Title	Emergency Sirens Failed To Activate
Event Description	On December 9, 2009, at approximately 1101 EST, as a result of a scheduled full-volume test of the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Alert Notification System (ANS), using microwave/radio activation pathway only, 37 of 172 sirens did not pass the test. The siren system was then configured to the normal configured (TCP/IP and microwave/radio activation pathways) and the siren system retested successfully following a silent test at approximately 1147 EST. The system is capable of being used to notify the public in an emergency. Prior to the full volume test today, a previous silent test using the radio/microwave pathway was successful. As a result of the 37 sirens that did not pass the test today, a press notice was provided. This courtesy notification is being provided under 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi). The condition was recorded in the IPEC corrective action program. The event remains under investigation. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and FEMA. Additionally Westchester, Orange, Putnam, and Rockland counties were notified.
