ATTACHMENT 3 Sheet 1 of 2 ADVERSE CONDITION INVESTIGATION FORM Form CAP-NGGC-0200-3-18 Action Request Number: 236389 Investigator: Mike Millinor

1. Adverse Condition Description Tritium has been identified in manhole 2-MH-2SE. The tritium activity was 1.949E-5 pCi/mI (19,490 pCi/L). The approximate location of the manhole is in the vicinity of the stack and the intake structure.

2. Investigation Summary

" What Should Be: This is the first time this manhole was analyzed for tritium. Even though there have been several manholes identified with tritium at the plant, it is not the norm for tritium to be found in manholes.

" What Is: Discussions with the engineer who performed the inspection in the manhole indicate that the tritiated water found in the manhole was groundwater.

Tritium is not normally expected to be found in manholes even though there have been several manholes identified with tritium. However, the site hydrology as it is currently understood indicates that groundwater inside the backfill area at the site moves toward the intake canal.

• How it happened: It appears to be historical and it is unknown at this time as to how the tritium entered the groundwater in this area.

• Why it happened: It appears to be historical and it is unknown at this time why tritium entered the groundwater. The immediate area hydrology will have to be verified to determine if this is a current component leak or historical movement of existing groundwater containing tritium is moving towards the area.

Discussions held by the hydrology experts on 11/17/08 indicate, based on the hydrology work performed in the protected area, that there are no long term impacts to the area from the tritium in this manhole. The groundwater in the area is moving towards the intake canal as expected and no additional actions are necessary.

The tritium in this manhole was discussed with the hydrology experts. Several wells have been installed in this area (area 11) and are not indicating tritium. The tritium in this manhole appears to be coming from an up gradient manhole where there are significant concentrations of tritium. The tritium in this case is being transported by interconnected conduits to this manhole. Per the hydrologists there are no other actions necessary related to the tritium in this manhole.

Communications Plan January 2010 (The below Talking Points, Timeline and Questions andAnswers are for internal use only by those Progress Energy employees directly involved with the Groundwater Protection Initiative (GWPI). These documents should not be released to non-Progress Energy employees.)

Summary I

An operator doing a routine inspection discovered a leak in a pipe on plant property Sunday, January 10, 2010. The pipe carries secondary plant and water treatment building waste water for chemical processing. Approximately 1,000 gallons of water containing a low level of tritium (5,590 picocuries per liter) leaked into the surrounding soil. The pipe was shut off, and crews expect to complete repairs by week's end. Based on the leak location and low tritium levels, there is no health or safety risk to the public or to employees on-site.

Exemptions

Internal Use Only Talking Points In accordance with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) GWPI all personnel briefing state and local officials should provide the information contained in Section 1. (NEI, of which Progress Energy is a member, is the policy organization of the nuclear energy and technologies industry and participates in both the national and global policy-making process.)

Section 2 provides additional information that may be helpful during briefings.

Section 1

• This informal communication is being made as part of the NEI Groundwater Protection Initiative.

• Crews are repairing a pipe on plant property that leaked tritiated water. Once repaired, the system will be tested and returned to service.

• At 8:30 a.m. January 10, 2010, an operator on regular rounds discovered the underground Waste Neutralization Basin Flash Mixer Return Pipe had developed a leak.

The eight-inch fiberglass pipe carries secondary plant and water treatment building waste water for chemical processing.

• Approximately 1,000 gallons of water containing a low level of tritium (5,590 picocuries per liter) leaked into the surrounding soil. The EPA Drinking Water Standard is 20,000 picocuries per liter.

• Once the leak was discovered, the system was secured and the leak was isolated. The spill has been contained within the plant backfill and is unlikely to migrate off-site or reach the water table.

• The affected area is located approximately 15 feet west of the Water Treatment Building, within the plant's site boundary, approximately 1.7 miles inside Progress Energy property, and involves roughly 100 cubic feet of soil.

Immediate remedial actions involving the affected area includes: pumping the water from the saturated ground back into the waste neutralization basin, removal of the tritiated soil, and sampling of soil in the area for tritium analysis.

Since the water is contained onsite, there is no dose impact to a member of the public.

Internal Use Only Section 2 (General talking points) 0 Tritium is a radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen. Tritium is produced naturally and is also a byproduct of the nuclear process. It is commonly found in water and is produced commercially for items such as exit signs, aircraft dials and wristwatches.

• The Harris Nuclear Plant, like all nuclear plants, periodically makes controlled releases of tritium as allowed by our operating license. These levels are well below release limits set by federal regulations.

a The Harris Nuclear Plant, and all Progress Energy nuclear plants, monitor radiation levels. The Harris plant provides the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with an annual report of plant discharges and the results of environmental monitoring.
