Subject:
MAIN TRANSFORMER FIRE - MEDIA INTEREST At 6:32 p.m. on May 18, 1999, a fire occurred at the Pilgrim Station in the main electrical transformer. At the time of the event, the unit was in a refueling outage 6nd the main transformer was electrically isolated, with the transformer oil drained to support maintenance and testing activities.. A )ost-maintenance test was in progress for a component
-(bushing) that lad been replaced during the outage. Shortly after the fire was discovered, the licensee requested off-site firefighting assistance. An Unusual Event was declared at 6:52 p.m. based on the request for this assistance. The fire was characterized as " smoldering with no visible flames."
Carbon dioxide and a small amount of water was used to suppress the fire.
The fire was extinguished at 8:21 p.m., and the Unusual Event was terminated at 9:25 p.m.
The fire had no adverse effect on the plant other than immediate damage to the transformer. Except for a planned outage of the "A" emergency diesel generator and its associated vital bus, the plant's on-site and off-site vital electrical equipment remained available throughout the event. The licensee's initial damage assessment revealed that a bushing and current transformer electrical lead within the main transformer were damaged. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the licensee.
One minor injury cccurred to a fire brigade member as a result of static discharge during use of a carbon dioxide extinguisher. The individual was transported to a hospital and subsequently released.
The resident inspector responded to the site upon notification of the event.
The licensee issued a Press Release on May 19. 1999.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has been notified of the event.
Reaion I received initial notification of the occurrence by telephone call from Eric Olson at-7:13 p.m., on May 18, 1999. The information presented in this PN has been discussed with the licensee and is current as of 11:00 a.m., May 19, 1999.
