| ENS 51724 | 10 February 2016 12:20:00 | This report is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) for any event or situation related to the health and safety of the public or on-site personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a news release is planned or notification to other government agencies has been or will be made. On February 10, 2016 at approximately 0916 EST, Entergy provided a news release of updated findings from follow-up groundwater tests at Indian Point that confirm anticipated fluctuations in tritium levels. The most recent samples from on-site groundwater monitoring wells show elevated levels of tritium. The levels of tritium identified including the new readings pose no threat to public health and safety. The tritium levels remain less than one-tenth of one percent of Federal reporting guidelines. Entergy continues to provide voluntary notifications to state agencies and stakeholders. Sampling will continue to be taken regularly from the monitoring wells in accordance with plant procedures. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
| ENS 42269 | 18 January 2006 17:29:00 | On January 18, 2006, at 12:45 hours, Westchester County Emergency Operations Center notified Indian Point that their local emergency service agencies would not be able to accomplish route alerting in the event of an emergency at Indian Point in accordance with the Emergency Plan due to weather related conditions in Westchester County. Westchester County advised that all Westchester County emergency response agencies are fully engaged in storm related responses and have no available manpower. At the time of the Westchester County notification, 18 of 79 sirens in Westchester County were without power due to weather. Westchester County was contacted by Indian Point and the use of outbound calling was discussed. Although Westchester County stated they would use outbound calling, they indicated a concern regarding the availability of the public switch network. New York State Emergency Management office was also contacted by Indian Point regarding this issue and they in turn contacted Westchester County to offer support. In addition, the other counties (Putnam, Rockland and Orange) were contacted regarding their ability to initiate route alerting. Each of the other counties confirmed their ability to perform route alerting. In accordance with NRC reporting guidelines (NUREG1022), if a significant natural hazard causes parts of the response infrastructure to be impaired to the extent that the State and local governments are rendered incapable of fulfilling their responsibilities in the Emergency Plan for the plant, the NRC must be notified. Therefore, based on Westchester County's stated condition, an 8-hour non-emergency notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The condition was recorded in the Indian Point Energy Center Corrective Action Program as CR-IP2-2006-00256 and actions have been initiated to investigate and correct the condition. The notification of the loss of sirens was reported at 11:57 hours, by Event Notification log No. 42266. At 16:41 hours, Westchester County advised Indian Point that local municipalities will be able to handle required route alerting responsibilities if there is an event at Indian Point. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
| ENS 42266 | 18 January 2006 11:57:00 | On January 18, 2006, at 08:48 hours, Emergency Planning determined that greater than 15 of a total of 156 sirens were reported as unavailable due to weather related loss of power as a result of high winds. In accordance with the Indian Point reporting procedure, the loss of 16 or more sirens that can not be returned to service in one hour, constitutes a major loss of the offsite notification capability that requires an 8-hour non-emergency notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The condition was recorded in the Indian Point Energy Center Corrective Action Program as CR-IP2-2006-00246 and actions have been initiated to investigate and correct the condition. As of 11:40 EST on 01/18/06 there were 31 of 156 sirens out of service. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, as well as the Counties of Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange. |
