ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSEE EVENT REPORT 77-160E/04X-0 1.

Facility:

Crystal River Unit #3 2.

Report Date:

18 January 1978 3.

Occurrence Date:

21-22 December 1977 (determined at plant 17 January 1978) 1 j

4.

Identification of Occurrence:

Biomass of fish and shellfish impinged on the intake screens of Units 1, 2, and 3 exceeded the 50 kg/24 hour reporting level of Section 3.1.3 of Environ-mental Technical Specifications.

5.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Unit #1 - All water circulation pumps operational.

Unit #2 - All water circulation pumps non-operational (unit down).

I

.]

Unit #3 - All water circulation pumps operational.

6.

Description of Occurrence:

During the period 0900 21 December 1977 to 0900 22 December 1977 95.24 kg of fish and shellfish were impinged on the intake screens of Crystal River Units i

1, 2, and 3.

Of the 95.24 kg impinged, Unit 3 accounted for 74.04 kg (78% of total).

One commercially unimportant species, the batfish, accounted for 57.99 kg (61% of total).

Two commercially utilized species, the pink shrimp and the blue crab, accounted for 25.31 kg (27% of total).

Impingement of all other commercially utilized species was less than 1 kg during the period in question.

The remaining biomass impinged was distributed among several species of fish and shellfish.

7.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

The following unusual or periodic event was noted prior to, or during, the occurrence:

One oil barge entered the intake canal during sampling.

This event may have been partially responsible for the impingement cbserved.
