Preliminary Event Scenario-YVOEM Training Exercise

Scenario

There is a two day energy rally in Yakima.  It is advocating the use of a new technology for  nuclear fission to produce electrical energy.  The process has failed twice killing ten people at the only test reactor located in Russia.  Very little information has been reported on the accidents.  The group says it has fixed the problems and is ready to build a working plant on the Hanford Reservation here in the US.  Opponents claims the organization has completely sacrificed safety and cannot meet their claims.  The rally is well attended with over 3800 signed in.  The event is being seen as a potential shot in the arm economically by hotels and businesses in Yakima.

 

A significant number of scientific, environmental and two known radical activist groups have denounced the process as unsafe and unreliable.   There are several environmental groups busing protestors into town to protest the event.  There are approximately 2500 protesters being reported in town awaiting guidance by their parent groups.  This is an informal report being made to the national media’s in town to cover the event.

 

The two known radical groups are People Against Fission (PAF) and Militia Against Spontaneous Atom Splitting (MASAS). Although there are undoubtedly others these are the known radical groups against the new technology.   MASAS being the most violent having claimed responsibility for a bomb at the test reactor that caused one of the deadly failures in Russia.  Both groups have vowed to disrupt and if possible stop the rally in a flamboyant manor to draw attention to what they believe is an unsafe technology that could kill millions of people and potentially destroy the world.

 

The rally starts Friday morning and ends in the afternoon on Saturday.   It includes several speakers from Russia, one from China, and an a scientist who has defected from North Korea.  The North Korean scientist is the most controversial with his absolute assurance the technology which he says he developed is completely safe.  He claims the system does not even require a containment vessel to work. 

 

Soon after starting Saturday an unknown group of perpetrators unleashes an air born pathogen. As the audiences stampedes out,  the perpetrators take numerous audience members hostage.
