TRITIUM DETECTED IN TRANSFORMER YARD MONITORING WELL
"On October 5, 2005, at approximately 1520 hours a condition report was written to report that tritium was detected in monitoring well MW-111 located in the Indian Point [Unit] 2 transformer yard. The sample indicated 2.11E-4 micro curies per cc [cubic centimeter]. Other [nearby] sampling wells showed negative. Follow up samples and an investigation are in progress. The sampling that was done was part of an ongoing investigation to verify and quantify previously identified leakage, potentially from the spent fuel pool. Courtesy calls have been made to local officials to notify them of these findings."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
