[Bridgewater_EOC_Communications] Two upcoming Pilgrim functional drills

[n1xtb]

Folks,
Below is an extract from an Entergy message requesting support for
drills scheduled on 22 June and 31 August.

The drills will be smaller scale and will exercise
communications functions.   I am looking for one or two people 
interested in coming to the Bridgewater EOC with me next Wednesday 
morning to get some hands on experience with the BECONS system and the 
new INFORM computer based system.

Please let me know if you are interested.

> As part of Pilgrim's previously scheduled yearly Combined Functional
> Drills (NOT associated with FEMA exercise and drill activities), we
> have additional Combined Functional drills scheduled for June 22 and
> August 31 this year.  These are scheduled in order to provide
> opportunities for each of our Emergency Response Organization Teams
> to participate in an annual drill activity to maintain their
> qualifications.
>
> We are reminding you of these dates as we would like to request
> participation by you and your 24-hour points and Emergency Operations
> Centers during these drills.  This is a great opportunity for our
> onsite and offsite communications personnel to practice use of this
> equipment in an interactive drill setting.  Your participation
> provides a great sense of realism to our onsite Emergency Response
> Organization.
>
> These drills normally begin at approximately 8:00 - 8:30 a.m.  As in
> the past, we anticipate initiating the DNN/InForm Initial
> Notification and Follow-up Information forms three or four times
> during the morning drill, initially from the Simulator/Control Room
> and then from the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) once it is
> manned and operational.  Of course, the actual timing of the issuance
> of the notifications is based on the drill performance and response
> to the drill scenario. Please return communication to me to ensure
> that we line up proper engagement of the system and extent of play
> during these drills.
>
> Thanks, once again, for your on-going support.
