WPPSS emergency exercise
too close to a real accident
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — An emergency exer
cise at the Washington Public Power Supply
System's No. 2 nuclear power plant turned into
the real thing for several hours Wednesday after a
"suspicious black substance" was found on two
tanks at the plant.
The material, which WPPSS officials feared
could be explosive, was eventually found to be
fist-sized chunks of electricians' putty.
The putty, also known as duct sealant, was
removed by members of the Richland Police
Department's bomb squad who were dressed in
special protective clothing and used a ladder to
climb up the outside of the tanks.
"We just don't take chances," said Gary
Petersen, a supply system spokesman.
Petersen said no one is sure how the material
got there, how long it had been there or why it
hadn't been spotted earlier.
"I assure you we will take every step to in
vestigate whether this is intentional. . .if it was a
hoax," he said. WPPSS along with the Benton
County Sheriff's office will conduct the
investigation.
"It should not have been there," he said.
Don Mazur, supply system managing direc
tor, was asked at a news conference whether
security at the plant had failed.
'.'I'm going to leave that question open until I
investigate how it got there,” he said. "I'm not
mad or upset, I'm ticked off. If it turns out to be
people playing games it's going to hurt."
A spokesman for the regional office of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Walnut Creek,
Calif., said the office was informed when an
"unusual event" was declared at the plant after
the "suspicious substance" was sighted Wednes
day morning.
Jim Hanchett said, however, that the NRC
played no direct role during the incident.
"If anything it shows a pretty good awareness
of security and a good response," Hanchett said.
An "unusual event" is one of four classes of
emergencies established by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. An unusual event is the
least severe of the categories, relating to "abnor
mal plant conditions that require notification of
state and county officials."
The plant was at 3 percent power when the
unusual event was declared.
