| title = Plant Had a Freon Leak in the Drywell Chiller Room
| event text = The plant reported that there was a freon leak in the Drywell Chiller Room located in the Unit 2 Reactor Building.  Maintenance was being performed on the refrigeration equipment relief valve when the gas began to escape into the room.  There were six men working in the room and two were affected by the freon gas.  They were treated on site and released.  Oxygen content in the room was 20.5% and LEL for hydrocarbons was alarming at 19%.  The drywell chiller room is secured and being cleared of the 1,200 pounds of freon gas.  At this time an investigation is being made to determine the cause which may have been due to the relief valve opening or the workers removing the valve.  The plant entered the NOUE due to a "toxic gas release".  The NOUE will be terminated when the room is habitable.
