Requirements2

1.- GSR Part 7 (IAEA)

Requirement 25: Training, drills and exercises for emergency preparedness and

response

The government shall ensure that personnel relevant for emergency response shall take

part in regular training, drills and exercises to ensure that they are able to perform their

assigned response functions effectively in a nuclear o radiological emergency.

2.- Nuclear Emergency Plan (RD 1546/2004)

Title IV: “Preparedness for nuclear emergency response : effective implementation

for the level of external response and maintenance their effectiveness”

The object is to achieve and maintain adequate preparation to act in emergency

situations. This will require a program to develop and implement systematically:

theoretical and practical training of the responders

Off-Site Drills8

In coordination with personnel of the Direction of Emergency (Government Delegation), the

Radiological Intervention Unit of the CSN makes some drill in each Off-Site Nuclear Emergency

Plan

These drills are focused in:

1. Control access

2. Actions in Classification and Decontamination Stations

The drills have an annual periodicity, and a calendar is stablished at the beginning of each year

Examples of Off-Site Nuclear Emergency Drills9

During 2015 different exercises on the five off-site nuclear emergency plans in activities primarily related to

radiological controls access and classification and decontamination stations were performed by the

Radiological Group of the Off-Site Plan.

Some of these exercises were developed in collaboration with other operating groups of off-site plans, such as

the Group of Citizen Public Order and Safety for control access drills; and the Health Group and Municipal

Organizations in classification and decontamination stations drills.

Also, in several occasions the drills were preceded by sessions prior to acting training group.

On-Site NPP Exercises10

In order to verify the operability of the On-Site Emergency Plan, it’s must performed an exercise once

per year and nuclear power plant.

During the realization of annual exercise, activities will take place to check the availability of

resources in different areas:

Evaluation and classification of events.

Notification and communication to SALEM & CECOP.

Activation of External Technical Support.

Notice to personnel and measures of protection and assistance.

Monitoring and evaluation of the simulated events.

Corrective actions required for the development of the simulation.

Exercise Plan includes a sequence with scheduled times to check the performance staff and

implementing procedures and methods provided.

NPP Exercise Calendar20

Nuclear

InstallationShort description of the exercise

El CabrilPit overflow drains Auxiliary Conditioning Building. There is a leakage outside this building. During control operations, the contamination

of a person occurs.

Vandellós IIIt’s based on an event of loss indicator panels in the Control Room. This event is coincident with a major fire motivated by a transient

stage negatively evolve to loss of containment integrity and large external radiological impact.

Sta. Mª de

Garoña

Fire involving the cooling capacity of the fuel pool, whose integrity will be compromised by falling load. The event will declare PEI

Category II and to perform various mitigation strategies, during which workers become injured and contaminated externally and

internally.

TrilloIt’s based on a physical security incident affecting the NSSS and requires entry in SAMGs. The evacuation of site personnel and

activation of the new emergency management center will be made.

José CabreraFire in the area under control of the operator, with a duration greater than 10 minutes, which affects areas containing radioactive material

and causing environmental levels of radioactive contamination

Almaraz

Based on an accident affecting the NSSS its evolution leading to core melt into one unit, and use of the Extensive Damage Mitigating

Guidelines. There is radioactive release to the atmosphere. The follow up of the CSN for this emergency will be from the backup SALEM

(SALEM-2)

Juzbado Earthquake it is affecting the installation, causing release of radioactivity to the outside, with several injured workers

Ascó

Long-term scenario will be developed the relief from some positions of emergency management is foreseen (NPP and SALEM). The

initiating event is a LOOP, affecting both units and that one of them will progress to SBO, with core melting, loss of containment and

release of radioactive material to the atmosphere. In this exercise, the activation and participation of the UME is expected.

CofrentesThe initiating event is a LOCA .It is expected radiological to environment. In this exercise, the use of extensive damage mitigation

guidelines is also expected.
