discharged into the diesel generator seven day fuel tank room 'A' through the fire suppression system nozzles, and then drifted to the access bay for the four fuel tank
                                      ~
rooms and other adjacent areas. The visual examination of the system did not indicate any obvious equipment failure and/or damage to the system in the area. There did not appear to be any damage to or destruction of other equipment and/or systems in either the affected fuel tank room or the access bay. A special licensee team is currently investigating the incident. OSHA also plans an investigation.
Of the twenty-three (23) persons sent to the Hospital due to this incident, one was listed as critical by the hospital. No further information about the injured persons is available from the site.
