IPEC status report for Jan. 5 Indian Point Energy Center John White -IPEC status report for Jan. 5___ -____Page 2 1 Daily Status Report January 5, 2006 Operational Status Indian Point Unit 2 is operating at 100% and has been online 14 days.Indian Point Unit 3 is operating at 100% reactor power and has been on-line for 93 days.NRC Issues Draft Order on Sirens The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission today has confirmed in a letter to Entergy Nuclear Northeast the company's plans to enhance the Indian Point Energy Center's alert notification system. As detailed in a public meeting held near Indian Point last November, Entergy has committed to an aggressive schedule to comply with federal legislation passed in 2005 requiring installation of a back-up power capability for its emerge icy sirens.The sirens are used to alert the public within 10 miles of Indian Point to turn on their radios or televisions for information about an emergency at Indian Point. Back-up power for sirens at nuclear power plants was not required before a provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 required them for Indian Point. There are 156 sirens in the 1 0-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ).Entergy met last year with emergency planning officials from the NRC, FEMA, N. Y. State, and the four counties in the EPZ (Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester), to seek their input on its plans to replace the current sirens. Using the latest in available technology, Entergy will eliminate many of the operational challenges faced by the old system. New features include: battery back-up power supplies to avoid siren failure due to electricity grid disruptions; an all-electronic siren -eliminating mechanical palls that may fail (or provide false reports of failures) under extreme weather or other environmental conditions; and simultaneous 360-degree sound delivery -eliminating fluctuating sound quality heard from mechanical sirens that rotate.A copy the NRC announcement can be the NRC web site at www.nrc.gov
