Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Ib.1 Docket Ib. 50-334, License Ib. DPR-66 Beaver Valley Power Station Emergency Preparedness Plan NBC Inspection No. 50-334/82-15 Close-out letter Gentlenen:

The purpose of this letter is to infom you of actions taken in regard to items identified in section C of the inspection critique.

'Ihe problem with the sirens was largely a logistics problem. In June, the county EOC was relocated. As a result of the move, the Duquesne Light Company remote radio console had to be moved to the new location and connected by Bell telephone line back to the radio base station, which remained at the original location. Tne added length resulted in an attenuation of the audio signal to a level below that required to key the radio base station. Therefore, the signal was not strong enough to activate the receivers at the siren sites.

As noted in your report the problan encountered with the siren system has been corrected. 'Ihe line level of the radio base station has been turned up ensuring an adequate signal to activate the system. To ensure system operability and verify adequate transmission in the future, Duquesne Light Cmpany will perfom a mcnthly test verification of the cmtrol system in Colunbiana County, in addition to the scheduled testing of the siren units.
