Nuclearelectrica, the operator of nuclear power plant Cernavoda, said that Unit 2 was shut down in controlled mode on November 20 for remedial works.
The shutdown of Unit 2 is necessary to carry out remedial works on equipment that is inaccessible with the reactor in operation, Nuclearelectrica said in a statement filed with the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
The remedial works will be carried out following NPP’s procedures applicable in these situations, and have no impact on the nuclear safety of the reactor, the personnel of the plant, the population and the environment, Nuclearelectrica added.
On Sunday, Cernavoda’s Unit 1 was reconnected to the electric grid after automatically disconnecting on Saturday amid strong winds and heavy rainfall.
