The company Nuclearelectrica, engaged in the maintenance of the Romanian nuclear power plant, said that the reactor was disconnected from the energy system today due to identified problems.
The previous failure of the same nuclear power plant in Romania occurred last Sunday. Then, as a result of the failure, the power plant also had to be disconnected from the entire electrical generation system. And in the said company they stated that repair work was carried out at the station, as a result of which the situation had normalized.
