| Title | Evacuation Siren Inoperable |
| Event Description | The following event description is based on information currently available. If through subsequent reviews of this event, additional information is identified that is pertinent to this event or alters the information being provided at this time, a follow-up notification will be made via the ENS or under the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.73.
On June 29, 2005 at approximately 08:55 Mountain Standard Time (MST), the Palo Verde Emergency Preparedness Program Manager was notified of an inoperable single siren #36. An alarm indicates that the inoperability started at 04:43 AM MST. The siren was vandalized by destroying the battery case and stealing the internal battery. The affected siren is estimated to impact approximately 215 members of population (10.1 %) in the emergency planning zone (EPZ) within 5 miles. Palo Verde's reporting criterion is a loss of capability to inform greater than 5% of the population within 5 miles (or 10% within 5 to 10 miles) for greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. This call is being placed due to the relatively large segment of the population affected and the uncertainty of the length of time that will be needed to restore the siren to operable condition. The Palo Verde Emergency Plan (section 6.6.2.1) has a contingency for dispatching Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) vehicles with loud speakers to alert persons within the affected area(s) when sirens are inoperable. The County was informed at 09:25 AM MST to implement the MCSO notification if a need arises. There are no events in progress that require siren operation. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of the siren failure and this ENS call. |
