ENS 4756331 December 2011 02:00:00Information OnlyPress Release by County Concerning Errors in the 2012 Emergency Planning Zone CalendarThe licensee has received information from Oswego County Emergency Management Office concerning errors in the 2012 edition of the Oswego County Public Emergency Response Information Calendar. The 2012 calendar mailed to residents within the 10-mile emergency planning zone near the Fitzpatrick and Nine Mile Point nuclear power plants contains errors in the maps depicting the individual Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPAS). Oswego County notes that while its partners in emergency planning for the nuclear power plants work on a permanent solution, residents should retain their 2011 calendars and refer to them for the correct ERPA information if an emergency at one of the plants occurs. The calendar is a joint effort between Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, Entergy Nuclear, the Oswego County Emergency Management Office, the Oswego County Department of Community Development, Tourism and Planning, and the New York State Office of Emergency Management. It contains guidelines for public response to radiological and other types of emergencies for people that live within ten miles of the nuclear facilities at Nine Mile Point. Oswego County plans to repost the 2011 calendars (which contain accurate emergency response planning area maps) on its website, www.oswegocounty.com/emo. The 2011 calendars should be available on the website no later than Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Anyone with questions may call the Oswego County Emergency Management Office at 315-591-9150 or 1-800-962-2792. The licensee is providing this information as a courtesy notification to the NRC since the press release is being issued by Oswego County and not by the licensee. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. See related notification from Fitzpatrick - EN #47562.
ENS 4319426 February 2007 20:14:00Information OnlyVoluntary Notification Regarding Radioactive Waste Shipping Cask ConfigurationThis voluntary notification is being made to inform the NRC of a condition that may be of interest to the public. Upon arrival at the Barnwell South Carolina waste disposal facility, a shipping cask containing irradiated hardware that was shipped from Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMPNS) (Unit 2) was observed to have a number of bolts that were not fully torqued (Six of 12 bolts were not fully torqued). The subject bolts secure the cask base plate to the cask body. There was no radiological safety concern associated with the bolting condition as survey results confirmed that no radioactivity leaked from the cask. This issue has been entered into the NMPNS corrective action program and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the as-received bolting condition. The licenses notified the NRC Resident Inspector and New York Public Service Commission.
