.. .. . . ..... ......... pag e 2Z July 14, 2006 Operational Status Indian Point Unit 2 is operating at 100% power and has been on line 57 days. Unit 3 is also operating at 100% power has been on line 7 days.

Entergy Provides Update on New IPEC Siren System Entergy recently updated representatives from Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Putnam counties, the federal Department of Homeland Security and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the Indian Point Energy Center Siren Installation Project.

Meeting at the Rockland County Fire Training Center, Entergy, and the siren system design firm briefed representatives on the increase of the total number of sirens to 149, up from the original 131. Entergy and the siren vendor based this design change on acoustic studies and federal regulatory guidance.

"Most of the new 18 sirens would add coverage between the IPEC 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone and geopolitical boundaries," said Mike Slobodien, director of emergency programs for Entergy. "These additional sirens would also help eliminate route alerting in public parks." Some of the new sirens will be powered by solar panels, using batteries as a back-up power source.

"The sound of the new sirens is cumulatively more effective than IPEC's current siren system," notes Tim Garvey, senior project manager who's overseeing the siren installation project. "IPEC's current sirens rotate which results in sound variations. With the new omni-directional system, the sirens will be louder because of the multiple speakers on each pole."

Additionally, the new system will have two separate communications paths-radio and.wireless cellular network-enhancing the system's reliability, eliminating single points of failure and verifying siren actuation within 1 to 4 minutes.

Entergy expects to complete the siren installation in the fall. As each siren is completed, the power hook-up is also being installed to ensure that the back-up batteries at each siren is charged.
