5.2.6 Menu Bar Command Buttons (continued)

3. Status The Status button provides access to the different screens for determining the status of the sirens, FIUs and repeaters. Clicking the Status button brings up the STATUS SCREEN SELECT screen.
a. The ZONE SELECT screen shows the general status of the four (4) siren zones - Chatham County, Harnett County, Lee County, and Wake County.

The text color on the county button indicates the status:

(1) Solid black text - the associated zone has no current alarms and no status remaining to be acknowledged.

(2) Solid red text - alarms are present but each has previously been acknowledged.

(3) Blinking red/yellow text - new alarm is present within the zone.

(4) Blinking black/yellow text - an alarm has been reported but returned to normal prior to being acknowledged.

b. Clicking on one of the county buttons in the ZONE SELECT box brings up the STATUS SCREEN for the selected county.

The siren status information contains a combination of status and alarms for each of the sirens in the system. The status is color-coded for easy operator identification purposes.

(1) Blinking Red/Yellow - the alarm is still present.

(2) Blinking Green/Yellow - the alarm was there but has been resolved.

c. Clicking on any of the buttons in the FIU Status box brings up the FIU Status/Repeater Status screen.
d. FIU Status Screen The FIU status is color-coded for easy operator identification purposes:

(1) Blinking Red/Yellow - the alarm is still present.

EPM-400 Rev. 21 Page 22 of 67

5.2.6 Menu Bar Command Buttons (continued)

e. Other information on the screen:

(1) Remote FIU Acknowledge Enabled - allows the system to provide remote acknowledging capabilities. That is, when an operator acknowledges an alarm on one Siren Central Computer, the alarm is also acknowledged on all of the other Siren Central Computers without any further operator intervention on those computers. A System Manager has the ability to toggle this feature on/off from this screen.

The default setting is to allow this remote acknowledging.

(2) Auto Computer Time Sync (5:00am) - is a feature that maintains time synchronization throughout the system. With this feature enabled, the Siren Central Computer will automatically synchronize the co-located MOSCAD FIU clock with the computer clock at 5:00am. With this feature enabled, the System Manager needs only to maintain the clock in this computer in order to keep the rest of the system synchronized*.

By default, only the Primary Siren Central Computer at the HNP EOF will have this feature enabled.

(3) FIU Transmit OK Interval - is the amount of time between automatic FIU-to-FIU heartbeat checks. The default is 20 minutes which generates a MOSCAD Comm. fail after 25 minutes of not communicating with one of the other FIUs. A System Manager can adjust this timing knowing that any change made to this parameter will automatically be sent to the other FIUs as it is important for all the FIUs to have the same expected timing for communication.

(4) The specific county number of sites is displayed as information only (no operator entry).

f. Repeater Status Screen The Repeater Status is color-coded for easy operator identification purposes:

(1) Blinking Red/Yellow - the alarm is still present.

(2) Blinking Green/Yellow - the alarm was there but has been resolved.

EPM-400 Rev. 21 Page 23 of 67

5.2.6 Menu Bar Command Buttons (continued)

g. Due to the importance of the proper operation of the repeaters, the system monitors the status of the repeaters very closely. The following attributes are associated with individual Repeater status:

MOSCAD Comm. Indicates the status of the radio communication link between each of the MOSCAD FIUs (FAIL/Normal).

The MOSCAD CPU gives the user the ability to switch repeaters, not communicate with sirens.

MOSCAD AC Voltage Indicates the status of the AC input voltage feeding the MOSCAD power supply (ALARM/Normal).

Repeater On/Off Indicates the current state of the Repeater (ON/OFF).

General Repeater Alarm Indicates the current hardware status of the Repeater (FAIL/Normal).

d. Contact Emergency Preparedness during normal working hours, or the duty EP person if during off-normal hours, and inform them of the situation.
e. If siren loss impacts greater than 25% of EPZ population, refer to PLP-717 and AP-617 to determine if the 8-hour condition of reportability for "Loss of Emergency Response Capability" has been exceeded.
f. If all sirens in one or more counties have accidentally sounded, notify the State EOC and Warning Point plus the County Warning Points, using the Duke Emergency Management Network (DEMNET) or other available communications system, that an inadvertent actuation of the siren system has occurred and that no emergency exists at HNP. Inform them that the state EOC is sending out an EAS message.
g. If informed by Corporate Communications that a press release has been or will be made, refer to PLP-717 and AP-617 for 4-hour NRC reportability under "Off-site Notification has been or will be made".
4. Emergency Preparedness
a. Upon receiving information that an inadvertent actuation of the siren system has occurred, Emergency Preparedness shall contact the Main Control Room and provide assistance needed to resolve the situation.

5.2.19 Siren Functionality

1. The sirens are considered functional if at least 6 of 8 cells (for 8 cell sirens) and 8 of 10 cells (for 10 cell sirens) are functional with the following exceptions:
a. Siren H07 is required to have 9 of 10 cells functional.
b. Siren L02 is required to have all 10 cells functional.
c. Siren C15 is required to have all 10 cells functional.
d. Siren C16 is required to have all 10 cells functional.
e. Siren C20 is required to have all 10 cells functional.
2. An functional siren is indicated by:
a. A full activation indication. This indicates that all drivers and amplifiers met or exceeded the minimum sound level, OR
b. The requirements of step 1 above are met. If all drivers/amplifiers did not work, a partial activation indication will result. This needs to be investigated to determine how many drivers/amplifiers worked (see next step).

EPM-400 Rev. 21 Page 40 of 67

5.2.19 Siren Functionality (continued)

3. A partial activation indicates that at least one, but not all of the sirens drivers/

amplifiers met or exceeded minimum sound level. The only way to verify how many drivers/amplifiers worked is to observe the red LED test lights at the siren cabinet during a test/activation.

a. Send an observer to the siren(s) in question.
b. Initiate a silent or growl test and have the observer note how many and which LEDs light up. The test can be initiated locally at the siren or from any of the activation points.
c. Refer to Attachment 10 for individual siren functionality determination.
4. The annual functionality of the HNP siren system is considered acceptable when an average of 90% (or greater) of the siren tests for a calendar year are successful.
