17. CNS STATE NOTIFICATION TELEPHONE

[ ] 17.1 If a declared emergency takes place at CNS, emergency notifications are made to the State of Nebraska, State of Missouri, Atchison County, Missouri, and Nemaha County, Nebraska, using the CNS State Notification Telephone.

[ 17.2 CNS State Notification Telephones are located in the Control Room, TSC, and EOF.

[ 17.3 The CNS State Notification Telephones are programmed to provide automatic conference-calling. When the handset to this telephone is picked up and the "Group Call" button is pushed, dedicated telephones will be dialed and ring at Nebraska State Patrol, Missouri State Patrol, Atchison County Sheriffs Department, and Nemaha County Sheriffs Department. The utilization of law enforcement agencies as initial points of contact provides for 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coverage.

[1] 17.3.1 The dedicated lines listed also have extension lines which ring at the following facilities respectively: Nebraska State Civil Defense EOC, Missouri State Emergency Management EOC, Atchison County EOC, and Nemaha County EOC.

[1] 17.3.2 Once the EOCs become operational, notifications may be made to the EOCs with concurrence between the respective EOC and law enforcement agency.

18. CNS AUTOMATED NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (CNS ANS)

[ ] 18.1 The CNS Automated Notification System (CNS ANS), located in the EOF, is a PC loaded with software provided by Dialogics Communications Inc. The system has access to multiple inbound and outbound telephone lines. The system is interactive with the user, similar to the "Voice Mail" system used at CNS. There is a system printer attached and it also has FAX and Modem capabilities. A variety of reports can be generated at the system control console. Reports can be printed to any location having a FAX machine.

[] 18.1.1 The system has been programmed by the Emergency Preparedness Staff with several pre-defined scenarios which cover the spectrum of Emergency Classifications and the associated ERO response desired.

Following declaration of Alert or higher the CNS ANS will activate all ERO pagers issued from CNS.

I PROCEDURE 5.7COMMUN I REVISION 1 _ PAGE 13 OF22

[] 18.1.2 Simultaneously, the system will start to place outbound telephone calls to non-pager carriers, while accepting inbound calls from pager carriers calling back in response to the global page. The CNS ANS will provide the responder with information concerning the emergency event and expected response. The system will also request specific information from the responder and ask yes or no questions. For the system to be able to interact with responders, the responder must have a touch-tone telephone. Some telephones are "pulse-tone switchable". They have a pulse/tone switch allowing their operating mode to be selected, depending upon the type of telephone service provided by the local telephone company. The switch in this type of phone must be in the tone position when interfacing with the CNS ANS.

[] 18.1.3 The system has been programmed to prompt the System Operator to record a "Current Scenario Message". A "Current Scenario Message" should contain information such as the applicable EAL, information the responder needs to know regarding his safety prior to arriving at CNS, or specific information relevant to the emergency. In most cases, it is at the discretion of the Emergency Director to determine if such a message is necessary.

[] 18.1.4 The system may be programmed to print reports at the Emergency Response Facilities. These reports identify the personnel responding to the plant to fill identified positions, and their approximate times of arrival. These reports will be used by ERO Facility Management to ensure staffing requirements are met.

l ] 18.2 Responding to the CNS ANS by telephone:

[1] 18.2.1 When the CNS ANS calls out to personnel at home, the call flow is virtually identical to when personnel call in to it. The CNS ANS will not ask to speak to a specific individual. It will identify itself, prompt for the entry of a security badge number, and wait several seconds for the information to be entered. If no information is entered, it will prompt again and wait. If after three attempts no information is entered, the system will hang up and call other personnel.

I PROCEDURE 5.7COMMUN I REVISION 1 l PAGE 14 OF 22 l

[] 18.2.2 When calling in to the CNS ANS, please be aware that the CNS ANS has access to a limited number of inbound lines and there are hundreds of pagers issued at CNS. It will take several minutes for the system to process all calls. Be patient and if necessary, make more than one attempt to call back. If you keep getting a busy signal, wait a minute before calling again. For notification to be completely successful, you MUST make contact with the system. You may be placed on HOLD and hear music or speech telling you your call will be answered in the order it was received. Your call will ring through when a line is open.

[] 18.2.3 Follow the instructions provided by the CNS ANS. The CNS ANS will ask for your 4 digit security badge number. Be sure to include any zeros (i.e., 0008, 0027, 0276, 2080, etc.). After you enter your badge number, press the # key.

[I 18.2.4 All information requested by the system is verified after entry. This is done by a repeat back of the information and then a request to enter a 9 for YES or 6 for NO as to the correctness of the information.

[I] 18.2.5 Do not hang up until you hear the system say "Thank you, Goodbye".

Only then will you know that you have provided all the necessary information.

19. ALTERNATE INTERCOM SYSTEM (Bone Phones)

I ATTACHMENT 2 INFORMATION SHEET DISCUSSION 1.1 FUNCTION 1.1.1 The Communications System at CNS provides station personnel with redundant, reliable communications capabilities for both on-site and off-site communications.

1.2 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS 1.2.1 The telephone system (PBX) provides voice communication between virtually all buildings, offices, and operation facilities within the station. The telephone system also provides communications between the plant and off-site facilities via the telephone switchboard network.

The system allows operating crews to alert plant personnel in emergencies. The telephone company provides the normal and leased line services. NPPD owns all on-site telephone communications (PBX, telephones, bypass telephones, alternate intercom, and cell-phones),

with the exception of the FTS 2001 network (7 circuits belonging to NRC), and NAWVAS.

1.2.2 In the event of a loss of AC power to the telephone system, backup batteries are provided. In accordance with the Emergency Plan for Cooper Nuclear Station, these batteries can sustain continued operation for - 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

1.2.3 The gaitronics system permits communication between the different parts of the plant and it also incorporates a public address system for plant wide announcements. The plant system receives normal power from NBPP and alternate power from CPP. A selector switch located near NBPP is used to select normal or alternate power. The Simulator system receives its power from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) located in the Training Center. The plant and Simulator system page and party lines are normally isolated from each other but can be connected during emergency drills, etc. There are two types of gaitronics stations throughout the plant. The first type is a single channel unit. The single channel has a paging channel and a single party line. The second type is a five channel unit. The five channel units have a paging channel and five party lines. Channel 1 and the paging channels are common to both types of units. The emergency signals override other uses of the gaitronics.

There are three emergency signals: fire alarm (pulse tone),

emergency alarm (steady tone), and an all clear alarm (up and down tone).

PROCEDURE 5.7COMMUN REVISION 1 PAGE 19 OF 22

ATTACHMENT 2 INFORMATION SHEET 1.2.4 The sound power system provides for direct, self-powered communication paths between various plant locations for the purpose of facilitating equipment maintenance/operation.

1.2.5 The site 450 MHz (UHF) radio system uses two repeaters, Base 1 and Base 2. These repeaters operate on different frequencies. All remote control, portable, and mobile units are capable of selecting either repeater.

1.2.5.1 Security normally uses Base 1 exclusively with Operations monitoring in the Control Room. Fire Brigade normally uses Base 2. When Operations needs to communicate using a repeater system, Base 2 will normally be utilized.

1.2.5.2 Paging service is leased from a service provider. Each pager has an individual activation number, but may also be programmed into 'groups'. An "All-Call" group is normally used when notifying the ERO. Instructions on the various types of pagers are provided to the users upon issue.

1.2.5.3 Cross-band communication with local law enforcement can be accomplished on Base 1 or Base 2 by sending encoder tones. The Nemaha County Sheriffs Department has a monitor receiver for each CNS base. The Control Room and Security have monitor receivers on the Sheriffs radio frequency.

1.2.5.4 The CNS ambulance is equipped with a radio on the state emergency medical frequency, and can communicate directly with the Sheriffs Office and/or hospitals monitoring the state emergency medical frequency. The CNS ambulance can also communicate with the site on the 450 MHZ (UHF) radios.

1.2.6 The District's state-wide radio system allows for communication with other base stations and mobile or portable units on the state-wide system. This radio is controlled from remote control consoles located at the EOF, AEOF, TSC, Control Room, CNS 345 kV Substation Building, and the York Regional Dispatcher.

1.2.7 The NAWAS System provides communication with various state, national, and local early warning systems. Periodic tests are conducted on this system.

PROCEDURE 5.7COMMUN REVISION 1 PAGE 20 OF 22

ATTACHMENT 2 INFORMATION SHEET 1.2.8 The Emergency Notification System (ENS) telephone is the primary means for the plant to report emergencies and other significant events to the NRC Headquarters. The Plant Manager, STE, SS, or Shift Communicator will establish this link by dialing the number(s) listed on the telephone. When NRC Operations Center is activated in response to a station emergency, ENS may become a dedicated open line to NRC for transmission of operational data. If an incident has little potential for impacting public health and safety, the NRC Duty Officer will only collect relevant information and then terminate the conversation.

1.2.9 CNS is required to assign an individual to maintain continuous communication with the NRC via ENS until the NRC decides that the event has been successfully terminated or additional communication is unnecessary. Each station of the ENS will be tested monthly as a preventive maintenance item.

1.2.10 The Health Physics Network (HPN) and Emergency Notification System (ENS) provides communications between NRC and CNS during an emergency. The HPN telephone is for use during plant emergencies and other significant events. The NRC will establish this link if necessary and will direct station personnel when to terminate the link. Each station of the HPN will be tested monthly as a preventive maintenance item.

1.2.11 The CNS State Notification Telephone System is the primary means for the plant to make emergency notifications to state and local authorities. This system provides direct communication with the Nebraska State Patrol, the Missouri State Patrol, the Atchison County Sheriffs Department, and the Nemaha County Sheriffs Department. The utilization of law enforcement agencies as an initial point of contact provides for 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coverage. The dedicated lines listed also have extension lines which ring at the following facilities respectively: Nebraska State Civil Defense EOC, Missouri State Emergency Management EOC, Atchison County EOC, and Nemaha County EOC. Once the EOCs become operational, notifications may be made using the extension lines at the EOC with concurrence between the respective EOC and law enforcement agency.

1.2.12 The Alternate Intercom (bonephone) system provides an alternate telephone system for on-site communications utilizing the station tone commander microwave system. This system has a battery backup.
