CFFF Conducts another Site Emergency Training Exercise

Written by Westinghouse Electric Company | June 7, 2022

Throughout the year, the CFFF site conducts various training exercises using multiple scenarios to plan and prepare for how we react and respond to any type of emergency situation that can occur. These training exercises are conducted with the various emergency response teams at CFFF (Emergency Response Team, Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Security Forces, and other Subject Matter Expert teams) depending on the training scenario. The training exercises often include joint participation with local, city, state, and regulatory agencies.

On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, the CFFF plant conducted a training exercise with the Richland County Bomb Squad.

The purpose of this training was to:

  • Ensure that CFFF procedures match the actions performed by Richland County’s Bomb Squad or other off-site responders coming to our site in the event of an incident.
  • Help build stronger relationships between CFFF’s response units and our local emergency responders.
  • Allow local emergency responders to train in a different environment.
  • Allow local emergency responders a chance to become more familiar with our site.
  • Allow local emergency responders to better understand the capabilities of the CFFF response teams.
