Title | Alert Declared Due to an Ammonia Leak |
Event Description | On November 1, 2011 at 1450 PDT, San Onofre Unit 3 declared an ALERT and entered EAL HA3.1 due to an ammonia leak that prevented access to local areas. The plant is in a stable condition while the leakage is being secured. The turbine building on Unit 3 has been evacuated. Plant personnel are in the process of verifying no presence of ammonia in the turbine building. There was no impact on Unit 2.
At 1807 PDT licensee exited the ALERT and EAL HA3.1. The leak was at the Ammonia day tank and was flowing through an overflow vent into the berm. The high level in the Ammonia day tank was due to a leaking closed valve between the Demineralizer system and the ammonia bulk storage. The berm area was drained of all fluids. The wind direction caused the ammonia fumes to travel to the Unit 3 turbine deck. No off-site HAZMAT personnel came on-site. At 1756 PDT the precautionary evacuation of on-site personnel was terminated. Unit 2 was not affected from this event. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. Notified NRR EO (Fredrick Brown), R4DO (Vincent Gaddy, IRDMOC (Jeff Grant), DHS (Hill), DOE (Doyle), USDA (Krauf), FEMA (Fuller) and HHS (Fajardo).
On November 1, 2011, Southern California Edison notified the California Emergency Management Agency at 1755 PDT and the San Diego Department of Environmental Health at 1810 PDT that approximately 25 gallons of Ammonium Hydroxide was spilled under the Ammonium Hydroxide day tank located outside the Unit 3 turbine building. The spill was contained in a berm under the tank and subsequently cleaned up. Both Units 2 and 3 were at approximately 100% power at the time of the event. Notified the R4DO (Gaddy). |
