Dear Mr. Adamkus:
I The following information is being provided per 40 CFR 112.4 as a result of two oil release events reported to the National
Response
Center within a twelve month period (Report Numbers 2727
& 4941.)
The information is presented in the order required by 40 CFR 112.4.
1)
Name of facility:
Indiana Michigan Power Company (1&M)
Donald C.

Mr. Valdas A
kus April 21, 1989 Page Two The cause of the February 24, 1989 loss of lube oil (estimated to be 1156 gallons) was a
tube failure in the Unit 2
Main Turbine Lube Oil Tank southeast cooler.
The report on the eddy current testing conducted on the cooler concluded that the hole was most likely caused by a
manufacturing
- defect, rather than tube degradation.
Eddy current is nondestructive testing that uses high frequency sound waves to measure geometric and physical properties in materials.
On April 5,
- 1989, a leak was detected in the northeast cooler on Unit Two Main Turbine Lube Oil Tank which resulted in less than 100 gallons of lube oil being discharged'o Lake Michigan. It was originally reported that 635 gallons were unaccounted
- for, however 535 gallons were recovered from an internal system.
Eddy current testing has been scheduled to determine the cause of tube failure.
9)
The corrective actions and/or countermeasures taken including an adequate description of equipment repairs and/or replacements:
The leaking tube was mechanically isolated by a
plug within the Southeast cooler bundle prior to returning the cooler back into service.
As mentioned
- above, eddy current testing was performed to determine the cause of tube failure.
The Northeast cooler awaiting eddy current from the two reported visible on the shore or train is presently isolated testing.
No oil was recovered
- events, nor was any oil ever ne'arshore waters.
10)
Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence:
A testing program is in place to identify the integrity of'll coolers served by the non-essential service water system (lake water).
The testing program will provide a
base line for evaluating the integrity of all the coolers within the non-essential service water system from which a
preventive maintenance program can be developed.
Other measures being taken include the evaluation of installed oil level instrumentation, and training plant operators in the timely detection of and response to indicated losses of oil.
Mr. Valdas Adamkus April 21, 1989 Page Three Surveillance sampling points are currently being reviewed to allow earlier detection of oil within all the circulating water systems at the Cook Nuclear Plant.
If there are any questions concerning the information in this
- report, please contact David A.
- Shipe, Environmental Engineer at (219) 425-2123.
Very truly yours, Donald L, Baker Environmental Affairs Director cmk
