| Title | Offsite Notification Due to Tritium Sample Exceeding Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (Odcm) Reporting Level |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the licensee via facsimile:
On 2/10/2005 with Watts Bar, Unit 1 operating at 100 percent Reactor Power, TVA plans to voluntarily notify the State of Tennessee's radiological and environmental health agencies and Department of Energy that a tritium sample obtained from a onsite monitoring well was confirmed to be above the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) reporting level for ground water samples. This result was for an ODCM required composite sample obtained over a month (12/29/04 through 1/25/05). On 2/8/2005, Chemistry confirmed this result and established a team to investigate the source of this contamination, the cause of the increased tritium levels, and the extent of where the tritium is found. Additional samples have been collected from selected monitoring wells, and the results of these tests are being analyzed. At this time, there is no indication of any offsite release, there is no threat to the public or company employees, and the situation does not pose a public health hazard. This notification is in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72, (b)(2)(xi), 'News Release or Notification of Other Government Agency'. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
