Title | Offsite Notification Due to a Low Level Tritium Spill |
Event Description | This is a non-emergency notification.
During a routine plant inspection, plant personnel discovered a leak from a pipe on plant property on Tuesday, August 13, [2013]. An isolation valve, 3WN-38, leaked causing approximately 9,900 gallons of water containing low levels of tritium (5,780 picocuries per liter) to leak onto the surrounding soil. The valve was secured and the leak stopped. Based upon the leak location and low tritium levels, there is no health or safety risk to the public or to employees on the site. There is no impact to public health and safety due to this condition. Due to NPDES requirements at 0840 EDT on August 14, a report of this condition was made to the state of [North Carolina]. The State has evaluated the event and classified the event as a spill-non-sewage (no environmental impact). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
Additional voluntary notifications have been made to state agencies in accordance with the Groundwater Protection Initiative following the guidance of NEI 07-07. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Musser). |
