Description:
In September 2021, an NFS-authorized contractor was performing groundwater treatment activities at the NFS site using bioremediation technologies to mitigate tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The treatment involved the injection of Anaerobic BioChem Plus (ABC+) into ground water wells located on the North Site of the NFS property. On September 9, 2021, NFS personnel identified groundwater treatment chemicals surfacing in the storm water drainage system. The release was identified as a ground water treatment injection mixture, ABC+, which entered the storm water drainage system known as the west ditch that flows to Martin Creek. When NFS identified the release, all groundwater injections were stopped.
Water from the west ditch was pumped to an upland location on the North Site and allowed to soak into the ground to prevent the ABC+ mixture from further progressing to the west ditch and into Martin Creek. Spill pads and booms were also placed in the west ditch to capture any oily sheen present. Impacted algae, sediment, and rocks from the west ditch were manually removed as part of clean-up efforts. The licensee collected "grab samples" and did not identify gross radioactivity values in excess of regulatory limits. The licensee entered the event into the licensees PIRCS program (PIRCS 30604), conducted a general investigation, and developed a corrective action plan.
On September 9, 2021, NFS personnel verbally reported the issue to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), followed by a written report on September 14. On November 4, 2021, TDEC issued a notice of violation for the subject storm water drainage system discharge. On December 2, 2021, NFS provided a 30-day written notification of the violation (ADAMS ML21344A052) to the NRC as required by SNM-124 License Condition S-7. The NRC reviewed the written report and did not identify any violations of NRC requirements based on the determination that the unauthorized storm water discharge did not involve NRC-regulated material or radiological release exceeding NRC regulatory limits. This item is considered closed.
