OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO FIRE

"At 1459 EDT 06/30/03 a fire was reported on Unit II containment. The fire was on wooden staging, and was about the size of a normal campfire. The fire was a result of the disassembly of the Unit II containment dome. Per procedure, the Seabrook Fire Department was called and responded. The fire was extinguished by the Unit II disassembly crew (the onsite fire brigade did not respond because the fire was outside of the Unit I protected area). The Seabrook Fire Department was not used to extinguish the fire. Corporate Communications Group have been in contact with Channel 9 and with the Associated Press. The fire was extinguished at 1535 using prestaged hoses. The fire water was provided by Hydrant #15 of Seabrook Station's Fire Protection System."
