Title | Offsite Notification of Emergency Siren Activation |
Event Description | The purpose of this report is to provide a telephone notification under 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) to notify the NRC of the inadvertent actuation of Oswego County emergency notification siren number 34 at approximately 17:40 EDT on 7/13/12. Personnel have been dispatched to the siren location and it has been deactivated pending further investigation. Backup measures are in place to notify residents if an actual emergency were to occur while the siren is out of service.
The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. Oswego County Emergency Management Office has issued a press release as follows: EMERGENCY SIREN SOUNDS INADVERTENTLY Fulton - One of the emergency notification sirens surrounding the nuclear power plants in Scriba inadvertently sounded at about 5:40 p.m. today, July 13, due to a malfunction. There is NO emergency at the three nuclear power plants in Oswego County. [The] Director of the Oswego County Emergency Management Office, said siren repair personnel from Constellation Energy and Entergy responded to the site near the intersection of Middle Road and Route 104 in Scriba as soon as they were notified the siren was sounding. The cause for the sounding is under investigation. The other sirens in the system are functioning properly. While the siren system is being repaired, backup measures are in place to notify residents if an actual emergency occurs at one of the plants. The siren is one of 37 located within a 10-mile radius of the nuclear power plants in Scriba. A system of sirens and tone-alert weather radios is in place to alert residents in the event of an emergency. In the event of an emergency at one of the plants that would require protective actions for the public, the sirens would be sounded for three minutes to alert residents of the area to turn their AM/FM radios or televisions to local Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations for further information and instructions. EAS stations are listed in the Emergency Public Information Calendar mailed to residents of the Emergency Planning Zone surrounding the plants and in local telephone books. The calendar can be viewed online at www.oswegocounty.com/emo. See related event notification from Nine Mile Point - EN#48105
As of 1349 EDT on 7/16/12, the siren vendor had completed repairs and retuned siren number 34 back to service. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. R1DO (Dimitriadis) notified. |
