Why national & international exercices?
To deliver an effective response over the EM timeline, it is
necessary to make, maintain and exercise adequate plans and
arrangements in advance
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development © 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 4
We exercise nationally. Why exercise internationally?
• Nuclear accidents may have impacts over wide areas, long time frames
– International response
• Test, evaluate and improve national, international arrangements for nuclear emergencies:
– International interfaces: communications, coordination, assistance
– Improved national systems → improved int’l systems
– Promote an international ‘exercise culture’
• Bring together stakeholders to identify/resolve issues
International exercises

International Nuclear Emergency Exercise
(INEX) series
Since 1993, the OECD-NEA develops, organises,
evaluates and analyses the International Nuclear
Emergency Exercise (INEX) series exercises to address
best practices and identify areas for improvement in
nuclear/radiological emergency management systems
The INEX exercises series have proved successful in testing, investigating and facilitating improvements
in emergency management nationally and internationally
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development © 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 6
Activities related to EP&R are mainly carried out by the
CRPPH Working Party on Nuclear Emergency Matters (WPNEM)
• Mission.-
– to improve nuclear emergency management systems within member states, and
– to share its knowledge and experience widely.
• Scope.- All aspects of planning, preparedness and response for the “early” and
“intermediate” phases of a nuclear/radiological emergency with a view towards
preparation of recovery actions.
• Methods.- Sharing information, data, knowledge, and experience to test all aspects of
emergency management systems and theories, identify gaps and provide
recommended strategies to improve EP&R management worldwide
• Membership: 60 delegates from 27 NEA countries, observers (IAEA, EC, WHO, FAO &
IFRC)
Key pillar:
Develop, organise, analyse the International Nuclear
Emergency Exercise (INEX) series

INEX 5 Context
Since 2011 Fukushima accident it has been recognized
that notification, communication, and identifying and
obtaining resources during catastrophic events can be
difficult.
The need for established protocols, policies, and
procedures among and between country entities is
critical for minimizing negative impacts
benefits to design an exercise focusing on these
aspects
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development © 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 10
Table-top exercise addressing EM aspects of
Notification, Communication &
Interfaces (NC&Is) related to Catastrophic
Events involving Radiation or Radiological Materials
• NOT a real-time exercise,
• NOT intended nor designed to test any
international conventions
INEX 5 Concept
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development © 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 11
INEX 5 Goal
To provide a basis for enhancing national and
international emergency management
arrangements related to notification,
communication and interfaces & obtaining resources
through the exchange of exercise outcomes and
experiences from participating countries, in order to
identify good practices and common issues to be
addressed
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Test and investigate the adequacy of national arrangements
(including national coordination and communication), and where
appropriate international arrangements, for NC&I and obtaining
and managing international resource support to respond to a
severe contamination event;
Review and share information on approaches to notification &
communication processes in order to identify good practice and
to allow review and improvement of local, national and
international arrangements;
Identify key areas and approaches to international
coordination and communication in order to provide a basis
for improvements in international emergency management
systems
INEX 5 Objectives
Country objectives to be added
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
INEX 5 Topical Areas
Decision-making on notification and communication
strategies, including issues in
optimisation (technical, economic and social
factors)
international communication and coordination
Public information and communication
National and international support (personnel,
equipment, etc.)
These topical areas will be evaluated from both national and
international perspectives and form the core of the common

• Based on a large scale NPP event,
exacerbated by a natural disaster and
radiological release of significant levels to
affect trans-boundary locations.
• State/National emergency response
organizations make decisions and initiate
actions based on minimal or non-existent
technical data.
• Neighbouring countries, IAEA, WHO &
WMO request information (countries without
NPPs, to consider participating with neighboring
countries w/ NPPs for receiving & requesting information)
Single generic scenario based on a potential radiological event that
escalates to an actual radiological event that is further impacted by
natural disaster requiring/involving international interfaces.

Individually Together
Internationally
Regionally
• Exercise the EPR systems (NPP or non-NPP country)
• Test internal procedures for NC&Is between and among country and international organizations
• Prepare for regional TTX
• Exercise regional EPR systems (NPP and/or non-NPP country).
• Test regional procedures for NC&Is between and among country and international organizations
INEX 5 – Alternatives for playing
• Exercise cross border EPR systems (NPP or non-NPP country)
• Scenario enables non-NPP countries to use role players (within country or other non- NPP country) to simulate NPP release
• Test cross border procedures for NC&Is .
• Exercise national, regional and international EPR systems (NPP and/or non-NPP country).
• Test national, regional and international procedures for NC&Is between and among country and international organizations
Ultimate goal: identify EP&R enhancements/improvements
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Following the Fukushima accident, there was a consensus in international fora
that there is a need to enhance international communications and the
exchange of information relevant to national emergency management
decisions. In particular at the regional level, it was seen that there is a need for
some international coordination and eventual harmonization of protective
measures to help to ensure a balanced response.

Who should participate in INEX 5?
‒ As an international exercise series, the key constituencies for INEX
5 participation include emergency planners, responders and
technical decision-makers from national authorities
‒ The participation of relevant governmental and non-governmental
stakeholders in the national exercises, consistent with the exercise
objectives, is both encouraged and supported by the INEX 5
scenario
‒ The extent of participation within a country will be the choice and
responsibility of each country
INEX 5 is open to all interested countries, both NEA member and non-member countries, and
relevant international organisations.
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Who should participate in INEX 5?
‒ Countries are encouraged to involve neighbouring and other
countries that could be involved or provide resources in case of a
catastrophic event involving radiation or radiological materials.
‒ Because of the individual nature of countries’ notification and
communication processes the table top exercises may have
different participants.
‒ NEA has informed and invited the participation of relevant
international organisations (IAEA, WMO, WHO, FAO etc.) through
the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiological and Nuclear
Emergencies (IACRNE).
‒ Each interested international organisation is responsible for
determining the manner and extent of its possible involvement in
the exercise.

Context - Recognition that informal exchanges between countries during an accident
do not fit well within the existing official channels’ structure (i.e. USIE,
ECURIE)
- INEX 5 is organised as a table-top exercise as such it would normally
be structurally limited in terms of communications and contacts with other
countries.
- However, with one of the key focuses of the exercise being to better
understand aspects of international coordination and situation assessment
that could be improved, the NEA is providing a table-top exercise tool to
very partially and simply simulate relevant international aspects..
NEA INEX 5 simplistic website
The use of the NEA website during INEX 5 could serve to clarify such
needs, and to eventually draw lessons as to how existing channels
could be updated to better address such needs
© 2016 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
What is intended to be assessed? to assist participating countries to assess:
– the types of information they would like to share and collect
internationally and
– how national processes and procedures would support such
international sharing and collection.
What is & what is not the NEA INEX 5 website?
It is a voluntary, simple tool to facilitate playing INEX 5 and to assist
participating countries to simulate the regional aspects of a table-top exercise.
It is not intended to be used in real situations.
It will not replace any other official channel of communication such as USIE or
ECURIE.
NEA INEX 5 simplistic website
NEA encourages all participating countries in INEX 5 playing
regional/international aspects to use the NEA INEX 5 Website.

INEX 5 Evaluation Workshop
• The observations, lessons and issues
captured in the INEX 5 Evaluation
questionnaire will form the basis of the follow-
up INEX 5 International Evaluation
Workshop, being organized after completion
of all national/regional exercises.
• The workshop will allow participants to
exchange and analyze experience from the
national exercises and identify cross-cutting
issues or gaps impacting multiple states.
• An important outcome will be the
identification of good practices as well as key
needs for future work that would benefit from
international co-operation.
