Title

  • Exelon Braidwood Nuclear Facility Update on Tritium Releases and Groundwater Impacts

Description

  • The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) has been working since late November 2005 to fully discover the extent of groundwater contamination at the Exelon Braidwood Generating Facility. Two violations notices have been issued to Exelon, and the Agency has referred a case to the Illinois Attorney Generals Office for enforcement. Illinois EPA requested significant testing of groundwater near the plant in areas of previous leaks of water that contained tritium. Exelon has installed numerous sampling wells and has tested many private wells in the area. A complete investigation report is due soon from Exelon, and this will be available to the public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The printable map referenced in the fact sheet will be attached as a separate pdf document.
