Be Clear About Purpose
Primary Objective: No Unplanned Events
“Embrace” the NEI 06-04 (Rev 1) Guidance and keep an “eye”on the NUREG-0654 Objectives; begin to prepare for the integration of HAB and REP in evaluation space
Leverage this opportunity; walk away better prepared; develop and sustain important ORO relationships
• No Injuries • No Security Events
• No Operational Events • No Weapons Events
8
Understand the Differences
The tabletop is your exercise dress rehearsal
The exercise sequence of events and flow of information will be different
The scenario development team composition will be different
9
Planning and Preparation
Stakeholder engagementStart well in advanceIncident Commander engagement
10
Achieving Success
Preparing your exercise control materials
Preparing your exercise control team and participants
Performing as if it were a real event
11
Maintaining Control
This can turn into a “production”Know when “enough ORO
participation is enough”Be ready to drive your timeline
and planned exercise missions

Hostile Action Based Drill
September 9, 2008
15
Hostile Action Based Drill
The September 9, 2008 Hostile Action-based Drill (HABD) was the first exercise in New Jersey of the Terrorism Procedure for the nuclear power plants. This Drill posed unique challenges to the New Jersey State Police and the Office of Emergency Management and was successfully demonstrated despite the unfamiliarity of the participants with the Procedure.
16
Hostile Action Based Drill
The Drill initiated at 1700 from the State Regional Operations and Intelligence Center (ROIC) with call to Duty Trooper describing a credible threat to the plant.
At 1721, following additional calls from ROIC to the Duty Trooper and OEM Command Staff activates the State EOC.
At 1730, the Licensee declared an Unusual Event.
17
Hostile Action Based Drill
At 1730, Incident Command Post (ICP) established at the plant.
ROIC notifies Ocean County at 1738 and the BNE at 1739.
At 1741, the Licensee declares a Site Area Emergency also reports of explosions and gunfire reported from the ICP.
18
Hostile Action Based Drill
At 1745, Licensee reports the loss of all offsite power.
At 1749, the Licensee declares a General Emergency (GE).
The Governor declares a “State of Emergency” at 1750.
19
Hostile Action Based Drill
At 1753, the Initial Contact Message Form (ICMF) declaring the GE is verified.
By 1804, the Command Staff reviewed the potential Protective Actions carefully weighing the publics safety and response to the terrorist event.
20
Hostile Action Based Drill
At 1820, the Commanding Officer decided that since no offsite release was in progress Sheltering in Place for all Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPAs) in the zero to five mile radius was the prudent course of action.
21
Hostile Action Based Drill
The public was alerted by sirens at 1828 to tune into the Emergency Alert System.
A message instructing the public to shelter in place was aired at 1833.
22
Hostile Action Based Drill
The HABD encompassed the integration of multiple offsite response organizations responding to the incident at an Incident Command Post (ICP) on the power plant property with the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) managing a traditional response to a classified event at the plant.
23
Hostile Action Based Drill
The State EOC provided adequate and timely resource support to the ICP in addition to managing implementation of the Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP).
24
Hostile Action Based Drill
Cons: The nature of HABD restricts the number
active participants to the key-hole municipalities and designated responders.
Minimal requirement for Accident Assessment and Field Monitoring.
25
Hostile Action Based Drill
Training value diminishes when the initial flurry of activity is followed by prolonged voids in events.
In order to meet the requirements of State Law three exercises had to be conducted:
August 13, 2008 evaluating the State EOC, Accident Assessment, and Public Information
26
Hostile Action Based Drill
September 9, 2008 exercising the Terrorism Procedure evaluating Lacey Township, and Ocean Township.
September 23, 2008 evaluating Ocean County EOC and the fifteen municipalities not participating on September 9, 2008.
Additional training of evaluators, scenario required, and an artificial exercise environment.
27
Hostile Action Based Drill
Pros: Staff at the State EOC were challenged
by the rapid succession of events and the training value was appreciated.
The State EOC focused on the RERP aspects of the event.
Staff at the State EOC provided timely and effective support to the Incident Command Post.
28
Hostile Action Based Drill
Command Staff displayed exceptional initiative in developing the Protective Action Decision.
Command Staff carefully weighed information destined for press releases.
The BNE staff at the State EOC provided key insights on the event and displayed thorough knowledge of plant systems.
29
Hostile Action Based Drill
Excellent interface between the State EOC and the Incident Command post.
No apparent interoperability issues from responders in the field.
Staff at each facility displayed flexibility and ingenuity when faced with an event outside the strictures of the RERP Plan.
30
Hostile Action Based Drill
Conclusion:
The merits of the HABD warrant its inclusion into the REP Program.
