IPEC status report for Feb. 8 Page 2 U February 8, 2006 Operational Status Indian Point Unit 2 is operating at 100% and has been online 48 days.
Indian Point Unit 3 is operating at 100% reactor power and has been on-line for 127 days.
NRC Issues Inspection Reports for IPEC The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued its 4th quarter inspection reports for IP2 and 1P3. The reports include two findings, of low safety significance, related to the siren system:
Inspectors indicated that some corrective actions for problems with the siren frame relay system, which is used to send a signal to sound the sirens, were not implemented in a timely manner. Between 2003 and 2005, Entergy identified a number of problems with the frame relay system. In August 2005, the frame relay system was unavailable for short periods. The inspection report notes that Entergy has since conducted a more thorough assessment of frame relay problems and has made upgrades in the system to improve reliability.
On August 5, 2005, Entergy identified a situation where Westchester County lost the ability to sound their sirens for a short period of time due to telecommunications work in the area. Indian Point would have been able to sound sirens in Westchester County in the event of an emergency. The other three counties maintained their ability to sound sirens. The NRC found that IPEC had not formally reported this condition to the NRC although the NRC was informally notified.
Entergy has 30-days, if it chooses to do so, to formally respond to the inspection report.
NRC Public Document Room Celebrates 50th Anniversary The NRC's public document room was 50 years old on Tuesday. The agency's predecessor, Atomic Energy Commission, opened the first public document room on Feb. 6, 1956 at its headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C.
The agency eliminated all paper copies of documents in 2000 when it switched to an electronic system.
The NRCO said the PDR received 7,423 requests for service through letters, phone calls, faxes, and walk-ins in during the 2005 fiscal year.
