Around at 4:36pm today, sounded a fire alarm on the basement 1st
floor (the uncontrolled area) of the service building at the unit 1,
we reported to the fire department around at 4:39pm.
Upon immediate investigation, the origin of the smoke had been
identified to be a temporary compact transformer (width, depth, and
height of about 25cm, 24cm, and 18cm, respectively) of lighting
equipment and electrical machine tools used for concrete restoration
work in the underground connection tunnel for power cables (outside
of the physical protection area). The smoke subsequently flowed into
the basement 1st floor of the unit 1 service building and set off the
fire alarm.
A field worker promptly conducted initial fire extinction by an
extinguisher.
Later, the fire department came to the spot and confirmed extinction
of the fire at 5:23pm.
No field workers were injured and no effects of radiation to the
environment were found because of this event.
