“The investigations and remedial works will be carried out in compliance with the procedures, with no impact on nuclear safety, personnel and population,” Nuclearelectrica said in a statement filed with the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).
Early on Wednesday.(June 25), Unit 2 had been reconnected to the grid following the successful completion of a planned outage program, Nuclearelectrica said in statement filed with BVB on Wednesday. During the planned outage, the nuclear operator had carried out maintenance and mandatory testing on Unit 2. Later that day, there was a release of smoke without flame in the administrative section of the NPP. The nuclear operator said that it identified and managed the source of the smoke, that there were no risks, and that both reactors were operating at normal parameters following the incident.
The power plant operates two units of 700 MW each that generate roughly a fifth of Romania’s electricity output.
