EDO Daily Notes for December 12, 2005 Region III (Braidwood update) As of December 9, Exelon has reported measurable levels of tritium in offsite groundwater monitoring wells that were installed over the last two weeks and in one residential drinking-water well. The residential well is located approximately 1/2 -mile north of the contaminated onsite areas, and the licensee measured approximately 1,150 picocuries per liter of tritium in the well, which is a fraction of the EPA drinking water standard of 20,000 picocuries per liter. Other nearby residential wells have not shown any tritium above normal background. However, the licensee detected elevated levels of tritium (as high as approximately 33,700 picocuries per liter) in monitoring wells in a vacant development immediately offsite. Region III is performing independent measurements of the well samples and has also obtained independent samples from certain residential wells.
On December 12, the licensee plans to hold a meeting with the nearby residents for at its Training Building. State representatives of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Public Health plan to attend. Two Region III staff plan to attend the meeting. No media or other members of the public have been invited.
