UNUSUAL EVENT - FIRE IN CONTAINMENT
The licensee declared an unusual event at 1510 because of a fire in containment that lasted more than 15 minutes. A fire was reported at 1440 in a tarp that was being used in containment. The tarp is believed to have been ignited by some cutting or grinding going on in the vicinity. The licensee called for assistance from the local fire department, but they extinguished the fire before the fire company could assist. The fire was reported out at 1509. The unusual event was terminated at 1615.
The reactor is defueled with all fuel having been moved to the spent fuel pool. No radioactivity was released.
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.
