Title | Failure of the Alert Notification System |
Event Description | Alert Notification sirens (60 of 67) failed to operate properly and therefore required licensee to report this per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). All Emergency Planning Zone counties have been notified and placed on backup route alerting, which means notification will be performed by local authorities. Investigation of this matter is ongoing.
Licensee has notified NRC Resident Inspector.
A bad radio in the test shop created interference with the Alert Notification sirens, thus preventing them from operating properly. At 1425 EDT all Emergency Planning Zone counties were notified and the backup route alerting was cancelled. The sirens were tested satisfactorily multiple times. Licensee has notified NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Guthrie)
Telecom investigation revealed that all 67 ANS sirens were in fact available and ANS siren failure did not occur. The polling feature of the ANS sirens feedback signal experienced radio interference from a standby radio. This interference in the feedback system of the radio/siren system did not interfere with the activation of the sirens. The ANS sirens were fully functional and available during this time, therefore notification 44339 is being retracted. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Payne) |
