Title | Loss of Offsite Telephone Lines |
Event Description | At approximately 0340 CDT on Wednesday, August 23, 2017, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station was notified by the Entergy System Dispatcher that the NRC had called them and told them that the NRC could not contact Grand Gulf on the Emergency Notification System (ENS) line nor commercial telephone. Control Room personnel immediately tested several offsite lines including the NRC ENS line and found the lines were non-functional.
Offsite prompt Public Warning Sirens were available at all times. State and Local notification capability was available via UHF radio communication. GGN Emergency Response Organization notification capability was available at all times via satellite phone activation of group paging. GGN site Emergency Response Facility intercommunications were available at all times via site internal telephones. In-plant and offsite team communications were available at all times via UHF radio. This event is being reported (8-hour notification) as an event or condition that adversely impacted offsite communications in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii), specifically the loss of the NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS). The phone company has been contacted and actions are being taken to restore normal communications capability at this time. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
At 1701 EDT on 8/23/17 the phone systems at Grand Gulf have been restored. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R4DO (Farnholtz) |
