OFFSITE NOTIFICATION OF A MINOR RELEASE OF NON-RADIOLOGICAL DILUTED CLEANING SOLUTION TO THE OHIO RIVER
"During routine floor cleaning activities inside of the BVPS [Beaver Valley Power Station] Main River Water Intake Structure, approximately one and one half cups (approximately 12 oz.) of Simple Green cleaning solution diluted in three gallons of mop cleaning water was inadvertently released into the Ohio River. Subsequent to confirmation of the inadvertent release to the Ohio river, a notification was made to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, (PADEP).
"This offsite notification to PADEP requires a 4-hour report per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi). Actions were taken to preclude any further liquid cleaning solution to be released, and no detectable impact to the Ohio River was observed. The amount of cleaning solution does not exceed any Reportable Quantity limit that would be hazardous to the environment or personal health. No press release is planned.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
