FIVE GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL SPILLED ONSITE REQUIRING STATE NOTIFICATION

"At 1705 [EDT] on May13th, 2014, approximately 5 gallons of diesel fuel oil was spilled onto the ground on the south side of the Service Water Intake structure at the Salem Generating Station. The spill of diesel fuel was caused by a leak from the fuel supply line to the service water hot air furnace. The leak was isolated at the time of discovery and the spill terminated. The diesel fuel oil cleanup is in progress by Clean Harbors personnel and will continue until the spill has been remediated.

"Nuclear Environmental Affairs Department determined a 4 hr report to the NRC under RAL 11.8.2.a. was warranted due to the 15 minute notification to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection at 1651 [EDT] on May 14, 2014."

The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
