布鲁克市:美国布鲁克市(新罕布什尔州)核电站一座电梯井着火,此事件已被宣布为“非寻常事件”,但是官方表示并无人员伤亡,不影响核电站安全。
发言人David Barr表示周一事故发生时电梯中没人,核电站的消防系统已经即时切断了电梯的动力供应。
电梯井的浓烟持续冒出了15分钟,核电站被迫宣布此事为“非寻常事件”,这是紧急事件中的最低等级。
布鲁克核电站为美国NextEra能源公司所有,核电站于1990年开始运行,使用期限到2030年,并还将于6月延长到2050年。
Fire In Seabrook’s Elevator Shaft Declared “Unusual Event”
SEABROOK, N.H. (AP) — Smoke in an elevator prompted the Seabrook nuclear power plant in New Hampshire to declare “an unusual event,” but officials say no one was hurt and the incident did not affect plant safety.
Spokesman David Barr says no one was in the elevator when someone noticed smoke coming from a transformer just before noon Monday. The plant’s firefighters quickly disconnected the power to the elevator.
Because the incident lasted more than 15 minutes, the plant was required to declare the unusual event, the lowest level emergency.
Seabrook Station, owned by NextEra Energy, has been operating since 1990. Its existing license runs out in 2030, but it applied in June to extend its license to 2050.
