| event text = On 12/06/2007 at 2042 [CST] C-337 unit 5 cell 5 was being charged and placed on stream and had just gone above atmospheric pressure. At 2044 hours two PGLD (process gas leak detection) heads in the C-337 unit 5 cell 5 actuated and would not clear indicating a potential UF6 release. To stop the release the cell was immediately taken back below atmospheric pressure. Investigation revealed that a UF6 release had occurred causing the PGLD actuation. The amount of material released has not yet been determined. | | event text = On 12/06/2007 at 2042 [CST] C-337 unit 5 cell 5 was being charged and placed on stream and had just gone above atmospheric pressure.

The PGLD heads are Q safety system components. At the time of the incident the cell was operating in a mode which required the system to be operational. This is being reported based on SAR 6.9 Table 1, J2 (unplanned actuation of a Q safety system) and 10 CFR 76.120 (c) (1) (i) (unplanned contamination event). | The PGLD heads are Q safety system components.
