Title | Loss of Tone Alert System |
Event Description | At 0830 on June 4, 2007, with the James A. Fitzpatrick (JAF) Nuclear Power Plant operating at 100% reactor power, Oswego County Emergency Management notified JAF that the National Weather Service had notified them that the Tone Alert Radios had been out of service since 0655.
This impacts the ability to readily notify a portion of the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) Population for the Nine Mile Point and JAF Nuclear Power Plants. This failure meets NRC 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> reporting criterion 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The National Weather Service is currently working to determine the cause of the failure and time frame for system restoration. The loss of the Tone Alert Radios constitutes a significant loss of emergency off-site communications ability. Compensatory measures have been verified to be available should the Prompt Notification System be needed. This consists of utilizing Local Law Enforcement Personnel for 'Route Alerting' of the affected areas of the EPZ. Oswego County Emergency Management has verified that the Oswego County Sheriff's Department is on standby for Route Alerting. The event has been entered into the corrective action program and the resident inspector has been briefed and the state PSC will also be notified.
Notified the NYS PSC at approximately 10:30 EDT [regarding original event notification]. The failure of the Tone Alert Radios was determined to be a loss of telephone interconnection service between Binghamton and Syracuse. The Tone Alert Radios were restored to service at 14:05. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the NY PSC. Notified the R1DO (Barkley). |
