On January 18, 2011, at about 0830 PST, a State Park Ranger notified SONGS (San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station) Security that a siren growl was heard in the San Clemente State Park. Security subsequently notified the Control Room. Site Emergency Planning initiated an investigation of the event and informed the City of San Clemente Emergency Planning at approximately 0945 PST of the park ranger's call. SONGS investigation by its siren technicians into the potential SONGS siren growl resulted in absolutely no indication of activation of any of SONGS emergency sirens. It should be noted that quarterly growl tests have been scheduled during working hours January 18-20, 2011, and this information is posted on the City of San Clemente web site. However the tests had not been initiated at the time of the ranger report. In compliance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi), requiring licensees to report any event that results in notification to other government agencies, SCE (Southern California Edison) is providing this notification to the NRC. At the time of the State Park Ranger notification, Unit 2 was at approximately 100 percent power and Unit 3 was shutdown for a Steam Generator Replacement Outage. SCE will notify the NRC Resident Inspectors about this occurrence and will provide them with a copy of this report.
