Quick Glance: Xcel is cleaning up a radioactive water spill at its Monticello power plant.
- According to state regulators, a broken pipe at Xcel Energy's Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant leaked about 400,000 gallons of water containing radioactive tritium, and the utility is working to clean up the contaminated plume.
- Tritium levels from the Monticello leak are well below NRC safety thresholds, and the plant is not violating regulations, according to NRC spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng.
- Tritium could escape from a nuclear plant anywhere water could, he said.
- Despite the seepage, the highest level of tritium found by Xcel since 2016 was less than half the federal drinking water limit, according to the filing.
