Title | Unusual Event Declared Due to a Fire Alarm in the Stack Filter House |
Event Description | At 0624 [EDT], the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) declared an Unusual Event due to a fire alarm in the Stack Filter House. The classification of the Unusual Event is based on Emergency Action Level (EAL) HU2.1, 'Fire not extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification or verification of a control room fire alarm.' Verification of fire could not be made within 15 minutes of fire alarm due to confined space conditions. Actual fire conditions did not exist; alarm was caused by environmental conditions.
There is no impact on the health and safety of the public. The licensee terminated the Unusual Event at 0650 EDT. Personnel injuries and equipment damage did not occur. Offsite assistance was not required. The licensee has notified the state and local authorities. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified DHS, FEMA, DHS NICC and NuclearSSA.
This event is being retracted based upon the following: As stated in the original event notification, an actual fire condition did not exist and the control room fire alarm was caused by environmental conditions. Because an actual fire did not exist and the fire detection system alarm was not valid, the condition described in the Emergency Action Level (EAL) HU2.1, 'Fire not extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification or verification of a control room fire alarm,' also did not exist. The Unusual Event was terminated at 0650 [EDT]. The Unusual Event classification was appropriately made, in accordance with the EAL basis which requires the control room alarm be validated by other indications or alarms or by an actual field report, or the classification must be made. Based on the preceding information, Event Notification 48890 is retracted. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R2DO (Rich) and the NRR EO (Lee). |
