OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO ACID SPILL ONSITE
"At 0900 hrs Comanche Peak reported a spill of approximately 550 gallons of Hydroxy Ethylidene Diphosphonic Acid (Trade name 'Thru Guard') to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Committee (TNRCC). The spill occurred at 0030 hrs. on 6/15/01 when a thunderstorm moving through the area caused the level gauge glass of the outside storage tank to separate from the tank. An estimated 20 gal of the spilled acid reached Squaw Creek Reservoir before the spill was contained.
"Clean up activities were completed at 0800 hrs on 6/15/01."
The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this notification by the licensee.
