PROLONGED LOSS OF VENTILATION IN THE FUEL FABRICATION BUILDING IN THE FBFC ESTABLISHMENT

Following a loss of normalized emergency ventilation and non compliance with procedures, the operators worked for over an hour without dynamic containment. Measurements of atmospheric contamination did not provide any evidence of an increase in atmospheric contamination. Failure of all extracted ventilation systems linked to the presence of common mode between the electrical power supplies to these ventilation systems. Lack in the transmission procedure of the alarm. Non compliance with the instruction which specifies shut down of production facilities in the event of prolonged outage of the ventilation system.
