Georgia’s largest nuclear plant declared an emergency alert after an electrical fire. Georgia Power officials say a small fire broke out about noon Tuesday and threatened an electrical transformer that supplies electricity to one of the complex’s two older nuclear reactors.
The fire, described as small by Georgia Power Co. spokesperson John Kraft, broke out about noon and threatened an transformer that supplies electricity to one of the complex’s two older nuclear reactors, Vogtle Unit 2.
Dave Gasperson, a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesperson, said the fire was contained and “did not affect any of the plant’s operating systems.” That federal agency oversees nuclear power plants. Gasperson said the commission’s onsite inspector monitored the situation.
