OFFSITE NOTIFICATION REGARDING A BOATING ACCIDENT ON THE SITE'S COOLING LAKE
On April 27, 2002, at 1140 CDT, the Main Control Room received a report from Outside Rounds Operator that a fishing boat had capsized on the station cooling lake and that two individuals aboard the capsized boat were at the Wastewater Treatment Facility after swimming ashore. One individual aboard the capsized boat remains missing. Currently, the boat has been recovered, but after a search of the lake perimeter, the third individual remains missing. The Ottawa Search and Rescue Team was on site to perform rescue operations but has determined that lake conditions are too rough to perform a water based rescue operation. State Police and LaSalle County Sheriff have been notified. Marseilles and Seneca Fire Departments are coming to the site to assist in a ground search. Department of Natural Resources officials are also assisting with the missing person search.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
