LOSS OF RESPONSE CAPABILITY - EMERGENCY OFFSITE FACILITY

"On 12/24/04 at 9:27 CST the Callaway Plant declared the Emergency Offsite Facility (EOF) Inoperable due to the ventilation system not operating in the Filtration Mode. This was discovered during normal watchstation rounds and followup evaluation of the capabilities of the ventilation system. The HVAC system was initially discovered to not be operating, subsequent evaluation indicated that the HVAC system would not operate with the unit in the Filtration Mode.

"The Backup Emergency Offsite Facility (EOF) is still available to support the Emergency Plan."

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
