| Event Description | On October 11, 2004, at 1057 [hrs. EDT] , while performing modification work to support security upgrades, the radio system controller that activates the plant offsite warning system was removed from service during a pre-planned activity. At 1148, the system was rebooted but failed to perform correctly. Approximately 70 % of the sirens were communicating with the system, while plant procedures direct that less than 75 % of the offsite warning system meets the reporting threshold. At 1226, the offsite warning system capability was restored to greater than 75%.
Since the removal of the offsite notification network from service was a planned evolution, the county, state and the NRC resident inspector were notified prior to the removal from service. Appropriate compensatory measures were taken by the state and local agencies. The cause of the event was the new Federal Signal activation frequency not reloading after the outage since it was not hard-coded into the software for the radio system controller. This caused all 27 of the Federal Signal sirens from being activated. Three other sirens had pre-existing conditions which made 30 sirens inoperable out of a total of 106. The correct information was loaded into the software via modem and a silent siren test confirmed 93% capability at 1226. The frequency information was hard coded into the software to prevent future occurrences. The licensee notified state/local agencies and the NRC resident inspector. |
