| Title | Offsite Notification Due to Onsite Oil Spill |
| Event Description | At 0951 EDT on September 6, 2014, it was determined that Beaver Valley Unit 2 had experienced an oil spill to the catch basin system that progressed to the Ohio River, requiring notification of:
National Response Center (incident report #1094523), Pennsylvania (PA) Department of Environmental Protection, Beaver County Emergency Management Agency, PA Emergency Management Agency and, Downstream water authorities (Midland Water Authority, Allegheny Ludlum, East Liverpool Water Co.) This notification is a required 4-hour report per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi). Oil was inadvertently pumped from a transformer spill catch area during routine seasonal water removal efforts. Oil was not expected in the catch area and the spill catch area had tested negative for oil during pre-removal testing. An oil sheen has been detected on the Ohio River immediately surrounding the outfall. The source of the spill has been terminated, however some residual oil is washing out of the catch basin system into the river. It is estimated that less than 5 gallons entered the river. Clean up efforts for the catch basins are currently underway and containment efforts for the oil in the river are being evaluated. A press release is currently being planned. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
The licensee has decided not to issue a press release concerning this event. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1DO (Ferdas). |
