The investigation of this event has concluded that EWSS siren #35 did not actuate. This conclusion was reached after interviewing residents who reside directly across the street from EWSS Siren #35, who confirmed that this siren did not actuate. Also, maintenance personnel investigations concluded that the local activation indication was erroneous, due to observed battery readings being normal. Had the siren actuated, its batteries would have been depleted or nearly depleted. | |||
The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified R2DO (Baptist). | |||
