An automatic shutdown of the power unit occurred at the Zaporizhzhya NPP

At the most powerful in Ukraine Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, the second power unit was automatically turned off. This was recorded during a test test of the electrical system.

This message appeared on the official website of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

The second power unit has just undergone scheduled maintenance and has been disconnected from the power system. Automation worked and blocked its work after two hours. Apparently, it was "not repaired".

It happened this morning. After the repair, the unit was connected at 5:47 Kiev time, and exactly two hours later the protection responded. Now a group of engineers at the nuclear power plant is investigating the causes of the accident.

It is said to have had no impact on the operation of the other five units, which continue to function normally. As noted by the press service of the station, no problems were found either with this equipment or with its operating personnel. The radiation situation at the NPP and the adjacent territory remains normal, the radiation level corresponds to the natural background. At the same time, what could have caused the automation to be turned on is still unknown. They don't talk about the reasons.

The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is considered the largest energy facility in Europe. Its first power unit began operation in 1984.

The load on the system increases, hence it follows
This incident, by the way, is not terrible, the automation worked well. It often happens, as a matter of principle, it is better to play it safe.
But yesterday there was an accident at the seventh power unit of the Burshtyn TPP. Explosion of a gas-vapor mixture. Much more trouble, now the unit will go to repair

[AUL]

Better overdoing than underdoing. Ukraine will not take out the second Chernobyl!

[210ox]

Safety automation at a power plant, and not only atomic ones, is tied to many parameters, settings. AZ triggering happens all the time, everywhere. No, we all lead to Ukraine ..

[Andrey Moskvin]

The usual emergency message. For some reason, you yourself perceived that.

[210ox]

Emergency? Work situation, incident. Now, if the AZ did not work and ... Then the emergency ... More precisely, an accident. To use terms from "Prom Security"

Have they already downloaded the "pencils" from "Westinghouse" or are they just going? Somehow I missed it. If you have time, then this is only the first swallow. A pity - I was in Zaporozhye, it would be a pity for the city. Museum on Khortitsa, DniproHES and Zaporizhstal then, in Soviet times, were impressed.

[210ox]

If you look at it without politics or emotion, then Westinghouse products are of high quality. They are able to make a copy of the VVER assembly.

[alexmach]

So things there are now very unimportant with the energy balance .. And by the way, the return of the unit from the planned repairs should have corrected them. According to the plan, after that, a unit at the Rivne NPP was supposed to undergo scheduled repairs, if it were "held back" a little longer in Ukraine there would be a record number of simultaneously operating units .. it is clear that it will not be long .. the unit of the Zaporizhzhya station will be launched normally and stopped at Rivne ...

[210ox]

Repairs are performed by many services. For example, I worked in the thermal automation workshop at a thermal power plant. A similar service at a nuclear power plant seems to belong to the electronics and automation department. Perhaps she was in a hurry, something was not completed. There may be a bunch of reasons.

[ermak124.0]

Well, the first one is also not her, the whole Union was taken out.

So it is always not scary until it explodes. Ukraine is gradually getting used to not paying attention to emergency situations. And the result is, according to Chernomyrdin: "But this has never happened, and now again" God forbid, of course.

[tralflot1832]

More shutdowns, large and different, only without a boom. It seems like my father's 1 reactor at the Belarusian nuclear power plant is not working at full capacity. We download and pay in euros, yuan, dollars to the legally elected President of Belarus A.G. Lukashenko, for money don’t freeze. You give the federal Republic of Ukraine ...

[alexmach]

My father's like 1 reactor at the Belarusian nuclear power plant is not working at full capacity

So, too, after all, recently, the automatics turned off something there. So far, the longest uninterrupted operation of this reactor is about 50 days.

[tralflot1832]

Yes, they freak out, then one thing will fly out, then another. And so 9 times from the start of the launch. They can not configure how. But the reactor does not mow.

Westinghouse went bankrupt a long time ago, so

Well then, this is, as they say, theirs problems, let them decide for themselves.
It happened at the wrong time for Ukraine, they were in a hurry for commissioning, and this is the result.

[Andrey R2R]

I don’t remember the details, but Westinghouse seemed to be signing a contract with ZNPP for the supply of a passive hydrogen control system for units 1 and 2, the contracts were closed in 2020.

If something happens, Russia will be blamed anyway. In addition, Westinghouse is far from the headquarters, but close to Russia, Crimea - Kuban.

In words, he somehow went bankrupt and went under external control. Non-cash also current payments for claims to bankruptcy will be paid.

Thank you, enlightened his Canadian investment company bought

[Andrey R2R]

Westinghouse, after bankruptcy - SBS corp. (Telecoms, government contracts) and Westinghouse as such, by the way, Ze agreed at a meeting with Biden about his intentions to play 4 more blocks from Westinghouse for 30 lard s, but I think it's simple Wishlist

Westinghouse went bankrupt a long time ago, so

so the Japanese bought up the West. and even before his Fukushima

The Japanese did not pull, they sold Brookfield Business Partners LP to the Canadians

The Japanese didn't pull

... how is evon, then I think why yapi from their Fukushima have been pouring radioactive lines into the sea for 10 years ... it turns out that the maple trees are to blame

[sifgame]

went bankrupt = changed the owner, and did not disappear from the face of the earth

[Crimean partisan 1974]

went bankrupt = changed owner,

not always and not everywhere, we won The cannery pushed products for the entire Union, and now it will turn into a wholesale speculation base .... and along with Vesti .... they shove round timber pines and there is nothing left for superfuel

[sifgame]

Of course, I wrote specifically about Westinghouse

[Crimean partisan 1974]

I specifically wrote about Westinghouse

..... and specifically explained ... I can only add ... This is not a closed-type production company, that is, the raw materials are not their own, but they are bought .. that's from Rosatom and its own raw materials, and production, and disposal of spent fuel. .. and the West does not ... they are not even able to carry out the utilization of their line under the contract ... and no one, I repeat in my common sense, will enter into contracts with a bankrupt ..... you can only repurpose the bunch for something easier than the release of high-tech products

This does not prevent Westinghouse from "working" for Ukraine. And there will be accidents, because there is no need to put any incomprehensible "things" into ....

[rocket757]

And they are two-headed ... one head was responsible for the construction, and she giggled, practically.
Another head assembles fuel assemblies ... a smoking room lives, on previous developments, backlogs, it cannot be removed, fuel assemblies need to be changed regularly for everyone.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

And there will be accidents, because there is no need to put any incomprehensible "things" into ....

... well, the nuclear power plant is constantly shaking, and the Vestas have turned into speculators. TVS that they are pushing not their production, but purchased somewhere from other offices, this is such a whistle ... speculators never worked for anyone, the "gap" is important, and that with regards to the WNOW. they bite off this gap from loans which this very vnau begs all over the world ... well, something like this

[ycuce234-san]

A bankrupt is not a liquidated or preserved enterprise. He may well not even turn off the equipment and pay salaries. It's just that he is not able to pay off his debts - this is such an official legal status and not the state of technological processes.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

He may well not even turn off the equipment and pay salaries. He's just not able to pay

..... in mln ... but why pay salaries if profits, and if the organization declares bankruptcy, then no one will have any contracts with him
I will not sign ... think at your leisure ... all the more so that the Lead office is not a closed loop ...

[ycuce234-san]

Salaries are not paid from profits. Big business signs contracts for many years and decades, and even the debtor can have money for salaries from their execution. He can ship finished products under short-term contracts on the principle of "commodity-money", look for new owners who are ready to pay off their debts, government subsidies, business managers. The nuclear division that formed Westinghouse Electric Company LLC has not yet been liquidated, despite the fact that it is bankrupt, and even has a live website - https://www.westinghousenuclear.com/
As I understand it, engineers and workers still carry out some kind of production activity and these economic games of management do not concern them as much as is customary in our penates, where usually, at the very first problems, everyone is thrown out of work, and high-tech enterprises are scrapped. ...

[Crimean partisan 1974]

conduct some kind of production activity

... that's it .. what that ... and this suggests that they are engaged in speculation .. that in general, in such a position, Vesti and hang

[ycuce234-san]

For this, the shareholders do something to them without anesthesia - this does not apply to dividends. And in our country, many living and profitable enterprises look worse, like "living zombies" in comparison with this foreign bankruptcy. You can walk around the site for at least an hour and just assess the condition from the photo of the industrial infrastructure - it speaks in itself.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

And we have many alive

... and we have gas in our apartment ....... I have no desire to recruit fleas by climbing on no ... one thing is good that the junta cut off the water in the SKK (North Crimean canal) .... otherwise it would be radioactive laino and would have swam to us as it was already in 1986 ..

And here many lively and profitable enterprises look worse,

.. well, it would look the same if the leadership of the Russian Federation would rob the whole world ... well, since there is ... there is a need to save your own ... and Westin is ... a parasite, ... and this is good for the Western economy

[ycuce234-san]

For a clear understanding of the difference in approaches: the foreign bankrupt continues to innovate and develops projects for installations like eVinci ™ Micro-Reactor or Sentry ™; there is a section "Careers" for those wishing to work in a bankrupt company. It is impossible to imagine our industry in their place, where only the security service is bankrupt and works - so that valuable scrap metal is not pilfered until it is successfully sold by the owners.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

foreign bankrupt continues

..... well, mlyn, I will repeat myself ... foreign bankrupts have something to support, because because the military structure puts almost the whole world with cancer and this is what makes it possible to rob with impunity in the area of ​​exclusivity, that is, no right to Western countries do not extend ... so it is as it is ..... what with regards to the Russian Federation ... then the constitution of the Elzenoids needs to be thoroughly corrected ... but for now this is not enough strength ... here is the recent oralovo ... families of diplomatic representatives of the Russian Federation announced nongradom categorically do not want to return to their homeland ... like this ... how so ... then blame the x with the citizenship of the Russian Federation ... but here's the constitution ... and so on ...

[ycuce234-san]

There is also a certain difference in cultural and economic mentality.
They exist, these cultural differences - for example, in the Western tradition there is a tradition of depicting a lingual "green man" in temple architecture, and we have never added goblin to religious buildings. So it is in the economy - for at least a little promising and progressive enterprises, their managers are fighting to the end.
The introduction of collateral systems in case of bankruptcy would help us - you cannot liquidate an enterprise without depositing your own money as collateral at the market value of analogues of such an enterprise in the world market. Accordingly, if the plant was simply cut down, then they won’t get the money back.

[Mikhail3]

It's okay for now. The operation of electrical automatics after repairs is a fairly common thing, especially if not very qualified guys did the electrical repairs. One student or, God forbid, a young specialist is enough), and beware! Such a thing will never occur to anyone that such miracles are possible at all.
The worst thing happens when "he thought". When hell, trash, frenzy and complete collapse are going on all around, you should know that some of the youth will tell you later - "Nuuu ... I thought." For some reason, no reasonable thoughts come into the heads of those who are inclined to such "thought". Never. Always creepy nightmares)
Let's hope it’s okay with a shutdown.

[Fisherman]

The pan-heads decided to start all the units, even those that were stopped for scheduled repairs. Oh, SOMETHING WILL BE !!!!

[prior]

At the same time, what could have caused the automation to be turned on is still unknown. They don't talk about the reasons.

It’s even strange that they didn’t blame Russia right away.
Atypical and unusual. But, apparently, it's not over yet ...

Unfortunately, the predictions of experts who predict all kinds of accidents in the energy sector of Ukraine come true .... it looks like the worst has begun to come true ...... it is quite possible that not everyone is talking, but only about "automatic operation" ... they will give negative information in doses ...

It seems like in the article it is written that it was passing tests after a major overhaul.

And it's just that emergency shutdowns due to the operation of the automatic system occur quite often.

When the worst starts to come true at a nuclear power plant, it looks like Chernobyl, Fukushima or Three Mile Island.

Of course, the safety of NPP operation in Ukraine raises very big concerns, but you should not panic for any reason.

[Sands Careers General]

No matter how macaques arrange a second Chernobyl. After all, they can, the station and the reactor will not last forever.

Constantly, then trips, then accidents.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

And then it will be more fun than at the Kabul airport.

[Ros 56]

A serious bell rang in Banderostan, wait for the next one. Something else can happen to striped Westinghouse.

[Rostislav]

Automation turns off the equipment without informing about the reasons for the emergency stop ?! Something new in control systems.
What is there for such a reason that they are afraid to make public?

[75 Sergey]

Watch the radiation background

[Dzafdet]

Previously, they had the SM-2M under control. But what is it worth now?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

The "wise" Ukrainian people, the whole country will soon turn off.

[75 Sergey]

Interestingly, there are TVELs or amerovskie?

[Momento]

remained Russian just 2 and 6 blocks. probably the 2nd unit was reloaded with Swedish fuel rods.
