On August 2, 2006 at approximately 0006 hoOn August 2, 2006 at approximately 0006 hours, the Emergency Planning Department determined that all of the 156 sirens in the Indian Point Energy Center, Emergency Planning Zone were unavailable due to, an inability to activate the sirens through the computer operating system. In accordance with the Indian Point reporting criteria, the loss of 16 or more sirens that cannot 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 10CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii).</br>The Emergency Plan has route alerting and public radio announcement available as necessary to notify the public in lieu of the non-operational sirens.</br>The condition was recorded in the IPEC Corrective Action Program as CR# 1P2-2006-04625 and actions have been initiated to investigate and correct the condition.</br>Troubleshooting continues. The cause of failure is still unknown at this time.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, state, and local agencies of this event.</br>* * * UPDATE ON 08/02/06 AT 1417 EDT FROM BRIAN ROKES TO MIKE RIPLEY * * *</br>Update to the initial notification provided at 0449 hours on August 2, 2006, regarding the inability to activate the 156 sirens of the Indian Point Entergy Center (IPEC) offsite Emergency Notification System (ENS) through its computer operating system. The capability to activate the IPEC ENS was returned to service at 0635 hours. The total time the ENS sirens were unavailable was approximately 6 1/2 hours. During the event, route alerting and public radio announcement was available as necessary to notify the public. Troubleshooting identified two problems; a hardware problem with drive failures, and a problem with the computer system where the Oracle database control file synchronism failed. These failures resulted in the inability of the ENS computer system to connect to the Oracle database which prevented ENS from being activated. The computer drives were replaced and operating system data file error corrected. Troubleshooting is continuing to identify the cause. The IPEC Corrective Action Program recorded the event as CR-IP2-2006-04625 and will identify any additional corrective actions to prevent recurrence.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, state, and local agencies of this event.</br>Notified R1 DO (P.
