"On May 8th, GNF-A [Global Nuclear Fuels - America] underwent an unplanned local power outage due to failed equipment at a substation. The facility shutdown safely. While critical systems are on generators, the fire alarm systems are on batteries which will be depleted before power can be restored. Compensatory measures were enacted.
"At approximately 1215 (EDT) on May 9th, 2020, the New Hanover County Deputy Fire Marshall was notified per State code requirements that the fire alarm systems would not function. Because the New Hanover County Deputy Fire Marshall was notified, a concurrent notification to the NRC Operations Center is being made per 10 CFR 70, Appendix A(c)."
