FIRE ALARM IN TRAINING BUILDING DUE TO LOSS OF POWER

"This is a Voluntary Report based on a State Notification that does not meet the criteria of 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi).

"At approximately 19:10 hours, the Susquehanna Control Room was notified that offsite fire departments had responded to the Susquehanna Learning Center. This was due to a fire alarm received by the corporate office from the building due to a loss of power to the facility. Offsite fire department personnel along with our Training department inspected the building and found no indications of fire.

"The Susquehanna Learning Center is located outside of the protected area and approximately one eighth mile from the main access road on State Route 11.

"Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency was advised."

The loss of power to the training building was the result from lightning in the area.

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
