| Title | Emergency Sirens Out of Service Due to a Communication Problem |
| Event Description | At approximately 0730 [EDT] on 8/9/11 a siren system communication problem was discovered by Emergency Preparedness personnel at the Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP). Telecommunications was contacted to troubleshoot the problem and at approximately 0820 [EDT] the communications system was restored. A previously scheduled quarterly growl test was conducted with 83 sirens performing satisfactorily. Upon further investigation, it was determined that there were communication failures recorded during the 0600 [EDT] report.
20 of the 83 sirens were impacted by the communications errors. The previous 0000 [EDT] report indicated no communications errors. Investigation is continuing as to the ability of the sirens to be activated during the period the errors were received. It is likely that the ability to activate the sirens had been lost, therefore, this event is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to the loss of a significant portion of the offsite notification system. The cause of the communication errors are believed to be due to radiofrequency disturbances however the investigation is ongoing. In the event that the sirens had been needed, the State of North Carolina and all four counties within the 10-mile emergency planning zone would have implemented mobile route alerting, as detailed in the Emergency Plan. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
