Emergency Shutdown At Russian Nuke Plant
30 January 2007
ASSOCIATED PRESS (MOSCOW) - An unspecified safety problem prompted an emergency shutdown at a Russian nuclear power plant, but there was no increase in radiation levels. The incident occurred in Saratov at the first unit of the Balakovo plant on Monday, 29 January 2007. The plant has 4 1,000-megawatt pressurized water reactors. Nuclear regulators said the problem was located and corrected on Tuesday, 30 January 2007. A false alarm occurred at the plant in 2004 after a turbine malfunction prompted a shutdown and sparked panic among nearby residents.
