Title	Inadvertent Siren Actuation
Event Description	Point Beach was notified via our EP [emergency plan] manager that emergency plan siren K 5 actuated inadvertently at 2100 [CDT] on 8/21/13, during severe weather. Initial notification of this occurrence was made by Kewaunee County Emergency Management to the Kewaunee Nuclear Plant EP manager. The Kewaunee EP manager in turn notified the Point Beach EP manager. The siren stopped sounding at 2125 on 8/21/13, and was removed from service to prevent additional inadvertent actuations before it is repaired. The loss of coverage for siren K-5, which is the only Point Beach siren out of service at this time, is 1.9%, which is below the 50% loss of coverage requiring additional notifications. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
