| Title | Loss of Power to the Emergency Operations Facility |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 0700 EDT on March 14, 2026, the emergency operations facility (EOF) lost normal and alternate electrical power. At the time of the event, the normal power source to the EOF (offsite power) was lost due to the effects of weather in the wider area and attempts to establish the alternate power generator were unsuccessful. At the time of this notification, power is not yet restored to the facility but is anticipated to be restored within the next few hours. The cause of the backup generator failure to run is unknown at this time. If an emergency is declared requiring EOF activation while there is no available power, compensatory measures have been established to ensure that all assessment and communications functions will be available, which include staffing the EOF at a location within the on-site emergency response facility and activating using existing emergency planning procedures. This is an eight-hour, non-emergency notification for a loss of emergency assessment capability. This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) because the loss of normal and alternate electrical power affects the functionality of an emergency response facility. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
