| Title | Emergency Sirens Inoperable |
| Event Description | At 1314 EDT on 10/28/04, all 34 of the Mecklenburg County ANS sirens failed a scheduled weekly test. The silent test checks only the radio circuitry involved in actuating the sirens. This test failure was attributed to a phenomena known as 'Tropospheric Ducting,' which is essentially radio frequency interference on the frequencies utilized for siren control. At 1448 EDT on 10/28/04, the radio frequency interference had cleared and the siren test was repeated with 100% success rate. The remaining 33 sirens in the other four EPZ counties were tested satisfactorily in the same time frame.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
