Report Date: December 5, 1975 3.

Occurrence Date: November 25, 1975 4.

Facility:

Arkansas Nuclear One-Unit 1 Russellville, Arkansas 5.

Identification of Occurrence:

Chemical concentration of Sodium Nitrite, chlorides, ard ammonia in condenser circulating water increased across plant in (xcess of Environ-mental Technical Specification limits.

Description of Occurrence:

~2 Samples were taken from the intake and discharge canals and at point 20 on 11/24/75.

Lab analysis indicated the following parameters in excess of ETS limits:

Parameter Units Increase ETS Limit Sodium Nitrite (intake vs. discharge)'

mg/l 0.092 0.005

Neutralizing tank draining into discharge flume at tire of sampling.

9.

Analysis of Occurrence:

The neutralizing tank, which contains impurities remairing after regen-eration of the condensate demineralizers and plant makeup water demin-erali:ers, was being dumped into the discharge fiume when samples were taken. No other liquid releases were in progress at time of sampling.

Four circulating water pumps were in operation providing approximately 764,000 gpm dilution flow.
