ATTACHMENT 1SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1.0 SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Sirens

~ Tone Alert Radios~ Emergency Broadcast System

2.0 SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Sirens

a ~ There are 37 sirens within the 10 mine EPZ. Their purpose is tonotify the public of an incident at NHPNS or JAFNPP within 15minutes. Upon hearing the siren, the public should tune to an EBSstation for information.

b.

C.

d.

They are primarily located within a 5 mile radius of the site, alongthe lakeshore, and in heavily populated areas.

Siren locations are contained in Figure 1. 1. Circuit identificationfor sirens are contained in Figure 1.2.

Sirens are tested as follows:

e.

~ Bi-weekly siren test (Attachment 2)~ quarterly full-cycle test (Attachment 3)~ Annual full-cycle test (Attachment 4)Sirens are serviced annually in accordance with Attachment 5, andas-needed to maintain operability.

Activation of the sirens is via the Motorola Intrac System. Thisconsists of a receiver at each siren, and a control/sending unit atthe County EOC and County Warning Point. Each control/sending unitutilizes a redundant VHF transmitter. Additionally, a receiver ateach facility indicates the successful transmission of a siren "all-call". The capability exists to activate sirens individually, orall at once.

g. Monitoring of system status i s accompl i shed vi a the Remote SirenInterrogation Monitoring Subsystem (RSIHS). The RSIMS gives nearreal-time status of each siren, and provides for the verification ofactual siren activation for incidents and testing. The systemconsists of a receiver/transmitter at each siren and at the CountyEOC and Warning Point, and a computer/visual display at the CountyEOC and Warning Point.


g. (Cont)

ATTACHNENT 1 (Cont)

The system monitors electrical power, system tempering, audible and(where necessary) rotation. The activation capability of RSIHS hasbeen retired in place.

h. The siren system meets the design criteria required in FENA-REP-10.

2.2 Tone Alert Radios

a. Tone alert radios are distributed to people in the 10 mile EPZ whoare outside the acoustical range of sirens, and to schools andindustrial facilities as needed.

b. The tone alerts receive transmission from the National WeatherService (NWS) on 162.55 8Hz. They remain muted until the receipt ofa tone transmitted by the NWS, for either testing or alert. Theradios have a battery back-up.

c. The transmitter is located on Onondaga Hill, near Syracuse. thesite is equipped with emergency power. A dedicated telephone linkconnects the transmitter to the broadcast console in the NWS office.

d. The system purpose is identical to that of the sirens.

e. Oswego County monitors new eligible residents via activity describedin 3.1.d. New tone alerts are distributed as neeced. Replacementbatteries are distributed via activity described in 3.5.f.

2.3 Emer enc Broadcast S stem

a. This system is comprised of a Common Program Control Station (CPCS-1), EBS secondary stations and EBS encoders/decoders.

b. The CPCS-1 is notified by Oswego County, and provided with a messagefor dissemination to the public. The CPCS-1 then sends an alertsignal (encodes) to all EBS secondary stations, which are brought toreadiness, receive and re-broadcast the message.

c. Detailed EBS testing and operations procedures are maintained byOswego County and New York State.

FIGURE 1DIO COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCO

1. To contact another unit first give the unit number of the radio you arecalling from and then identify the unit(s) being called.

Ex: Unit HT-325 calling HT-518 or EOF calling "Downwind B"

2. The above calling protocol should always be used for the followingreasons:

a. Niagara Mohawk Meter and Test Department personnel monitor radiotransmissions at times to detect problems and/or to troubleshootproblems. By identifying the units during transmissions, individualunits can be contacted to assist in corrective measures actions.

b. Since radio transmissions can be monitored by persons other than NMPCpersonnel, it is prudent not to use individuals names.

3. All transmitter operators are required to identify themselves by statingthe unit number at the beginning or end of each transmission or exchangeof transmission at least every ten minutes.

4. All radio transmission should be short and concise - using easilyunderstood words and normal radio telephone procedures.

5. During a drill, announce "This is a drill""at the beginning and end ofeach communication.

6. Base-to-base radio communications on NMPC Low Band System (VHF) arepermitted only during emergencies or radio checks. Telephone or othermeans should be used for a primary communication.

SSENT L EMERGENCY COMMUNICAT ON FUNCT ONS

Emergency Notification System (ENS): Initial notification by thelicensee, as well as ongoing information on plant systems, status, andparameters.

Health Physics Network (HPN): Communication with the licensee onradiological conditions (in-plant and off-site) and meteorologicalconditions, as well as their assessment of trends and need for protectivemeasures on-site and off-site.

Reactor Safety Counterpart Link (RSCL): Established initially with thebase team, and then with the NRC site team representatives once theyarrive at the site, to conduct internal NRC discussions on plant andequipment conditions separate from the licensee, and without interferingwith the exchange of information between the licensee and NRC. This isthe channel by which the NRC Operations Center supports NRC reactor safetypersonnel at the site. In addition, this link may also be used fordiscussion between the Reactor Safety Team Director and licensee plantmanagement at the site.

Protective Measures Counterpart Link (PHCL): Established initially withthe base team, and then with the NRC site team representatives once theyarrive at the site, to conduct internal NRC discussions on radiologicalreleases and meteorological conditions, and the need for protectiveactions separate from the licensee and without interfering with theexchange of information between the licensee and NRC. This is the channelby which the NRC Operations Center supports NRC protective measurespersonnel at the site. In addition, this link may also be used fordiscussion between the Protective Measures Team Director and licenseeplant management at the site.

Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) Channel: This is the channel overwhich the raw reactor parametric data is transmitted from the site.Includes separate lines for both Unit I and Unit 2.

Hanagement Counterpart Link (HCL): Established for an internaldiscussions between the Executive Team Director or Executive Team membersand the NRC Director of Site Operations or top level licensee managementat the site.

7. Local Area Network (LAN) Access: Established with the base team and theNRC site team for access to any of the products or services provided onthe NRC Operations Center's local area network. This includes technicalpro)ections, press releases, status reports, E-Hail, and variouscomputerized analytical tools.
