Title | Offsite Notification Due to Sump Discharge Line Leakage |
Event Description | This is a report of a situation, related to the protection of the environment, for which a notification to other government agencies is being made, as described in 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi).
On October 22, 2008, excavation within the Protected Area was ongoing to identify a leak in the Fire Protection System. At approximately 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br />, the Turbine and Water Treatment Building sump discharge line was identified as leaking. This three-inch carbon steel pipe routes the sump discharge to the settling basins, where it is eventually discharged via a monitored outfall to the environment. The cause of the leakage is unknown, but due to the condition of the piping, it is believed to have existed prior to the excavation activities. The amount of leakage is therefore conservatively assumed to be more than 100 gallons, but this cannot be quantified at this time. Analysis of a water sample from the sump discharge line leak determined that the water leaking from the pipe contains approximately 37,500 picocuries per liter (pCi/l) tritium. These tritium levels are consistent with tritium levels in the Condensate/Feedwater Systems in the Turbine Building. Actions are underway to remove the piping from service and re-route the sump pump discharge. Analysis of routine groundwater well samples taken earlier this month is being expedited, and additional well samples are being planned. The State of Ohio, Lucas County and Ottawa County government agencies were contacted regarding the above information at 0900 on October 23, 2008. The Resident Inspector has also been briefed on the issue. |
