At 1505 hrs. on Friday August 29, 2003, TMAt 1505 hrs. on Friday August 29, 2003, TMI Unit 1 determined that there had been a degradation of the emergency preparedness response capabilities when there was a loss of the Emergency Notification System (ENS), the Health Physics Network (HPN) and the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS). In addition most site telephone lines were inoperable. The loss of these communications systems was most probably caused by a lightning strike. Limited telephonic communications remains with the TMI 1 control room, i.e., one commercial phone exchange, a satellite phone and the emergency management phone circuit remain operable.</br>TMI 1 has verified operability of the ERO notification system (pagers), and the communication circuit used to notify the state and local counties. The siren system for local counties was unaffected by loss of site telephone systems. Plant page and radio systems remain operable.
