Title | Offsite Notification Due to Elevated Tritium Levels in Ground Water Sample |
Event Description | [The licensee was] notified by Southern Nuclear Company (SNC) Chemistry that, while performing [the procedure for monitoring] the tritium activity results for ground water sample well number T3, elevated tritium levels were detected.
On May 5, 2009, [a] data report from Georgia Power Central (GPC) Lab containing tritium activity results for ground water sample well T3 was received and reviewed for input into [the] Chemistry database. [The] activity for well T3 was observed to be elevated (36,500 pCi/L). This concentration had increased from [the] last sample activity (5400 pCi/L) on March 16, 2009. Chemistry personnel were directed to resample for verification [of the elevated activity levels]. A sample was collected on May 6, 2009 and shipped to GPC Lab. Sample results for the verification sample were received May 11, 2009. These results were confirmed to be elevated (34,300 pCi/L) compared to previous levels. Chemistry Management has notified the resident NRC inspector as well as SNC environmental affairs. SNC Corporate is performing the necessary notifications to the Georgia State Environmental Protection Division (EPD). The licensee is developing a plan to ascertain the cause of this event. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
