| ENS 56685 | 20 August 2023 20:00:00 | 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), Notification to Government Agency or News Release 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i), Tech Spec Required Shutdown 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A), Seriously Degraded | Technical Specification Required Shutdown | The following information was provided by the licensee via email: On 8/20/2023 at 1600 EDT, during plant walkdowns in the drywell while in mode 3 to identify a cause of increasing unidentified leakage rate, reactor coolant system pressure boundary leakage (approximately 2 gpm) was identified on the reactor recirculation sample line between the reactor recirculation sample line inboard isolation valve (B3100F019) and where the sample line taps off the B reactor recirculation jet pump riser. This requires entry into technical specification 3.4.4 condition C, identification of pressure boundary leakage with a required action to be in mode 3 in 12 hours and mode 4 in 36 hours. At 1630 EDT, a technical specification required shutdown to mode 4, cold shutdown, was initiated. A press release by DTE is anticipated. This event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i), a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), and an eight-hour, non-emergency notification 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) for the degraded condition of the pressure boundary. Investigation into the cause of the reactor coolant system pressure boundary leakage is still ongoing. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC resident inspector has been notified. | Reactor Coolant System | |
| ENS 55357 | 15 July 2021 21:40:00 | 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), Notification to Government Agency or News Release | Offsite Notification Due to Exceeding NPDES Limit | While preparing for the June 2021 Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR), Environmental was entering data per the lab results that were sent from Pace Analytical for the June DMRs. On June 1, 2021, a National Pollutant Discharge Eliminating System (NPDES) sample was collected at outfall 001A to test for copper, there is a NPDES permit condition to monitor for copper on a quarterly basis. The lab report was returned to Fermi Environmental on June 15, 2021. The results came back at 41.2 micrograms/liter. Fermi's NPDES permit maximum limit is 40 micrograms/liter for outfall 001A. Due to the June 1, 2021 sample exceeding the permit limit, a second sample was collected on June 21, 2021 as a verification sample and the copper results came back July 13, 2021. Those results came back at 5.9 micrograms/liter which is within the permit limit. Environmental was aware of the June 1, 2021 copper exceedance limit but failed to recognize the reporting requirement at the time of the discovery because it was thought that the exceedance would be reported through the DMR submittal. The June DMRs are due on July 20, 2021. At approximately 1740 EDT on July 15, 2021, a Fermi environmental engineer was preparing and reviewing the Discharge Monitoring Report and identified that a recent sample result for outfall 001A was outside of the NPDES permit limit for Copper. The Copper sample result was 41.2 micrograms/liter with a limit of 40 micrograms/liter. Subsequent discussions with Environmental personnel determined that this issue should be reported to the state of Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE). A discussion is planned with EGLE on July 16, 2021. This notification is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) based on the planned notification to EGLE. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

| ENS 46513 | 27 December 2010 20:37:00 | 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), Notification to Government Agency or News Release | Offsite Notifications - Exceeded Discharge Permit | On December 27, 2010, at 1537, a report was made to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment for exceeding the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limits to outfall 011A. The limits were exceeded due to the General Service Water (GSW) traveling screens being in continuous operation and the back wash being aligned to outfall 011A which resulted in exceeding the maximum discharge limit of 1.8 million gallons per calendar day as a result of a fish intrusion event occurring at the GSW intake. The GSW traveling screens have been in continuous operation since 2100 on December 25 and the daily discharge limit was reached at 1700 on December 26. The condition was necessary to maintain safe and reliable operations of the plant in response to the fish intrusion. The GSW traveling screens are being continuously monitored in order to limit unnecessary discharge into outfall 011A and restore full compliance with the NPDES permit as conditions improve. This report is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) 'Any event or situation.
