OFFSITE NOTIFICATION RELATED TO FISH KILL
"At 1045 the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) control room was notified by an Xcel Energy environmental specialist that a fish kill count was conducted on the morning of 3/5/11 following reactor shutdown. In accordance with the MNGP water appropriations permit for fish kill in the Mississippi river, the environmental specialist will be notifying the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
"Notifications made to above government agencies meet the reporting criteria established in 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) as an event or situation related to the protection of the environment for which a notification to government agencies has been or will be made.
"Total fish kill was determined to be approximately 100 fish downstream of the plant's discharge canal. Fish kill was the result of cooldown of water being discharged to the river from the plant's discharge canal. All temperature limits specified in the plant's water appropriation permit were met throughout the shutdown. There was no release of any chemical or radioactive materials to the environment."
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will be notifying appropriate state and local authorities.
