On Monday at 11:43 a.m., officials reported smoke in the "B" Residual Heat Removal vault and the plant's fire brigade was called to the scene. The Residual Heat Removal is a system used to help cool down the reactor.
The smoke was believed to be coming from the elevator power supply equipment.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan said because it took the fire brigade more than 15 minutes to declare the event terminated, the plant is required to tell the outside world.
