Title | Unusual Event for a Fire Lasting Greater than Ten Minutes |
Event Description | Licensee declared an Unusual Event due to a fire that was not extinguished within 10 minutes - EAL U4A. There were no flames, only smoke. Control Room received a Bus 2 ground alarm, reduced power, secured the B Main Feedwater Pump, inserted control rods below the Maximum Extended Load Limit Analysis (MELLA) line, and then secured the C Condensate Pump. The ground alarm cleared after securing the C Condensate Pump.
CO2 discharged automatically into the switchgear room due to the smoke in the switchgear room. The switchgear room has been ventilated, site personnel have entered and no other damage to the switchgear has been identified other than the C Condensate pump breaker. Offsite Fire (Vernon Fire Department) responded to the site and is assisting with ventilation. One ambulance is responding to transport a Fire Brigade member that is not feeling well due to heat. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector, and State and Local emergency response organizations. Notified R1 PAO (Screnci).
Licensee called to terminate the Unusual Event. The plant is in a stable condition with no other outstanding problems. Ventilation of the switchgear room is continuing and air samples are being analyzed. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector, and State and Local emergency response organizations. Notified R1 (Holian, Powell, Bores), IRD (Blount), NRR EO (Haney), R1DO (Gray), DHS (Lee) and FEMA (Casto) |
