| Title | Loss of Ability to Telephone Out of State |
| Event Description | When it was discovered that numerous plant personnel could not make telephone calls out of state, attempts were made to contact the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, as well as the NRC through the FTS phone. The NRC, as well as the state of Vermont were contacted but the NAS phone system was inoperable as well as the land lines to the states of NH and MA. Alternate means to contact the states were available via the microwave system.
At 1430 all communications that were lost were restored. At 1445 all testing of communications were completed. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
