BERWICK, Pa. (AP) — A nuclear plant was operating at reduced power Thursday because of a small oil fire at a pump that provides water to one of the reactors, officials said.

The fire started at PPL's Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Luzerne County around 11:15 p.m. Wednesday at a pump that provides one of the two reactors with water, plant spokesman Joe Scopelliti said. The cause of the fire remained under investigation.

The plant's fire brigade reacted quickly and there were no injuries, Scopelliti said. There was no threat to the public, he said.

Power was reduced to 65 percent at the affected reactor on Thursday while repairs were being made. The other reactor was unaffected by the fire and remained at full power.
