EXERCISE SUPER-RABBIT, A LIVERMORE POOL TYPE REACTOR DISASTER EXERCISE

摘要

A simulated disaster designed to exercise the LLL Disaster Control Plan, the Livermore Pool Type Reactor (LPTR) Disaster Control Plan, and the various LLL disaster control support organiza¬tions and facilities is described. A simulated LPTR experiment, which re¬sulted in damage to the reactor and injuries to reactor personnel, required response to an uncontrollable reactor, rescue and evacuation of contaminated victims in a high radiation field, decon¬tamination of facilities and personnel, and medical attention for injured opera¬tions personnel. The exercise re¬quired an alert of the LLL emergency response system and subsequent up¬grading from a local accident status to that of a major disaster. The LLL Disaster Control Organization and re¬quired support units responded and implemented the LLL and LPTR Disaster Control Plans. Evaluation of the response was provided by umpires and followed by a critique of all personnel involved in the exercise.
