ATTACHMENT 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 1.0 SYSTEM COMPONENTS Sirens

~ Tone Alert Radios

~ Emergency Broadcast System 2.0 SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Sirens a ~ There are 37 sirens within the 10 mine EPZ. Their purpose is to notify the public of an incident at NHPNS or JAFNPP within 15 minutes. Upon hearing the siren, the public should tune to an EBS station for information.

b. They are primarily located within a 5 mile radius of the site, along the lakeshore, and in heavily populated areas.

C. Siren locations are contained in Figure 1. 1. Circuit identification for sirens are contained in Figure 1.2.

d. Sirens are tested as follows:

~ Bi-weekly siren test (Attachment 2)

~ quarterly full-cycle test (Attachment 3)

~ Annual full-cycle test (Attachment 4)

e. Sirens are serviced annually in accordance with Attachment 5, and as-needed to maintain operability.

Activation of the sirens is via the Motorola Intrac System. This consists of a receiver at each siren, and a control/sending unit at the County EOC and County Warning Point. Each control/sending unit utilizes a redundant VHF transmitter. Additionally, a receiver at each facility indicates the successful transmission of a siren "all-call". The capability exists to activate sirens individually, or all at once.

g. Monitoring of system status i s accompl i shed vi a the Remote Siren Interrogation Monitoring Subsystem (RSIHS). The RSIMS gives near real-time status of each siren, and provides for the verification of actual siren activation for incidents and testing. The system consists of a receiver/transmitter at each siren and at the County EOC and Warning Point, and a computer/visual display at the County EOC and Warning Point.

November 1994 Page 8 EPHP-EPP-08 Rev 02

ATTACHNENT 1 (Cont)

g. (Cont)

The system monitors electrical power, system tempering, audible and (where necessary) rotation. The activation capability of RSIHS has been retired in place.

h. The siren system meets the design criteria required in FENA-REP-10.

2.2 Tone Alert Radios

a. Tone alert radios are distributed to people in the 10 mile EPZ who are outside the acoustical range of sirens, and to schools and industrial facilities as needed.

b. The tone alerts receive transmission from the National Weather Service (NWS) on 162.55 8Hz. They remain muted until the receipt of a tone transmitted by the NWS, for either testing or alert. The radios have a battery back-up.

c. The transmitter is located on Onondaga Hill, near Syracuse. the site is equipped with emergency power. A dedicated telephone link connects the transmitter to the broadcast console in the NWS office.

d. The system purpose is identical to that of the sirens.

e. Oswego County monitors new eligible residents via activity described in 3.1.d. New tone alerts are distributed as neeced. Replacement batteries are distributed via activity described in 3.5.f.

2.3 Emer enc Broadcast S stem

a. This system is comprised of a Common Program Control Station (CPCS-1), EBS secondary stations and EBS encoders/decoders.

b. The CPCS-1 is notified by Oswego County, and provided with a message for dissemination to the public. The CPCS-1 then sends an alert signal (encodes) to all EBS secondary stations, which are brought to readiness, receive and re-broadcast the message.

c. Detailed EBS testing and operations procedures are maintained by Oswego County and New York State.

FIGURE 1 DIO COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCO

1. To contact another unit first give the unit number of the radio you are calling from and then identify the unit(s) being called.

Ex: Unit HT-325 calling HT-518 or EOF calling "Downwind B"

2. The above calling protocol should always be used for the following reasons:

a. Niagara Mohawk Meter and Test Department personnel monitor radio transmissions at times to detect problems and/or to troubleshoot problems. By identifying the units during transmissions, individual units can be contacted to assist in corrective measures actions.

b. Since radio transmissions can be monitored by persons other than NMPC personnel, it is prudent not to use individuals names.

3. All transmitter operators are required to identify themselves by stating the unit number at the beginning or end of each transmission or exchange of transmission at least every ten minutes.

4. All radio transmission should be short and concise - using easily understood words and normal radio telephone procedures.

5. During a drill, announce "This is a drill""at the beginning and end of each communication.

6. Base-to-base radio communications on NMPC Low Band System (VHF) are permitted only during emergencies or radio checks. Telephone or other means should be used for a primary communication.
