PRESS RELEASE REGARDING PLANT SHUTDOWN TO REPAIR SECONDARY STEAM PRESSURE INSTRUMENT LINE
"At 1555 hours on 12/03/04, Indian Point Unit 2 commenced a plant shutdown at 200 MW/Hour. Plant shutdown will be completed within 5 to 6 hours. This shutdown is due to a crack on an unisolable secondary steam pressure instrument line on the H.P. [high pressure] turbine (PT-412B). The reactor is expected to remain critical at approximately 4% power on auxiliary feedwater. The plant is expected to be restarted within 24 hours following repair to the (3/4 inch) instrument line."
The licensee noted that the crack was visually observed during rounds but was not yet blowing steam.
The licensee plans to issue a press release. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

EARLY WARNING SIREN SYSTEM FAILURE
"Actual failure was 100% (106 sirens) due to loss of power to station on-site/off-site radio repeaters. Failure occurred at 22:30 12-03-04. System was restored on temporary power at 23:06 12-03-04. State and local counties notified of failure at 23:26 12-03-04. System returned to normal power a 01:00 12-04-04. Station resident inspectors notified (J. Zeiler and M. King). System verified communications at 92% availability"
