Re: Coast Guard gets busy signal at PSEG
Hi Lenny,
At the NRC meeting last night, NRC Region 1 head "Stonewall" Sam Collins
said that
this petty officer was set up in a separate office to make phone calls to
the owners
of intake structures to warn them about the spill (like they didn't
already know), and was
not given access to the CG database, only a list of main numbers. His job
was only that, to
send an official warning. Had there been a 'real' emergency, other CG
folks with access
to all numbers would have taken over. (Sure)
At the same time, PS and the CG were talking about the spill, and yes, the
CG does
indeed have a list of contacts at PS.
While it is maiinly just a silly episode of the right hand not knowing
what the left hand
was doing, it does raise some warning flags.
Hopefully we won't have a terrorist attack on PS, or some other dire
emergency that would
put the system to the test.
