The use of any or all the tools presented in the Tool Kit is optional. HAB Plan Review Checklist HAB Points of Review (POR) Demonstration Criteria Template Facilitators Guide Slides packet REP Hostile Action Based Exercise Tool KitScott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 20148TOOLs in the TOOL KITThe Tool Kit contains several different tools. Each begins with a description of how it may be used. The tools may be used separately or as a group of tools supporting various aspects of a planning workshop or a scenario-led discussion of response plans and/or procedures to be reviewed.The HAB Plan Review Checklist contains the planning standards cited in the REP Manual Section II.C. The standards are presented in table format, and only standards that are pertinent to the HAB review are listed. It is an easy to use checklist.The HAB Points of Review (POR) Demonstration Criteria Template is presented in Excel 2010. It features the 21 criteria in the REP Manual Section III where HAB is cited. The template may be used electronically with easy to use drop-down menus.The Facilitators Guide describes how one may facilitate a scenario-based discussion or workshop to review plans and procedures for the 21 demonstration criteria. There are 21 Modules which accompany the Facilitators Guide, each depicting a specific criterion. There are related questions listed on each module which may be used to lead discussion of that particular criterion to identify whether the criterion is sufficiently addressed in the OROs plans and/or procedures. Each module has the same commencing scenario followed by injects that are designed to push the discussion /planreview to the HAB aspects of the particular criterion depicted. In this manner, a facilitator may use anyone or more of the modules, separately or together, and still have a fully developed scenario and injects to drive the discussion.The Slides packet coincides with the Demonstration criteria. The scenario and inject packet were created separately so that facilitators may give the scenario and each appropriate inject(s) to the participants when the accompanying criterion is being reviewed. There is also a list of each module as numbered and which criterion it depicts, and it goes further to identify which inject accompanies which criteria / module.Use of the Modules, slides, scenario/injects, and the Facilitators Guide, along with the POR Demonstration Criteria template, provides the framework to conduct a meaningful planning workshop or meeting with OROs. OROs may use the tools to conduct their own review of their plans.

REP Program Training9

Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 20149REP Core Concepts Course10This course focuses on the nuclear power plant off-site radiological emergency preparedness program. Addresses the REP Program history and sentinel events, federal regulatory policies, basic radiation principles, REP planning guidance (planning standards), REP demonstration guidance (exercise evaluation areas) and the REP Disaster Initiated Review (DIR) process. At the successful completion of this course, the student will have satisfied the instructor-led training prerequisites for both the E/L-340 REP Plan Review Course (RPPR) and the E/L-304 REP Exercise Evaluator Course (REEC).E/L/B-339 / RCCC (1.5 days) (REP Instructor Cadre)Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201410REP Plan Review Course11This course focuses on the review of REP emergency plans, specifically the NUREG 0654 planning standards that address the publics health and safety. The revised REP Plan Review Course will include training based on the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) -101, familiarization of Hostile Action Based (HAB) plan review, annual plan review and the Annual Letter of Certification Review Guide process.E/L/B-340 / RPPR (3.0 days) (REP Instructor Cadre)Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201411REP Exercise Evaluator Course12Topics include regulations and guidelines for evaluating REP exercises, in preparation of, observations during, post-exercise activities, and techniques for exercise evaluation. This also includes the observation of video vignettes of REP exercises and the development of exercise narratives submitted to the REP Exercise Evaluation Tool (EET), for review by REP adjunct instructors. Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and utility personnel who are involved in the development of off-site REP plans and exercises may apply. This course fulfills the credentialing training requirements for becoming a Type III REP Exercise Evaluator. E/L/B-304 / REEC (3.5 days) (REP Instructor Cadre)Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201412Radiological Accident Assessment Course13This course addresses radiological consequences of accidents involving radiological materials. This includes accidents or incidents involving commercial power reactors, lost sources, dispersion devices, and transportation. The focus of the course is concepts involved in formulating protective action recommendations following a radiological accident, such as dose quantities, atmospheric dispersion, dose projection, protective action guides, and derived intervention levels. Participants engage in problem-solving sessions and a tabletop exercise. E/L/B-341 / RAAC (5.0 days) (REP Instructor Cadre)Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201413REP Disaster Initiated Review Course14This course is designed to provide the student with fundamental knowledge of the Disaster Initiated Review (DIR) Standard Operating Procedure and Post Disaster Assessment of Offsite Capabilities Checklists. At the end of this course, participants should be able to demonstrate an awareness of the responsibilities, procedures and protocols for the accomplishment of a DIR and demonstrate an ability to function as a member of a DIR Team by participating in a DIR table-top exercise.Future development of Virtual Tabletop Exercise (VTTX)IS-307 / RDIR (1.0 days) (REP Instructor Cadre) Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201414Radiological Emergency Response Operations15This course offers lectures, hands-on training, and team exercises. The lectures include operational-level radiological concepts using guidance and information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Use of the hands-on training modules will provide students with the knowledge and skills to perform in a radiological emergency response operation. The Radiological Emergency Response Operations course culminates on the fifth day with a final exercise involving the emergency response operations skills and training learned during the course.PER-904 / RERO (5.0 days) Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201415Advanced Radiological Incident Operations16This course provides participants with the advanced skills necessary to safely respond to and manage incidents involving radiological hazards. Participants apply these skills in tabletop exercises based on realistic radiological incident scenarios, set within the ICS structure. At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to accomplish the following: Identify hazards created by a release of nuclear power plant radioactivity Outline protective actions that must be taken for the public responders during an incident Apply relocation, re-entry, and return procedures relative to ingestion exposure pathways.PER-905 / ARIO (5.0 days) Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201416Radiological-Integrated Capstone Event (R-ICE)17Hosted by Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) Noble Training Facility (NTF) Anniston, ALRERO participants will focus on 1st Responder hands-on equipment skills, and responsibilities as members of a field monitoring team during radiological Plume and Ingestion Pathway incidents.ARIO participants will focus on Emergency Operations Center (EOC) responsibilities, coordination of the field monitoring teams, data collection, and developing recommendations for protective actions.Combined PER-904 & 905 / RERO & ARIO (5.0 days) Scott Hallett / REP ProgramApril 29, 201417(EOPT)
