Title | Loss of Emergency Communications Capability- Ep Conferencing Lines Unavailable |
Event Description | At approximately 1330 [EST] on Tuesday, December 03, 2013, while performing a table top drill, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) discovered that EP [Emergency Preparedness] bridge conferencing lines were unavailable. The conference lines affected included the mitigation line, plant data phone, radiation data phone, emergency conferencing line, and the back up conference bridge line. Reviews to determine the cause of the event and efforts to restore the system are ongoing.
The licensee has determined the Emergency Plan to be functional based on other communication methods that are available between onsite and offsite facilities. These include direct telephone lines, portable handheld radios, satellite phones and cell phones. Immediate actions to establish compensatory conferencing lines have been completed. On-going actions are in-progress to ensure procedure instruction is provided at each facility to enable use of the compensatory conference lines. At the time of this report, the plant is currently operating at 82% power due to a planned power maneuver unrelated to the reported communication event. The licensee has notified the NRC Senior Resident Inspector [and will notify the Commonwealth of Massachusetts]. This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to the loss of emergency response communication capability.
The primary communications method has been restored. The backup communications method should be restored tomorrow. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R1DO (Cook). |
