20555 June 18, 1980 IE Bulletin flo. 80-15 POSSIBLE LOSS OF EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (Ells) WITH LOSS OF 0FFSITE POWER In the past year, there have been two occurrences where a loss of off-site power has resulted in a loss of communications between a power reactor facility and the f1RC Operations Center via the Emergency Notification System (ENS).
The most recent occurrence was at Indian Point Unit 2 on June 3,1980.
The earlier event occurred at the Davis Besse facility on October 15, 1979 and resulted in the issuance of IE Circular 80-09.
The installation of the ENS requires a station package which operates on 110 VAC.
In some cases, the station package is located at the local telephone company which supplies the required power for normal operation and emergency power for operation during abnormal occurrences, but in many cases, the package is located at the site and is served by on-site power.
In some cases where the station package is served by on-site power, the station package has not been backed up by emergency power.
NRC data indicates that the station packages for each facility are powered in the manner described in the two enclosures.
Actions to be taken by all licensees:
1.
Within 10 days of the date of this Bulletin, verify by direct inspection, in conjunction with the appropriate telephone company representative, that the Ells at your facility is powered in the manner described in the two enclosures.
2.
Those facilities.which have station packages requiring on-site power, but which are not connected to a safeguards instrumentation bus which is brcked up by batteries and an inverter or equally reliable power supply, shall make necessary modifications and provide such a connection.
3.
All facilities are to develop and conduct a test, within 60 days of the issuance of this Bulletin, to verify that all extensions of the Ells located at your facility (ies) would remain fully operable from the facility (ies) to the NRC Operations Center in the event of a loss of offsite power to your facilit les to mean that an actual DUPLICATE DOCUMENT Entire document previously enteredintoWsstemunder:q oo oSb O7sl wO l
