Junk Dead Ender Fitzpatrick: No Radioactivity In Turbine Lube Oil Release to the Lake

Region 1 just called me up. They report no radioactivity, below detectable levels...in the turbine lube oil. I believe the NRC now. It would have been nice to see the agency backstopped them. They independently tested the lube oil on the agency's gear for radioactivity. It as venial sin anyways. So I trust what the agency told me. There was no release of radioactivity during the turbine lube release... 

The big left open question is, what is the level of radioactivity coming out of the Fitz's  turbine lube oil vapor extractor vent piping during normal operation. What is in that plume coming from the vent pipe? The NRC said they will get me that information.
