The following information was obtained from the licensee via facsimile (licensee text in quotes):
"At 3:10 PM EST PPL Susquehanna, LLC, declared a Notification of Unusual Event (classification OU4) for a Fire within Protected Area Boundary not Extinguished within 15 Minutes of Detection. The fire occurred in the turbine building of unit 2 which is currently in a refueling outage. Activation of the Emergency plan is reportable under 10CFR50.72(a)(3)."
There were no open flames observed, only smoke. The source of the smoke was weld slag that fell into a bucket of material. Due to the temporary ventilation system installed, the smoke spread throughout the turbine building prompting the licensee to call away a fire. The licensee is investigating the area at this time. There are no personnel injuries or equipment damage at this time. The licensee will inform the NRC Operations Center when the NOUE is terminated.
