| Title | Unusual Event Declared Due to a Major Loss of Response and Communications Capability |
| Event Description | At 1130CDT on 6/12/2008, the Duane Arnold Energy Center was informed due to flooding in the local area that access to the Joint Information Center (JIC), the Offsite Radiological Analytical Laboratory (ORAL), the Offsite Relocation and Reassembly Area (ORRA), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) have been lost. This constitutes a reportable condition per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to the major loss of offsite response capability. The ORAL function will be maintained by the Iowa State Hygienics Lab. At the present time the remaining facilities are being relocated or moved to the Linn County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at the Kirkwood Community College Campus. Also, although multiple roads in the area are closed due to high water level, evacuation capability in the EPZ is being maintained. Also, at 1256CDT on 6/12/2008, Duane Arnold Energy Center was informed that local commercial phone service through the Palo phone system has been lost. This service also includes our ability to fax and access the internet. We have also lost our FTS2001 ENS connection. Again, per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii) this represents a major loss of offsite communication capability. Offsite communications is being maintained currently thorough our microwave and cell phone systems. Onsite communications are possible through our in house PBX and page system. Contingency plans are in effect to setup a mobile satellite uplink that would include voice and data capability.
The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed.
At 1430CDT on 6/12/2008, Duane Arnold Energy Center lost communications capability via commercial phone line, FT2001 ENS system and the microwave phone system. This meets the threshold criteria of an EAL classification of an Unusual Event. At 1440CDT the Shift Manager declared that Unusual Event and notifications were made to Linn County Emergency Management Agency, Benton County Emergency Management Agency and the Iowa Homeland Security Emergency Management Division. Currently, offsite communication is still possible via our installed cell phone and satellite systems and onsite communications remain possible via our PBX and page system. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed. Notified ET Member (B. Mallet), all IRD Management (B. McDermott, W. Gott, M. Leach), Commissioners' Staffs (D. Skeen, T. Hipschman, S. Baggett, J. Thoma, D. Coe), EDO Staff (J. Adams), PAO (E. Brenner), OCA (D. Decker), RDOs (R. Summers, B. Bonser, P. Louden, G. Miller), FEMA, DOE, USDA, and HHS.
On 6/12/2008 at 1444 FPLE-DAEC declared an unusual event (SU6.2) due to loss of all offsite communication. These systems included the FTS 2001, microwave phone lines, and commercial phone lines due to flooding of the Palo, Iowa phone station. Since that date FPLE-DAEC has reestablished two of the three offsite communication methods. The microwave telephone system has been restored and the commercial phone lines have been restored through a new exchange through the town of Shellsburg, Iowa, which was not affected by the flood. With these two lines of offsite communications reestablished the DAEC will de-escalate from the Unusual event from the loss of offsite communication. FPLE-Duane Arnold will be issuing a press release stating the unusual event has been cancelled. The NRC senior resident inspector has been notified and the state of Iowa, Linn County, and Benton county will be notified. The licensee exited the Unusual Event at 1428 EDT on 06/19/08. Notified R3DO (Kunowski), NRR EO (Fred Brown), IRD MOC (Bill Gott), DHS, and FEMA.
Multiple power sources are now available to the Emergency Operations Facility. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R3DO (Kozak). |
