the lead evaluator, lead area evaluators, and evaluators. ! Evaluators and alternates are assigned by name and listed in the evaluator organization. ! The evaluation criteria provides the standards and activity-specific criteria used to evaluate the exercise. ! Evaluator modules and/or checklists display the expected response in a time- sequenced format with which the evaluator can monitor responder progress. They are based on the exercise objectives, the evaluation criteria, and the participating organization's plans and procedures. Administration and Logistics. Planning includes the following. ! The master schedule should address all the preparation activities, conduct of the exercise, the critique process, and the evaluation report.

Section 13

! The method to identify exercise participants and, if necessary, various non- participants, should be documented in this section. Participants can be identified by vests, hats, or arm bands of various colors. Ensure that the type of participant is printed on the identification method to assist those with color-impaired vision. ! The communications plan documents radio and telephone requirements. It provides for radio frequencies, protocol, telephone numbers, and directories. Additionally, it provides information concerning controller communications, training, and systems testing. Normally the following exercise telephone (communications) directories are prepared. – Control Cell Directory provided to responders, which lists the control cell telephone numbers of controllers simulating individuals or organizations. – Controller/Evaluator Directory, which includes telephone and radio channels/frequencies used for communication within the control and evaluation organizations. – Responder Directory is provided to control cell controllers and lists the telephone numbers of responders who may need to be contacted by the control cell. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-17 ! The logistics plan specifies tasks to accomplish in support of the exercise preparation, conduct, and evaluation. This includes notification of controllers, obtaining meeting rooms and classrooms, identifying and setting up the control cell, communications requirements, meals, transportation, facility security badging/access, and acquiring/staging props (e.g., moulage dummies, smoke generators, damaged equipment, simulated material). A generic logistics plan is located in Appendix E. Glossary of Acronyms. This glossary contains acronyms and definitions of a facility- and site-specific nature. It is used by personnel who are not familiar with the facility ERO, operations, and site organization. 1.5 Conduct and Evaluation 1.5.1 Preparation Pre-exercise activities include participant briefings, configuring props or staging equipment, establishing controller and evaluator communications, specifying safety and security precautions, making arrangements to feed participants, and making arrangements for minimizing the impact on non-participants and ongoing operations. Controller and Evaluator Training. ! Generic training should be developed and conducted for individuals participating as controllers and evaluators in an exercise. This training should include both initial training and a periodic refresher prior to each exercise. Generic information on exercise control and evaluation is provided in Chapter 3 of this Volume. – The initial training should be conducted by an individual experienced in the control and evaluation of exercises. It should include a classroom-type presentation and discussions of correct controller/evaluator performance in various exercise circumstances. – The classroom-type presentation should address all aspects of an exercise and include such topics as objectives, safety, participants, realism, simulation, free play, contingency messages, prompting, and evaluator and controller-responder interface. Discussions should provide examples of circumstances that may occur during an exercise with proper controller actions. Emphasis should be placed on the criteria for controllers to intercede in responder actions and suspend or terminate the exercise. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-18

Section 14

! Exercise-Specific Controller and Evaluator Training. Just prior to the exercise, all controllers and evaluators must receive a briefing on the scenario and training in the specific duties they are to perform. This training may include a presentation on the various plans and procedures that the responders are expected to use. – Controller briefings should cover the entire scenario and anticipated responder actions, the location and assignments of each controller (including actors), communications arrangements, administrative and logistical details, an in-depth presentation of safety and security issues, and an in-depth discussion of each controller's specific assignments. The details for controlling complex or sensitive parts of the exercise should be presented in the briefing. A tour of locations and associated equipment involved in the exercise should be performed as part of the briefing. – All participants (players, controllers, and evaluators) should be reminded of their responsibility to prevent unsafe acts and to stop the exercise, if necessary, to ensure an unsafe act does not occur. – Evaluators may participate in the controller briefings to preclude the need to prepare and conduct separate training. Responder and Observer Briefings ! The responder briefing shall not include any information related to the scenario. Responders shall be briefed regarding the rules of conduct; scope of the exercise; safety and security precautions; approved simulations; methods for identifying various exercise participants; and any special administrative, logistical, or communications arrangements in effect during the exercise. ! All participants (players, controllers, and evaluators) should be reminded of their responsibility to prevent unsafe acts and to stop the exercise, if necessary, to ensure an unsafe act does not occur. ! The observer briefing should occur prior to the exercise to ensure compliance with safety and security precautions and other rules of conduct. Observers may attend the controller briefing or may be provided separate briefings. Exercise Setup. Exercise setup includes setting up simulations, preparation of scenes and visual areas (e.g., smoke generators, simulated spills, actor moulage, etc.), preforming controller communications checks, conducting responder initial conditions briefings, synchronizing clocks, initializing computer simulation data, and other scenario-specific CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-19 activities. Exercise setup should be carefully planned to ensure that all logistics necessary to conduct the exercise are checked before the exercise begins. 1.5.2 Conducting the Exercise Participants ! Exercise Director. During the exercise, the exercise director is responsible for the following. – Safe Conduct – Coordination and continuity – Providing the opportunity to meet exercise objectives – Commencing, suspending and terminating the exercise ! Controllers. Controllers provide overall direction and control of the exercise. They are primarily responsible for ensuring the continuity of the scenario and maintaining safety and security precautions. Controllers should do the following. – Review appropriate emergency response plans, procedures, and checklists prior to the exercise. – Review the safety, security, communications, and logistical plans included in the exercise package. – Attend required training and briefing sessions.

Section 15

– Facilitate the conduct of the exercise by providing scenario information to responders. – Allow freedom of responder decisions and actions (i.e., free play) to demonstrate exercise objectives and response capabilities. – Inject approved contingency messages or provide instructions, as needed, to keep the exercise on track with the scenario. – Preclude responder decisions and control actions that may compromise the safety or security of the facility, personnel, or equipment. – Refrain from prompting, in any fashion, the decisions or actions of responders. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-20 – Prevent the observers and evaluators from having any interaction with responders. Note: If evaluators have questions relevant to responder actions or performance, the controllers should respond to the questions or allow evaluators to directly question the responders at an appropriate time. – Be prepared to suspend exercise activities in the immediate area and to use pre- arranged protocols to terminate an exercise. ! Evaluators. An evaluator’s only function during the exercise is to observe and document the responder actions. The formal evaluation is performed after the exercise is terminated. Evaluators should be assigned specific locations or specific exercise functions. Evaluators should do the following. – Review appropriate emergency response plans, procedures, and checklists prior to the exercise. – Review appropriate plans (e.g., safety, security, communications, and logistical plans) developed for conduct of the exercise. – Attend required training and briefing sessions. – Observe the performance of responders during the exercise and document their actions using their evaluator modules or checklists. – Observe the performance of the control organization in controlling and directing the exercise. – Refrain from interfacing with responders to prevent interrupting or prompting. – Evaluate responder performance and the adequacy of procedures, facilities, and equipment based on exercise-specific evaluation criteria and evaluator checklists. – Document errors and problem areas in the scenario or conduct of the exercise. – Present their evaluations and recommendations in a formal critique. ! Observers. Observers should not interfere with or become involved in any exercise activity, nor should they contribute information or opinions to responders in any fashion. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-21 ! Responders. Responders comprise the majority of participants. In addition to site DOE and contractor emergency response personnel, responders may include personnel from DOE Headquarters, Field Elements, and various other DOE elements; Federal agencies; state, tribal, local, and private organizations; and the media. ! Non-Participants. Non-participants are personnel outside the scope of play who will continue to perform their normal, routine duties as though the exercise is not in progress. Such routines include activities necessary for continued safe operation of the facility. Efforts should be made to minimize the impact of the exercise on the non- participants and to avoid the interface between responders and those individuals. Conduct ! Confidentiality. Scenario information should be closely guarded and not discussed with potential responders. Guidelines for maintaining exercise confidentiality include the following.

Section 16

– Controllers/evaluators should be careful of what they say and to whom because they may be overheard, including radio net communications. – Controllers/evaluators should be careful when positioning themselves to observe an activity to ensure they do not give away information by their actions. – Controllers/evaluators should take care that no one can see their scenario notebooks or comments. They should never lay their scenarios, notes, or messages in a location where responders can read them. ! Simulation and Realism. Realism should be emphasized throughout any exercise. – Exercises should be managed so that they are as realistic as possible. Commensurate with the safety of personnel and the safety and security of the facility, exercises should attempt to duplicate the sense of stress inherent in a real emergency situation. – Exercise responders should receive scenario information only as it is earned. – Simulation should be kept to a minimum. During the responder briefings, responders should be briefed on which functions/ activities are simulated. – A control cell should be used whenever it is necessary for responders to interact with entities not participating in the exercise. It is located away from the CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-22 responders and is staffed by experienced professionals who simulate or role-play non-participating organizations. This method of simulation enables realistic interactions to occur between the exercise responders and those they would expect to interact with during the course of an actual response. – Actors/role-players should be used to simulate personnel who would actually be encountered by responders if the scenario were real. Actors may come in face-to-face contact with the responders or may be members of a control cell. – Responders should implement their appropriate plans, procedures, and training to respond as if the scenario information is real. Responders should rely upon the controllers or exercise simulation tools to supply scenario information. ! Presentation of Scenario Information. Data and evidence should be presented to the responders as it would be found, measured, or indicated, with a maximum degree of realism. – Information should be provided to responders only when it is earned through their observation(s), correct use of procedures, and accurate measurements. – Time-related parameters should be provided to the responders at the time identified on messages to ensure the progress of the scenario timeline. For authenticity, and wherever possible, data sheets, recorder charts, and instrument output information should be provided in the scenario. – If responders require clarification (i.e., a reasonable request) about a particular message or visual cue, the controller should provide such data/information as accurately as possible considering the simulated time and the scenario conditions. If controllers need to create additional information (e.g., the message was incomplete) or do not know the information required, they should use pre- arranged protocols (e.g., obtain area controller or lead controller permission) to formulate a response. ! Free Play. Free play allows responders to make decisions and take actions they consider appropriate to the scenario. Realism is enhanced and responder motivation is improved when responders are provided the latitude to make decisions and take actions that may differ from those anticipated during the scenario development.

Section 17

– The key management aspect of free play is to allow such actions to occur, but to preclude actions by responders that would do the following. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-23 - Jeopardize personnel safety. - Jeopardize site/facility safety. - Compromise security. - Exceed established exercise scope or limitations. - Preclude exercise objectives from being demonstrated. – During exercises, responders may interject innovative, unexpected response solutions or actions that can be accommodated by the scenario. In such situations, the controller(s) should allow the responders to proceed with their actions and notify the exercise lead controller that a deviation is occurring. If the responder actions compromise safety or security, or limit demonstration of stated exercise objectives, the controller should note the intended action but preclude that intended action from actually occurring. This information should be reported to the evaluator. – Actual equipment and procedural problems that are identified during the exercise interject a form of free play. Solutions to actual equipment or procedural problems on a real-time basis afford a valuable evaluation of the conduct of operation, training, and safety culture of the responders. Controllers should allow responders to solve such actual problems unless safety, security, or demonstration of exercise objectives may be compromised. ! Prompting. Explicit instructions should be given to all participants to avoid prompting during an exercise. Prompting occurs when responders are provided advance scenario-related information or guidance regarding appropriate response actions. Prompting may result from either unintentional or intentional action by controllers, evaluators, or observers. Communications. All written and verbal communications among participants should be clearly identified as exercise information and all message transmissions should begin and end with the statement “THIS IS AN EXERCISE.” Because radio and cellular telephone transmissions can be monitored by offsite parties, personal information such as the names or phone numbers of individuals should never be transmitted. All communications should be in compliance with security practices. 1.5.3 Evaluating the Exercise Evaluation and critique of the exercise provides feedback to resolve deficiencies and incorporate improvements into the Emergency Management Program. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-24 Evaluation Process. Evaluators assess the performance of the ERO and the adequacy of equipment, facilities, and resource documents used by the responders. The assessment is made by comparing performance against predetermined and documented evaluation criteria based on requirements, site plans and procedures, and best management practices. Information is gathered and documented by the evaluators. The information from the evaluation and critique processes provides feedback for use in identifying training needs and improvements to the Emergency Management Program. The following additional sources of information may be used to evaluate the exercise. ! Responder self-critique comments/forms. ! Exercise critique comments. ! Exercise evaluation materials completed by controllers. ! Findings contained in the post exercise reports submitted by participating agencies.

Section 18

Critiques. Formal critiques are conducted after the exercise. The general purpose is to provide a forum in which the exercise can be addressed and discussed among the participants. This results in identification of “lessons learned” for improving the response to an emergency. For large-scope exercises, it may be necessary to conduct several critiques to ensure that all participants take part. ! Responder “hotwash” critiques are conducted immediately following the exercise to provide an opportunity for the responders to discuss their own perspectives on the activities and events. These critiques are typically conducted “in place” (e.g., incident command post, field teams, EOC) by the respective area lead controllers/evaluators. ! A formal verbal critique is conducted following each exercise and should include participation by all controllers and evaluators. This critique should provide the forum for discussion and correlation of individual observations, the formulation of exercise findings, determination of objectives demonstrated, and determination of overall exercise performance. Recommendations for corrective and improvement actions should be addressed. The product of this critique provides the framework for the senior management critique (plus any exit meeting) and the exercise report. ! A senior management critique should be attended by key participants, including manager-level responders, the exercise director, the lead controller(s) and the lead evaluator(s). The overall exercise performance, significant observations, findings, and preliminary corrective and improvement actions should be addressed. For exercises evaluated by an external organization(s), an “exit/closeout” meeting may be conducted. CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-25 ! Critiques should do the following. – Be conducted in a questioning, objective manner to maximize the benefit and learning experience from each exercise. – Include a review of scenario events, identification of shortcomings in the scenario or exercise conduct, and analysis of expected and actual responder actions. – Discuss responder performance, the adequacy of procedures and other documentation, and the adequacy of facilities and equipment. – Provide the basis for documentation of findings to facilitate identification of corrective and improvement actions for upgrading the Emergency Management Program. 1.5.4 Follow-up Activities Record Keeping. Auditable records should be prepared and maintained for each exercise. Long-range planning information such as exercise objectives, schedules, and the exercise report are considered auditable records. Records that may be maintained include the following. ! Training records. ! Participant rosters. ! Exercise participant packages. ! Critique minutes or summaries. ! Completed evaluator modules or checklists. ! Final report. ! Accounting summary. The Emergency Management Exercise Program Plan should be updated to reflect objectives that were demonstrated. Exercise Report. The exercise report documents the performance of responders against their published plans and procedures and validates the Emergency Management Program. The exercise report may contain the following. ! A narrative summary with introductory and general statements noting exercise scope, purpose, objectives, participants, and overall rating of the exercise. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-26

Section 19

! A presentation of findings correlated with the exercise objectives, including positive and negative comments regarding effectiveness of planning and preparedness. ! Recommendations for corrective actions. Corrective and Improvement Actions. An in-depth review should be made of the findings resulting from the exercise evaluation process. For recurring problems, a root cause analysis should be performed. A plan should be developed to implement corrective and improvement actions. Management should budget, schedule, and implement the actions to upgrade the Emergency Management Program. Activities should be coordinated with affected organizations. Corrective actions, such as procedural modifications, necessitate timely feedback to the participants. Such feedback demonstrates management attention and concern for upgrading the emergency response capability and is evidence to the participants that their involvement in exercises is supported by management. 1.6 Bibliography DOE O 151.1.

An airport maintenance worker in a pickup truck has been attempting to locate a foreign object, possibly a small animal carcass, reported on the south edge of the runway by a departing pilot some 25 minutes earlier. The cargo plane, an unscheduled flight, is on a final approach to the runway. Patchy low clouds cause slightly impaired visibility for both the cargo plane pilot and the airport maintenance worker. Seconds before the aircraft touches down, the maintenance worker spots an object (subsequently identified in the NTSB accident investigation report as a porcupine) on the north side of the runway approximately 200 meters from the east end. He abruptly turns north across the runway to investigate, placing the pickup directly in the path of the descending aircraft. The pilot, attempting to avoid a collision, applies full power and pulls up but fails to clear the pickup. The left landing gear strikes the pipe rack on the pickup. The aircraft veers left as the pilot attempts to regain control following the impact. Control surface damage and loss of airspeed prevent the pilot from regaining much altitude and attitude control. After crossing over the canyon immediately south of the airport, the aircraft impacts the process exhaust piping support structure and exhaust piping coming out of Building 3 North.

Section 21

The aircraft, with both engines turning at full power, tears through the piping and elevated exhaust ductwork leading to the filter buildings. The nose of the aircraft strikes the north edge of the roof of the building approximately 2 meters east of the wall that separates rooms 301 and 352. [Source: Exercise Porcupine; Performance Test at Los Alamos National Laboratory 1994] CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-A-6 SCENARIO NARRATIVE (SAMPLE 2) INITIAL CONDITIONS: ! The In-Tank Precipitation process is assumed to have been on-going for the past 118 days since full operations have begun. The first cycle of waste processing has recently been completed. ! The first cycle of precipitate slurry has been completely transferred to Tank 49 via pump B5. ! Following the transfer of precipitate slurry to Tank 49 it was determined that a slurry sample calculation error had been made and a prudent decision was made to draw and analyze Tank 49 samples. Sample results conclusively indicated that the Tank 49 precipitate did not meet the 10 weight-percent PR specification. The Facility Manager and Operations Manager authorized and directed a transfer of the slurry back to Tank 48 for further filtration. (Proc. 241-FH-7QT and SPN. 81893-1) ! The jumper was installed between nozzles 19 and 20 in the HDB-7 diversion box to allow flow from Tank 49 to Tank 48 through riser C1, from nozzle 19 in the diversion box. (Work Package No. LDH-56) ! Storm drains 907-6H and 907-7H have been diverted to the Retention Basin as a procedural precaution (prerequisite) to commencing the transfer between tanks. ! The transfer of precipitate slurry from Tank 49 to Tank 48 is in progress at this time, having commenced approximately 6 hours ago. The evolution is on-going. (SPN. 81893-1) Three material balances have been performed, of which the last was at 0700. All results verify that a normal transfer of material is in progress, as expected. (Proc. Att. 241-FH-30A) ! HP has been conducting rad surveys of Tank 49, including two hour swipes of the B-3 Riser motor and baseplate.

! Two Maintenance Technicians are in the process of completing the replacement of a slurry pump motor on Tank 51 on scheduled overtime. The work has been on-going around the clock for the past 18 hours with a small maintenance crew separate from the shift crew performing the work. E & I has previously completed all electrical connections and are no longer on or at the Tank. Two maintenance personnel remain on the Tank reinstalling equipment removed to gain access to the motor. (Work Package No. DKM-73) ! An Oxalic Acid dumpster refill was completed recently and a CSWE mechanic is scheduled to arrive mid-morning to deliver the dumpster to the OA Fill Station.

The C-1 VAMP on Tank 42 is temporarily in the bypass position so that work may be accomplished on the junction box. (Work Package No. LCV-19) ! No other “exercise-related” work is simulated to be in progress or ongoing at this time. ! Any actual work that is in-progress, or ongoing, shall be discussed/briefed as needed. Narrative Summary Initial conditions which are assumed to have occurred prior to exercise commencement. ! Following the transfer of precipitate slurry to Tank 49 it was determined that the slurry sample calculations were in error and the precipitate did not meet the 10 weight-percent Process Requirement specification. The Facility Manager and Operations Manager directed a transfer of the slurry back to Tank 48 for further filtration. ! The jumper was installed between nozzles 19 and 20 in the HDB-7 diversion box to allow flow from Tank 49 to Tank 48 through riser C1 from nozzle 19 in the diversion box. Storm drains 907-6H and 907-7H have been diverted to the Retention Basin as a procedural precaution (prerequisite) to commencing the transfer between tanks. ! The transfer of precipitate slurry from Tank 49 to Tank 48 is in progress at this time. ! Construction has just moved a piece of heavy equipment on the new hill. A riser plug intended for Tank 51 was sitting on the pavement near Tank 50. CSWE loaded the riser on a trailer and relocated it to near Tank 42 where it will be out of the way until such time as it is needed for Tank 51. [Source: SRS Annual (In-Tank Precipitation) Exercise 1993] CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-A-8 SCENARIO NARRATIVE (SAMPLE 2) CONTINUED ! The crane used to load the riser plug on the trailer is currently in the process of maneuvering around Tank 49, intending on turning between 49 and the 241-82H Control Room. (This route is being taken due to the miscellaneous pieces of equipment temporarily laying on the pavement between Tanks 48 and 49) Due to a vehicle temporarily parked in the area of his turn, near the Ops Training Trailer, the crane driver is unable to make the turn without having to go into reverse. ! The crane driver informs his spotter of his need to reverse, the spotter, on the Cold Feeds side of the crane, motions for the driver to reverse. The crane moves back about 8 to 10 feet and runs into the precipitate line from the B3 riser transfer pump on Tank 49. The impact is so great that the lead shielding and 3-inch line is cracked at the pipe weld on the lower side of the elbow and precipitate slurry immediately begins being pumped directly on the ground. EXERCISE PLAY BEGINS AT THIS POINT IN TIME

Section 23

! The operator, in his panic, pulls the crane forward causing friction on the now twisted line housing, generating sparks which ignite the vapors on the flowing precipitate. A small fire occurs above the precipitate as the Benzene fumes burn off. As the precipitate flows from the pipe, the fire spreads to a pallet and crate sitting near the valve box and tank edge. The fire comes in contact with the pallet and the wood ignites, starting a secondary fire. ! The crane operator immediately leaves his vehicle and notifies the Control Room of the accident and fire. ! The VAMPs (and portable VAMPs) on Tank 49 go into an alarm condition as a result of the continuing leak. The C-1 and C-3 VAMPs/transfer pump interlocks initiate and automatically shutdown the B-3 transfer pump. ! The spill stops when the pump completes its coast-down. Approximately 80-100 gallons of precipitate spills onto the pavement in the near vicinity of the pipe crack. ! Various other VAMPs on other tanks on the hill, as well as the CR PCM-1B personnel monitor go into an alarm condition in a staggered fashion in a relatively short time frame. ! As a result of the cracked pipe and the angle at which the pipe broke, the in-line leak detection sensors in LDB-4 also alarm, sending an interlock signal to shutdown the transfer pump. (The transfer pump, however, has already shutdown due to the VAMPs interlocks) ! Radiation levels at the spill source are a maximum of approximately 100 R/hr at 12 inches from the surface of the precipitate due to the direct gamma contribution and approximately 300 mR/hr due to the airborne contribution. [Source: SRS Annual (In-Tank Precipitation) Exercise ‘93] CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-A-9 SCENARIO NARRATIVE (SAMPLE 2) CONTINUED ! Two maintenance technicians, having nearly completed work on Tank 51 are alerted by the activation of VAMPs on Tank 51. During an expedient egress towards the hill access road, one technician inadvertently steps between two pipes jamming his left leg. As he falls forward, his momentum causes a compound fracture just below the left knee. His coworker attempts to help him get away from the tank, but the injured man is in such pain that he pleads not to be moved and asks his coworker to get help. ! The Operations Shift Manager, upon receiving the report from the crane operator, should verify the shutdown of Tank 49 precipitate slurry transfer operations, verify storm drains to the Retention Basin and dispatch the First Line Ops Shift Supervisor (or other operations personnel) to assess the accident scene. ! The Operations Shift Manager should determine and implement protective actions for the H-Area Tank Farm, including ITP, classify the incident as per EPIP 6Q8-4-ITP-001, assume the position of Facility Emergency Coordinator (FEC), activate the Area Emergency Response Facilities and notify both the Emergency Duty Officer (EDO) and Area Emergency Coordinator (AEC). ! The SRS Fire Department will and HAZMAT Response Team may be notified by the EDO and respond to the incident to mitigate the fire and spill. An ambulance should be dispatched by SRS Medical to the incident scene as well. ! The uninjured maintenance technician reports at the RCA Entry Control Point, or the Security Guard House and reports the injured worker and Tank 51 VAMPs alarms.

Section 24

! The fire continues to burn as a result of ignition of the nearby wooden crate and pallet containing a Tank 49 slurry pump motor covered with plastic. It burns for a total of approximately 20 minutes before going out of its own volition, if the fire department has not yet put it out. ! The FEC should consider and may decide to evacuate the Control Room to the Alternate Control Room based on Control Room habitability assessments of radiological, toxic, and fire conditions. This action, if decided on, will be controlled so as not to occur. [Source: SRS Annual (In-Tank Precipitation) Exercise 1993] CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-A-10 SCENARIO NARRATIVE (SAMPLE 2) The Incident Scene Coordinator (First Line Ops Shift Supervisor) should go to the Incident Command Post to interface and coordinate response actions with the SRS fire department Incident Commander. The OSC should be activated and operational within approximately 45 minutes of the emergency declaration. The TSC, EOC, EOF, and JIC should be activated and operational within 60 minutes the emergency declaration. The injured worker should be delivered to EMS personnel standing-by near the Command Post. EMS personnel should stabilize the injured person and transport him (simulated) to SRS Medical Building 719-A for treatment. The SRS fire department should respond to the top of the hill in an effort to determine the status of the fire (and fight it as required) and spill scene. It is expected that the fire will have gone out at approximately the time the fire department arrives on the hilltop. Field Monitoring Teams and the TRAC vehicle should be dispatched in an effort to track the radioactive plume. The TSC staff should commence development of strategies/recommendations for the conduct of HP/IH survey/reentry operations of the scene to determine the extent of the accident. Personnel and equipment resources should be coordinated and dispatched to the Command Post in support of the reentry. HP/IH and additional personnel as deemed appropriate should conduct reentry/survey operations and map out radiological conditions and provide debriefs to the TSC/EOF as necessary. A spill mitigation strategy should be developed and initial actions to mobilize the appropriate resources to implement the strategy should commence. Recovery planning strategies should be discussed and developed by the TSC/EOF staffs and a recovery plan outline should be prepared as a result. The exercise is terminated upon completion and a briefing of the recovery plan outline.

Section 27

Most SRS exercise activities will actually be performed as if the incidents were really occurring. The following list identifies actions to be simulated when and if these actions are indicated in response to scenario events. Additionally, controllers may direct participants to simulate certain activities to avoid performing actions that may cause adverse effects. ! Accident scene(s), damaged equipment, injured personnel, etc. These simulations will be accomplished through the use of props and role players to a reasonable extent (e.g., smoke generator(s) and red/brown colored smoke for toxic fumes, DOT HAZMAT packaging/markings for transport vehicle and hazardous chemical containers (drums), colored water to simulate liquid chemical, 32 moulaged actors for injured/dead victims, damaged/overturned truck, tractor trailer and bus to simulate vehicle accidents, live fire simulating vehicle fire.) ! “Site” meteorological conditions will be “canned.” (“Scene” meteorological conditions will be “live/actual.”) ! Public notification or other actions affecting the general public. ! Notification to FEMA, EPA, NRC, DOT and the National Response Center. A control cell will be used to simulate non-participating agencies/organizations. ! Departures from normal procedures that could compromise the security of SRS facilities. ! Use of lights and sirens on emergency vehicles traveling offsite. ! Perimeter barricade closures (with the exception of site barricade 2, which will initially (actually) be closed, though transparent to players due to its proximity to the accident scene, and site barricades 3 and 4 which will actually close, upon declaration of an SAE, due to implementation of a protective action to preclude traffic from the potentially downwind keyhole areas). ! Breaking ground at the incident scene through use of heavy equipment (e.g., bulldozers, backhoes, etc.) ! Call-out of additional SRS personnel to comprise the recovery planning organization. [Source: SRS Annual (HAZMAT Transportation) Exercise 1994] CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-A-15 SIMULATIONS (SAMPLE 2) 1. Moulage will be used to simulate injuries on two of the accident victims. A rescue dummy will be used to simulate the deceased employee. 2. A control cell will be set up to simulate local, state and regional federal agencies not participating; public/media calls, and political contacts/notifications. Actors will be used to simulate injured victims at the event scene, mock media going to the INEL PIC, and Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, and the simulated public/media traveling past traffic barricades. An Exercise Telephone Directory will be provided with phone numbers to be used when contacting simulated agencies/organizations. 3. Two employees from the TRA will be designated as being contaminated upon arrival at the South staging area. Three employees going through the ICPP portal monitors will be identified as being contaminated. These personnel will be pre-identified and wearing new, unlaundered protective anti-C clothing when identified as being contaminated. 4. Next-of-kin notification will be made real time to only one of the injured employees; next-of-kin notifications to the second injured employee and the deceased employee will be made to a control cell family actor. 5. Modesty clothing, worn under normal clothes, will be used to simulate nudity.

Section 28

6. Upon completion of accountability at the TRA and CPP, two bus loads of employees from each area will be sent to the relocation area. All other employees will return to work. 7. Prior to TRA employees being allowed back into the area, an exercise boundary will be established around the ATR, TRA training building, and the TRA ECC. Only personnel participating in the exercise will be allowed into the areas. 8. One Patrolman from the 405, 505, and 515 Central Alarm Stations will be designated exercise exempt personnel, and remain at their posts during the evacuation. All other Patrol personnel stationed at the CAS locations should participate in the evacuation and exercise-related activities per post orders. 9. Implementation of public protective actions to be taken off the facility will be simulated. Access control points outside of TRA should be simulated by parking the security vehicle along the roadside where the roadblock has been directed to be set up with its emergency lights flashing. The vehicle should remain in position as long as the access control point is required. No traffic should be impeded at the simulated access control points. Access control in the TRA will not be simulated. Not previously identified, exercise-exempt personnel may be passed through access control points on case basis by the area lead controller.

Actual broadcast of emergency information over local TV and radio stations will be simulated in accordance with the Media Plan. 11. Canned meteorological representative of the expected actual meteorology will be used for the exercise. Exercise participants shall use the canned met for all activities associated with the exercise. 12. The ATR Training Simulator will be used as the ATR Reactor Control Room. Two complete crews will be utilized the day of the exercise - the operating crew that will continue normal plant operations, and the exercise crew that will respond to postulated scenario events. The exercise scenario is modeled by the ATR simulator - plan conditions are displayed to the exercise crew of reactor operators as if the actual accident sequence were occurring. Since the simulator is remote from the ATR Control Room, a "clone" Shift Manager will be stationed at the ATR to implement orders of the "exercise" Shift Manager that cannot be performed in the simulator, such as sounding of plant alarms. Exercise plant operators will be positioned in the ATR to simulate carrying out the orders of the exercise Shift Manager, verbalized by the "clone" Shift Manager. 13. In the event the simulator is not functional for, or becomes dysfunctional during the exercise, simulator controllers will provide thermal-hydraulic and radiological data by messages, by data sheets, or verbally. 14. All exercise participants will receive exercise information by messages, cue cards, data sheets, or verbalizations from controllers and actors. 15. Fuel loading restrictions prevent operating the ATR at 200 Megawatts for 30 days. However, for the purpose of meeting exercise objectives, notwithstanding the restriction, it is simulated that such power operation is possible. 16. The collegial decision-making to determine Program Office activation of the DOE-HQ EMT will be simulated. The decision to activate a NE EMT by a decision of EM-1 and NE-1 will be simulated. An exercise controller message will be given to the DOE HQ Watch room requesting them to make the senior management notifications and advise them an EMT is being activated.

Section 32

The Test Reactor Area (TRA) is located in the southwestern portion of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), 4.9 miles northwest of the Central Facilities Area (CFA). Approximately 695 people are employed at the TRA. The area was originally established in the early 1950s with the development of the Materials Test Reactor (MTR). Two other major reactors followed: the Engineering Test Reactor (ETR) and the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). The ETR has been inactive since January 1982. The MTR was shut down in 1970 and the building is now used for offices, storage, and test areas for the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). The mission of the TRA is to provide facilities, utilities, and support capabilities to enable government and private agencies to conduct experiments associated with the development, testing and analysis of material utilized in nuclear and reactor applications. There are 80 buildings and 63 structures existing and being utilized at the TRA. These facilities have been modified to fit the changing needs of the INEL and now provide the following major types of functional space: reactor, laboratory, office, training, and craft support for maintenance. The major program located at the TRA is the ATR and more than half of the existing TRA personnel provide direct support to it. The remaining personnel support numerous programs and activities located throughout the INEL.

There are five separate operations taking place in TA-21: Tritium Storage and Testing in TSTA, Tritium Storage and Testing in TSFF, Laboratory Testing in the North half of DP West (East side), Decontamination in the South half of DP West (West side), and research in West end of DP West. TSTA and TSFF are located in one large facility, but are split by a security barrier. Access to TSFF is gained by entering the DP West gate and driving around the south side of the buildings to the TSFF. The East end of DP West has industrial security requirements, while the West end of DP West does require regular security clearances for access. A common security boundary splits these two operations. There is only one road into the TA-21 and that is down DP Road from the Los Alamos Townsite, etc.... [Source: Exercise Porcupine; Performance Test at Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1994] SPECIFIC FACILITY INFORMATION (SAMPLE 1) North End Plant Operations The north half of the building is isolated from the remaining Building 3 operations; it has been used for many years as offices and research labs. Several of the laboratories contain flammable materials. Rooms 301 and 301-A are used for U and thorium (Th) chemistry; both of these laboratories contain a few gallons of flammable solvents. Room 301 contains a small acetylene cylinder, while room 301-A operations use a standard hydrogen cylinder. Room 301-B, also used for U and Th experiments, contains about 100 gallon of organic solvents. Room 307 is used for transition metal chemistry, and it contains several gallons of flammable liquids (acetone, alcohols, etc.) and three cylinders of hydrogen or deuterium. The laboratory also contains one standard cylinder of hydrogen and one of deuterium. . . . (more) [Source: Exercise Porcupine; Performance Test at Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1994]

CANCELE D Exercises DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII 8-21-97 1-A-27 SPECIFIC FACILITY INFORMATION (SAMPLE 2) The TRA is divided into seven sections. The ATR section, located on the northwestern end of the TRA, contains the large ATR building, an office building, the reactor's cooling tower, ATR maintenance support and warehousing facilities, and several smaller buildings. This section is joined to the rest of the TRA through such systems as waste lines and roads; however, it has a power system that is separate from the major supply to the MTR and ETR. The ATR section power is supplied underground from the main TRA substation to the transformers on the northeastern corner of the ATR building. The ATR, one of the largest and most advanced test reactors, has operated continually for over 25 years. Construction of the ATR was completed in 1965 with initial start-up in 1967. Operation under full power began in 1969. During normal operating day shift hours, there can be as many as 40 employees in the ATR. The ATR is a 250-MW thermal nuclear reactor designed to study the effects of intense radiation on samples of reactor materials, especially fuels. The unique design of ATR includes a core containing the following: (a) 40 fuel elements in a serpentine arrangement, (b) beryllium reflector blocks, which contain cutouts for the outer shim control cylinders, specimen holes, and capsule irradiation facilities; (c) the neck shim (NS) rod housing, which contains the neck shim rods, regulating rods, fixed shim rods, and irradiation holes; (d) safety rods; and (e) sections of in-pile pressure tubes (IPTs), which are occupied by loop experiments. The reactor design provides (a) high thermal neutron density and the ability to adjust neutron density within the test region, (b) relatively flat axial flux distribution, and (c) the ability to vary the fast-to- thermal-flux ratio. ATR uses the flux trap principal, and the ATR fuel geometry forms five cylindrical flux traps located in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest corners and in the center. The duration of a typical irradiation cycle is 5 to 50 days. IPT test trains are selected for the cycle with the optimum conditions for their samples. The test trains contain samples of reactor materials or fuel that require exposure to various neutron fluxes in order to simulate different environments. For example, a special type of test, referred to as a powered axial locator mechanism (PALM) experiment, simulates the changes in temperature and neutron flux that reactor materials experience during numerous startups and shutdowns. These experiments are moved into and out of the reactor core at specified time intervals for a certain number of iterations. The movement of the test train will cause insertion of positive and negative reactivity, thus producing variations in reactor power. Therefore, the cycling range is limited to control the effect on reactor power within the range of the regulating rod. [Source: INEL Performance Test Exercise 1995 “Varmint”] CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume VII Exercises 8-21-97 1-A-28 SPECIFIC FACILITY INFORMATION (SAMPLE 2) CONTINUED At the end of an irradiation cycle, the reactor is shut down to refuel and remove selected IPT test trains and miscellaneous samples from other irradiation facilities within the core. The removal and insertion of IPT test trains and samples are conducted from the reactor top using five large elliptical ports located in the top head of the reactor vessel.

Section 34

The ATR is housed in a building that is approximately 200 ft. square and extends 60 ft. above and below grade. Two full basements house experiment cubicles and control panels, subpile room, control rod access room, reactor primary system equipment, and ventilation equipment. The building substructure is constructed of heavily reinforced concrete supported by subsurface rock. The superstructure is constructed of steel frame with exterior walls primarily of insulated aluminum sandwich panels. A major portion of the building is a gas-tight confinement that includes the reactor operating area, the control room, and the basements. The perimeter surfaces of the confinement are of concrete, masonry, or welded steel plate with all penetrations, including doors, hatches, and ventilation ducts carefully sealed or gasketed.

An Explosimeter (% LEL and % O2) Data Table follows the chemical concentration maps and will be used by scene and/or forward command post controllers if emergency responders enter the affected area with an explosimeter. A Building Concentration Table follows the explosimeter data table and will be used by scene/area protective action controllers if emergency responders (or non-essential personnel) enter or are in affected area buildings that have not had ventilation secured without appropriate protective equipment. A Symptomatic Data Table follows the Building Concentration Table and will be used by scene/area protective action controllers if emergency responders (or non-essential personnel) enter the affected area without appropriate protective equipment. IH instrumentation maintained and available at SRS that may be used to detect benzene airborne concentrations consists of Drager tubes, Microtips and HNUs. The Drager reads out in units of 0-10 ppm for benzene. Both the Microtip and HNU have an instrument range of 0-2000 ppm, and are directly calibrated for benzene. For Drager tubes, concentration data will not be given in values in excess of 10 ppm, based on the instrument range and the location of the responder performing the monitoring function. Likewise, for the Microtip or HNU, concentration data will not be given in values in excess of 2000 ppm, based on the instrument range and the location of the responder performing the monitoring function. The maps indicate levels which may be in excess of the instrumentation used, for a controller frame of reference and for possible use by the scene and area protective action controllers in providing ad hoc toxic symptomatic data to any player(s) who enter or are in the plume without respiratory protection.

This data is time sensitive as detailed on each individual map or table. The data remains in effect as per the individual maps/tables until such time as the player organization performs (simulated) actions to knock down the vapor cloud, neutralize and/or cover the spill. Mitigative actions could include (simulated) spraying the vapor cloud with water, spraying AFFF foam on the spill and/or in the inner tank and/or (outer tank) annulus and/or neutralizing it with other suitable agent(s) per the applicable procedures. Benzene Chemical Concentration Field (Measured) Data/Maps: Controller Information / Instructions: Controllers approaching the accident scene with players shall conservatively use a directly proportional (concentration vs. distance) relationship when judging concentrations in a given concentration "foot print" depicted on the maps which follow. IH Habitability survey data (Drager tubes, Microtip or HNU) for the Forward Command Post (FCP) shall be “As Read” for the duration of the exercise due to its anticipated (and procedurally driven) upwind establishment. In the extremely remote possibility that the FCP is established very nearby and crosswind or downwind of the spill scene, appropriate airborne concentration data and symptomatic data will be provided to the player organization in a coordinated fashion, ad hoc, by the accident scene and forward command post lead controllers. FMT controllers assigned to Field Monitoring Teams shall refer to the Expanded (0-1/2 mile) chemical concentration map to provide chemical data to FMTs. Concentrations trend up to a maximum of approximately 6 ppm (< ERPG-1) then back down to 1 ppm and background (during a three hour time frame) as the chemical plume travels across F Road, down wind of the OWST spill/S-Area. (It is not anticipated that FMTs will be directed to travel F Road close enough to "experience" chemical concentration readings.) By definition, readings taken at any location outside of the chemical concentration foot print curves are As Read, i.e., background.

Section 38

CONTROLLER NOTES: Provided below are the simulated conditions just prior to and during the medical injury: As per work package no. DKM-73, the slurry pump motor replacement on Tank 51 continues. Work has been ongoing now, for 18 hours. E&I has completed all electrical connections and two maintenance personnel remain on the tank top replacing equipment removed to gain access to the motor (i.e., rain cover, etc.). Without warning the VAMPS on Tanks 50 and 51 alarm and the two maintenance personnel initiate an immediate egress from the Tank Top. In the process one of the workers inadvertently steps between two pipes, jamming his left leg. His momentum prevents his breaking the fall and his body weight puts enough strain on the lower leg to cause a compound fracture. The coworker returns to give assistance, but the victim is in such pain he pleads not to be moved and asks that the coworker go for help. Actual role player conditions: Two (2) off-shift maintenance role players are briefed on the scenario are standing by at Tank 51. One is moulage for the left leg injury and has torn coveralls on. The victim is half sitting on the pavement between the tank edge and the monitor station, at the edge of the new hill. The injured individual is in position at 0748. Neither maintenance worker has any contamination and the worker who goes for help does not have any injury. Provided on the following pages are the medical messages to be used to control the medical mini-scenario.

If the survey is conducted off the hill in a "background" area, provide "As Read" readings as appropriate. If the individual is monitored on the hill, PRIOR TO 0810, the dose rate in the vicinity of the injured person is about 200 mR/hr. This will "peg" (off-scale high) any count rate meter used to monitor for contamination. Provide the appropriate exposure rate (if a Beta/Gamma instrument is used) based on the range of the instrument used. If the individual is monitored on the hill, AFTER 0810, the dose rate in the vicinity of the injured person is about 50 mR/hr. This will "peg" (off-scale high) any count rate meter used to monitor for contamination. Provide the appropriate exposure rate (if a Beta/Gamma instrument is used) based on the range of the instrument used. If the individual is monitored off the hill, provide the appropriate exposure rate (if a Beta/Gamma instrument is used) using the map on page 7.2.1-2, based on the location where the individual is being monitored and the range of the instrument used.

You should act as an actual reporter is expected to act. You wouldn't necessarily have all the appropriate telephone numbers, and you should develop that telephone list by asking DOE-HQ Public Affairs for the numbers. For each call, assume the appropriate profile and attempt to remain in character when portraying that individual. If any Responder requests a number where you can be reached, provide your Control Cell number, but ensure that the individual understands you will constantly be on the telephone and it would be better if you could call them back. Profiles

Section 42

1. You are John Story at the Washington Times, Washington Desk. You have been on the News Desk for just a short while and are still trying to prove yourself. You have been criticized for being too conservative in pursuing a news story and have been trying to change that. You smell a good story and want to get out in front. Your first calls (DOE-HQ PA, state, DOE-AL and LANL) should be made in an attempt to define the scope of the accident (what happened, what is the nature of the accident, any injuries, is radioactivity involved). Follow-on calls should be to obtain additional information on types of injuries, where patients were taken, how contamination is being handled, DOE assistance available to assist hospitals, what the state has available in resources to assist, and try and develop a human interest story. Use information gained from each of the calls to play off subsequent calls or go back to early calls for clarification or verification. 2. You are Bill Baggins from the National Tattle Tale. Your paper loves sensational news stories. You are aware that there has been a plane crash into a facility at LANL and you want to work the story line to include a disgruntled employee. Rather than ask specific questions, first begin the question with a statement (i.e., we understand that at least one victim in the plane was an employee who was recently fired from the LANL). Could this event be the result of an unhappy, disgruntled employee, or we understand that the wife of one of the plane's passengers worked at the facility where the plane crashed. Do you believe that the crash was intentional? The more far fetched the lead-in-the-better. Call and advance a theory; allow the media response people to respond; hang-up; and call back later with a new theory.
