Title	Chemical Spill to the Delaware River
Event Description	A notification was made to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection of a discharge of approximately 6-10 gallons of Sodium Hypochlorite with a 15% chlorine concentration. The discharge occurred while returning the chlorination system to service following maintenance. The solution was discharged into the intake bay of an out-of-service circulating water pump that communicates with the Delaware River. A portable screen wash pump, that takes a suction on that bay, transported the chlorine to the intake pump traveling water screens and discharged to the Delaware River via the screen debris trough. Neither of these locations are New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection permitted outfalls. There was no out-of-service safety related equipment that contributed to this event. No one was injured as a result of this event. This event was caused when a floor drain plug was knocked loose during maintenance. This plug is being replaced. 8-10 fish were killed in the trough. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
