Title	Offsite Notification Due to Low Level Radioactive Spill
Event Description	The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and other State and Local officials were notified today, November 19, 2009, that there had been a spill of low level radioactive material at an excavation site at the facility. Workers were conducting planned modification activities, replacing a section of piping, when sediment fell from the pipe to the ground and localized water at the excavation site. Samples of the localized water in the excavation after the sediment had fallen in exceeded the limit of the site procedure for notifying State and Local officials for a groundwater spill. No elevated levels have been detected in the nearest plant monitoring well. Therefore, we have no indications that there has been a release beyond the site from this source. Cleanup activities are currently in progress. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The section of piping being replaced was between the plant storm drain system and the discharge canal. The radioactive material was identified as Cs-137 but was not quantified at the time of this report.
