Two generators shut down at Kola Nuclear Power Plant
Two generators at the Kola Nuclear Power Plant were shut down last week due to a fault in the anti-fire system.
Turbine generators 5 and 6 on reactor number three were stopped last Tuesday, and capacity was reduced from 980MW to 600MW, a press release from Rosenergoatom reads.
One of the generators was restarted Wednesday morning, and capacity is currently at 896MW. According to Rosenergoatom, the plant is working safely and efficiently and the radiation situation at the plant and in its 30-km monitoring zone is within norm.
