Title	Offsite Notification Due to Inadvertent Emergency Siren Actuation
Event Description	At approximately 0238 [EST], received first notification of an actuation of the Early Warning Siren System. This call came from Fairfield County 911 dispatcher after they received numerous calls from area residents. Subsequent calls were received from the State Warning Point, Lexington, Newberry and Richland County's 911 dispatcher as well as calls from the public. The Secondary Alarm Station informed the Control Room that when an attempt was made to silence one individual siren (N-86) that was in alarm, all the sirens were inadvertently actuated. Sirens appear to have alarmed for approximately three minutes and then shut off (per design). Subsequent investigation by the Emergency Preparedness group did not reveal any human error. The investigation into the siren actuation is ongoing. All sirens are operable at this time. SCANA Public Relations has been informed and will be preparing a press release, as will the SC Emergency Management Division. A local television station, WIS TV, will be interviewing SCANA Public Relations personnel at approximately 0630. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
