“Nitric acid started dripping … in one of nine units… The unit was safety stopped and the nitric acid spilled on the concrete. However, it was cleaned up before it could reach the ground waters. There were some fumes since some acid spread over the territory of the plant,” Miliauskas explained.

The incident had no effect on the facility’s operations, he said adding that the broken pipe should be repaired by the end of the day.
