Title | Temporary Outage of Public Prompt Notification System Due to a Bomb Threat Offsite |
Event Description | The Siren Control Panel at the Houston County Courthouse was unavailable due to a bomb threat [FNP-0-EIP-8.0, step 13.6.3] which caused a loss to the Public Prompt Notification System (i.e.. Tone Alert Radio system and the Sirens) for greater than one hour. The bomb threat occurred at 0852 [07/23/10] and Houston County Courthouse evacuation was commenced. Farley Nuclear Plant was notified of the bomb threat and subsequent evacuation at approximately 0945 [07/23/10]. The bomb threat resulted in the Houston County Emergency Management Agency (HCEMA) and the Houston County Sheriff's dispatcher to be evacuated, which resulted in the Alert Notification System (ANS) activation consoles being inaccessible.
The HCEMA office was evacuated at 0915 [07/23/10] and the Houston County Sheriff Dispatcher evacuated at 0925. When Farley Nuclear Plant was notified of the bomb threat, Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel were dispatched to the local MET Tower console for ANS actuation (TAR's and Sirens) per approved plant procedures, if required. Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel were on station at the MET Tower ANS console at 0959 [07/23/10] with capability to activate the ANS console if required. Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel were in contact with HCEMA at 1000 [07/23/10]. All clear from bomb threat given by Houston County Sheriff's Department and normal access was restored to the HCEMA office at 1100 [07/23/10]. At 1109 [07/23/10] HCEMA notified Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel that the HCEMA office was manned and the MET Tower ANS console manning was secured. During the time that the HCEMA office was unmanned, Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) was the notification point for HCEMA and that any decision to activate the ANS console could be made by HCEMA by direction of AEMA and then performed by Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel. The total length of time that the Alert Notification System was unavailable was 68 minutes. This was based on the bomb threat and evacuation time at 0852 [07/23/10] until Farley Nuclear Plant Emergency Preparedness personnel were in contact with HCEMA at 1000 [07/23/10]. The licensee notified Alabama and Georgia Emergency Management Agencies as well as Houston County and Early County Management Agencies. The licensee also notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
