The building was evacuated, and onsite personnel extinguished the fire. The area is secured and no operations were ongoing at the time of the notification. The licensee initially reported that low levels of removable radioactive contamination were detected in the incinerator area of the facility. The State has a DRH technical manager on site to evaluate the corrective actions taken by the licensee and to assess the cause of the fire.
Preliminary information indicates that there was no personnel contamination.
Air samplers set up in the worker area indicate that the derived air concentration did not exceed 28 percent of the workplace airborne concentrations allowable under the license. The incinerator area is a separate area from the rest of the facility and remains shut down for clean up and evaluation.
