Small electrical fire at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station triggers automatic shutdown, no injuries, investigations ongoing.

A small electrical fire at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station in New York triggered an automatic shutdown of both Nine Mile Point Unit 2 and the nearby FitzPatrick reactor. The fire was swiftly controlled, and no injuries occurred. Nine Mile Point Unit 1 continued operating normally. Despite a temporary drop in nuclear power output, the state's grid remained stable. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause, with safety inspections by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in place.
