October 9,1974 Mr. J.P. O'Rolll/, Director j Directorate Of Regulatory Region I 631 Park Avenue King Of Prussia, Pa. 19405 Operating License OPR 50 Docket 50-239 Subjet.t: Inadvertent rolesse of radio ctive r.sterial at THI due to leakage from the Reactor Coolant Maste F.vaporator.
.
Dear Mr. O'P.cilly:
-
This teleDram is to confirm a conversation between Ralph I'.cyer (AEC) J.G.
Herbein (Station Superintendant), and J.J. Colitz (Unit Superintendent) at 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> 8 October 1974 hrld at the THI Nuclear Statien.
On October 8,1974 an inadvertant release of radioactive material occurred.
The. inadvertant. radioactive raterial releass occurred due to. radioactive gas ..
from the vent header flo ting thru the vent line to the evaporator feed tank and subsequently leaking frcm the food tank to the at:.esphere of the auxiliary building. Auxiliary building exhaust fans then discharged the radicactive gas to t.he plant vent stack.
Analysis of radiation effluent conitor recorder chsrts and local air ser.ples indicate the radioactive raterial released was predominately Xel33, and that the instantaneous noble gas release rate was 4.2 x 104 m3 below the technical :cecification limit of 1.2 x 105 =3 /s/sec.,
ec. Thewhich is average releare rata over the 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 45 ainute period of this nelcase was 1.83 x 104 M/sec, with a totti release of noble 9as of 74 curies.
Operating personnel in the vicinity of the evaporator at the ti=e of the incident were ronitored, decontaminated as necessary, and had nose swabs taken. Whole Body Counting was precluded based on the presence of only short lived particulates and gases.
