Fire at California's San Onofre nuclear plant burns for over 40 minutes - Cause unknown

A fire in Unit 2′s electrical panel on the non-radiological side broke out Friday, but it was extinguished in less than an hour. No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The fire started at 12:34 p.m. Friday in an electrical panel in an area where non-radioactive steam pushes the turbine that generates electricity and burned until the plant's fire crew put it out at 1:14 p.m., said David Song, a utility spokesman.

Edison spokeswoman Jennifer Manfre said the fire was "controlled easily."

The utility reported an "unusual event" to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at 12:49 p.m. and ended the event at 1:41 p.m.

This just smacks of "cover story". Who knows what really caused the fire; it may have been some kind of terrorism, not sanctioned by the elite in the government, and they do not want any press time for something they cannot exploit. Great find though Chris.
