OFFSITE NOTIFICATION
On 5/24/03, Maine Yankee left an inaccurate message on their answering service that provides the public with information regarding the daily release of radioactivity from the site. Due to the vacuum drying of spent fuel that was being transferred from the fuel pool to dry storage casks, the daily gaseous release from the site on 5/24/03 was 0.1 Curies, which disagreed with the level of 0.01 Curies that was left on an information telephone recording that the public can access. On 5/28/03, the licensee discovered this administrative error and informed the Maine Emergency Management Agency and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
The Region 1 Duty Officer was informed of this event.
