SUMMARY
This report describes the Alert and Notification System (ANS) for the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) in Buchanan, New York.The IPEC ANS consists of sirens, broadcasted emergency information, and high speed telephone notification.
This system meets the guidelines set forth in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) regulations, 44 CFR Part 350, Planning Standard E, Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, and the Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants (FEMA-REP-10).
The siren system described in this report, in conjunction with other elements of the ANS, achieves the design objectives for coverage specified in Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/
FEMA-REP-1, and FEMA-REP-10 section E.6.2 in that together they meet the following criteria: "Capability for providing both an alert signal and informational or instructional message to the population on an area wide basis throughout the EPZ, within 15 minutes.""The initial notification system will assure direct coverage of essentially 100% of the population within 5 miles of the site.""Special arrangements will be made to assure 100% coverage within 45 minutes of the population who may not have received the initial notification within the entire plume exposure EPZ." The ANS relies on omni-directional and bi-directional electronic sirens broadcasting an audible sound tone signal at 576 Hertz to alert the public to obtain information.
This information is provided from commercial broadcast networks that participate in the Emergency Alert System (EAS).The counties located in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) also have arrangements to assure that there is essentially 100% coverage of the population who may not have received the initial alert. In the event of a siren failure, backup alerting will be provided by a high speed telephone calling system capable of delivering geographically customized pre-recorded emergency messages.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)were used to define the messaging area for each siren based on the acoustic coverage that would be potentially affected by a failure of that siren.Additionally, Tone Alert Radios (TARs) are distributed to special use facilities such as schools and hospitals within the EPZ. Special use facilities are defined as those facilities where a concentration of people are located such as schools, hospitals and industrial or commercial facilities.
The TARs are a discretionary method used to augment the siren alerting system; they are not a primary alerting method. On an annual basis, IPEC provides guidance to these facilities on the use and testing of the TARs.1-1 This report describes the technical features of the siren system including siren features and placement, sound propagation acoustic modeling, control and communications systems, system operation, testing and maintenance, and backup power capabilities.
1-2 2 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND In compliance with Section 651(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, IPEC installed a new ANS system consisting of fixed electronic sirens capable of providing an alert for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after a loss of normal AC power. The battery backup power feature ensures system components operate securely in the event of power failure.Fixed omni-directional and bi-directional sirens were selected over rotating sirens to maximize the reliability of the system and avoid the problems the previously installed rotating sirens had experienced.
Fixed sirens also provide a uniform sound output which provides better sound coverage than rotating sirens. The number of sirens was also increased over the previous system to provide better sound coverage.
As a result, route alerting was able to be eliminated in the Harriman and Bear Mountain Parks.The sirens were installed on steel poles which extend pole life and withstand environmental challenges.
Additionally, susceptible siren wiring is protected from damage because they are installed within the metal poles.The design of the new system minimizes single points of failure. For example, numerous design features have been incorporated to provide for multiple communication paths.2-1 3 SITE DESCRIPTION The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east side of the Hudson River in the Village of Buchanan, New York. Two active and one partially decommissioned nuclear generating units are located at the site and are owned and operated by Entergy Nuclear. The area within the EPZ is entirely within New York State, and includes portions of four counties:
Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester.
Population densities within the EPZ range are indicated in Figure 3-1. Population density data are also shown in Map 2 (Appendix K).The general landscape of the area around Indian Point consists of bedrock-supported ridges that generally follow northeasterly structural trends with rather steep and broad swampy valleys. The entire EPZ is mostly characterized by heavy tree cover.Deciduous species constitute the majority of this cover. In the low-lying areas, elevations range from 50 to 300 feet above mean sea level. The highest elevations in the region are within the Palisades Interstate Park System and are approximately 1,300 feet. These steep, heavily wooded slopes of the Dunderberg and West Mountains to the west-southwest typify the western area of the EPZ. To the east, peaks are generally lower than those to the north and west. In this area, Spitzenberg and the Blue Mountains average 600 feet in height and there is a weak, poorly defined series of ridges, which run mainly in a north-northwesterly direction.
3-1 Figure 3-1. Population Density from Year 2000 Census Data within the EPZ of Indian Point Energy Center IPEC EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE -POPULATION DENSITY *Based on 20O0 Census in 5-~#05 1~J The EPZ is bisected in a north-south direction by the Hudson River, which separates Westchester and Putnam Counties on the east from Rockland and Orange Counties on the west.3-2 4 DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS The following demographic features characterize the area around the Indian Point Energy Center:* Areas with population densities above 2000 people per square mile* Inhabited areas with population densities below 2000 people per square mile" Rural areas with sparse population densities* Parklands, and* Military facilities.
The Indian Point Energy Center is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, in Westchester County, approximately 35 miles north of Times Square in New York City and approximately two miles southwest of the City of Peekskill.
The major populated areas are located in the northwest region of Westchester County and the northeast region of Rockland County. In Westchester, the municipalities that contain areas that exceed 2000 people per square mile are Peekskill, Ossining, Cortlandt, Yorktown, Croton-on-Hudson and Lake Mohegan. In Rockland County, Stony Point, Haverstraw and Clarkstown have areas that exceed 2000 people per square mile.Other municipalities with populations exceeding 2000 people per square mile are Lake Peekskill and Putnam Valley in Putnam County, and Highland Falls and Fort Montgomery in Orange County.The 2000 Census is the source of the population data used in the design report. The 2000 Census data showed that the population within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone of Indian Point was 297,733 people. The total resident population within a two mile radius of Indian Point is 12,154 and within a five-mile radius is 77,331.Population density data was determined by the State of New York and is shown on Figure 3-1.4-1 5 PARKS, MILITARY AND SPECIAL USE FACILITIES Within the EPZ of the Indian Point Energy Center there are several parks and military facilities, especially on the west side of the Hudson River in Rockland and Orange Counties.
These include Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks in the Palisades Interstate Park System (PIP), and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Camp Smith is a military facility on the east side of the Hudson River north of IPEC. The siren system described herein covers these locations except as noted below.Alerting at the West Point Military Academy is provided by a combination of sirens and their own institutional alerting system. A special Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) telephone line has been installed between the control rooms at the Indian Point Energy Center and the West Point Military Pol ice/Ope rations Center and is tested routinely.
Alerting information is provided to West Point in the same time frame as the state and county officials.
Upon receiving a notification on the RECS telephone line, West Point will initiate its own alert / notification actions.Siren sound coverage is provided to Camp Smith. Upon activation of the sirens and receipt of the alert message, Camp Smith initiates actions based on their procedures.
5-1 6 METEROLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS The EPZ climate is broadly representative of the humid continental type, which prevails in the northeastern United States. Winters can bring periods of below freezing temperatures and snowfall to the area while the spring, summer and fall are generally mild. There is occasional humidity in the summer. FEMA-REP-10 guidelines state that the average summer daytime weather conditions be used to calculate siren sound contours.
Average summer daytime weather conditions from the IPEC Met Tower and surrounding airports were used as input for the computer model analyses for siren acoustic coverage.Conditions for June, July and August, were used to assess levels of temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed to determine the summer daytime averages for these parameters., The following data for the average daytime meteorological conditions were used in the computer analysis for the siren sound coverage: Temperature:
78 degrees Fahrenheit.
Relative Humidity:
61 %Wind Speed: 7.9 mph Wind Direction (from): 210 degrees As FEMA's CPG 17 (Section V) explains, as sound propagates outdoors, it is affected by among other things, atmospheric conditions.
Slight changes in the wind speed and direction, variability in the temperature, and small scale local turbulence in the air all contribute to the variations in the sound propagation path from the source to the receiver. ,For small propagation distances, the variations are small. However, when the propagation distances become large, the effects increase.
For a steady, omni-directional source propagating across 5000 feet of flat ground, micro variations in the atmospheric conditions can produce as much as a 10 dB fluctuation in the received noise over just a few seconds. These impacts have been studied over the years and several research papers have been written about this effect. Because of this variability, it is not possible to infer the steadiness of a signal after it has propagated over long distances.
In other words, a variable signal measured far from the source does not imply that the source itself is unsteady.
This is backed by a long history of outdoor noise measurements and modeling.The recent testing conducted for Entergy at the Georgia Tech Research Institute showed significant variation in the received siren signal for distances as short as 400 feet.Several cases show that, while general meteorological conditions remained steady, the received noise from a steady signal varied as much as 8 dB over the 4 minutes of the test.6-1 7 SIREN CHARACTERISTICS The IPEC siren system design utilizes fixed (non-rotating) outdoor electronic warning sirens manufactured by Acoustic Technology Inc. (ATI). Specifically, the ATI HPSS32 stationary siren model, primarily in an omni-directional configuration, is used. Sirens are mounted on Class II steel poles at 50 feet above the ground with the exception of five sirens (246, 247, 248, 370, and 371) that are currently mounted on wood poles. The wood poles are scheduled to be replaced with steel poles during the project to remove the old system.A statistical analysis was performed utilizing 52 independent speaker pair measurements that were taken in the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) anechoic chamber. The mean sound pressure level of the sample population was 115 dBC Leq with a standard deviation of 0.5 dBC. Using a Chi-Squared analysis, the minimum siren level output is 114 dBC Leq, at the 95% confidence level, for any remaining siren in the total population.
Field testing was also performed on 28 siren speaker pairs. The range of the sample pairs for this field testing was 115.2 to 117.4 dBC Leq. In addition, Lmax was consistently measured about 2-3 dBC higher than the Leq value.The statistically minimum siren output of 114 dBC Leq is used in the sound contour model notwithstanding the fact that the actual output was measured at consistently higher values, thus providing a margin in sound coverage.At 15 locations, a bi-directional beam configuration, rather than omni-directional, is used to direct sound in two primary directions to provide the most effective coverage of the area. In these cases, an 800-watt or 1600-watt speaker-pair produces a sound output level of 114 dBC Leq and 116 dBC Leq, respectively at 100 feet in the direction of each speaker-pair based on measurements taken at GTRI. For both the omni-directional ahd bi-directional configurations, a 576Hz fundamental tone frequency was used in the computer analysis of the model.According to ANSI 12.14-1992, the sound pressure level contour calculation depends upon the accuracy of the determination of siren output at 100 feet from the siren, on-axis at siren height. There are two acceptable methods to determine siren output in accordance with FEMA-REP-10:
(1) field measurements around at least one-siren of each type used within the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) or (2) anechoic chamber tests, in a laboratory whose chamber meets qualification standards, on sirens that are representative of each type used in the EPZ. Because of the variability of field measurements which can be significantly affected by uncontrollable environmental factors, IPEC concluded that the anechoic chamber measurements extrapolated out to 100 feet would provide a conservative representation of the true siren output, thereby providing margin in sound coverage.The independent acoustic rating from the Georgia Tech Research Institute
-Anechoic Chamber Testing for both the omni-directional and the bi-directional sirens is provided in Appendix B.Table 7-1 provides the location and type (omni-directional or bi-directional) of each of the sirens in the system.7-1 Table 7-1.

Number of Sirens by County-- Nw Sstem- Iumber of Sirens, Total Westchester 76 Rockland 53 Orange 23 Putnam 15 Total 167 Sirens Electronic stationary sirens are used in this system. The sirens provide reliable alarm tone notification for warning areas in a community and are capable of voice reproduction when enabled. This omni-directional electronic siren configuration (Figure 8-1) is certified to produce a 360-degree pattern of at least 114 dBC Leq sound pressure (rated at 100 feet on axis at siren height). The bi-directional electronic siren configuration (Figure 8-2) is certified to produce a sound pressure level of at least 114 dBC Leq for each 800 watt beam or 116 dBC Leq for each 1600 watt beam (rated at 100 feet on axis at siren height). The sound pattern from multiple fixed omni-directional sirens is designed to provide a greater added effect by creating an increased sound level exposure at full volume, compared to the previous design that used rotating sirens.Stationary sirens are advantageous since they maintain a constant output level in all directions.
The design of the speaker assembly allows the siren to still operate even if some drivers were to fail although there would be a reduction in sound output. The siren units are driven by battery power with sufficient capacity to provide 15 minutes of operation after a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> loss of external power. There are 167 sirens in the Indian Point warning system. Of those, 136 sirens use essentially the same locations as the previous rotating sirens they are replacing, while the remaining 31 are in new locations.

Typical Stationary Bi-Directional Siren in New System Bi-directional Stationary Electronic Siren 1600 Wtt Acoustic Beam 8-2 Siren Station Components Each omni-directional siren includes the following components:
- Eight Horns (HPSS32), each containing four 100-watt compression drivers* NEMA 4X Stainless Steel Enclosure with three separate compartments:
an upper compartment for the electronics and two lower ventilated compartments for the batteries." Siren Amplifier Controller Board* Auxiliary Amplifier Board" Wireless Radio* Wireless Modem* Temperature-compensated Battery Charger* On/Off Switch for the Battery Charger* On/Off Circuit Breakers for Siren Power* On/Off Circuit Breakers for heater* Four 12V, Gel Cell Batteries* Intrusion Switch* Battery Heater and Thermostat
- Cell Antenna* Omni-Directional or YAGI (directional)
Antenna with low loss coaxial cable The omni-directional High Power Speaker Station (HPSS32) in the IPEC system utilizes the model TH 300 speaker and is a state-of-the-art electronic siren capable of producing 3200 watts of audio power (400 watts per speaker) and includes all of the above components.
It uses advanced microprocessor-based circuitry.
Two different bi-directional configurations are used. In the first configuration, the bi-directional HPSS32 which utilizes the model TH 400 speaker is capable of producing 3200 watts (800 watts per speaker) and also includes all of the above components, except that it uses four speakers (two per direction, configured vertically), each containing two 400-watt compression drivers.In the second configuration, the bi-directional HPSS32 which is an omni-directional HPSS32 (utilizing the model TH 300 speaker) with two pairs of speakers enabled, is capable of producing 1600 watts (400 watt per speaker), and includes all of the above 8-3 components, except uses four speakers (two per direction, configured vertically), each containing four 100-watt compression drivers.The HPSS32 sirens are 24V DC powered sirens using deep cycle gel cell batteries which are trickle charged with an 8 Amp temperature-compensated Battery Charger.Seven (7) sirens are solar powered.The electronics and batteries are housed in a stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure (see Figure 8-3) as a standard feature, providing protection from adverse outdoor weather conditions.
With AC power available, the battery compartment is heated, thus enabling the batteries to function at full capacity when the outside temperature drops.The HPSS enclosure (NEMA 4X) contains the ATI Siren Amplifier Controller Board (SAB), which integrates both the microprocessor control and audio amplifier circuitries.
It contains a control section, communication section, input/output section, and 1600W amplifier section. The Auxiliary Amplifier Board contains an additional 1600 W amplifier section.The HPSS enclosure also contains a highly efficient audio amplifier design (up to 95%), resulting in very low heat dissipation during standard operation with lower power requirements, leading to longer battery life.Figure 8-3. Typical Siren Equipment and Control Enclosure NEMA 4X Siren Equipment and Control Enclosure 8-amp efficient temperature compensated battery charger Two banks of batteries Four gel cell deep cycle batteries The SAB board is a microprocessor-based board. It has an embedded modem, analog to digital converter, serial port interfaces, and a wireless communication interface.
The board is programmed from a regular PC using a special utility program.8-4 The communication section of the board interfaces to an off-the-shelf wireless radio.The radio is used to send and receive wireless messages to and from the control station incorporating Frequency Shift 'Keying (FSK) data transmission schemes. The board will perform specific activations dependent upon the wireless messages sent by the control station in addition to responding to other types of service messages, (i.e. polling, acknowledgements, and synchronization messages).
The board will report to the control station any local faults, such as intrusion, AC and/or charger failures, and low battery conditions.
A redundant communication path using TCP/IP protocol is also available.
The siren controller board interfaces to a wireless modem.The board monitors the battery voltage of the siren internally and the charger voltage. It will enter Power Shutdown Mode if the battery voltage goes below a pre-set value and generates an alarm report.Control System The communication control system uses eleven (1-1) control stations that are designed to have complete control and monitoring capabilities over all sirens in the system. Each control station includes a REACT-4000 Communication Control Unit (CCU), TCP/IP cell modem with an attached computer, LCID monitor, printer, keyboard, track ball, batteries, and uninterruptible power supply, all generally within a rack-mounted enclosure (See Figure 8-5). There are two (2) control stations located at Indian Point Energy Center that control all 167 sirens. There are three (3) control stations located in Westchester County controlling 76 sirens, two (2) control stations located in Putnam County controlling 15 sirens, two (2) control stations located in Orange County controlling 23 sirens, and two (2) control stations located in Rockland County controlling 53 sirens. Table 8-2 lists the locations of the control stations.Each county has complete activation control and monitoring over the sirens used to alert its county from all control stations located within its county and can monitor the activation of all sirens via the computer display. Each county can also monitor sirens from bordering counties that may affect their county. All counties can also activate other counties' sirens if agreed upon. The two control stations at IPEC can also activate all of the sirens if needed.All control stations have battery back-up power capable of providing a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours of operation in case of primary power failure. The system incorporates reliable communication and post activation polling using radio and TCP/IP communication.

The overall system showing both paths is illustrated in Figure 8-6. The design eliminates single points of siren communication failures since multiple control stations can communicate to every assigned siren by either communication path. To further increase the Radio Frequency (RF) system reliability, all activation transmission messages are sent out multiple times.By sending out multiple redundant activation messages, the probability of all desired sirens activating is increased even in the presence of random radio interference.

Only one of the redundant simulcast paths is configured to be used at a time to transmit signals. Dual antennas (one for each radio path) are located at each of the four tower sites (IPEC Met Tower, Harriman, Grasslands, and Tinker Hill Towers), and they are used in the communication paths between the control stations, towers, and sirens.8-8 All radio communication, equipment used in the microwave communication path (control stations, towers and.sirens) has a confirmed battery backup for at least twenty-four (24)hours of operation in case of AC power loss. This same backup is provided for the Telco Ti path with the exception that the commercial carrier has not confirmed a 24-hour backup capability for the Telco Ti lines.A cellular TCP/IP data network that uses cellular data modems provides redundant communications between all control stations and sirens. Cell modems and antennas are located at all sirens and control stations.
Signals are transmitted using commercial carriers, and they seek out appropriate paths between the control stations and sirens.Communications equipment that is physically located at the sirens and control stations use the same backup battery supplies that are used for the radio communications channel. However, the cell modem commercial carrier has not confirmed a 24-hour backup capability on loss of AC power.By using the simulcast radio system and the cellular modem communications paths concurrently and in a parallel manner for all communications between the control stations and the sirens, a reliable communication system is achieved.
Each communication path is designed to achieve reliable delivery of a successful activation message from any control stations.8-9 9 SIREN COMMUNICATION AND CONTROL Control Control, as used herein, refers to those functions that are used to activate the sirens, monitor siren system functionality, and receive condition status and alarms from the sirens.The siren control system consists of eleven independent and redundant control stations.Each county has at least two control stations.
One is located at each county's Warning Point (WP) that is manned continually on a round-the-clock basis. Another station is located at each county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Westchester County has a third control station located at its backup EOC. Two control stations are located at IPEC.Each control station consists of one computer system, one cell modem for TCP/IP communications, one REACT 4000 Communications Control Unit (CCU) for radio communications, and a UPS and backup batteries.
The computer runs control and monitoring software.The Internet/Cellular system utilizes the computer, cell transceiver, and cell antenna at each control station to initiate activation and polling commands to the sirens and to monitor results. The computer is programmed to activate a pre-defined group of sirens and is the main component used to activate and monitor the sirens using the TCP/IP path. Transmission paths between the control stations and sirens use commercial carriers that are independent of the Radio System.The Radio System uses a REACT 4000 to initiate and monitor activation and polling commands to the sirens. It is also programmed to activate a pre-defined group of sirens.It can operate independently without the computer, but is normally aligned so that it processes activation and polling commands initiated by the computer.
Activation using the Radio System sends activation signals to the Internet/Cellular system and vice versa.Typically, the control stations in the individual counties of Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester are set to activate and monitor only those sirens within their own jurisdictions.
However, the control units can be set up with the ability to activate sirens in any and all jurisdictions.
In this way, the control units provide redundancy and backup to other control stations.
If a control station in one of the counties were out of service, its sirens could be activated by another control station within the county, or if agreed, by another county. All of the computer/REACT-4000/cell modem units have battery backup power capable of providing a minimum of 24-hours of operation in case of primary power failure.Sirens can be 'activated.
by either the REACT-4000 alone (radio) or the computer (REACT 4000 or TCP/IP). Upon initiation, activation signals can be sent over the following two pathways simultaneously:
- The 220-MHz radio to the radio transmission towers, which then transmits signals to the siren network via 220 MHz, and 9-1
- Commercial cell phone modem network/internet (TCP/IP, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to the individual sirens and control stations where cellular modems receive the signals.The 220 MHz radio interface is built into the REACT-4000 unit and the TCP/IP interface is connected through the computer.
In normal operation, the REACT-4000 and the computer communicate so that activations, initiated by either unit, are sent out over both paths. If either the REACT-4000 or the computer is non-functional, the other component can still transmit activations over the remaining path.The use of either of these two pathways is sufficient to activate the sirens. The control stations poll the individual sirens using the same communications pathways to determine siren status and function.
The control station computer is password-controlled so that it can be set for use in its primary county, or as a backup for other counties as required.Sirens are routinely polled to report on operational readiness.
Key system parameters that are monitored include communications, AC power availability, siren and control station operability and battery status.Communication
-General Overview There are two separate and distinct communications paths between the control stations and sirens:* Redundant 220 MHz simulcast radio networks linking all sirens and CCUs through repeater towers" Commercial cellular TCP/IP connectivity to all sirens and control stations The radio pathway and cellular TCP/IP pathway operate concurrently.
The dedicated simulcast radio network is comprised of four towers sites, each with redundant radio hardware to communicate activation and status monitoring signals between the control stations and sirens. Signals received by any tower will result in these signals being communicated to all towers. The signals are then re-sent in a coordinated manner to all sirens and control stations as appropriate, to minimize signal interference.
There are two redundant radio paths used to communicate between the control stations and sirens. Each path includes radio antennas at each tower, radio frequency transmitters/receivers at each tower and a communication link between towers. Only one of these paths is in full operation at a time, with the other normally in standby. The receiver paths at the towers are always maintained in operation and can therefore process any signals received, but only one transmitter can operate depending on which one is selected to be in service. Failure of the in-service path would result in automatic transfer to the standby path. There are no shared components in the signal transmission path used to activate and monitor the sirens except for the equipment building and tower structure, the equipment maintaining the time stamp for synchronization with the sirens, and both paths share the same battery backup. The control circuits used for tower alarms and channel switching are also shared.9-2 The towers communicate to each other through redundant communication links. One of these communication links uses microwaves and the other uses Telco Ti telephone lines. The redundant controlling electronics for processing the multiple signals received by the towers are located in different facilities.
For the Ti path, it is the IPEC Met Tower and for the microwave path it is Tinker Hill Tower.Control signals to transfer between communication links are processed through the IPEC General Support Building (GSB) with the capability to manually transfer this function to the IPEC EOF as a backup. Loss of one of the tower communication links would not prevent the Radio System from activating or monitoring the sirens.One complete radio path for status monitoring and activation (microwave path) has a confirmed 24-hour battery backup capability via one channel of the radio system. Most of the redundant path (Telco Ti) in the radio system also has a confirmed 24-hour battery backup capability.
The one exception is the communication link between the towers that uses Telco Ti lines operated by the local telephone carrier. Table 9-1 describes the characteristics for the transmission towers. The locations of the sirens, control stations, and repeaters are depicted on Map 1.The cellular TCP/IP siren activation and monitoring pathway does not rely on the repeater towers; it processes signals directly between the control stations and the sirens.Alarms and status monitoring of signals to and from the sirens are processed using the same dual paths that are used for siren activation.
Each repeater tower also has a monitoring unit which provides alarm monitoring and control for the radio system at the towers and communicates to the control stations by a separate radio and TCP/IP cell modem, each having its own antenna. The monitor processes signals to indicate alarm conditions at the repeater towers resulting from component failures, activates or blocks either the microwave transceivers or the Telco Ti line transceivers depending on which tower communication path is desired, powers down several components in the standby channel if there is a loss of AC power at the towers, and initiates a transfer between the microwave mode and Telco Ti mode when conditions dictate (manually, automatically on a major component failure, or automatically on a regular schedule, if selected).
Each control and alarm communication path to the towers is independent of the other except where these signals are processed through common circuit boards and where components in the redundant communication paths are housed in common enclosures at the control stations and towers. The monitoring units at the towers share the 24-hour battery backup supply.9-3

- Latitude/longitude coordinates are referenced to datum GCS WGS 1984.Radio Path Primary communications from the control stations to the individual sirens are distributed through the four simulcast radio towers described in Table 9-1. The transmitter towers are linked to provide simulcast operation.
The Effective Radiated Power (ERP) from the transmitter towers is 200 watts with 50 watts ERP talkback power. Using the four towers in simulcast mode, coverage is obtained from any of the eleven (11) control stations to all assigned siren sites.Each simulcast radio site is comprised of two separate and redundant 100 watt simulcast radio repeaters.
Each of the sirens and each of the CCUs are equipped with a 25 watt radio to communicate over the simulcast network. The simulcast radio network uses 220 MHz frequencies licensed to Entergy through the National Rural Telecommunication Cooperative (NRTC).In addition to redundant communications, the siren system has other redundant features that were designed to ensure operability of the siren network.9-4 Specifically:
Each CCU operates independently and can communicate with every siren in the system using any one of the communications paths.All sirens, CCUs and the synchronized microwave simulcast radio sites are battery backed up for a minimum of 24-hours.All activation messages are sent out multiple times to ensure that they are received.Wireless TCP/IP Networks The cellular data network uses modems to provide a redundant communication pathway between all control units and the sirens. Several methods are employed to prevent unauthorized access to the siren system via these cellular links. Data are extensively checked. The modems are programmed to respond only to other modems within an assigned block of static IP (internet protocol) addresses.
The cellular system is provided by a commercial carrier regulated by the Federal Communications Commission and the New York State Public Service Commission.
These systems have backup power capabilities.
The cellular networks use data transmission channels and are faster and more reliable than voice carrying channels.Cellular networks automatically seek out and utilize the most efficient pathway. Field tests have verified that the connectivity between and among the sirens in the EPZ is of high quality such that no additional network capability is required.Figure 8-6 provides a diagram of the redundant simulcast communication system.Figure 9-1 provides a simplified schematic diagram for the repeater system. A detailed schematic of the simulcast radio system is located in Appendix I.9-5 Figure 9-1.

The entire system can be tested from end to end as a means of ensuring that all components are functioning in accordance with the design. Due to the large number of independent control stations and the modes of operation, there are a large number of possible combinations of control stations and transmission pathways.
There are eleven independent control stations.
Each station can operate in one of five modes or it can be in a "not in service" condition, for a total of six possible states for each control station. The possible operational states for each control station are shown in Table 10-1.Table 10-1. Operational States for Communication and Control System TCP/IP alone Microwave Synchronized Radio alone T-1 Telco Synchronized Radio alone TCP/IP plus Microwave Synchronized Radio TCP/IP plus T-1 Telco Synchronized Radio Not in Service System reliability testing was conducted during the period August 1-14, 2007, including two full system soundings on August 11 and 14, 2007. A "Student T" test was employed to determine the statistical basis for the portion of this reliability testing program that used the microwave radio communication pathway. The "Student T" test is a statistical method of determining if the averages and variances between two populations are'likely to have occurred by chance or because there is a real difference in the populations.
This statistical method is suitable for small populations.
The results of the August 1-14, 2007 reliability testing are tabulated in Appendix H. The data tables show the date of the test, the locations from which the testing took place, and the communication pathway(s) that were used for the testing. Test results are provided on a county by county basis and on an overall system basis.10.1 System Performance There was no instance in which a hardware failure caused a system-wide inability to activate sirens. One of the significant advantages of the new system is that is designed to address the potential for individual hardware failures.
The system'incorporates the physical separation of redundant components to enable activation from other locations within the affected county and from locations outside of the county. Furthermore, the failures observed in the testing all occurred when the system was placed in an off-normal configuration to test a single activation pathway. In normal use, the configuration utilizes all three independent activation pathways.
If a large fraction of an individual county's sirens or even all of the sirens in a single county were to fail to sound on the first activation demand in an actual emergency condition, the following alternatives would be available:
- 1) The affected county could utilize its other control station(s) to activate sirens.2) The affected county could request one of the other counties to activate the sirens in the failed county jurisdiction.
10-1
- 3) The affected county could request IPEC to activate the sirens from one of its control stations.4) Finally, the affected county could utilize the back-up methods for alert and notification.
The above strategy would successfully address each of the three siren failures noted below.10.2 History of Significant Activation Failures During the new system reliability testing conducted August 1-14, 2007, there were three instances during the reliability testing in which a significant fraction of the sirens failed to activate in an individual county. The causes of these events, corrective actions, and actions to prevent recurrence are described below.During the testing, there was one instance when an entire county's sirens failed. This event occurred on Tuesday, August 14, when Westchester County's 71 sirens failed to activate during a TCP/IP only signal test from the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC). A review of this event established that the failure was the result of an artificial siren system configuration put in place in order to test one of the three activation communication pathways.
The normal siren system configuration keeps all three communication pathways active. In order to test one particular communication path, the other two must be placed into a shutdown condition.
Investigation of'the event on August 14 revealed that the Westchester County control statiorn had been shutdown at the completion of the prior test. Since the unit was inactive for a period of time, the cellular modem went into the sleep mode and therefore was unresponsive for the first test. The "sleep" mode is a condition in which the component is in a reduced power configuration to conserve battery power. In normal use, this condition does not occur because the periodic testing keeps the component in an active or "awake" mode. The modem was reset, the scheduled second test was performed, and all but one Westchester County siren activated.
This condition would not occur during a normal configuration.
In an actual event, the control station at the county's other activation location would be used to activate the sirens immediately as described above. This event was documented in IPEC Condition Report CR-IP2-2007-3254.
There were two other instances that occurred in Orange County during testing where a significant number of the county's sirens failed to activate.
These tests occurred on August 1 and August 8. Both tests used only the radio/microwave communication signal. The August 1 test resulted in 19 of the 22 sirens not receiving an activation signal. The August 8 test resulted in 10 sirens not receiving the activation signal. These events were caused by a failure to reboot a computer at the CCU following software updating.
The software was not activated until the reboot occurred.
This was attributed to technician error. In an actual event, the control station at the county's other activation location would be used to activate the sirens immediately as described above. This event was documented in IPEC Condition Report CR-IP2-2007-3209.
The cause for each of these failures was identified and corrective action was taken to address them.10.3 Continued Testing IPEC continued to conduct communication and control system reliability testing that expanded on the statistically based testing that was conducted in August and September 2007. This round of reliability testing concluded on September 17, 2007. The test results for the complete testing are also included in Appendix H. The testing regime demonstrated that overall system reliability is well above 90% as called for in the applicable FEMA guidance.
Given the 10-2 configuration of the communication and control system, there are many combinations of activation and communication control. The testing regime tested those that are most likely to be used including individual county activations from EOCs and warning points in various combinations and the ability of both Westchester County and Rockland County to activate sirens on behalf of all four counties.
The testing provides reasonable assurance that the installed communication and control system will function in all modes as designed.
As suggested by FEMA, testing concentrated on, but was not limited to, the microwave synchronized simulcast radio communication and control mode. In that mode, overall reliability is in the range of 97-98 percent.10.4 Reliability Testing and Performance Results The testing performed in August and September has been sufficient to provide a greater than 95% confidence level that the results of the microwave synchronized simulcast radio activation and control mode reflected actual system capability and did not occur merely by random cha~nce.Those results have demonstrated high reliability (greater than 97%) for that activation and control mode. Furthermore, the testing has not revealed any unanticipated failure modes. Overall success rates for all activation modes were also greater than 97 percent.10-3 11 ACOUSTIC CRITERIA OF SIREN SYSTEM NUREG-0654 and FEMA-REP-10 indicate that adequate siren sound levels are as follows: " The expected siren sound pressure level generally exceeds 70 dBC where the population exceeds 2,000 persons per square mile and 60 dBC in other inhabited areas; or* The expected siren sound pressure level generally exceeds the average measured summer daytime ambient sound pressure levels by 10 dBC (geographical areas with less than 2,000 persons per square mile).Additionally, the NUREG 0654 Appendix 3 guidance that the notification system will"assure direct coverage of essentially 100% of the population within 5 miles of the site" has been further defined in the Shearon Harris Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) decisions to mean "...the required essentially 100% which we equate with greater than 95% during summer nighttime conditions within 5 miles" ...and 90% within 10 miles.Inhabited areas are depicted on Map 2 (Appendix K).11-1 12 SIREN ACOUSTIC COMPUTER MODEL BASIS The siren sound contours of 60 and 70 dBC, within the IPEC EPZ, were calculated by a computer model developed by ATI. These contours are shown on Map 2. The computer model evaluates meteorological factors, topographical factors and ground conditions.
These factors affect the propagation of the sound signal generated by a siren. FEMA-REP-10 guidelines state that the average summer daytime weather conditions should be used to calculate siren sound contours-since they are the most conservative conditions where sound propagation is most challenged.
Average summer daytime weather conditions were used as input for the model analyses for siren acoustic coverage.In accordance with relevant sections of ISO 9613-2 and ANSI S12.18-1994, the acoustic model is programmed with appropriate information pertaining to a source-receiver orientation, source sound characteristics, and path obstructions and characteristics.
There are three types of data inputs required for the program:* Siren Data -The siren dominant frequency in hertz and sound output at 100 feet on axis at siren height in dBC." Meteorological Conditions
-Meteorological information, including temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity and barometric pressure." Topographical and Ground Conditions
-A receiver grid system is established for the entire EPZ. Each source-receiver path is then scanned and relevant path information including effective source and receiver heights, ground characteristics, major obstructions and intervening tree cover is derived. Available topographical and ground cover condition data are used to determine sound attenuation factors (See Figure 12-1).The various sound attenuation factors considered in the sound propagation analysis by the computer model are summarized below.Spherical Wave Divergence The change in the sound pressure level from spherical divergence is uniform in all directions and occurs at a rate of 6 dB per doubling of distance from the sound source. This non-dissipative sound pressure level attenuation is a result of the decrease in energy density (energy per unit area) of the propagating sound wave. The energy density of a sound wave decreases as the distance from a sound source increases because of the increase in the surface area over which the constant energy of the wave is distributed.
Atmospheric Absorption Molecular (atmospheric) absorption further reduces the sound energy. This dissipative sound level attenuation is from inelastic collisions of air molecules.
Absorption is dependent on the temperature and the relative humidity of the air, and is proportional to distance and pronounced at frequencies higher than the frequency of 576 Hz selected for the IPEC sirens.12-1 Barrier Attenuation Effects A mound of earth, a hill or a structure, if large enough, is a partial barrier to sound and can reduce sound levels within its shadow zone. The sound attenuation caused by a barrier is estimated by the computer model. The ATI computer model determines the effective barrier height, which is the height above the line-of-sight from the siren to the receiver location.The other two essential dimensions are the distance from the siren to the barrier, and the distance from the barrier to the receiver.
These dimensions are used to calculate the attenuation of sound from the barriers.
Topographical data from USGS maps are used to calculate the sound attenuation from barrier effects caused by the high elevations generating acoustic shadow zones behind ridges and hills.There are well developed analytical methods for calculating the extent of attenuation of sound by barriers.
In general, these methods have been experimentally verified.
These are used to calculate this effect. The model considers single or multiple barriers interrupting the siren signal. If multiple barriers exist, the most prominent barrier is utilized.
The barrier effect is calculated.
Field verification from these methods has been conducted and modified for accuracy.Near-Field Interference Factors All of the siren locations were surveyed to evaluate potential near-field obstructions that can attenuate the sound from the siren. Tree trimming was required and completed at many locations to mitigate this attenuation.
This effort is described in the IPEC reports entitled"Report on Trees and Tree Trimming at the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Alert Notification Siren Sites, September 24, 2007 to November 17, 2007," Volumes I and II, November 30, 2007. Additionally, the effect of co-located sirens was documented in CR-IP2-2007-04611 and concluded that there is not significant degradation in sound propagation from co-located sirens such that the function to alert the public is impaired.Ground Effects Sound attenuation is also a function of the ground cover and the siren's height. The ground cover conditions were determined directly from USGS maps at various directions and distances from the installed siren location.
These conditions were used to calculate the sound attenuation due to the absorptive effect of the different ground coverings.
The primary path of the outdoor sound propagation is the direct line-of-sight path; the secondary path is the ground-reflected path. Both of these paths are subject to sound attenuation due to the effect of ground cover between the sound source and distant locations.
In general, five types of ground cover are distinguishable from USGS maps for evaluation by the ATI computer model: Dense vegetation
-forests and thick brush are the kinds of ground cover that attenuate sound to the greatest extent.Wooded marsh -vegetation attenuates sound, but water reflects sound to a certain extent, so attenuation by this ground cover. is not as great as that caused by denser vegetation.
12-2 Water, marshes -water acts as a reflector for sound propagation, so attenuation over water is very slight.Open fields -where there is no dense vegetation or other barriers to sound, attenuation is slight.Urban and suburban areas -sound reflects well from pavement at acute incidence angles.Sound is attenuated to a significant extent, however, in urban areas close to the siren because buildings act as sound barriers and reflection is poor because of high incidence angles. In urban areas further away from the siren, sound propagates with a low attenuation rate as a result of increased reflection due to the lowered angle of incidence.
Wind Shadows Wind gradients near the ground are usually positive; that is, wind speed increases with height.As a result, a wind shadow zone is most commonly encountered upwind of a siren because headwinds with positive wind gradients bend sound upward. Downwind, the sound rays are bent downward and no shadow zone is produced.
Crosswind, there is a zone of transition which is more difficult to model.ATI starts with established formulas for wind attenuation.
ATI then modifies those formulas utilizing proprietary factors developed by its extensive field measurements from sirens around nuclear sites.Foliage Attenuation ATI uses empirical data to evaluate the effect of tree foliage.Methodology For each siren, the area around the siren is divided into Polar coordinates of 24 150 segments and the radial distance (r) from the siren. For each segment an acoustic ray is projected based on the rated sound pressure level output, as described in Section 14. The acoustic ray sound pressure level is reduced by each of the applicable attenuation factors and site specific terrain factors described above. For each sound ray, the distance from the source corresponding to C-weighted 70 dBC and 60 dBC is determined as a point (X, Y) coordinate for a Cartesian coordinate grid system. The contours are scaled and overlaid on US Geological Survey topographical maps. This entire process is then repeated for each and every set of source-receiver pairs and used to develop a matrix of values from which the sound contours can be extrapolated for the entire EPZ.12-3 Figure 12-1.

The siren locations and designated siren sound pressure level output in dBC Leq were input into the model. The ATI model then computed expected siren levels throughout the EPZ.ATI produced a sound contour map which depicts 70 dBC and 60 dBC contour lines over the IPEC EPZ. Individual locations have specific predicted values based on GPS coordinates.
The input value for each siren output was 114 dBC Leq.To verify the accuracy of the ATI model, IPEC contracted with Wyle Laboratories to use its "Sound Acoustic Model" (SAM) to prepare a similar sound contour map. The identical sound pressure level of 114 dBC Leq was used as input to produce the sound contour map. The two maps were compared for similarities and differences.
The two acoustic consultants produced nearly the same results. The contours lines were in essentially the same locations.
The two acoustic consultants compared their results and were satisfied that both maps reasonably predicted the actual sound coverage.To further confirm the quality of the ATI predictions, 24 high population density locations in the far field were measured during full alert siren soundings on August 11 and 14, 2007. The actual measurements are shown in Table 13.1. The input values for the ATI model predictions were siren height values (approximately 114 dBC) correlated from actual ground level readings.
These measurements were compared to the predicted sound pressure levels for these locations.
A bulk average deviation method, as described in Section 14.4, was used to analyze this data. Extremely close alignment was shown.Thus, the ATI model has been demonstrated to be reasonably accurate in predicting sound coverage in the EPZ.13-1 WTable 13-1.

Set forth below are the definition of each characteristic, how such characteristic was determined, and the documentation of test results. Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) in Smyrna, Georgia established the testing methodology, conducted the testing, and provided the testing results which establish that the new Indian Point Alert and Notification System (ANS) sirens meet all applicable FEMA standards and guidance.Figure 14-1 shows the location of the nine (9) microphone cruciform array in relation to the siren speaker array inside the anechoic chamber. This equipment arrangement is consistent for all of the tests performed by GTRI in the anechoic chamber. The central microphone was aligned with the center of the siren speaker array and data from this microphone were used in test results and analyses.Steadiness The definition of siren steadiness is the ability to maintain an alerting signal at a constant sound pressure level and signal frequency as a function of time. The standard for steadiness is + 2.0 dBC established by FEMA during the technical meeting held between ENOI and FEMA on November 9, 2007 and is based on the caption to Figure 1 in CPG 1-17.The GTRI testing demonstrates that the siren output is steady in accordance with FEMA guidance in CPG 1-17 and as discussed below.Siren time history curves depict sound pressure level (SPL) versus time. Siren time history curves for four omni-directional sirens are provided in Figures 14-2 through 14-5. Each of the nine (9) time history curves associated with individual microphones follows the same pattern but at different sound pressure levels. Time history data recorded from the center microphone
(#3)in the array for multiple activations are shown in figures 14-8 through 14-11. The center microphone was selected because it represents the on-axis center of the siren array location.Table 14-1 lists the range of siren sound variation for 28 independent speaker pair tests from four omni-directional sirens.The GTRI data demonstrate that the omni-directional siren sound output during normal operation, which excludes an initial transient, varies between 0.16 and 0.49 dBC or 0.34 dBC on average over a 3-4 minute time period. Excluding the transient sound pressure level that occurs with signal initiation, the omni-directional sirens demonstrate a steady signal with sound pressure levels varying by less than 0.5 dBC over a 3-4 minute sounding period. The initial transient sound pressure level reduction of approximately 1.0 dBC over the first 20-24 seconds of siren operation is due to the initial electrical burst from the siren amplifiers.
The ANSI S12.14-1992 criteria allows for initial transients in accordance with paragraph 6.2.3.1 which states "Observations shall be made over a period of at least 30 seconds after the warning sound source has reached steady operation." Results of the GTRI tests indicated that the bi-directional siren sound output, excluding the initial transient varied by less than 0.40 dBC over-a 3-4 minute sounding period. Figure 14-6 shows the data that demonstrate signal steadiness for the bi-directional siren system.14-1 Based on the GTRI testing data, the steadiness range for both the omni-directional and bi-directional sirens is within 0.5 dBC over a 3-4 minute sounding period and meet the applicable FEMA standards and guidance.Steady frequency output was measured for the siren activations of both omni-directional and bi-directional sirens at the standardoperating frequency of 576 Hz as well as other frequencies including 660, 675, and 780 Hz. Frequency of the siren output was steady to within + 1.0 Hz over a 3-4 minute sounding period. Figure 14-7 shows the constancy of frequency during a representative siren sounding.The independent GTRI testing results demonstrate that both the omni-directional and bi-directional sirens produce a steady alerting tone frequency in accordance with FEMA standards and guidance.Repeatability The definition of repeatability is the ability of a siren to produce the same sound level output and tone frequency during multiple activations.
The standard for repeatability is + 2.0 dBC established by FEMA during the technical meeting held between ENOI and FEMA on November 9, 2007 and is based on the caption to Figure 1 in CPG 1-17, page 10.The GTRI testing demonstrates that the siren output is repeatable as discussed below.Figures 14-8 through 14-11 show the representative test results of four different omni-directional sirens during several different activations.
Data from the central microphone show sound pressure level variation ranging between 0.8 and 1.4 dBC. These data demonstrate that the omni-directional siren system is repeatable within a 1.4 dBC range over a 3-4 minute sounding period. Figure 14-6 shows that the bi-directional siren is repeatable within a 0.6 DBC range over a 3-4 minute sounding period.In addition, in situ outdoor testing performed in the summer of 2007 within the Indian Point EPZ and shown in Figure 14-12 indicates very similar repeatability results for both the omni-directional and bi-directional sirens. The maximum in situ outdoor repeatability range for 5 omni-directional siren tests was 1.1 dBC and for the two bi-directional siren tests was 0.3 dBC.The independent GTRI testing results demonstrate that both the omni-directional and bi-directional sirens are repeatable in accordance with the FEMA standard established by the FEMA staff.Reproducibility Reproducibility is defined as the ability of a group of sirens to produce acoustic output that is consistent from one siren to another. The standard for reproducibility was established by the FEMA staff at a technical meeting between ENOI and FEMA on November 9, 2007.The GTRI testing demonstrates' that the siren output is reproducible as discussed below.Reproducibility was demonstrated by' comparing the sound pressure level output of different sirens. Figure 14-13,.shows anechoic-chamber results from twenty-eight (28) sound tests from four differentomni-directional sirens with different speaker pairs facing the microphone array.14-2 The data demonstrate that the omni-directional siren systems are reproducible to within a + 2.0 dBC band,.. iThis is further demonstrated by outdoor tests results performed in situ within the Indian Point EPZ in the summer of 2007 and shown in Figure 14-14. Excluding one outlier (siren 213), outdoor in situ testing on the remaining 16 sirens measured on axis at 100 feet at siren height had a + 2.0 dBC band. Anechoic chamber test results for siren 213 projected to 100 feet are well within the + 2.0 dBC range. Additionally, outdoor tests results obtained from siren 213 at GTRI were also within the + 2.0 dBC range. These results suggest that the outlying reading for siren 213 shown in Figure 14-14 was due to outdoor environmental effects.Anechoic chamber and in situ outdoor tests described above demonstrate that the omni-directional sirens are reproducible.
Figure 14-6 shows the reproducibility of two bi-directional sirens to be within 1.0 dBC. This reproducibility is further supported by in situ outdoor tests whose data are shown in Figure 14-12. The in situ outdoor reproducibility test between bi-directional sirens 116 and 120 using the worst case combination is 0.6 dBC. Therefore, the bi-directional sirens are reproducible to within a + 2.0 dBC band over a 3-4 minute sounding period.The independent GTRI testing results demonstrate that both the omni-directional and bi-directional sirens are reproducible in accordance with the standard established by the FEMA staff.14-3 Figure 14-1.

Testing was conducted both within the GTRI anechoic chamber and outside in an open field. The results presented here are provided in more detail in two reports from GTRI.A total of sixteen (16) Acoustic Technologies, Inc. (ATI) sirens were tested including fourteen omni-directional sirens and two bi-directional sirens. Of these, four of the omni-directional sirens and both of the bi-directional siren speakers and amplifier boards had been installed within the IPEC EPZ and were removed and shipped to GTRI for these tests. The remaining ten omni-directional siren components were acquired new from ATI for these tests.The ten new sirens were all tested first in the anechoic chamber at GTRI. Then three of these new sirens were selected to be tested outside along with six sirens that had been installed in the EPZ.Anechoic Chamber Testing The testing protocol for the anechoic chamber tests followed the same procedure as described in section 14.1. The same cruciform microphone array as shown in Figure 14-1 was used for the measurements.
The test plan called for sounding each omni-directional siren with each set of horns facing the microphone array in turn.The results from these tests show that the new sirens behave similarly to the sirens that were removed from poles and tested in the anechoic chamber (section 14.1). Typical results for these tests are shown in Figure 14-15 which shows selected time histories of soundings for all ten new sirens. Table 14-2 shows the sound pressure level results for the ten new sirens in the chamber.The sirens were steady, and the results were repeatable from test to test. In addition, the sound pressure level results from the new omni-directional sirens were in close agreement with the results from the previous testing of existing sirens (see Section 14.1).14-12 Table 14-2.

The test site was located on the premises of GTRI in Smyrna, Georgia. It is an elongated field (approximately 200 ft by 600 ft in extent) used for radar range testing. Figures14-16a and 14-14-13
.~1 6b show this field from an aerial vantage point and show its location relative to Dobbins AFB and surrounding commercial real estate. The western end of the field was surrounded by trees (mostly pine) at a height of approximately 75 ft or higher. A pole was installed and the sirens were mounted at this end of the field. The opposite end of the field opened up over generally flat terrain. A radar tower stood in this end of the field. The radar tower was approximately 500 feet from the pole, and the field was covered with grass.Each siren was mounted on top of the 50 foot pole using the same brace that was used in the anechoic chamber tests. The brace was designed so that the entire siren assembly could be rotated on top of the pole to allow testing in all speaker orientations.
For the six EPZ sirens, a similar cruciform microphone rig using five microphones, instead of the nine used in the chamber, was used in the field and was mounted 18.5 feet from the sirens. There were two microphones placed at 100 feet from the siren at 50 feet above the-ground.
One microphone was held steady on the siren axis. The second microphone was scanned in accordance with the methodology recommended in ANSI S12.14-1992.
The scanning motion was performed either manually or by using a mechanical rig. For some of these tests there was also a microphone at 200 feet (50 feet off of the ground) and for some of the tests a microphone was placed at 400 feet (50 feet off of the ground). In addition, there were also two microphones placed 5 feet off of the ground at 100 feet, and for some tests, at 200 feet from the siren. Figure 14-17 shows the arrangement of the microphones.
The results from these field tests corroborate the results from the previous anechoic chamber.However, the average of the results from the field test suggests that the sound pressure level of the sirens at 100 feet is closer to 115 to 117 dBC (based on the stationary and moving.microphone method outlined in ANSI S12.14-1992).
This difference is likely caused by the addition of sound gained from the combination of the direct sound from the siren and the ground reflection.
Table 14-3 lists the sound level results from all of the omnni-directional siren tests. It should be noted that favorable propagation conditions on the last two days of testing appear to have increased the measured sound on those days.14-14 Table 14-3.

Figure 14-18 shows the results of the testing of siren 331. In this plot, all of the microphones are kept steady, but as the distance between the microphones (receptor) and the siren increases, the variation in recorded sound level also increases.
This increase in variation is due to 'unmeasured changes in the micro-meteorological conditions and is an expected result of outdoor testing.In addition to the testing of the omni-directional sirens, two bi-directional sirens were tested.The anechoic chamber datai agrees well (within 2 dB) with the outdoor data at 18.5 ft and the 14-15 prediction at 100 feet using a steady microphone.
The measurement shows that on average, the bi-directional sirens measured approximately 118 dBC at 100 ft.Figure 14-15.

A siren output of 114 dBC Leq (omni-directional) and J116 dBC Leq (bi-directional) both at 100 ft. on axis at siren elevation was utilized, although as explained below this is a conservative approach based on actual measured sound output.GTRI conducted independent acoustic testing of the IPEC ANS sirens. Six sirens installed in the new system within the IPEC EPZ were removed from their respective poles and delivered to GTRI in addition to ten new sirens. The siren acoustic testing at the GTRI facilities included two separate programs:
anechoic chamber testing and open field testing.Testing of the 14 omni-directional and 2 bi-directional sirens in the anechoic chamber resulted in an average of 115 dBC Leq for the omni-directional sirens and an average of 117.3 dBC Leq for the bi-directional sirens both projected at 100 feet. In the field testing at GTRI, results showed up to 2 dBC higher measurements than predicted in the anechoic chamber, with the actual numbers of 115.2 to 117.4 dBC Leq for the omni-directional and 116.7 to 11 8.7dBC Leq for the bi-directional sirens. Furthermore, the Lmax readings in the field, determined after the initial transient response from the sirens, showed at least an additional 2 to 3 dBC higher sound pressure level, ranging from 119 to 121 dBC Lmax.A statistical analysis was performed utilizing 52 independent speaker pair measurements that were taken in the GTRI anechoic chamber. The mean sound pressure level of the sample population was 115 dBC Leq with a standard deviation of 0.5 dBC. Using both a Chi-Squared and a Student T analysis, the minimum siren level output, at the 95% confidence level, for any siren in the total population is 114 dBC Leq. Therefore, to provide sound coverage margin, a conservative siren output level of 114 dBC Leq was used in the sound contour model, notwithstanding the fact that the actual output was measured at higher values.FEMA-REP-10 specifies that the siren sound pressure level should generally exceed 70 dBC where the population density exceeds 2000 people per square mile in the EPZ. In areas with a population density below 2000 people per square mile the siren sound pressure level should generally exceed 60 dBC.The ATI model demonstrates that the 70 dBC sound output criterion is met in high population areas requiring 70 dBC coverage.
The 60 dBC sound output criterion is met in low population areas requiring 60 dBC coverage with the exception of four small areas in the EPZ that are sparsely populated or unpopulated (mostly parkland) and largely inaccessible.
Though these areas project to be less than 60 dBC, the one area in Putnam County where population resides was actually measured to have a sound pressure level of 62 dBC. Thus, there is minimal effect on the notification of residents of the EPZ.Additionally, Blue Ridge Research and Consulting (BRRC) performed an ambient noise survey in high population density areas in thirteen locations within the EPZ for three consecutive days in August of 2007 to determine the outdoor summer daytime ambient sound level in areas within the EPZ. ýThe daytime (7 AM to.10 PM) noise data from these measurements was used to compute:the local ambient noise environment.
The exceedance levels of L10, L50, and L90 were computed in the 2 8 th third octave band, centered on 630 Hz. The L90 levels, representative of the ambient background sound levels, ranged from 25 dB to 46 dB. The L50 levels, representative of the average sound conditions, ranged from 28 dB to 59 dB. The Li 0 14-19 levels, representative of the infrequent and transient noise intrusions, ranged from 35 dB to 52 dB. Complete details and results from the survey are provided in Appendix C.The measured sound pressure levels from the siren full sounding in the far field exceeded the L50 value (which is most representative of average background conditions) by 15 to 30 dBC in the third octave band.The siren sound level coverage is provided on Map 2. The map indicates areas with 60 dBC and 70 dBC coverage and the population density in the EPZ.Based on the sound contours presented in Map 2, IPEC concludes that the siren system as designed meets or exceeds FEMA-REP-10 guidance for sound pressure levels and population coverage.14.4 Far Field Measurements Methodology The purpose of the measurements described herein is to characterize the amplitude of sound produced by the complete siren system around the Indian Point Energy Center. The results from these measurements will be compared with the results from the model developed by ATI to confirm the quality of the prediction reflected in the ATI model.Equipment ANSI certified Type 1 Sound Level Meters (SLMs) will be used in the measurements as per ANSI S12.18. Before and after each measurement the calibration of each sound level meter will be checked, and the calibration tone will be recorded for at least 30 seconds. Each sound level meter will be capable of recording noise data at one-second intervals.
The SLMs will be set to record the C-Weighted values. The 1 second Leq and the 1 second third octave band data will be recorded wherever possible based on equipment availability.
Each SLM microphone will be fitted with a wind screen and will be mounted on a tripod or other suitable firm mounting device at a height of approximately 5 feet above ground level. Each SLM clock will be synchronized with the clock used to initiate the siren test. In addition, meteorological data will be collected including wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity within the EPZ. Multiple locations within the EPZ will be used to collect this data for each full siren test and recorded at the highest possible sample rate.Measurement Locations Twenty (20) measurement locations will be selected within the EPZ. Locations of interest will include: areas along the sound contour lines: areas downwind, cross wind or surrounded by sirens; areas of challenging topography; high population density areas and those locations previously identified with potentially lower projected sound levels, where additional sirens were added. Each measurement position should be greater than 50 feet from the nearest reflecting surface such as buildings, boulders, walls, and other obstacles.
General guidelines for selecting measurement locations are that the measurements should be greater than 1,000 feet from the nearest siren. The precise location of each measurement location with GPS coordinates will be determined and recorded, together with any additional details about the measurement location.Also locations that have been previously identified as being within the shadow created by a co-located siren should be avoided. Multiple test days will be planned to maximize the opportunity 14-20 to have the appropriate weather conditions for testing. Test day weather conditions will be factored into the correlation of predicted to measured sound pressure levels.Measurement Procedure The SLMs will start recording data approximately 2 minutes or more prior to the full system sounding and will continue to record data for approximately 2 minutes or more after the siren sounding has concluded.
The testing personnel should be careful not to make any noise during the period while the SLM is running including the periods prior to and after siren sounding while the SLM is operating.
Each operator of an SLM will be given a data sheet (Figure 14-19) that will be filled out completely.
Each data sheet will have all of the information about the test including the date, time, location, SLM serial number, and calibration.
In addition, the operator will record the local ambient noise level before and after the siren system sounding.
Each operator will note on the data sheet any significant intruding noise sources that occur during the test. This is intermittent noise that is above background.
The operator will record the source and time of the intrusion on the data sheet.Testing will not be conducted if meteorological conditions such as precipitation and elevated wind exist. ANSI S12.18 provides guidelines for appropriate atmospheric conditions.
Every effort will be made to collect data under the conditions stated in ANSI S12.18. The determination to take measurements will be made by the Test Director on the day of the test.Data Analysis The data from the SLMs will be analyzed to determine the sound level produced during the full siren system activation.
The third-octave band with the majority of the siren energy will be identified and used for part of the analysis, including the difference above ambient. Data will be reported by identifying the C-weighted Lmax (maximum 1 second Leq during the test) and the C-weighted L10. In addition, the complete time history of each measurement will be recorded.Comparison with Modeled Results The measured metric, C-weighted Li 0, will be compared to the output from ATI's sound propagation model. Lmax will be reviewed for a more complete understanding of additional margin. For this analysis, the sound level predicted by the model will be compared with the measured L10 at each location.
To evaluate the quality of the sound propagation model, the data will be analyzed by a bulk average deviation method as shown in Eq. 1 below.Any significant outlier will be identified and considered.
If there are extenuating circumstances that are identified and justify exclusion, these outliers will be removed from the bulk average calculation.
Examples of outlier circumstances include: siren material condition, instrument problems, interfering noise events, etc. An outlier is defined as a measurement greater than 3 standard deviations of the difference in predicted and measured sound pressure level data. Any exclusion will be documented.
14-21 (Eq. 1) Q = y (Pi- Mj)N Where: Q is the measure of model quality Pi is the predicted Leq sound pressure level at the ith location Mi is the measured Leq sound pressure level at the ith location N is the total number of measurements A value for Q of positive 3 dBC or less is indicative of a high level of model quality. Since this is a one-sided test any negative value of Q is acceptable, since that means the measured values are predominately higher than the predicted and thus the model would be conservative.

14-23 15 BACKUP POWER Twenty-four hour battery capability is provided to meet the backup power requirements of the Energy Policy Act. The design includes this capability for each siren (Remote Terminal Unit or RTU), each control station and one of the redundant radio paths (Repeater Towers). Twenty-four hour battery backup capability is also provided for the second redundant radio path and the TCP/IP equipment installed at the sirens, control stations and repeaters, with the exception of the T1 telephone lines and the TCP/IP network, which are maintained by Verizon (Telco).Sirens (RTU)Each of the 167 siren/control panels contains a 24V DC battery system for normal operation of the electronics, radio transceiver and cell/modem transceiver.
The typical installation consists of four 12V DC maintenance-free gel-type batteries connected in a series/parallel configuration to provide for 24V DC operation (the 7 solar installations each use 8 batteries).
The total number of batteries provided to meet the power requirements are based on a worst case assumption of a temperature of zero degrees F, end of battery life, a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> standby period (without recharging) and a 15-minute activation of the siren.For the 160 sirens receiving utility power, a built-in rectifier/charger converts the input 120V AC to 24V DC, to float charge the batteries which provide DC power to the respective siren power units. The remaining 7 sirens are solar powered and have a photovoltaic charge controller to float charge the batteries.
Upon loss of the normal AC input power (or solar charging), the batteries will continue to supply DC power to the respective circuitry with no interruption of DC power to the siren pole circuitry.
Following discharge of the batteries, the chargers connected to the 120V AC supply have the capability to recharge the batteries to 80% capacity within 24-hours.
An alarm message is initiated and the batteries will continue to supply power for the specified time whenever the normal AC input power source (or solar charging) to the rectifier/charger deviates from the specified tolerances or fails completely.
Both types of chargers are temperature compensated for the system to operate in a harsh outdoor environment.
The battery compartment on the AC supplied sirens is fitted with a battery compartment heater and thermostat which are powered from the line voltage of the incoming source.Control Stations Each of the control stations contains an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit that provides 120V AC power for normal operation of the electronics, radio transceiver, cell modem transceiver, a computer work station and a printer. The UPS unit normally receives power from the utility grid and is provided with an external connection to a 24V DC battery system for backup power. The typical battery installation consists of eight 12V DC maintenance-free gel-type batteries connected in a series/parallel configuration to provide for 24V DC operation.
Eight batteries are provided to meet power requirements for a 24-hour standby period (without recharging), and the power required to support periodic polling, silent tests and monitoring of the system at end of battery life.Following discharge, the battery charger incorporated within the UPS units has the capability to recharge the batteries to 80% capacity within 24-hours.
An alarm message 15-1 is initiated whenever the normal AC input power source to the rectifier/charger deviates from the specified tolerances or fails completely.
The Orange County FOC has additional battery chargers, batteries and 12V DC systems for the remotely located radio transceivers that are sized to meet the same requirements.
The control station cabinets are located in facilities with heating and air conditioning so that the battery capacity requirements do not need to be adjusted to account for low temperature conditions.
Repeater Towers Each of the four Repeater Towers enables communication to the control stations and siren pole locations via VHF radio with coordination (simulcasting) between the towers, linked by Telco "Ti " line or microwave.
Dual sets of equipment are provided in racks for the redundant microwave and Telco channels and are powered from two separate UPS units (one for the microwave path and the other for the Telco Ti path). The UPS units normally receive power from the power grid and are provided with an external'connection to the 24V DC battery systems for backup power. The typical battery installation consists of twenty four 12V DC maintenance-free gel-type batteries connected in a series/parallel configuration to provide for 24V DC operation.
Twenty-four batteries are provided to meet the power requirements of a 24-hour standby period (without recharging), and the power required to support periodic polling, silent tests and monitoring of the system, at worst case temperature of zero degrees F at end of battery life. To conserve power, automatic load stripping is provided to de-energize the main radios and access server, and filters on the channel that is not in service when normal AC power is not available.
A separate AC power supply is also provided for the monitoring unit electronics that provide for monitoring system status using a separate radio and Internet/Cellular radio. The battery system also provides backup power to the monitoring unit.Following discharge, the battery chargers incorporated within the two UPS units, two separate battery chargers and a charger in the Monitoring Unit have the capability to recharge the batteries to 80% capacity within 24-hours.
An alarm message is initiated whenever the normal AC input power source to the rectifier/charger deviates from the specified tolerances or fails completely.
With the exception of Harriman, the repeater locations are all located within facilities with heating and air conditioning.
The Harriman repeater enclosure itself has a thermostatically controlled space heater and air conditioning which is AC powered.There is one communications channel (the radio/microwave channel) for the 'repeater towers that has battery power supplies confirmed to provide 24-hour backup power in the event of a loss of normal AC power.15-2 16 FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) of the new IPEC Prompt Alert and Notification System was performed to identify failure vulnerabilities.
This analysis is documented in the report entitled "Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) of the New Siren System for Indian Point Energy Center." The recommendations of this analysis were entered into the IPEC corrective action program for evaluation and consideration for implementation.
The analysis was based on system testing, review of drawings, design reports, contract and vendor documents and discussions with IPEC and contractor staff.FMEA Methodology FMEA is a methodology for analyzing potential reliability problems and identifying actions to overcome these issues, thereby enhancing reliability.
FMEA is used to identify potential failure modes, determine their effect on the operation of the system and identify actions to mitigate the failures.
This is a crucial step in anticipating what might go wrong with the system. The FMEA development team formulated an extensive list of potential failure modes using military guidance MIL-STD-1629, MIL-STD-882 and MIL-HDBK-217.
This analysis was set up in three categories:
- System Category-focuses on global system functions (such as activation, and routine operations of polling, monitoring, and control)* Design Category-focuses on components and subsystems
- Software Category-focuses on software functions For each of the above listed categories, spread sheets were populated with the components, functions, or items. For each of these, potential failure modes were identified; potential effects and their severity were discussed; potential causes were listed; and system failures and means for detecting those failures were identified.
Design controls to mitigate failures were then evaluated and recommendations to minimize or detect failures were provided.The analysis calculated a Risk Probability Number (RPN), which is the product of the three terms evaluated during the FMEA. The Severity (S) of the potential effects of failure, the probability of Occurrence (0) of the failure, and the ability to Detect (D) the failure. RPN = (S)*(O)*(D).
The bounds of the RPN are therefore from a minimum value of one (1) to the maximum of one thousand (1,000). The larger the value of RPN, the more critical it becomes to evaluate that process or component under analysis.
Actions and process changes to mitigate issues with elevated RPN were recommended.
Six FMEA functional areas were prepared as follows: System Category Single Occurrence Process (Functional Area 1): The analysis contained within this section addresses the potential failure modes arising during a required full Alert Notification System activation.
The system-wide objectives analyzed are: first, the physical sounding of the sirens at their field locations and second, the subsequent reporting of the post activation status of those sirens.16-1 Continuous Operational Processes (Functional Area 2): The analysis contained within this section addresses the routine operation, control and functions and capabilities of the Alert Notification System and includes polling (including queries of control stations), silent tests, growl tests, full volume tests, monitoring and external notification.
Design Category Component Level Analysis: The analysis contained within this section addresses the potential failure modes of each component and their affects on activation, control and monitoring of the siren system.Separate spreadsheets were prepared for the Sirens (Functional Area 3), Control Stations (Functional Area 4) and Simulcast Towers (Functional Area 5).Software Categqory Software Applications Processes (Functional Area 6): The analysis contained within this section addresses software programs used at the control stations, simulcast towers and the sirens for activation, monitoring, and testing.FMEA Results Summary Overall, the FMEA review concluded that the design provides redundant and distinct communication paths for activating the siren system and monitoring results and that the system will be able to provide alert notification when required.
The design incorporates a high level of features for self-monitoring of the system and for conducting routine testing to confirm that communication channels are operating satisfactorily or to report problems.
The review also concluded that multiple failures would have to occur for the system to be unable to activate sirens when needed. Typically, all of the control stations and sirens are capable of being polled regularly during the day, unsolicited alarm messages are provided for major component failures at the simulcast towers, sirens and control stations, and alarm messages are generated for communication path failures.Loss of normal AC supply power at each location and siren system communication failures are reported externally to station personnel.
There is one communications channel, including control station, repeater tower, and sirens, that has battery power supplies credited for being capable of providing power for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> on loss of normal AC power.For each of the areas where potential failures were identified, recommendations, such as to conduct automatic routine polling of control stations and sirens and to review computer logs for results, were made to detect any failures that may have occurred and confirm that the system is in a ready state. Additionally, maintenance activities were identified to minimize potential failures, or additional testing or monitoring was recommended if there could be hidden problems that may not be identified by routine testing, thereby ensuring high system reliability to activate the sirens and verify their activation.
Recommended maintenance activities were captured in the corrective action program to track implementation of these activities.
1 6-2 17 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT The objective of configuration management is to maintain consistency between the design requirements and the physical siren system installation arrangement (as-built).
Procedures controlling the process for documenting as-built conditions, evaluating the need to change siren system configuration, determining the impact of the change and completing the necessary development and approval steps to produce an approved, implemented and documented change to the siren system are identified below. This ensures that information necessary to construct, operate and maintain the siren system so that it will continue to meet regulatory requirements is controlled and managed.Walkdowns, testing, inspections and assessments have been performed to document and create a permanent validated record of the system configuration.
IPEC has various procedures in place to control configuration changes to the siren system. Descriptions of the procedures in place at time of report writing are as follows:* EN-DC-1 12 -"Engineering Change Request and Project Initiation Process" This is a fleet standard engineering change and projects procedure which defines the process for initiation, funding, resources and approval.* EN-DC-1 15 -"Engineering Change Development' will work together with EN-DC-1 12 and will govern the preparation, review, approval and processing of an Engineering Change. The scope of the work to be performed is defined pursuant to this procedure.
- EN-DC-1 16 -"Engineering Change Installation" applies to and defines the installation phase of the Engineering Change.* EN-DC-1 17 -"Post Modification Testing & Special Instructions" is applied after the Engineering Change is installed.
This procedure gives guidance for functional testing to verify that objectives of configuration changes authorized by an Engineering Change are satisfied and/or verify required performance of associated equipment that may have been affected by the configuration change.* EN-DC-1 18 -"Engineering Change Closure" establishes the requirements and responsibilities for the Return to Service, Post Return to Service and Closeout of the Engineering Change including verification and documentation of the as-built configuration.
-Work Request Generation, Screening and Classification" is the procedure that governs the generation, screening and classification of work requests for changes to the siren system." IP-EP-AD31
-"IPEC ATI Siren System Maintenance Administration" is the IPEC Emergency Plan Administrative Procedure which is used to provide guidance for the inspection and maintenance of the siren system. If deficiencies are found while performing IP-EP-AD31, appropriate action will be determined to correct or install the required components while maintaining configuration of the siren system.* EN-IT-104
-Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Program will govern and control software/firmware upgrades to the siren system and ensure that they have been thoroughly reviewed and tested before being installed and implemented.
All changes to the approved, as-built siren system will be documented and controlled following the above mentioned procedures as appropriate for a commercial modification.

The procedure provides details on how to conduct a silent test, growl test, and full volume test, and polling of the system.An Indian Point Alert Notification Siren System manual has been prepared for each county which provides detailed instructions on how to activate, test, and poll the system.This manual also provides log in instructions, instructions for sounding sirens/cancelling activation from the computer and the REACT-4000, instructions for sounding other sirens/canceling activation from the computer, and printing reports. The manual contains color screen shots of the computer to facilitate the operation of the system.Additionally, operator aids containing abbreviated instructions have been provided to each county for display at each siren control station.System Testing Procedures IPEC Procedure IP-EP-AD30 establishes the administrative controls for the routine conduct of testing, test scheduling and coordination, test result reporting, and monitoring of the siren system.This procedure also provides examples of typical annual siren test schedules, sample siren test plans, guidelines for siren system quarterly and annual testing, system periodic testing, and sample siren test reports.System Maintenance Procedures IPEC Procedure IP-EP-AD31 provides guidance for the maintenance of the siren system.This procedure discusses the preventive and corrective maintenance performed on the system.Preventive maintenance is performed in three (3) areas: sirens sites, control stations, and tower repeater sites. This procedure details quarterly maintenance, semi-annual maintenance, and annual maintenance and provides checklists for each.The siren system preventative maintenance program consists of:*Visual inspection of the siren site which includes all external components and their mounting and connections (speakers, cabinet, and antenna, solar panels)pole integrity, grounding, foliage encroachment, and utility AC power feed.Internal inspections of each speaker and cabinet are performed to look for corrosion on components as well as verification that all connections are tight and 19-1 properly seated. Incoming AC power (not on solar), charger voltage (or solar regulator voltage) and DC battery voltage are checked and documented.
Radio and cell modem operation and alarm communications are checked locally and verified remotely with the control station.* Visual inspection of the control station includes the external antenna and cable installation outside the building as well as the control station cabinet to look for damaged or missing components as well as dust and debris. All connections, internally on the communications unit and externally to the computer, cell modem, printer, antennas, batteries and backup power supply are checked to look for corrosion on components as well as verification that all connections are tight and properly seated. Battery voltage is measured and recorded before, during and after performance testing. AC power to the control station is disconnected and a poll and silent test of the sirens is performed and documented while under battery power. Radio and cell modem operation and alarm communications are checked and verified.* Each control station computer is re-booted quarterly to ensure that no software or operational processes are in a "hung-up" state. Data network lines provided by commercial carriers are analyzed periodically for network errors." Visual inspection of the tower repeater site includes the external antennas, microwave dish and cable installations outside the building as well as looking for damaged or missing components.
The general condition of the repeater racks are noted for dust, debris and any loose, broken or missing hardware.
All connections to equipment in and between the racks are checked for corrosion on components as well as verification that all connections are tight and properly seated. Battery voltage is measured and recorded as well as battery charger output voltage. Repeater components are monitored for proper operation and any alarming conditions during the performance of a siren poll and silent test.'Corrective maintenance will be performed to remedy conditions identified during routine monitoring of the system.19-2 20 SIREN SYSTEM ROUTINE TESTING Routine testing of the system will be performed from the control stations.
The following will be performed as a minimum as suggested in NUREG-0654 and FEMA-REP-IO and IPEC's Failure Modes and Effects Analysis: " Routine polling will be performed to validate communications between control stations, towers, and sirens. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.* A weekly test of all sirens will be initiated from a control station to ensure the transmission path and the siren audio drivers are functional.
Testing will be initiated from various control stations using typical communications paths. The test makes a brief sound, which is audible to the public. The siren test checks the communication with the sirens in addition to checking the audio drivers.Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.* A quarterly growl (10-second activation) test will be initiated for each siren from a control station. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.* An annual full activation test will be conducted.
The full activation is an alert activation, which produces 3-5 minutes tone. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station(s).
Additionally, the following testing will be performed:
- A silent test will be performed following preventative maintenance at a siren.Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.* Additional testing will be performed by each county at their discretion.
20-1 21 QUALITY CONTROL An overall quality control program has been implemented to ensure the reliability of the siren system. Elements of the program include: design (configuration) control, document control, and software control as discussed in section 17, procedure use as discussed in section 19, and inspection and testing as discussed in this Section. Existing IPEC procedures and programs'are used as applicable for many of these elements.
The IPEC corrective action program is used to identify issues and track associated corrective actions.This program has been implemented during factory testing and testing both at installation and post installation.
Testing was also conducted for several siren configurations in a test lab. Additionally, a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, discussed in section 16, was conducted to identify system vulnerabilities as part of this quality control effort.Factory Testing ATI performed and documented acceptance tests on the Siren Cabinets (RTUs) and control stations in the factory before shipment to IPEC. The Siren Cabinet (RTU)inspection consisted of basic identification data being recorded including serial numbers, wiring diagrams, software/firmware versions, radio type and frequency used. The inspection also included checking all equipment mounting, connections and the condition of wiring to all components.
The units were powered up, and a checklist was completed based on measuring and documenting speaker resistance and DC voltages at various locations within the cabinet. In addition, the board-mounted function push buttons (reset, calibration, steady tone, silent test, low power and off) were tested to verify that their respective functions performed satisfactorily with the proper illumination of their LEDs. Lastly, the installed software was tested to verify successful programming, polling and reporting of required alarms.The control stations were tested at the factory as follows: Identifying information for each location was recorded which consists of serial numbers, wiring diagrams, software version, radio type and frequency used, wattage and DIP switch settings and battery information.
The inspection included verification that all equipment connections and the condition of wiring to all components were correct. Voltage measurements were taken on the REACT-4000 circuit boards and battery voltage was recorded.
REACT-4000 software was programmed and verified and then polling was performed using radio only, IP link only and both paths to ensure software performed as designed.
A silent test was performed as well as REACT-4000 alarm verification for various alarm features.Additional polling and activations were performed and documented using the software with the computer turned off and using the REACT 4000 unit only.A factory test was performed by Microwave Data Systems (MDS) on the microwave and simulcast system for the repeater equipment located at Harriman, Grasslands, Tinker and the IPEC Met Tower. The radios and the Harris multiplex equipment were powered up per their operating manuals, and function was verified and documented.
Signal; strength was measured and "end to end" radio tests were performed to verify the ability:of the radio to send tones to "key" the repeater.
This was done on both the microwave and the "TI" side of the equipment.
The radio system was powered OFF then ON to 21-1 verify link synchronization without triggering alarms. Also, the GPS clock signal was turned ON and OFF to verify the ability to keep link synchronization in both conditions.
Results of the factory acceptance tests were reviewed.
See Appendix D for an overview of the General Factory Acceptance Test steps.Software Quality Assurance Software Quality Assurance (SQA) was performed to provide adequate confidence that software conforms to established requirements throughout its life cycle.The scope of the SQA inspection ensured that the delivered Alert and Notification System software component is complete, correct, and meets the specified requirements.
The inspection was conducted on the available software media, documents or other formal deliverable products.The following SQA activities were performed:
- Collected documentation
- Conducted a software requirements review*Reviewed the relevant process documentation to ensure that evidence exists that the required procedures for software acceptance have been completed*Documented findings in the corrective action program*Reviewed the current corrective action status and the software to ensure that evidence exists that all previously noted deficiencies have been resolved*Verified that all deficiencies from peer reviews, and tests have been resolved Field Testing Testing at Installation ATI documented the installation and initial setup of each RTU siren cabinet in the field on a Field Checkout sheet. Siren numbers were recorded as well as firmware version loaded and radio serial numbers. The overall condition of the siren installation was checked including proper mounting of all equipment, checking wiring and connections on circuit boards, antenna connections, measurement of speaker impedances, battery voltage, charger voltage and voltage measurements on the siren boards, radio and modem. The sirens were calibrated and the unit was programmed from a REACT-4000 and verified for normal radio contact. A silent test was performed and the door switch, thermostat and heater were checked.Control stations and repeater equipment were installed in their required locations and inspected for overall condition.
All wiring and connections were inspected.
Post Installation Testing and Inspection Post installation testing and ýinspections have been performed in accordance with approved procedures.
Testing included operation under degraded battery conditions, verification of polling and siren activation, and verification of alarms for loss of AC power.This testing is further discussed in Appendix D.21-2 Inspections have been, performed to verify that the siren system configuration and condition is acceptable prior to declaring system operability.
Following installation, an independent verification
'inspection of the overall condition of the siren installation was performed which included checking the proper mounting of all equipment, checking wiring, polarity and connections on circuit boards and speakers, antenna connections, measurement of speaker impedances, battery voltage, charger voltage and voltage measurements on the siren boards, radio and modem. A silent test was then performed and the sirens were calibrated and verified for normal radio and TCP/IP contact. The door switch, thermostat and heater were also checked.At the towers, hardware and software configuration settings as well as switch and jumper settings were documented.
All wiring and connections were inspected and verified to conform to the applicable vendor wiring diagrams.
Corrections to these diagrams were made based on these inspections.
The post installation inspections addressed the following:
- The stiff speaker wiring cables in the siren control cabinet can be made more flexible by stripping back the outer cable jacket allowing connections to be maintained more reliably.* Nyogel grease should be applied to driver terminal connections to prevent corrosion." Silicone should be applied to the cell modem antennas to prevent water intrusion.
- A weep hole should be drilled into the bottom of the speaker cover to prevent water accumulation inside the cover.* Local calibration and silent testing of the siren is required for successful operation.
- Speaker wires need to be checked for correct phasing for proper sound output.* Speaker wire connectors in the cabinet need to be checked for proper contact with the wire." The driver and cable resistance should be satisfactory prior to performing calibration." The timing signals for the control stations should be connected to a national time standard.e Siren amplifier boards should to be reprogrammed and reconfigured for the particular application.
Anomalies discovered during the testing and inspections were documented and resolved using the corrective action program.21-3 Acoustic Testing Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) conducted acoustic testing for the IPEC sirens.This testing included both anechoic chamber and open field testing. The testing collected data to support the determination of the siren characteristics pertinent to their acoustic performance.
This testing is further discussed in section 14. Results of this testing are also provided in Appendix B.21-4 22 CONCLUSION As a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, IPEC elected to install a new ANS system consisting of fixed electronic sirens capable of providing an alert for twenty-four (24)hours after a loss of normal AC power. The battery backup power feature ensures system components operate securely in the event of power failure. The design of the new system also minimizes single points of failure.The IPEC ANS consists of sirens, broadcasted emergency information, and high speed telephone notification.
This system meets the guidelines set forth in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) regulations, 44 CFR Part 350, Planning Standard E, Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, and the Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants (FEMA-REP-1 0).The sirens were installed on steel poles which extend pole life and withstand environmental challenges.
Additionally, susceptible siren wiring is protected from damage because they are installed within the metal poles.One hundred and fifty-two (152) sirens are omni-directional and fifteen (15) use the bi-directional configuration.
The communication control system uses eleven control stations that are designed to have complete control and monitoring capabilities over all sirens in the system.Each county has complete activation control and monitoring over the sirens used to alert its county from all control stations located within its county and can monitor the activation of all sirens via the computer display. Each county can also monitor sirens from bordering counties that may affect their county. All counties can also activate other counties' sirens if agreed upon. The two control stations at IPEC can also activate all of the sirens if needed.Twenty-four hour battery capability is provided to meet the backup power requirements of the Energy Policy Act. The design includes this capability for each siren, each control station and one of the redundant radio paths at the repeater towers. Twenty-four hour battery capability is also provided for the second redundant radio path and the wireless TCP/IP equipment installed at the sirens, control stations and repeaters, with the exception of the T1 telephone lines and the TCP/IP network, which are maintained by Verizon (Telco).The system incorporates reliable communication and post activation polling using radio and TCP/IP communication.
There are two separate and distinct communication paths used to convey activation and monitoring messages between the control stations and the remote sirens: dedicated redundant simulcast radio systems and a cellular TCP/IP system. The design eliminates single points of siren communication failures since multiple control stations can communicate to every assigned siren by either communication path.The communication and control system reliability testing performed in 2007 for the microwave synchronized simulcast radio activation and control mode has demonstrated high reliability (greater than 97%) with a greater than 95% confidence.
This activation and control mode has battery power supplies confirmed to provide 24-hour backup 22-1 power in the event of a loss of normal AC power. Furthermore, the testing has not revealed any unanticipated failure modes.Acoustic testing at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) included both anechoic chamber and open field testing. The testing collected data to support the determination of the siren characteristics pertinent to their acoustic performance.
The testing demonstrated that the siren output is steady, repeatable, and reproducible.
The siren sound contours of 60 and 70 dBC within the IPEC EPZ were calculated by a computer model developed by ATI. The ATI model demonstrates that the 70 dB sound output criterion is met in high population areas requiring 70 dB coverage and the 60 dB sound output criterion is met in low population areas requiring 60 dB coverage.To further confirm the quality of the ATI predictions, acoustic measurements were also taken in the far field. These measurements were compared to the predicted sound pressure levels for these locations.
A bulk average deviation method was used to analyze this data. Close alignment was shown between the predicted values and measured values using this bulk average method.The siren system as designed exceeds FEMA-REP-10 guidance based on the sound contours generated by the ATI acoustic model using 114 dBC as siren output. Modeling indicates that sound coverage meets requirements down to a siren output of 112 dBC.The controlled testing at GTRI showed an average siren output range of 115.2 to 117.4 dBC measured during outdoor testing. This design using a 114 dBC siren output is conservative by up to 5.4 dBC of margin.Inspections have been performed to verify that the siren system configuration and condition is acceptable prior to declaring system operability.
These inspections have ensured a high level of material readiness that will maintained through an ongoing siren maintenance program.22-2 APPENDIX A LISTING OF ACRONYMS AC Alternating Current ANS Alert and Notification System ANSI American National Standards Institute ATI Acoustic Technology, Inc.CAP Common Alerting Protocol CCU Communications Control Unit CR Condition Report dB Decibel dBA Decibels (A- weighted scheme)dBC Decibels (C-weighted scheme)DC Direct Current DOD Department of Defense DTMF Dual Tone Multi-Frequency EAS Emergency Alert System EOC Emergency Operations Center EOF Emergency Operations Facility EPZ Emergency Planning Zone ERP Effective Radiated Power F Fahrenheit FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency FMEA Failure Modes and Effects Analysis FSK Frequency Shift Keying A-1 GIS Geographical Information Service GPS Global Positioning System HPSS High Power Speaker Station Hz Hertz IP Internet Protocol IPEC Indian Point Energy Center LAN Local Area Network LED Light Emitting Diode Leq Equivalent Sound Pressure Level Ln Sound Pressure Level exceeded n percent of the time M Meter MHz Megahertz MPH Miles Per Hour NEMA National Electrical Manufacturers Assoc.NRC Nuclear Regulatory Commission NRTC National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative PIP Palisades Interstate Park System RECS Radiological Emergency Communications System RF Radio Frequency RH Relative Humidity RPM Revolutions Per Minute A-2 RTU Remote Terminal Unit SAB Siren Amplifier Board SAIC Science Applications International Corporation SPL Sound Pressure Level TAR Tone Alert Radio TCP Transmission Control Protocol TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply USGS United State Geographical Survey VAC Volts Alternating Current VDC Volts Direct Current A-3 APPENDIX B INDEPENDENT TEST OF THE IPEC PROMPT ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM Georgia Tech M 400 W. 10th Street, N.W.Atlanta, GA 30332-0844 Independent Test of the IPEC Prompt Alert Notification System Prepared by: R. J. Gaeta, Ph.D.Senior Research Engineer rick.gaetaggtri.gatech.edu 404-407-7805 Aerospace and Acoustics Technologies Division Aerospace, Transportation, and Advanced Systems Laboratory Georgia Tech Research Institute B-1 Independent testing of the Indian Point Energy Center's (IPEC) Prompt Alert Notification System Sirens were performed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) during the time frame of October 1 6 th, 2007 and December 1 9 th, 2007. Tests were performed in an anechoic chamber and at an outdoor test site, both GTRI test facilities.
This document certifies that GTRI measured and reported sound pressure levels of these sirens using accepted and standard research techniques.
Anechoic Chamber Siren Acoustic Measurements Testing of both omni-directional and bi-directional siren systems (produced by Acoustic Technology, Inc.) were performed in GTRI's large anechoic facility.
A special mount was designed and fabricated for testing in the anechoic chamber. The sirens were mounted horizontally on a spit-like apparatus that was conducive to rotation and ease of testing alternate speaker horn pairs. Figure la shows as schematic of this siren mount Figure l b shows a photograph of the actual installation.

Actual siren installed in anechoic chamber.Figure 1 Siren mounting apparatus used for anechoic chamber testing at GTRI.B-2 Instrumentation The sound pressure level transducers used during the test were 1/4-inch Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) 4939 condenser microphones.
These microphones use a A-inch to '1/2-inch adaptor to a B&K 2669 pre-amplifier (factory specification:
<0.05 dB @ 500 Hz). The acoustic signals were conditioned with a B&K 2690 Nexus instrumentation amplifier (factory specification:
+/- 0.02 dB accuracy) before being processed by a multi-channel Data Physics Abacus dynamic signal analyzer (factory specification:
+/- 0.02 dB).Calibration of microphones was performed each day of testing. The effect of all of the instrumentation is that the sound pressure levels are measured with an accuracy less than 0.1 dB and the measured frequency is within +/- 1 Hz.Data Acquisition Acoustic sound pressure levels (SPLs) were acquired using condenser microphones.
The electronic signals from the microphones were conditioned through a pre-amplifier, an instrumentation amplifier and filter, and a dynamic signal analyzer.
These components are standard considered state-of-the-art for measuring acoustic pressures with the types of condenser microphones used in these experiments.
A total of 12 microphones were used in the anechoic chamber. Nine microphones were arranged in a cross-array on 1 foot centers, see Figure 2. The three remaining microphones were placed in reference locations near the siren, and at positions midway (but off axis) from the siren to the microphone array.H MIb #1 MIG #2 MIb#6 MIc#7 MIc#3 Mbo#8 MIo#9-- -- -0 _0 MIG#4 0 MI0#Figure 2 Microphone array as seen by the siren speakers in the anechoic chamber.Figure 3 shows how this microphone array was positioned relative to the siren in the anechoic chamber.

A summary of the individual tests that contributed to the values in Table 1 is contained in the first and third volume of GTRI's final report to Entergy [GTRI D5600_Volume 1 Final Report, GTRI D5600_Volume 3 Final Report].Mic #3 Leq Omni Directional Sirens Average => 129.7 dBC Predicted at 100 ft => 115.0 dBC Bi-Directional Sirens Average => 132.0 dBC Predicted at 100 ft => 117.3 dBC Table 1 Average results for omni-directional and bi-directional sirens tested in GTRI's anechoic chamber. Levels measured at a nominal 18.5 ft sounding at 576 Hz.B-4 Outdoor Siren Acoustic Measurements Acoustic Technology, Inc. (ATI) sirens were tested outdoors adhering to ANSI S12.14-1992 standard.
The test site was located in Smyrna, GA on the properties of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). The ATI omni-directional siren system consists of eight speaker homs. These speaker homs are mounted on top of a 50 foot pole with two homs pointing in orthogonal directions (each pair facing 900 apart). Figure 4 shows a photograph of this siren system mounted on a pole at the test site. Each speaker horn is driven by four acoustic drivers, each with an average power output of 100 Watts. Thus, the entire siren system has 3200 Watts of power.A total of seven omni-directional sirens were 3tested outdoors.
These were provided by Entergy, UInc. The first four were taken off poles in the Figure 4 ATI omni-directional field and first tested in GTRI's anechoic chamber siren system mounted at the GTRI before being tested outside. The last three were outdoor test facility, new siren systems from the factory. In addition, amplifier boards, batteries and the field box used to store the electronics was also supplied to GTRI.Site Description The selected site for outdoor testing was part of a GTRI radar testing range. The site consisted of a mostly flat, large field approximately 200 feet by 600 feet in extent. At one far comer was a radar tower. The opposite end of the field was bounded by a horseshoe of trees over 75 in height. At this location, a wooden pole was installed that rose 50 feet from the ground. Atop this pole the sirens were affixed. The radar tower was approximately 500 feet from the pole and the field was covered in grass. Figure 5 shows a photograph of the test site as seen from the top of the radar tower.Measurement Position Measurements were made at several locations Outdoor Test Field along a line that was in the direction of a speaker Figure 5 GTRI outdoor test site.horn pair. In addition to measurements at 100 ft in accordance with the ANSI standard, measurements were made at 18.5 feet, 200 feet, and for selected soundings 400 feet. Microphones were installed along the measurement axis on man lifts that positioned the microphones 50 feet above the ground. An array of five microphones was placed at 18.5 feet. A fixed microphone placed at the 100 foot location.
In addition (in accordance with the ANSI standard), a person held a microphone on a boom and rotated around the fixed microphone slowly in a two foot B-5 radius. At the base of the 100 foot location, a microphone was installed on a tripod about 5 feet off the ground. Fixed microphones were placed at the 200 foot and 400 foot locations.

A utility box about 7 feet tall was located near 300 ft from the siren pole. This was not a big structure and didn't interfere with the ANSI standard 100 ft measurement location.B-6 All distances both along the ground and vertically were accurate to within 6 inches.

Wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity were measured at the 100 ft (50 ft elevation) location as well as at the top of the siren location using a Young Model 81000 3-Axis Ultrasonic Anemometer weather station. Generally there was little or no cloud cover for these readings.
Temperatures ranged from 49.2 F to 67.9 OF with the relative humidity ranging from 45% to 50%. The ambient pressure varied from 14.15 psia to 14.23 psia. No measurements were recorded with greater than 10 mph wind speed.Ambient Noise Level Ambient noise at the GTRI test site fluctuated with automobile traffic and aircraft traffic from the adjacent Naval Air Station and Lockheed-Martin flight line operations.
Testing was never initiated while planes were taking off or landing or taxing. Over the course of the outdoor testing the ambient noise levels were between 60 and 75 dBC. These levels are at least 30 dB lower than the sound of interest (the sirens) ensuring uncorrupted sound measurements.
Instrumentation The sound pressure level transducers used during the test were 1/4-inch Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) 4939 condenser microphones.
These microphones use a 1/4-inch to 1/22-inch adaptor to a B&K 2669 pre-amplifier (factory specification:
<0.05 dB @ 500 Hz). The acoustic signals were conditioned with a B&K 2690 Nexus instrumentation amplifier (factory specification:
+/- 0.02 dB accuracy) before being processed by a multi-channel Data Physics Abacus dynamic signal analyzer (factory specification:
+/- 0.02 dB).Calibration of microphones was performed each day of testing. The effect of all of the B-7 instrumentation is that the sound pressure levels are measured with accuracy less than 0.1 dB and the measured frequency is within +/- 1 Hz.Test Results Table 2 summarizes the results of the Omni-directional and Bi-directional speakers tested outdoors for a sounding frequency of 576 Hz. Both the moving microphone average Leq and the stationary microphone Leq at 100 ft on axis are shown. A summary of the individual tests that contributed to the values in Table 2 is contained in the second and third volume of GTRI's final report to Entergy [GTRI D5600_Volume 2 Final Report and GTRI D5600_Volume 3 Final Report].Moving Mic Leq@100' [dBC]Stationary Mic Leq@100' [dBC]Omni Directional Sirens Average => 117.4 dBC 115.2 dBC Bi-Directional Sirens Average => 118.7 dBC 116.7 dBC Table 2 Average Leq results for omni-directional and bi-directional sirens tested in GTRI's outdoor testing range.

Measurements made using ANSI S12.14-1992 Standard Senior Research Engineer Aerospace, Transportation, and Advanced Systems Laboratory Georgia Tech Research Institute B-8 APPENDIX C AMBIENT NOISE SURVEY Blue Ridge Research and Consulting, LLC (BRRC) collected ambient sound levels at 13 locations within the IPEC EPZ. These locations were selected to coincide with locations where the sound level of a full system test was also collected.
These locations were selected to generally be in high population density areas. The GPS coordinates and maps of the measurement locations can be found in BRRC's Final Report 1.The thirteen locations are briefly described in the next table. Note that all of these locations were selected because they are generally in high density population areas with greater than 2,000 people per square mile.Table C-1. Location and Description of the Ambient Measurement Locations.

The SLMs used for this project were the Larson Davis 824S 2 and 831s 3.Before each meter was put into service, its calibration was checked, and a calibration tone was recorded on each meter. After each test, another calibration tone was recorded on each of the meters to verify proper functioning.
The Model 831 SLMs were programmed to collect data every 1 second, while the Model 824s were only able to collect data every 6 seconds (due to memory limitations).
Each SLM was programmed to collect third octave band data over the entire period they were in the field. The data was collected from August 16 through August 18, 2007.1 "General Acoustical Analysis of the New Indian Point Siren System -Final Report', August 2007, Blue Ridge Research and Consulting.
2 Larson Davis, 2004, "Model 824 Sound Level Meter Reference Manual" 3 Larson Davis, 2006, "Model 831 Sound Level Meter Operation Manual" C-1 Since weather plays an important role in noise propagation, and has an effect on the local ambient noise, weather data for the three days was also collected during the acoustic measurements.
There are many different ways to examine the ambient acoustical environment from data collected by a SLMs. The primary method utilizes the percent time exceeded metrics, such as the L50, which represents the sound level that is exceeded 50 percent of the time. For ambient sound levels the L50 represents a conservative representation of the currently occurring sound levels at a location.
However, looking at the L90 helps to describe the quieter sound levels. The L90 represents the sound level that is exceeded 90% of the time and generally indicates the background levels of neighborhood without any noise intrusions.
The L10, on the other hand, is the level that is only exceeded 10 percent of thetime and provides insight into the level of major noise intrusions occurring within a neighborhood.
Table C-2 shows the cumulative Li 0, L50, and the L90 percent time exceedances for all of the areas measured.
The data is presented for the 2 8 th third octave band (TOB)(centered at 630 Hz) which is third octave band where the majority of siren energy is.The data was processed only for the hours from 7 AM to 10 PM.Table C-2. The Cumulative Exceedances for the 2 8 th TOB (630 Hz).Exceedance in dB Location L10 L50 L90 Cortlandt 43.0 38.0 33.0 Peekskill 40.0 35.0 28.0 Lake Peekskill 44.0 34.0 27.0 Putnam Valley 39.0 32.0 25.0 Croton 52.0 49.0 46.0 Yorktown 44.0 38.0 32.0 Mohegan Lake 35.0 28.0 24.0 Ossining 45.0 38.0 33.0 Fort Montgomery 36.2 30.2 28.2 Haverstraw 44.6 40.6 37.9 Highland Falls 41.4 37.2 32.9 New City 44.4 37.9 33.1 Stony Point 42.8 40.8 39.4 None of the L50 levels are higher than 49 dB. This means that any siren level that reaches the required 70 dB for high population density areas will be clearly audible above the ambient background noise.Ambient Sound Variation with Time The background noise level changes with time. This change is due to random activity during any given day, and it is also-a function of the change in daily activity for both the people and the animals living in the area. Figure C-1 shows a sample of the hourly exceedances for Peekskill NY. This figure shows the hourly L10, L50, and the L90 for the three days that the meter was in the field. Here, both the daily cycle of the background noise as well as random intrusions into the background noise can be seen.Note that the large increases shown in the L10 levels are not represented in the L50 nor C-2 the L90. This is because the L10 represents momentary intrusions into the background noise while the L50 and the L90 represent the more constant noise levels in the background.
From this plot it appears that, for this location, the quietest hour is shortly after midnight, and the loudest part of the day is around noon daily.I'z 50 45 a o z._1 40 35 30 25 I -I I I I I I I L ..... .L ...-.L ----- L -....... ...A ...* .....* a a a I a a.- ........-

Time History of Hourly Exceedances for Peekskill, NY.Conclusion BRRC conducted ambient noise measurements in thirteen locations within the EPZ for three consecutive days in August of 2007. The daytime (7 AM to 10 PM) noise data from these measurements was used to compute the local ambient noise environment.
The exceedance levels of L10, L50, and L90 were computed in the 2 8 th third octave band, centered on 630 Hz. The L90 levels, representative of the ambient background sound levels, ranged from 25 dB to 46 dB. The L50 levels, representative of the average sound conditions, ranged from 28 dB to 59 dB. The L10 levels, representative of the infrequent and transient noise intrusions, ranged from 35 dB to 52 dB.C-3 APPENDIX D INITIAL TESTING Siren system testing was performed in two parts: factory acceptance testing and the instal lation/start-up site testing..GENERAL FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TEST PLAN A.

D-4 APPENDIX E LESSONS LEARNED In 2005, an evaluation of the former electro-mechanical IPEC alert and notification siren system was conducted to evaluate failure modes and causes. The following lessons were learned: Points of Failure Within the former electro-mechanical siren system there were several single points of failure that had system-wide repercussions.
The most significant of these was the primary communications device that transmitted activation signals to the sirens and received siren performance feedback data. The system used the IPEC meteorology tower, a 100-meter tall structure, to support the transmitter.
If this transmitter was not available, it was not possible to activate sirens.Each siren was itself also a potential point of failure. Because the siren consisted of a single rotating element, any failure that disabled that element prevented either siren rotation or siren sounding or both. Failure in this mode could have occurred as a result of a power outage or mechanical interference with the mechanical components.
The pair of host computers that sent activation signals was located at the IPEC Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). Even though these were redundant computers, their proximity made them susceptible to common failure modes.Subgroups of sirens were activated via transmission of radio signals from repeaters located on selected sirens. A repeater failure could have constituted a single point of failure for a subgroup of sirens.To avoid these failure modes, the new siren system has the following features: Siren activation and monitoring is accomplished using simultaneous transmission over a variety of pathways.
These include a radio system utilizing higher power radios with a 4-tower simulcast repeater system that is independent of the sirens (sirens are not used as store/forward repeaters to siren subgroups as in the former system) to broadcast activation signals and receive monitoring information.
A wireless TCP/IP communications system broadcasts activation signals and receives monitoring information.
The TCP/IP mode operates in parallel with the radio communications mode. This design eliminates single point communications failures.* The siren rotation sensor that could cause an electro-mechanical single point of failure was eliminated through the installation of fixed omni-directional and fixed bi-directional electronic sirens.* Each omni-directional siren pole has a total of eight siren horns mounted in two banks of four. Each of the siren horns has four independent speaker-drivers.
A E-1 failure in a single driver leaves three remaining drivers within that siren horn.Failure of a single driver associated with speaker horns in one direction does not reduce sound coverage in the EPZ below an acceptable level.Host computers for the siren system are located at multiple locations.
In each county, host computers are located at not less than two locations (warning point and emergency operations center). Those locations are physically separated and have separate backup power supplies.
In this way, a failure of a single computer will not disable the system.Communications Monitoring The former electro-mechanical siren system utilized frame relay telephone connectivity from activation sites to the host computer.
The frame relay system was monitored at the host computer but failures were not automatically reported to responsible personnel until two modifications were made to the frame relay system in 2005 that caused responsible personnel to be notified of pathway failures.The new siren system provides for automatic notification of responsible persons in the event of communications pathway failures.
Sirens and control stations are polled on a regular basis; the polling is normally initiated from the GSB or EOF control stations and may be conducted over the two radio paths or over the TCP/IP paths. Failures are displayed on the control station and trigger a notification to responsible personnel.
Upon loss of AC power at any control station, notification is made to selected IPEC personnel.
The display status changes for loss or inoperability of any county control station or for complete loss of any siren within that county.Diagnostic Device Failures The former electro-mechanical siren system employed a series of diagnostic devices and computer logic relating the monitoring of these devices to determine whether or not the siren was in a ready state and, if activation was demanded, whether or not the siren performed its intended function.
Several of these diagnostic devices had histories of failure as described below. These included the siren rotation sensor and sound detection acoustic sensor. The design of the new system eliminates these problematic diagnostic devices. In the new system, there are no rotation sensors because these are fixed sirens. The amplifier includes sensitive power monitoring circuits that monitor the state of the amplifier, speakers, and cables without external devices.Failure History The former system utilized electro-mechanical sirens installed in the 1980's. A 10 or 15 HP AC motor was used to compress air between a stator and rotor to generate the siren discrete tones. The noise generated was projected to a larger distance by a horn. That same motor was used to rotate the horn to generate 3600 of sound coverage.
The horn rotated at low speed (3-4 rpm) through the use of gears and a chain. To operate, the siren needed a 208-230 volt AC power feed and was activated by a radio signal.E-2 In order to understand the failure modes of the former system, IPEC analyzed it over a three year period (2003, 2004, and 2005). The data provided were collected through several sensors such as an audio (acoustic) sensor, rotation sensor, etc. During the period reported, 1,560 activations were evaluated.
The system reported 101 siren failures.The failures during activations, as reported, were: " Rotation sensor 58 failures" Audio sensor (siren noise) 22 failures* Communications 8 failures* AC power 12 failures* Other 1 failure The operational experience of the former system indicated that rotation failures had a major impact on the system performance.
If a siren failed to rotate, the horn projected sound in only one direction.
This led to only 10% of the 3600 expected sound coverage for the failing siren.Table E-1 provides a failure history as documented in IPEC Condition Reports. These reports document conditions adverse to quality during activations or discovered during preventive maintenance.
In addition, Table E-1 identifies the features of the new system that address those failures.E-3 Table E-1. Entergy Condition Reports (CR)from January 2004 to February 2006 CR Condition

Intraplex T M SynchroCast System Newrkn Soluions SynchroCast System> Make better use of available frequencies
> Improve coverage area including in-building use> Fill in shadowed areas with booster transmitters Proven Harris Intraplex Technology SynchroCast is based on the Intraplex Access Server, a proven multiplexing product for the mobile radio and critical communications markets. It uses GPS technology to establish radio frequency and networking delay references.
Intraplex SynchroCast Allows you to use a limited number of radio frequencies to cover a wide area of coverage.
Turning a portion of your mobile radio network into a simulcast radio improves penetration in areas with marginal coverage.
Adding simulcast can also allow you to increase the channel capacity of your radio system without adding additional frequencies to your network. Smaller radio systems can now gain the advantages of proven Intraplex SynchroCast technology without the need to install a completely new radio system.
ADV 3224 7/8/05 11:42 AM Page 2 Using Precise Timing from GPS Satellites Now, for the first time, mobile radio system operators can install a simulcast radio system on a single channel or an entire mobile radio system without having to install a completely new system.The SynchroCast system makes new GPS-based technology available to older mobile radio networks.It gives users easy control of system functions that are critical to adjusting the coverage area to achieve desired performance.
The Harris product also provides reference signals to the base station for precise control of channel frequencies.
The system uses either T1 or E1 transmission lines now readily available from Telco carriers or via private networks.
These can be traditional land based, microwave or fiber optic links, In fact, these systems can include a combination of public and private network links and still precisely control the necessary parameters to achieve peak simulcast performance.
Adding fill-in transmitters for shadowed areas.A location that is shadowed because of a geographical feature can now use simulcast to add the necessary coverage without having to apply for an additional frequency.
SynchroCast automatically adjusts for network links delays The SynchroCast system works with most Harris Intraplex channels modules. For conventional radio systems, model numbers VF-25 (4 Wire) or VF-28 (4 Wire Tx only) can be used for the voice channels of the system. The standard voice channels may also be used for simulcast paging systems. Data channels operating at 9.6 kbps are available for newer digital voice mobile radio systems. The SynchroCast system will automatically adjust for any link delays that occur from network rerouting.
The delay is sampled once per second. If a change in delay persists for two seconds SynchroCast will initiate a delay correction.
Once the delay correction is started the shift in delay time is done seamlessly without interruption to the system operation.
Why use SynchroCast?
Make better use of available frequencies With a limited set of frequencies available for mobile radio applications, getting to most from the ones you own is essential.
By simulcasting the current frequencies, the operator can increase the coverage and typically the channels of the radio system.SynchroCast System Requirements SynchroCast is ordered as an add-on package to the Intraplex Access Server system. The SynchroCast Package includes the timing modules, data transmission modules, and digital delay modules necessary for synchronizing the control site and two base station sites.Increase coverage and channels without adding frequencies.
A simple radio system may use 3 frequencies distributed over an area to provide coverage.Converting this to a simulcast system allows the user to cover the same area with one frequency.
This will release the two additional frequencies for reuse as more channels on the radio system or for use by another agency.SynchroCast Expansion The expansion package includes the timing module, data transmission modules, and digital delay module for each additional basestation site beyond the first two.GPS Receiver One GPS receiver is required for each base station site in the system and the control point site.Improve in-building coverage Simulcast often improves coverage inside of buildings.
This is driven by the RF penetrating the exterior from different sides and thus increasing the likelihood of having radio access inside the building.Consult Harris Networking and Government solutions for recommended models.Li Specifications are subject to change.

TJ4RRI INTRAPLEX CROSSCONNECT SYSTEMS INCREASE OVERALL TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY T1 and El digital transmission services allow users to combine voice, data, LAN, video, program audio and other specialized communications services on a single circuit.This can result in significant cost savings over use of individual, un-bundled services, while providing the high quality transmission capabilities available only through digital facilities.
When communications requirements or geography demand connectivity among several different sites, the network fabric may grow to include multiple, meshed Tt or El lines. Intraplex CrossConnect Systems and Servers can help manage these lines to ensure the most efficient use of the available transmission capacity and reduce costs. For example, circuits carrying phone traffic during the day can be reconfigured to carry batch data traffic at night, while existing, underutilized timeslots can be redeployed to accommodate network growth.Intraplex CrossConnect Systems and Servers give users complete flexibility to combine, interconnect and multicast traffic among up to six Tt or Et lines. In addition, the CrossConnect Server accepts a wide variety of plug-in modules for integrated drop and insert of voice, data, program audio, and video services.Users can program and monitor both systems remotely, using the IntraGuideTM Windows-based user interface.
Visual times/ot mapping features allow users to easily program CrossConnect links.CrossConnect maps can be copied for off-line editing and then uploaded to the unit.CROSSCONNECT HIGHLIGHTS:

System Expansion to 36ZSites by Daisy-Chaining Multiple SNV-12s." 5.25" High by 19" Wide Rack-Mount Modular Card-Cage Package.The SNV-1 2 uses separate Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to continuously select the receiver with the best Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) from multiple remote sites. This is a vital function in two types of applications.
The first is a two-way radio application in which mobiles and portables can hear a repeater, but the repeater can not always hear the mobiles and portables.
By positioning remote receivers in the communi-cations deadspots, audio from each receiver can be linked to the voter via: microwave, landline, twisted pair or fiber optics. With the unit provid-ing the "voted" (best SNR) output to the repeater for rebroadcast, all mobiles and portables can hear each other since the repeater can hear them all. The second application involves a critical message sent simultaneously via several trans-mission mediums, or by several transmitters on different frequencies in the same frequency band.In this "Diversity Reception" application, the mes-sage is picked up by multiple receivers while the SNV-1 2 always selects the signal with the best SNR at any given moment.
SN-1 SinlT-os Voter DSP Voting The Site Voter Module uses aspectral approach to continu-ously measure the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the audio signal received from each receiv-er site. The signal amplitude is measured by a JPS proprietary speech detection and measure-ment algorithm.
Noise is meas-ured separately by the same algorithm.
The SNR result is cal-culated by dividing the signal amplitude by that of the noise and operates from -6 dB to +36 dB in approximately 1.4 dB steps.The SNV-12 continuously checks all inputs and ensures that the best SNR signal is voted. Thus, even if the signal is emanating from a moving vehicle, the SNV-12 will output the best signal at all times.Voting voice signals allows tran-sitions in mid-syllable without harm to the intelligibility, but when voting data, transitions from one receiver site to another causes bit errors and synchro-nization problems.
Thus, to vote data, the Site Voter Modules make a decision initially on the best data signal and then lock onto that receiver path until the data transmission is complete.Data voting algorithms and soft-ware are special order options to the SNV-12, since the Site Voter Modules must be equipped with software defining the data's char-acteristics for the spectral meas-urement of SNR. The DSP SNR determination makes the SNV-12 an extremely accurate selector of the best available voice or data channel.Local and Remote Control Front panel switches and status LEDs offer local control of the unit by allowing receiver sites to be forcibly selected, disabled and monitored.
The SNV-12 provides both parallel and serial remote control, so interfacing with a PC or with any of a variety of indus-try-standard dispatch consoles is straightforward.
Fault indica-tors on each of the modules pro-vide quick warning of problems.A faulty Site Voter Module is automatically and immediately removed from voting considera-tion. A front panel speaker and headphone jack on the Console Interface Module allow continu-ous monitoring of the currently voted receiver audio.Repeater Control When controlling a repeater, the SNV-12 offers three means of producing the necessary COR signal. Two of these approaches are common in public safety applications since both offer a quick method of detecting a faulty remote receiver or a faulty link. In the first, the voter pro-duces a COR output signal for the repeater which is derived from COR inputs provided by each remote receiver.
In the sec-ond case, the voter's C0R output is derived from the absence of pilot tones (line proving tones)which each remote receiver pro-duces until it becomes unsquelched.
Pilot tone frequen-cies of 1950 Hz, 2175 Hz and 2700 Hz are supported; others are available on special order.The other approach is less com-mon: remote receivers are squelched when not in use and the DSP uses its voice recogni-tion algorithm to issue the COR signal.MOBILE MOBILE phone line, microwave link, or twisted pair MOBILE I SNV-1 2 VOTED RCV PTT MOBILE Repeater System Using the SNV- 12 Voter with 12 Receivers Raytheon JPS Communications SNV-12 Signal-To-Noise Voter BASE RCV AUD 2 Remote Transmitter Associated With Voted Receiver Used For Reply to Remote Mobile System Expansion Two additional SNV-12s may be connected to the first, each expanding the number of voting sites by up to twelve additional inputs. This expansion capability is implemented by daisy-chaining one SNV-12 to the next via rear panel connectors, up to a practi-cal maximum of three chassis or 36 site inputs. Signals between master and slave units include a serial data bus which allows one SNV-12 to exchange information with the next one in the chain. A Voted Audio bus transfers the best voted audio signal between units.Transmit Steering In transmit steering applications, the transmitter associated with the current best voted receiver is used for a reply to a nearby mobile or portable radio. In this situation, the CPU Module pro-vides for automatic routing of console transmit audio and key-ing information to the proper remote transmitter site. If auto-matic transmitter steering is enabled, this module keeps the proper transmitter selected until the reply is complete and a new receiver site is voted. In manual-ly controlled applications, the dis-patcher decides which transmit-ter site to use for reply by issuing a Transmit Select signal to the proper Site Voter Module. The Voter can also group multiple voted receivers around separate remote transmitters.
Tone Keying operation and Repeat Mode (Voted Site Talkthrough) are also provided within the Transmit Steering function.Modular Packaging The SNV-12 is packaged in a 19" wide EIA standard rack-mounted Eurocard cage equipped with a backplane board. A Power Supply Module, Console Interface Module, CPU Module, and two to twelve Site Voter Modules are plugged into the card cage back-plane. Remote receiver signals are connected to the Site Voter Modules via barrier terminal strips on the backplane board for ease of hook-up. Each plug-in module has a front panel handle for removal and insertion.

i4-E IREMOTE-LOOP i ADACDPOUC ETRS&-ETFCTO Loopback Select Transition Networks products are equipped with Loopback.
This feature puts a converter in a special mode that enables the device to loop back the signal from the RX port to the TX port on either media for testing and troubleshooting purposes.
Test signals from a tester (Firebird, etc.) can then be inserted into the link and looped back as received by a device to test a particular segment of the link (i.e. copper or fiber).Loopback can be either local or remote depending on the location of the converter in the link.I Allows network diagnostics from local or remote location P Quickly pinpoints problem areas of end to end link by testing a particular segment r,,t. CA,,WW-- up If someone tolls you <media conversion is a commodity product that anyone can bring to market, they prob~ably haven't looked at the extensive product suite offered by Transition N~etworks.
With the ndustrys most comprehensive offering of full-featured products, Transition's media converters stand out as 'the choice' among industry IT professionals.
Generally, media converters ar.e tow-level OSI model devices wihn Por MtAC addresses and therefore re transparent to them very iepnveand easy touse, but very ifficutt.
Inan effort to overcome this difficulty and to make media converters
'~visible' to network managers, Transition haes designed their full-featured products to include the most advanced features on the market today.xWENOWN "-?, Fm Some converters have separate copper and fiber loopback functions that can be enabled separately, while others will loopback both copper and fiber at the same time when enabled. Please refer to the specific product page for details.l Remote Management All chassis-based converters from Transition Networks can be managed through SNMP. Now, select stand-alone products can also be managed through SNMP when used in conjunction with a chassis based converter.
While chassis based products are generally placed in the telecommunications room, stand-alone converters are generally placed in remote locations away from network administrators.
Remote in-band management over fiber allows administrators access to the remote device to check status and enable/disable features or the device itself.Visibility of remote converters for network administrators Allows for centralized management of media converters
' Single Fiber Single fiber technology offers a 50%savings in fiber utilization.
It is an attractive solution to maximize the usage of a limited number of fiber runs.In a traditional optical link, a fiber pair consists of two uni-directional strands.The single fiber technology multiplexes two optical wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm into a single strand fiber. In a single fiber media converter each wavelength is responsible for either the transmit or receive function.Consequently, the bi-directional transmission is achieved by using a single strand. The converters in a single fiber scenario "match" each other's wavelengths.
Converter A transmits at the wavelength of 1310nm and receives at 1550nm while the other converter transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm. Therefore, converters are usually used in pairs.Single Fiber TX(ll3%m)

Bandpass cavities reject all fre-quencies outside a narrow pass band. These cavities reduce trans-mitter sideband noise, and also protect receivers against desensitization.
TWPC-2208 cavities cover 200-300 MHz. All cavities are tuned to specified frequencies prior to shipping, and no further adjust-ments should be required.
The positive locking mechanism allows for quick field retuning if frequen-cy changes become necessary.
from 0.5 dB to 2 dB or more to improve selectivity.
This allows cavity response to be optimized for any operating environment.
At densely populated sites, the 2208-2 cavity filters provide greater se-lectivity with minimum insertion loss. Multiple cavities can also provide a wider passband when required.
Mounting rails are pro-vided for all multiple-cavity filters.Excellent frequency stability is achieved by the use of a special-ly machined compensator and Invar rod. The pass frequency is temperature stable from -30'C to +70'C. Telewave Ground Loop technology places the center con-ductor of each coupling loop at DC ground potential for lightning protection and noise reduction.
Heavy duty materials are used throughout each cavity to insure high performance and long life.Cavity top plates are machined from 1/4-inch aluminum, and are heliarc welded to the cavity body at the high current point for im-proved conductivity and strength.This allows Telewave cavities to handle up to 350 watts, depend-ing on insertion loss.Rigid foam inserts support the tuner assembly allowing vertical or horizontal mounting.
Similar metals and alodined aluminum help prevent galvanic corrosion.
Silver plated tuners and beryllium copper finger stock provide non-corrosive low loss contact, and ensure reliable, long-term performance.
These cavities also feature cali-brated adjustable coupling, and insertion loss can be easily set TEL EWA VE, INC.660 Giguere Court, San Jose CA 1-800-331-3396

The UNI-Q is factory tuned to pass your specific receive frequency at the gain you choose. A channel that was once plagued by interference and rendered useless can be made useful again with the UNI-Q filter. With wireless technology becoming more widely used, the issue of receiver interference is getting worse. Giving up a channel isn't feasible, especially with today's demands to keep the lines of communication open. Typical applications include Police, Fire, EMS, SCADA, and commercial two-way radio systems.Electrical Specifications Parameter' Frequency Min. Typ. Max.

71, Putnam: 14, Orange: 22, and Rockland 48)e Evaluation of Results Siren 122 in Orange County had been placed in a maintenance mode. It was a siren that was in the process of being converted from solar-battery power to A/C -battery power and was unavailable for testing. It was recorded as a failure for the purposes of these tests.In one test on September 6, 2007, six failures were recorded in Rockland County. IPEC consulted with SAIC and determined that the most likely cause of this condition was sporadic radio interference due the close proximity and orientation of several antennas on the roof the Rockland County emergency services building in Pomona, NY. Entergy subsequently confirmed that the transmitter causing the interference had been retired and removed by the county. It was determined that there no longer was 200 MHz interference at this site.H-6 APPENDIX I SIMULCAST RADIO SYSTEM (SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM)I-1
