Title | Unusual Event - Main Transformer Fire |
Event Description | NUE declared on Hatch Unit 1 due to a fire on the main transformer lasting greater than 10 minutes. Unit 1 reactor scram on main turbine trip. Group 2 PCIV (Primary Containment Isolation Valves) isolation on low reactor water level (+3 inches). All group 2 valves closed as required. Fire extinguished at 1358 hours0.0157 days <br />0.377 hours <br />0.00225 weeks <br />5.16719e-4 months <br />. Plant is stable.
All control rods fully inserted on the reactor scram. The plant is in hot shutdown steaming through the turbine bypass valves to the main condenser. No safety systems are affected. Emergency electrical buses are on normal offsite power and emergency diesel generators are available if required. The onsite fire brigade responded to the fire and the fire suppression system for the main transformer functioned as expected. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
The licensee is still in a NUE. The fire is out. The fire reflashed at 1603 when the deluge system was secured to inspect the transformer. The deluge system was restarted immediately. Offsite fire support have responded. Cleanup efforts are in progress. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified IRD (Blount), R2DO (Cahill), and NRR EO (J. Hannon).
The licensee is still in a NUE. This call is to add an offsite notification per 10 CFR 72.75 (b)(2) to another government agency. The site chemistry department notified the National Response Center (Coast Guard) at 1636 that the site had discharged an unknown quantity of oil into the Altamaha River and was implementing site spill control and countermeasures procedures. The licensee also notified the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified IRD (Blount), NRR EO (J. Hannon), and R2DO(Cahill).
The licensee reports that the fire is confirmed extinguished (i.e., no risk of reflash) based on long term monitoring of the transformer including thermography measurements. The Unit remains in an Unusual Event until assessment activities related to the transformer fire have been completed. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
