BROWNS FERRY SPURIOUS ACTUATION OF OFFSITE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SIRENS
"At 0852 on 06/29/02, the Operations Duty Specialist (ODS) notified the Browns Ferry Shift Manager of a spurious actuation of the Off Site Emergency Notification Sirens for a duration of less than 3 minutes in Lawrence County, Alabama. A TVA news release is not planned at this time, however, the event is being reported due to inquires from county representatives to the TVA ODS regarding the siren activation. A review of the cause of the actuation is in progress.
"This event is reportable per 10CFR50.72 (b)(2)(xi) as 'Any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or onsite personnel, or protection of the environment for which a news release is planned or notification to other government agencies has been or will be made. Such an event may include an onsite fatality or inadvertent release of radioactive contaminated material'."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
