| Title | Loss of Offsite Communications - Sirens in Emergency Planning Zone |
| Event Description | On March 8, 2006, at approximately 1030 hours0.0119 days <br />0.286 hours <br />0.0017 weeks <br />3.91915e-4 months <br />, a full alert siren test was initiated for the sirens in the Indian Point emergency planning zone. Of the 156 sirens, the system initially reported that the activation was underway at 138 sirens. Eighteen of the fifty one sirens in Rockland County (one of the four counties in the 10 mile emergency planning zone) indicated communications failures. One of these, siren R-17, was out of service prior to the test. A final activation report was not available from the system. However, the initial system report was accepted as a basis for the ENS notification since twenty five percent of the sirens had observers who confirmed the initial report results for the sirens they observed.
During the test the siren system computer locked up. None of the 156 sirens could be activated with the computer in this condition. These conditions represent a degraded emergency siren notification system which is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). Both Units 2 and 3 were at 100 percent power and remain at 100 percent power. The siren system was returned to service at approximately 1510 hours0.0175 days <br />0.419 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.74555e-4 months <br /> on March 8, 2006, with the exception of siren R-17 which remains out of service. All four counties conducted a silent test to confirm functionality. The program application that malfunctioned has been identified and is now functioning properly. The cause of the malfunction is still under investigation. The counties and State were notified of the loss of sirens. In the event of an emergency, route alerting and outbound calling would have been available to compensate for the siren system loss. Condition report IP2-CR2006-01138 was written for this event. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and other Government agencies. |
