- Radio Prague – Two Dukovany nuclear reactors shut down over pipe leak
- Czech Nuclear Plant Comes To A Halt
- 2 Reactors Down after Cooling System Leak!
Reactors 3 and 4 at Dukovany have been stopped, while reactors 1 and 2 will continue working on full capacity
“It is impossible to run the plant in the long run without the system being perfectly tight. But this situation has no influence on safety,” said Dana Drabova, head of the State Nuclear Safety Authority (SUJB), the Czech News Agency reported.
The leak is the first serious malfunction in nearly three decades of Dukovany’s operations. The plant, which supplies one-fifth of the country’s electricity consumption, was built jointly by Czechoslovakia and the USSR in 1985-87. HaTTiP
Two reactors at the Dukovany nuclear power plant have been temporarily shut down due to a leaking water pipe, a spokesman for the plant said on Wednesday. The problem, which appeared in one of the facility’s three cooling water supply systems on Monday, has not put the plant’s security at risk, the spokesman said. It is not clear when the blocks will be reactivated. The two other reactors at the Dukovany plant remain in use.
IAEA conducted a ‘Physical Inventory Verification’ (PIV) at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, in the CzechRepublic, which is situated 170 km south east of Prague. We follow the inspectors as they check the surveillance systems and verify seals. IAEA
