Title | Loss of Eof Communication Capability Due to Equipment Failure |
Event Description | At approximately 0745 [CDT] it was determined that the ANO telephone system communications for outgoing and incoming calls had been lost. An ENS phone check was performed satisfactory with the NRC. Two alternate dedicated outside lines located in the Control Rooms and five alternate NRC lines in the TSC were operating satisfactory.
However, when E-plan personnel evaluated the EOF located in the nearby training center, there was only one outside line that was functioning and in addition to a lack of external phone lines, there was no internal phone communications available between the EOF and the plant. The impairment to the EOF due to the lack of communications was considered a major loss of emergency assessment capability per 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). Phone service to the site was returned at 1031 [CDT]. Phone service to the EOF was verified at 1145 [CDT]. This event was the result of an offsite power outage on 05/02/09. Following the loss of power, the onsite telephone equipment transferred automatically to battery supplied backup power. When the affected offsite power was restored, the telephone equipment power supply failed to automatically realign (auto transfer). No alarms were available to operators to detect the power supply misalignment. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
