1. Update on EPPR Radiation Projects October 2012 Ann Heinrich, U.S. Department of Energy

2. Agenda Item 8.6: Radiation Projects Emergency Exercise: Saida Bay 2012 Emergency Rescue Team Equipment: Nerpa Shipyard International Consequence Management training course

3. Emergency Exercise “Arctic 2012” Murmansk Region, June 19-21 Location: Saida Bay; western coast of the northern part of the Kola Gulf, Barents Sea Hazardous facilities: coastal reactor compartment (RC) storage pad, floating RC storage, repair shop for RC cleaning and painting First day of the exercise – detailed tour of site

4. Emergency Exercise “Arctic 2012” Exercise objectives: Validate notification procedures (including international notification), assembly and deployment of emergency response forces Exercise fire extinguishing under radiation contamination conditions Validate radiological survey and radiation situation analysis capabilities Conduct accident analysis, prognosis, and decision making for protection of people and the environment Exercise interaction with local and federal authorities (incl. local EMERCOM)

5. Emergency Exercise “Arctic 2012” Scenario initial event: Crash of an aircraft into the temporary storage pad of decommissioned submarine reactors leading to loss of integrity of one reactor and a radiation release ( 137 Cs and 60 Co) into the environment. Fire. Triggering of sensors of the automated local radiation monitoring system. Stages of the exercise: Notification Fire extinguishing Radiation survey Primary measures to protect personnel Forecast and mitigation of the accident Decisions on response Final disposition of the accident

6. Emergency Exercise “Arctic 2014” Atomflot, Murmansk Region Scenario: an emergency associated with a nuclear-powered icebreaker in Murmansk causes contamination requiring protective measures. Features: Development of recommendations for population protection and public communications will be exercised. Study of the effect of regulations and intervention levels on response actions and efficiency, especially as they apply to decision making on protective measures. Date: TBD in spring/summer 2014

7. Emergency Rescue Team Equipment: Nerpa Shipyard Develop the plan on modernization of equipment and software tools for the facility’s emergency rescue team – Complete Development of specialized software for assessing parameters of ionizing radiation fields from sources of various geometries with and without shielding – Complete Purchase equipment, test and transfer the equipment to “Nerpa” Shipyard – Expect complete in October 2012 Simulation of emergency consequences for prepared set of scenarios – Expect complete in December 2012 Personnel training – Expect complete in March 2013
