Title | Loss Of 21 Out Of 101 Emergency Sirens |
Event Description | Communications has been lost to 21 sirens out of 101. The loss of communications does not allow the activation of the sirens. Almost all of Harrison County and Pottawattamie County in Iowa are without communications to the sirens. There are compensatory measures in place to ensure notification by local law enforcement in case of an actual emergency to inform the public in these areas.
This is being reported per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii) for 'Any event that results in a major loss of emergency assessment capability, off site response capability, or communications capability'. An attempt is being made to reboot the siren's communication system in order to restore the sirens. During the reboot, sirens in Washington County, Nebraska, will also lose communications and therefore will not be functional. Local Law Enforcement has been notified in Washington County to perform compensatory measures in case of an emergency. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed.
As of 0518 CST, communications has been reestablished and all sirens were returned to service. The licensee notified the NRC Resident inspector. Notified R4DO (Deese).
Following an investigation of the siren failure, it was determined that all sirens were lost for a period of time from approximately 1809 CST February 23, 2012 until 0518 CST February 24, 2012. The control room was notified at 0215 CST February 24, 2012 and compensatory measures were established for all affected counties in Iowa and Nebraska. No new compensatory measures or actions are or were required. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Haire). |
