| Title | Loss of Communication Capability Through Ens Line |
| Event Description | The licensee was notified by the phone communications provider of a loss of all communications that affected the licensee's Emergency Notification System (ENS) line. The licensee has provided the NRC Operations Center with a back up cell phone. The ENS capability is expected to be restored by 23:00 tonight and after restoration of the phone lines, the licensee will verify ENS functionality. It is believed that the loss of communications was due to maintenance work being performed by the provider on the fiber optics lines.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified by the licensee via voice mail phone message.
The ENS line has been restored at 19:33 on 04/27/04. Communications with the US NRC Operations Center was tested satisfactorily. The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified by the licensee via voice mail phone message. Notified the R1DO (Barkley). |
