Title	Offsite Notification
Event Description	The following information was provided by the licensee via email: At 1312 CST on March 2, 2023, Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Units 1, 2, and 3 initiated voluntary communication to the state of Alabama and local officials as part of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI), after receiving analysis results for leakage from a demineralized water storage tank that contained activity above the GPI voluntary communication threshold. All these results are significantly less than the limits established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for effluents from the station. Further samples obtained of the water prior to entering the Tennessee River were less than detectable. The leakage source has been isolated and additional corrective actions are in progress. This condition did not exceed any NRC regulations or reporting criteria. This notification is being made solely as a four-hour, non-emergency notification for a notification of other government agency. This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi). There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
