| Title | Loss of Two Public Warning System Sirens |
| Event Description | On September 12, 2011, the Palo Verde Emergency Preparedness Department discovered that public warning system siren 1 was not responding and was out of service. The loss of this siren did not constitute a loss of capability to alert a large segment of the population for greater than one hour and was therefore, not reported. Troubleshooting had commenced but was not completed. On September 14, 2011, at 1023 Mountain Standard Time, the Palo Verde Emergency Preparedness Department was notified by Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) that siren 6 had failed. Since siren 1 remains out of service pending repairs, and siren 6 is now out of service, the loss of the two sirens constitutes a loss of capability to alert a large segment of the population for greater than one hour and is reportable. This is a reportable event as a loss of communication and assessment capability that could potentially impact a population of greater than 10 percent of the people in the 10-mile emergency planning zone (approximately 750 people affected). Therefore, this notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii).
If an event occurs while the sirens are out of service, the Palo Verde Emergency Plan has a contingency for dispatching MCSO vehicles with loudspeakers to alert persons within the affected area. The MCSO is prepared to implement this contingency should it become necessary. Troubleshooting to determine the cause of the failure of siren 6 has also commenced. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of the out of service sirens and this ENS call. |
