FUEL OIL SPILL
"At 0025 [on] 3/12/03, notification was made to offsite government agencies, the U.S. Coast Guard National Response Center and the Alabama Department of Environment Management. The notification was required because approximately 50 gallons of fuel oil were spilled on site reaching on site waters. Control measures were implemented to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters. Plant operations were unaffected."
The source of the spill was the fuel oil storage tank for 2 "C" Emergency Diesel Generator. While in the process of filling the tank, the worker became distracted and did not secure at 96 percent full per procedure. This was not a 'reportable quantity'.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
