Response to IE Bulletin 80-15 Dresden Station Units 1, 2, and 3 Item 1.
Illinois Bell (IBT) was contacted to verify whether the Fmergency Notification System (ENS) phone was powcred by a " station package" located in IBT's Morris, Illinois office, as indicated by the Bulletin.
IBT insisted that no representative was needed for on-site verification, that their records were accurate anddthe ENS system was powered by their Morris office.
Items 2 Per Item 3 of the Bulletin, a test was conducted on 3, and 4 August 15 simulating a loss of off-site power to the PBX room where the telephone equipment is located.
In conducting this test, we discovered the ENS system was inoperable, indicating that it was powered by on-aite power, not the local telephone company as was indicated in Item 1.
The NRC Op3 rations Center was notified,as I
required by Item'4 of the Bulletin.
Per Item 2 of the Bullet.n, the NRC requires emergency power to be installed where the ENS phones are affected by a loss of off-site power.
We are currently inves-tigating how to satisfy this requirement with IBT.
We will procend to make changes in a timely manner, con-tingent on equipment delivery.
Item 5 Operating order 26-80 and EPIP 500-7 were changed, re-quiring notification of the NRC Operations Center within one hour of the discovery of any inoperable extension of the ENS system.
