INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF ONE EMERGENCY SIREN
"At 0300 on 4/21/09, Emergency Siren K-008, which had a population coverage of 1%, inadvertently actuated and required Emergency Planning Personnel to deactivate [it]. Currently Siren K-008 is non-functional and required population coverage of KPS [Kewaunee Power Station] emergency sirens is acceptable. Due to Siren Activation, local offsite agencies have been notified of the failure as follows:
"Kewaunee Sheriff Department and Kewaunee EOC are aware of the local activation and disconnect so compensatory measures can be initiated if required.
"Point Beach has been notified.
"Manitowoc EOC has been notified."
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
