A short time reactor power reduction and unit disconnection from the national grid occurred at Unit 1 today at 01:42 o’clock. The reason was a large change of the outdoor temperature, at which the correct function of the environmental temperature sensor of one of the outlet transformers has been affected. After having cleared the reason, the operators synchronized the Unit to the national grid at 7:05 o’clock.
Unit 2 is shut down as planned to perform the replacement of the high pressure turbine rotor. All auxiliary systems are working in accordance with the operation needs of individual units.
