Analytical results belowthe respective analytical detection limit (ND or non-detect) are plotted as a "zero" value in accordance withELAP guidance. | |||
Results between the analytical detection limit and reporting (quantitation) limits are plotted atthe value and shown as 'DNQ' in the tabular summaries as is done for CIWQS reports. | |||
Less-than results aretypically reported to express an average of values that include non-detects and at least one positive result.These less-than results are plotted conservatively at the value. During 2013, discharges occurred from alldischarge paths except 00 11, 001K, 016, and 017.California Ocean Plan Table B substances that were not analyzed for have not been added to the discharge stream. The substances listed in Table B in the California Ocean Plan were each analyzed for and reported inthe permit renewal application and application updates for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) submitted inOctober 1994, January 2001, and April 2011. There have been no changes in activities conducted at the plantthat would have significantly affected the results previously reported in the above referenced documents. | |||

Circulating Water Chlorination/Bromination Monitoring The 2013 quarterly NPDES reports discuss chlorination cycles when discharge monitoring wasinterrupted. | |||
These events are listed below, with brief descriptions of the cause and respective corrective action. When these monitoring interruptions | |||
: occurred, engineering evaluations wereperformed (as approved by the CCRWQCB January 13, 1994; PG&E Letter No. DCL-94-002). | |||
Detailed descriptions of these evaluations are included in the respective quarterly reports. | |||
Theevaluations concluded that discharge chlorine limits were not exceeded during these events.Chlorination CycleDate Monitoring Cause Corrective ActionI Interruptions 1 105/02/13 to Unit 2 Sample tubing fouled with Sample tubing cleaned.05/09/13 43 Readings biological growth.

: b. Closed Cooling Water ReleasesDuring 2013, maintenance activities that required draining of closed cooling water systems wereperformed, and are summarized below. PG&E received concurrence from the CCRWQCB inresponse to letters dated July 19, 1995 (PG&E Letter DCL-95-156), | |||
May 23, 1996 (PG&E Letter DCL-96-522), | |||
and May 19, 1997 (PG&E Letter DCL-97-533) regarding the use of glutaraldehyde andisothiazolin to control microbiological growth and corrosion in DCPP's freshwater closed cooling watersystems. | |||
Any drainage from these systems is discharged at a flow-rate such that the chronic toxicitylevel is below the "No Observable Effect Concentration" (NOEC) at NPDES Discharge 001.2 The volumes of cooling water drained in 2013 from the component cooling water (CCW), servicecooling water (SCW), and intake cooling water (ICW) systems are presented below. Theglutaraldehyde (Glut) and isothiazoline (Iso) concentrations presented in the table are systemconcentrations, not concentrations at the point of discharge to receiving water.Volume Glut Iso Total Oil & Reason &Date System (gallons) | |||

: c. Sample Analysis Issues1. During the second quarter of 2013, an issue was identified that affected the accuracy of analysisfor metals in the monthly samples from Discharge 001, and quarterly samples from the Intake. Theidentified issue impacts carried over into the third quarter. | |||
Compensatory actions includedemploying an ELAP-Certified vendor laboratory to analyze or re-analyze Intake and Discharge 001samples for comparison of the results. | |||
The root cause of the issue was identified during methodoptimization that was performed with the assistance of a specialist from the instrument manufacturer. | |||
Methods and respective procedures were corrected to prevent recurrence. | |||
Vendorlab results were averaged with the Diablo Canyon laboratory analysis results for reporting duringthe period affected. | |||
The pertinent vendor laboratory reports were included as attachments in theappropriate quarterly reports. | |||
The analysis final values were all below the permit limits for therespective 6-month median results at Discharge 001, which are the most conservative. | |||
: d. Exceedances | |||
: 1. On March 22, 2013, a 10-minute injection system test (test) of sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) andsodium bromide (bromine) was run on Unit 2 during a time period in which routinely scheduled seawater conduit chemical treatments do not occur. The system test was run during unit start-upactivities at the end of the 2R 17 refueling outage, and immediately following return to service ofcirculating water pump 2-2. The activity was intended to verify acceptable residual oxidant(chlorine) concentrations at the Unit 2 discharge for conduits 2-1 and 2-2 combined outflow prior toresuming routine treatment cycles. The test injection was in addition to the routinely scheduled 6x20-minutes per unit/conduit daily treatment regime (Reference Section C.). Following a testinjection, the subsequent routine treatment for the affected unit is typically skipped to ensure nomore than 2-hours of conduit chemical injection is completed during a calendar day.Following the test injection, the next routine chemical injection for Unit 2 was not skipped; whichresulted in 2-hours and 10-minutes of conduit treatment for Unit 2 during the calendar day. Thissubsequently caused 2-hours and 10-minutes of detectable residual oxidant (chlorine) at the3 Unit 2 outfall for the same calendar day. This exceeded the 2-hours per/day per/unit permit limitfor 001 discharge residual chlorine. | |||
Exceedance of the detectable total residual chlorine (TRC)time-limit was discovered on March 23, 2013, and the Central Coast Regional Water QualityControl Board was subsequently notified via telephone message the same day. Exceedance ofplant outfall residual chlorine concentration limits did not occur as a result of the event.Immediate actions taken included verification the chemical injection systems was functioning | |||
: normally, and exceedance of the 2-hour detectable chlorine limit for Unit 2 was not caused bysystem malfunction. | |||
System operability and functionality was confirmed satisfactory, and theincident cause determined to be an inadvertent system operator error. An enhanced operatorguide was placed on the local control panel for the intake sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromideinjection system to reduce the potential for recurrence of a similar unit conduit treatment error.Additional procedural guidance for system operations was also developed and implemented. | |||
: 2. On November 29, 2013, a value of 99-ppb for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) was discovered onthe Unit 1 outfall monitor for the 00:00 (midnight) chemical treatment cycle. The value resulted inan exceedence of the 89-ppb calculated Ocean Plan limit for TRC discharge during a 20-minute cooling water conduit chlorination treatment. | |||
The event was not an exceedence of the NPDESpermit limit for TRC of 200-ppb. | |||
Regional Water Quality Control Board staff (von Langen) wasnotified via voice-mail message on the same day, within the 24-hour reporting requirement. | |||
An event investigation indicated cause of the high Unit 1 residual chlorine was occlusion of anintake chemical treatment system pump skid injection line. Train-B of the intake injection system isused alternately to deliver bulk chlorine and bromine chemicals to the 1-2 (Unit 1) and 2-2 (Unit 2)cooling water conduits. | |||
The occlusion, identified in the 2-2 conduit injection line, resulted inaccumulation of concentrated chemical in the shared upstream piping of pump skid Train-B, andsubsequent inadequate freshwater flush of the piping following the 2-2 conduit chemical treatment conducted at 21:00 on 11/28/13. | |||
The accumulated chemical was then injected into the 1-2 conduitat the start of the midnight chemical treatment for Unit 1, resulting in an initial significant concentration of residual oxidant in the seawater | |||
: conduit, and subsequent TRC spike at the Unit 1outfall. | |||
System Train-B injections were shut down until the 2-2 line was evaluated and cleared.Corrective actions included replacement of an in-line check valve found to be partially | |||
: degraded, and cleaning of the chemical line terminal injection port found occluded with chemical precipitate. | |||
: e. Overflow Release1. On August 8, 2013, it was discovered that the septic tank for plant site Building-123 wasoverflowing, and effluent had migrated across the adjacent roadway and down the embankment leading to the Plant Intake Cove. The flow of water was stopped when a running toilet found insidethe building was subsequently shut-off. | |||
An estimate of 50-60 gallons of water may have reachedthe embankment leading to the Cove. The volume of water which may have migrated through therip-rap armor placed on the embankment could not be estimated. | |||
It is likely however that all thewater was completely absorbed by the dry soils and fill immediately adjacent the roadway andunder the rip-rap.Regional Water Quality Control Board staff were notified the morning the spill was discovered. | |||
: Overall, less than 1,000 gallons of water may have overflowed the septic tank before the runningfixture was shut-off, most being absorbed into the soils and fill directly beneath and adjacent thebuilding. | |||
The effluent released was primarily clean fresh water, as the septic tank had beenemptied two days prior to the event, and the building has limited and infrequent use. The toilet wasevaluated and parts replaced, and signs have been installed in the building's bathrooms to promptusers to check all water use fixtures after actuating to help reduce the potential for inadvertent run-ons to the septic tank. No NPDES limits were exceeded due to this event.4 | |||
: f. Bypasses1. On September 28, 2013, it was discovered that operation of the Unit 2 turbine building sump pump2-2 was causing leak-off from the pump shaft casing to splash over into the clean side of thesump, releasing some wastewater overboard prior to normal routing through the oily waterseparator (OWS) system. This was an inadvertent partial bypass for pathway 001 F. Based onoperator rounds and system monitoring, it is estimated that the splash over had occurred duringsump pump operations for up to two days.The sump system pumps routinely operate for approximately 20-minutes 3-times each operating shift, and the wastewater volume introduced into the clean-to-overboard compartment of the sumpwas estimated at approximately 1-gpm. Therefore, the maximum volume released overboard viathe partial pathway bypass was estimated at 250-gallons. | |||
Following discovery of the issue,chemistry samples were taken, and pump 2-2 was shut-down pending troubleshooting and repair.Sample analysis determined the effluent TSS was 38.8 mg/I and O&G was negative. | |||
RegionalWater Quality Control Board staff were notified of the event the same day it was discovered. | |||
Corrective actions included repair of a degraded pump discharge check valve that was contributing to a higher than normal leak-off rate from the pump shaft casing, and adjustment of the shaftcasing pipe so that leak-off ports would not be directed toward the concrete partition whichseparates the clean side compartment of the sump from the dirty compartment. | |||
No NPDES limitswere exceeded for pathway 001 F due to this event.B. Monitoring of Receiving Water1. Ecological Studies at Diablo CanyonMarine ecological monitoring was continued during 2013 under the Receiving Water Monitoring Program(RWMP) as requested in a letter from the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board(CCRWQCB) dated December 9, 1998, and as detailed in a letter from PG&E dated January 8, 1999(DCL-99-503). | |||
This program includes tasks from the Ecological Monitoring Program (EMP) with additional stations and increased sampling frequencies. | |||
This program replaces the EMP and the Thermal EffectsMonitoring Program (TEMP). Several one-year-only tasks outlined in the above letters were completed in1999 and were not requested to be performed in 2013. Results of 2012 RWMP data were submitted to theCCRWQCB on April 27, 2013. A table in Appendix 4 summarizes requirements and completed monitoring tasks for 2013.2. In Situ BioassayResults of the Mussel Watch Program are reported to the CCRWQCB directly by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDF&G) in the agency's periodic report for this program.C. Sodium Bromide Treatment ProgramDCPP continued an integrated sodium bromide and "foul release coating" strategy to control macrofouling inthe Circulating Water System (CWS). Both circulating water conduits of each Unit can be chemically treatedsimultaneously. | |||
The treatment program consists of six 20-minute injections (at 4-hour intervals) of a blend ofgeneric sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite into the plant seawater intake conduits. | |||
Each injection attempts to achieve a target concentration of 200 parts per billion (ppb) Total Residual Oxidant (TRO) at theinlet waterbox of the main steam condensers. | |||
Discharge TRO, measured at the plant outfall, remained belowNPDES limitations with except of a single equipment related incident that occurred in November (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedances Item 2). Typically, discharge TRO values were between 20 ppb and 50 ppb. Inconjunction with the chemical treatment, untreated portions of the cooling water system were previously painted with a non-toxic "foul release coating" to reduce or prevent attachment of fouling organisms. | |||
5 Both conduits of Unit 1 were treated with simultaneous injections of sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite six times a day throughout the first three quarters of 2013 with brief interruptions in January, | |||
: February, March,April, June, and September for maintenance activities. | |||
The simultaneous treatment continued during the fourthquarter of 2013 with an interruption at the end of October for a scheduled seawater tunnel cleaning curtailment, and one additional brief interruption in December for scheduled maintenance activities. | |||
In addition, injections to the 1-2 conduit were secured in late November and early December due to operational concerns with theintake chemical system equipment (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedences Item 2).Both conduits of Unit 2 were treated with simultaneous injections of sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite six times a day through most of January with one brief interruption for maintenance activities. | |||
On January 22,2013 sodium bromide was terminated in preparation for the 2R17 refueling outage, and at the end of Januarythe remaining Unit 2 sodium hypochlorite injections were terminated. | |||
Simultaneous injections of sodiumhypochlorite and sodium bromide were restored as each Unit 2 circulating water pump was restored to servicenear the end of 2R17 (after mid-March). | |||
There were brief interruptions in treatment near the end of March,June, July, September, and October for maintenance activities. | |||
In addition, injections to the 2-2 conduit weresecured late November and early December due to operational concerns with the intake chemical systemequipment (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedences Item 2).D. ErrataTwo reporting errors have been identified in the electronic 4th quarter 2013 discharge self-monitoring report(eSMR) that was submitted via CIWQS. The units for analysis results of Ammonia, Total (as N) at locations M-001 and M-INF (only) were incorrectly reported as pg/L.

Analytical results belowthe respective analytical detection limit (ND or non-detect) are plotted as a "zero" value in accordance withELAP guidance.
Results between the analytical detection limit and reporting (quantitation) limits are plotted atthe value and shown as 'DNQ' in the tabular summaries as is done for CIWQS reports.
Less-than results aretypically reported to express an average of values that include non-detects and at least one positive result.These less-than results are plotted conservatively at the value. During 2013, discharges occurred from alldischarge paths except 00 11, 001K, 016, and 017.California Ocean Plan Table B substances that were not analyzed for have not been added to the discharge stream. The substances listed in Table B in the California Ocean Plan were each analyzed for and reported inthe permit renewal application and application updates for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) submitted inOctober 1994, January 2001, and April 2011. There have been no changes in activities conducted at the plantthat would have significantly affected the results previously reported in the above referenced documents.

Circulating Water Chlorination/Bromination Monitoring The 2013 quarterly NPDES reports discuss chlorination cycles when discharge monitoring wasinterrupted.
These events are listed below, with brief descriptions of the cause and respective corrective action. When these monitoring interruptions
- occurred, engineering evaluations wereperformed (as approved by the CCRWQCB January 13, 1994; PG&E Letter No. DCL-94-002).
Detailed descriptions of these evaluations are included in the respective quarterly reports.
Theevaluations concluded that discharge chlorine limits were not exceeded during these events.Chlorination CycleDate Monitoring Cause Corrective ActionI Interruptions 1 105/02/13 to Unit 2 Sample tubing fouled with Sample tubing cleaned.05/09/13 43 Readings biological growth. Sampletubingcleaned.

- b. Closed Cooling Water ReleasesDuring 2013, maintenance activities that required draining of closed cooling water systems wereperformed, and are summarized below. PG&E received concurrence from the CCRWQCB inresponse to letters dated July 19, 1995 (PG&E Letter DCL-95-156),
May 23, 1996 (PG&E Letter DCL-96-522),
and May 19, 1997 (PG&E Letter DCL-97-533) regarding the use of glutaraldehyde andisothiazolin to control microbiological growth and corrosion in DCPP's freshwater closed cooling watersystems.
Any drainage from these systems is discharged at a flow-rate such that the chronic toxicitylevel is below the "No Observable Effect Concentration" (NOEC) at NPDES Discharge 001.2 The volumes of cooling water drained in 2013 from the component cooling water (CCW), servicecooling water (SCW), and intake cooling water (ICW) systems are presented below. Theglutaraldehyde (Glut) and isothiazoline (Iso) concentrations presented in the table are systemconcentrations, not concentrations at the point of discharge to receiving water.Volume Glut Iso Total Oil & Reason &Date System (gallons)

- c. Sample Analysis Issues1. During the second quarter of 2013, an issue was identified that affected the accuracy of analysisfor metals in the monthly samples from Discharge 001, and quarterly samples from the Intake. Theidentified issue impacts carried over into the third quarter.
Compensatory actions includedemploying an ELAP-Certified vendor laboratory to analyze or re-analyze Intake and Discharge 001samples for comparison of the results.
The root cause of the issue was identified during methodoptimization that was performed with the assistance of a specialist from the instrument manufacturer.
Methods and respective procedures were corrected to prevent recurrence.
Vendorlab results were averaged with the Diablo Canyon laboratory analysis results for reporting duringthe period affected.
The pertinent vendor laboratory reports were included as attachments in theappropriate quarterly reports.
The analysis final values were all below the permit limits for therespective 6-month median results at Discharge 001, which are the most conservative.
- d. Exceedances
- 1. On March 22, 2013, a 10-minute injection system test (test) of sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) andsodium bromide (bromine) was run on Unit 2 during a time period in which routinely scheduled seawater conduit chemical treatments do not occur. The system test was run during unit start-upactivities at the end of the 2R 17 refueling outage, and immediately following return to service ofcirculating water pump 2-2. The activity was intended to verify acceptable residual oxidant(chlorine) concentrations at the Unit 2 discharge for conduits 2-1 and 2-2 combined outflow prior toresuming routine treatment cycles. The test injection was in addition to the routinely scheduled 6x20-minutes per unit/conduit daily treatment regime (Reference Section C.). Following a testinjection, the subsequent routine treatment for the affected unit is typically skipped to ensure nomore than 2-hours of conduit chemical injection is completed during a calendar day.Following the test injection, the next routine chemical injection for Unit 2 was not skipped; whichresulted in 2-hours and 10-minutes of conduit treatment for Unit 2 during the calendar day. Thissubsequently caused 2-hours and 10-minutes of detectable residual oxidant (chlorine) at the3 Unit 2 outfall for the same calendar day. This exceeded the 2-hours per/day per/unit permit limitfor 001 discharge residual chlorine.
Exceedance of the detectable total residual chlorine (TRC)time-limit was discovered on March 23, 2013, and the Central Coast Regional Water QualityControl Board was subsequently notified via telephone message the same day. Exceedance ofplant outfall residual chlorine concentration limits did not occur as a result of the event.Immediate actions taken included verification the chemical injection systems was functioning
- normally, and exceedance of the 2-hour detectable chlorine limit for Unit 2 was not caused bysystem malfunction.
System operability and functionality was confirmed satisfactory, and theincident cause determined to be an inadvertent system operator error. An enhanced operatorguide was placed on the local control panel for the intake sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromideinjection system to reduce the potential for recurrence of a similar unit conduit treatment error.Additional procedural guidance for system operations was also developed and implemented.
- 2. On November 29, 2013, a value of 99-ppb for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) was discovered onthe Unit 1 outfall monitor for the 00:00 (midnight) chemical treatment cycle. The value resulted inan exceedence of the 89-ppb calculated Ocean Plan limit for TRC discharge during a 20-minute cooling water conduit chlorination treatment.
The event was not an exceedence of the NPDESpermit limit for TRC of 200-ppb.
Regional Water Quality Control Board staff (von Langen) wasnotified via voice-mail message on the same day, within the 24-hour reporting requirement.
An event investigation indicated cause of the high Unit 1 residual chlorine was occlusion of anintake chemical treatment system pump skid injection line. Train-B of the intake injection system isused alternately to deliver bulk chlorine and bromine chemicals to the 1-2 (Unit 1) and 2-2 (Unit 2)cooling water conduits.
The occlusion, identified in the 2-2 conduit injection line, resulted inaccumulation of concentrated chemical in the shared upstream piping of pump skid Train-B, andsubsequent inadequate freshwater flush of the piping following the 2-2 conduit chemical treatment conducted at 21:00 on 11/28/13.
The accumulated chemical was then injected into the 1-2 conduitat the start of the midnight chemical treatment for Unit 1, resulting in an initial significant concentration of residual oxidant in the seawater
- conduit, and subsequent TRC spike at the Unit 1outfall.
System Train-B injections were shut down until the 2-2 line was evaluated and cleared.Corrective actions included replacement of an in-line check valve found to be partially
- degraded, and cleaning of the chemical line terminal injection port found occluded with chemical precipitate.
- e. Overflow Release1. On August 8, 2013, it was discovered that the septic tank for plant site Building-123 wasoverflowing, and effluent had migrated across the adjacent roadway and down the embankment leading to the Plant Intake Cove. The flow of water was stopped when a running toilet found insidethe building was subsequently shut-off.
An estimate of 50-60 gallons of water may have reachedthe embankment leading to the Cove. The volume of water which may have migrated through therip-rap armor placed on the embankment could not be estimated.
It is likely however that all thewater was completely absorbed by the dry soils and fill immediately adjacent the roadway andunder the rip-rap.Regional Water Quality Control Board staff were notified the morning the spill was discovered.
- Overall, less than 1,000 gallons of water may have overflowed the septic tank before the runningfixture was shut-off, most being absorbed into the soils and fill directly beneath and adjacent thebuilding.
The effluent released was primarily clean fresh water, as the septic tank had beenemptied two days prior to the event, and the building has limited and infrequent use. The toilet wasevaluated and parts replaced, and signs have been installed in the building's bathrooms to promptusers to check all water use fixtures after actuating to help reduce the potential for inadvertent run-ons to the septic tank.

On September 28, 2013, it was discovered that operation of the Unit 2 turbine building sump pump2-2 was causing leak-off from the pump shaft casing to splash over into the clean side of thesump, releasing some wastewater overboard prior to normal routing through the oily waterseparator (OWS) system. This was an inadvertent partial bypass for pathway 001 F. Based onoperator rounds and system monitoring, it is estimated that the splash over had occurred duringsump pump operations for up to two days.The sump system pumps routinely operate for approximately 20-minutes 3-times each operating shift, and the wastewater volume introduced into the clean-to-overboard compartment of the sumpwas estimated at approximately 1-gpm. Therefore, the maximum volume released overboard viathe partial pathway bypass was estimated at 250-gallons.
Following discovery of the issue,chemistry samples were taken, and pump 2-2 was shut-down pending troubleshooting and repair.Sample analysis determined the effluent TSS was 38.8 mg/I and O&G was negative.
RegionalWater Quality Control Board staff were notified of the event the same day it was discovered.
Corrective actions included repair of a degraded pump discharge check valve that was contributing to a higher than normal leak-off rate from the pump shaft casing, and adjustment of the shaftcasing pipe so that leak-off ports would not be directed toward the concrete partition whichseparates the clean side compartment of the sump from the dirty compartment.
No NPDES limitswere exceeded for pathway 001 F due to this event.B. Monitoring of Receiving Water1. Ecological Studies at Diablo CanyonMarine ecological monitoring was continued during 2013 under the Receiving Water Monitoring Program(RWMP) as requested in a letter from the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board(CCRWQCB) dated December 9, 1998, and as detailed in a letter from PG&E dated January 8, 1999(DCL-99-503).
This program includes tasks from the Ecological Monitoring Program (EMP) with additional stations and increased sampling frequencies.
This program replaces the EMP and the Thermal EffectsMonitoring Program (TEMP). Several one-year-only tasks outlined in the above letters were completed in1999 and were not requested to be performed in 2013. Results of 2012 RWMP data were submitted to theCCRWQCB on April 27, 2013. A table in Appendix 4 summarizes requirements and completed monitoring tasks for 2013.2. In Situ BioassayResults of the Mussel Watch Program are reported to the CCRWQCB directly by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDF&G) in the agency's periodic report for this program.C. Sodium Bromide Treatment ProgramDCPP continued an integrated sodium bromide and "foul release coating" strategy to control macrofouling inthe Circulating Water System (CWS). Both circulating water conduits of each Unit can be chemically treatedsimultaneously.
The treatment program consists of six 20-minute injections (at 4-hour intervals) of a blend ofgeneric sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite into the plant seawater intake conduits.
Each injection attempts to achieve a target concentration of 200 parts per billion (ppb) Total Residual Oxidant (TRO) at theinlet waterbox of the main steam condensers.
Discharge TRO, measured at the plant outfall, remained belowNPDES limitations with except of a single equipment related incident that occurred in November (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedances Item 2). Typically, discharge TRO values were between 20 ppb and 50 ppb. Inconjunction with the chemical treatment, untreated portions of the cooling water system were previously painted with a non-toxic "foul release coating" to reduce or prevent attachment of fouling organisms.
5 Both conduits of Unit 1 were treated with simultaneous injections of sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite six times a day throughout the first three quarters of 2013 with brief interruptions in January,
- February, March,April, June, and September for maintenance activities.
The simultaneous treatment continued during the fourthquarter of 2013 with an interruption at the end of October for a scheduled seawater tunnel cleaning curtailment, and one additional brief interruption in December for scheduled maintenance activities.
In addition, injections to the 1-2 conduit were secured in late November and early December due to operational concerns with theintake chemical system equipment (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedences Item 2).Both conduits of Unit 2 were treated with simultaneous injections of sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite six times a day through most of January with one brief interruption for maintenance activities.
On January 22,2013 sodium bromide was terminated in preparation for the 2R17 refueling outage, and at the end of Januarythe remaining Unit 2 sodium hypochlorite injections were terminated.
Simultaneous injections of sodiumhypochlorite and sodium bromide were restored as each Unit 2 circulating water pump was restored to servicenear the end of 2R17 (after mid-March).
There were brief interruptions in treatment near the end of March,June, July, September, and October for maintenance activities.
In addition, injections to the 2-2 conduit weresecured late November and early December due to operational concerns with the intake chemical systemequipment (Reference Section A.4.d. exceedences Item 2).D.
