| Title | Loss of 11 Alert and Notification Sirens Due to Severe Ice Storm |
| Event Description | Due to a severe winter ice storm in the area surrounding Cooper Nuclear Station, 11 of 24 Alert and Notification System Sirens were discovered to be out of service as of 1019 hours0.0118 days <br />0.283 hours <br />0.00168 weeks <br />3.877295e-4 months <br /> on 12/11/07. This event impacts the ability to readily notify a portion of the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) Population for Cooper Nuclear Station. This event also meets NRC 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> reporting criterion 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii), major loss of the off-site emergency notification system.
Eight of the failed sirens are located in Atchison County, MO (Seven have failed directly due to loss of AC power and one has partially failed due to other aspects of the storm). One of the failed sirens is located in Richardson County, NE (due to direct loss of AC Power). The other two sirens are located in Nemaha County, NE (One has failed directly due to loss of AC power and one has partially failed due to other aspects of the storm). Atchison, Richardson, and Nemaha County Authorities have been notified and compensatory emergency route alerting has been discussed as an alternate means of public notification. NOAA/EAS Tone Alert Radios issued for notification of rural residents within the 10-mile emergency planning zone are available and the local NOAA radio transmitter is operable. Contact of the local power utilities has been initiated so that power restoration efforts can be monitored. The licensee also notified the NRC Resident Inspector, FEMA Region 7, Missouri State Emergency Management Agency, and the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.
As of 1702 on 12/12/07, the number of inoperable Alert and Notification System (ANS) sirens fell below 25% of the total number of sirens (24) which was the basis for reporting the major loss of the off-site emergency notification system. Currently there are 4 sirens still inoperable in Atchison County, MO. Power restoration activities by local power companies are still in progress in Atchison County. All ANS Sirens located in the Nebraska side of Cooper Nuclear Station 10-Mile EPZ have been returned to service. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector, and authorities in Atchison County and State of Missouri. Notified R4DO (Bywater) |
