OFFSITE NOTIFICATION MADE FOR POTENTIAL FUEL OIL LEAKAGE
"On 12/14/16 at 1206 [EST], 0-PT-89.9K (underground fuel-oil piping pressure test), was performed UNSAT after a failed attempt to maintain pressure in the supply line to the Unit 2 'H' Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Day Tank. The exact source of the leakage is unknown at this time but is reasonable to believe some fuel oil was released underground. The associated Fuel Oil line is currently tagged out and isolated. This condition is reportable to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality [VA DEQ] as part of the Underground Storage Tank Program. Pressure tasting of the other EDG fuel oil supply lines has been previously completed satisfactorily. The 2H EDG remains Operable as the redundant fuel oil transfer pump and its fuel oil piping are Operable and capable of maintaining adequate day tank level. The VA DEQ was notified of this condition
at 1130 [EST] on 12/15/16.
"This event is reportable in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) for 'Any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or onsite personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a news release is planned or notification to other government agencies has been or will be made.'"
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will notify Louisa County.
