OFFSITE NOTIFICATION
"On 7/23/2019 at 1405 PDT, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) made a required formal notification to the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the state of California concerning a monthly oil sample of the oil removal system. The sample was analyzed to contain 42 ppm oil. This number exceeds the daily instantaneous maximum of 20 ppm.
"An additional sample was taken approximately one minute later and was analyzed to contain 8.1 ppm oil, potentially indicating a problem with the initial sample. Additional investigation is underway and a written follow-up report will be submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board within 5 days in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit."
The licensee will inform NRC Region IV staff.
