Report Date: November 26, 1975 3.

Occurrence Date: November 19, 1975 4.

Facility:

Arkansas Nuclear One-Unit 1 Russellville, Arkansas i

5. - Identification of Occurrence:

Chemical concentration of three parameters increased across the plant in excess of Environmental Technical Specification limits.

6.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

X Neutralizing tank draining into discharge canal at time of sampling.

i 9.

Analysis of Occurrence:

The neutralizing tank which contains water impurities remaining after regenerating condensate demineralizers and plant makeup water demin-i 1

eralizers was being drained into the discharge fiume when samples were i

taken. No other liquid releases were in progress at time of sampling.

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