Title	Drill Message Inadvertently Mistaken for Actual Event
Event Description	As part of a planned NRC Emergency Plan Exercise on 04/11/2012, local radio and television stations were given access to drill exercise messages to facilitate public awareness of the drill. These messages were plainly marked as 'drill' activity. At 12:40 p.m. CST, an email was sent to Entergy Executive Management showing the contents of a web page that stated in part 'A site area emergency was declared Wednesday at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, today at 10:18 a.m. by Entergy Operations Inc. officials...' A Little Rock, Arkansas local television station had posted a story on their internet web page at 10:53 a.m., indicating a real event, not a drill activity. The television station News Director stated that once the error was identified, the story was removed from their web page within a matter of minutes. This unplanned media event is being reported in accordance with 10CFR 50.72.(b)(2)(xi). The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed.
