Update: Changes and Innovations in REP Exercises

This document summarizes key comments and proposed enhancements from focus groups conducted during the National Radiological Emergency Preparedness (NREP) Conference, held on April 21, 2009. Led by Joseph D. Anderson from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the task force aimed to improve Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) exercises by suggesting innovative changes. Key areas of focus include reducing predictability in exercise events, integrating hostile action-based scenarios post-9/11, and varying simulated radioactive releases. The recommendations aim to strengthen overall response capabilities in radiological emergencies.

  1. Update: Changes and Innovations in REP Exercises “Summary of Focus Group Comments” National Radiological Emergency Preparedness (NREP) Conference April 21, 2009 Joseph D. Anderson, Branch Chief U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office Nuclear Security & Incident Response

  2. Exercise Scenario Task Force • Tasked with: • Recommending potential enhancements to REP exercise scenarios, and • Engaging REP program stakeholders. • Focused proposed enhancements in these areas: • Reducing response organizations’ exercise pre-conditioning by identifying means of avoiding the predictability of exercise events and timing. • Enhancing REP response capabilities based on post 9/11 security initiatives by introducing hostile action-based (HAB) scenarios into the REP exercise cycle. • Providing for options to vary the amount and type of simulated radioactive releases during exercise play.
